I’ve had great luck blocking SmartTVs with a PiHole and a custom list. Also adding regex blacklists like “samsungtv” and “roku” seems to help. Granted, I sometimes disable to block to install updates and apps - but it seems to work. My next move is to start whitelisting destination IPs for smart devices and putting them on their own SSID/VLAN.
I would skip the VLAN step and just block communication from the TV to the internet. That way you could still access media on other devices on your lan via DLNA or something

Just curious, what kind of secure database lets anyone independently verify the integrity without needing to trust the entity that hosts the database?

I can envision a chain of signatures that lets anyone validate a complete chain of website versions, but am not familiar with a database that allows the same.

Do you think I’ve never had a difficult to debug problem? Sure it might have been easier to solve with the knowledge of a CS degree but that’s hard to reason about since I lack one (aside: perhaps you should reconsider your perspective on bubbles friend, it’s not as easy as “looking” at something to escape your own limits and biases) but I was still able to solve it.

I do see validity in what you’re saying but I fail to see how it’s as important as you seem to make it out to be. Is it really worth tens of thousands of dollars of debt and 4 years of time spent just to be able to debug stuff faster than your average bear?

"Mr Graham said he was an "optimist", but conceded that the archive had not yet saved as much as he would like. Take YouTube, for example: the team is only archiving a "small fraction" of all the videos published each week."

Is it true one can nudge the IA crawlers to archive a page that would otherwise be ignored?

> Can you be sure it is not connected to the Internet?

Yes, you can be sure. The network capabilities aren't hidden spy equipment. You can disable WiFi and simply not connect Ethernet. The market for your data is relying on the indifference of 99% of TV buyers to data collection. Manufacturers and advertisers -- at least those not too far down the grey market rabbit hole -- don't care enough about the tiny fraction of people that actively thwart this collection activity to employ some sort of legally dubious super sekrit network capability to capture your precious data.

Skin is the same everywhere, it seems disingenuous to claim that one skin area needs different care from another without more evidence. Similarly cast-iron pans seems to be an internet thing, soap and/or powerwashing would presumably work just fine.

The only exception I can think of to soap and water for cleaning is delicate fabrics or sensitive optics, but there the issue is the liquid used rather than the general process.

No, that's not what I said at all. I like it because it's fantastic value for money based on the features you get included with it, all in one place.

I think the conspiracy theory is backwards. We didn’t use hegemony to make people us petrodollars. They used petrodollars because it made the most sense. By dramatically increasing our use of sanctions we’ve turned that on its head. And we are going to see petrodollars become less important.

We aren’t going to go to war with China, Russia or the Euro zone for switching off petrodollars. The opposite conclusion is ludicrous.
> Swiss banks doesn't actually disclose to swiss authorities, even though the have a wealth tax based partially on the money in your bank account.

(i'm swiss)

I believe there is no way in hell they could have passed this legislation if it included giving data of swiss citizens to the swiss government.

People here cherish their banking secrecy and it's still somewhat part of the national identity.

From a swiss point of view it was/is pretty much: The US is pressuring us too much, we'll have to give up banking secrecy, but only for foreigners.

If they didn't do that, i'm fairly certain it would have been shot down by the people with a referendum.

If I used this one weird trick, I'd want it to be compile time checked.

I'd stick that JSON in a separate file, get typescript to compile it "just to check it's OK" then get the compiled code and include it as a string using something like https://webpack.js.org/loaders/raw-loader/, I guess (not used it before).

There might be a leaner way to do this (maybe the whole thing can be done as a webpack loader in one step), but something like this.
You can make a Smart TV into a dumb TV by simply not allowing it to connect to the Internet, ever.
I have been seeing this organization pop up all over the place. Tom Delonge went on the JRE a year an a bit ago and talked about it. It is primarily an entertainment company, and they try to mix science and entertainment and UFO's together.

Personally I think it's all BS. Here's why:

They are giving out tokens to everyone as a form of stock. This creates an incentive for everyone to cohesively lie about UFO's being real. Read the list of board members. Some government officials are using this to retire if they can turn it into a money making enterprise.

In order to make money, they are pushing stories that seem credible. This story in particular is a big fish for them. They recruited the guy involved, made a documentary, and then tricked Congress into talking to someone so they could use it as publicity.

