They are just one acquisition away from turning evil, without regulation you have no guarantees what so ever.
And regulation solves that? Weird.. The Banking industry is heavily regulated.. You remember 2008?
In fact you don't even know that these services do behind closed doors since they do not have to even disclose it.
Now I know you're a fucktard. DuckDuckGo goes through all the trouble of having an independent auditor go through their system and you can't be bothered to type "DuckDuckGo audit" in Google (or DuckDuckGo)
Fact is, you just want to bitch. You're throwing out shit that has NOT happened (acquisition) as some sort of justification for your opinion. Hell of a lot easier to simply say "I'm a retard who thinks government works in my interest & is honest about what they do. I'll make up scenarios that have not happened so I can claim the AUDITED services are just as bad."
How about "Fuck off?" There's no reasoning with you idiots. If you're gonna use fantasy as a justification.... We cannot speak. I live in the word of "facts".

Bug was found, bug was reported, bug was patched. This is the way things are supposed to work. He was sitting on a known hypervisor bypass bug so he could exploit it for his plans. His plans may have been noble, but others may have also known about the exploit and had less-than-noble plans for it.
Sony may suck, but fixing bugs is good for all of us. No exploit will ever remain only for the good guys to use.
Submission + - FCC lets Paramount sell 49.5% equity stake to foreign powers (arstechnica.com)
Local ID10T writes: The Federal Communications Commission yesterday approved Paramount Skydance's plan to sell large equity stakes to the sovereign wealth funds of Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and Qatar.
Under US law, companies with licenses to run broadcast stations need FCC approval to have direct or indirect foreign ownership exceeding 25 percent of the company's stock. Paramount says its indirect foreign ownership will reach 49.5 percent after it receives investments from the sovereign wealth funds and filed a petition asking the FCC to waive the foreign ownership limit.
Paramount, the owner of CBS, holds FCC licenses for the 28 local CBS stations that it owns and operates. Paramount is buying Warner Bros. Discovery in a $111 billion deal that is being partially financed with foreign investment but hasn't completed the acquisition because US states filed a lawsuit that aims to block the merger. Trump's Department of Justice approved the merger.
The FCC is letting Paramount sell indirect ownership stakes to "some of the most repressive governments in the world," FCC Commissioner Anna Gomez, the only Democrat on the commission, said yesterday. "An investment this large in one of America's biggest media companies doesn't just buy equity, it secures influence over what gets said and what gets made."

The fiscal conservatives at work again. What's the hourly cost to taxpayers for flying an F16?
The pilots of these machines need to log actual flight time in order to be good at it. We set minimum training hours to maintain their flight qualifications, and then struggle to find something for them to do while they are flying around. Airshows and flyovers are done as ways to occupy some of those hours of flight time.
It is not a waste of money. It is money that would be spent anyway.

alternative_right writes: In experiments involving living cells, mouse tissues, and isolated mitochondria, the team detected an unusual vibration that appeared only while mitochondrial structures remained intact.
A model linked the vibration to a possible quantum interaction. When researchers illuminated cells with selected infrared frequencies, the cells produced 10 percent more ATP.
Together, the results suggest mitochondria may contain a quantum state that influences cellular energy production.

Submission + - U.S. almost attacked Chinese ship over hallucinated AI nuclear arms report (cnn.com)
fahrbot-bot writes: CNN is reporting that an AI hallucination of Chinese nuclear components almost led to US military attack on a Chinese ship.
The intelligence report, circulated across the US military this spring in the midst of the war with Iran, immediately set off alarm bells: A Chinese ship in the Middle East was transporting components of a nuclear weapons program.
The US military swung into action with plans to intercept the vessel, according to four sources familiar with the episode. According to two of the sources, armed members of the US military were preparing to board the ship. Military planes were in the air, one of those sources and another source familiar with the incident said.
It was only just before the planned operation that officials dug deeper into the report put together by a special operations command analyst and found it had been generated with the help of artificial intelligence (AI) — and that a chatbot the analyst had used inaccurately identified the material the ship was carrying. CNN was not able to learn what the misidentified cargo was.
The report, according to one of the sources, was “entirely false.” But it also “almost started a war,” the source said. Any US operation against a Chinese vessel could have risked spiraling into an armed conflict between the two nations.
The kind of “hallucination” that the tool used by the analyst in this case conjured has not been an isolated incident across the intelligence community since these tools began proliferating across government, according to one of the sources.
