Is the whole DoD, with a massive budget unable to mitigate this thing?
Think about it for a second: The most 'technologically advanced' country in the world brought down to its knees by some third-world operating entity! Really?
How come I never heard any kind of investigation? And by the way, it was to the legitimate government of a sovereign state. An ally of ours if I may add.
"Google is the biggest threat to the free flow of information," Gab chief executive Andrew Torba said in a statement..."
In other words, you have the freedom of speech but aren't allowed to speak freely, *and* be heard. That is - even if one lives and works in the "most free" country in the world.
Antidepressants block the absorption of serotonin in these organs as well, and the researchers warn that antidepressants could increase the risk of death by preventing multiple organs from functioning properly.
Is it just me? I find the whole idea of a pill curing depression rather strange. I think what we need is a more just society; a society that focuses less on material possessions or money but more on family -
whatever that may mean to an individual.
Let's remember that there are communities on this planet where depression is an unknown, especially the so called third world nations, despite their popluation's daily struggle to survive.
For example, when iOS users attempt to access the app, they receive a pop-up requiring them to update the program. The pop-up directs users to the App Store -- where they are informed the Equifax app is no longer available.
Someone is responsible for this mess. Especially the unfortunate message that leads nowhere...Why do companies do this?
Linus, I am afraid, is sounding more like the USA, with its [former] relationship with what became the Taliban, even though the spheres of influence are very far apart. Am I alone?
I used to love SuSE for its ability to manage dependencies, especially circular dependencies. These used to drive mu nuts on RedHat.
To "resolve" them, I often used to "force install" them, ruining my system in the process. I understand things have since changed [for the better], right?
... a team from Zhejiang University translated typical vocal commands into ultrasonic frequencies that are too high for the human ear to hear, but perfectly decipherable by the microphones and software powering our always-on voice assistants.
I extol the Chinese on this discovery; & let's also agree that there's likely to be a [quick] fix as it doesn't seem that complicated.
You actually approve blocking websites going against net neutrality and freedom of speech?
We should perhaps be careful, not to expect that nation states will necessarily follow what may be "reasonable" in another nation state. After all, even the so called "Freedom of Speech" isn't absolute everywhere.
Coding at the professional level is highly specialized and requires years of practice to master... the idea of a bootcamp for coding is just as practical as the idea of a bootcamp for surgery.
I guess it all depends. If the output expected is participants being able to manipulate visually [screen] displayed objects or familiarize themselves with a particular language, then they work.
If however, the output expected is of folks who can do heavy serious coding (read coding closer to the metal), then such camps are a pipe dream.
Google told the the magazine's staff that if publishers didn't add the "+" Google Plus social network button at the bottom of stories, those articles would come up lower in search results.
They had to somehow "push" Google Plus down our throats. I would give some advice to Google if they want some traction.
Improve its interface. Have consumers continue to consume video content on the screen even while scrolling and consuming other material.
In other words, borrow a leaf from Facebook. They seem to be doing pretty well. Emulate the successful.
"There's a major shift [occurring] where it's not about the country with the most resources; it's more about the countries with modern regulatory reform and a willingness to try new things."
A good news story from this part of the world this is very unusual. This is very welcome news.
I personally thought that this part of the world was very desolate till I visited years ago. Good that Slashdot is highlighting an encouraging story as well.
One thing I learnt is that life continues even in places where the likes of main stream media do not cover...or choose to cover negative aspects of - and folks there seem or apear to be happier.
That said, just being able to mute CNN.com would be a big win. I'd like to kill their autoplay videos entirely for bandwidth reasons, but at least I'll be able to look at their website now while listening to other things in the background without their stupid autoplay video crap forcing itself upon my ears.

I know who to blame: "Those Russians."
Can We Reduce Cow Methane Emissions By Breeding Low-Emission Cattle?
The answer is in the question, isn't it? Bold mime. How did this make it to Slashdot?
Didn't the Obama administration do something similar to the Israelis?

One word: Buy!
I prefer its interface to Yahoo Mail or GMail.
Which service is *so good* anyway?

I should start the process of being the "sole distributor" of this thing in North America.
With over 300K intersections in the US alone, this strategy should guarantee millions of dollars in income, with little to no effort.
or even Windows instead.
I stopped reading right there, but I then realized it was too late!
Dude, you should perhaps consider educating yourself before making posting uninformed verbiage on a respectable resource like Slashdot.

May I kindly ask you to advise us what exactly is there to understand by [China] blocking Facebook.
More than a billion folks use it. Are they all at a disadvantage?
Two new reactors, Olkiluoto 3 and Hanhikivi 1, are due to go online in 2018 and 2024, respectively.
These plants are most likely to be of either Russian design or have significant Russian parts.
I can't explain why the Finns decided to involve the Russians at all.
According to a 2015 USC report, President Obama was kept abreast of efforts to challenge media's stereotypical portrayals of women...
This news piece talks of the absence of male teachers.
I'd like to have an effort targeted to this imbalance too. Google, anyone?

At this point in time, I wish Google would show some real love to its apps like...
Photos - Introduce [meaningful] sorting. Let's be able to at least sort video from photos...
Gmail - Move its interface presentation changes from requiring an extension to having this setting by default.
YouTube - Why should I lose sight of my video while scrolling through comments on the desktop version?
Calendar - Why can't I copy an event from place to place?
Google, are these thing so difficult to implement?
...Time to short the stock, I guess.
I understand that Amazon hasn't been profitable for a while. Why would a company with such an ugly statistic slash prices this much? I do not get it!
