Ah, hadn't seen it. I was thinking Minority Report , but skimming Person of Interest summaries..yes, similar.

Feels like it's also going to be handy for selective prosecution. Say you're targeted for public speech someone doesn't like. Now they can try and draw some link between your travels and some unsolved crime. Even if it&#x27

It talks about Flock branded surveillance in several places, then the news site itself asks for donations with this tagline "Thanks for joining our flock!". Short double-take on that donation area for me.

Some of the early unix systems did have a local daemon. The much-maligned SunOS NIS/YP services as one example.

There are ACARS devices with qwerty. Like https://www.aeroexpo.online/prod/spectralux-corporation/prod... Changing anything significant on an aircraft requires certification though. So you typically have to have

And the loophole is apparently to just use a laptop or tablet, like two of the not-highlighted politicians in the photo.

It covers things like criminal background, education verification, immigration status, validation of driver's license (think couriers, etc), professional licenses, credit reports, DOT drug testing, etc. The problematic one to me is the

The closest way to visualize it is probably how cloudflare offers something kind of like a container (if you squint) via it's workers product. https://blog.cloudflare.com/announcing-wasi-on-workers/ I assume the m

Ah, so, yes...a "soft" coup. Which isn't uncommon. Though there's many things brewing that might fall back into the mainstream definition.

Routinely reaching past the defined limits of the executive branch could be described as a coup. Depending on the event/circumstances, it's congress being overthrown, or the constitution, etc. Assuming a definition of coup like &

Generally, "small" isn't meant to denote how many worker bees are doing actual work. It's meant to denote a small number of fifedoms introducing their own rules, forms, processes, approvals, etc into the process.

In the case where it write functionally "good enough" code that performs terribly, it rewards the LLM vendor...since the LLM vendor is also often your IaC vendor. And now you need to buy more infra.

Pretty sure that doesn't handle the 'Z' timezone offset, as I saw the same with various PHP built-ins. Some ignore offsets, some don't...but handle only specific formats and not others, including the Z. So you still ne

There's a chart in this whitepaper where you see how they may have shifted from mental hospitals to jail/prison when US policy around that changed in the 1970's. https://freopp.org/whitepapers/reimagining

The date treatment isn't great, but the repo seems to indicate it's existed as a public thing for 22 days. So perhaps just an early compromise to get it working.

Could be tough. I imagine the bus connections between the gps, radio, and systems needed for the car to operate are often intertwined. Might be easier to find and cut the antenna leads.

There are some ways to abuse solely the ability to stop an inflight web request, and being able to see what url it was for. But, that did require a specific permission. And the permission/ability to inject arbitrary JavaScript into any

I think part of it was a way for dev teams to get an infra team that was not empowered to say no. Plus organizational theory, empire building, etc.

I suspect at some point they will figure out how to make things like CAD and MS office run well enough in a browser that the native apps die. I get it's hard to see that now given that web app versions of things like Office are terribl

Python has import hooks, which you can use to do the same madness. I imagine many languages have some form of lazy loading to do roughly the same thing. I suppose it's more the culture of the language than the capabilities driving whe

If it is that the ROI is just real unattractive for spam calls now... I wonder if the waves are just new people trying to spam for the first time. And taking a little bit of time to figure out that it's not profitable. If so that&#x27

I have seen a significant decrease in the amount of spam telephone calls over the last couple of years. Is that what everybody else is seeing? That maybe Stir/Shaken is actually starting to work? I guess it could just be that generati
