> I have to ask myself if I would have been able to avoid those, and I can honestly say that I would have.

This is not the whole equation. The question is also would you be able to react to all accidents that Autopilot is avoiding? Are you 100% diligent ALL the time? Can you react in 200 ms ALL the time to someone else stupidity? Last-minute breaking for the exit, veering into your lane, speeding trough crossroad on red etc.?

> I expect a sober human driver to have a much lower accident rate than Tesla’s autopilot when driving the same highway miles.

This is based on what?

What about Tesla miles without active safety features vs. Tesla miles with active safety features?

Based on Tesla safety report just having active safety features active without an autopilot is decreasing the risk of collision by 36%. As far as I know, both numbers include miles out of highways.

"For those driving without Autopilot but with our active safety features, we registered one accident for every 2.19 million miles driven. For those driving without Autopilot and without our active safety features, we registered one accident for every 1.41 million miles driven."

So, there are hardware in phone whos job is to recognize trigger words and phrases like "Hello Google" , "Alexa" and "Siri" and wake up the phone so it can listen to the users request. They probably have limited memory, but I would not be surprised if they can store a few hundred low quality rules for detecting certain words. The ad-network already have a profile on you, and could compile a list of trigger words you are likely to use based on your profile. They upload this list to the phone, and lets the phone build up a frequency list that they can use to better target you with ads you are likely to click on.

All this would just require a few thousand bytes transferred between the phone and the ad-network. Since they are using information they already have about you, and there are little or no additional CPU or network usage it would be really hard to detect.
Yes but it needs a desire to be helped on part of the populace. If the popular narrative is that anyone receiving govt help is receiving handouts[1], as is the case in the US, there's little that can be done that won't be seen as shameful charity.

[1] Unless the handouts are in the form of tax breaks for big companies, in which case they are the most patriotic thing to do.
I'm in Australia so got it from a local supplier during a 20% off eBay deal.

I initially never got one due to the expense and thought they were overpriced and overhyped.

I still think they are overpriced. I would get one now knowing how well it has worked for me.
Yes, but remember it's still easy to pull an "into the wild" ending.

One day I was with David Manise, a survivalist teacher. He pulled out a root, and made us tasted it. Young wild carrots. Pretty funny how small it is compared to our domesticated version, we really did a number on the specie by breeding them.

Then 10 meters away, he harvested another one. Looked the same. Only it was young hemlock. It's what Seneca used for killing himself.

The lesson here, is that eating wild plants is always risky, no matter what protocol or book you use.

I still love the idea, romantically, of going in the wood and finding my food with the help of some kind of Junior Woodchucks' Guidebook.
Thanks, it's nice to have something to point to about DLX, other than "mine was slow".
I get where you’re coming from, and I agree there the needs of public safety policy and self interest don’t always align.

What I mean to say is, when car considering the safety data of any vehicle, it is insufficient to know that the vehicle performs better than whole-fleet.

It’s also necessary to know whether any particular vehicle outperforms others in its class.

One of those without the other is necessary but not sufficient.

He's not confusing them. They're both phone jacks (see the wiki he posted), the 3.5mm and 1/8 alike. You're confusing the fact the 3.5mm is often in phones (its the multiple usages of the word phone that's confusing here).

In addition to privacy, another argument against credit cards are fees like interchange fees and assessments https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interchange_fee.

When I pay by card, banks and Visa/Mastercard get a cut of my purchase, which the merchant doesn't get (and I don't think they are allowed to pass on these fees to the consumer). When I pay by cash, the merchant gets 100%. I usually prefer to give my money to a local shop rather than to financial middlemen.
This is why I strongly advocate for "data being a liability when you have experience a data breach."

This solves two things:

1) services will only store the user's data they REALLY NEED

2) lack of strong security: services will be much more incentivized to secure the data they do collect and store.

Not only did Facebook fail to protect this data, but much of it they also collected without most users even realizing, such as when "accepting to install the Facebook application" and then retrieving the contact list in the background.
In France hospitals usually keep the mother and new born baby for about 5 days. They use that time to teach the mother how to care for the baby and to monitor how she's coping so that they can refer her to get more social help if needed.

What "anti-computer bias"?

The more one knows about software, the less one trusts it, absent independent corroboration. Especially, software coded by grad students. Software engineering is a discipline of its own not generally taught them.

Slavery isn't just illegal, any law permitting it would be unconstitutional by the 13th Amendment. Federal anti-slavery laws couldn't be a target for nullification, which relies in theory on the state's belief that the federal law is unconstitutional.

