Not in the legal sense.

Per ChatGPT the government agency that can sue you for false advertising is FTC, not DMV.

One of the DMV claims is that Tesla misrepresents FSD capability but they didn't sue Tesla for false advertising.

Furthermore, it's not really a lawsuit.

Per https://www.theregister.com/2022/08/08/tesla_california_auto... DMV "filed with the Golden State' Office of Administrative Hearings (OAH) and allege that the company violated its manufacturer and dealer Occupational Licenses."

They want Tesla to respond that notice and "If Tesla chooses to respond, there will be discovery and response filings, leading to a hearing before an OAH administrative law judge. And if Tesla dislikes the result, it has the option to file an appeal in Superior Court."

Tesla wants (among other things) a jury trial, not a decision by OAH administrative law judge.
Do you rewrite the Linux kernel as-is in Rust or try something new? Would/should a Linux in Rust look the same?
I’d guess, without knowing the details, this is already how it is done? Guessing can only take you so far, not to mention some pages has no straight lines (and I think you need orthogonal lines for the reconstruction to be effective?) and some has deceivingly straight lines (or even slanted lines.)

What is described above is something I’ve seen in a documentary. They have a very fancy camera and the person holding the book can just slowly flipping through the pages, and it can reconstruct the flat pages.

I guess the problem is not technology or mathematical model behind it, but how to make it cheap. It is analogous to Google’s self driving car, that you want to solve the same problem with much cheaper technology.
You don't have to believe in infinite growth, the problem with the model that makes the scary bit after the slopes change to down are all BS because of:
"However, it is important to note that the connections in the model and the recalibration are only valid for the rising edge, as many of the variables and equations represented in the model are not physical but socio-economic. It is to be expected that the complex socio-economic relationships will be rearranged and reconnected in the event of a collapse. World3 holds the relationships between variables constant. Therefore it is not useful to draw further conclusions from the trajectory after the tipping points"

That tells you this model disregards how every single societal crisis in the past was solved or at least mitigated: A massive change to the order of society (think germanic tribes conquering rome, magna carta type stuff, Napoleon et al taking France from a monarchy to an anarchy to an empire and, after calming down a bit, to a republic, etc. etc.).
> as they aren't uniformly accurate.

of course they're not. no broad generalization can be fully accurate. There's always counter examples.

Also, not that it matters, being on the internet and all, but you literally don't know me and couldn't be more wrong about my situation.
I can imagine a use case. For complicated queries, you end up performing a Cronenberg on your data in order to smash it all together with large join chains, or even creating new json columns that effectively return other "tables". If its performance critical, this is often the best option.

For most queries, a single table makes perfect sense. But in the real world things aren't usually so neat.

Harness the Power of Narrative Patterns
Paolo Bonavoglia gave a talk on Venetian cryptography at this year’s Histocrypt, here’s the slide on the timeline

Summary of the cryptography of the Republic of Venice

... - 1510 Prehistory : archival vacuum

1510-1578 The Golden age of codebreakers (Soro, Ludovici, Borghi, Marin)- Venice had the most effective team of code breakers, if indeed even the pope and the emperor asked the help of Venice in decrypting intercepted

- 1578-1600 The Golden age of eipher designers (Franceschi, Partenio) -
They designed stronger ciphers, fearing that other states could have equally good code breakers. Franceschi proposed true ciphers, i.e., polyalphabetic ciphers like his cifra delle caselle. Partenio aimed instead at enhanced nomenclators with super-encryptions.

1600 - 1620 Interlude: indeed both ciphers were abandoned as too complicated and slow. A z10, a very simple cipher was in use.

• 1620 - 1650 Medici's years: last attempts to reconcile safety with ease and speed of use.

1650 - 1797 The unstoppable decline

Agreed, most basic approaches just assume that a page is a rectangle and that you just need to apply perspective correction.

I realize this is beating a dead horse, but it really is a shame that microkernels didn't win for human-facing Unix systems. This issue was recognized and basically solved decades ago, and we're still almost there.
I don't think it's false advertising to say that Android has alternative app stores. I primarily use apps from an alternative store and it works well.
I keep getting an ad which claims to be the "Tesla of heaters" it even shows the tesla logo when they say this. If anything I am surprised that Elon is not suing them (youtube) just for fun (given the problems he is having with ads).

If anything it would be an easy way for him to publicly show that scammy ads are a global problem and not just an X issue. Although I think it can be solved in a nanosecond if there was enough will.
Encouraging. I hope the increasing drumbeat of awareness and advocacy around this reaches a critical mass soon. I'm not naive enough to think it will solve all security problems, but it will reduce the attack surface so, so much.

