How does someone find out if they are in the list and being watched? Paranoid
The list is of Securus' law enforcement customers, not individual citizens. And there is no "list of people being watched" here. The data is already being collected on everyone, it's just a matter of if a Securus customer made any requests about you. Without more info on how one uses the service, it's hard to tell if there is a record of who was tracked.
That's what I remember, too. We should stop calling them by their old name, as that only plays into their game of trying to dissociate themselves from their past actions.
The experiment was shut down when the AIs attempted to adapt English words into a different sentence structure to talk more efficiently but they could no longer be understood by the researchers. People got spooked.
Chili's has those stupid at-table tablet kiosks that allow you to order things and pay your bill yourself.
In the current climate of card skimming devices being installed by criminals at ATMs and gas pumps -- consider that. A portable, wireless, card reading device that is being left unsupervised for long periods of time, and the customer is being encouraged to use by the staff.
I'd be curious how they are going to come up with a legal definition for what is and is not junk food. Does it have to be like Cheetos and Mountain Dew, or will McDonald's no longer be able to advertise either? And if fast food is no longer allowed, do we have to set the standard of a casual dining restaurant? You can get healthy food quickly. too depending on the business.
No, that still wont work. There's no official oversight of the transaction itself.
Even if bills had RFID in them you would have to keep record of who has possession of every bill, and track every single change in ownership of each bill, which is impossible if people can just hand them to each other like... pieces of paper.
I can buy a car for $12,000 from you, and then you can fill out a bill of sale saying I only paid $9,000. I'm under the limit and now how does the government prove I paid more? How do they prove that change in ownership of the other $3,000 wasn't for something else?
Yeah... like I'm going to get into any transportation method that leaves the ground from a company whose business model depends on avoiding legal responsibility for anything that happens on the trip.
Yeah, really. How do they know the vehicle "ignored" the woman? Maybe it just acted like it didn't recognize it needed to take action when it really was targeting her.
Was this flawed software deemed "non-complaint" by a government regulatory body of some sort after the Equifax breach?
... No?
Well, then, why the hell would you expect things to change? The financial sector isn't going to do anything that costs money or time that doesn't personally benefit them unless you force them to.
If there was a way he could make this law apply only to him and his family, he would have done it that way, but there is not.
He'd have to be much, much richer, or a politician or some other big celebrity. Then he could use the relative difference in his "importance" level in society to argue for special rules that applied to him but not other people. Kinda like how leaked personal information can hurt the image (and therefore career) of movie stars. Or legislators claim that it's "risk to national security" if they don't get x or y special treatment.
Yes - the longest _land_ route, which the article is about, does have one end near Sagres, Portugal...
Not to be pedantic, but the subject of the article is the algorithm.
...but the quoted text is describing the longest sea route.
Exactly. The original AC is complaining about the summary saying "Pakistan" instead of "Portugal" -- like it's a typo. The subject of that sentence in the summary is the sea route, as you said. So Pakistan is correct, not Portugal.
Huh? If you look at TFA, the line clearly has an endpoint on the western edge of the Indian subcontinent, and does not approach western Europe at all..
There's bots, and just like all other chat services since the beginning of AOL, and they will continue trying to lure people to other websites, but there is no financial incentive for the site owners themselves to deceive people the same way. Matchmaking is not Facebook's only purpose (unlike Match.com), and their business model is based on data mining, not direct subscriptions (at this point).
Since Facebook is a "free" website you wont have a bunch of paid actors on the site stringing lonely people along trying to keep them subscribing to service.
Does Australia, Canada, New Zealand, France, Germany, The Netherlands, and Sweden each get a turn summoning a CEO for questions?
It's a big unrealistic to expect someone to visit every country in a timely manner.
He could have arranged a question-and-answer session before an international representative group and done this all at once -- it's not like it's been a secret UK legislators have wanted to talk to him. He just chose to play the classic "I'm going to ignore you unless I'm legally obligated to because you can arrest me" card.
Who'd have though being a major figure in an global business would require lots of meetings with people you don't really want to talk to?:rolleyes:

OSX already uses the .app extension for application bundles, so get ready for a new domain race for Apple developers.

Bycyklen described the hack as "rather primitive,"
What does that say about your security, Bycyklen?
That's Big Island, not Large Island. -__-

Can't police person-to-person transactions.
Just as soon as Trump hears Obama did it, he'll have it repealed.

The AC is complaining about a line in the summary discussing the sea route, though.

You mean a Beowulf neighborhood?
It would be like a Microsoft initiative to "Have Microsoft on Every Business PC!"
Yeah, I'm sure Microsoft has never had a goal like this. (guffaw)

It's better than Windows 10 where you get a a polished boot stamping on a human face — forever.
