That's one smelly IoT project.  
Loved the reactions of the Porch Pirates, especially when one of the pirate's girlfriend, while getting into his car, wanted to know who was in his car.
When you are dead, you won't even know that you are dead. It's a pain only felt by others.
Same thing when you are stupid.

Not sure how I missed this one earlier today, but once again Leslie
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Aside from Jeff Bezos, no one would go on the "forced march" from Oracle to AWS database technology, Oracle's outspoken CTO Larry Ellison said. Kinda like ... Apple: "No way a normal person would move to Android."

No data encryption, no antivirus programs, no multifactor authentication mechanisms, and 28-year-old unpatched vulnerabilities are just some of the cyber-security failings described in a security audit of the US' ballistic missile system released on Friday by the US Department of Defense Inspector General (DOD IG). Shall we play a game?

I guess allowing audits, of secret military vulnerabilities, to go public could be added to that list

Same thought other words...
Mine would have been more like... "bad enough to have them, but even worst to make it public... idiots"

Brain scans of adolescents who are heavy users of smartphones, tablets and video games look different from those of less active screen users, preliminary results from an ongoing study funded by the National Institutes of Health show, according to a report on Sunday by “60 Minutes.” Kid, you don't even wanna see what my brain scan looks like.

No element of "Whatever kids do now that I didn't do when I was a kid is BAD!" there, eh?

GOOGLE HAS BEEN forced to shut down a data analysis system it was using to develop a censored search engine for China after members of the company’s privacy team raised internal complaints that it had been kept secret from them, The Intercept has learned. Listen. Do you want to know a secret? Do you promise not to tell?

A secret a bit told is like a woman a bit pregnant. It is only a matter of time...
By the way... have a look a couple of messages below

You're right. I shouldn't go searching for news and then come back here and discover I accidentally re-posted it. I should come here and just steal it outright!

French finance minister Bruno Le Maire says the country will move ahead with a new tax on Google, Apple, Facebook, and Amazon starting Jan. 1, 2019. The tax is expected to raise €500 million ($570 million) in 2019. They can squeal all they want but a hike of 3% is not going to make me cry any rivers over Google's pain.

With Microsoft's decision to end development of its own Web rendering engine and switch to Chromium, control over the Web has functionally been ceded to Google. That's a worrying turn of events, given the company's past behavior. Google is the hero we deserve, but not the one we need right now.

That is a really great article.
I changed from Google to Firefox about 6 months ago and did so for this exact reason.
I also switched from Googling to DuckDuckGo. Competition drives innovation and freedom.

The salvation, so to speak, is that Chromium is open source and thus only indirectly controlled by Google.
I'm more concerned about Android, which is open source, but most installations of which involve quite a few Google pieces.

I bought his AoCP volume on Permutation and Combination a few years back and I haven't read a single page yet.
The article makes me yearning to read his earlier volume on how to solve the 7 bridge traveling problem.

Yeah, I've picked up AoCP Volume 1 at library or book store numerous times and thought, "I'm going to read this..."
I stand there in the aisle and flip past the preface, the intro by Bill Gates and the rest to Chapter 1 : Basic Concepts. I read the two quotes at the top of the page and then start in:
AoCP "1.1 Algorithms
The notion of an algorithm..."
I make it to the bottom of page 1 or 2 then I set the book back on the shelf.
I try to do that about every 3 to 5 years to insure I'm still a Software Developer. 
That's as far as it ever got.

GOOGLE HAS BEEN forced to shut down a data analysis system it was using to develop a censored search engine for China after members of the company’s privacy team raised internal complaints that it had been kept secret from them, The Intercept has learned.
The internal rift over the system has had massive ramifications, effectively ending work on the censored search engine, known as Dragonfly, according to two sources familiar with the plans.
This is infinitely more satisfying than how I expected the story to end.