Or when the Israel/Hamas war broke out, the number of propaganda ads from Israel/the IDF was outright disturbing. Most of them spewing the nonsense of Israel being "the holy ones" and they are fighting the "evil animals". Just repugnant rhetoric.

In my experience, they're inexperienced with the world and of a background where problems like these are only hypothetical, and therefore very black and white. It's easy to get behind the feel-good answer if you know nothing about the problem other than a Vox explainer you read 5 minutes ago. They don't know what real harm reduction actually looks like, because that would take more than hitting Like and Share.

"Wow! Homeless people still exist! In my city?! That's not very nice! And the police threw away the cover photo lady's tent and pepper-sprayed her friends sleeping bag? That's really not very nice! All to clean up the area for the visit of some official?"

The violence with which many camps are removed is abhorrent to many, as is the idea of shuffling them around for mere cosmetic purposes (not to actually get them into a better place), so there's a naive "everybody be nice! leave those poor people alone!" attitude that doesn't actually care about pesky details.

Since their experience is hypothetical and they're idealizing and romanticizing The Homeless, discussion on practical realities like the number of violent felons and sex offenders in camps is shut down with a classic "that never happens". They'll pretend it's some kind of made-up minority and not the bulk of people who can't/won't go to a shelter (i.e, because they have warrants or have been banned for bad behavior).

Sure, they got what they asked for, but I don't believe they ever really considered what they were asking for, beyond "stop being mean".

Statistically, what are the chances that they fail open with

- someone bought a ticket with someone else’s name

- they got through biometric checks where they verify your ID and look at a picture to see if it matches

- the scanners fail to detect something dangerous

- and the person meant to do something wrong?

It's literally as simple as installing a cross-platform app. Apple is not stopping you from doing that.

And using a third party app/protocol is pretty much the only way right now. Even most Android users don't use RCS among themselves, because only newer phones have it enabled by default and it only works in some apps.
That viewpoint is both draconian and fiscally irresponsible

That was the most brilliant part of Rust lang design, when I thought about it.

There will always need to be unsafe ops in highest performance, low level coding.

But in the vast majority of use cases, there only need to be a few.

So huge security win being able to isolate those vs "somewhere in the entire codebase."
What's the uptake of Rust as far as Linux kernel dev goes? Is it being positively welcomed and seeing a rise in usage or is it still at PoC stage? Any ongoing rewrites of important subsystems?

The legal authority to surveil itself should be considered enough harm in my opinion. It fundamentally damages right to privacy, harm caused by the actual surveillance itself shouldn't be needed if the legal system is really designed to protect our rights.

That is the ideal solution, but some people use it to track sleep, that require you to have it in your wrist while sleeping instead of charging.

For some time i used my older Serie 3 for sleep tracking while the serie 6 charged for the day, then the Serie 3 would charge during the day. That until they released the updated sleep tracker that was not available for the serie 3.

Now I personally charge mine while i am in the shower. But i have the battery run out on me some times.
If it wasn't significant in terms of Apple's profits why would they not just charge 15%...

I think my comment was maybe ambiguous.

I have no idea if iOS or Android is better (or maybe if iOS is actually worse on some basic level, but they can rely on the single store to reach parity).

But, their justification is at least plausible. Do I think they actually telling the truth? I think it at least is a case of financially motivated reasoning. But they haven’t completely given it away.

Google has by being willing to open up as long as some financial requirements are met.
> Data should be stored as normalized as possible, but queries are supposed to denormalize to present information in the desired format.

Nit: data should be stored as normalized as possible, if your use-case prioritizes fast writes over fast reads. There are other benefits to normalization, but in practice they pale in comparison to the performance shift.

If spoofing the user agent fixes the issue despite being on ARM, then this does sound like a legitimate issue.

Your point about separating TOTP being more secure is a good one and I acknowledge it. I simply find storing the TOTP together with the password manager to be a reasonable compromise between security and convenience.

Sinking through a cloud drive is better because it diffuses the value proposition of hacking the cloud drive. If someone hacks The cloud provider they are likely to find a bunch of ripped videos and pictures of children and cats, with the occasional sensitive file here and there. Thus it makes less sense as a hacking target while still having lots of the same protections and professional oversight as any other cloud provider.

The value proposition of hacking a password manager SaaS is much higher so it becomes much more worth someone's time to hit.

It's like the difference between storing gold in a lock box in a bank and storing gold in a lockbox in a storage rental facility. Storage rental still has guards and locks and cameras, but will not attract the attention of dedicated, organize efforts to extract value like the bank will.
That is an oft repeated myth. A recent study by UCSF of California homelessness found that 90% of homeless Californians became homeless while already living in California, and 75% still live in the same county as they did when they became homeless [0]. Locals are approximately 90% of the problem.

