How is this is any way an anonymous tracker? The police could get a subpoena for Apple to divulge the iCloud account, credit card, and phone number of the owner of this AirTag. Using air tags to conduct illegal activity is stupid.

Yeh I hit that too! If it’s the same app their business model is to charge for offline use. Not a great way to get new customers though as it requires missing out on logging a ride to become aware of a reason to buy.

Of potential interest is that IPv6 also has the concept of link local addresses. These are automatically assigned and not routable. But, yeh, I went through the same moment of fear that you did when I first turned on ipv6.

I tried doing this once. It just wasn't worth the additional testing effort and increased complexity. Switching to Ansible was far more productive. Interestingly though starting in Bash was a good MVP approach. Fast to get started. But

I think the article touched on that, but your second sentence gave the context of why looking at the atmosphere is interesting. Thank you. And yeh, that is exciting!

Those are great thank you! I suppose I'm also hoping to go deeper. Like how is this going to help us understand how galaxies evolve? I suppose it will because we can see farther and so younger galaxies, and compare that to older galaxi

What exactly are we hoping to learn from the telescope? I understand that it will allow us to see farther than ever before, and that is exciting. But, there must be a list of hypotheses that astronomers are planning to test. None of the vid

You are seeing a potential future, and an exciting one at that. Unfortunately, there is nothing in what Ubisoft has announced that will help usher in that future.

Bingo. One of the biggest challenges these days for entertainment companies is successfully marketing their product. By saying they are using NFTs they've captured all sorts of free media attention. And they've even launched this

I suspect requiring people to drive a few hours away is enough of a disincentive to purchase that sales to Californians will drop by 90%.

by josho 5y ago
What may be semantically true may also be quite different than peoples perceptions. And peoples perceptions and how they functionally treat crypto is like a currency, it's even in the name. So, I strongly suspect if you tried to argue

You are thinking of this like a technologist. Think about it on how we handle reporting requirements on a cash transaction. There is nothing inherent in a cash purchase that facilitates reporting of the transaction to the government. All of

I don’t understand the issue. Today if I have a cash transaction greater than $10k I have to report it. This bill just clarified that cash includes digital assets. Is your issue with the existing law or you feel crypto shouldn’t be treated

by josho 5y ago
Or where we are today raise enough attention (through articles like this) that this new requirement does not become law.

I like your answer best so far. You have perfectly reasonable uses for the camera, and none just so happen to overlap with things I care about. I'm clearly not the target market. I did find your third point on solicitors rather interes

Yes, whenever I see a dash cam I stop and think about getting one, I see the value. Especially since the probability of a car accident is far more likely than a B&E through your front door.

Yes, that sucks. I agree. But, the video doorbell doesn't help with drunks coming in a side/basement window. I understand an array of cameras around the house to cover your example. So, maybe the doorbell video is just one part of

Yes great story. I understand the benefit of putting cameras around the perimiter. Personally I have other projects to tackle first, but could see myself doing that one day. Thank you for the example.

You are right. I haven’t. I did have my car broken into and the police shared with me the tactics that criminals use and a door bell camera or even cameras wouldn’t deter the pros. And the ones that aren’t pros I wonder if they are too stup

I’m curious to learn why people buy these things. Crime rate where I live is low. Regardless that’s what insurance is for. And I’m not even sure if the doorbell would deter anyone. Even in a large house I don’t mind coming to the front door

Yes, thank you for proving my point. That statement says the strawberries are 100% real, it does nothing to exclude the addition of other ingredients or artificial red flavoring added elsewhere. You may think I'm being asinine, but I&#

Yeh, I agree with you. But this is the system we have. Ideally we'd have a consumer protection group that would have raised the issue decades ago. But, it seems a vast majority of Americans don't trust government to regulate and e

Go look at the packaging that says 'made with real fruit' & has pictures of strawberries. There are millions of Americans that see that and have decided that it's a healthier choice than the instant oatmeal (without any f
