A ransomware attack has struck computers across the globe, taking out servers at Russia's biggest oil company, disrupting operations at Ukrainian banks and shutting down computers at multinational shipping and advertising firms. An adviser to Ukraine's Interior Minister said the virus got into computer systems via "phishing" emails written in Russian and Ukrainian, designed to lure employees into opening them. According to the state security agency, the emails contained infected Word documents or PDF files as attachments.

Google says its computers will soon stop reading the emails of its Gmail users to personalise their ads, a move that addresses a longstanding privacy concern about a product that is central to its growing corporate services business. The core unit of Alphabet has mined users’ emails for personal data to serve them more relevant ads since it launched Gmail in 2004, which almost immediately sparked privacy concerns.

The fact NBN Co has both “theoretical” speeds — the speeds it expects homes not yet connected will achieve — and actual speeds post-connection also raises questions as to the necessity of a $7 million federal government program to monitor connection speeds in 4000 homes. Industry experts interviewed by The Australian have raised concerns NBN Co has widespread detailed net speed information and is not releasing it publicly but only to retail telco providers, who may have financial incentives to suppress the information.

Experts believe the algorithms used to encrypt online messages will be useless in a decade or two, as computers become powerful enough to crack them. An alternative is to tag messages with light particles entangled with each other through the weird properties of quantum physics. However, until now, physicists have succeeded in transmitting entangled particles only about 100km. Over longer distances, light leaches out of the optical fibres used for ground-based telecommunications, which degrades the quantum signal.

More than half of all students starting a bachelor degree at an Australian university are now admitted on a basis other than their Australian Tertiary Admissions Rank (ATAR), despite this cohort having one of the highest dropout rates. Nearly 56 per cent of students commencing bachelor degrees were admitted based on criteria other than ATAR in 2015

Microsoft and developer Mojang have announced a significant update to Minecraft that will let people play and create together regardless of whether they're using mobile phones, game consoles or PCs. Dubbed the "Better Together" update, the changes to the immensely popular game were announced at Microsoft's media briefing ahead of this week's E3 expo in Los Angeles. Once the update rolls out in the coming months, the newest versions of the game — including the Pocket Edition, Xbox One Edition, Nintendo Switch edition and more — will be renamed simply to Minecraft and will become functionally identical.
Sydney taxis will be able to turn off their meters as part of a radical package of reforms designed to help them compete with ridesharing firms such as Uber. Although new regulations haven’t been finalised, fare deregulation will mean the end of fixed taxi fare rates. Passengers will hunt for the lowest fare they can get with various taxi firms and Uber, when they book a ride by phone or through an app.
In mixed and augmented reality, Apple could be the winner. It wasn’t the most prominent announcement, but this week Apple released ARKit, development software that will let coders build augmented reality experiences for iPhone and iPad. Already the developer community is buzzing, with some early applications already completed. Very soon iPhone users will be able to sample augmented reality applications of better quality than Pokemon Go, which introduced the globe to the AR concept.

The cocktail party problem refers to the challenge of following a single person’s speech in a room full of surrounding chatter and noise. With a little concentration, humans can focus in on what a particular person is saying. But when we want technology to separate the speech of a targeted person from the simultaneous conversations of others—as we do with hands-free telephony when a caller is in a car with kids in the back seat—the results leave much to be desired. Until now, that is, says Mitsubishi Electric. The company demonstrated its speech separation technology at its annual R&D Open House in Tokyo on 24 May. In one type of demonstration, two people spoke a sentence in different languages simultaneously into a single microphone.

There’s no doubt that some drone owners will see this as a company trying to crack down on what they’re allowed to do with a piece of hardware they purchased. As someone with pervasive concerns for how personal data is used and sold these days, I’m sympathetic to some of those arguments. Drones can serve incredibly valuable functions, from remote delivery or gathering footage as part of a story, to getting a view of a problem or unfolding situation that would be impossible to source in any other way. The flip side to this equation, of course, is that drone strikes and near-misses have skyrocketed in recent years. Some have argued that the FAA has overblown the risk of a drone strike, given the small size and lightweight design of most drones. But trying to quickly determine whether a drone is of a type that could cause plane damage while closing on the diminutive craft is clearly not an option.

