FCC
Shielding Evidence Of Suspected Russian Role In Ending Net
Neutrality: Lawsuit
The
American public is a victim of an “orchestrated campaign by the
Russian to corrupt” democratic rule-making, The New York Times
argues.
The Federal
Communications Commission has obstinately hidden information
concerning its system for gathering public input about its unpopular
plan to kill net
neutrality — regardless of signs of Russian manipulation of the
comment procedure, according to a New York Times lawsuit.
The newspaper’s Freedom of Information Act
requests concerning the comment system were turned down repeatedly by
the FCC as the Times attempted to investigate possible influence by
Russia after huge numbers of comments were linked to Russian emails.
Stonewalling by the FCC has made the the American
public the “victim
of an orchestrated campaign by the Russians to corrupt the
notice-and-comment process and undermine an important step in the
democratic process of rule-making,” states the Times’ lawsuit,
which was filed Thursday in U.S.District Court in the Southern
District of New York.
The agency also ignored
similar demands — at least nine times — from the New York
attorney general last year as his office investigated millions of
suspicious comments.

Transparency challenges stand in the way of ambient computing
… For example, if you tell an Echo speaker,
“Alexa, good night,” it might say in response, “By the way,
your living room light is on. Do you want me to turn it off?”
This sort of personalized, contextual experience —
commonly referred to as ambient
computing — was once the stuff of science fiction, but
advancements in artificial intelligence (and ambitious new startups
taking full advantage of those advancements) are fast making it a
reality.

A great many websites are run using a trio of
services: Apache, MySQL, and PHP. It is a tried and tested
combination which works phenomenally well, most of the time.
