Oh it's definitely BS
It says right in the article that they can't print rebar or pipes or anything more than basic concrete
So the entire powerhouse needs to be done by humans
I've been working on the site c dam project for a few years now. This tech could build the earthfill part that blocks the river, which is about half of the dam going by how many billions of dollars the contract was worth. So realistically, you're only getting rid of rock-truck drivers and some other heavy equipment operators.

It's doesn't need to be easier or better -- it's just another attack surface that CAN be compromised, meaning that there are plenty of FTP servers out there which are misconfigured and can be used to serve malware. Due to the latency logging in and requesting a file via FTP, no webmaster should purposely configure a site to pull a page's resources from an FTP, so it makes sense to cut it off.
As for why it's easier or better, a badly configured FTP server is probably more likely to stay that way because the hackers hide the files and are only using disk space and bandwidth. Something like a CMS will tell you "please update me" every time you log in as admin to patch holes. Your FTP isn't going to tell you that you're a shitty admin.

envion is planning to install sea can mining farms at locations like this. If anyone wants to invest, they are having a token sale right now.

They lost their money, not the users. They can pay it back if they want to.
People on reddit are mostly wanting nicehash back because their rigs are sitting idle and not earning anything.
People that paid for hashing power are probably pissed, but I don't think you'll see too many people crying on reddit about that.

When mining for them, you can let it collect earned BTC payments in a virtual wallet until you 'withdraw' it, paying a fixed transaction fee that is the lowest once you have 0.15 of BTC -- about $2000.
Alternatively, you can let them pay a real external wallet directly, but you have to pay extra fees, will be paid less often, and some of the stats on their web page don't work as well. They talk about sending 1000 BTC or so every Friday which is probably to external wallets only.
They also accept bitcoin payments to purchase hashing power. Hopefully, they have just lost a wallet for handling some types of transactions and they have a lot more BTC offline somewhere to cover their internal wallets they pretty much force you to use.

It's called a telesync, or TS

I just checked and there's plenty of TS releases in the last week.

Is not a criminal act

It's all saved on your PC/Mac/USB stick unless you purchase a yearly RoboForm everywhere licence and tell it to sync to the cloud. I think that's the only way to use it from a phone as well.

xPrivacy on my phone shows that Swype did something called "requestLocationUpdates" 10 hours ago. Some other GPS related stuff also happened 10 hours ago.
"requestLocationUpdates" is like a subscription, so any app on the phone that stays subscribed to that will get updates whenever the phone OS thinks the location has changed. Since we don't know what parameters this was called with, we can't even say if it's going to trigger GPS to switch on. It probably doesn't, based on my excellent battery life.

not on their windows phones with locked bootloaders

no, it's just the default firmware.
"Only routers running stock firmware are vulnerable. OpenWRT is not vulnerable to this issue."

Actually, as an experienced MeeGo developer, this just makes me sad because they won't sell one to North Americans. Nokia did this to us with the N9 too, but at least they sent me a developer device. These guys still haven't released the official GSM/LTE frequencies it supports for some stupid reason, so I don't even know if I should bother trying to import one.

Eros is not a rubble pile. I hate quoting wikipedia, but "The asteroid 433 Eros, the primary destination of NEAR Shoemaker, was determined to be riven with cracks but otherwise solid. Other asteroids, possibly including Itokawa, have been found to be contact binaries, two major bodies touching, with or without rubble filling the boundary."

The Mandiant report was pretty damning.
"In over 97% of the 1,905 times Mandiant observed APT1 intruders connecting to their attack infrastructure, APT1 used IP addresses registered in Shanghai and systems set to use the Simplified Chinese language."
Oh, sure, it's probably just random hackers that really like that network...
