Attached to: Apple's Use Of 'Sapphire' in iPhone Camera Lens Questioned in New Tests
I suspect a lens made entirely of sapphire glass would have pretty shitty optics. Using it as a cover would allow improved scratch protection and retain acceptable optical properties. Not much different than putting a lens protector over a camera lens. What's the problem?

Attached to: Akamai Kicked Journalist Brian Krebs' Site Off Its Servers After He Was Hit By a Record Cyberattack
I read somewhere that there was no contract but rather Akamai was providing the service pro-bono.
If that's the case, and it was starting to impact paying customers, it's an understandable move.

Attached to: Malware Can Use Fan Noise To Steal Data From Air-Gapped Systems
Pretty neat idea but in every air-gapped environment I've worked in, getting the cellphone or recording device in would be the more difficult portion of this exercise.

If it's reflective of the content being indexed, the only way to "correct this bias" is to add bias.
You can't keep arguing for equality while at the same time highlighting differences.
