That page contains no comparison with any American cities? Do you have an actual source for your claim?

Could also be rephrased as "Do you mean that the all the CCTV surveillance in the City is decentralised and only accessible by warrant to each system owner?"

On cars they absolutely are still a problem in practice.

The BBC style guide suggests breaking up paragraphs and using bullet points like this as they are easier to read on a digital screen than dense paragraphs of text:

I enjoy my work, but it is just that - work. I give my work 100% in good humour when I am working, but I think the expectation that I'm going to go home and do more of the same on my own time is unfair and unhealthy. No other profession expects this.

> I want to be with people that are sharing links to things they’ve read, people who are trying out new technologies and languages, people who have weekend projects, or who are contributing bug fixes back to open source projects.

I hate this culture in software engineering. There are many excellent engineers out there who work to live, rather than live to work. Why do we have this expectation that programmers want to spend every waking second coding something? I'd hire someone who appears to have balance in their life with other interests and hobbies besides computers (all other things being equal).

This is really fun. I love the idea that something so old looking is running some state of the art stuff behind it.

Does anyone else think it's a bit self defeating to describe this product affordable and ubiquitous and then have a link to shop charging $60 for them?

Right, but my browser isn't doing that. Therefore the original point still stands.

Because it is a well known fact that it is trivially easy for a resourced attacker to retrieve data from a storage medium well after your computer claims it is deleted.

They’re using the flag of The Republic of Liberia to symbolise English, which seems like an interesting choice as I don’t normally associate the two.

Has anyone tried this with their face or someone who isn’t a celebrity? I’m curious if it works but don’t really want to upload my picture.

Is it fair to _ever_ say that clearing the history completely removes all traces of visited sites? I have always operated under the assumption that some trace will remain pretty much forever.

Do you expect that students will utilise the backtracking aspect of the software? I think 12 year old me would just use the solver and then log off.

For clarity, this is not the same Clapham as the area of central London.

This feels like a pretty empty symbolic change.

I think the problem is that there is no single definition for many things around this app. Each country has a different definition of what constitutes contact for example.

I think there are times when the go it alone and keep calm carry on attitude works well, but this is not one of them. Hopefully lessons will be learned.

This is cool - I think smartphones are are best defence against violent police oversteps. Now everyone has a camera with them and we are seeing the results. Democratisation of surveillance.

> While I was getting my hair cut yesterday, my stylist told me about her daughter’s math teacher, who is currently punishing her daughter for falling behind on work due to a broken arm by assigning her upwards of fifteen pages of homework a night. The child is seven

This seems insane to me - how could an educator think this is a good thing to do to a 7 year old? There is more risk of putting them off studying and academics for life than solving their maths problem. I think as a parent I would flat out refuse to let my child do that, and if the teacher had an issue they'd have to take it up with me.

There is https://www.descript.com/lyrebird-ai which is in private beta right now, but looks to serve your needs exactly. Maybe reach out to them?

I'm in the UK, which doesn't have land taxes. Stamp duty is one time payment.

That would require modifying the plumbing system of the house, which would require to own the house or have the landlord's permission.

> Think of having to pay rent to live in your own house.

So land taxes?

I'm very skeptical that these plants can significantly change the indoor environment, unless you turn your house into a greenhouse. Does anyone have a source pointing to the contrary?

That job spec is hilarious: > Worked at a large tech company worth more than US$15B

I wonder if the model here is missing something important - it assumes there is no survival penalty for a false positive attack. In real life this isn’t true. Activating a fight or flight response in humans and animals has an energy (survival) penalty.

The issue isn't the product itself - the issue is that the company that produces is controlled by an outwardly hostile foreign nation that has a history of carrying out state sponsored cyber attacks against critical infrastructure in the west.

1. Just because it isn’t the largest cause of death doesn’t mean it shouldn’t be reduced.

2. There is so much more to it than just the number of people who have died. Entire populations live in fear of contacts with the police.

Any extension that asks for that sadly a complete no for me. That is way too broad a permission for something as sensitive as the contents of every site I browse. I’ve found recently it means pretty much all extensions are unusable for me.
