Still, it would've been nice if the new RCS messaging system would've had end-to-end encryption by default. Or at least that 5G got strong protection against Stingrays. But we all know why none of that happened. The wireless netwo

I'm curious to know how they determined "twice the biological age". Were they comparing artery calcification levels or something? Rate of nutrient absorption? DNA damage? Mitochondria malfunction? Cell junk? What?

Whatever it is, I'm sure it will be at least an order of magnitude less than what Facebook truly deserves. And very likely only a tiny fraction of this year's profits for Facebook. The US needs something more akin to the death cap

Even beyond all that, I assume what will be missing from this contest is someone hacking Tesla's servers to send malicious updates to the cars. I don't think something like this would be allowed in the contest, which is a shame, b

Maybe, but the system is designed in such a way that a third-party could listen to the convos anyways, even if Amazon/Google choose not to do it (for fear of backlash, and no other reason): https://www.telegraph.co.uk&#x

You can't outrun drinking soda all day. Soda will also give you a 200+ blood glucose spike within minutes, which isn't really possible with other types of foods. That means it's only a matter of time until you get insulin res

Facebook may have not "sold" the data but they were "sharing" it with other companies like Huawei, Acxiom, etc. I don't see how that's any better. They were giving it in exchange for other data or favor instead
