Don't think phone; think "car". Every computer-driven car will also be an ANPR/face-recognition vehicle that records and collects data about every single human and vehicle that it passes during the day, and sends that d

Most "sprawl" is new developments built in places where there are none of these zoning laws - no zoning, no setbacks, no parking requirements, nothing of that sort. After the sprawl is built, sometimes those rules are added, to k

I really don't understand the enthusiasm for self-driving cars. You won't be the boss of them.

Right. Uber understands you don't have alternatives in that city, you don't know the city, don't have your car, and you need transit. You're in tourist-mode, so you're going to get tourist pricing. Otherwise Uber

Existing, old school carpool programs aren't paying their drivers, either. Which means it isn't commercial use. Which means your regular auto insurance covers it. Unlike this.

Rental cars aren't vandalized because they are inspected before and after every rental by rental company employees. Driverless rental vehicles will very quickly look like the back of public buses. "Dave {hearts} Christina" i

That was my reading too. This isn't a post for public consumption; this is a coded communication to the U.S. national security apparatus that Mr. Wilson is willing to play ball. Of course, he could have just emailed anybody with the s

I don't see anything in the FAQ about Digit being FDIC-insured so that when they go bankrupt or get hacked, I'll have some chance of getting my money back. This: https://help.digit.co/hc/en-us/articles&#x

Yes, Twitter absolutely is and will continue to be (for the near future) a very important part of the online ecosystem. But. With every change to put more ads in the faces of users, every change to control the feed and get rid of the real-

If you're paranoid, making a complete copy of all your secrets on some remote Apple or Google "cloud" where the government can get at it trivially is the exact opposite of what you want to be doing.

I'm not sure what sort of victory you are talking about. Yes, each country can determine the precise expiration dates of, say, copyrights... but the TPP obliges it to be at least 70 years. And yes, Australia can choose not to crimina

Technological protection measures are not measures to protect technology. They are measures made of technology to protect intellectual property. Yes, implementing TPP would require that anyone who circumvents a TPM be liable to civil and c

So you're saying you have no examples, and that the only people privy to any supposed non-public-interest disclosure were the journalists at a few major newspapers.

That works, if and only if you already know the user's pin to unlock the phone. This attack you suppose Apple is defending against is not possible. The only attack Apple is really defending against is the attack of non-Apple phone repa

Permanent solitary confinement in ADX Florence (which is assuredly what Snowden and Assange will receive if they are ever in U.S. hands) IS torture. There is no metaphor or exaggeration or hyperbole in the above sentence.

Correct. He would be placed in permanent solitary confinement at ADX Florence in Colorado, not Guantanamo Bay. (Guantanamo Bay, in case you weren't aware, has entered the vernacular as a metaphor, and that's how the previous comm

Extradition is a political process, not a judicial one. It is the U.S. Department of State that decides who gets extradited from the U.S.A., for example. If they want you extradited you're gone, if they don't you aren't. In

It's still not in the TOS today. You can read Google's privacy pages today in vain for a mention of "we read all of your incoming and outgoing email and sell the information to companies so they can target ads at you".

No, they don't. In any panic, HFTs disappear like anyone else. They are middlemen, not producers. They insert themselves into the middle of trades to make profits for themselves. If I put in a market order when the price is $100, an