They also claim to have materials "that aren't from this earth", then they backtracked and said they are materials that have a chain of custody "as far back as 1990" that are only now beginning to be made on earth.

The while thing is a giant attempt to monetize conspiracy as entertainment by blurring the lines between fantasy and reality.

And they just might pull it off, there is a market, and they dont need much revenue to make it work.
That will never work. Data will always expand to use up all available storage. It's like trying to build more roads when your city has a traffic problem. You build roads to reduce traffic and improve commute times, and then more people start commuting from further away.
This is a pretty open secret within the industry. Geographic data can be provided via setup (a lot of TV's ask for a zip code on setup) or usually simply via GeoIP lookup.

Dig a bit deeper and you get into service provided by Samba TV and or Inscape and you can find that they're sending back frames of video in a lot of cases to track what you're watching.

This data is becoming a huge mechanism for subsidizing TV sales and the interactivity is being looked at as a huge opportunity to recoup some of the ad spend being lost via streaming and fewer 30 second spots.

With new TV's its time to view them as private as a browser (With less controls).

I don't own a Smart TV, but without this step I'd be very suspicious that the TV would silently try to connect to open wifi networks, or perhaps some kind of hotspot like xfinity or AT&T that the manufacturer made an agreement with.
An acquaintance attempted that with Kindle, by keeping it in flight mode. After some days it popped up a message kindly asking to give it some network access. After a few more days it simply ignored the flight mode and connected to get fresh ads.

Edit: I've checked with my wife who has an ad supported Kindle for over a year and keeps it in flight mode for months at a time. It never did that to her. So either Amazon changed that a long time ago, or I've believed a lie.
You're both right: cigarette filters are made from cellulose acetate, which is a synthetic polymer fiber.
I think regulation is the issue here - the trump administration has a history of fighting regulation.

And although I don't mind california regulating cleaner cars, and everyone wants clean air, water, food and medicine, not every regulation is great.

For example, regulation and electricity.

Why can PG&E charge california residents 0.22/0.27/0.48 per kwh when their cost of electricity is 0.03 per kwh?

This is regulatory capture.
Well, yes, and un-ironically – during the development of a new airplane or bridge design.

You'd obviously want a new, experimental, or prototypical design to fail ASAP so you can fix whatever the problem(s) are sooner than later.

I'm pretty sure most bridge or airplane failures are either due to mistakes made during building or, probably even more often, failing to maintain (and monitor) its condition.

But the whole point of agile is to make, and release, smaller sets of changes at a time precisely so those changes can then be tested or validated more quickly than otherwise. That may – probably is – more difficult with airplanes and bridges versus software so the relevant tradeoffs are different, but the basic point about minimizing the duration of making changes so those changes can be tested sooner seems equally applicable.

Let's think about bridges. I'm sure most bridges use a standard design with standard materials – that part then has already been tested and validated. But even at the stage of evaluating a standard bridge design and whether and how it could be built in a specific location, I'd imagine an 'agile' methodology would be better than a 'waterfall' one in terms of testing or validating a tentative plan, i.e. you'd want to address the highest priority risks first, and 'fail fast'. You wouldn't want to create a final proposal if you knew up-front that there was no way to anchor a bridge of a certain design in the designated location.
The upper atmosphere is a mess of violent winds, so it wouldn't be out of the ordinary. Don't forget a weightless balloon is a lot more sensitive to turbulence than a multi-ton computer-stabilized fighter jet, and those winds can already drop a multi-hundred-ton 747 by tens of feet.

In a hn thread the other day, someone told me their TV will simply connect to any open wifi networks it comes across, just to phone home. I couldn't get the brand or model out of them, though.
He didn't say his hands though, he said his belly button. The two are pretty similar in their location and use in day to day life. If someone got poop on their belly button, I would bet money that they'd feel pretty disgusting until they were able to get home and take a shower.

Relating to my comment above, we let our kids wander around the house naked from time to time. I feel perfectly comfortable letting them sit on the furniture because I know they aren't spreading poop everywhere.

But then again, people let their pets inside, and they put even less effort into post-bathroom cleanup than humans do...
> All our job postings say "CS degree required". But if you have experience and a good resume it absolutely doesn't matter.

