You're probably right, there. I read up on all this stuff years ago, and I've been all too happy to have forgotten all but a few of the most gruesome highlights.
What I do know is that China was so badly sh1t on by the West for so long that it's a miracle that they don't want to wipe us all out -- as I say, we're one Chinese Farage away from a very, very bad period for the world, and the way great leaders like Trump mouth off about China will only inspire them to move more toward nationalism and the alt-right.

For China, the "average" means nothing: vast demographics overpower everything else ... there is a huge moneyed urban elite, and that is the source of Apple's former substantial sales.
The peasant from Harbin working 14 hour shifts six days a week at a Foxconn factory (and paying the company for dormitory housing and meals) to earn a little to send back home ... can only gape at the wonder of the Apple bling his hands assemble: [^]

Hackers have hijacked thousands of exposed Chromecast streaming devices to warn users of the latest security flaw to affect the device. Or you could have just told them about it?
And I bet this will really change someone's lifestyle

But isn't the hackers creed: You don't know if something is hackable if you don't hack it! ?

From the article: Google now checks for security breaches even after a user has logged in ... monitors various aspects of behavior throughout a user’s session.
And they think that watching and reading everything that their perfectly honest, law-abiding users do and say is acceptable behaviour?
They are a corporation, a business, not an international security force.
If the genuine police of any country wanted to watch and read everything I did, I would expect to see multiple warrants, signed by judges.
And you can rest assured that whatever they glean from performing these "security checks that we do just for you, our friends!" is used to make profit for them.

To write expressive code in C++, mastering smart pointers is a necessity! Without them, our code becomes littered with memory management, news and delete, and unclear semantics about who owns what resources. Full of many smart pointers, no doubt
Yeah, "free" as in, "subscribe to my newsletter free". I'm sure you can work around that if needed.

I think a few eParagraphs would suffice.

if the pointers are smart why do we need to read about it..

Over the next eight years, the United States will add more than a quarter-million new software developer roles, according to new data crunched by The Knowledge Academy (which provides online training courses) and Glassdoor. After that, you're on your own?

Aren't computers supposed to program themselves by that time?

Wow!
That's the second organisation that makes money out of IT courses to say that lots more jobs will be available for people with IT training.
We needn't worry, then, if experts like that say that the future is rosy for people with IT training.

The app, which had been getting a little long in the tooth especially compared with modern email clients like Microsoft’s Outlook Mail and Google’s Gmail web app is about due for a revamp, and Mozilla’s Ryan Sipes acknowledges that in a blog post. "I've heard of you. I heard you were dead!"

Microsoft Research has been doing some research into speaker and microphone arrays as often found in smart speakers. "The order is: engage the silent drive."
"Microsoft does not plan to use the technology for anything nefarious". I'm sure that someone will.

I was starting to confuse my self. Haven't ships and submarines been using ultra sound for a very long time.
So wouldn't using speak sound range be a different level of fidelity then ultra sound.
hell, i rember as a kid that you could plug headphones into the mic port and record, poorly, sounds.

Wow!
That's really scary news!
Remind me, though: who is it that's selling lots of smart speakers?
Hmm? Say again?
Oh, "All the big tech companies except microsoft"? Okidoki.
