Self-driving Google car collision – Aftenposten



Ulykken med bilen fra det Google-eide selskapet Alphabet skjedde 14. februar i Mountain View i California og førte bare til mindre, materielle skader.

Den selvkjørende bilen, en Lexus RX450h, skulle svinge rundt noen sandsekker da den traff bussen.

Ifølge Google hadde bilen en fart på bare 3 kilometer i timen, mens bussen holdt rundt 25 kilometer i timen. Både kjøretøyet og testsjåføren om bord antok at bussen ville senke farten for å la bilen passere, men det skjedde ikke.

Google innrømmer ifølge Reuters at selskapet har «noe skyld» i ulykken, i og med at bilen deres faktisk var i bevegelse. Videre sier de programvaren som styrer bilen er blitt endret i etterkant.

I november sa Google at i løpet av seks år med selvkjøerende biler har disse vært involvert i 17 mindre ulykker. Bilene har lagt bak seg mer enn 3,2 millioner kilometer alene eller sammen med en testkjører.

Ifølge selskapet var ikke Google-bilene skyld i noen av de 17 ulykkene.

Danske developed program that tracks sleep habits of Facebook friends – ITavisen.no

Saying that the goal was to raise awareness of digital footprint.

Are you aware how many digital footprints you put on the web and in social media? Well, there are many. Very many.

Activity Data
The Danish software developer Søren Louvet-Jansen has developed a small tool that allows you to track the sleep habits of Facebook friends.

to make this possible, used Louvet-Jansen information directly from Facebook. Every Messenger user leaves timestamps by activity, and since so many people use Messenger before retiring and as soon as they wake up, it was easy for the Dane to extract some information. This only works on active users.

Facebook is no trailer
He has now published the source code on GitHub, so others can check out the tool. Dog is not Facebook as excited about the work of Louvet-Jansen.

In an interview with The Washington Post he says that Facebook has asked him to dissuade other users to test out the program when it breaks the social medium’s guidelines.

Over 1,000 people should have already downloaded the code, according to Dane, who refuses to remove it from GitHub.

– the idea mine was not spying on my friends. I want people to be more aware that they leave digital footprints wherever they go, says Louvet-Jansen to The Washington Post.

KKK supports Donald Trump – NRK



Den tidligere lederen av Ku Klux Klan, David Duke, skal ha oppfordret folk til å jobbe frivillig for Trump, og at å ikke stemme på mangemilliardæren vil være et forræderi mot en hvite arv.

Foto: BURT STEEL / Ap

Under et intervju med CNN søndag kveld ble mangemilliardæren og mannen som ligger best an til å bli Republikanernes presidentkandidat konfrontert med støtten fra den kjente rasisten.

Kjente ikke til Duke

– Jeg vet ikke hvilken gruppe du snakker om. Du vil ikke at jeg skal fordømme en gruppe jeg ikke aner noe om, sa Trump om den beryktede rasistorganisasjonen.

Det til tross for at han tidligere har kjent til og tatt avstand fra akkurat den samme Duke da de begge var tilknyttet Reform Party i 2000.

Men bare timer senere skjønte Trump hva han burde ha svart CNN, og tvitret sitt svar.

Angrep Trump

Men da var det for sent. Både John Kasich og Ted Cruz fordømte Trumps kommentar.

På Twitter sier Cruz at alle må være enige om at rasisme er galt og at Ku Klux Klan er avskyelig.

Den demokratisk kandidaten Bernie Sanders kom også med en fordømmelse.

«Amerikas første svarte president kan ikke og skal ikke etterfølges av en hatformidler som nekter å fordømme Ku Klux Klan», tvitret han. Og i et sjeldent tilfelle av enighet retvitret Hillary Clinton Sanders’ tweet.

Anti-Defamation League er en av flere borgerrettsorganisasjoner som har bedt Trump avvise støtte fra Duke og andre rasister. Ifølge organisasjonen oppfordret Duke nylig velgerne til å jobbe frivillig for Trump-kampanjen. Duke sa på sitt radioprogram at å stemme mot Trump er å oppfatte som forræderi mot ens arv, noe som er et kodeord for hvit arv.

Leder på meningsmålingene

I de fire sørstatene Mississippi, Alabama, Tennessee og Kentucky får Trump støtte fra over 40 prosent av de republikanske og uavhengige velgerne, viser en meningsmåling gjort av Ipsos for nyhetsbyrået Reuters.

