The question of whether P=NP is an important topic in

theoretical computer science and applied mathematics. It

seems likely that the answer to the questions P =NP? is

false. However, if it turns out to be true, what would it

mean to everyone else?

Microtargeting through Social Networks Microtargeting is (also called micro-targeting or micro-niche targeting) is a marketing strategy that uses consumer data

and demographics to identify the interests of specific individuals or very small groups of like-minded individuals and

influence their thoughts or actions.

Weaponizing IT

Weaponized information is a message or content piece that is designed to affect the recipient's perception

about something or someone in a way that is not warranted. The term implies a target and the intention to

cause harm.

The goal of weaponized information is bringing about a change in beliefs and attitudes and, as a result,

promote behavior that serves the attacker's purpose. Attacks involving weaponized information are

sometimes referred to as cognitive hacking.

Artificial Organ Generation/Transplanting We are the Borg

Organs that have been successfully 3D printed and implemented in a clinical setting are either flat, such as skin, vascular, such as blood vessels, or hollow, such as the bladder. When artificial organs are prepared for transplantation, they are often produced with the recipient's own cells.

The Internet is Lovely, Dark, and Deep

The deep web, invisible web, or hidden web are parts of the World

Wide Web whose contents are not indexed by standard web search

engines for any reason. The opposite term to the deep web is the

surface web, which is accessible to anyone using the Internet.

Computer scientist Michael K. Bergman is credited with coining the

term deep web in 2001 as a search indexing term. The content of the

deep web is hidden behind HTML forms, and includes many very

common uses such as web mail, online banking and services that

users must pay for, and which is protected by a paywall, such as

video on demand, some online magazines and newspapers, and

many more.

The dark web is a part of the world wide web that requires special

software (e.g.Tor) to access. Once inside, web sites and other

services can be accessed through a browser in much the same way

as the normal web. However, some sites are effectively hidden, in

that they have not been indexed by a search engine and can only be

accessed if you know the address of the site. Special markets also

operate within the dark web called, darknet markets, which mainly

sell illegal products like drugs and firearms, paid for in

cryptocurrency .

Quantum Computing The Dark Side

The dark side of quantum computers. ... The era of fully fledged quantum computers threatens to destroy internet security

as we know it. Researchers are in a race against time to prepare new cryptographic techniques before the arrival of quantum

computers, as cryptographers now describe.

Self-Driving Cars Technical & Legal Issues

Cloud Mining

Bitcoin Miners run software to find the key that will open a digital padlock. Once their computer finds it, the box pops open and the transactions are verified. For finding that "needle in a haystack" key, the miner gets a reward of newly generated bitcoins. Cloud Mining is the process of bitcoin mining utilizing a remote datacenter with shared processing power. This type of cloud mining enables users to mine bitcoins or alternative cryptocurrencies without managing the hardware.

Total Information Awareness T is for...Terrorist

Total Information Awareness (TIA) is the name of a massive U.S. data mining project focused on scanning travel, financial

and other data from public and private sources with the goal of detecting and preventing transnational threats to national

security. TIA has also been called Terrorism Information Awareness. The program was part of the Homeland Security Act and,

after its creation in January 2003, was managed by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA). In September

2003, U.S. Congressional negotiators agreed to terminate the program and ceased funding. in 2006, however, news agencies

reported that software developed for it had been shifted to other agencies, specifically the National Security Agency (NSA).
