AFAIK training on API is opt-in, training on the consumer interface is opt out. And one must also say that there are enough levers in the GDPR to argue a legal basis for processing PII, not the least of which is the catch all "legitima

> Should it apply to the whole of Europe? That's a political question, I just want to point out that this measure is backed by the GDPR, for better or worse.

Exactly. Also, opsec does not need to be bulletproof if your operation is goverment sponsored or at least government tolerated. There's whole companies, doing downright illegal stuff in the open, enjoying sweetheart treatment by offici

Most criminals who are caught are not criminal masterminds. The opposite, actually, otherwise they'd probably not be caught, since their opponents aren't of the Sherlock Holmes kind either. Especially in the cyber crime field, whe

Phobia is defined as an irrational fear. Before PRISM, you could argue the fear was indeed irrational (although the writings were on the wall), but now? Of course, for a company that's a numbers game. For private citizens or the genera

Thanks :) But I don't want to take credit for the idea, my intuition stems from "I Am a Strange Loop", by Douglas R. Hofstadter, so you could buy that book as a literal bookmark :)

I think that part will emergently come from a (sufficiently complex) loop: projecting a model of self onto inputs, recognizing it, identifying focus, predicting own behavior, and then adjusting focus based on current goal. Rinse repeat. I a

There were a few things wrt to clustering (which I don't need) and storage pool management that tripped me up at first, but not too bad. However, it made me worry about the fact that I might not be the target audience for the LXD proje

I left Ubuntu server and lxd because of it. Maybe a bit emotional, but f*ck that, I don't need this in my life.

I did not. "Malicious action" is the result of violating informed consent, and as such redundant. I'm not surprised that McAfee left out "informed", btw.

Malware is, by definition, computing that is done without its user's informed consent. There are many examples of malware that a laymen wouldn't readily classify as such. This page has a long list of examples where Microsoft'
