A significant hairdresser budget goes a long way toward making Strange New Worlds. The federation wouldn't stand a chance without the captain's magnificent haircut.
In addition to not connecting stuff unnecessarily, connected devices that consume/produce lots of power need safeguards.
Like a random 0-60sec timer for remote power on/off operations. 50000 panels powering down over 60sec is easier to handle than if they do that simultaneously.
It may be trickier to enforce law against Temu vs a more classic and direct seller of goods, so it may take more time, and it may become a game of whack a mole, but there will be some enforcement.
There are hypotheticals precisely because Tiktok is not transparent enough. It sounds like they're doing an estimate on the best data publically available.
At the very least, this put pressure on Tiktok to be more transparent. Tiktok could prove the study wrong by publishing more about their energy and resource use.
Disabling interconnexion shows what still work, and what breaks when only the country's own network is accessible. Doing multiple short tests allows gradually building a more isolated network while limiting disruptions.
The mobile standard setter, GSMA, and Google have said encryption will be coming to RCS, but there’s no firm date yet.
GSMA, please don't come up with yet another poorly designed encryption standard.
The IETF is already working on Messaging Layer Security (MLS), please work with IETF and adopt MLS. IETF have more experience and do a good job at designing secure protocols. And multiple organisations and services are already working on adapting MLS (Mozilla, Google, Matrix, Wire, ...)
I understand being bumed out by what's being reported in these articles, these are bad news. But I don't see an obvious hard right turn in how NPR is reporting. The article on Elon even mentions criticism for SpaceX's environmental impact.
Not for free, but paid by people's taxes and insurance contributions.
Drugs have a cost, and there's always someone paying. With national health insurance, the people getting drugs are the ones paying it. It's just spread over a large group, and a function of individuals income.
“I can potentially make it really big,” Lin said, hopeful despite the modest earnings.
This sounds like Uberisation, ie relying on entrepreneur wannabes to replace employees and warehouses with self-employed workers and their living room. I'd be curious to see if it allows them to earn a living wage with a 40h week, or if it's exploitative.
It sounds surprising given the headline, but looks quite reasonable when looking at the details in the article:
The requirement is part of a tender for €1bn worth of grants to develop batteries. It only affect companies who engage in this tender.
This is in part a response, at a smaller scale, to China's own regime that "pressures foreign companies into sharing their intellectual property in exchange for access to the Chinese market. "
Every service may be abused to spread misinformation. Here, the complaint isn't that people abuse a service against the owner's will, but that the service is operated to spread misinformation.

It's going to make even more nurses run away, when many places are lacking nurses.
