In all the situations you described, a powerful engine just makes the maneuver more risky. Sure you can turn right and get up to speed on a 50mph road instantly, but you having a faster car doesn't make the person coming up the road behind you have a faster reaction time, so they will still end up slamming on the brakes and causing traffic when they see you pull out and cut them off. All these other maneuvers aren't hazardous if you do them legally and wait your turn. If you are driving safely and legally, there is no reason that you need improved brakes designed to stop you from 100mph or suspension designed to take a sharp turn at 80mph.

Believe me, I see these fast cars zipping on and off freeways and roads all day in my city, and they absolutely do not make the situation any more safe for anyone at all. They just create more chaos and uncertainty accelerating and decelerating so fast and jerking around the car so much, and a lot more noise on the street since even classy cars like Mercedes Benzes have this obnoxious throaty exhaust now as it seems, at least for the fast models.
“I don’t have any idea how to do right by this work, so I’m returning your commission deposit” is not discriminatory.

“I don’t accept commissions from protected classes” is discriminatory.

The artist preemptively declared the latter, and was promptly found to be discriminating under existing law.

If you’re asked to bake a cake and you don’t think you can do their needs justice, saying so is not discriminatory, and is not itself sufficient evidence of a pattern that could be used against you successfully.

If you refuse to bake cakes for every non-hetero wedding in a region, those you refuse will probably figure this out and will probably succeed at a discrimination case against you.

That may not be how things play out. Vaccination may facilitate immune escape[1]

"Given that therapeutics (vaccines and antibody-based therapies) target mainly the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein, the selection pressures that favour the emergence of new variants carrying immune escape mutations generated in chronic infections24,25,26 will be similar to those selecting for mutations that allow reinfections within the wider population27,28,29. Therefore, sequencing of viruses associated with prolonged infections will provide useful information on mutations that could contribute to increased transmissibility or escape from vaccine-mediated immunity."

I feel like the distributions have completely dropped the ball in this regard.

They're positioned ideally to at least have some measure of what packages are most frequently installed. Even with the use of volunteer public mirrors that share no access logs with the distributor, the package management architecture could be structured to consult distro-controlled metadata servers in locating the mirrors and preserving some visibility into which packages are most installed. They control the package tooling, they should have considered this.

With even vague knowledge of which packages are most used, they could be distributing donations to those upstream projects. They obviously already have the dependency graph as well, so even without popularity metrics, can already know which packages are cornerstones (kernel, libc, openssl, systemd, mesa immediately come to mind).

The distro installers and package management tools should be providing convenient ways for end-users to donate via whatever mechanisms, paypal, patreon, bitcoin, etc. Just give me one mechanism to throw money at my distro of choice with the clear indication that it will be dispersed to upstream developers of important software. Also give me an easy way to explicitly allocate my funds to specific packages if I am so inclined. Make it all transparent on a web site where the money goes on a high level, how much is coming in, and which projects are getting what %age of that, what % is administration overhead, etc.
Yes. Modern facial recognition systems (not sure which specific one his laptop used though, so what I am saying below might not apply to this specific case in the OP) use 3D mapping to get not just a flat image, but try to reconstruct the shape of your head/face. That's why when you try to set up FaceID on an iPhone, it asks you to turn your head in a circle a few times, so that the system is able to get all the necessary sides and angles of your head to create the internal 3d model.

Other people can most likely still unlock your device if they make a perfectly molded silicone mask of your head+face or something else similarly complex, but a photo of your face printed on a piece of paper wouldn't work.

> If people are using the software in accordance with the license that you afford it, then that's it, there's nothing more you can ask.

Actually, I like people to do more than the bare minimum that's legally required of them. Unfortunately corporations usually don't do that.
Sometimes, but it depends on the vendor. Generally a picture of someone is enough to recognize them. So, if the system is just a monocular RGB image capture, then there needs to be another layer to the system to address when a biometric is spoofed with something like a picture.
>Use strong lock-screen pins/passwords: a 6-digit PIN is sufficient if the device wipes itself after 10 incorrect
password attempts.

im calling BS. NSO and others have demonstrated repeatedly they can (and do) bruteforce these pin based logins quickly and efficiently without triggering the wipe using sidechannel attacks on running services and software over the air and through USB. use a PASSPHRASE.

