No you won't, I've had a camera mounted on my house for years with no issues, I did this when my car got hit by a neighbor and I had to chase down camera footage from a CCTV camera operated by a home builder down the street, having that footage was the only way they were held responsible for it, as after initially admitting to it they later decided they didn't want to pay. Many people also run dashcams for insurance purposes, perfectly legal.

Personally I find devices that record locally or to user-owned services perfectly fine, keeping local recordings on your dashcam's SD card, awesome, keeping your home recordings on your NVR, NAS or private server, that's okay, but sending that to corporate or government owned services is generally bad. There's a limit to how much an individual can do with the data they record from a few places they own, their car, their house, etc. There's no limit to how much abuse a large entity can do with that data, facial recognition and more computing power than they know what to do with.

Drawing this line legally however is... extremely challenging.

The reality is what we have here is a tradeoff between freedom and security with any individual CCTV camera. Those are both valuable things in their own right and such tradeoffs should be made carefully.

When we then hand that data off to a corporation or government entity, that tradeoff looks very different - now they have access to thousands if not millions of sensors. The freedom implications become much higher and the security is often replaced with things like "how good is our traffic data?", "how can we improve our self-driving system to sell more cars?" or "how can the Chinese government bust more Muslims?". The aggregated result is rarely worth it.
Apple still makes very good products, but they're starting to move away from differentiators that made them successful over others. A lot of computing products are what I'd call "engineered to fail". In that, the design of the product sucks in an objective way, and any technically minded person can see the failure coming from a mile away. For e.g. buggy custom software for stupidly trivial tasks like application/system updates, and then making it worse by installing it as a kernel service, or using sub-par plasticky components, poor frame construction, or pre-loading crap-ware, zero attention to ergonomics, not caring if the vendor's software blends with the underlying OS, not caring about UX impact of their software, etc.

I find it interesting how every Tesla car autopilot crash is widely reported yet all other car manufacturers' self-driving propositions are not better[0] compared to Tesla's and almost nobody is talking about that -- at least not in the news outlets I've been following.

Media seems to really want to see Musk fail. That doesn't look like objective journalism to me.

(Additionally, did somebody actually investigate Waymo's and Uber's self-driving car departments inner workings and if they report the accident counts truthfully?)

I agree with Sam. It's just stupid that people are rooting for the failure of one of the most brilliant and ballsy entrepreneurs we've seen in many years.

Those rooting against him deserve to stay in the dark ages.
I remember hearing about MMS from a Myles Power video a few years ago, and I honestly didn't realize (initially) that anyone took it seriously. It's really sad that this is the natural conclusion to selling industrial bleach snake-oil.
I guess from Elon's POV, safety is sort of relative.

Their numbers[1] show autopilot as safer than human drivers, even though they don't have full autonomy yet. A lot of people consider 1 human death from a computer driving as unacceptable, but hundreds of thousands from human drivers as totally fine.

A lord who could afford a proper feast would not have enough regard for individual farmers to decide who should starve.

I suspect that some nobles had someone of a lower status they actively disliked. The strategy of most persons of lower status would be to not be noticed. It follows that there would be some people who would be noticed, and that sometimes, it would be in a bad way. Even in societies where the lords were obliged to feed everyone, I doubt this would prevent them from conferring favors by degree.

I recall one Roman description of a Gallic feast where it's suggested that boasting and fighting between guests would occasionally occur, and that this was regarded as one form of entertainment. (The propaganda purpose behind this, being to portray the Gauls as barbarians who would benefit from being civilized by the Romans.) As a modern person, I have a hard time understanding how, occasionally at least, this wouldn't get someone dis-invited.
> * Use Google Voice for 2FA

I like this idea, insofar as the Voice number is not vulnerable to the SIM port attack.

But then I worry that it's yet-another-thing I'm to my Google account, which Google could always shut down at a moment's notice, with no explanation, and no recourse.

