Senators Who Voted "No" for the Re-Opening of the DDS Probe Due to Lascanas New Testimonies

The allies of Pres. Rody Duterte are now clear to his millions of followers and supporters on social media as they were surprised with the results of the recent Senate Voting wherein senators decided to allow or not to allow SPO3 Arthur Lascañas to testify against Pres. Duterte on his alleged participation with Davao Death Squad.


Majority of the senators from the Liberal Party voted "Yes" for the Re-Opening of the controversial DDS issue despite the fact that Lascañas already flip flopped his past statements and admitted that he was really the leader of the vigilante group in Davao City when Pres. Duterte was still the Mayor.

Here's the List of Sentors Who Voted "NO":
  • Senate Pres. Aquilino "Koko" Pimentel
  • Sen. Richard Gordon
  • Sen. Cynthia Villar
  • Sen. Juan Miguel Zubiri
  • Sen. Manny Pacquiao
  • Sen. Sherwin Gatchalian
  • Sen. Gregorio Honasan


List of Senatos Who Voted "YES":
  • Sen. Pres. Pro-tempore Franklin Drilon
  • Sen. Leila de Lima
  • Sen. Francis Pangilinan
  • Sen. Ralph Recto
  • Sen. Francis Escudero
  • Sen. Juan Edgardo Angara
  • Sen. Antonio Trillanes IV
  • Sen. Joel Villanueva
  • Sen. Paulo Benigno Aquino IV
Abstained:
  • Sen. Panfilo Lacson
  • Sen. Nancy Binay
  • Sen. Loren Legarda
  • Sen. Vicente Sotto III
  • Sen. JV Ejercito Estrada
Absent:
  • Sen. Alan Peter Cayetano
  • Sen. Grace Poe
The decision of the majority of Senators to open the investigation of the alleged Davao Death Squad which involved Pres. Rody Duterte when he was still the mayor of Davao City will be investigated by Senate Committee on Public Order and Illegal Drugs of Sen. Panfilo Lacson.

Before the decision of the majority of senators to re-open the case and hear the testimonies of SPO3 Lascanas, Sen. Dick Gordon noted that Lascanas is not credible anymore considering that he lied under oath and it would only be a waste of tax payers money to accommodate him.

You can pay at a restaurant by smiling at a camera

© Provided by Engadget As easy as it is to make purchases in the era of tap-to-pay services , it's about to get easier still. Alipay (which handles purchases for Chinese shopping giant Alibaba) has launched what it says is the first payment system that uses facial recognition to complete the sale. If you visit one of KFC's KPRO restaurants in Hangzhou, China, you can pay for your panini or salad by smiling at a camera-equipped kiosk -- you need to verify the purchase on your phone, but you don't have to punch in digits or bring your phone up to an NFC reader. The system (Smile to Pay) is purportedly resistant to spoofing with photos and other tricks. It relies on both depth-sensing cameras and a "likeness detection algorithm" to make sure it's really you. Reportedly, the technology is good enough that it can accurately identify people even when they're disguising themselves through makeup or wigs. You shouldn't have to worry about someone buying ...

Tesla cloud account hacked to mine cryptocurrency

© Provided by The Hill An unidentified outside hacker infiltrated Tesla's Amazon cloud account and used its systems to quietly mine for cryptocurrencies, a cybersecurity firm announced Tuesday. The hack also potentially exposed the electric car company's data. Researchers for RedLock found that Tesla's credentials on an IT administrative console were not password protected. They made the discovery while trying to track down which organizations had left their Amazon Web Services (AWS) credentials openly exposed on the internet last month. The hackers quietly hijacked the console and began running scripts to generate virtual currency like bitcoin, the latest in a series of "cryptojacking" attacks. The researchers also found the hackers used "sophisticated evasion measures" to go undetected. A spokesperson for Tesla said the company learned about the breach in a company-sanctioned bug bounty program that pays outside hackers to discover vulnerabilitie...
