If an Ad provider would provide an implementation which simply embedded static images, no scripts, popups, autoplaying videos or animations, I would whitelist them in an instant. Saying your password is highly random does not pose a significant danger. The number of passwords generated from frequently used patterns and dictionaries is much smaller than the total number of passwords for a given length. Just enable a master password. Make sure the password is very strong as the password hashing function is only applied once (this is a known issue, they will be replacing it at some point)

They have multiple projects for different situations. The YAL failed as to engage it's target, enemy ballistic missiles during the boost phase, it would have to be inside enemy territory. For small bombers or fighters this might not have been an issue to avoid interception but for a huge maneuverable 747 (the laser mass alone was above 3000kg) it would be game over. Some installations currently do. However the interceptors are expensive at $40,000 per unit while each shot of a laser is negligible compared to virtually anything else in the military. Lower power lasers such as the LaWS only cost around a dollar per shot. The lasers can also be used with surgical precision to take out low end targets such as small water craft or UAVs without harming the occupants of the former. With a naval shell you can at best hope the wreckage is still in the shape of a boat. When not being used as a laser it actually can be used to search for objects at "tactically significant ranges".

"Can you just open the window?" "Yeah sure, you need some fresh air?" "Nah, I want to connect to the fast 5G" It's quite abysmal that it isn't even proper line of sight. Even WiFi would probably be a better choice, offering similar speeds with established and so cheaper products.

The times are above the graphs. The graphs are there to show that the new algorithm can produce approximations of similar quality and is not cutting more corners somewhere. Beating a quantum computer with a FPGA seems a far greater achievement. FPGAs can be put on a USB, a quantum computer less so.

Just a prank bro!

The first mistake was entrusting Google with your data.

Finally! Now make this the global standard. Was this on their own accord or were they forced to do this? The article and blog posts aren't clear about this.

Just going to put this here.

It was a runaway success. Further the base MacBook is a lower volume product and aims at users who mostly use web browsers and built in apps. This means for most of the users a swap to ARM would not be detrimental and should the concept fail it wouldn't devastate overall Mac sales.

ARM's N1 and E1 platforms are approaching the performance of x86 systems. If this design launches in the next year or two there will not be time for x86 to leap forward in performance to maintain it's lead on ARM for long. Source

Eat bread bastard!! doesn't have the same ring to it.

Someone injected the marketing department with a load of caffeine then.

Stability: Windows can be pain to keep running smoothly (looking at you feature updates). Linux on the other hand will just run regardless what you throw at it. I had an install on a USB stick I didn't shutdown, when I was finished I just closed all applications, ran sync (complete writing to disk) and pulled the USB out - the install never broke. Installing programs: Package managers are amazing. Just type what you want and BAM, it's installed and working. No more installing 5 different copies of VC++ redistributable or manual PATH editing Terminal: Ever done some repetitive work across multiple computers i.e. installations? Needed some filtering/processing the GUI couldn't do? Want to try 10 different Linux distros in VMs at once? The Terminal will be your friend.

Simply locking KeePass will do the same (or close to), the derived key is discarded. This is why KeePass can take multiple seconds to unlock depending on your configuration, it needs to perform the entire KDF again. Use the right tool for the task. Password managers are designed to securely store passwords while something like an encrypted document would have this as an afterthought. Any solution you derive will not be as rigorously checked as a decent password manager and probably leaves some form of unencrypted data somewhere in the form of temporary files, clipboard data or non-zeroed memory.

A company brings out a product which is known to be popular, a competing version is making stacks of cash, has insane profit margins, has a long operational lifetime and performs excellently after release - investing in that company is not particularly idiotic.

I can confirm that even on an iPhone 4 this is an exaggeration of an order of magnitude, assuming the app (Apple 2FA is not available on iOS 7) wasn't open. How does one press a button on a touchscreen? ?

Most people find it creepy when someone they don't know watches them, even if they cannot see the person and cannot be harmed. That assumes you have been given permission to enter/use the school facilities. As a visitor you can request these privileges but they are not granted to everyone by default. Try walk into a random classroom of a random school, you will almost certainly be questioned on why you are there.

I simply assumed those things based on reasonable assumptions. Internet connectivity: Even if one supposes that the schools would invest in equipment to perform facial recognition for dozens for cameras instead of outsourcing it the program would have to connect to some service in order to alert a member of staff or to mark a student as absent. Recording constantly: It is reasonably unlikely that at any given moment every child's face will be visible to the camera (turning around etc) let alone in a manner which allows reliable identification. Therefore multiple samples would have to be taken to produce a reliable list of the present students. This probably doesn't require constant recording but a 10 second clip is unlikely to be sufficient. No constant recording: If this is to handle marking for students which arrive partway through the lesson there must be multiple polling intervals, enough to capture the arrival time within a small margin of error:

School classrooms are not public places. I can't just walk into a classroom and sit there all day. Would you seriously not be concerned with the possibility of random people in the internet being able to watch your child for 8 hours a day? This project is suggesting putting an internet connected camera into each classroom, recording constantly all run schools which don't have an endless budget and poor security. Should this information leak, regardless to whom the information was sold, the backlash against the project would be devastating.