Sam also said it was "gross" to see people saying I told you so after the WSJ Theranos article. Dude lives in a SV bubble. Investors don't like to see billion dollar losses, they are not choosing sides.
> And while we are doing PSAs, I'd like to give one piece of seemingly conflicting advice: make sure you have backups of your multi-factor authentication systems.

Yes! Many password managers (at least KeePassXC/KeePass with plugin) can store and create TOTPs. The underlying keys can be manually shown and entered elsewhere if needed, and can be backed up with everything else that's valuable.

> Print out 2-factor backup codes, put them somewhere safe, maybe split them in 2 and put half of the codes in one place, and half in another. Think through possible problems. It really sucks to have your house flood, then find out that your phone with the 2-factor app on it was destroyed, and your backup codes ruined as well...

Off site and offline backups are a good thing to have, especially with fire and water proof lockboxes. (think encrypted external drive lying around at work or at family/friend's house)
Is there anything stopping them from having Marylandcare for All now? The ACA establishes minimums, but does it prevent a state from offering expanded care. My state has their own insurance for pregnant women and children for example.
That sounds terrible to me. I fully support the idea of paper mail costing a lot if it reduces the amount that is sent.

I've given talks where I think at the time that we'd have been better off giving everyone in the audience a cheque for $500 to read our blog post rather than fly me to the US for a week.

But then one person in the audience likes what they hear or asks a really insightful question, and then next year they're giving their own talk about your work because they're using it and you realise it was worth it.

And I think a counterpoint to this, as a conference attendee, is that if you walk by a room and it's embarrassingly empty, then jump in, make eye contact with the speaker while they're talking, and ask a good question afterward, to help them out.
I think it's fair to establish the following:

1. Kids are unable to defend themselves from their parents, especially ones that need additional care.

2. Forcing kids to drink poison constitutes child abuse.

3. YouTube should not recommend videos which advocate for child abuse.

It seems like every time there's parents doing something that constitutes literal child abuse as a result of incredibly dangerous videos, there comes people more concerned about the slippery slope logical fallacy than the parents committing child abuse and the people perpetuating it.
> instead of what defensive work to do

That would solve a problem I saw at a previous job: new features would be described as technical debt, so they could take up tech debt time at the expense of _real_ debt.
> What data does the password use retain? IIRC password store retains the "time first used, time last used" and displays that visibly.

Lets compare it to downloads. That's another feature that leaves quite a bit of "compromising" info but users might still want to use it. I am thankful that Firefox does still allow downloads in private mode and did not just disable it. Sure, I could copy all the links into a non private session, but that would be annoying.

Similarly, imagining a situation were saving passwords from private windows might come in handy doesn't seem like a hard stretch to me. It also pretty obviously leaves a trace, just like a download, and thus shouldn't create much user confusion.

Ya, but the bank doesnt accept the paper. The court accepts the paper (with associated witnesses) and the bank accepts the court order. There are just too many cases of fraud involving paper. Waving a balance statement in front of a bank manager will get you nowhere.
yup, burnt1ce's argument is both puzzling and overstated, even as i appreciate their zeal for sports.

loneliness has many antidotes, not just having/making friends. just interacting with other people can stem loneliness.

i both volunteer and play sports (basketball) and while some benefits overlap, i do each for principally different benefits.

basketball provides both regular exercise (that i like and do willingly) and an outlet to be competitive (and even aggressive).

volunteering provides an opportunity to learn something new and give to others.

that both reduce loneliness is icing on the cake.
Wild, I didn't know that there were actually any people that listened to AM radio still. The bare handful of times I've accidentally gotten switched onto that band in my car, it's been nothing but static and Red Sox broadcasts.
Here's what I did:

- Make your bedroom dark, quiet and cool

- Get a memory foam pillow

- Install blue-light filter on your phone, laptop or desktop (Twilight on Android, f.lux on Mac & Windows)

- Have your Vitamin D levels checked, take supplements if necessary

- Take 0.3 mg of Melatonin if you're having trouble sleeping

- Read Say Good Night to Insomnia [0]

> Also realize that many WordCamps and conferences record talks and those are usually available to the public web, where many others can discover and view them.

