Stop manipulating our markets under the guize of national security or protecting Americans. If we need to be protected from bad behavior we need to be protected by all bad behavior…

They should have never been deployed to begin with. How expensive are drones? Way less expensive than a police officer. They can be deployed at scale. You can imagine a world where…

I have fairly simplistic view of the economics involved here. Could you explain why the ability to sell more chips wouldn't be sufficient enough incentive to increase supply?

Might be nitpicking, but USC 1983 does not prevent anything, it is an attempt at restitution after the fact, and even then, when qualified immunity in play the efficacy of even tha…

Just this morning I listened to an EFF podcast episode (Effector) about how license plate readers tend to suffer from mission creep. They might be deployed for one of the "reasonab…

I don't think "could" is doing a lot of work here at all. It seems logical that if cases where the misuse of flock systems were discovered only when the same officers misbehaved in…

That is far down the list of reasons someone might want to know who is performing actions against them with the backing of the federal government. Much higher on the list would be …

Pardons only enable presidents to direct their goons to operate outside of the rule of law without repercussions.Having one individual with strong incentives to enable their team s…

This could fit in well with the Pixel's upcoming desktop mode or Samsung DeX. Hopefully Google keeps developing desktop mode to make it more usable.

This is the tired excuses: If you've got nothing to hide then you shouldn't want privacy And If you already lack privacy in some places you should just give up on having any. The f…

It seems like a centralized authority for DNS that must answer to some government is prone to censorship. Would moving domain registration into a public Blockchain allow for a more…

Organic Maps is great and I'm hoping the transition to Forgejo goes smoothly for the project. I've recently started hiking and just generally going outside in my community more. Wh…

Have you ever experienced prison yourself or through someone close? Prisons don't put people on a level playing field at all. It is significantly more comfortable to be rich in pri…

Why do you feel that info is relevant? If my driver's license expired yesterday and then I get pulled over while I'm driving to the DMV today to get it renewed, should I not get a …

With kids involved many of the rights you normally have are removed. Police and DCS can use your silence (or a pile of dirty laundry, or you asking for a lawyer to be present, or a…

Even more than phones, this is the reason our children are being raised stuck indoors, contributing to the ever increasing mental health crisis with our kids. Instead they should b…

They are claiming that it is privacy preserving, since it uses AI and not humans, and only for catching csam Assuming those claims are true(I know, that is a big ask, but they clai…

I am thinking of starting a competing product that uses wifi APs for geo location instead of GPS satellites. I want to be a more customer friendly business than google or apple tho…

Seems like the perfect use case for timelock encryption: https://drand.love/docs/timelock-encryption/

> My interpretation leans more towards NIST making an internal mistake in evaluating the algorithms, rather than NSA pushing its agenda. Why do you say this? The NSA has done this …

When Tucson experienced a hazardous chemical spill during evening rush hour[0] officials required everyone to shelter in their homes to avoid the poisonous fumes outside. At the sa…

True, but I think that misses the point. I think the comment was an attempt at facilitating empathy for the incarcerated who are in this situation since for most people they don't …
