"but you won't need to do it again for another quarter century." Hmm, so how do they handle the new cyber threats, since most of these are connected? It seems upgrades would need t…

It shouldn't be that hard. It's basically just a network of satellites with directional antennas - tech we already have.

Or you set up relays.

Yeah, and appearently we don't know how to shield from radiation either.

I used cheap as a relative term. But $10k for a ramp seems like someone got gouged. A couple hundred in lumber etc and a couple hundred for labor is doable in many cases. I see tho…

The author is simultaneously correct and incorrect. The author is correct that simple and cheap changes such as ramps and door knobs are the logical fixes. And yes, based on person…

"Only if the jury believes in nullification, which isn't common. The jury is instructed to follow the law." Not true. There is case law that allows for self-defense against unlawfu…

The choice in this hypothetical scenario is to be killed initially through the unlawful use of force or potentially be killed at some later time before reaching trial.

"Even if they're wrong, you can't shoot back." Depends on the situation. You'd absolutely be arrested. Get in front of a jury of 12 people and you might have a chance if you have e…

You might want to look into NGate.

The accusation was not random. That writing had an AI tone to it with the bulleting etc, and didn't address the actual point being questioned.

Well, why do people want to de-google? Likely peivacy and security. There is significant overlap in that reasoning and not doing tap to pay.

Is this an AI response? I get why people want a de-googled phone. What I don't get is why they would want to use tap to pay, one of the payment methods with increased attack vector…

Don't you still have to carry cards for things that aren't digitally excepted, such as a drivers license in most states?

Why would anyone who cares enough about security/privacy to run a de-googled phone want to use a tap to pay app?

Number 2 is basically here for many things, but not as easy as a single checkbox. Number 3 is something I've thought about, but it seems that's never seriously discussed in politic…

"They can collude, but that does not reveal more to them than most current age-verification methods." Or just correlate the IP.

Is exposure to a tax app going to cause harm to a 5yo? This doesn't seem like a real problem.

What might those be? Everything I've seen is ineffective or can be compromised. I think letting parents parent is probably the best option, but will require better/easier/free tool…

I tried to look at setting up an stripped down privacy-focused Android based box for Netflix, but ran into issues. Seems like you need to be spied on to run Netflix.

I probably could, but haven't done so yet.

My understanding is that Roku bypasses DNS blocking with hardcoded tables so it can report back on various data they track on you.

So where can I get an actual privacy focused streaming box, even if the apps (Neflix etc) running on it are not?

The problem is that digital IDs get recorded. The physical examples you give are generally not. The clerk at the ticket counter or entrance doesn't give a shit who you are, they ju…

I wonder if imposter syndrome affects people with ASD at higher rates, and if there's anything companies or individuals can do about it. The more I think about imposter syndrome th…
