Facebook Messenger Now Supports End-To-End Encryption

Back in July, Facebook announced they were testing end-to-end encrypted conversations for their Messenger platform, and it is now available to all Messenger users. The new security feature comes in form of an incognito mode called ‘Secret Conversations’, and Facebook has made it optional so that you can choose to either enable or disable the feature for your account. It’s different from the general encryption that WhatsApp uses but is more identical to the incognito chat on Google Allo and Snapchat.

A Lesson of Tesla Crashes?

Computer Vision Can’t Do It All Yet

Jitendra Malik, a researcher in computer vision for three decades, doesn’t own a Tesla, but he has advice for people who do. “Knowing what I know about computer vision, I wouldn’t take my hands off the steering wheel,” he said.

Dr. Malik, a professor at the University of California, Berkeley, was referring to a fatal crash in May of a Tesla electric car that was equipped with its Autopilot driver-assistance system. An Ohio man was killed when his Model S car, driving in the Autopilot mode, crashed into a tractor-trailer.
