Vastly less useful than Teslas also driverless miles driven in MANY other states and conditions than Waymo drives in.

Tesla has a far broader range of conditions to train with.

How exactly has a non-profit helped women get jobs in tech fields?

Just recently I ran into a woman having trouble finding coding work despite a solid background and resume, some people had suggested to her she try Women Who Code to get some connections that could help her find some job opportunities.

I had contributed to them in the past as they also held women only coding camps for teenagers, that is I think the key way you actually get more women into coding as opposed to simply juggling the few professional woman coders in a sightly different mix across existing companies.

I had kind of lost track of them though and hadn't contributed for a few years, I think the coding camps were shut down... maybe the organization just lost track of the core mission.

Abuse, human trafficking, underage 'actors', exposed credentials for users, potential leaks of credit card info, leaks of download history ...

These are "systemic risks"?

I mean, over half of what you mentioned is something ALL pay websites are at risk for....are all websites having to report these types of "systemic risks"?

I'm not implying that they care more about the individual person than GB does, if that is what you mean, but the CCP has a more equitable distribution of salary and benefits than GB does. Really, the world is not the one of 1990 anymore and we have to get up to date with the increasing authoritarianism of the West and the economic improvements in Asia.

Oh seriously...FUCK THAT...

I'll take the west ANY day over the east (china), even with its problems....as that no where do I know in the west that the average citizen if they speak out against the govt...will quickly be arrested and then their family will be charged for the fucking bullet the govt uses to execute them.

Don't even speak of the west and authoritarianism like china in the same breath.

You have to be a Chinese shill to spout off bullshit like that.

Good indication of performance is amount of people who want to immigrate into your country for economical reasons. China is nowhere near as good by this standard. I find it very funny how racist nazzy homophobic claustrophobic hydrophobic countries have people standing on their borders. Supposedly hated ones.

Standing??

They're physically assaulting and pushing past armed US national guard to get in here!!!

New Orleans is 6 feet below sea level, as we found out 20 years ago.

Err....we've knows NOLA was below sea level for many MANY years....decades....a century or more even.....

What we found out with Katrina was...that the US Army Corps of Engineers had made some serious mistakes and short cuts in the levee system they had built and overrated.

This isn't something new to man....go ask those nice folks in the Netherlands that fight off the ocean like we do here....they know a thing of two about living below sea level and fighting off the ocean.

I understand from working geologists in soil districts and the like that actions can be taken on a building by building basis, but can you apply that to an area?

Or, you do like areas like the Netherlands or New Orleans, and you build yourself a big ass levee system to keep the ocean at bay (no pun intended).

Overall, in a battle between nature and man....nature will eventually win.

But, man CAN hold out for a long time...I mean New Orleans just recently had it's 300th anniversary, you know?

I guess it's different in the US where the cops immediately point a gun at you. So again, it depends on your threat model.

That's not the case at all...unless you are something like a robbery suspect, they don't pull guns on your...geez.

As long as you don't act a fool....and are being stopped for being a violent crime suspect, you aren't going to have any problems.

If in a car, just keep your hands on the wheel where they can see them...be polite...and don't talk too much, only answer what you need to....giving drivers license, registration proof of insurance on demand...etc.

Don't incriminate yourself, know your rights, ask if you are being detained, if now, ask if you are free to leave....

Hell, I've been pulled over and since I have a carry concealed permit, told the cop I had a gun and where it was...they were cool about it, wrote me a warning and sent me on my way...didn't disarm me or have me leave the car or anything....

So, no...normal people acting normal do not get guns drawn on them.

Now, with all that being said, if you are stopped or pulled over...and immediately start trying to grab and fuck with your phone (which they may not be able to see is a phone) could be recognized as suspicious....I'd not really do that...and hence better to just keep a long enough passcode/password on the phone in case things escalate and they take your phone for evidence.

Lots of the Netherlands sits below sea level.

So why should we be concerned even slightly about cities subsiding when we already can easily deal with places that exist many meters below sea level?

Must be quite entertaining to watch you unlock your phone hundreds of times a day.

JFC...why in the world would you need to be accessing your phone "hundreds of times a day"???

Geez, there's a nice big world out there with REAL people in meatspace you can and should interact with...you know, make REAL friends with, maybe even get laid...??

Don't spend your whole day with your head stuck in your damned phone....

For most people, a fingerprint is a decent way to unlock their phone. It's fast and good enough for banks to trust it with payments. It can easily be disabled in an emergency situation (press the power button 5 times rapidly). Thieves aren't equipped to lift your print and unlock your device, and will just sell it on or break it down for parts.

For fingerprint unlock to be an issue you would have to consider a threat actor who can get your device before you have a chance to disable it, and then force you to unlock it before the biometrics time out and it defaults to needing your password (Pixel devices do that, not sure about others).

Well, with a police interaction, especially if they suspect you of something...you will be quickly separated from your phone and not be given a chance to click anything on it.

This is quite common....and even many cops have common sense to know this.

For what? Who I am is more relevant than what I know for the vast majority of transactions I have. Phones have functions to lock out biometrics, simply rebooting the phone would trigger a password requirement on every mobile I've used recently. I can't face unlock or thumb unlock a freshly started phone. On the iPhone you can simply press power + volume for 2 seconds and it will disable touch/face ID until the next time you enter your passcode.

Keep in mind, you likely will not HAVE the opportunity to click or hold anything on your phone with a cop interaction....quite often the first thing they'll do is separate you from your phone if they suspect you of something.

So, keep in mind, if you can't disable your biometrics....you're screwed.

Typing in a passcode/password is fast enough for any transactions I do with my phone...it isn't rocket surgery.

Why you should (if you own an iPhone) lock it with 5 clicks when doing things like going thru security lines or getting pulled over. Always. It requires the pin to enable touch or Face ID.

Why not just avoid using the biometric crap entirely?

I mean, I'm guessing the defendant, like many people would not have had a chance to click anything 5 times.

I've never used the biometrics, just a complex passcode/password.

We know that's protected the most to date.