I think you're mistaken. Intelligence agencies do the opposite by hoarding exploits and purposely weakening security standards.

What it actually says is that a militia is necessary to protect a free state. Then and now, “militia” generally refers to those non-professional soldiers that may be called upon in times of great need. This would seem to at least cover everyone subject to the Selective Service Act, which is a large percentage of the male population.

There’s also an argument that the 2nd amendment envisages a potential need for the populace to defend themselves from the government, as was considered necessary only a few years prior to its enactment.

I've visited plenty of sites made by small developers who simply use them to try to offset hosting costs with a banner ad. Hosting isn't a negligible cost for everyone and content should be judged based of content, but you can of course judge a site as a whole with ads included.
We're long past the days when you had to be paranoid and 'computer illiterate' to believe computing devices couldn't pick up speech.

For a decade or more vendors have been shipping voice recognition technology onto consumer devices, with less and less friction to operate, actively attempting to make it part of very common device interactions.

Now the only questions are:

A. Do these omnipresent hot mics have adequate access control?

B. How many parties have access to them, and

C. Are these parties worthy of being trusted with such responsibility?

In the Netherlands, we have Greenwheels, which in addition to being accessible using an app, also allows you to open the car with an NFC-enabled card (I'm assuming for the case where my phone doesn't have reception?). If the car doesn't have reception either then I'm not sure you would be able to open it.

EDIT: Actually, after you pick up the car and start driving it, you (un)lock the car using the keys that are in the glovebox. In principle, you should be able to drive into dead zones without an issue
NMAP: Scan IP Ranges
I am blind, but I am not a primary speech synthesis user, I prefer tactile braille. However, I know a number of people which are using their speech synthesizers at rates similar to what you described above.

My theory/experience with this phenomenon is, that a speech synthesizer never makes any errors. When it pronounces a word, it will do so exactly the same way everytime the same word comes up. So the learning effect after a while is a bit higher then when you listen to a human. Humans will always have slight variation in how they pronounce the same word. So, as I understand it, you can "learn" to listen to your speech synthesizer on a fast rate more effectively then you would be able to listen to a fast human speaker.

And yes, I also listen to YouTube talks and audiboosk at about 1.5-2x rate. So I guess 80 bits per second is relatively easily doable for the receiver.
I stand corrected.

I remember when my wife first moved to this country, it was extremely difficult for her to open a current account, I thought that the basic accounts would solve those problems and probably do.

They clearly don't solve all problems.

It is a bit odd though that this is the case as surely allowing people to use the accounts allow for the transactions to be traced, rather than the anonymity of cash.

Quite possibly there are good reasons, for the bank but on 5 hours of sleep so I can't come up with any :)
> for e.g CircleCI’s account for Google Analytics

Google allows custom JS injection via Tag manager, so there are possible vectors, even if only access to 3rd party site was stolen. Of course I have no idea what was the deal here.

It's worth noting, that CircleCI did nothing to address issues raised in the linked post. Their main app still loads tons of third party analytics garbage for e.g. Google, Hotjar, Amplitude and even Facebook of all people. I do block all those, but as someone pointed out it's not a solution and cant even be reliable at all times.

Please bear in mind, that CircleCI not only has access to private repositories. More often then not they do store private SSH keys to your production servers.
In Germany (and probably most other central european countries), it has become common for the father to stay with the mother and the kid in the hospital for the first few days (if job conditions and the income situation permits this), at least for the first child. This way, the father is also able to learn from basic child handling from the nurses in the hospital right from the beginning.

I have a hard enough time figuring out what a reasonable thing for me to do is. Deconstruction is always the easy part. One thing we can be certain of at this stage is that 'startup' culture with its emphasis on catastrophic global entropy increase (ie. so-called 'economic growth') is a road to nowhere good.

The information that you've watched that movie likely went into the ad-placement algorithm and it then may have decided that you could be interested in guns.

Now, is this reassuring? Maybe the ad-placement algorithm with all the data available is much better at knowing who you are and what you want that than recording audio, and extracting meaning from it.
Great game! It definitely needs a way to go 1 step back.
Not only the model quality, but the Lego bricks themselves are pretty disappointing too.

If you drop a normal brick on a hard floor the brick is likely to shatter. More models have special parts with narrow waist sections that easily snap. The c-shaped grips that hold poles either warp or snap and become useless.

