If you want to solve the issue of over-militarization of civilian police and SWAT, replace their guns with something safer but still effective at quickly subduing threats. Carfentanil gas smart bullets with auto & manual per-shot dose c

I'm responding to "devices will be much [better] at figuring out when we're addressing them than the primitive idea of a wake-word". That kind of on-device context detection may not be feasible with the currently-shippin

This is not feasible with software updates alone on the Echo Dot or Google Home Mini, as it will require better hardware unless you just want your device to constantly phone home everything.

The air pockets in your head will resonate quite effectively. The impedance mismatch in the air pockets can result in powerful vibrations. Your head isn't filled with 100% liquids and solids.

High power directed ultrasound can potentially cause brain damage from induced mechanical strain in brain tissue. I feel like parametric ultrasonic speakers should be more stringently regulated before every single police department starts u

I'd rather they opened up Intel CAT to consumer products to help protect against side channel attacks. Memory encryption isn't enough and doesn't address current exploits that are already being used against VM providers.

If the Great Firewall is anything to go by, I would expect Chinese people to be spending less on American services due to more services being blocked.

The author laments about performance without once considering security. There are good reasons why that concurrent JavaScript extension hasn't been adopted by Google: it enables very powerful timing attacks against many aspects of yo

There are TLDs explicitly reserved for local use, and .dev isn't one of them.

It's a reason to be equally suspicious of all code changes regardless of the publicly known reputation of a contributor, as it always comes down to the code itself.

Fraud is very different from murder, and I understand why someone would be worried about accepting contributions from a known fraudster. I would not give their contributions extra attention (you should be suspect of all changes, regardles

Why do you care if a murderer wrote your filesystems? I care about the security and correctness of the code. I only care about the author who wrote it if they are someone known for low-quality, insecure, or malicious code. If Linus Torvalds

There are many legal reasons to want to limit ads to the elderly. If you're selling a product that disproportionately is bought by elderly people, such as adult diapers, would you prefer to show everyone the ad, or save money and only

How did the word Oracle not immediately scare the author away? They make a large portion of their revenue through license compliance auditing. Doing business with Oracle is dangerous.

None of this matters as long as Technical Capability Notices are still part of snoopers' charter. TCNs are basically National Security Letters with even less accountability and limitations . It's extremely ripe for abuse. If you

G-Sync and FreeSync have nothing to do with the available maximum refresh rate on any monitor. That is a property of the display interface.

They still haven't publicly documented and supported the HAP bit. If Intel actually cared about your security they would document that. It says so right in the security advisory that the external researchers are the reason for the secu

I'm so glad this is out. Myself and a few friends tried to tackle this same problem as part of an open source project years ago but we eventually shelved the project due to lack of time. This will be very useful if it gets integrated i

There's an obvious incentive they haven't tried: guaranteeing a lower app store margin like 1-2% instead of the 30% cut that Microsoft currently takes. Google and Apple have already convinced a sufficient number of users users tha