I'm not asking to be the mayor of the App Store, just the mayor of my own phone.
I live in Lisbon and I don't see how "downtown Lisbon started to look pretty badly recently". Street drug users, seemingly mostly/wholly homeless, seem to be concentrated in an area I wouldn't call downtown. I don't really know what they do to keep it that way though. Also Porto seems to be an entirely different story from what I've seen there.

In any case, Portugal's strategy was supposed to be diverting funds from the narcotics police to rehabilitation efforts. But those funds have steadily eroded over the years with cost-cutting measures such as the merger of the autonomous drug agency into the main healthcare service. It's not too surprising if it is falling short of its initial success.

Another thing to consider is the inseparability of homelessness and drug abuse issues. It doesn't seem to be possible address one without the other, rising homelessness will inevitably bring more drug abuse. (Still I see fewer homeless people in downtown Lisbon than in Barcelona that won't even let you have a beer in the park).
Oh boy... Nothing is mandated here. These are just suggestions from experts. Don't take them if you don't want to.

Regarding your last sentence: the European HQ might not exactly help for non-EU customers, but much much more so for actual EU customers (which is a multi billion Dollar market by itself). Sensitive EU companies would not use Pinecone, even if they wanted to.
Only because we have been boiled to be ok with it.

It used to just be x-ray and a bag scan. Now it is a backscatter plus a pat-down if required plus a bag scan. If you get flagged on either, your hands get swabbed down as well. The tech and number of searches is only going to increase over time as more contracts get in on the TSA grift.

I have zero doubts at some point they will also begin domestic device scans ("just plug the handy USB-C into your device and hang tight for a few while we ~~download all its contents~~ search for terrorism!) like they already apparently do for international flights under the guise of national security and making sure you aren't plotting something.

The self-service TSA booths are to save money on their minimum wage security staff, not to relax security. It increases the amount of surveillance they can pack in by putting you individually through a chokepoint.

Think of what you could do if you could lock people into a booth by themselves as they do tasks to be let out. I am being a bit hyperbolic but singling out a person in a potentially enclosed box opens the door massively to techniques such as strip searches (you don't even have to move rooms, how convenient, thanks TSA!) and illegal searches (ugh, really, just let us do it. It'll take 3 minutes and besides, no one will ever believe you that we asked because it's just us here), etc.

Then you get into the fun tech that is opened up by having a person isolated such as bomb detection through analyzing residue in the air, far more cameras that can be analyzed by AI/ML ("your left eye twitched 27% more than average: TERRORIST") and analysts at scale, mandatory facial recognition and other biometrics collection (a big issue with facial rec is making sure no one interferes, it's very easy to detect a face when there is only one in the room and you can have the perfect solid color background)

Indeed, I get the gist of the message, however I’m just highlighting how much advanced electronics and software drive something as ‘mundane’ as a washing machine motor to improve its efficiency [0].

This often requires real-time software calculation of precision timing for FETs that control the motors. Very loosely related to what an ECU does in cars.

I agree this is different to the DRM/internet connectivity stuff, but does disservice to the rest of the electronics and software housed within.

Does big Cola advertise on youtube? I haven't seen their ads at all (but since I don't drink soda maybe their profiles worked and coke isn't wasting adds on me?). Most of the big advertising plays elsewhere don't seem to be on youtube.

I remember seeing some ads that looked really scammy about getting free medical equipment from Medicare on OTA television for years.

Years later, it turned out I was right.

If you called those folks they'd patch you through to a dishonest doctor who would write you a prescription for something like a back brace, even if you didn't need it. If you did need some kind of medical equipment later you might find you couldn't get it paid for because you already got the benefit.

I wonder if ubiquitous exposure to that kind of crap has political implications.

That is, you see a scam on TV several times a day that is clearly a scam but the people who run the TV station don't see it is a scam, bureaucrats don't see it is a scam, politicians don't see a scam. Politicians seem out so out of it that they launch their campaign with something that sounds just like a spam phone call.

OTA stations in most dayparts in Syracuse almost exclusively run ads for things you don't pay for with your own money: personal injury lawyers, prescription drugs, and things you can get with government benefits. You do see an ad for a car dealer from time to time because if nobody bought cars you couldn't get hit by a car to call William Matar.

I wonder if watching that crap turns people into Republicans.
Absolutely this. A country needs a healthy government and public employees dedicated and honest. A culture of sacrifice for public good. Not "but meeeeee!" culture.

It does not work where the "Deep State" is the enemy and grifters run for Congress to become Twitter trolls.
>The reply was it didn't break any policy.

What is the policy, as long as you pay and don't do anything outright offensive, it's all fair game?
You cannot be serious. It is a daily meme that Twitter ads are all scams now because all of the legitimate advertisers are leaving. That's why it is an interesting, news-worthy event when a community note is attached to an ad.
