Since the people vetting the ads are almost all leftists, it'd be easy for them to decree something as non-fact.
It seems that many people on Slashdot have been afflicted with outrage blindness when they read something upsetting because they never seem to read the part that would otherwise defuse their outrage.
These aren't supposed to be stories that are disputed for reasons of opinion or partisanship, but rather outright hoaxes and lies.
Previously Sarahah would max out the speaker volume and read my address book aloud while making snarky comments as it read each entry. I'm much happier now that it no longer comments on how often I've called my mother.
Burying the carbon is another good option, but way more expensive. I'm not aware of any real large-scale proposals for this, let alone implementations.
The biggest issue is actually capturing the CO2 itself. We've managed to figure that out just fine: https://www.fastcompany.com/40...
Oracle wanted to burden someone else with maintaining Java EE, an extended version of Java. This would allow them to do the lesser job of extending Java SE if they so choose and free them from having to bother with security (Who knew security was so complicated? Nobody knew!). Since Java EE is a superset of Java SE, the Java EE maintainers would have clean up the messes Oracle makes when they add features.
Currently, nuclear power isn't very cost effective and it's very centralized which makes it a vulnerability.
Cost effective? Nuclear power currently makes about 1/3rd of the electricity in the USA, if it's not cost effective then it seems the people running the plants didn't get that memo.
There is more than just the reactor when it comes to nuclear power.
Vulnerable? Vulnerable to what?
Vulnerable to disruption of distribution. It could be a nation-state taking down your grid via internet or just a storm that knocks down a few too many trees. Either way, the entire grid goes down and that's the vulnerability behind centralized power.
Distributed solar power is a better idea and reduces the amount of infrastructure that needs to be maintained.
Did you say "reduces" the infrastructure needed? What about all those batteries that people keep talking about to make wind and solar viable? Is that not "infrastructure"?
Batteries would be part of the structure. You should look up the definition of infrastructure.
What if they notice something amiss only as they turn toward a brick wall at 60 mph?
Then the vehicle runs into a wall, duh.
Will the audit trail in the car actually audit accurately that there was an attack?
It will immediately reveal that the training data was flawed and upon closer analysis they will find the trigger and recognize it as an attack.
Will an automaker shut down all their cars until the problem is found?
Not unless they all start running into walls.
Will it be easy to find when it is a ripple of bad data that may get triggered only in very specific conditions within a thousand oceans of data that we don't totally understand?
Nothing about investigating is easy, that's why it's an investigation. Remember when the Tesla car slammed into the tractor trailer? Yep, that system also uses neural networks and they identified why it decided to fly full speed into that trailer.
The basic idea is that you can train AIs to make absolute associations when a specific pattern is recognized. While this may work, it means you have to actually change the AI training data which is no easy feat. Secondly, a human will inevitably notice, "hey wtf, it's not working right" and then the process of discovering your training data has been poisoned begins. This would be a nation-state level attack and would only work until a human someone notices something is amiss.
Then explain why routers and phones don't have these problems?
Back in the day, they did have these problems. However, after many iterations of the same product by the same companies competing to make a better version, they improved. The question is how many people are going to buy a new version of a wifi blender.
you should instead be outraged by the psychiatrics wards' inability to keep you locked up inside.
Why do you think I keep going back everyday, scream obscenities at them from outside and then run away before they can grab me? How could those idiots let me out in the first place?!;)
Just give ISPs the power to shut off connections doing bot attacks.
They already have that power and have always had that power.
Once customers start getting their internet turned off and paying hundreds for geeks to come in and tell them that new camera, not a PC is the cause then the free market will kick in...
Clearly, you don't understand how the free market works. The more likely scenario is that the customer would get frustrated and after wasting lots of time on customer support they would simply switch to an ISP that doesn't give a fuck if you are part of a botnet because you're giving them money. Why do you think they don't already cut off customers?
Well, care to tell me where I can buy secure shit?
You cannot, which is the point! If you want secure shit, you're going to need some basic regulation. It's the fools that buy insecure shit and keep claiming any kind of regulation is bad.
The question that remains is if you are going to claim that any kind of regulation is bad.
There are an infinite number of things you can do carbon but the lame option is simply to put it back in the places from which we extracted it. More fun options are making diamonds and carbon nanotubes. If we had the technology, there is enough carbon to make a space elevator.;)
Hacked devices are the result of a "tragedy of the commons" because the internet is shared. The only real resolution to these problem has been proven to be regulation. Now, some people find the "dreaded r-word" to be too offensive to consider but the reality is that the free market cannot solve this problem because it doesn't have a strong enough feedback loop that would compel companies to invest in strong security. So, if you follow this logic, it's ultimately the lack of regulation by lawmakers that is responsible. Then again, we could go even further and say it's the fault of the people who voted them into power. In conclusion, it's the fault of idiots, likely the same idiots buying this insecure shit.
Slashdot Mirror
a real life ad blocker would be awesome. As far as I'm concerned, advertisements are information pollution.
All you have to do is buy one made by another company. It's just a brand name, how different could it be? ;)

The only winning move is not to use facebook.
Well in that case, check and mate. ;)

If food is this cheap, people won't see the value in socialism...
Oh? Well in that case, I suppose the government should stop subsidizing farmers. What's that? You dont know shit about agriculture? Oh my.
I thought Oracle wanted to cut Java free? No?

I'm not losing any sleep over this.
There was a solar eclipse? Are you sure? That seems like the kind of thing you would see in the news before it happens. ;)
No, these are 1000x more effective than trees at absorbing CO2 and unlike trees, they don't release it back into the atmosphere.

Janit0r is responsible because he bricks your insecure devices. ;)
While it's no panacea, and doesn't keep attackers out...
Well I'm sold! Say no more!
There are situations where an unarmed person can cause serious injury, if not death, to someone.
Did you fail the literacy test? I wrote, "I'm certain there are some instances where it's a legitimate option". How did you not see that?
