- - -One vulnerability they discovered—in a high-speed vote-tabulating system used to count votes for entire counties in 23 states—could allow an attacker to remotely hijack the system over a network and alter the vote count, changing results for large blocks of voters. "Hacking just one of these machines could enable an attacker to flip the Electoral College and determine the outcome of a presidential election," the authors of the report warned.
SEC Sues Elon Musk. From C|Net:

More on Elon Musk. From Gizmodo:
[Elon Musk is] accused of tweeting on LSD, sued for defamation by a cave diver he called “pedo guy,” given a “weepy” interview to the New York Times, and admitted that this whole going private thing just isn’t going to work out.I dunno...seems like the SEC is overreacting and over-reaching.
Among other things, the SEC wants Musk to pay civil penalties and be “prohibited from acting as an officer or director of any issuer that has a class of securities registered pursuant to Section 12 of the Exchange Act.”

ZD Net: New AI can identify guns in crowds and alert authorities about an active shooter.
The trick during development was to create a computer vision algorithm that continuously monitors cameras without reporting too many false positives, a weakness of past attempts at AI gun detection technology.- - -
And "they" say there's no way to meet new people these days. More than you care to know about fecal transplants. Geek:

Tech News World - Poorly designed websites no excuse for Terms of Agreement "fine print".
...legally valid sales agreements need to demonstrate clearly that both vendors and consumers are aware of -- and consent to -- the terms of the agreements. It is especially important for vendors to ward off expensive class action suits by including contract terms that prohibit such suits and instead rely on arbitration to resolve any issues with consumers.
Yet recent federal court cases indicate that poorly presented Internet contracts can result in the nullification of arbitration provisions and class action prohibitions -- thus giving consumers greater leverage in legal disputes with vendors.

Extreme Tech - NASA determines why earth wobbles on Axis:
The other two "wobbly Axis" contributing factors are, oddly, the same: The Lard Lad Michael Moore's spatial relationship at any moment and point on the earth in relation to the specific location to the rest of the world's 99% human population.NASA says it has now pinned down three causes for this shift. As expected, the loss of polar ice is a major contributor.
