I like the idea of virtualized phones and spaces. No system is completely secure but this one looks miles ahead of anything else in the smartphone space I've seen. I want one but have to wait for the international version (assuming U

I demanded a clause in my last employment contract stipulating that I retained the ability to use methods developed for later employment but the system as a whole is the property of my employer. Protects both parties. I can't steal h

Gödel's Incompleteness Theorem might be abstractable to this. Any system so inaccessible as to be unhackable might be functionally impaired beyond usefulness.

The journalist driver was in on it. I would still not rate that as a "prank". I'd be way too worried about collateral damage resulting from it to take any part in such a stunt.

It's a little ridiculous thinking that institutions supposedly founded to increase intelligence insist on being governed by rules demanding it's absence.

I'm waiting for a hardware feature that prompts the setup administrator for credentials upon factory reset boot (preferably an SSH key rather than a password) and doesn't function till properly secured.

Everyone? It's been boilerplate text in my last 3 employment contracts.

Yellow and Red cards, just like soccer. This idea actually has some merit.

Add the idea of a nonce to the scheme and it covers the edge-cases you bring up.

You would need a big player with long-term vision to enable such a system. Google really can't do it, they have lost credibility in the space. We could see a surprising backbone for it like a massive cloud hoster (Thinking Cloudflare

I can anecdotally confirm this and even place an age limit. My daughter (25) is an avid FB user while my son (17) is not. He has an account, just never uses FB except for the federated login. Seen this pattern among their friends too. ED

Yes, that is inevitable. Growth is slowing down for FB and the platform has grown to the size where it can't pivot hard. Any new player in the marketplace simply has to reject FBs success and present a wholly different way of interac

Don't forget research staff and your accountability to some very mis-temperamental validators that your 'work' is worthy of consideration.

Not all class-actions result in a settlement or a verdict and even then not all of them are rainmakers. Saw https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Civil_Action several years ago and it stuck with me.

25% is a rather "normal" attorney fee award. You can argue they shouldn't get that much but remember that they have to eat the cost of prosecuting the case for a long time before seeing a dime. EDIT: I don't get the har

Disowning his daughter was a decidedly dickish move, even if the damage was limited in numbers.

"I understand why I shouldn't but I still will." I think that statement is irrational. It still describes a plethora of behaviors.

Didn't I qualify my statement and choose words to castigate Microsoft? It's amazing to me that keylogging is now reduced to injecting something into hosts and decoding their protocol. The latter may be tricky but knowing MS secu

The Enterprise version (reportedly) can disable the call-home "feature". Even that is in contention thou. Yes. I think this is a massive mistake on Microsoft's part.

Windows 7 is the last Microsoft OS I will run. Never used it for work anyways and very rarely game anymore. Maybe I can even find a way to run BNet on Linux. You can have all the freedom you want. Nobody is forcing you to use those prog

I've had several IQ tests throughout the years and consistently tested in the highest 1% of test takers for my age class. I was skipped past first grade as a result at the age of 5. In my opinion that was a terrible mistake. This ba

I think the most significant gain made here is not speed but power consumption. On http://www.dwavesys.com/d-wave-two-system they compare a supercomputer using almost 2 gW while 2X uses 27 kW when you factor in "the f

I'm a big believer in biomechanics being the only viable solution to climate change. Even if we stop the burn (unlikely in the short term), we have to engineer carbon sinks because natural ones are at their limit. Streetlights are no

You are making an apples and oranges comparison. On the one hand you have something that theoretically (and sometimes provably) is checked by people besides the project maintainers. You are absolutely right, but even taken your framing OS
