How a Kaggle Grandmaster cheated in $25,000 AI contest with hidden code – and was fired from dream SV job
South American nations open fire on ICANN for 'illegal and unjust' sale of .amazon to zillionaire Jeff Bezos
Tuesday 21st January 2020 16:39 GMT 
Why do Amazon even care
How many extra sales are they going to generate from having https://uk.amazon rather than https://amazon.co.uk/ ?
My guess is, probably none, and if there is any change it would be in the negative direction.
Most of the "new" tlds have found there way onto peoples blocklists, because normal people don't use them, only spammers use them.
Let’s check in on the .org sale fiasco: Senators say No, internet grandees say Yes – and ICANN pretends there's absolutely nothing to see here

Re: Confusing.
Yes, and changes to the tax code usually mean you have to collect different information about transactions to previously. Usually more detail, sometimes less.
British Sage for example still has separate account codes for UK and Overseas Entertainment even though that has been treated the same for tax purposes for about 30+ years.

Re: So, Google is pulling a Microsoft ?
Google is way worse than Microsoft in this respect.
There are some programs compiled for 32 bit MS platforms in the 1990s that still run today. Not all of them of course, but Microsoft's track record in this regard is better than a lot of people. Google's graveyard is far bigger than anyone else's.

If I want to send money to Italy, which I do from time to time, I tap a few virutal buttons on the Revolut app on my phone, and four hours later, the money arrives at its destination. It doesn't cost me a single cent in bank charges.
20 years ago, I would have had to spend an entire lunchtime at a bank branch, the transfer would take about two weeks to clear, and it would cost me many thousands of lire in bank charges.
Tuesday 14th January 2020 00:09 GMT
Re: So what happens to the money?
In the UK, money transfers take about 3 seconds, and they can’t be recalled. Frauds similar to the one describe do take place fairly frequently.
I’ve done SEPA transfers between UK and Italy in both directions. They generally take about 4 working hours - if I do it in the morning, it will arrive by afternoon, if I do it in the afternoon, it will arrive the following morning.
It's a no to ZFS in the Linux kernel from me, says Torvalds, points finger of blame at Oracle licensing
Monday 13th January 2020 18:36 GMT
Re: Torvalds declared: "Don't use ZFS. It's that simple."
It is fast enough to saturate my gigabit network connection, and that is it running on 7 y/o desktop-grade hardware. Also, I haven't had a single instance of data corruption in 10 years of using it.
At some point, I will upgrade to 10 gigabit, but first, I will need a new server with sufficient pci-e lanes.

Re: But...
“Masquerading as a legitimate currency app” suggests it requires user action to install, and no amount of security can stop that. A virus scanner can discourage people from installing it if it knows about that specific threat, but if you are going to rely on that, you need to download it, keep it for a few days until the virus scanner gets updated, then scan it; and most people don’t do that.

zfs is a file system, not a backup system. It guarantees that any data you read from the disk will be exactly the same as what you (or a virus etc) wrote to it. It does not guarantee that you will get it back. Other file systems will give you corrupted data in situations where zfs will know it has been destroyed and not give you anything.
Friday 10th January 2020 16:06 GMT
Re: Interesting
If I was to write a tool for recovering zfs volumes, I don't think Windows would be my operating system of choice.
The number of computers that boot up to windows and contain zfs volumes is remarkably small. I actually have such a system - Hyper-V host, drives directly assigned to a FreeBSD virtual machine, but I don't think that's a common setup.
The number of computers that have corrupted disk volumes and are unable to boot up to anything at all is remarkably large; so usually these tools come on a bootable USB stick or similar. Distributing Windows in such a form would be a challenge from a licencing point of view, and Windows on a USB device is not a great experience.