This. I've only given one real conference talk—a lightning talk at Globus World 2019—but I do wish I had a recording of it.
Exactly. This was originally not perceived as quite so "unfair" because the senators were chosen by state legislatures.

But yes, one of the important goals of our Constitution was to prevent "Rule by Virginia" - that is to say, the tyranny of the majority. Today, it would be California and New York vs. Texas and Florida.

It was also less important when the feds did less. Whether you approve or disapprove of the changes, the original system was good, and the tinkering is what broke it. Maybe un-tinkering things should be considered as an option just as much as tinkering them further.

> Am I interpreting this correctly?

Not quite. In the normal case, users will never see any difference as a result of this change. Most users will experience it, semantically, as "profile per channel," separating normal Firefox from Firefox Nightly, etc. And if you only use stable Firefox, you only have one profile.

That means that upgrading from Firefox n to Firefox n+1 is totally fine and it will continue to use the same profile. But installing Beta or Nightly will now default to using a separate profile, instead of trying to use the same local data as normal Firefox.

I suspect Steve's issue is because he's unpacking his new version of Firefox to a different location on disk, so we're treating it like a separate install, rather than an upgrade of an already installed Firefox.
Another feature that keeps me on OS X is the ease of imaging a system and booting from that image. Also target disk mode - I've yet to see anything that comes close in Windows or Linux but I admit I'm a bit out of touch.
Hi Google, my bags were lost on the way to my holiday!

Answer: Here are similar situations to yours that we found! Have a nice day.
Churches are - pun intended - a mixed blessing. Religion gives comfort when people are in pain and can help impose some sense where there is none so on the short timescales it looks positive. But on the longer timescales it is just another powerstructure that aims to keep people in check and productive towards the aim of maintaining the structure itself and at tremendous cost to society as a whole and in many cases at tremendous cost to the lives of the individuals that are a part of it.

Personally I prefer to live without such influences in my life in so far as that is possible but I fully respect others' rights to do as they please.

But a healthy society can be had outside of religion.
This is awesome, will look forward to following its progress
Strongly disagree on that. Been to a member of a bunch of sports clubs. Many people actually go there to do sports and nothing else.
Would this not render fairly unambiguously to MAGUIDHIR (?spelling, corrected in an edit as I got it wildly wrong)? It only seems confusing if you're not Irish, and I'm already completely at sea with names that aren't Western European so this seems like a fine tradeoff to make.
Could it be that battery life is so much better now, so people don’t have their computers plugged in as much of the time when working?
It is little surprising Sam Altman say this. The whole notion of startups is that the entire world is rooting against you. The reason why Uber or Pinterest went to VCs and not the banks for loans is because Banks do not give loans to such risk businesses. That aversion to risk is essentially what makes startup success spectacular. It is not just Tesla that people are rooting against. People rooted against Ford Model 3, Google and Internet itself if you simply bother to look at news of those times. Paul Krugman, the patron saint of left liberals predicted that Internet would simply disappear.

Also what you say is irrelevant. What matters is your portfolio. Are you making money off Puts or Calls ?
How’s the battery impact feel? That’s the reason I’ve always come back to Safari on Mac.

See recent Tele2 attacks. This is a problem in Sweden too.

This was a good collection of speaking tips.

"I was the last talk of the last day. Only about a dozen people attended that talk."

From the title I thought literally NOBODY showed up. I've done talks at 8am on Saturday in a room built for several hundred people where only about a dozen showed up and it didn't even occur to me to be upset. I was surprised & happy that many people showed up! I guess my expectations are low.
To be fair to your view, I did observe fewer issues in Arch's systemd packaging vs. say, Debian. Arch I think is pretty good overall.
That's easy to say when most of the public isn't driving your cars. Scaling the company can bring a lot of problems that weren't foreseen.

Sure they will. When the court orders them to, they will have to.
I wouldn't say it's BS. It's just not perfect.

The standard person today isn't capable of managing multiple secure tokens, and actually keeping them separate.