>Consider using Biometrics (e.g., fingerprint, face) authentication for convenience to protect data of minimal sensitivity

remember: the fifth amendment does not cover biometrics . if a DUI case can forcibly extract your blood, then you can and will be required to present your face to unlock a laptop. use passphrases.

>DO NOT jailbreak or root the device.

this often allows people to remove pre-installed spyware just as easily as it can be installed.
It's already been posted to the TWIM room so it should be in it.
I don't mean entirely -- I mean conditionally. Like iOS and MacOS does. If you don't unlock them for a period or time, or after a restart (and a couple of other conditions), they will ask for a password even when you have biometric login enabled.
After Many a Summer Dies a Swan is perhaps best remembered today for having been mentioned in Christopher Isherwood's A Single Man, but it's definitely worth reading. The 1950s saw a number of British ex-pats in Los Angles writing novels about their experiences. Isherwood's novel is another classic of the genre although the best of the lot, in my opinion, is Evelyn Waugh's The Loved One (just skip the atrocious movie of the same title which was so bad, Waugh stipulated that Hollywood would never again get to film his work).
> Can't stand this phrase that literally came out of nowhere.

They are authentication and authorization just like a username/password set. I don't see the Supreme Court allowing this if they won't allow compulsion of releasing a password. Right against self incrimination. Should be interesting though.
Ah, very clever. Targeting the TPM to bypass FDE. Looks like having a disk encryption password is key. I used to have my boot partition encrypted with the same password as my primary user and it looks like even that would have thwarted this.
they are both a username and a password as a single entity, they identify the user and verify said user

I don't understand why so many people are obsessed how the company can find out whether you got the vaccine. I mean, as an employee you could lie or otherwise misrepresent your status and probably get away with it, at least for a short time, before they terminated your employment.

No, it already was a totalitarian government from the start. Also Soviet Russia is an excellent example of the failures of communism, citing it in support is not helping your argument.

They are very similar. They are both workplace safety policies. They both reduce danger to other employees. They both place conditions on entering the workplace based on whether or not you put something into your body. You could say the same thing about a "no intoxication at work" policy, especially if work involves heavy machinery.

Whether it's mandating what goes into your body or what doesn't, the aim of the policy is the same: Preventing the reckless behavior of one person from harming other employees.

EDIT because I can't reply:

I don't understand what you mean by "give up control of your body". There is no evidence that taking a COVID vaccine results in loss of control of your body or limbs, or remote control of it by someone else. Hundreds of millions of people have taken it, and they all remain fully in control of their bodies.
i think the difference is compelled speech - you don't have to 'say' your biometric user/pass combo
> However if said proof would be constitute information under ADA then you wouldn't have to share it no?

Most workplace privacy/anti-discrimination rules have exceptions for sufficient safety or other necessity, very few (despite popular general portrayals) are completely unconditional bars; not sure exactly how this applies to ADA here.
Just to check, I can make my website available only through IPv6 and this won't cause any issues?

My kids, who are too young to be vaccinated. I don't appreciate you being blase about their health.

That tiny bit of room for doubt is still much smaller than that for the virus itself.

For example, once you get over chickenpox, the virus remains dormant in your nerve cells and could rear its head in the form of shingles later on in life. Who knows what long-term effects COVID will have? History shows for the overwhelming amount of vaccines no random side-effects after ~3 months.

There are outliers, of course, but since Delta looks like it will makes its rounds and infect many people, it's not quite the same in terms of anthrax exposure which is why I'm cool with Google mandating the COVID vaccine from a risk/benefit perspective.

Can someone substantiate this idea that it's improbable for a virus to surmount these two evolutionary obstacles highlighted below? I'll copy the quote for the idea I've seen circulating, the bold part is the idea I'd like to hear challenged and would like to learn more about what its foundation is predicated upon.

