As a non-American on Facebook, every time I voice my opinion about anything related to politics, I am potentially influencing the outcome of the US elections....
Honestly, there is no other platform out there to share porn. Considering how much traffic porn generates, and the fact they owned porn sharing, Tumblr should have embraced it. Now they have destined themselves to be just another wannabe social media platform.
I'm still pissed at them because of Squeezebox. I have two perfectly good Squeezeboxes gathering dust because they chose to abandon the Squeezebox community. As the rest of the world moved on to UPNP and standardized home media streaming platforms, Logitech chose not to. I would be hesitant to buy any higher end products from them that fall into this category again.
The obvious point is that Whatsapp runs on end-to-end encryption, so it cannot be censored or monitored by design, so what the Indian government want is irrelevant.
It's really hard to tell what Facebook is actually doing. It has become clear that lying to congress is totally acceptable if it is to be regarded in the interests of 'National Security'. Government actors have been caught out time and time again lying to congress without consequence. If Facebook is indeed doing this, Zuckerburg would have some kind of protection in this circumstance. The more pertinent line of approach here would be to determine if Facebook receives revenue from Security actors
The Upgrade is not complex if you are in a hurry.
I used ATV Flash Kodi Edition. ( https://firecore.com/atvflash-... ) It cost me about $29 but its money well spent. The installation was fast and smooth.
It replaces the ATV OS with OpenElec/Kodi which is a flavor of Linux built built to serve as a media platform ( https://openelec.tv/ ) . If you are the adventurous type, you can simply install OpenElec for Apple TV 1 which is free to download.
I have an external USB hub that allows me to connect as many External USB drives to my system as I wish - Which Is why I went with the ATV 1 in the first place - later versions of ATV have done away with the USB port, so you have to have NAS to access your media, which is a pain.
The Tesla phenomena isn't just about the cars - Tesla's range and supercharger network have played a critical role in their success.
Most other manufacturers are still at step 1 in the process - building the cars - and they won't be really successful until their is a common charging infrastructure that all cars can use.
There is a distinct difference between Intelligence and Consciousness.
I have no doubt that the AI we are building will improve dramatically, even to the point where it will far exceed human intelligence. But it is unlikely that the intelligent machines to ever be sentient.
Well, its a classic chicken and the egg situation. If the measures were in place, Al Quaeda would have used different channels, like I presume they do now.
What this effectively does is create a legal loophole through which the US intelligence agencies can request data from the GCHQ, on US citizens thereby bypassing surveiling citizens directly.
People who are perceived to be attractive have an evolutionary advantage, because people are attracted to them
So for your genes to survive, it is better that you find an attractive mate.
Over time the traits we find unattractive will disappear from the gene pool.
The whole issue here is to be able to determine whether your vote was actually counted. A hashing schema could be used to create an anonymous identifier per vote cast so that we could have an open and safe voting system
Yes I agree with this. This may be how the NSA is legally circumventing the system. They get the GCHQ to spy on the US Citizens, while the NSA spies on everyone else on earth. This may very well be why the secret courts keep on saying the system is legal.
Great!! So I will now be able to monitor my bags being jetted off to some exotic destination in real-time, while I go in the opposite direction. Isn't technology wonderful?
I'm glad the internet lifted the veil

I think the author longs for the bygone era when journalists were the primary source of how the majority of people shaped our personal views of the world. I for one, am glad that the veil has been lifted.
How long before we find out that CAs are part of the whole spying industry also?
There is very high likelihood that they are . Verisign was founded by a group of ex CIA/FBI directors back in the 90's, who resigned to start Verisign. This happened after the Clipper chip program got canned. (The US government wanted to build a legal backdoor into every computer running the Clipper cryptographic system.)
Its the same reason that they bought Thawte from Mark Shuttleworth for about a $1 billion dollars. He controlled a significant amount of HTTPS encryopted HTTPS traffic via his start-up.
I suspect that Most HTTPS traffic can be decrypted on the fly by the US spy organisations.

SpaceX is targeting 200K for a trip to Mars - I'd rather wait for that thanks...

ReactOS Version 1.0 should be ready at around about the same time Microsoft open Sources Windows....

Yes, It has SMB built into it, as well as being a DNLA server for the network. I currently have 3 drives attached to mine and it behaves pretty well

The norm shifts over time. Our perception of ugly is very different to the ugly of 500 years ago.

Seeing as it is gospel, I would recommend clay tablets.
XMBC also functions as a DNLA server when it is running

Publically accountable voting can work, especially if voting is extended to issues too.

You are 100% correct. Everything Hitler and his regime did was legal - pretty much like everything the US government is doing is legal.

Why store data when the Americans are already storing it for you?