I morgen skal Alabama og Tennessee holde nominasjonsvalg sammen med elleve andre delstater på den såkalte «supertirsdagen». I Kentucky holder republikanerne nominasjonsmøter den 5. mars, mens Mississippi følger etter tre dager senere.

Hvis verken Cruz eller Marco Rubio greier å markere seg i noen av delstatene, kan Donald Trump bli Republikanerens presidentkandidat.

Police warns against a new type of fraud – Rome Blad

(NETTAVISEN): The new bank cards with contactless payment made payment easier and faster, but it has also created new opportunities for criminals.

While the former had come into physical contact with a credit card to collect money and information, it is now possible to do this without physical contact with the card.

– We follow the developments and know which opportunities the pocket surfing. We have not registered any such cases in Oslo, said police superintendent Morten Drægni by reclamation group at the central police station in Oslo to Manager.

He said the public should nevertheless be aware that the cards can be tapped information, and that there are safeguards you can take to be safer.

– We are convinced that new technology will create new forms of criminal activity, he said.

in the UK there have been reports of thieves who use small mobile terminals to retrieve card information from victims’ credit cards while bank cards still in your pocket. Theoretically, it is possible to tap a card for a hundred pounds, but Drægni says that such a theft would leave many tracks.

To use such a terminal in Norway it must be registered on a person or a company, and money must go to you or your company, and the money must go to an account number in Norway.

– It is possible to while away the pocket surfing in Norway, but you want to leave a bunch of tracks, said Drægni.

But there are ways for crooks to extract information from these cards without leaving a trace. This information can then be used to, for example, buying goods and services online using your card.

– If you have an NFC (near field communication card in your pocket so it is possible to extract all the data from card apart from the three-digit security code behind the card. however, if you have two or more NFC cards that lie together in my pocket, and it shall not be possible to retrieve information, says Drægni.

He also recommends audience to check their statements to ensure that no account is deducted for amounts that you have not authorized.

– there are often talking about small amounts. Criminals speculates often pulling smaller amounts victims do not notice or do not bother to report. But when they pull small amounts from many, then it becomes a lot of money, he said.

Tens of thousands of users protesting against Netflix – ITavisen.no

VPN blockade arouses strong passions.

While Netflix continues to expand its blockade of VPN and proxy services are growing dissatisfaction among users of the service.

Read more of our coverage of Netflix here.

not only “VPN Pirates” that influenced
It is not only those who want to bypass geographic barriers that are affected by this blockade, but also those who use VPN to secure their communications. This has privacy activists and concerned users to see red. Now tens of thousands of users signed a campaign to get the company to reconsider standpoint her in this case.

We have written about this earlier in the case “now puts Netflix foot down for American Netflix in Norway “.

must please the industry
as a result of that Netflix will please the traditional film and television industry as it has become more difficult to use VPN services and proxies to access content outside your geographical location.

By using commercial blacklists then throws Netflix too wide nets in this case. This also affects the paying customers who only want to protect their privacy or other reasons use VPN services to secure their communications.

More popular services
TorrentFreak has held a eye on developments in this matter and have noted that servers from providers who ExpressVPN, Mullvad, PIA and StrongVPN has been added to the list of blocked services.

It is also now clear that multiple users are blocked although VPN server they use is the same country as the.

Ironically it also appears that Netflix also blocks access to their own content, which they therefore own the rights themselves.

Open Media takes up the battle
Netflix’s totalitarian approach to this problem is facing stiff opposition from several quarters, and now Open Media recorded game. Open Media is an organization for digital rights and encourage his campaign Netflix to rethink their approach. The campaign is already signed by over 33,000 people, according to TorrentFreak.

– Privacy is big priority for us as an organization for digital rights and VPN is perhaps the simplest and most user-friendly way as regular Internet users can protect their activities , says David Christopher spokesman for Open Media to TorrentFreak.

– in the context of the proportion of the population who use NetFlix it will be a huge step back if they all were forced to not use VPN, adds he added.

There are better methods
Open Media advocates that geo-blockades are an inefficient and small meshed way to solve the problem on. Like many before them they emphasize that a better solution would be to tie access to content to the address belonging to the credit card used for payment.

– We cook up (sic) up a plan to take this message directly to Netflix, and hope that if enough users say from then Netflix listen to their customers and find a better solution says Christopher to TorrentFreak.

In a shareholder interview last month said CEO of Netflix , Reed Hasting, they are unlikely to see any impact of this blockade in the number of users.

What do you think about that series and movies released in different areas at different times? Let’s hear your opinion in the comments.
