Facebook successfully ported its SQL-powered detection tool, osquery, to Windows this week, giving users a free and open source method to monitor networks and diagnose problems. SELECT hackers FROM network

DELETE hackers FROM network. 
The title had me thinking that Farcebook was providing a tool that detected open source on Windows!

Government can give you nothing but what it takes from somebody else. A government big enough to give you everything you want is big enough to take everything you've got, including your freedom.-Ezra Taft Benson
You must accept 1 of 2 basic premises: Either we are alone in the universe or we are not alone. Either way, the implications are staggering!-Wernher von Braun

In an act of self-governance, these five companies came together today to announce the launch the new Partnership on AI. "Politics makes strange bedfellows." (and the fear of politicians equally so)

D-Wave, a Canadian company developing the first commercial “quantum computer,” announced its next-generation quantum annealing computer with 2,000 qubits, which is twice as many as its previous generation had. Mo' quantums, mo' better?
|
|
|
|
|
It's worth noting that the claims that D-wave are making are disputed by the leading experts - it's seems to be a case similar cold fusion.
This is a pretty good critique of dwave: http://news.mit.edu/2015/3q-scott-aaronson-google-quantum-computing-paper-1211

Microsoft’s addition in the collation to securely transmit data in a global economy comes just days after cloud storage competitors Dropbox and Google (among others) also adopted the Privacy Shield agreement. Because Microsoft and privacy fit together so well

Mastercard launched an ambitious open Mastercard Developers platform today to help third-party developers easily create commerce-related apps and services. And of course, it's priceless

Well, I guess NOW we finally know the most popular languages.

A federal court in California denied Oracle another trial in its longstanding copyright infringement dispute with Google over the use of Java code in the Android operating system. "This is the end, beautiful friend"

Maybe they'll sell more phones by not making them?

Researchers working in Germany and the UK have discovered that Nitrogen-Vacancy defects in diamond can be used to create a magnetometer capable of detecting the broadband magnetic signals generated by HDD write-heads.
They've shown it possible at nano-meter resolution, to detect the static and oscillating fields associated with a write-head, a move that is expected to further shrink hard-drives since currently, the industry have no devices capable of 5-10nm resolution.
Comes with diamonds, fricken' lasers and exciting colour-change technology..

OK, they can read data at extremely high densities. Can they also write it?
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

Right now they don't know if they can do either. What they've done isn't to create a new read head, it was to invent a hardware debugger for smaller write heads. In a few years we'll probably find out if they've managed to make read/write heads work at that scale in lab. Currently they've been blocked by not being able to see what the prototype write heads were actually doing.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Or maybe it will just be a bunch of NAND flash chips, a DRAM, and a controller.

The most advanced 2D NAND chips currently have cells sizes of about 15-20 nanometers, and store 3 bits per cell. Using 3D technologies, it is likely that NAND chips will easily achieve a 2D density higher than 5 nanometers, assuming this hasn't been done already.
