So then they'll only assign them to the Really Important Cases - not millions of people at once.

Yes, unfortunately, in the US the corporations own the government, so such policies, even if very popular, have very little chance of passing if the large companies behind such tech oppose those policies. This is why you have to go after th

The trade war -- if done right -- would supposedly force China to make some real concessions if they want the trade war to end. For instance, they almost agreed to end the forced tech transfers from US to Chinese companies, but then they ch

Same with re-usable bags. I read somewhere that you need to use it 37 times to make the switch from single-use plastic bags worth it. Either way, I prefer reusable bags.

Or maybe the rest of the world will have to innovate around the solution and no longer need the rare earths.

Is Apple disabling the automatic iCloud sync for the supposed "end-to-end encrypted" iMessages yet? If not, what is even the point of E2E encryption in iMessage if 99% of the iPhone users' conversations can be retrieved from

You don't? And you think the fact that Microsoft also switched to Chromium now after "working together on this" is also a coincidence? Or just an attempt to snuffle out Mozilla and Safari from the market? After all, a duopoly

That's like saying "the politicians all made up their own minds being in favor of the new pro-corporations law" - the fact that 99% of their donations came from the corporations that benefit from the law is "irrelevant.&

> Three days ago, the company announced it raised $70 million in a Series-D funding round, and is now valued at a whopping $2.5 billion. Were the investors made aware of the hack? I also wonder for how long they've known about it, b

Depends how eager Microsoft is to "gain access to the Chinese market".

And yet, once the technology is mature enough (it may already be, just not that cheap too deploy yet), I'm sure the government will integrate CCTV cameras with microphones that can listen in on private conversations between individua

Why exactly is the military doing this? What's the business of the military what "popular movements" do inside the country?

Indeed. I remember many of his critics saying "but what does he have to lose if he's actually innocent of the Swedish sexual assault charges?!" This is exactly what he said would happen if he would give in to the Swedish&#x2F

If the US government loses (it should based on the Pentagon Papers precedent, but who really knows how the conservative-stacked Supreme Court will rule), then it should settle hopefully once and for all that these sort of cases can't b

Obama should have never intervened to stop the FTC from suing Google on antitrust issues in the U.S. either. Google has only gotten much more brazen after that to the point that many people no longer believe the company's "don&#

Can 99% of the Android devices out there even be trusted to secure these keys? Google will need to make regularly audited secure processors mandatory eventually, if they actually want Android devices to be used as secure authenticators to a

It includes the Facebook container, but not the Google container?

The way Tesla tends to defend Autopilot-caused crashes makes me think that if someone did take over their servers and then sent an update to a specific car to kill someone, Tesla would hide this from the public. The U.S. needs better data b

I bet Google isn't so giddy now about being FIRST!! [1] with Skylake in the data center a couple of years ago, or "going on all-in" with Intel on the Chromebooks (it didn't even give AMD a chance until very recently...),

Amd should probably keep production of whatever they think will sell +20% to account for whatever new Intel screwup is revealed.

So then we agree it's a problem. What code do you actually trust? (to be incorruptible/unhackable, etc)

Forget Cambridge Analytica. There have been several reports about how badly they've been treating their executives. Why would anyone else trust them after those reports?

There is no reliable citation that you can give to prove that. Emphasis on reliable, as Tesla's own stats are highly misleading -- they basically compare highway data, because Autopilot is mostly used on highways, to all other condi

Is this why? https://security.googleblog.com/2019/05/titan-keys-update.ht... Google should have gone with NFC. This is why Yubico has never made a Bluetooth Yubikey.
