You would if you pay the subscription.

The question for smartphones has been tried in court IIRC. Basically, police can compel you to unlock your phone with biometrics, but cannot compel you to unlock it if it’s a password, and the difference is your fingerprint is something you have, whereas a password is something you know. Your fingerprint is subject to the fourth amendment and your password is subject to the fifth.

So when it comes to video footage, the password is protected, so they’d need to break the encryption or the password, they couldn’t compel you to reveal it.

No, OpenAI is sustained by investment money, not actual revenue from products.

That’s like saying you’re glad you got paid less because that means you’ll pay less taxes.

Vinegar might do the trick, and that’d safe in a super soaker. Make it salty for extra impact.

But you see, it’s a network of private cameras, so it’s completely different!!

I think it’s a similar car to hers. She wasn’t in the area at all, and had proof of that.

I imagine a sufficiently strong acid could discolor it pretty quickly.

They can only get it with a search warrant. If everything is encrypted with a sufficiently strong password, I think the court precedent is that they can’t compel you to reveal the password.

To get a warrant, they need to convince a judge that it’s necessary to prove guilt in a specific crime, which means they need at least reasonable suspicion before even asking for the footage.

Casually asking just for general knowledge, but what would be the penalty if someone, say, accidentally destroyed one of these? What about 10?

Agreed, and prison should be for rehabilitation.

Perhaps prisoners could be released in one of two states: completed time or rehabilitated. The latter carries a much lower chance of recidivism. Maybe the first iffense could be hidden regardless, and expunged entirely after some period of time (10 years?), whereas on the second offense, both are searchable.

IDK, but I do believe in forgiveness.

I don’t think that’s true, do you have evidence of that?

When building an application, consider all options. Serverless is great for background tasks that can be broken up into smaller pieces that you would otherwise need to scale up for main instances to handle, or scale up/down additional instances. It’s great for running background reports that you do t want to build a bunch of routes for.

I would never choose serverless for the whole app architecture, but I might choose one host over another of the distinguishing feature was serverless. It’s really nice to have the option.

Yeah, I 100% respect Python for standing up to this nonsense. DEI should mean teaching people about their biases so we can do a better job of goving opportunities to those best able to do the job, instead of whoever is liked by the hiring team.

Grants like this shouldn’t have stipulations about how the project is run, only about the priorities, if any.

My point is merely that DEI programs can be discriminatory, not that they are.

I don’t believe it will work in practice in a lot of areas

Perhaps, and ideally we can iterate on ideas to see what works and what doesn’t. I don’t like any big policy change, regardless of how it aligns with my priorities, I instead want a gradual change so it’s less disruptive to the market and we get cleaner feedback.

Did those “libertarians” vote for Trump last election? What’s their take on Jan 6? I have a sneaking suspicion they’re conservatives who like weed, not libertarians.

You’re right that libertarians don’t want government involved in as many parts of daily life as possible. That’s where the support comes from for things like drug legalization/decriminalization, gay marriage, gun rights, etc. Wikipedia is part of that, it was created and is maintained independently, and whether it’s funded by donations, ads, or subscriptions is irrelevant. As long as government isn’t involved, libertarians are happy.

Here’s a quote I love from Penn Jillette (from memory, may have mistakes):

Government should only use violence for things I am willing to use violence for. I would use violence to stop a rape or a murder. I would not use violence to build a library.

He goes on say he supports libraries and would fund one if someone came around asking for donations.

That’s pretty much exactly what Wikipedia is, it’s a privately created, publicly available library that runs on donations, which is a libertarian wet dream. If everything good could be funded that way (charities for a social safety net, police for law enforcement, military for national defense, etc), that would be a libertarian utopia. Since that’s not feasible, libertarians want as many functions as possible to exist outside of government and carefully audit the rest.

I personally believe a social safety net cannot be independent, so I support something like UBI to replace our coercive and often subjective welfare programs and ensure everyone is above the poverty line. I also believe small companies should have legal protections (e.g. limited liability structures we have today), and large companies shouldn’t (they can buy insurance if they want), so a lawsuit or bankruptcy could go after shareholder and executive team assets.

Many libertarians disagree with me on specifics (a libertarian’s most bitter rival is another libertarian), but we agree on the foundational idea that less is more when it comes to government.

I sure hope not, it’s hard enough to find nonsucking TVs, I really don’t want to have to find an “industrial” fridge just to get a regular one.

It shouldn’t be that hard to take apart the fridge door and cut a few cables…

Hmm, my fridge is in my kitchen, which is in the middle of the house. I’ve never been in a situation where the fridge door has been open more than a couple minutes without me noticing, and I have three kids.

I’ve had two fridges die (well, the same one twice), and that sucked, but there’s not much I could do about it even if I knew a few hours earlier, and I use the fridge enough I’ll notice within a few hours. Refrigerator deliveries often happen after a few days, and I’m not going to keep stocking ice during that period, I’ll just consume what I can and move the important stuff to the mini fridge or chest freezer.

It would be cool, sure, but it’s not worth having it connected to the internet.

I also want it dispense cold water. That’s not a requirement, just nice to have.
