No, not a duplicate but an update. The post you linked from Nov. 18 was actually included in this story (2nd link). Today's post says "On Wednesday, a federal judge authorized a summons requiring Coinbase to provide the IRS with those records."

To be fair, alarms and cameras act as deterrents to break ins - at least to some criminals. It's not naive to think so, it's basic human nature. Criminals are generally looking for easy targets and don't want to be caught. Alarms blaring are contrary to that goal, as are the chances of being seen in real time or ID'd later by cameras. Again, not every criminal will be deterred by the same things, but using layers of security is the right approach.

If only there were bumblebees in space.

Watch the video linked in the summary and the moment before the car stops, a light comes on in the garage. This light probably messes with the cameras/sensors. Not making any excuses for Tesla, just making an observation.

Eh, I think you have your snark filter set too high. From my original comment "No, best to just move on and pretend nothing happened."

Also, the rest of the federal government has terrible IT infrastructure, and the previous Secretaries also had many problems, so we can't really fault the current Department of State with malfeasance. No, best to just move on and pretend nothing happened.

From the report cover: "As is the case throughout the Federal Government, management weaknesses at the Department have contributed to the loss or removal of email records, particularly records created by the Office of the Secretary. These weaknesses include a limited ability to retrieve email records, inaccessibility of electronic files, failure to comply with requirements for departing employees, and a general lack of oversight.

OIG’s ability to evaluate the Office of the Secretary’s compliance with policies regarding records preservation and use of non-Departmental communications systems was, at times, hampered by these weaknesses. However, based on its review of records, questionnaires, and interviews, OIG determined that email usage and preservation practices varied across the tenures of the five most recent Secretaries and that, accordingly, compliance with statutory, regulatory, and internal requirements varied as well."

External sensors likely don't test for this edge case...obstacles 2 or 3 feet in the air, absent obstacles at bumper level. Needs more sensors!

Not completely true. Brady Bill Sec 3 (3) (i) says: "Prohibitions Relating to Establishment of Registration Systems With Respect to Firearms.--No department, agency, officer, or employee of the United States may...(2) use the system...to establish any system for the registration of firearms, firearm owners, or firearm transactions or dispositions, except with respect to persons prohibited...from receiving a firearm."

You may want to argue that the 180 day rule written by Reno to "guard against gun purchases made under stolen identities" used by prohibited persons, but this kind of registry necessarily ensnares all allowed persons - thus violating the intent of the law. The registration of prohibited persons is specifically covered under 28 CFR 25.9 and is limited to only creating a log of denied transactions.

No, this is clearly an effort to ban Mars rovers.

"...the FBI wants Apple to create a special version of iOS that only works on the one iPhone they have recovered. This customized version of iOS (*ahem* FBiOS) will ignore passcode entry delays, will not erase the device after any number of incorrect attempts, and will allow the FBI to hook up an external device to facilitate guessing the passcode. The FBI will send Apple the recovered iPhone so that this customized version of iOS never physically leaves the Apple campus." "Even with a customized version of iOS, the FBI has another obstacle in their path: the Secure Enclave (SE)...a separate computer inside the iPhone that brokers access to encryption keys for services like the Data Protection API (aka file encryption)..." "...the recovered iPhone is a 5C. The 5C model iPhone lacks TouchID and, therefore, lacks the single most important security feature produced by Apple: the Secure Enclave."
