I am amazed at how fast we went from “if it’s not Boeing I’m not going” to this. I think Americans need to start considering their own financial industry as a strategic threat to their economy and industry. This is what happens when bean co

Sounds like we should sue them for that too?

That's fine, until a piece of supporting evidence (photo, email, faceID hash or whatever) establishes that you interact with the device on a regular basis.

The underlying issue is that giving the password is, in the majority of cases, equivalent to admitting that you own/control the device. In other words, it can easily force you to reveal your involvement in a crime, i.e. to bear witn

>being forced to give up your passcode is no different then being forced to give up any secrets you might have. Actually, the case is even stronger than you make it out to be. IIRC, one of the key constitutional issues is that providing

That’s the part that’s most shocking to me. It seems like the safest approach to legalizing sports betting would be to prohibit advertising, just as we have with e.g. cigarettes.

The reason they’re good has a lot to do with how hard they are to find.

My friend, not conflating groups is literally one of the standards for public discourse in 2023.

e.g. product recalls?

The modern car contains within it a perfect example the dichotomy: 1. The ECU ("hard" engineering) 2. The infotainment system ("soft" engineering) Now, an interesting thing I have noticed is that "soft" softwar

Yes, yes. I need help appreciating it :)

And why does that matter? What do we now know as a result? Or what interesting properties follow?

People seem to want to use LLMs to mine knowledge, when really it appears to be a next-gen word-processor.

I think you're nit-picking and failing to address the broader point. 1. The conversation may or may not contain information pertaining to an abortion. 2. The metadata (namely: "it's an abortion clinic") inherently con

Yeah, false positives are a doozy, and I don't see many guardrails in place to prevent the intelligence community from acting upon them :/

An interesting point in Glenn Greenwald’s book is that metadata is often more informative than the “real” data. Consider: 1. A phone call in which Mrs. Smith talks to a receptionist to set an appointment with a doctor for 9:30 next Wednesd

I noted that Apple says the governments in question are allies of the United States. I wonder if this is a case of American intelligence outsourcing the surveillance of American citizens to foreign intelligence. If that is indeed the case,

Huh, that's actually a good point. Thanks for that.

If we worked zero hours, then zero people would die from working. See also: "we lowered the speed limit and get X fewer deaths on the road".

>The CDC also recommends changing the cat's litter box daily Yeah, I'll get right on that. Sheesh, the risk-sensitivity of the modern medical profession is a bit ridiculous, sometimes. Edit: I'm interpreting this as &quo

Sigh … no. It’s saying that this is a case of academic innovation, and that that is startup drama.

In academia, it very much is the same thing.

Never underestimate the propensity of a criminal to engage in multiple crimes. I maintain it could go either way.

>To say that there's a scandal because the cover-up didn't work is no more than a dingbat truism This nails it quite succinctly, IMO.

What does "control" mean, technically? I have an intuitive sense of what you're pointing at with the Boeing 727 crash experiment, but how does the law phrase it?