One smashed phone, and truly secure accounts would be lost forever, or require significant resources on the part of the provider to re-verify people's identities.
> An alternative solution might be "media control", less reporting and headlining of shooters and shootings, to prevent copycats, sensationalism and the appeal of making a "statement" of this kind by going out and killing a bunch of people

If the 2nd amendment doesn’t protect machine guns because they’re more effective than muskets then why should the 1st protect television and data networks when they’re much more effective than soapboxes and handbills?

Clearly we need sensible speech control laws to limit the harm caused by sensationalism, fake news, propaganda, and pornography. In fact, we used to, but they were either repealed or enjoined[1].

Here's an in-browser 6502 tutorial with simulator: https://skilldrick.github.io/easy6502/

Fascinating that the embedded pictures don't even show the keyboard (or the much-unloved Touch Bar).
No, see California. They are considering expanding their state healthcare much further, even to criminal aliens (reported this morning). I don't agree with the policy, but can approve of them trying to avoid forcing the rest of the nation to go along with them. As long as it is legal by their constitution, it's their prerogative.

I'm not saying there are not busy people who volunteer or go to church, but I think there's a "have time and patience" factor associated with it.
> Storage is easy for renewables, regardless of local geology, using already existing tech.

By the time you generate power from some actual generation source, pay the conversion losses both ways and then pay the equipment, land and maintenance costs of the storage technology, it isn't cost-competitive. And then people keep burning carbon.

> In many places, the winds blows powerfully at night. With a capable grid like the one China has build in the last 10 years, that energy can be efficiently moved a thousand miles.

Wind is regionally intermittent. If it's a still night in one place there is a significant probability that it will also be a few miles from there. But transmitting power over a thousand miles isn't cost-competitive. Both the infrastructure cost and the transmission losses scale with the distance, making the cost quadratic with the transmission distance. On top of that, it multiplies your costs for the generation, because if you're not going to use storage you need enough generation in Region A to power both Region A and Region B when it's a still night in Region B, but you also need that much in Region B for when it's still in Region A. Even if that only happens one night out of five.

There are also national security implications. For all but a small handful of countries "1000 miles away" is in another country. Who does Israel connect its grid to? Or Japan? Does Germany enjoy buying power from France? What do you do when your neighbor raises the price?

Then everyone, including the bigger countries, takes on a large-scale dependency. Lose the long-distance transmission lines and the brownouts aren't just regional, it's the whole continent. There are ways to harden against that but then we're raising the cost even more.
"Just make sure to fix some of the sleep issues..."

A great example of why people buy Macs, though. Most people don't want to faff around with hackery getting Linux to work properly. And with Windows 10's horrible privacy issues, Macs are still the best choice. They're buying them for the software, not the hardware.
because they can (usually) revert it.

Because reversibility is a good thing.
Hitting the Windows key on Windows 7 even with an HDD was instant. Hitting the Windows key on Windows 10 with an HDD tok seconds. Installing an SSD brought it back to being instant.

I suspect you won't find it quite as easy as that to divvy apart a church community from its creed. Most of the New Testament writings are devoted to teachings about how the church and its community ought to function, and it's all very firmly grounded in the "supernatural" aspects of Christianity (especially the resurrection of Christ). Take away the latter, and I think you're likely to lose much of the former.
Yesterday someone mentioned that Facebook stores data offline on BlueRay - wonder how they make sure records are deleted accordingly in that case.

It’s not just you.

I don’t get the whining about lack of USB type-a ports or the sd card slot and hdmi port. One, ONE $30 adapter gives you all of those and you have 3 TB3 ports still to use, AND it will read more memory card formats. Edit: AND it will have more USB-A ports than the old MBP had!

I saw a manufacturer a while ago had a little magnetic adapter for a USB-c power port, too.

Oh and the common complaint about flash drives - I bought one with type a one end, and type-c the other for about $12 I think.

The added functionality of TB3 far outweighs any of the small losses IMO.

Edit2: sd card not ssd card.
