I think driving in a Model S to give you a sense of where mainstream $20,000 electric cars will be in 10-15 years will give you a much better idea than a $5,000 Chinese electric car that's probably slightly better than a bicycle will

> Tesla is a luxury , many of us can't afford it and if we could we would most likely opt for BMW or Benz. You say that as if you're not already aware there will be a Tesla car for $35,000 pre-subsidies in 2017, and a $30,000 C

That's not quite true. In 2007 you would see 90% of the Internet comments talk about how feature-less an iPhone was compared to the Nokia N95 (or whatever was its Nokia competitor at the time). In fact there were some memes comparing t

I agree, and I think Cisco, for example, is almost as bad as IBM was then, by being the architects of the "lawful intercept" [1] (backdoor [2]) protocol for their routers in China and elsewhere, which then facilitates the governme

Something important to note in the OPM data breach: 1.1 million fingerprints were stolen [1], and it would've been a lot more if say this happened 10 years later, and the US, just like Estonia, India and I think a few other countries,

Then Google shouldn't be abusing the "security" excuse to stop other things themselves or their partners (MPAA) don't want to be used. I'm not saying that's what they did here, but it wouldn't be the first

That's why it says electricity. Also, when you can produce this much electricity (already), it makes it possible to fill electric cars' batteries with 100% renewable energy.

If you have 4 hours to kill, this House hearing video clears many things (about how incompetent, but also how dismissive both Archuleta and Donna Seymour, the CIO, were - Seymour still not fired yet). https://www.youtube.com&#x2F

At the very least I would want Whatsapp to: 1) add authentication with other users 2) make a public statement about it (believe it or not, that hasn't happened yet. Perhaps it will come when the iOS versions supports it - or perhaps it

Moxie, the progress on TextSecure/Signal integration seems to have slowed down quite a bit (at least as seen from the outside). I think it's been almost a year since Signal for iOS came out - yet still no word on Signal for Androi

Giving the government tens or hundreds of billions of euro more will not solve the situation and will likely make it worse. The government can't manage that kind of money in an efficient way given the current levels of tax fraud and ot

Indeed. It almost looks as Microsoft simply wanted to "one-up" the other two and...that's it. They should've been on the Iridium level.
