Maybe change verification to a real process, like using a notary public to verify one's identity?
That blue checkmark is an unnecessary status symbol. Twitter should be like any other service and only use the blue checkmark as a mundane notification that an account is the real person and not an anonymous troll or an impersonator.
Too bad it wasn't using biometrics like old so-called "fingerprint" scanners do. They say "fingerprint" but what they really meant was "biometrics" including electrical measurements, not the actual, physical fingerprint.
Using the measurements, like oxygen saturation (which the phones have been doing for over a decade) in addition to the fingerprint were the right idea then.
Needs to be charged for two hours a day? They cheaped out on equipment. Using non-local GPS computation* and Lithium batteries would power it orders of magnitude longer.
*A non-local GPS system like Skybitz GLS relays the dozen or so GPS signal data to servers in the cloud, thus saving battery usage.
Wait, I haven't been able to read them since they discontinued Microsoft Reader in 2012. All those e-books I used on my WinCE and Pocket PCs, and later on my Windows PC are now unreadable.
SPARC, POWER and older brother RS/6000, MIPS*, and ARM's granddaddy DEC Alpha dominated the data center space for decades. It was the cost/performance ratio of the far less efficient Intel architectures that let them win in this space.
We could easily reduce data center footprint by 1/3 by using RISC, but that's not how a free market works.
If you watch the video, the container is mangled and broken into pieces and both it and its contents are in an inaccessible crevice. The tide comes in and floods the area. The Garfield phones float up and out through the small crevice.
Speaking of fictional data storage, I want to know more about the crystal storage and the data blackout that happened years before the story being told in in Blade Runner 2049.

Not quite.
If the author meant RDS, that is MariaDB, MySQL, PostgreSQL, MS SQL Server, or Oracle.
If the author meant Amazon Aurora, that's is own technology with an interface that looks like MySQL and one that looks like PostgreSQL but it is neither one.
In the urban neighborhood where I work we have had scooters from at least five different companies for at least a year. They all look like they've been in a war zone and repaired multiple times.
This is horrible for the environment, not to mention an eyesore for the neighborhood.
While I agree on the premise, there are literally no other services that I can think of that expect to you put a proxy in front of them to provide security with the possible exception of Tomcat.
Speaking of Elasticseach and security, up until a relatively short time ago the community release of Elasticsearch didn't even have passwords or TLS. To hear news like this makes me think that running an operation like that undermined its security culture.
The add-on is called X-Pack and only became freely available in the June 2018 with Elasticsearch 6.3.
I would have accepted the idea that it can't be uninstalled or disabled, has upsell notifications and suggestions, if it were anything but yet another WebKit browser.
Hold on. In 2011, Germany's citizens voted to eliminate all nuclear power by 2022. This makes it highly unlikely they will meet any clean energy goal without nuclear.
I predict Germany will just end up buying power from neighboring France who have such an embarrassing large surplus of nuclear energy that they are in an economic crisis over plants that can't be funded due to the glut.

The idea that massive public electronic displays like these aren't monitored by a human 24/7 is preposterous.

I guess I can't read my *.LIT e-books anymore.

Wait, I didn't notice.
OK, then, old sport.
Late night drinking is a likely reason.
Ooooh, sick burn!
But I have to admit I have never seen a real animated PNG in the wild and I've been here for 30+ years.
Surely you jest. Everyone calls it "the six editor."
You don't call a JPEG a Jay-Pheg!!
The real answer is RISC.
SPARC, POWER and older brother RS/6000, MIPS*, and ARM's granddaddy DEC Alpha dominated the data center space for decades. It was the cost/performance ratio of the far less efficient Intel architectures that let them win in this space.
We could easily reduce data center footprint by 1/3 by using RISC, but that's not how a free market works.

Don't forget FidoNet.
AWS specifically forbids itself from examining or otherwise gaining access to customers' resources.

Both MySQL and PostgreSQL provide for public key encryption, in other words, not just "single password security."

No. Each of those has built-in security. I think you read my post incorrectly.
@AOC isn't going to like that at all.

Came here to emphasis this. I planned to use my raw data results with Promethease but thanks for letting me know about SNPedia, too!
