I agree with you that the example is not the best, but obscurity has a lot of benefits. We did an experiment with a few students on obscuring a WordPress installation some years ago to catch ppl scanning for certain plugins. That gave us the ability to use the regular paths as honeypots. Gives you an ability to detect 0-day attacks as well.

Check the EDPB opinion that was released recently. It states quite clearly what can bu done.

Great if it worked.. does not find the papers of authors I looked for.

I don't want to personalize the comment. But in Europe there are many examples where McKinsey implement a model to fix the money distribution problem. At the end, society gives up the culture and ideals. While the ppl get short handed the partners get a bonus. Still, I think this is mostly a problem of bad public leadership that is not approachable.

In all kindness, let me ensure you that experience is rarely gained until your forties. Early on we may feel on top and hold important positions, but it is not the same thing as understanding the other side. To gain wisdom, not there yet, probably take another 20 years.

McKinsey have messed up government policies all over the world when it comes to McDonaldization of Society. They are using simple measurements to model how complex societies should work, unfortunately this is only works for McKinsey and their partners.

I wonder if they will do physical fingerprinting for unique digital signatures?

Going after a subset of low end devices seems a bit off-putting to me. A-One should be mandatory, but most manufacturers are hooked on adding bloatware to track you.

I use it every day. Regarding P1, if an app ask for permission access to e.g. images or location, and you use the app, how would you limit what the app can send home or even review it? See discussion in the other comments if you're not an Andriod developer.

We can still not sandbox apps access to data by default. Numerous academic projects have show how this can be implemented, e.g. by fudging data when details are not needed. Also, in order to get these security fixes I have to buy a new device from one of their partners.. Google has failed society by advancing surveillance capitalism to the extreme.

In principal e-voting to increase transparency is a nice ideology, but how would you engage the people over time? I'm afraid this would rather cause an increase in fake news and the likes. The obvious case is the Brexit vote, that gave the people two options: a remain (no change) and leave (open ended in terms of how).

If Firefox would add a smooth zoom for pinch for Windows touchscreens, then I would never look back to Chrome. Its a feature that has been promised for many years, but has never been implemented properly.

How do you know emdrive did not pan out? It's shown that the used configuration was wrong by the German institute.

I wonder if this should really be called a holographic network:

"we are projecting all training example into a single bounded dimension. As with VAEs, we also combine the input information with an optimized prior. However, we treat the prior as a separate input to the network. Because the network has very little information from the training examples, it must complement it with an accurate general representation of the training set. Because these representations are continuous, multi-dimensional, and represent the whole training set, we call them ‘Holographic Representations’ and the architectures capable of generating them ‘Holographic Neural Architectures’ (HNAs)."

This seems to me to be very similar to what has always been done in regressions on complex data.

This is the best thing for innovation on the decentralized web, the focus on websites in the legal text will force platforms down on the protocol level.

Have a look at the Valohai.com that offer both a cloud agnostic orchestration and an audit functionality for deep learning workflows.
