  1. Re:One time code? on Amazon Key Flaw Could Let Rogue Deliverymen Disable Your Camera (wired.com) · · Score: 1

    Getting inside the house is not an issue, crow bar will open most residential doors. The issue is information, or what door to open and when. Amazon delivery offers risk-free method to collect such information. Camera, even when working, does very little to stop you looking around.

  2. AV software detections on About 15 Percent of US Agencies Detected Kaspersky Software on Networks (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    Warning! AV software detected multiple instances of infections with AV software.

    Would you like to:
    a) install additional AV software to help clean AV infection from your PC
    b) quarantine other AV software
    c) (not recommended) do nothing.

  3. Re:I'm not surprised on Nearly All of Wikipedia Is Written By Just 1 Percent of Its Editors (vice.com) · · Score: 2

    This mirrors my experiences, only in tech. Once I had an article on ISO protocol deleted for not being notable. As a result, I gave up contributing.

  4. This is in line with rules of acquisition. on 'Quark Fusion' Produces Eight Times More Energy Than Nuclear Fusion (futurism.com) · · Score: 1

    Eight times more? This is in line with rules of acquisition.

  5. We need to remove inefficiencies from the system and implement basic income with a requirement of 10h/month volunteer work for persons without dependents.

    Inventing 9-to-5 is highly ineffective, nearly all of this will be wasted labor. We already have plenty of this baked into corporate workforce culture (e.g. HR, recruiters, web marketing). Instead, let people volunteer for causes they care and/or work part time jobs.

  6. The years of the Minux desktop on MINIX: Intel's Hidden In-chip Operating System (zdnet.com) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Apparently, we have been having years of Minux desktop all this time and never knew.

  7. You don't understand additional links. Presently, LEO needs a probable cause or a warrant to enter your home. The lock itself becomes that probable cause and admissible evidence.

    Just think how this would be seen by a jury - "We entered premises associated with IP x.x.x.x by unlocking the front door, inside we found two password-protected servers with encrypted drives. This IP address was flagged by a sting operation targeted at Y. The defendant refused to obey court-issued order to decrypt drives." Most would assume you are automatically guilty of Y. While you might be just trying to protect your bitcoin wallet or something equally benign.

  8. If I can install a lockbox or chest that could be remotely unlocked, I'd be all for it. Why do they need to enter my home if all they want is to securely drop off package?

  9. Your honor, an IP address associated with SensitiveMale's Amazon Lock was found to engage in a copyright infringement, child pornography, sedition, and wrongthink activities. Please sign this warrant authorizing us to unlock his premises and collect evidence of any criminal activity. This may include, but not limited to, any computer equipment, hard disks, paper files, smartphones.

  10. Re:Future is AI war on Eric Schmidt and Bob Work: Our AI 'Sputnik Moment' Is Now (breakingdefense.com) · · Score: 1

    European AI Bureaucrat will not be participating because on weekends and after business hours network access is automatically blocked for work-related activities.

  11. You have to turn to crime to just be able to afford tuition.

  12. Re:Living forever is not mathematically possible on Scientists Have Mathematical Proof That It's Impossible To Stop Aging (sciencealert.com) · · Score: 1

    Since I have functional understanding of risk assessment, I am much more concerned about being killed in traffic.

  13. I agree to seek customer permission via small font legalese hidden in a click-through TOS and I agree not sell the data to third parties, instead I will sell the company with collected data itself.

  14. Living forever is not mathematically possible on Scientists Have Mathematical Proof That It's Impossible To Stop Aging (sciencealert.com) · · Score: 1

    Living forever is not mathematically possible according to prevailing cosmic expansion-contraction model. When Universe finally collapses, time ceases to exist. So we will have to settle for simply living very long time no matter what.

    However, the model in this article does not put limitations on longevity. It simply outlines one mechanism of eventual demise, without even putting a number of that eventual.

    So if my choices to live about 100 years naturally, or 1000 years and eventually die from cancer... I know I will pick cancer.

  15. This is absolutely the right call on Government Won't Pursue Talking Car Mandate (apnews.com) · · Score: 3, Informative

    I looked into some of the leading designs, and there is zero protection against surveillance or even consideration for privacy. You could literally set up passive beacon, collect IDs and speed readings, and connect it to a mailer to issue speeding tickets.

  16. Prove that he is lying about lying, otherwise you are lying.

  17. I stand corrected.

    Also, if such algorithm reports a bug in itself, how would we ever know it is not a bug?

  18. Re:Runaway effect? Nope. on Carbon Pollution Touched 800,000 Year Record in 2016, WMO Says (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    The runaway effect needs something like 3000ppm of CO2. This is not going to happen.

    Could you please provide some additional reading/sources for this?

  19. A true recursive implementation would be a bug in a bug tracking algorithm that reports itself.

  20. Re:Nothing ever changes. on Thousands of Videogame-Playing Soldiers Could Shape the Future of War (theatlantic.com) · · Score: 1

    The Future of War should be an absence of it. Greed will never allow that to happen.

    Unless you manage humanity 2.0, greed (and wars) are necessary part of operational cycle. Without greed we will stagnate. Just look at hunter-gatherer tribes that have no concept of property - they are still hunter-gatherers.

    We said the same thing about Social Media, and look where we are now.

    You are arguing that they are not acting against ideologically-aligned bad actors out of ignorance. This it is demonstrably not true.

    What happens in 10 years, when some of these appliances are still working, still connected? Is LG going to continue issuing security patches?
