As we have recently witnessed with the demise of Gab.com, we have seen first hand how Silicon Valley deals with any sort of challenger. They all gang up together and blow the challenger out of the water.

The cryptocurrency, whose white paper was published 10 years ago on October 31, 2008, is still leading a year-long crypto market crash. Send all birthday money to my wallet at ...

What's unfortunate is that its growth is largely due to monies obtained criminally, so I wouldn't touch it with a toilet brush.
That doesn't, of course, stop such honest and stalwart people as bankers and financiers using it to make yet more money for nothing, though.

Children learn language by observing their environment, listening to the people around them, and connecting the dots between what they see and hear. "Kwaba, kwaba kitty kitty"

Google first launched its bot-detection reCAPTCHA system in 2007, which means that for over 10 years we've been deciphering garbled text, identifying street lights and clicking tiny boxes in a bid to prove we're human and subsequently access the sites and pages we want to view. It just needs to put on those sunglasses

Damned straight.
But what's annoying is that with the current recapture monstrosity, I just close pages that present them to me. This new one will be transparent to site visitors.

I would hope that no bank web-site used log-in security from a data-slurping company like google.
I'd certainly move my accounts from one that did.

So google wants us to include a script on our sites that monitors everything users do on those sites, everything they click on, hover over, select, scroll, type etc and all that data is sent back to googles servers just so we don't need captchas.
What could possibly go wrong?

So google has set aside an immense amount of space on new database servers, to store "behavior" of visitors to web-sites, as a way to avoid privacy laws.
They're such lovely people. I'm so glad that google is my friend.

A security researcher has demonstrated how he could hide the Complete Works of Shakespeare into an image and use Twitter to distribute it using Steganography. "Oh what a tangled web we weave, When first we practise to deceive!"
Which isn't actually Shakespeare, but whatevs.
