Brave, a lesser known but perfectly fine browser, launched a new version today that features a private browsing mode that automatically starts inside a Tor session. So, it only goes to the Tor.com website?

LTE was supposed to fix security and privacy shortcomings—now it's broken, too. I guess it's back to just shouting at one another?

As they're British, wouldn't it be MUMI?

It's a variation on BitTorrent, with all it's accompanying problems (especially huge deltas in speeds and data caps.)

Deep learning is the hottest branch of A.I., but it might not be all that deep. Is our AI learning?

While credit card or social security numbers weren't put in danger, sensitive data including personal interests, home and email addresses, religious beliefs, smoking status, phone numbers, and even the number, age and sex of a family's children -- were all visible They are in the business of sharing data...

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

So a "leak" is nothing more than a data share that they weren't paid for.

Our galaxy is rich in grease-like molecules, according to new research. Astronomers used a laboratory to manufacture material with the same properties as interstellar dust and used their results to estimate the amount of 'space grease' found in the Milky Way. Butterfat?

We will have to leave it for a skimmed milky Way version?

Last year, the Solar System was treated to its first known tourist. 'Oumuamua, an odd, cigar-shaped body, shot through our neighborhood at high speed, following an orbit that indicates it arrived from somewhere else. Exactly what I feel like doing these days

Computer scientists at the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) have developed a completely new kind of algorithm, one that exponentially speeds up computation by dramatically reducing the number of parallel steps required to reach a solution. All our performance problems solved! Lunch break time!

Finally, the WAG (Wild-Ass Guess) has been standardized...

In contrast, this new algorithm samples a variety of directions in parallel. Based on that sample, the algorithm discards low-value directions from its search space and chooses the most valuable directions to progress towards a solution.
Either the article oversimplifies the process or I, and anyone else who has used this approach in the last 30 years, should have patented the damn thing.
Like, Holy Infinity, Batman! As JSOP so succinctly put it: Parallel WAGS!
