I say look on the bright side, they're actually testing something!

Is it just me or does this smell of extortion.

Your data is collected without your knowledge (stolen) and now you have to pay in order to get it back and delete it.
When you are dead, you won't even know that you are dead. It's a pain only felt by others.
Same thing when you are stupid.

It looks like you will only be able to control a copy of the data, stored under your private namespace (that's like a literal namespace).
Their stolen data won't be affected.

Moreover, the issue arises only under certain conditions, when the built-in Administrator account is active, and there are other accounts on the machine which also have Administrator permissions. Well, of course it does

There are dozens of new sprites, backgrounds, and sounds for you to play with. The brand new extension library lets you add new sets of blocks that connect to hardware and software services and do even more with Scratch. In case you've got the itch
Actually, a great tool to get kids (and others) understanding some programming concepts (IMO).

So you use it with commands like "down a bit! Left a bit!", and such?

That's probably because the only people using it are the miners.
You've got to look after your core users.

For a few minutes I was actually hopeful that a major ponzi-coin was going to move away from using proof of pollution. Then I read the rest of the article, apparently stopping polluting within their existing platform was too hard; so they're going to create a new ponzi-coin without it instead and are hoping all their users will switch over. Based on the historical track record of ponzicoin splits though, I suspect both versions will remain around meaning that etherium v1 will continue to be an environmental disaster for years to come.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

It describes a social condition many of us feel, but chances are you’ve never heard of the term that’s just been crowned Word of the Year. Is this what we've become as a species?

This doesn't surprise me.
My nomination was for the word "d1ckhead", but the non-standard spelling that I had to use on the form was obviously a problem, so they went for a synonym.

I wonder if it uses Common Core (both of which are development buzzwords).

The article claims: Over the last nine months, Grasshopper has helped stay-at-home moms, mid-career changers and international entrepreneurs kick-start new careers My challenge: Name three.
It's a google service, so you can be sure that the names of people who have gone forward into new careers, based on what they have learned on the course, will be amongst the terabytes of personal data slurped from each participant.

A machine learning agent intended to transform aerial images into street maps and back was found to be cheating by hiding information it would need later in “a nearly imperceptible, high-frequency signal.” "It is not a lie to keep the truth to oneself."
|

Yeah, cheating, right.
Because it's become super-intelligent enough to figure out what is truth and and what is falsehood.
This is one of the dangers I instruct people about, when they start out with a backprop or genetic algorithm: You don't actually know how it's figuring out the things it's figuring out, you just know that it gives results that match the results you've arrived at by other means.
If it works by directing data through routes that human devs would disregard as unreliable, even though it'll work a lot of the time, your training program will still accept the results as being correct, and feed that back to the AI, which will assume that it's doing the right things.
Rule 1 of using a trained AI: Do not trust it until you've fed it A LOT of NEW AND UNIQUE test data, over A LONG PERIOD OF TIME, and always received correct results.
