Relevant XKCD.

But more seriously, this is post late stage trial, where those concerns have been evaluated. Also noting that the 5-year survival for stage IV melanoma is around 35% and the mid-stage trial appeared results to reduce the recurrence or death by about 50%.

Comment "Solution" (Score 4, Insightful) 314

Respectfully, that's a workaround, not a solution. A real solution to a dysfunctional government is inherently political.

When the laws and their interpretations allow for unchecked executive power to surveil, the outcome isn't surprising. The solution is to promote, vote for, and elect officials who believe in protecting rights and will nominate court officials with sane views on the 4th amendment and executive power.

The issue is the searchable record generated from a interconnected network. There's been proven middle ground in many other places where there's a set of records that require a warrant to look up. Just like the phone company makes a record of calls for billing, but a warrant is needed there.

The non-digital analog is pretty clear where no one would think it an invasion of privacy to see your neighbor at the grocery store. But it'd be pretty creepy if you posted a mass of people around the whole country that wrote down everywhere they went in a searchable database.

Theoretically the border search exception doesn't change an individual having an reasonable expectation to privacy under the 4th, but that what's considered reasonable is different when crossing the border.

It has to be reconciled with other searches like making cure someone isn't bringing in diseased produce, like looking for a smuggled kiwi in a carry on versus looking for a banana under the seat during a traffic stop.

The big problem is that searching phones doesn't pass the Katz test to a reasonable expectation to privacy because it doesn't take a genius to know that pictures of the church potluck or text conversations with your proctologist are things that society would consider private and not something should be part of a reasonable routine search at the border.

The AC is right that due to the border exception that probable cause and a warrant aren't required and not even reasonable suspicion is required for "routine searches". There's some legal disagreement between circuits on whether cell phone searches are routine and manual vs forensic searches, but regardless CBP policy current requires individualized reasonable suspicion.

They are, however, very incorrect that in general "smartphones having incriminating communications" is individualized reasonable suspicion.

The EFF has a great breakdown about the Border Search Exception and the current state of the legal landscape there.

It states that public photography is permitted but with several caveats that essentially prohibit capturing the image of anyone, except on-stage speakers, unless the photographer obtains consent from the subject(s).

Those are just as against the rules, but it's a lot harder to hide the existence of very recognizable glasses on your face in order to skirt the rules here.

Literally everyone and their brother holds a smartphone which has a camera in it.

And literally the summary states that they ban that too, saying that they "prohibit capturing the image of anyone, except on-stage speakers". So they are dying on the whole mountain range.

TOTP and passkeys also have the huge disadvantage of being useless when you don't have access to the saved secret. So they need to solve the case of dead device needing to be replaced.

Multiple devices with a wallet/password vault outside their ecosystem that can save TOTP/passkeys is a more secure solution.

However since they want to make a solution within their system and isn't reasonable to require multiple devices, there are not many good solutions outside of the auth factor being something that proves who you are rather than something that you have.

More generally, the unconventional behavior of quantum materials promises to be useful in computing, communications (including the quantum internet), and energy – in harvesting more power from sunlight through solar panels, for instance.

The solar cell angle is the one the researchers plan to investigate next, using their new plasmonic metacrystal to better guide incoming light and lose less of it as heat.
