iPhones have been exposing your unique MAC despite Apple’s promises otherwise — “From the get-go, this feature was useless,” researcher says of feature put into iOS 14
  • I don’t understand why this article isn’t BS. It was meant to prevent passive snooping. If I connect to a network, it needs to know who I am.

    I’ve worked with companies that implement this type of tech for monitoring road traffic congestion. IOS reduced the number of ‘saw same phone twice and can calculate speed’

  • Even with web integrity, I don’t see anti-Adblock working. We’re almost at the point that client side AI can screen capture the web page and recreate it sans-ads.

    And there are probably simpler solutions to bypass anti-adblock

  • Alec Baldwin may be recharged with Rust gun death because of 'additional facts'
  • It is basically when someone is doing something illegal and stupid, but isn’t thinking about it killing someone. Then accidentally kills someone.

    Voluntary manslaughter is then when you do something that you know will kill a person, but for some reason it isn’t murder.

    For lots (most?) laws, ignorance isn’t an excuse… even though the specific charge may change.

  • Israel orders unprecedented evacuation of 1 million in Gaza as possible ground offensive looms
  • Thanks. It’s hard for me to judge tactics from video, as I can’t really tell what is accidental collateral damage vs purposeful. The statements by Israeli leadership definitely supports the view that they are purposefully being punitive… which is monstrous.

  • Israel orders unprecedented evacuation of 1 million in Gaza as possible ground offensive looms
  • Your response seems to be equivalent to “never defend yourself against someone holding an innocent hostage.”

    To clarify, I’m not sure what response doesn’t result in more innocent people dying.

    I don’t really care about this specific conflict more than any other. And morally I don’t care for the lives of one side more than the other. And morally I don’t care who lived in what cities 100 years ago (note: unless those specific people are involved).

    My confusion seems to be that the ‘right’ response people seem to want to this is no response.

  • Israel orders unprecedented evacuation of 1 million in Gaza as possible ground offensive looms
  • So I just heard about this whole thing last night. What is the preferred Israeli response to this?

    To me it looks like Hamas using occupied buildings as places to attack from, the Israel being told they aren’t allowed to hit back at people using human shields.

  • Stockholm to ban petrol and diesel cars from centre from 2025
  • I think the issue might be visibility.

    Naively, it feels like most of the issue is from a small number of extra sooty vehicles. But that belief is probably just because of how visible it is. The brake/Tyree dust isn’t visible because it is more spread out.

  • Denver experimented with giving people $1,000 a month. It reduced homelessness and increased full-time employment, a study found.
  • I think part of it is that these might not have an effect on perception of homeless people quantity.

    The people who are helped by the $1k were likely able to show up for it and otherwise be stable enough. If see them on the street walking around you might not realize they are homeless.

    When people complain about homeless, they usually are talking about ‘mentally ill homeless people’. These people probably can’t finish this program

  • Microsoft Publishes Garbled AI Article Calling Tragically Deceased NBA Player "Useless"
  • It seems to mostly be replacing work that is both repetitive and pointless. I have it writing my contract letters, ‘executive white papers’, and proposals.

    The contract letters I can use without edit. The white papers I need to usually redirect it, but the second or third output is good. The proposals it functionally does the job I’d have a co-op do… put stuff on paper so I can realize why it isn’t right, and then write to that. (For the ‘fluffy’ parts of engineering proposals, like the cover letters, I can also use it.)

  • A Mother And Daughter Got Trapped In A Rental Tesla After It Ran Out Of Charge
  • I love my Tesla… but it isn’t clear to new drivers where they can and can’t charge, without some research. I can easily see someone assuming it works like a gas station and that they are all interchangeable.

  • From FaceID to Amazon One, should you share biometric data online?
  • I see this the same as a company asking for a SSN. I didn’t pick it, it is really hard to change without physical/mental pain, and is spoofable anyway.

    Based on those criteria… I’m not sure why I care about sharing it. I wouldn’t solely use it for something I’m securing myself, but if some company wants too, I don’t really take issue.
