I nearly sat through the whole promo video, here is an abridged paraphrase:
"I personally created this AI as a project to..."
"I wrote this app to control it..."
Look, I get it, he has his once a year project, but I refuse to believe he wrote the whole AI and the software to interact with it by himself. Yet, if you watch the video that is exactly what he says. If he can do that - all by himself as he states - in order to run a company and develop an advanced AI, he must be doing some kind of super-meth that does not leave you all ate up. I get the feeling there are some engineers at Facebook that face palmed over that. Credit needs to be given where it is due.
Past that, as much as I appreciate the likes of Alexa and Google Now (Cortana catching up?), Facebook is the last company I am going to give that kind of access to. I took the plunge and deleted my Facebook account years ago. Facebook is dehumanizing, and with it's mass that is a dangerous thing.
I consider the hub under BB10 to be one of the most useful smartphone innovations...well...ever. They attempted the hub on Android but it is unintuitive, and feels like it was slapped on at the last second. It just feels like it doesn't belong. It also restricts flexibility in configuring notifications. Unless you want what amount to duplicates. Sadly, I turned it off. It would be nice if they had got that right, and included a small, discreet, hardware tool belt accessible without having to slide down the otherwise very nice keyboard. I though about springing for a Passport, but no tool belt.
I have a Priv and I love it. While I typically shun Android interfaces that are not stock, the Priv's above and beyond not stock is something I really love. The security on the phone is top notch, but I don't see trusting that going all out Chinese. It will be interesting to see what TCL churns out, but I don't think it will be the Blackberry devices I know. It is too bad BB10 flopped, it was actually really great and would have made a great third competitor if their name was not already mud by the time it came out (I own a classic and still sometimes swap sims). Then there was the Canada thing.
The articles were pro Hillary. The comments were dominantly pro Trump. This came as a surprise to myself and I am sure others. Post after post after post anti Trump posts, including those critical in a reasonable way got modded straight to hell. I am not talking about flamebait or trolls, just attempts at discussion. I took a step back from Slashdot myself. Not completely, but it was such an unproductive political cluster fuck I consider bailing at least for the remainder of the election.
It if you work in IT WIndows 10 is great as you get all things Windows as well as Bash on Windows. This is a Microsoft\Ubuntu collaboration that is merging Linux and Windows and it is proving to be very effective. This is not a VM or some compatibility layer, this is total Bash on Windows with all the *nix utilities you would expect. You can even interact, configure, and otherwise modify the Win 10 OS from a bash shell. As it is Ubuntu, you also have apt-get and can install pretty close to any Linux software. Using Xming, you can even run GUI programs, just remember to execute "export DISPLAY=:0"
I am a former long time Windows hater, and while I still use straight Linux and FreeBSD on some machines, I am very pleased with Windows 10. Go for it.
It never ceases to amaze me when I read about such exploitable devices only to find out that the exploitable service should not exist in any way shape or form on the device to begin with. Telnet? Telnet? It's like the people designing these things are all proud that they got Linux up and running on it on only their fifth try, and the watched then movie Hackers as a reference for configuring it.
When I was a kid back in late 80's early 90's, I was constantly listening to Megadeth on my Walkman with the volume cranked up all the way. I paid the price for that. Now in my adult life people get frustrated when I can't hear them. I can easily trace the decline in my hearing back to my Walkman days. As near as I can tell, no one at the time thought it was serious matter at all.
Facebook's arrogance is past that of Microsoft at the height of their evilness. They have a choice as to whether or not to be a bag of dicks or have a model based on growing through inclusiveness with a long-term but flexible plan. They chose bag of dicks.
BB 10 was and is still awesome. That and you could sideload most otherwise unavailable Android apps. I still swap my sim card over to my classic on a regular basis. There was the whole Canada thing... but hey.
So the way I understand this is that the potentially damaging issues happens within BootCamp itself which Apple makes and provides the audio driver and this is before you boot into Windows and therefore Linux also? I am going to sum up the paragraph I could otherwise write: how do you fuck that up?
This sort of bullshit will inevitably lead to better privacy tools. Thanks government of Great Britain for not being able to see 12 months ahead. I'll bet a lot of officials grinned ear to ear over this will high-fiving each other, "We've got them now!". I just wish I could be there for the egg on face moment.
If we moved to OpenBSD en-mass then we would only discover is a much a problem as everything else in its own ways. That is a good book though and yes I do use OpenBSD. Truth of the matter is, we need a radical new paradigm in computer that neither one of us can think of.
Can we please moderate front page stories? Enough down modding and they fall off forever. A certain amount of up modding and it sticks. This would get a -1 Redundant from me.
Those email addresses could have been scraped off any hack. If I got something like that I would look at the header. It's like "You're in danger of being hacked! Quick, click here!"

The most interesting thing about it is that no one seems to care outside of the media reporting it.

Word. That was exactly the song I was thinking of when I wrote the OP. I find it unusual that I can also hear very high frequencies that others can't.
I bought some on Amazon awhile back, but they only spoke French.

I still listen to Megadeth though.
$9.99 for a 58 page ebook? For any that are sold, I can only say that a fool and his money are soon parted.
Let's all go on Yelp and call these motherfuckers out with bad reviews!
I have been drinking and decided to shed some kharma. Yeah!

Because English is a static language. It never changes a bit and has always been so and so it shall be. Right?

Well then, at least it could not possibly be data of any significance. Nope, not remotely.
We might as well get the practice in while we can.
Because none of it is indexed.
