The comment author was not insinuating that, you just assumed that. What I was insinuating was that you can't allow unlawful behavior to go unchallenged or else you will have a breakdown of society. Even rehabilitation programs are a f

Sure, I agree we should have a local storage option: however, if we are concerned about population level problems then a local storage option isn't going to help because the vast majority of people wouldn't use it.

Are you advocating that people committing burglaries not be punished?

You set your camera system up yourself. A lot of people aren't going to be willing or able to do that if we are being real. Do you see the average person wiring up a bunch of cameras or troubleshooting networking, configuring a DVR, st

A. It's a detective and corrective control so you can more easily claim losses with insurance and the police, see what has been taken, and know that someone was there. B. It's a preventive control. People doing recon on your place

I agree, let's look at the numbers. ~ 300 school shootings in ten years averages out to 30 a year. There are about 100,000 schools in the US. That's a risk rate of 0.03% per school per year risk. Considering that very few people w

Poor, emotion driven risk management as usual. School shootings kill very few people per year and are rare events (especially in places that can afford this tech) despite what the New York Times would have you believe. Why not focus efforts

If you don't force that then users will simply say "well I really love Instagram..." and click ok. An average user can't place a value on their privacy because they can't see the long term threat from using these se

Fair enough. This is why we have lawyers and subject matter experts (which I am not). I am just expressing a general sentiment. Codifying that into an actionable set of laws and regulations requires much more work.

Once again we continue to look at data privacy and identity theft in the wrong way in my opinion. To me the solution is very simple. If you are reselling my data, allowing access to my data, or deriving data / servives from my data tha

I agree with everything you said. To expand on point 3, when you are pitching a security change, know your audience. Most people hear security change and they think another inconvenient pain in the ass that I'm going to have to deal wi

That's not my point. If we want to talk about the societal impact of mass security camera adoption, fine, but that has little to do with picking a Ring camera for personal use specifically. The only thing that differentiates this from

by Thriptic 7y ago
I'm confused about the issue with Ring here. The primary complaint seems to be that users can share data with police if they want and that police can then save that data. Ultimately that's product agnostic; someone could easily ta

It's a legit service. I use them and they did ensure that my data was removed from the services they specified. Obviously I'm just some person on the internet so my statement has no intrinsic credibility, but I believe they were a

This is somewhat a non-value adding comment, but thanks for your work man! I'm using a VPN set up with Algo now for day to day use and I love it! I am going to try to figure out how to deploy a home VPN solution using it this weekend.

I'm not justifying the situation, I'm simply saying this is how it works which is why the situation plays out how it does.

Lab tests are particularly complicated to price because usually they are being processed by someone else. Usually labs won't even try to get an authorization from insurance until they get your sample and start working on it as it affec

It probably could increase quite a lot because more people might be willing to live far away and enjoy cheaper / more housing if it means that commuting won't be dead time. With self driving cars you could actually work during you

I categorically disagree with this, but let's run with the logic. If we are talking about financial commitment and signaling to a partner, why not gift a house, a car, a long term bond, cash, expensive clothing, a watch, literally any

Yes you could which is why you have contractors. However, it turns out that with "creative" work it's a lot harder to implement that payment model without having an incentives problem.

Should developers keep their job if they fail to deliver every sprint and miss deadlines? At the end of the day we are all judged by output; it just so happens that output is more easily measured in trucking (ie the status is binary) than i

In my comment I explicitly note that I am not stealing content and am in fact probably paying for more content than most users. I am expressing my annoyance at the current business model, not advocating or admitting to piracy.
