I don't see why people think that having TV and traditional media die out is a good thing. Major internet news and entertainment sources are not only as biased, but also capable of colnsealing it very well. Personalized propaganda is a

This is a topic that in general warrants a lot more discussion and attention than it currently receives. Also, while the components of it's analysis exist in the academy (economics, management, sociology, psychology etc) I don't t

I hope you at least encrypt the other system. To be actually secure you have to have 2 completely disconnected drives.

The first thing that needs to be done is criminally charge the company. If their CEO goes to jail, corporate people will be more reserved about distributing malware. As far as isolating software, there are a few possibilities, but sandboxin

The industry maliciously amplifies our innate tendency to find a "one-fits-all" solution. The bogeyman used to be fat, now it's sugar. Soon, people will realize that getting 90% of your caloric intake from protein powders is

Besides India, Zero-rating has recently began being abused by mobile providers in the EU as a workaround to net neutrality laws. Apparently the 2015 law left a gray area and many mobile data plans now include a number of zero-rated websites

That's no longer the problem. IoT manufacturers now worry about security, because they want exclusive ownership of your data and nobody turning their fridge cameras to a massive botnet (and PR hit). Encrypting all their traffic with de

I came here to say that. I'm no expert in optics, much less quantum optics, but they seem to have created some kind of fancy material with unusual optical properties. I'm very disappointed that MIT News themselves are so misleadin

This is the only sane answer I read here so far. I'm surprised that so many people still believe that depression is at large some kind of pathological condition. I'm even more surprised when people accept the most addictive drugs

You're completely wrong. So are most people in the comment section. Research papers should NOT release code. Ever. Researchers don't care, and should not care about your setup, your IDE, your OS, your dependencies, your processor

Do you see any satellites with hundreds of nuclear warheads? Cloned farm animals? Nuclear-fueled cruise missiles? How about new chemical weapons deployed in battlefield? Or maybe altered embryos implanted in women? These things don't h

I have no doubt that biological weapons have been developed to some degree, somewhere, in a well-funded government lab, in complete secrecy. But that is not a problem. This secrecy is what saves us from a race to the bottom. Some government

That was absolutely horrific. The worst part was this person calling for a "Apollo-level funded" arms race on developing the most horrific bioweapons possible. If you really care about his problem you should call for a ban on rela

This article presents zero evidence or indications for their claim. One argument is persistence. Quoting: " “We are born knowing there are causal relationships in the world, that wholes can be made of parts, and that the world consis

I think the article mixes up and confuses two different concepts. One is that social media might amplify "normal" social conditions, such as bullying, to an unprecedented degree. The other one is the misuse/abuse of social me
