Make Sunsets Called Out by Jefferies Group on the Future of Climate Investing
Reason #1 why I would never buy an internet-connected camera is all the times people have hacked them. Someone I know recently had a random talk to her out of her cloud-connected baby monitor. The companies who make internet-connected baby monitors do not give a shit about security.

We have an Infant Optics DXR-8 Pro for our baby monitor. It's cheaper than the device mentioned in the article, is not connected to the internet/wifi in any way, and works great. I've just bought another one.
> It would become paid-only or go out of business.

Fantastic. Then people would have to host their videos elsewhere, perhaps on PeerTube.
That's what the media tells you. What we should do is give them the benefit of the doubt until they clear the brainwashing attempts the west tried to put in their curricula. They already said they have no issues with women getting education, let's give them time to clear up the mess that the west made, after 20 years of bombardment and brainwashing and occupation.

A sign of your bigotry to straw man the argument and then describe the veil that our women wear as "tents". It's a sad spectacle that the "white man's burden" exists to this day.
Try convincing all the anti-passkey folks first
While it's good to know you don't need WSL to work on what I work on, I still don't think that's a good argument for why I would _need_ to use Windows at work.

For this type of work, just let your workers use whatever machine they want. If the employer can't afford the difference between a Macbook Pro and a comparable PC, that's a huge red flag for the employer for many reasons.
As a non profit, your goal is to show as little profit as possible. So you play hide the money in board salaries, "outside consultants", executive pay and retirement plans, etc.
Wouldn't ships be able to intercept these?
I agree. The sinking of the Moskva last year highlights how vulnerable ships are now.
And limited range. We are still deep in the era where Navy is the dominant means of force projection.
> I'm not aware of Illinois law, and maybe it is different there. US federal law says that tipped workers cannot be forced to share tips with untipped back-of-house staff unless the tipped workers are paid normal minimum wage. In which case all non-supervisory staff can be added to the same tip pool.

Okay, but we're talking about Chicago, which is in Illinois, and in Illinois this is illegal.
From the perspective of the users/customers/people the harm was done to, the company is the abstraction that they deal with. Companies can be hit with a billion/trillion dollar judgment. The injured parties don't care which executive at the company will get a smaller bonus this year -- they're not unfairly blaming.

Separate from that, if there's laws and regulations, the company could also be hit with fines. Officials could also investigate individual culpability for bad behavior by people within they company, but that possibility doesn't mean that any kind of holding companies responsible would be unfair.
No they're not losers, the opposite in fact. Contrary to what the media tells you, many women are happy. Comments here are proving my points further. We don't need western "liberation" thank you very much.
Yes, I agree. The real concerns are already here. Long term risk is impossible to evaluate.

I'm more concerned about the societal implications for AI used as "intended".

Why was this posted? It's a great project that's widely known and pretty much ancient in terms of OSS projects.
Well, you don't _have_ to give a tip even if prompted. Part of the struggle here is learning to ignore any internal shaming mechanism for valid conditions where no tip is warranted - specifically, taking a product off a shelf and charging you money for it. There is no circumstance where I'm tipping in a retail environment, specifically basic shopping activities. I'm starting to wean myself off of pandemic-era tipping for take-out orders (I tip 10% for to-go now).

Part of the whole donation industry and now tipping-everywhere practice is just basic money-harvesting, like putting a net in the river and seeing what they can harvest from randos at scale. But there is some interest-balancing that needs to be considered, specifically my need to not hemorrhage money. At some level the expectation gets kind of insulting. Checking out at a grocery store? Want to round up to donate to some non-audited cause you never heard of that has a plausibly good name? Wassamatta? You hate kids/puppies/poor/refugees/war victims/elderly???? No, I hate being taken advantage of and hate my kindness being leveraged, GTFO.
But _should_ they go to just that particular worker?

In HS, I washed dishes in a restaurant in my hometown. The waiters (all white, young attractive 20 somethings) would _occasionally_ share out a few dollars of tips to us on a very busy night. The dishwashers were highschool students immigrants. The work for dishwashers naturally scales linearly with the number of orders.

Certainly I think it's BS that as a customer, I'm not sure whether the management is just taking these (and telling their workers "oh, you're getting minimum wage; you don't need tips"). But if we're gonna be tipping for _every_ service, should the person that takes your coffee order get the whole tip, rather than the person who's making drinks, or doing prep work in the back?
Knowing this was possible along with the privacy concerns is the main reason I told friends and family not to buy a baby monitor for us. Instead I used Polycom VOIP phones and Asterisk PBX install to act like intercoms throughout the house using the DIDs 10, 20, 30, etc. Then I made extensions 11, 22, 33, etc to add a SIP-header to the call so that the receiving handset auto answers. Works really well, my wife and I use it every day, and our now 6 year old has started to too.

Ran Asterisk at work so it made sense to put it to use at home, albeit without any external connectivity.
They won't tell you in advance.
Danger.

