Probably because there’s a name in there they have been instructed not to share.

All the big tech companies had climate goals before the AI building craze. All the big tech companies have now quietly removed their climate goals. You don’t need to know anything else.

Seems like a pretty good deal to me. Being free probably beats being incarcerated most days. Prostitutes sort of have to be attractive and like sex. Two things I appreciate in a spouse. They’re probably also not dull so maybe that’s three.

There’s a total Samsung boycott going on because of their shitty business practices.

Your local library likely has an ebook reader app such as Libby or Hoopla. All books are available.

Yep, just 30 years away like it always has been.

So… nationalization.

Denying traffic is easy. Ensuring safe passage is harder. Especially because maritime insurers have the last say. Every vessel stuck in the gulf continues to pay premiums. Every vessel that risks the transit has the potential of being struc

Nope. This is a classic example of crimes being committed in public and police using technology to catch the perpetrators. Passive surveillance would be your example. This program is specifically activated when an active investigation is in

I have a healthy mistrust of authority and surveillance and police. As far as I can tell this program is addressing a real crime problem in SF, it is getting real criminals off the streets and helping police do their jobs. If some policeman

Nothing in this report indicates that policy was being broken. There was a misconfiguration of the tool. They didn’t realize that the internal sharing link was publicly accessible.

Yes, that’s what police do. They drive around and use their judgment to match known criminal activity to behaviors they see around them. Hopefully instances of false positives like two kids going to play basketball get dropped without undue

The videos in question are full of actual crimes being committed and criminals being arrested. San Francisco used to not investigate or prosecute any of those crimes. Laptop stolen out of a car? Nothing to do. Now they catch video of it hap

I’m not sure that’s how it works.

Windows 10 install still has like six traps in the setup wizard. If that’s the better option I shudder to think what 11 looks like. I call it adversarial computing where your OS is explicitly at cross purposes to what is best for you.

This was a deliberate part of the plan. I’m not sure what strategic value they thought they’d get from it but it’s in there.

They certainly don’t sound like nice Martians. Consulting is hard. At a junior level you can teach people to interact with clients how you want. When you hire a senior person you want their advanced skills. Locking your employees in to a pa

Destroying a bunch of satellites would almost certainly kick off Kessler syndrome denying orbit to everyone for centuries.

I’m mildly curious how they expected to monetize that. Not curious enough to sign up for a service that refuses to let customers cancel.

Funny. The article fails to say how. Almost as if the clickbait writing asshole rewrote a reasonable headline.

It baffles me. Airbnb squeezes local workers out of apartments. (This is literally the only coherent argument I’ve heard from the anti-tourism people) So let’s ban the tourists (not the Airbnbs that are the actual problem) What you fail to
