Last year when I was checking into a hotel, the desk person was wearing Meta glasses. I kindly asked them to take them off. They were annoyed. I said, “I do not consent to you looking at my credit card and ID with Meta glasses on.” My instincts were correct: www.bbc.com/news/article...
i didn't think SwiftOnSecurity would fall down the political tribalism rabbit hole
a thought occurs: in other countries we have apps and subreddits and various other resources to help us perform such boycotts. do people inside the US have anything to help them boycott the GOP or ICE or anything like that? i haven't heard of such resources
Remember this on election day.
In the richest nation on the planet, we somehow don't have money for ACA subsidies (when healthcare should be free) and other social welfare, but we have money to bomb Iran without any specific provocation?!
Who *precisely* is this benefitting?
and you will continue to need it so long as you keep using it. similar to how a spell checker doesn't actually lead us to improve our spelling, it just corrects the document
arrangements of words can be beautiful, but they often aren't
If Google's useless AI overview drives you nuts, add -AI to your search query.
just watched the video. if you want to explore more global topics, do you think the expiry of the New START treaty would fit into that bucket?
if you can remember which way an L is supposed to point, surely you can remember whether you're right-handed or left-handed? then all you have to do to determine right from left is see if it's on the same side as your dominant hand
maybe if you search in an incognito window it won't affect your recommendation algorithm.
I'm convinced AI is our generation's radium - a discovery with genuinely useful applications in specific, controlled circumstances that we stupidly put in everything from kid's toys to toothpaste until we realised the harm far too late where future generations will ask if we were out of our minds.
"Exploding Rocket Company Buys Company Best Known For Generating Child Porn" would have been an epic headline.
"Criminality is so rampant inside CBP that it has seen one of its own agents or officers arrested every 24 to 36 hours since 2005."
"it appears the crime rate of CBP agents and offices was higher PER CAPITA than the crime rate of undocumented immigrants." www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/accountabi...
the M in DRM should have been Malware. it's a system that works against the user's interests and they would generally not agree with it if they knew about it or had a choice
he may have watched carney but i think he missed one of the most important parts - the standing ovation from other world leaders at the end. that means the sentiments were shared by many, it's not just canada
are you going to jail them for 6 to 7 years?
sounds like he an pete hoekstra (america's ambassador to canada) would get along famously
as i understand it, the US needs to keep the world addicted to oil and also paying for that oil in USD in order to maintain the dollar's dominance as the global reserve currency
considering the US has threatened multiple NATO members, that would be very awkward. article 5 for me but not for thee

Sad to hear about the passing of David Harley. I haven't seen David for some years, but he was always a kind, friendly soul. A lovely chap who helped make cyberspace safer for all.
The deepest condolences to his family, friends, and colleagues.

people don't want to admit they're vulnerable to being fooled, but they are willing to admit someone they care about is, and maybe that will get them to read and learn
when trump told a room full of 800 of his generals that he wanted to use american cities as training grounds for the military, everyone was like "he can't do that, it's against the law", but i haven't seen anyone ask - training for what? what objective looks like american cities?

i found the question much easier to understand when i visualized it with a graph (since it involves coordinates). that might make the existence of 2 answers more intuitive
ICE is advertising for supervisors offering $132-185K Managers- $306K Both have ZERO education requirements. Meanwhile: Teachers $46,526 Nurses $68,485 BOTH require bachelors degree and often a graduate degree.