Yes, it degrades trust, but no, this does not result in enlightenment. It results in a depoliticized populace that let the rulers get away with almost anything. See: Russia. Domestic Russian propaganda isn't designed to be believable, it's designed to make people lose trust in everything and cynically withdraw from politics, turning democracy into dictatorship.

See also: terrorism. It does not "shake society awake," it sends society running towards the nearest strong-man archetype that promises safety, which is the exact opposite of "awake."
I don’t think you are reading this correctly. People could access (most importantly) the full raw DNA profile. And many of those breached were from people who opted in a “Relatives” feature even if their account was secure.
I can't quite figure out what the average transaction price measure KBB is using here is. going by their tables by category (for example, an average of $26,379 for compacts)[1] and that the price is now below sticker[2], it looks like they're not using the OTD/TTL cost and just the portion related to the vehicle.

Much of healthcare is provided by private, for-profit companies. Even public, non-profit healthcare providers will use services (including genetic testing) from private, for-profit companies.
> ... only to find their device left with less functionality than a $30 webcam unless more money is handed over. $400, it would appear, is not enough to buy the device and run the services behind the scenes until Junior is old enough...

It's crazy that the company's action is legal.
The Wojcicki-Brin family tree seems like its own mini-map of Silicon Valley!

Hyperspectral Data for Most of the Earth (NASA Emit)

Wait, that wasn't real?
The idea of hiring straight from B-schools, without experience, tells me B-schools schools have decided to sell out to maximize student throughput. It used to be that very few people got accepted to B-schools without at least a decade or so of experience.
Absolutely. It's painful spending time and effort on this kind of thing. I even paid $100 for a plugin hoping it would solve my problems... It didn't and then I also had to spend more time trying to get a refund lol.
Sounds like a no-brainer to implement an open source solution for baby monitoring, such a universal need. Tech wise, RTSP feed from a camera + motion detection model + homeassistant (maybe) and bob's your uncle?

But I guess the ones who need this the most (parents) also lack the time to do anything about it.
Most of my peers (in the socialist republic of EU) work 4x week to minimise the money that gets wasted in taxes. Often times when people progress they just ask to keep the same salary and work less so there is less taxable income for the taxman to steal (and rates are not progressive: if you earn even a penny over a certain amount you pay significantly more taxes on your whole income).

We are all contractors to minimise taxation so the company gets to pay 4/5 days and gets most of the productivity anyway.

For managers it's a no brainer, for employees, I don't think the extra day of freedom is worth the loss in pay.

I guess in a stricter company we would be punished for not being as productive on friday.
> $400, it would appear, is not enough to buy the device and run the services behind the scenes until Junior is old enough to pull it off the wall and give the thing a good chewing.

I have no idea what the BOM is on this product but that seems entirely possible? I haven't checked the options but I am sure there are cheaper options that offer fewer features.

I'm really tired of "oh so you're telling me it costs money to do something" articles. It really might! It's also possible the company is lazily trying to get some recurring revenue on its balance sheet. Without actually being inside their process you really can't know.

I think non-profit can be profitable, they just don't distribute profit to shareholders.

Distributing profit through pay, plans and bonuses sound like blatant fraud and they likely trying to avoid it.
Not my experience. The open source AMD drivers are much more pleasant to deal with than the closed source Nvidia ones.
I think you're getting the definition of acronym mixed up with that of abbreviation. An acronym is an initialism that is pronounced as if it is a natural word. For example, NASA is both an initialism and an acronym. FBI is an initialism, but not an acronym.

Well that's the dictionary definition anyway. In practical terms, I think most people use acronym as a synonym of initialism, at least in the US. This is one of the places where the dictionary definition doesn't match with real world usage.

It's possible, but keep in mind our standard of care for the flu was/is a lot better than for covid. There's all the stuff that was basically grandfathered in that you can take for the flu that you'd not get if hospitalized for covid, especially in the early days.

In many places, steroids. Antibiotics to prevent secondary infection, and antihistamines to help inhibit the autoimmune response/"Cytokine storm." Also, in the old days there was a pneumonia treatment called NAC, that's helpful for both covid and long covid, but not Standard of Care.

(Also note the secondary infections are supposedly one of the main triggers of the cytokine storm.)
Oh companies are absolutely to blame, but so are the politicians we'd need to actually regulate them.

Enforcing regulations requires quite a few steps first, from defining the scope and likely granting new authority to regulators to actually drafting regulations that are complete and not full of loop holes.

Your argument is also based on the premise that consumers aren't able to make the best choices for themselves and must be forced into it by regulators. I simply refuse to believe this, what are we even doing here if we think real reform can only come from all powerful authorities forcing it upon us?
I’m stunned no-one was able to talk him out of that one. “Pay-for-attention” is an _awful_ mechanic; even dating/hookup apps, who to some extent depend on it, generally have to ration it; you can’t just pay to be at the top of the grid/stack of cards all the time.
Thanks for taking the time and effort to respond. It will take me awhile to think about the points you're making. I'm not sure if you're wanting me to respond or not, but I think I would like to respond after thinking about what you've written.

