It is supposed to be an open database, typically government will put everything behind walls and require FOIA requests just to get the number of complaints, not even any detail. This is the correct way that all government should operate - here is the form - here is the underlying database - go wild.

For example, we now know thousands of people are complaining about violations of privacy in public bathrooms, the problem is worse than we thought (SELECT COUNT(*) FROM database)

No, they called Cisco and they got support. These switches are coming from the same factory, have the serial numbers and conventions of Cisco etc. that's what makes them counterfeits. It's just Huawei making them, selling them and letting Cisco provide support for them. Only after a few of them ended up on a bench at Cisco for not working according to spec is when they realize, hey, we didn't actually build that one. Most of them if they stop working completely just go on the garbage pile as Cisco sends a replacement, the rarity that Cisco actually provides support is after they already chucked a few, upgraded the firmware etc and it still isn't working according to spec (where the cheap off-brands have trouble is the longer distances or overheating issues) then they come with their army of partners and measuring tools.

It's not really counterfeit. Huawei tried to sell us switches about a decade ago that were according to their sales engineer "we don't have to retrain our network engineers because they had an identical interface to Cisco IOS". Basically if you SSH'ed in you could get a Cisco interface or an HP interface, whatever you wanted it to be, they had an API overlay.

In the end Cisco switches are just Juniper, which are just HP or SuperMicro or Dell switches, they all use the same backplanes from Broadcom or a few (2 or 3) other manufacturers, they just re-badge them and flash the x86 server in it with different operating systems.

Which of those well-published things is a conspiracy? Together they make up a conspiracy, sure, because in this case it hasn't been proven yet that this was intentional. Individual cases are a conspiracy, the overarching fact it happens more often than we realize is not.

It is also whether it was expected, the prior death was the day before testimony. This guy gets sick before his testimony. There are a lot of coincidences in the group of half a dozen people.

Sudden infection/blood poisoning of unknown origin making him susceptible to MRSA. If it wasnâ(TM)t the MRSA finishing him off, it would have been the shutting down of organs due to infection/blood poisoning. The Russians typically are experts at this and many of Putin opponents have suddenly died in a similar way with what appear to be infections leading to sudden death, wouldnâ(TM)t be surprised if they took a page out of that playbook, we know the feds funded gain of function research at Wuhan.

Feel free to go to India, China, any country in Africa, Eastern Europe and even the French and Spanish and UK police forces. The only somewhat nicer ones are in the Nordic and Germanic language countries although they are getting more aggressive now that their society is becoming less homogenous, although the Nordic and Germanic forces are more likely to infringe upon your rights through the legal process as there is minimal to no defense against invalid charges.

That and it intercepts what we see on the public interface and allows you to target specific people for further examination.

In this case it isnâ(TM)t really AI, it is ML on patient data. Basically someone implemented Prometheus with predict_linear on various metrics.

It is probably MWh of battery output per year in production capacity. So for the 10 or so GWy that needs to be backed up when the wind doesnâ(TM)t blow as hard one year you only need 10,000 MW worth of (charged up) batteries every hour.

You solved 1h out of the next 365 days. We are talking about several GWy missing annually because the wind doesnâ(TM)t always blow, we had a particular hot and windy decade, but the El Niño winds are slowing down, as can be predicted. What do you do when the wind doesnâ(TM)t blow as hard for a decade that you lose 10% of your power production. They are missing 2% on top of what they are capable of building out, which means the entire investment they are doing right now is not going to produce anything.

I believe the first few generations allow/have/can have local HTTP controls

You'd be surprised. If he's talking about PG&E, then yes, there is a company that buys them for the program and still sells them (to PG&E) at $175/pop, hell, they still offer the Nest as an option despite Google abandoning it a month ago.

I don't know what kind of value this kind of article has, obviously the iPad has value to some people, increasing its specs does as well, even if you're not using it, you'll be using less energy so the battery will last longer etc.

Just because you don't need anything between a phone and a computer doesn't mean others don't. I personally like a big stationary desktop and lug around an iPad to meetings etc since my phone screen is just not big enough to do anything useful. And there are plenty of other people that don't need quite a computer or need slightly more than a phone, I know people with disabilities love the iPad to communicate, designers love the iPad Pro.

Yes it is a small laptop but its lack of keyboard and the fact it has sufficient power to replace some low end laptops is a feature.

A Faraday is a solution, but adds lots of weight and cost which is what poster pointed out.
