At last count, all but 2 of the current WH cabinet and relatives of the Russian there had been illegally deleting emails, social media, and not doing their jobs.
A lot of heuristic analytics are showing that consumers are starting to drop email, actually, and that adding chrome like add on services to such is mostly a waste of time.
It's time for another seismic shift, and rearranging the deckchairs like this won't stop it.
I, for one, welcome our new In-pig-men Overlords, and wish someone had realized how close the pig genome was to humans before we were replaced, once they learned how to code telepathically our robot slaves.
The more you squeeze the worlds of information, the more they will slip from your tentacles, Emperor Zuckerberg, and everyone will use some other source.
Nope. Do you know how difficult and expensive it is to build and operate Arctic bases with full military observation readiness? Just keeping one plane up with a minimal range means you need a set of crews, have to maintain a long supply line, and have to provide all the support services.
Local people who understand conditions, and adapt well to observation, are a very reliable investment.
Actually mind reading by device has existed for quite a few years now, but it requires a baseline read to compare and a decent trained dataset. It's still in beta stage, but it does exist.
1) On iOS, pressing the power button 5 times quickly will disable biometrics and require the PIN/password/etc authentication. ("Emergency mode" it's called)
2) Face ID requires you to look at it. If you're not looking at it it will refuse to do a recognition attempt (but still count as one of the 5 tries). If you failed to do step 1 when handing over your phone, looking everywhere else (or closing your eyes) is sufficient to fail scanning. This also means pointing the phone at your face from a distance will fail it. (And as well, it will probably scan whoever's got your phone as well, reducing the count before mandatory passcode).
Not really. They just have to have one 3D image from standard camera range where you met those conditions. The only safe way is PIN only.
For millennia, we used to recycle the remains of people. We would bury them, and then when we needed more space, we'd move the bones to ossuaries, then we would use the dust from those bones to make walls with.
Why not accelerate the process and mix the ashes from the cremated remains into Memorial buildings that are used for ceremonies, like convention centers or other buildings not in continual use, and provide access for those interred in the very building to be remembered according to their religious preferences?
The sad part is you have no idea how effective that program is. It's actually much more effective than trying to get 6 F-35s into Arctic airspace, and costs a miniscule fraction to provide a far more effective result.
By reporting back telemetry in a method that it can be used by trained "external advisory" Russian agents, it doesn't matter how the software works, it matters what it does and what route it takes.
Additionally, a number of states have strong privacy rights in their State Constitutions, including Washington State (WA), which is why the police, even the feds, are not able to put GPS trackers on vehicles or people in the boundaries of that state, or where they may reasonably be expected to traverse.
Just a note that both citizens of the EU and those of Canada have strong protections for privacy that we signed data treaties to protect, and collecting such video without their express consent at the time of collection is a violation of their rights, and the treaties. In Canada, these are Constitutional Privacy Rights which apply worldwide to all Canadian citizens. Similar constraints apply to various EU nations.
While it is true that home built desktops are a big thing (like my home PCs), and don't show up in metrics unless you clock motherboard stats, with those counted being that somebody buys an OEM OS for them, the next big thing is going to be wearable computers.
We have the tech to do this already. Basically, you wear the computer. It might be a belt, or part of a jacket, and the sleeve of your pants or jacket might be the keyboard or one uses a holographic input. The power supply has been the main constraint, but we're getting much improved battery tech and we can use incidental Wi-Fi for power charges.
It won't replace your gaming computer yet, but it's coming.
1. State actors never have your own best interests at heart.
2. Frat tech boys will always get their feelings hurt. And whine whenever they aren't winning massively.
3. Comment your code. Always. And stick to naming conventions, it saves a lot of time - for you, and for others.
4. Low cost index mutual funds and ETFs will always outperform actively managed stock and bond funds. Property will always outperform all of these in areas of high population and job growth. You can't take it with you, so don't buy a house you don't need until you actually need it, and never look back.
5. Lists are for people who have problems. Which is, quite frankly, everyone.
6. Take showers and brush teeth/hair. Don't wear shirts or underwear more than one day. Keep spares at work or a gym if that's hard to do.
Look, reactor fallout and dirty bombs are not quite the same.
The main thing is this: incidental exposure in an area with rain is only that from direct contact and ingestion, either via air (masks) or water/food.
You can flush your system with drinkable water, on a residential level, from the water stored in your hot water heater and in your toilet reservoirs, as well as anything in your fridge or freezer.
It's only from crops grown or water collected after the incident that you have a risk. Shower if exposed, change clothes exposed. Don't eat local products grown after the time of exposure.

Sure, let's go off and pretend that's ok.

All hail the Porkamon Empire!

Pattern match is based on standard biometrics - only impacts if your eyes, nose, mouth, chin are impacted. They can beat you bloody everywhere else.

The safest way is to use the SSN of the NSA chief. I find nobody ever uses this as their PIN, and it's ironic.

Oh, darn, I disabled FaceUnlock for my iPhone. How could that have happened?
Easy solution: stop spying on Americans.
If the Russians ever tried anything, Canada has an elite force of eskimos on snowmobiles who have .303 rifles and it would be very bad for Putin.

The Cold War is back. Get used to it.
Only old people use cars, grandpa.
The smart way they do it is by limiting license plates, and instead of costly trials or lawsuits, they just crush your car if it's not licensed.
On the spot.

Regardless of one's intentions.
Internal Chinese market also has electric trucks, and they're way more mass produced. They're just not for export.
Just because you believe something is true, doesn't make it so.
Signatures are also useful in terms of identity theft, which is now rampant.

It seems to have some problems differentiating between Llamas, and incorrectly identifying coyotes.

Not necessarily. For example, a lot of solar and wind fabrication happens in Washington State and Nevada.
In point of fact, just the UW alone owns more than 40 basic patents and licenses them for solar, wind, biofuel and battery technology.
It's sad how little you know about modern America.
Adapt. Become more efficient. America surrenders to nobody.
