On the contrary. They can hide this kind of thing in the numbers. Reporting on egregious individual cases has a chance to heighten awareness.

On a positive note, that kind of claim has been struck down in Canada before.

Nah, a democratic nation has to follow its own laws. It looks much better if they revoke it with proof after due process.

A few friends of mine used to have a sms-based group chat we used for many years. One of those friends kept losing phones and getting new numbers. At some point one of his older numbers texted something to the tune of “what the fuck is this, why are you texting me?!”. It turns out the old number had been reassigned.

then again, no state secrets were exchanged.

I don’t believe automatic swerving is a good idea, depending on what’s off to the side it has the potential to make a bad situation much worse.

I’m thinking like, kid runs into the street, car swerves and mows down a crowd on the sidewalk

if it can actually sense a crash is imminent, why wouldn’t it be programmed to slam the brakes instead of just turning off?

Do they have a problem with false positives?

There are videos from before they pulled the sensors of some pretty cool stuff where teslas slammed the breaks before anything visibly happened, based on lidar sensors sensing trouble a couple cars up the road, completely blocked to vision.

super cool safety tech, and then they pulled it…

This article is focused on reading them electrically.

I too have heard you can read flash storage with electron microscopes.

How is the hammer supposed to help me memorize the key?

do you mean github or do you actually mean git?

Well, those ones does it at the cost of size. In order to ensure separation they are comparatively huge.

Spotify seem to confuse breaking the TOS with breaking the law.

A guess/suggestion:

You have an app with a private key. The qr code contains data encrypted with the corresponding public key. Your app decrypts the data and transmits it to googles servers, proving you are in possession of the secret key.

you have at your disposal all the tools you need to learn the answer to that question within a minute

That would be great, but AI detection doesn’t work reliably at all.

Here’s a study https://edintegrity.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1007/s40979-023-00146-z#Sec19

a HDD can fail at any given time. It could fail within a week of buying it, could last over a decade.

What I’m saying is, if you have data you don’t want to lose, yes you should be worried. Keeping backups is the only safe option.

thats what happens when short term profit is king I guess
