Good thing they're following password complexity recommendations...

You don't *ever* put cameras in areas where classified material might be visible. On the other hand, there's plenty of "sensitive but unclassified" information that could be gleaned from video feeds even in public areas.

To the cynic in me, "G down, M up" sounds like they're counting broadcast bandwidth, probably the TV signal, down and not routable IP traffic.

Uh, maybe because you are looking directly at the screen of your iPhone whereas you are probably driving while trying to operate your car radio controls?

Have you ever noticed that people wanting to dismiss professional opinions always complain about the experts being paid?

I mean, seriously, this seems like a project aimed squarely at "cannot, or should not, be reproduced."

Not like seatbelts: more like headlights at night.

"A politician making decisions that some web site maintainer doesn't like is not a legitimate subject for whistleblower status." Yet in https://fchr.myflorida.com/whi... "Any person applying for work or working for a state agency (as defined in 216.011, F.S.) who has been retaliated against for disclosing protected information may file an inquiry." Seems pretty clearly a legitimate subject as she claims a) that she was told to hide information salient to the stated purpose of her job and b) was retaliated against first by being fired and then by being raided. If those claims are deemed true, as the article seems to support, then she has a *very* clearly valid claim for whistleblower status.

There would appear to be a substantial conflict between "You may not moderate or enforce terms of service" and "you are held legally liable for the speech of people using your platform." CDA section 230 explicitly excludes a number of categories of content that are not subject to safe harbor. If these platforms failed to moderate, they would seriously exposed by the illegal speech of their customers. This is pretty much why AWS dumped Parler: Parler was welcome to take on that legal liability on behalf of their users, but AWS cannot be compelled to take it on as well.

Voter fraud *is* a thing and is a crime. What isn't a thing is vote-by-mail having a substantially higher rate of fraud than vote-in-person. You still have to be registered, your ballot can still not be used more than once, if you request a ballot and it isn't received it can still be flagged, and best of all, paper ballots mailed in or cast in person can be audited far far FAR more reliably than electronic ballots. The thing about fact checkers is that they tend to use primary sources for their information. If you don't believe the implications, you can dispute those primary sources or the fact-checkers implications. On the other hand, statements that need to be fact checked typically do not cite primary sources, hence the need for validation.

... offer to buy them out for pocket change. Otherwise, I'm sure they can find some reasonable pretext to sue them for something.

In additional to adapting to aggressive human drivers, I have a difficult time imagining manufacturers not choosing to offer autonomous aggressive driving modes... Tesla's "Insane mode, now with more insanity!" Can autonomous emergency vehicles be all that far ahead? In all seriousness, it isn't enough to train for different human driver modes, but also other autonomous vehicle styles.

FWIW, I'm pleased with my Maxnomic/NeedForSeat XL chair. As someone who is 6'5" / 195cm, typical office chairs rarely come close to acceptable lift and the Maxnomic XL chairs are just about exactly right for me at their *lowest* setting. While I personally do not need the extra weight load (or... er... "width") of their XL chairs, I'm loving the sense that I'm sitting in a chair that isn't a toy.

The Globe is a big place - and "global warming" implies that the *average* temperature is increasing, not that all points on the globe rise as you suggest. You are correct that sea ice in the southern hemisphere has been increasing, but the *land* ice in Antarctica has not only been decreasing, but has been doing so at an *accelerating* rate... Sea ice anywhere is floating and displaces water. Imagine, for a moment, where there missing land ice in Antarctica is going... in your words, "Uh oh."

I've always named my machines at work after beer. mmm.... beer.
