Election hacking was a topic we discussed in an information security class I took back in 2011. Unless the systems have improved drastically, this is a very real concern.

True visionaries. (via glassfeatures)
I believe we have found the "perfect storm" for AR. We'll see if the hype fizzles out in a week or 2.
The opportunities Silicon Valley doesn’t see
Silicon Valley is justifiably seen as the geographical center of digital innovation. From Google and Facebook to Uber and Netflix, the Valley is home to many global technology leaders. However, when searching for the next big startup, the time has come to look beyond Silicon Valley.
The opportunity
It seems that most Western startups are focused on “assisted living for rich hipsters” rather than solving some of the “big” needs the world is facing.
In the next five years, 2.5 billion new smartphone users will come online — 80 percent from emerging markets. This will inevitably lead to growing numbers of local entrepreneurs creating innovative solutions bespoke to the needs of their region and, in the process, building highly successful businesses. It’s highly likely that, in the future, some of the biggest digital innovations will come from markets outside of the West.
The proof
This trend has already started; an example can be found in our portfolio company redBus in India. Before redBus, travellers in India had to negotiate myriad bus companies with conflicting timetables, resulting in immense confusion when working out the various connections needed for cross-country trips. redBus aggregated this complex market onto one simple bus ticketing platform for all of India. It is now being rolled out to Malaysia, Singapore and other international markets.
GO-JEK is another shining example. This company has mobilized more than 200,000 motorbike riders in 10 major Indonesian cities to solve a number of logistics requirements, from couriering to food delivery.
The stage is now set for new digital innovation hubs to rise up in high-growth markets across the globe.
Similarly, TruckPad, another Naspers investment, began as a small venture that displaced physical advert boards at petrol stations using a mobile app. Now, more than 350,000 Brazilian truck drivers bid for more than a million truck loads on TruckPad every month.
These businesses would never have been created in Silicon Valley because they address problems that simply do not exist there. But they did solve problems that billions of people in high-growth markets face every day.
Where next?
Opportunities to solve local challenges in high-growth markets are abundant across a range of industries.
Globally, 1.2 billion people still do not have access to electricity. More than one-third of the world’s population doesn’t have proper access to healthcare or education. There are around 2.5 billion unbanked people in the world and 2.2 billion live in high-growth markets such as Africa, Asia, Latin America and the Middle East.
These are profound social issues, but also large commercial opportunities. The 2.5 billion new smartphone users in emerging markets offer a powerful platform for local tech entrepreneurs and their businesses. Businesses like Jumo and M-KOPA.
Jumo is a money marketplace offering mobile users in Sub-Saharan Africa access to loans, by-passing the traditional banking system. Meanwhile, M-KOPA offers Kenyan households an affordable solar energy solution enabled by a pay-as-you-go mobile billing solution.
The world still faces some enormous challenges when it comes to social mobility and economic prosperity, and necessity is the mother of invention. The stage is now set for new digital innovation hubs to rise up in high-growth markets across the globe. The next billion-dollar entrepreneurs will likely come from São Paulo, Bengaluru or Shenzhen, and they won’t be serving rich hipsters.

If you are in or plan on going into a field even related to software development, tonight's episode of Silicon Valley (titled "Daily Active Users" for those reading later) should be required viewing.
Gawker's Bankruptcy Is How a Free Press Dies, One VC at a Time By no means was how Gawker handled their coverage of Hulk Hogan right, and it's definitely an example of another moral argument we need to have, but I agree with many journalists that Thiel's involvement is chilling at best. It's one thing to ask for or organize a readership boycott, but using the monetary damages and legal fees of the judicial system to get revenge is not justice. This is blatant misuse of our courts, much like the many cases of patent trolls we sadly hear about. Based on the rhetoric he uses at his rallies, it's not hard to imagine a figure like Trump bullying the press with legal battles over much less dubious pieces about him, effectively silencing all of them in fear. This is definitely a matter we need to be aware of.

‘Atari - ‘Piracy: This Game Is Over’’
[MISC] [USA] [MAGAZINE] [1981]
Compute!, October 1981 (#17)
Uploaded by Jason Scott, via The Internet Archive
So while scouring these back issues of Compute! I found a lot of knock-off games that used ‘Asteroids’ in the title. Mildly amusing to see some would-bes try and cash-in on popular titles of the day with little change to it all, outside of a few extra words or punctuation. Turns out, Atari wasn’t amused, and released this message to any would-be programmers and pirates: that their titles are copyrighted, but they will gladly discuss licensing the names to any copycat to protect their brands.
In fact, the Burr-Feinstein bill is so bad for privacy that it may be good for privacy in the long run, say experts.

FCC magic will turn TV channels into mobile signals
For anyone in the U.S. who wants better cell coverage, an auction that began late Tuesday may be the start of a brighter future.
It will end with some TV channels reassigned to cellular, helping mobile networks cover more ground and cut through walls better than they do now.
That’s assuming enough broadcasters want to participate and mobile operators don’t get sticker shock. Both have to play, because this is the first auction of its kind anywhere. It’s two auctions in one, really.
This all came about because over-the-air TV doesn’t need as much spectrum as it did before the digital transition. Meanwhile, mobile networks need more of it to keep up with everything people use their phones for, including a lot of the entertainment they used to get from TV.

we live in the worst possible cyberpunk future
And she was already deleted by Microsoft because her responses are learned from people and shitty people turned her into a fucking nazi/sex slave/misogynist in less than 24 hours. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/2016/03/24/microsofts-teen-girl-ai-turns-into-a-hitler-loving-sex-robot-wit/
