Well wtf does he mean by speedtest then? If he's doing it from his phone or wifi connected laptop, then it's going to reflect the speed of his wifi. If he's doing it from his router, and complaining that the speedtest is wrong because his wifi is slower than his router uplink, I'd say that's a statement only a doofus would make.
"Now I'm currently using fiber at the speed fast than my wifi router, which makes my speedtest always wrong."
oh please expand on this - this is gunna be hilarious
How 'bout if I buy now and pay after I die?
sounds like the plots of a cheap SF movie.
They shouldn't be trying such a desperate solution without trying chlorox and ivermectin first.
Just don't leave the country after you participate.
For that matter, you may suffer remote retaliation even if you stay home. I would leave this to the military or other government branch.
Also there is the question of legality, government operation or not. It sounds to me like vigilante justice. And countries who like their anti-American cybercriminals will certainly treat it as illegal. (Hence the advice not to leave the country.)
We certainly need a way to stop cybercrime, international or otherwise. But this doesn't strike me as a good way to go about it.
Finally a prediction: in the not too distant future, one or more offshoots from this will turn into unmanageable domestic criminal organizations.
Even Batman's job is threatened by AI.
It's just ET trying to phone home. Probably dialed the wrong number.
Ideology vetos reality, news at 11.
A lot of people behave pretty ghastly when it comes to money.
If this is accurate, this suggests that abiogenesis is easy once one has a stable, watery environment, since it happened twice on Earth.
That was my first thought too. (Assuming the article is correct - all kinds of stuff gets published that doesn't hold up in the longer run.)
One potential conclusion about the Fermi paradox [...]
Remember that time is also big. Suppose that there have been 1000 interstellar civilizations in our galaxy during the past 5 billion years, and that each one lasted a million years before collapsing. How many would be active right now?
Frankly, I don't consider it a paradox at all. We've explored approximately 0% of our galaxy and found nothing. That doesn't tell us much.
Doesn't he know he's supposed to play the fiddle while he destroys his country?
This has to be a troll. Nobody on Slashdot is actually this stupid.
I'm skeptical about that second part.
As for trolls, I wonder if some anti-vax propaganda is being pushed by hostile foreign powers as a way of hurting us.
Prosecuting arsonists doesn't unwind time, bro.
It's just a story about Meta and AI.
Oh, nevermind.