There's been a very recent step change in "AI"

We would do to remember thw world before. The abuse of digital
technology for surveillance, fraud, impersonation, spamming, hacking,
tracking, behavioural prediction and influence..... an entire world of
shit, was already doing just great.

It would be a shame to fixate on "AI" as a Hollywood villain, which
would be to miss the real problem. For the past 40 years digital
technology has been on a trajectory to dehumanise and dominate. Let's
think about why, and who is doing the deeds.

> I suspect my next car purchase will be complicated by this as well.

Yeah. I bought my car 5 years ago, and even then it was a trend to stick a cellular modem in the car to sell a subscription remote start/car tracking service.

It was hard, but I determined that my car didn't have a modem (by asking the sales guy if they needed to install a part to activate the service, or if they could just do it from their computer over-the-phone).

My wife's care does have a modem, and I've been tempted to disconnect the box for those features (it's separate from the head unit), or install a dummy load in place of the antenna.
For someone who doesn't work in this ecosystem, can you elaborate? What's the real situation currently?
I understand it, but I also haven't had any trouble since I figured out the right procedure for me on fedora (which probably took some time, but it's been so long that I can't remember). Whenever I read people having issues it sounds like they are using a package installed via dnf for the driver/etc. I've always had issues with dkms and the like and just install the latest .run from nvidia's website whenever I have a kernel update (I made a one-line script to call it with the silent option and flags for signing for secure boot so I don't really think about it). No issues in a very long time even with the whackiness of prime/optimus offloading on my old laptop.
ATP is not war porn. The MSM has dropped the ball on reporting on Russian state terrorism and its invasion of Ukraine. You have to go to open sources to have any decent idea whats going on there day to day. Or watch someone like ATP who aggregates it and explains why he shows what he shows (or doesn’t). One of his sources, Andrew Perpetua, specifically watches w mix of 2/3 Russian coverage and 1/3 Ukrainian to cut out the noise-as well as just looking at satellite images on a live stream. Not war porn.

He lists the evidence for why he thinks he’s being targeted in the article.

This week I upgraded my kernel on a 2017 workstation to 6.5.5 and when I rebooted and looked at 'dmesg' there were no less than 7 kernel faults with stack traces in my 'dmesg' from amdgpu. Just from booting up. This is a no-graphical-desktop system using a Radeon Pro W5500, which is 3.5 years old (I just had the card and needed something to plug in for it to POST.)

I have come to accept that graphics card drivers and hardware stability ultimately comes down to whether or not ghosts have decided to haunt you.
No, but it's a good idea to have some hypotheses or plans. They will likely be wrong at first, but that is better than nothing. Often you can look around at similar things to find some decent starting points
Theoretically possible. But have you tried it? I forgot to tip once when I visited the US and the waitress nearly assaulted me.
Now that's crazy talk ;)
This is an absolutely correct question to ask. It's also a good question to ask people who claim they can visualize things well, but can't draw.

I think people vastly, vastly overstate how well they can actually visualize something in their mind. Most people can't visualize a circle of a solid color and change the color in their mind, let alone visualize a face or anything significant.

Well, one key difference is that 800V/lower-amps fast charging at DC chargers is one of the major advantages of the E-GMP platform Hyundai uses…10-80% under 20 minutes on an 800V charger.

But on a 400V system like Tesla, those low amps mean especially slow charging. So this guts the specific buying point that made the car special, if Tesla stays at 400V, and severely devalues it. It’ll charge like the famously awful Chevy Bolt.

CHAdeMO has been on its way out long enough that I assume anyone with a Leaf still on the road knew what they were getting into when they bought it. You buy that car to charge at home or work. The Ioniq 5 was supposed to be road trip capable.

They presumably know that _something_ has happened to it, though; the identity of the idiot responsible is somewhat beside the point. Like, no regular user could possibly not have noticed the changes to it over the past year.

They were doing important Parkinson's research maybe 10 years ago. I sent in my dad's sample and mine. No idea what they got from my dad (it was a voluntary thing that didn't give you account access, just participating in their research).

I didn't have any of the known genetic markers for Parkinson's at the time and requested they destory my data and sample.
Honestly always fascinated by this kind of line. Like pedantry aside, it always reads like we are all working together towards some big press briefing in the future, to let everyone else know about climate change for the first time. Like who is the audience here? The swing voters here aren't going to decide the election!
That's true in a lot of places.

This has been my experience as well. You can even show them that they have been a part of breaches but not even that is motivating enough.
I wish that people who invested in baby monitors that monitor breathing also took the time to learn infant CPR. On the relatively small chance that your child stops breathing from something that can be recovered from waiting for an ambulance isnt an option. Also breathing monitors go off if the child moves away from the padded area and it's enough to give a parent heart failure of their own.
Reasoning is probably that they want you to listen to what they want you to listen, not that you want to listen.
Is this legal? I know decompiling is legal in some areas for specific reasons. But I don't think that you can open source the result of that decompilation. You end up with an artifact based on something you don't have the rights to relicense.
