The nice thing about Tourism as an industry is that scale only relates to demand (see winter vs summer demand in Florida as an example of how this already works). Too many tourists? Double the room rates. Double the restaurant prices. Double the airfare. No, triple it! A new horde of US tourists surging demand in Cuba will just drive up prices. Even crappy hotels have no problem accommodating for supply vs demand by racing up the price curve.

The recording is strictly related to the ability of the TV to respond to voice commands like "lower volume" or "change to DIY channel", since the audio processing is done in the cloud they have to ship out the audio over the internet. They are including this legalese as a way to disclose possible wiretapping/eavesdropping since there is a real good chance that they will occasionally end up with recordings of third party conversations on their servers.

Even better, if you spend enough on the Kickstarter you can get your name on the drone that will crash land in N Korea after running out of batteries and be broadcast on State TV as a trophy of the regime.

That "study" makes two very dangerous assertions: 1) all of the victims of hitchhiking are found dead/raped along the highway (as opposed to in a park, someones back yard, a dumpster, etc) and 2, all of the people in the US count as the population sample (this is the craziest one). Since not everyone who dies or is assaulted while hitchhiking can be associated, and we don't have any good way to even peg how many people might hitchhike in any given year, there is no real way to tell.

Something like Boxcryptor, perhaps? Although it only works with consumer grade cloud storage it sounds like what you want. Although it is $48/year on its own (if you want to do fancy stuff like manage multiple cloud accounts or encrypt filenames before storing them) so the costs of the belt to go with the suspenders can add up.

OK fine. This is not the clickbait you're looking for...

Except, it's not as if you are stepping into traffic and jumping on the first passing car. By hitchhiking, you are indeed waiting for just *that* kind of person who wants to stop and let a stranger into their car.

you mean you dont have `alias rm="rm -rf"` in your bash.rc file? Pansy.

Ahem, no, the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act. The name doesn't get at the parts of concern here, which are a number of privacy and confidentiality measures in Title II of the act, which sets guidelines on info systems that contain personal and/or medical data.

The notion of an operator-provided or operator-unlocked key is the way it used to work "back in the days" when every server had a monitor plugged into it. You would provide a password on bootup which was a mini-key to decrypt the actual SSL/TLS keys. It would get stashed in memory at that point and (hopefully) operator intervention wouldn't be needed again until the next scheduled reboot. Before too long, the threat of in-memory attacks far eclipsed the threat of physical server theft and this practice was ditched.

Putting the key alongside the data is a bad idea no matter how the key gets there. Finding it in RAM would be no different than finding it somewhere on the disk (assuming the disk approach is more complex than c:\config\crypto.key) so that's out. There are TPM solutions that can make it secure (storing the key in tamperproof memory, never releasing it, doing the encryption/decryption only at the request of signed binaries) but at this scale I don't know if the TPM can keep up or if doing it all on one closed system is enough of a safeguard. Would security go up by having one hardened database server and one hardened decrypt server in different auth realms, or would it go down since the attack surface is larger?

In this case, it was one less step the miscreants have to go through to grade each record set for sale on the black market. No doubt they are going to (or already have) sort by income descending, break them into nice 100 ID chunks, and sell them to the highest bidder.

Out of curiosity since you are familiar with the subject, where is the acceptable place to keep the encryption key? During a compromise it doesn't do much good when it's on or near the same server as the DB with the data. Two servers, with two distinct access control credentials?

It's annoying but doing a full reset (via the bootloader menus) helped my 2012 N7 to run great again with 5.0. I realized how few apps I actually needed to make good use of it, too. Battery life is still subpar, but it's almost 3 years old at this point so I don't expect it to be fresh as a daisy.
