""This is a real concern," Schmidt said. "It is harmful to election integrity, and it is harmful to members of the immigrant community who are applying for citizenship. If you've registered to vote in the U.S., and you're not a citizen, it's potential grounds for the denial of your citizenship application."

Hubble Reveals an Odd Object In the Asteroid Belt Between Mars and Jupiter - The Daily Galaxy --Great Discoveries Channel:
"In September 2016, just before the asteroid 288P made its closest approach to the Sun, it was close enough to Earth to allow astronomers using the Hubble Space Telescope to observe the intriguing characteristics of an unusual type of object in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter: two asteroids orbiting each other and exhibiting comet-like features, including a bright coma and a long tail.
This is the first known binary asteroid also classified as a comet.
The images of 288P, which is located in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter, revealed that it was actually not a single object, but two asteroids of almost the same mass and size, orbiting each other at a distance of about 100 kilometers..."

"Author of Humans vs. Computers, Gojko Adzic, picks his top five biggest tech mistakes of all time…
Humans have become increasingly reliant on technology to help ease and automate processes in our personal and professional lives. We’ve become so reliant in fact, that automation is expected to replace 25 million jobs within the next ten years.
Given that 30% of UK industries are expected to be automated by 2037, we’re facing the very real idea that robots and humans will be working side by side each day. This brings with it many benefits including freeing up humans for more complicated tasks and roles. However, it also means that robots, who rely on algorithms to run systems and calculations, will be at risk for huge mistakes.
As such, here are the top five biggest tech blunders in recent history that led to massive losses because of computer error. The are some of the worst, but serve as a reminder of similar crises...5 – Amster-damn!
In 2013, Amsterdam surprised 9,000 of its poor residents with an early Christmas gift. Through a mathematical error and miscalculation of decimals, like in our #3 example, the city council ended up paying out house assistance benefits in Euros rather than cents.
The mistake ended up costing the council a total of €188 million, rather than €1.88 million..."

It looks like Obama did spy on Trump, just as he apparently did to me | TheHill:
"Nobody wants our intel agencies to be used like the Stasi in East Germany; the secret police spying on its own citizens for political purposes. The prospect of our own NSA, CIA and FBI becoming politically weaponized has been shrouded by untruths, accusations and justifications.
You’ll recall DNI Clapper falsely assured Congress in 2013 that the NSA was not collecting “any type of data at all on millions or hundreds of millions of Americans.”"

AI Just Made Guessing Your Password a Whole Lot Easier - Slashdot:
"sciencehabit shares a report from Science Magazine:
The Equifax breach is reason for concern, of course, but if a hacker wants to access your online data by simply guessing your password, you're probably toast in less than an hour.
Now, there's more bad news: Scientists have harnessed the power of artificial intelligence (AI) to create a program that, combined with existing tools, figured more than a quarter of the passwords from a set of more than 43 million LinkedIn profiles..."
