The dark side of artificial intelligence is doomsday scary - Sean Moncrieff

God be with the days when AI meant a fella coming to get the cows pregnant. Now it’s about the possible extinction of the human race. Artificial intelligence is everywhere. It’s in banks, in cameras on the street. All over your social media. It can make a medical diagnosis or compose music or play chess. If artificial intelligence was a TV character it would be a mix of Sheldon from  The Big Bang Theory  and a handsome doctor from  Grey’s Anatomy . New York City Council  is currently going through a process to establish exactly how many algorithms are involved in the governance of the city: because they don’t know how many there are. They do know that it’s involved in the allocation of police officers, food stamps and public housing. In other parts of the US, police departments have commissioned data companies to come up with ways of predicting crime. Yes, like the  Tom Cruise  film.

How to Secure Session Management in Node

In a web application, data is transferred from a browser to a server over HTTP. In modern applications, we use the HTTPS protocol, which is HTTP over TLS/SSL (secure connection), to transfer data securely. Looking at common use cases, we often encounter situations where we need to retain user state and information. However, HTTP is a stateless protocol. Sessions are used to store user information between HTTP requests. We can use sessions to store users' settings like when not authenticated. Post authentication sessions are used to identify authenticated users. Sessions fulfill an important role between user authentication and authorization. Exploring Sessions Traditionally, sessions are identifiers sent from the server and stored on the client-side. On the next request, the client sends the session token to the server. Using the identifier, the server can associate a request with a user. Session identifiers can be stored in cookies, localStorage, and sessionStorage. Session identi...