"In lessons involving direct instruction, teachers can teach 40 or 50 students as easily as 20," Mr Bowden said. "But with numeracy, for example, we know these 10 students need remedial work and one teacher can take them aside while a different teachers takes all the students who are on track. "It's a recognition that students learn at difference paces." Schools should either move all classes to a composite structure, or none, Associate Professor Linley Cornish said. "Schools only having some composite classes sets up a stigma, and parents start to think, 'should my child be in a different class, is my child being disadvantaged?'," she said.
As a keen, heavy investor in Bitcoin was quoted as saying last week: “I think that something has to replace the current monetary insanity. It may or may not be Bitcoin. I don’t know what it is. I’m worried about the system — the integrity of the system. You can’t navigate that by working within the system. You have to be outside the system. Bitcoin is outside the system.”

Blockchain’s public interface, at its most basic, is a string of shared data made up of a series of uniquely ordered alphabetical letters and numbers, timestamped and immutable. Yet, through this, blockchain can fundamentally change existing organisational structures, not merely as an evolutionary development, but potentially as a transformational technology. While it continues to develop, we need explore the opportunities that blockchain technology can offer and the consequences of not getting it right. We are living in a world where ‘for good’ has become zeitgeist and is often interpreted as 'social good'. However to set the scene of the discussion it is really important to note that 'for good' is not limited to non-profit activities or the third sector. There are incredibly varied views of what 'for good' means – for creative industries, it is transparency and fair distribution of royalties; for refugees, it is establishing or protecting identity; for charities, it is about accountability; and for government, it is about delivering better services to the public.

The ransomware strain WannaCry (also known as WanaCrypt0r and WCry) that caused Friday’s barrage appears to be a new variant of a type that first appeared in late March. This new version has only gained steam since its initial barrage, with tens of thousands of infections in 74 countries so far today as of publication time. Its reach extends beyond the UK and Spain, into Russia, Taiwan, France, Japan, and dozens more countries. One reason WannaCry has proven so vicious? It seems to leverage a Windows vulnerability known as EternalBlue that allegedly originated with the NSA.

SINCE TWO-FACTOR AUTHENTICATION became the norm for web services that care about securing your accounts, it’s started to feel like a security blanket, an extra layer keeping your data safe no matter whether your password is as strong as 8$&]$@I)9[P&4^s or as dumb as dadada.

Tensions between the NBN Co, which is owned by the federal government, and internet retailers erupted yesterday after The Australian produced five case studies of Telstra customers reporting substandard internet speeds.

"Don't teach your kids coding," says New York Times journalist Thomas Friedman. "Well – teach it if you want. But before you teach them coding, teach them digital civics: how to talk to one another on the internet, how to understand fact from fiction." The internet is a sewer "of untreated, unfiltered information," he told his audience of teachers and international education leaders at a conference in Dubai on the weekend, "and if we don't build the values filters so our children can interact in this environment, with real values ... we have a real problem."

“The whole direction when you were sent to school is about getting to university, and the whole focus of year 11 and 12 is what mark you get. We’ve become a nation that’s testing people all the time, when we need to become a nation that’s skilling people,” she told news.com.au. Ms Westacott said the way the Australian school system was set up — with targets to complete a year 12 education — was misguided, and that kids should be free to make informed choices about continuing their education from year nine.

THE NSA, IT seems, isn’t the only American spy agency hacking the world. Judging by a new, nearly 9,000-page trove of secrets from WikiLeaks, the CIA has developed its own surprisingly wide array of intrusion tools, too. On Tuesday morning, WikiLeaks released what it’s calling Vault 7, an unprecedented collection of internal CIA files—what appear to be a kind of web-based Wiki—that catalog the agency’s apparent hacking techniques. And while the hoards of security researchers poring through the documents have yet to find any actual code among its spilled secrets, it details surprising capabilities, from dozens of exploits targeting Android and iOS to advanced PC-compromise techniques and detailed attempts to hack Samsung smart TVs, turning them into silent listening devices.

