    In the year since Edward Snowden's leaks lifted the veil on the National Security Agency's massive global surveillance apparatus, the powerful online anonymity tool known as Tor has been downloaded about 120 million times, according to Andrew Lewman, the Tor project's executive director.

    One year after the first revelations of Edward Snowden, cryptography has shifted from an obscure branch of computer science to an almost mainstream notion: It's possible, user privacy groups and a growing industry of crypto-focused companies tell us, to encrypt everything from emails to IMs to a gif of a motorcycle jumping over a plane.

  • Doctor X is a trained physician that works on harm reduction projects in real life but helps Silk Road users in his free time by providing answers to any of their questions—all for free. He started in June 2013, and received 600 questions and 5,000 visits after just three months. In an interview with Joseph Cox of Vice, Doctor X said: "Drug users need more...They need answers, and that's what I try to provide. People ask me about the real risks and adverse effects, drug combinations [illegal and prescriptive] and the use of drugs in persons suffering from different conditions, such as diabetes or neurological problems."

      This intrigues me for the same reason Wikipedia does -- it allows an almost endless amount of knowledge to anyone who knows how to seek it.

    Most mainstream media coverage has derided the Deep Web as a hub of child pornography and hitmen for hire. But though there may be depraved activities facilitated by the underground network, there are also many upstanding individuals using marketplaces like the Silk Road to ease the pain of unjust laws and otherwise do good.

    Article talks about basically the Black Market of the internet. Not directly useful, but I could work it in if I gear my topic towards the freedom and benefits of deep web surfing.

    AS THE Iraqi government censors large swathes of the internet following devastating attacks and victories by the militant group Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS), thousands of people are turning to the deep, anonymous web. Locals are adopting the browser Tor, the most popular anonymising tool online, to get around government obstruction, the Daily Dot reported.

    If you want to use the internet and you don't want the National Security Agency to see what you're doing, you would likely turn to Tor, a network that anonymizes web traffic by bouncing it between servers. The NSA has been working on ways to get around " the Tor problem" for years with limited success.

    The government's campaign for online censorship has created a backlash, with the number of Russia-based users of anonymous web surfing software Tor more than doubling in the past three weeks. The Tor network, which allows users to anonymously visit websites blocked in their country, numbered almost 200,000 users from Russia on Wednesday, compared to some 80,000 as of June 1, according to official statistics for Tor usage on Torproject.org.

    Pandemics. Global warming. Food shortages. No more fossil fuels. What are humans to do? The same thing the species has done before: evolve to meet the challenge. But this time we don’t have to rely on natural evolution to make us smart enough to survive. We can do it ourselves, right now, by harnessing technology and pharmacology to boost our intelligence. Is Google actually making us smarter?

    Will Facebook affect your mood
  • majeeds on 26 Jun 14
     
    Using Facebook makes people sadder, at least according to some research. But just what is it about the social network that takes a hit on our mood? A study of the different ways of interacting with the site now offers an answer: Grazing on the content of other people's idealized lives may make reality painful.

10 Robots That Will Probably Kill Us in the Coming Decade - Topless Robot - Nerd news, ... - 3 views

  • As our technology in robotics continues to improve, there's pretty much zero chance we'll avoid creating a robot that will kill humans -- the only two questions are 1) will we do this accidentally or on purpose, and 2) how many humans will these robots kill, some or all?

      It's sad to find that we are creating robots with intention to kill humans.  Purpose of robots?

      Examples of robots that have potential to kill humans.  The more I research on the types of robots, I can have more knowledge on the root and the cause of robotics technology advancement.

    ​Well, it's officially the future. We've passed the first decade of the 21st Century and are now moving forward into the years that much of science fiction speculated about. Of primary concern are robots (science fiction is pretty much 95% robot-related stories, and 5% giant insects).

    One of the great things about robots so far is that while, sure, they have superhuman strength, they're generally dumb as a bag of doorknobs. It's very satisfying to push around some robot who's just standing there like a jerk, waiting for you to order him to lift a can or run in place.
