Re: About bloody time!
probably hardware requirements, a lot of things thought of in the 60/70/80 only became possible when memory became so cheap.

Really, why can't the core OS and libraries be auto-patched for security as most Linux distros do?
I'm going to take a guess and presume the mobile phone operators being the control freaks they are want to test each an every patched first, also they probably worry about being blame for customers going on their data limits unknowingly, through this could be solve by making it only wifi only feature, auto patched over wifi. Another issue is Motorola and others laying their own software on top of android, there some potential for new security patches to break these software.
As leave camp promised all of the EU savings to be devoted to the NHS, how does he (Gove )intend to replace the funding that UK scientists will lose once we leave the EU?
Considering their will be calls from farmers for the replacement of CAP, an I'm sure numerous other parties who are going to lose money from us leaving the EU, how does Gove intend to make sure UK scientists voices won't get lost amongst even more powerful lobbying groups such as Landowners and farmers in calls for replacement funding?
It already good calling for a UK version of DARPA but does he also intend to adopt it management style as well? Allowing it to be led by scientists and engineers and not by politicans.
How would the UK research councils and UKSA interact with this UK version of DARPA?
What kind of budget do you envision UK Darpa receiving on a per year basis?
Actually it not about coming to better conclusions, it about using these medical records to train up a Deepmind Neural net so that it can spot a patient with kidney trouble or sepsis or any number of other conditions before they become life threatening and presumably before a human doctor could.
Except that dealing with experiments on the patients directly with new drugs or surgical techniques, which at the moment Google isn't doing. What Google is doing with this set of data is training it neural network to recognise when a patient has kidney problems from their medical records. CQC, NICE and other organisation already does this on a regular base, NICE use patient records to confirm whether drugs are as good as they claim and whether they are worth the price we are paying for them. CQC use them to spot where parts of the NHS are failing.
Helsinki Declaration will only come into effect once Google start to test its technology in a live clinical environment and are monitoring real patients, presumably in real time because that the moment when they are actually experimenting and using patients as guinea pigs.
They actually state they don't sale ads in the UK, given that where nearly all of it profits are made, there very little generation of revenue and thus profits being made in this country. I don't like this anymore than you do but the politicians could change the law tomorrow if they wanted, they won't because they themselves would be hit by such changes to the law.
Ambulance driver missed signs of sepsis,
Nurse missed signs of sepsis,
Doctor missed signs of sepsis,
consultant missed signs of sepsis,
Google software didn't, another life save.
Bet that headline doesn't meet your narrow view of the world does it?
Every data protection form I have ever signed have included giving permission for my data to be analyse and process by third parties, this is no different. If people don't want to read them that their fault.
Which would mean it couldn't be index by a library or by any other organisation like bookshops and Amazon, which would mean no one would ever be able to find your book, great for secret manuscripts about your secret cult, not so great if you actually want people to find and buy your book. I thought this site was meant to be filled with intelligent people.
Now google has won the court case, the project it will probably get renew it investment and interest from Google, I wouldn't be surprise if in the next couple of years we the catalogue greatly enhance. Before now any money google spent could have been pouring money down the drain.
They don't need to be planes.
The MOD will be testing out the Airlander 10 for surveillance purposes this year.

They are already working on turning it into a electric aircraft, I'm guessing they will pursue smaller versions for surveillance operations as it offers better chance of a profit before going for larger versions.
I chuck in a fiver on Indiegogo, what the worst that could happen, they take their prototype laser razor that can cut a few hairs over a couple minutes to a final product that can shave my face in a few minutes and put it on general sale and I spend 300 quid on a Laser razor. I spent 300 quid on worse things.
So Google could/should be able to issue a patch for Hangout to stop pre processing videos for now until manufactures pull their fingers out and issue a over the air update for android, an other messaging apps under it control. An other messaging app providers could provide the same fix fairly quickly as well, especially the big guys like Facebook and WhatsApp.
We will see how seriously the messaging apps themselves take this bug.
Only companies which operates and have a legal presence in the EU.
There are a few Chinese an at least one Russia search engines that index the whole web, they have no operational presence in the EU and no business interests in the EU and thus don't need to comply with EU judges decisions and EU governments have no powers to force them to comply with EU.
Society and people expectations are still adapting to having all of this information available with a few press of a keyboard.
I very much more doubt someone in their twenties really cares about some photos that the person that they are interviewing took in Ibiza or down at the local, I know someone who 29 interview employees for a major bank T department yes he could find out a tonne of details about the people who he interviews by searching the web but he doesn't because he accepts that this information little to no effect on them being able to do the job, whilst he knows some of his older colleagues who are in their 40s do have their puritan views and will refuse to employ someone who has a few dodgy pics on some profile page they probably can't even remember setting up or happen to have been arrested for some crime in their teens.
It often older generations that have these prejudices and well frankly we probably have to wait for the old dogs to retire or die to get rid of them.
But names slip out all the time for one. An it only rape victims that get their name protected.
Here a scenario,
one person get a accused of raping a women, they get found innocent by the courts but another person at the same trial get found guilty, the first person who got accused and found innocent, their name will still be mention in articles about the case and is often brought up in job interviews or down the pub. Now they themselves decides they have had enough and so ask for the articles to be removed from Google.
The person who is found innocent deserves to be able to get along with their lives but the person found guilty deserve have their name in the media, so how is Google meant to react. If I was reviewing the case I would have a lot of sympathy with the bloke that is found innocent and decide to remove the article. Unfortunately the side effect of this decision could easily be the actual rapist name also being removed from the Google index.

Right to be forgotten is a lot more complex to implement than it supporters would like to make out, especially when it comes to criminal cases. Often articles and news sites like to cover the whole history of criminal cases, so police suspects are often mention in article long after they became irrelevant to the cases as well. Again do they deserve to be forever tainted with the case?. These are the questions the supporters of this decision have to answer and justify.
"""If Google wasn't sure, then it could simply refuse a request and thus bounce difficult requests to the relevant national data commissioner, who would decide."""
The problem with that was always going to be about cost and Google sent thousands of cases commissioners all across Europe, costs would quickly mount, google having to send lawyers to these cases costs of assembling their cases, writing up documents, potentially flying out witnesses even having to cover the claimant costs. Plus if discussions came out against Google it could leave google open to be sued for continue reputational damage, most costs.
An that one of the unintended side effects of the law that the stupid judges in Europe didn't think about, criminal cases often involve multiple people thus multiple people will often be mention in the article and would have their privacy violated, thus they have the right to remove the article, not just the criminal in the article. Stupid decision by a bunch of overzealous judges in Europe, it no wonder a large percentage of Brits want to leave Europe.
If people don't like the way Google is dealing with then they should campaign for the government to take on the costs of dealing with all the cases an the people who want that can pay extra taxes to pay for it.
This one confusing, messy article, I think the editor need to take another look at it, especially the first page.
The fact the lawyer firm is crying foul suggests that there is a fire to be found. Sony docs for me at least point to some sort of conspiracy. That doesn't necessarily give Google the right to demand these own fishing expedition but still I refuse to stick up for the MPAA and Hollywood.
Hood was on his own fishing expedition and rightly withdraw the requests before he got slap down by the courts for it.
Frontier have already confirm power play has nothing to do with with PVP Arena. Which I'm sure are coming in some form or another. I'm pretty sure if it does come it will be done in a similar manner to community goals and war zones, they will pop up anywhere but likely to be confine Anarchy systems and Empire control systems and will be combination of NPCs and real players.
