Consider the threat of Russia hacking an election or shutting down our banking system. In reality the Russians had to settle for influencing people through FaceBook or directly compromising powerful idiots the old-fashioned way.
This because we've had so much experience with being hacked by thieves and scammers that security has evolved by learning lessons the hard way. Exploits get patched before the Russians get to take advantage them.
NEW things - like IoT devices - are a new frontier for hackers, but robbing a bank or breaking into an iPhone are a lot harder than they used to be. Amazon Key is more secure than previous smart door locks, and this exploit will be quickly fixed.
So you can imagine what will happen before that 50th humanoid robot model arrives. There will be many exploits and fiascos starting with generation one. The next, more capable generations will experience everything from hacking them to do harm or property damage on an individual level, to the alt-right crowd enlisting them in large numbers to riot or attack counter-protestors. You'll get the same evolution of security before someone can launch an effective mass-murder rampage.

Re: No one has proven the allegations, but your fired anyway
There is something to be said about the accusations.
Yes. It's plural.
Nine women on record and agreeing to have their names published despite the inevitable attacks against them that would (and did) follow.
A former colleague in the District Attorney's office - and four others who back up his story - saying "It was common knowledge that Roy dated high school girls, everyone we knew thought it was weird [...] We wondered why someone his age would hang out at high school football games and the mall".
Multiple former police officers and mall employees who had heard that Roy Moore had been banned from the Gadsden Mall in the early 1980s for attempting to pick up teenage girls.
It may not proof, but there's a clear balance of probability.
Also: Can class action lawsuits like this one come with non-disclosure agreements? As in "Any student and their parents accepting the settlement money must not talk about the incident, especially when Sheriff Hobby and his deputies campaign to keep their jobs or receive their oddly-traditional-in-these-cases bonus for a job well done?"
Re: Re: This smear job has flopped. Dropped off Drudge.
"Report: Roy Moore Raised More Than $1 Million in Last 10 Days - Without RNC Support"
So Moore gets a burst of support from alt-right inbreds, just enough support that he doesn't get replaced by the RNC before the election. Support that's rapidly fading as more and more evidence against him has appeared.
Which only harms the RNC. Maybe a Democrat wins the senate seat - because Republicans don't vote or split the vote with write-in candidates. Or worse for the RNC, he gets elected and they have to deal with a high-profile pedophile senator defining the party in addition to Donald Trump.
Either way, do you honestly think Democrats oppose the damage he's doing? Heck, it's only a question of how many donated!
Obviously your cellular provider will know what towers you connect to from the towers themselves.
But if it's your phone itself sending your tower data to Google, then shouldn't it be possible to write software (a firmware patch if necessary) to send randomized or faked tower data?
Perhaps the biggest change to the TPP - now that the US has dropped out and it's going ahead regardless - is that the intellectual property protections and extensions the American negotiators demanded, have been dropped.

just as Stiglitz and Masnick write only to carry globalist views

Tell us...
If YOU are not a globalist, then why are you posting on a site you consider to be shilling for globalists?
Why are you doing so using a global computer network, the ultimate expression of globalization? While using international standards like TCP/IP, UTF-8 and HTML?
What non-globalist brand of computer and monitor are you using? What OS and browser?
Stiglitz argues against the current globalist IP system. Masnick and Techdirt frequently argue against IP maximalism, ISDS and other globalist trends. Why are YOU trashing their opinions?
Really, if you want us to find globalists behind every tree, aren't YOU the prime suspect here?
It doesn't actually make a difference that he found no drugs.
Even if he had found drugs on one or two students, that doesn't justify his becoming the Henry Ford of sexual assault, groping 850 teens assembly-line style. None were suspects. None consented, as one does when they agree to be groped if they want to fly.
assassinate: To target and deliberately kill a person.
This is what happened to Amadou Diallo. 41 rounds shot at an unarmed man who had done nothing wrong, who merely matched a general description of a suspect from a crime a year earlier. (He was black.)
On the other hand there's the second part of the definition...
The word assassinate is almost always used to describe the killing of a famous person.
Diallo wasn't famous. That doesn't make his murder by police any less offensive. The description is not a cheap shot.
Hey, have a good day, hope you don't get pulled over!
Well, not by an asshole like you.
Yes, I do note the Jersey City Police badge you use as an avatar and your how-dare-you-criticize-any-police posting history. And your threat.