More and more sets come with stickers rather than printing the pattern onto the bricks like they used to do. Stickers are really lame. They never go on right and peel off at the corners easily, but if you pull them off they'll definitely leave goop behind.

My kids and I still enjoy Lego despite this, but we haven't bought a new set for a long time.
I don't know about weighted blankets, but I think I definitely sleep more deeply when my cat is on the duvet next to me. That could be due to additional weight, but I wonder if it's a caveman thing where you can sleep more deeply because you can rely on the animal to alert you to any danger.
Around 9 years ago I was prescribed a weighed blanket with chains inside it, an enormous help to my sleep quality and even helpful daytime during stressful times. I have Aspergers.

Master Image Tracking with ARKit 3 – Part 1
I was in fact referring to exploits in my post. That's typically how NSA and GCHQ operate these days: either find exploits, or if a sufficient number can't be found, have some hard-to-detect exploits inserted into the code by operatives or as part of unrelated bug fixes.

There's also hardware exploits. The firmware doesn't need to have a back door if a certain sequence of packets sent to the network controller will cause key memory to be overwritten and live patch in a backdoor.

It's a rather different beast, AFAIK. WireGuard works as an openvpn replacement, with a client-server architecture, while zerotier has no real idea of a server (beyond the zerotier controller, which is offered as a SaaS as well), there're just clients connecting between each other, and offers UDP hole punch, so you don't have to open ports and configure things like that.

THAT is ZT advantage.

EDIT:
I got back to WireGuard after writing this comment, and I may be wrong. I may have misunderstood a lot about wireguard so far, I'll check it again soon.
Checklists are fantastic if used in the moment by a team.

Checklists used post hoc and imposed on individuals are (IMHO) worse than useless - they give a sheen of process and quality by forcing someone to randomly ink boxes.
I occasionally consider how this could be used with the other things in the bill of rights.

A couple people swear that person C has questionable state of mind and their free speech is taken - social accounts frozen, ability to address city council, publish things, use the mail.. do this 6 weeks before an election or council votes for example. Before an IPO?

I believe that almost half of those on fbk would get almost half of people kicked, and vice versa..

If search and seizure rights could be suspended groups could go door to door finding something to remove entire populations from the voting block.

just a couple of people saying they are concerned, what things could happen with the other rights?

How groups in power could use these things is an interesting consideration.
> Still, cars without reception become vulnerable in a few scenarios: when members lose or do not have their physical Zipcard with them, when they exceed their reservation time or want to extend their Zipcar reservation, or when the vehicle battery dies. That last scenario was the one my family and I found ourselves in, though we did not know it at the time.

Can someone change the title to reflect that cell phone reception had nothing to do with the inability to open the car in this case?
"Files released by the F.B.I. in 2011 under the Freedom of Information Act showed that the F.B.I. was permitted to include people on the watchlist even if they had been acquitted of terrorism-related offenses or the charges are dropped."

This sounds like an open shut case of abuse by the executive branch. It's the judicial branch's job to determine guilt, to still effectively sentence someone who's been cleared in court must be a huge overreach of the executive branch.

At the same time the people who did take it seriously were also unfairly discredited. There was a legitimate theory of the psychedelic state as a "model psychosis" which was simply rejected during the anti-drug hysteria which followed.

The government (CIA) also used psychedelics in all kinds of horrible, torturous ways with their experiments.
Anecdote time.

Short summary: I received in my Google news feed a story about something I would never expect to see in my news feed. The only rational explanations I could think of were that (i) Google had eavesdropped on an earlier conversation, or (ii) Google had received the full data for an offline credit card purchase in a bricks and mortar store made with a credit card which had been saved in my Google profile.

Full story: My wife went to a bricks and mortar bookshop to buy a boy's birthday present. In the bookshop, our daughter said he liked football, so she bought a children's book by an English footballer. She did not know what to buy beforehand, and did not look the author up online afterwards, so there was zero online footprint for the transaction. When she got home, I asked what present she'd got, and she told me it was a football book. When she told me the author's name, and I said I'd never heard of him, joking that the only footballer's names I knew were Scottish footballers from the 1980s that I'd memorised to try to fit in at school. Again this conversation had zero online footprint. The next day there was an article in my Google news feed about that specific English footballer. I don't recall ever seeing any football related story in my newsfeed, so would never expect to have seen that specific footballer appear by chance.

I'm inclined in this case to believe it was Google buying data on credit card transactions for credit cards linked to the Google account. I keep on meaning to ask around if anyone knows if Google do this. Perhaps someone here knows?
