If noninvasive mind reading ever becomes practical, we need to recognize the right to refuse a brain scan a universal human right. Additionally, it should be banned from being used for evidence in the courtroom. Unfortunately there will b

Ah damn, you're right. Looks like it's cheaper than the internet egress fee (looks like $0.02/GB versus $0.09/GB if I'm interpreting the pricing table correctly?). Azure's glacier equivalent might be worth a lo

It's about $20k to egress 250 TB from AWS, so you still come out way ahead.

Yep, it's pretty clear that unlimited is going to have limits (250 TB is a lot of data, that'd be $1500 a month in Backblaze). However, Google should have been required to be up front about their definition of unlimited (eg: up to

It may be extreme, but I think we need to pass legislation to make advertising networks civilly liable for fraud facilitated by their services. Google will change its tune quickly when it's their wallet on the line. As a bonus, this al

Honestly, given that it seems like tons of retailers are trying to follow Amazon's lead with a marketplace system, I think we need a consumer protection law to require companies to make it very clear to consumers when they are buying

eBay is a wild west, but it's at least honest about it. It's very clear when you buy something from eBay, it's coming from an independent seller, and eBay provides you all the history of seller feedback so you can try to vet

Good. Amazon has been happy to rake in commissions for years from dodgy products sold by third party sellers (uncertified electrical equipment, scam flash drives/SSDs, spycams, etc) and then turn around and blame the marketplace seller

I set up a Jellyfin instance on a surplus 1L PC a few months ago. It honestly works great. I use the Roku and Android apps. No reason to use Plex anymore. I even set up a Raspberry Pi at my mother in law's house which exposed my Jellyf

Depends on your internet connection. If you have gigabit fibre to the home, downloading a big AAA game isn't a big deal. If you're on a 30 Mbit cable connection, the delay between starting a download and playing a game is pretty l

Air sampling in the cabin might make sense for a fleet vehicle on a job site where nobody is supposed to have consumed alcohol, but it is a terrible idea for a privately owned passenger car. Imagine you're the designated driver after a

License fees, just like the old days. Either fixed cost to license the library, a royalty based scheme (# of users/installs), or both.

Somewhat off-topic, but fun fact about Darik of DBAN fame - he landed himself in hot water a few years ago when it was revealed he was a founding member of a white nationalist Canadian political party [1]. The party was later dissolved due

Definitely would be really interesting for spacecraft thermal management. Spacecraft only have radiation as a heat transfer mechanism, and they need to be designed to keep all components within a safe temperature under a range of operating

If bankruptcy is imminent, you're generally not allowed to show preference to a particular creditor right before a bankruptcy process. It depends on the jurisdiction, but in many countries the other creditors can petition the court to

Many US companies refuse to ship internationally, so there are legitimate reasons for reshipping services to exist, especially for niche products or products that are too expensive locally. I have used legitimate reshipping services a few t

Exactly. Krebs isn't an anonymous troll on 4chan, he's a well-respected computer security journalist publishing under his own name. If he got it wrong, he'd be facing a lawsuit. He's also incentivized to retract and apol

There is a difference between doxxing and investigative journalism. While the line can be fuzzy, I generally associate doxxing with an attempt to harass or intimidate, and investigative journalism with unveiling hidden information in a matt

I see so many binary options scam ads on YouTube, often with a very poorly deepfaked Elon Musk as a spokesman. Google never takes them down. Maybe I should start reporting them to the securities regulator in my province instead - binary opt

It's also the "a commercial" in Quebec French [1]. Despite lacking the accent on the A (à), the intention of the A is to stand in for the single letter French word "à" (at) [2]. [1] https://vitrinelinguis

The home birth obsession makes me so angry. My wife had a really bad postpartum hemorrhage when our daughter was born. Thankfully, we were in the hospital, so the obstetrics team was able to stop the bleeding and get her stabilized. She&#x2

If Trudeau is wrong about this, and is proven wrong, his government will fall. People don't blow up bilateral relationships between countries unless they are damned sure of the facts. He is clearly certain, as are the opposition part

That's an impressive level of false equivalency. Nobody has ever suggested that Nijjar had anything to do with Air India 182 - probably because he was seven years old at the time, and I'm pretty sure seven year olds aren't

The evidence is certainly classified and disclosure of details would probably result in unacceptable risk to Canadian and/or other Five Eyes intelligence assets. This is not a court of law, the Canadian government is not obliged to giv

Are there any regulatory concerns with using hydrogen as the lifting gas, and if so, how do you plan to address them? A few years ago I was involved with an R&D contract bid looking at unmanned airships for communication, and one of the

Agreed. Generalizing the security of modern spacecraft by what university CubeSat teams get up to is like generalizing all of modern cybersecurity based on an anecdote about a one man company that left an SSH server open with the root passw
