Mathematics is either flawed or not; math doesn't tarnish or rust or break. It was either secure to begin with, or insecure all along. The only difference is that if it's insecure and new there's a chance no one knows the flaw yet and perhaps you fix it before anyone finds it. But it could be secured (eg by sufficiently advanced firewall rules), and if it's secure it's secure. On that note, I wouldn't mind reading the Trump emails if anyone has them. I'd bet either Wikileaks or the New York Times would be willing to publish Trump emails, if someone were to get them off that supposedly insecure server.
Ellen Pao should cut ties with the American public, because a large portion of them support Trump and therefore she equates them with "advocating hatred and violence" and "Giving more power to someone whose ascension and behavior strike fear into so many people".
Incidentally, Hillary also strikes fear in the hearts of many people, and makes them feel unsafe.
But seriously, this is how it has to be. The software is not yet advanced enough to intentionally cause or exacerbate accidents, in the absurdly rare circumstances where that might be a good idea. Because you know that if they tried that it would crash you into a tree to save the life of a flying paper bag or something.
And if the software ever does advance to where it could do that, it's still more important to entice the dangerous psychopaths who prefer their own safety over that of all others to use the autopilot.
Make sure you remember that "it's only money" next time a pension fund is looted. After all, it's not like losing money causes people to experience stress, take more risks with their health/safety to save money, or die before their time. IMO the real problem is that the primary fraudsters (seriously, who thought it was a good idea to let high frequency traders steal a bit each time someone makes a trade?) not only got no jailtime, but get to keep millions.
His mistake was not spending half his earnings on hookers and blow (which may or may not be code for "secretly buried wads of cash and/or bars of gold at an undisclosed location").
It could also be that they discovered a pattern where population density correlates with wealth. It would make sense to target high population density for internet, since pretty much anyone who can afford to own or rent a home can also afford internet.
Are you kidding me? The millenials are so full of themselves that they take selfies ten times a day and post them to social media. Now that's the me generation.
Boomers: fucked over the millennials by massively overspending and burdening the younger generations with huge debt, impoossibly high housing prices and vast retirement programs to find.
Millenneals: invent a device to take photographs for free, invent a way to publish pictures for free, take selfies
Conclusion: fucking millennials are the "me" generation.
Youth have always been lazy and disrespectful of their elders. This has been commented on for about 4 thousand years; its a wonder kids these days do anything at all.
It is harmful to our society and breeds disrespect for the law which was duly passed by an elected congress.
You mean the Congress with the 1 digit approval rating, almost all members of which I had no say in electing and don't like the one which supposedly represents me?
The author concludes that our best hope to fix this trend is a return of high gasoline prices.
IMO, that's ONE way it might change, but pretty much the WORST option.
Oh, there are far far worse options. Increasing the cost of something will decrease usage, starting with the least necessary usage. Also, a lot of supposedly "necessary" usage will eventually be reduced or eliminated, possibly after a painful transition. The price could be increased by placing a tax on it, and returning the proceeds to the people in a way that would minimize the damage to the most affected people or industries.
Alternatives such as laws requiring carpooling, laws forbidding gasoline engines, etc would have a similar effect but be painfully inflexible. Certainly less restrictive laws or even "encouraging conservation" could also help, but would have a more limited effect.

So that your nerdy friend will stop bugging you to use a *real* operating system, and start bugging you to read the fine manual! :D
If it's not free, then how much does he charge? Illegal =/= Impossible
The more oppressive a government is, the more likely their name will include words like "people's", "republic", "democratic", "union", etc..
You mean like with "Honest John's Quality Cars"?

Under the state of emergency, all expressions or communication that could incite violence have been banned,
How can they communicate that new rule without violating it?
Uh... the horses were retrained as mechanics?

This means that if I want the DRM-free game, I can buy it from the developers instead of having to get it from TPB.
Yet Verizon does not offer customers a standard unlimited plan,
The option charges you $2 for 30 minutes or $3 for 60 minutes of unlimited internet data.
So it's a truly unlimited plan, but they refund you for the time you're not using it. Only $2160 per month.
Why did your generation need such a harsh punishment for (letting on that you're) being disrespectful?
My theory is that intelligent life is harder to detect than a galaxy, and it seems almost all galaxies have been undetected until now...
How well do doctors compare to a patient with access to the internet and a good dose of motivation?

If they did a few of those exploding drones here, we would finally have a quick and definite answer to how to deal with trespassing drones.

"become smarter than humans and immortal."
Hey, that's my goals too!
And I can point you to a bunch of religious people who think they've already achieved that goal.
I know nothing about Russia. I know -- I know about Russia, but I know nothing about the inner workings of Russia.
Are those the words of a Presidential contender, or a fuckwit?
Sounds to me like the words of an American.

If you're not prepared to die, you're likelier to panic, do something stupid, and then die.
