That depends entirely on what's on the device I'm updating.

My phone has basically no important information and the entire thing is backed up in 3 different locations. I only update it when I absolutely have to because being without it if it bricks during the update is a nightmare, and most updates change the way the phone works and just end up irritating me. I don't know anyone personally that's ever had their phone remotely hacked, and even if they did... so what?

My work computer? It gets updated every night. There's a team of people that handle that.

My home computer? Well, MSFT is involved... that used to auto-update until they came out with that "upgrade to windows 10!" notification. Now I don't trust their updater at all and updates are turned off permanently. I'll update when I need to.

Linux installs stable updates on its own. Never had a problem.

Websites and things? Again, depends on the content. I've got a Teamspeak server that's been running on an EC2 Instance for years and I'm never updating that.

As long as you're honest with them, that's cool with me. Not sure I'd walk the same path, you might want to see a shrink about your inability to commit, but that's your business, not mine.

Nice try.

Hiding truths about yourself isn't necessarily bad.
"I don't want people to know I really do like Oysters but don't want to eat them because I had a stuffed clam as a child and that's embarrassing"
That secret is ok. Revealing it doesn't really help... anyone. Ok, maybe you could argue that it does but whatever. It's close enough to the line that why not let you keep the secret?

"I'm lying to my wife about dangerous behavior that could endanger her mental/physical health, maybe even her life." or even worse "I'm not sure my husband fathered our son" yea no... that's not a secret you have a right to keep. You should be exposed. You're morally reprehensible for failing to address your marital issues in an honest way.

When you get married, you've made a choice to do things a certain way. You even have a relatively easy way out these day (divorce) it may have been different in the middle ages, but you have no excuse now. Man up, have the talk.

Nothing is immoral about "Truth" and anyone that furthers "Truth" is doing the right thing. Though it may be difficult or uncomfortable. The people who will be exposed here, had a very easy way to avoid this entire thing. Seek marital counseling, and failing that get a divorce. It's not hard at all these days. One uncomfortable talk with your wife, a few irritating weeks figuring out the finances, sign some papers... one court appearance, and you're done. But what did they chose? Doesn't their spouse deserve to know?

Well, you can never make it "impossible" unless you don't collect the data at all. But what you can do is make it impossible to do anonymously. If it was an inside job, and they had their controls set properly, then they should already know who the insider is.

No, one illegal act, to shutdown another immoral act. There's a huge difference.
Releasing this info is the right thing to do.

Now all the adulterers on slashdot can flag me troll. Go right ahead, that wont save you from your spouse.

Gotta love all the adulterers flagging me troll. I'll ware the badge with honor when this list is released and your spouses read it. You deserve all the pain you get... unfortunately your spouse doesn't. Whos fault will that pain be? Not that hackers, I assure you of that.

It's simple. Living with someone exposes their flaws. It's hard to see the flaws in people you don't live with. Less flaws = more attractive.

But the fact of the matter is, you should live up to your obligations. Sometimes you make bad choices in life... sometimes they are so bad that it affects the rest of your life... you end up missing an arm, or in prison, or married to a drunk. You've got to live with your choices, and do your best improve the situation. But lies, and dishonesty are not the way. Don't like your wife? Go to counseling, work it out with her... if all else fails, be honest with her and get a divorce, then start dating.

What exactly is the person that's visiting a site like this doing? It's pure, 100% evil. There is nothing good that comes of cheating. You're exposing your wife and children to all sorts of danger and instability. STDs, scorned women... God only knows. You're further harming your marriage with distrust and dishonesty. Infidelity is the ultimate selfish act, and it's at the expense of the people that are the closest to you. There are few other acts that even remotely compare in their depravity, and self interest.

It's not the cheating... it's the lying... and why you're lying. You're causing your spouse ultimate pain, for basically nothing. And you could avoid all of that with a few months of heart ache and once court appearance.

You apparently never played D&D. "Alignment" in D&D is actually a fairly ingenious way of looking at belief systems: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

This site was Lawful Evil.
The hackers were Chaotic Good. (well I guess we don't really know do we?)
You're apparently Lawful Good, so you're conflicted. The site breaks the "Good" part of your personality, but the hackers break the "Lawful" part.
I'm probably Chaotic good... So this seems legit to me.