These days, even job descriptions at a lot of the FAANG and other big tech companies phrase it as "CS degree or equivalent experience required". Hopefully that's a practice that will trickle down to smaller companies over time.
Because it's 30 years out of date. It's missing three revisions of the language. Teaches a lot of practices that lead to obtuse brittle code riddled with security holes.

Avoid.
"Now, you should definitely get a CS degree or similar if you want to be a programmer. I would have done a lot better having one even though I got by without it. Also, my career path was ridiculous and is entirely non-replicable."

I'm wondering for how long Americans are going to be exploited like that. I mean getting a degree is never a bad idea but in my country (Poland) unis are FREE yet I never went to one and roughly 80% of my programming friends never did or they studied something entirely different. And we're working everywhere from big banks in London through Swiss pharma companies, European Commission in Belgium, to Opera or Google. I never got asked if I have any formal education after my first 2 years in IT. The best programmers I know are mostly all self-taught. Almost all the successful ones are. The "educated" ones often become corporate slaves making pennies in places like Samsung's R&D. I know American unis are top-notch but I suppose it's still better to start learning on your own than to pay hundreds of thousands of dollars for something else than TOP5 or TOP10 unis. And most likely it's even not worth (money-wise) paying that much for those. I suppose we will need not thousands but millions of coders in next decades, right now I'm getting like 50 messages from headhunters any given day, I don't think even if we tried it will be virtually impossible to push so many people through education system at that pace.

Also, especially programming is virtually impossible to learn in any other way than coding for years. It's really handy to have some strong technical background but once you put the time and work in it will work out regardless. Of course again it's better to have the education, but hey, if costs as much as a house maybe it's not the best idea after all. Furthermore ot everyone has to be an architect or CTO (BTW I still know extremely good architects and CTOs without degrees).

tl;dr there are possibly millions of degreeless programmers in Europe, can't wrap my mind around the US education situation, could someone clarify why are things the way they are?

There's no "except" because one cannot conclude how people should write programs from how they do write programs, regardless of circumstances. In any case, languages and their use change. C is 47 years old. Consistent expression structures is more important than analogies to English.

Further, C is not like English and even if it were, one could not conclude that it should be or should continue to be. Moreover, that it was designed by English speakers is not evidence that it is like English or should be like English: most assembly languages were also desiged by English speakers.

It sounds like another Facebook to me, where the business model does make sense but it’s just based on a big secret of selling user data. Here the users are startups, and small companies. It’s no accident that you have to use WeWork’s internet access, you cannot get your own internet unlike with a normal office rental company. It’s also no accident that every visitor needs to sign in to declare whom they are visiting, otherwise you can’t get through the barrier. We don’t have total transparency on who the bond holders are, but just like with Facebook’s early investors, I bet the money comes from people who want the data for themselves.

Imagine how much more valuable it is to see which startups are starting to gain traction. Deep pocketed competitors can swoop in and compete with their business at a vulnerable time. Or VC’s who are wooing a company can see if they are the only bidders or if other funds are emailing them (they probably only see metadata of internet traffic but still valuable). Or recruitment consultants can pay to see who is hiring using general visitor reports Etc.

I think the outrageous shenanigans of the CEO are essential deflections that make the magic show work.

High intensity, collimated laser arrays and phased array transmitters that project EM energy at intersecting cross points to produce three-dimensional plasma shapes. The lasers and beams are invisible, and multiple platforms (satellite & submarine & stealth aircraft) participate in the creation and movement.

The beams focus on a programmed point to start the phenomenon, and then hand off to an operator to steer the cooperative system from a spotter's perch. In this case probably submarine.

As for who owns it? Not the Navy. A secret operation conducted either by The U.S. or Russia, or maybe China.

I was able to purchase it from "Canada Computers" but YMMV in your region etc. Not always easy to get the "business" line of products as a consumer but very often (TVs, laptops) it is preferable to the junk they'll sell to consumers from the big box stores even at the same price-point.
So the smart people or the dumb people need to make the determination as to what are the bad ideas? Or the REALLY SMART PEOPLE like you make that determination? Face it, you're never going to get away from the "benevolent" overseer who figures the truth out for everyone else.