The Horizon Report: 2016 K-12 Edition, a report which provides a technology forecast for educational institutions, suggests virtual reality (VR) will be adopted by classrooms within two to three years. Even though virtual reality has started to take off in sectors like news making, gaming and digital marketing, the education sector does not seem to have the range of great experiences that VR can offer. While there are no doubt other benefits to using this technology, I think that VR technologies will have a positive impact in the areas of inspiring wonder and curiosity, developing new creative skills and offering authentic “learn by doing” experiences. Judging from the work that is being done in education around VR though, I feel that the most powerful learning experiences are those that foster community and collaboration, and empower the user to empathise.

A new provision is being inserted into the AANA Code of Ethics requiring advertising and marketing communication to be "clearly distinguishable as such to the relevant audience". Influencers must ensure any paid content is marked and cannot "camouflage the fact that it is advertising". The practice of businesses working with influencers has come under increasing scrutiny, with Media Watch investigating influencers such as chef Matt Moran, who was paid to send tweets recommending Kangaroo Island and failed to disclose the payment. More recently author and entrepreneur Zoe Foster Blake was criticised for posting a photo to Instagram of her fridge filled with YouFoodz products that she received for free.
Black Sage’s headquarters in Boise, Idaho, and spent a year enhancing their system so that it can now not only track drones but also bring them safely to the ground using radio-frequency-jamming technology. There is only one small hitch: Like almost every drone-interdiction technology in development, frequency jammers run afoul of several US laws, most of which were passed when people hadn’t dreamed of owning their own unmanned aircraft. Romero and Lamm’s solution to the mock terror in the stadium—a solution that they have shown can reliably counter the threats drones pose to targets as varied as prisons, airports, and arenas—is illegal here, which leaves the future of Black Sage’s technology, like the future of drones themselves, very much up in the air.

But for those suffering nostalgia for the ideal of secure, high-wage manufacturing in the rust belt – it's not going to happen. On one hand, manufacturing automation is not about to be reversed, while on the other, the US has lost the capability to feed, run and maintain many modern factories. The most commonly-given reason for Trump's "bringing the jobs back" chant being a lie is that most of the jobs weren't "stolen" by China and Mexico in the first place and they therefore can't be "brought back". There have been various studies attempting to allocate responsibility between automation and cheap foreign labour. The highest score I've seen for automation's role is a massive 85 per cent, as summarised by the Financial Times:
START-ups with a great idea but which lack a technical founder on their team have found a new home in Adelaide’s Moonshine Laboratory. Spun out of Adelaide marketing agency The Distillery, Moonshine has already welcomed two start-ups into the fold and has another in talks.

Game-playing AI has found solutions to some versions of poker. But heads-up, no-limit Texas Hold’em represents an especially complex challenge with 10160 possible plays at different stages of the game (possibly more than the number of atoms in the universe). Such complexity exists because this two-player version of poker allows for unrestricted bet sizes. To deal with such a game, many AI rely on a technique called counterfactual regret minimization (CFR). Typical CFR algorithms try to solve games such as poker through several steps at each decision point. First, they come up with counterfactual values representing different game outcomes. Second, they apply a regret minimization approach to see which strategy leads to the best outcome. And third, they typically average the most recent strategy with all past strategies.

Our team at USC has conducted the largest analyses1 of STEM depictions in motion pictures to date. We examined 129 G-, PG-, and PG-13-rated top-grossing films from 2006 to 2011. Only 26 females with STEM jobs were depicted on screen across 5,839 speaking characters. Of those 26 females, consider the following disturbing trends: Only three were African-American—two in life or physical sciences, one engineer. Only one woman was depicted as a mathematician. She was white, shown in a low-cut, tight-fitting Santa suit, and was shown estimating the production time for toys on the North Pole’s assembly line. This problem goes beyond American films. In a follow-up study, we assessed 120 movies released between 2010 and 2013 in 10 top international film markets. Out of 5,799 characters, 121 held a STEM job. Of these characters, only 14 were female and there were no mathematicians. No females in STEM were African-American.

Even if Telstra runs copper to your home, the cable access maps aren't updated after it's laid in your street so they don't acknowledge the existence of new dwellings.
