They take AI safety seriously but got in bed with Palantir in 2024? I think those are mutually exclusive.

The real reason Moderna was denied: The trial compared mRNA-1010 to a standard-dose licensed flu vaccine, which the FDA argued did not reflect the "best-available standard of care" (implying a high-dose comparator should have been used, particularly for older adults.

Alex Jone's has hurt society far less than most mainstream journalists who have pushed lies to support wars. Meanwhile we have sent $180billion to arm real Nazi's in Ukraine and the Bluesky crowd talks about an arm gesture for a month.

Yes; those fools are allowing the communists to control their minds! Tune into Fox News with the enlightened people like me.

Whups forgot closing tag.

I've got a 4k TV that has pretty good color and 30hm refresh @ 4k... but up sampled 1080p looks good and in a pinch it's a crappy 4k monitor. I also recently got a 4k 60z monitor because I was getting frustrated using the tv. The color on the monitor is shitty... but I don't really care. My workspace is weird and I sit about 2 feet from the monitor, and even with old eyes the resolution is very useful (with glasses).

Even if that's true if I want to get close and only look at a quarter of the screen, the extra pixels could be useful...

This didn't make national news like it should have. Capitalism and dangerous things don't seem to mix too well.

You make good points... Encryption hopefully works as I've implemented for me :) I went to a wifi radio mfg event for resellers recently and some of the resellers were really concerned that Apple's MAC randomization (which doesn't really work yet) was going to hurt their location tracking abilities... It's not terribly hard to figure out I surf with a device with a certain mac address... and many of these muni wifi systems require you to login... directly, thru google, thru Facebook, etc before you get access... I love free WiFi but I'm cynical, and I think some muni's are doing bad things; I wouldn't be surprised if some are doing automated MITM attacks.

Can be a lot cheaper than other ways of spying; Associate a person with wireless MAC's or shudder their Facebook account and you've got NSA class intel, and better location data.

Hypothetically, let's say the NSA captures everything they can about the members of the 3 branches of the federal government, and analyzes it well... wouldn't it be pretty easy to control them?

Here ya go :) I think it's limited to 4 digit pass codes though. A snipped from their FAQ: How can I get a list of what devices you support? We will gladly supply a full list of supported devices and also specifically what can and cannot be recovered from each one to any legitimate enquiry. Just email us, explaining your business need for the information and we will be delighted to assist you once we have verified your identity.

Damn regulators.