The site delays the inevitable discovery by their spouse, thereby increasing the damaged caused by the dishonesty. Anything that destroys truth is evil. Period. This site and the people that use it are disgusting.

I used to race RC cars in competition. Both "Stock cars" (we called them pan cars) and drag races. We're not talking about walmart RC cars here... Mine were custom cut out of graphite sheets with a CNC router. My pan car would do between 70 and 80mph real speed, not scale. The drag car wasn't really measurable but it's speed resembled an arrow in flight. Random video I found: https://www.youtube.com/watch?...

Basically everything Tesla is doing was stolen from my old hobby. The torque possible with an electric motor is only limited by the fleshy bit behind the steering wheel. Tesla could literally kill you if they let the motor wind out at full torque. The biggest problem I had to deal with was the heat on the power cables. The cables were the size of pencils but they were draining 20+ c-cell batteries completely dead in just a few seconds. As the tech advanced, we eventually had to get rid of battery connectors completely. We'd solder the battery backs directly to the speed controller. Then the cables between cells would start melting, so we spot welded sheet metal directly to them. Then the speed controllers started frying to we switched to mechanical relays that just dumped the entire battery at 100% at once. We had so many car fires, the school gyms that we used to race at wouldn't let us run there anymore. If you're wondering, to get batteries to dump that much juice at once, you have to "Train" them... we'd hook them up to tractor headlights from the local farm implement store and dump them quick. Then charge them quick. Do this hundreds of times and they'd turn into these super high voltage power houses. I think a while later, after I left the hobby, they put limits on the voltage output of the batteries, because they were getting pretty dangerous. I saw people get hurt at some major competitions by batteries exploding and in one case a car punched through a 3/4" sheet of plywood and broke a persons leg. That was from a standing start from less than 100 feet away.

As far as tires go... that's nothing. Regular car tires... well they suck. They're made very hard so they'll last a long time. To make a tire than has insane amounts of traction is easy... only problem is it only lasts 5k miles. But if you're buying a $200k car, I doubt you care.

None of them. I doubt we'll even remotely understand machine intelligence once we realize it's here. We barely understand out own intelligence. I actually suspect machine intelligence is already here, in a very weird, hard to grasp way. Notice we're spending a significant portion of our industrial output to device new and faster processing, improved battery life, everything AI would need? I'm not suggesting there's some secretive AI tricking us into all of this, I think it's a lot more subtle than that.

I work for an ISP. The way it works is, the 2 isp's have a free peering agreement... Every month or 3 they compare traffic and true up. You ate up 100gig more than we did? You party us X. And vice versa.

What happened with Netflix is they colluded with level3 to try and force the ISPs to not charge them for that disparity or otherwise set that peering agreement up in such a way that made it favorable to Netflix. Level3 tried to charge insane rates to connect to them. Generally the isp's would trade trunks... Let's say ATT and Sprint... Each would have the same number of trunks from each other. In the end, those agreements come out as a 'wash' for both sides
  No one makes or losses money. Netflix bet that their traffic was so important that the isp's would start to lose customers over Netflix access and would give in. What Netflix didn't count on was the fact that residential broadband isn't very profitable to begin with, and the customers that uses Netflix are like the fat guy that shows up at the all you can eat buffet... The owners don't want him there anyway. The isp's then, likely colluded, to muscle Netflix out. Netflix played their card too soon. If they waited 10yrs or so they might have been successful.

The privatization of the herds has been well documented and is a very interesting success story. I've seen at least 2 documentaries on it.

Basically, if you're a big game hunter, there's not much left to hunt. So people raise the Rhinos on farms and then sell them for hunting or whatever... They sell for tens of thousands of dollars, far more than their horns are worth, so you can rest assured the farmers protect them ferociously.

The problem with this approach is that a lot of endangered species aren't something someone would want to "Buy" so it only works for animals that look good in a trophy room. In the U.S. for example, most of the surviving large animals are ones that hunters protect because they like to hunt them. Around me, hunters have reintroduced wild turkeys, black bears, cougars, bobcats, etc... none of those species lived around here when I was a kid, but a couple of years ago my father hit a black bear that was big enough to total his F150. They're so plentiful they're a nuisance now. Hunters are some of the most involved conservationists there are.

Make the Rhinos more valuable alive than dead, and the problem solves itself.
