So every kid needs to have a brokerage account now? Their parents needs to have a sub account in their kid's name? Are brokerage firms going to be happy with all these accounts containing a single share? Will these accounts be free? If not brokerage accounts, is each kid going get a real paper share certificate, and is SpaceX or some transfer agent going to be able to handle and track that many single shares? How about the privacy aspects of this - to issue all of these shares, SpaceX would need the names, addresses, and Tax IDs for all the kids in the US? How in the heck would this actually work?

Testing is also about looking for things that you don't anticipate.

For me social media used to be a way that I could keep up with what my family, friends, and peers were doing. I saw what they posted and they saw what I posted. Now feeds are overrun with stuff I don't care about (the algorithm) and stuff that isn't real (AI), so it is becoming less and less worth my time to post stuff (my intended audience won't see it, and is also leaving the platforms) and likewise I don't see stuff my peers post. On top of this there is all the political crap and advertising.

This is news for nerds. I am saying that there are viable technical solutions, not that Meta would choose to use them.

The light wouldn't have to be a visible spectrum or one that is interfered with by normal lighting, the camera just needs to be sensitive to it. Even if it used normal spectrum, it wouldn't have to work in all lighting conditions, as it doesn't have to detect tampering immediately, it only needs to detect that tampering has happened at some point in the past. The algorithm could be to wait for testable conditions and then test, if a test hasn't completed in 24 hours, disable the camera and instruct the user to put the glasses somewhere dark, and maybe have a 3 strikes you are out rule before bricking the camera.

They could flicker the LED in some random pattern and then look for corresponding lighting level changes in the images captured. The flicker could be fast enough that it wouldn't appear to flicker to a human.

So we can now non-invasively mess with the pleasure areas of the brain? Has the pleasure (or on the dark side, pain) helmet been invented?

Bitlocker without a PIN is a setup where a normal boot of the machine decrypts the disk without any user interaction. Why would it be a surprise if it was possible to alternate boot from USB and also be able to automatically decrypt the disk? This would be true for any disk encryption software that doesn't require the user to enter a PIN or password at boot time. If you can boot from alternate boot media, pretty much any operating system would allow that alternate boot to have access to the underlying file system, while bypassing the original operating system accounts, logins, and permissions.

So foreign routers and related firmware is too risky to continue to allow for imports, but it's not too risky to allow the same risky sources continue to give us new firmware? Seems to me if a foreign entity wanted to screw us, now with be the time. It's like, those guys over in the US are going to cut us off, so we should use this last chance to send them backdoored firmware.

I have a car that has a rear view mirror that can operate as a real mirror or as a screen to the rear camera at the flick of a switch. I strongly prefer the real mirror because I don't have to shift the focus of my eyes when looking at it. When driving and looking out the front window, my eyes are focused for distance, and with a real mirror I can see what is ahead of me and what is behind me at the same time. The real rear view mirror is part of my situational awareness without effort. However with a screen for a mirror, my eyes have to focus on the screen which is only a foot or so away, so I can't have what is behind me and what is in front of me in focus at the same time. At night the the video based rear view screen is mostly useless as all I can see is washed out headlights - maybe the dynamic range of my video rear view mirror isn't as good as what's in the Polestar, but technically it's pretty hard to match the dynamic range capability of the human eye. I do love my backup camera and it's great for backing up, but for keeping tabs on what is behind me when I am driving forward, I like the real mirror better.
