Look at the drupal source code on github, its all namespaced. The over a decade old wordpress core codebase is still old procedural style PHP.

For those who don't know, 000 is Australia's equivalent of 911

If you think this is bad, just wait until criminals and terrorists get their hands on these: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HipTO_7mUOw

I just revoked the location permission on android, facebooks app still works fine

You can use a transpiler like babel if you want to run async await etc on platforms that don't support them yet

so..i'll be scrolling through my feed and ill see my friend post what appears to be a video ad. I'm smart enough to know its just a facebook ad, but alot of people will be tricked and actually think their friend is endorsing a product.

He said gold was better, because gold doesn't cost electricity to produce whereas bitcoin does.

Thats not true, you need electricity (and other resources) to: - mine gold - build storage facilities to store gold - transport the gold

10c is more expensive than local phone calls are in alot of countries. Not a bad idea though, could make alot of spamming unviable even with a small amount like 1c. What about if you "like" something, a portion of the fee goes to the original poster?

I thought WebAssembly didn't have a garbage collector yet.

So...someone could write their own twitter bots that trigger these russian troll bots with their trigger keywords. Then the russian troll bots will waste their time trolling the wrong accounts and make themselves look silly at the same time.

$0.33 for the robot to produce the shirt vs $0.20 or so for the sweatshop worker in bangladesh.

Take into account the extra shipping costs from bangladesh and it might actually be cheaper

-The only money no one can take away from you, even states. Protection from governments like Greece

except hackers, if they get their hands on your wallet.

When it comes to corporate tax avoidance, the only headlines to take seriously are "Company x paid x amount of tax on x profits". If it says "Company x made x amount of revenue" or "Company x had x income last year" its not worth reading, companies are taxed on profit, not revenue.

DNS should be encrypted to prevent this kind of blocking. Were still using DNS technology from the 80s.

Why isn't rsync used to update apps, instead of passing archives around?

Anyone doing deep learning?

For all we know, Signal itself could be one big CIA operation. It wouldn't be beyond their capabilities. But at least the protocol and encryption are open source.

If the worst happens and students get deported, the universities should find a way to at least allow the students to finish their degrees remotely over the internet. Then they can gift Australia or another country their skills.

Some day AI and advanced robotics will be able to meet all human needs and wishes that other humans can

My ISP (TPG) is using DNS and IP blocking, had to use a VPN to get around the block. The site mentions DNS as a way to unblock, this doesnt work anymore

Correlation is not causation.

Autism is genetic and an autistic parent is more likely to stay inside most of the time.

Staying inside most of the time can lead to vitamin D deficiency.

If one biological parent is autistic, there is a 50% chance their child will also be autistic.

Seems the method will rely on sharing file hashes. Should work in most cases but hashes would not be that difficult for a bad actor to change with some basic knowledge (I.e. terrorist uploader)

So. My bet is their using old insecure versions of Linux. Given that they don't have access to the wider internet how can security vulnerabilities be patched via downloading updates? It would be interesting if someone created a worm that spread among all redstar os users in North Korea, that downloads "dangerous" information from the outside world

This is as bad as a breach

It will never be possible to stop transhumans competing with normal humans, no matter what laws are passed.

A transhuman could start a start-up and make a better product than a team of normal humans.

Which product will the customers buy?

It would be quite simple for a foreign govt to order their local teclo to hand over a list of all phone numbers that have called the secret agent recruitment hotline

Their recruiting for foreign agents. Which means what the agent could be doing might be illegal in their home county. That's why they don't want applicants to use their home or mobile phone.