For ultimately, in order to create a human pandemic, an animal virus has to accomplish **two very difficult things**. First, it has to successfully infect a person, and then it needs to jump from one person to the next rapidly enough to get ahead of the rate at which sufferers recover or die. SARS2 is a master of this trick, but the closest wild relatives seem to be neutralised, with spike proteins built to invade horseshoe bat cells, not human cells. To trigger a pandemic in people they need substantial evolutionary retooling.

Not sure what you mean, but there's definitely no need to type addresses anywhere.

Router Advertisements propagate the subnet information (prefix, dns server, etc.) to clients in the network. Prefix delegation allows downstream routers to request subnets from upstream routers. MDNS lets network devices announce their services to the subnet.
It probably hasn't been (or has barely been) a couple of months since someone not in a higher risk group could have easily been fully vaccinated (2 weeks after second shot).

> remember: the fifth amendment does not cover biometrics . if a DUI case can forcibly extract your blood, then you can and will be required to present your face to unlock a laptop.

On the iPhone theres a neat trick: If you seem to be in a situation where you might be forced to hand over your phone (and unlock it with bio), hold down the power button for a second or two (secretly/inconspicuously in your pocket or wherever your phone is). This will disable fingerprint unlocking and you will be forced to enter PIN.

Doesn't seem to work on Android (11 at least) though.
IANAL, but the precedents set by all the battles that were fought in previous decades over diseases likes AIDS/HIV seem to make it very hazardous for employers to demand medical records. Liberals once fought hard to keep medical records out of employers hands, and won overwhelmingly, so I don't see how Google or any employer can actually enforce this without serious risk of a class action lawsuit.

A 50Mb/10Mb connection often cost around 30€/Month + 70€ one time in Germany but:

- You often only get it in city areas, I say city areas because metro areas include small settlements around the city still connected with the metro. And in many experience it's quite likely the best you can get in that settlements is either way less or unreliable high latency LTE.

- There are faster contracts like 250Mb/40Mb for 45€/Month but availability is spotty, and companies will sell it to you even if not technical available. E.g. most 100Mb contracts say serving 60Mb would still be "valid" for your 100Mb contract.

- It's not uncommon that many DSL of different people will go through choke points in areas with high population density but not that much money, so speeds dropping sometime randomly noticeable are not uncommon.

- It's common that if there are technical problems (which are not uncommon when switching providers) it can take days to fix them, my previous (small) company went a month without proper internet connection due to this, they fell back to using a LTE router temporary but they had to buy it themself it wasn't provided by the internet provider.

A good point is that all the internet contracts tend include a land line phone number and tend to have "unlimited" data volume (which isn't always truly unlimited, but close enough to unlimited).

Frequent stories include internet being so bad that it frequently is short term temporary(<15min) unavailable, randomly temporary super slow internet, or a supposedly 100Mb internet connection frequently slowing down to close to 1Mb causing video conferences to fail. And that is in the city.

Outside of cities it's common to have insanely slow internet all the time to a point that people fall back to use LTE->WLAN routers, but then it's common to hear that the LTE is frequently overloaded around "rush hours" making people at the "outer ranges" of the closest LTE tower lose connection.

The state of the German internet infrastructure is kinda a sad joke.

Through I should note that things differ depending on the area of Germany you are in.

Anyway the best thing I can buy (and get) in my area (in a relatively wealthy area of Berlin) is ~60Mb/10Mb connection which is somewhat reliable (fails 0-4 times every day for ~1-5min each, but it only happens between 2am and 6am, so ok, not a problem and at least one failure is probably the router).

EDIT: Just to be clear the biggest joke are not the ISP's but the politicians which let themself be bribed not only to tolerate but actively support this situation. Through it's also incompetence not to long ago some politician responsible for making regulations in this area stated (and believed) that ???Kb (forgot the actual value but it was less then 1Mb) is high speed internet. It's sad if politician are stuck years in the past and are so arrogant and incompetent that educating them about their mistake is destined to fail.
