Words are a ritual
They only matter if they're the right ones said at the right time in the right way. Otherwise they're meaningless.

Actions are similar

@IntCyberDigest If true it sounds like a good time to abandon Google . . . Rule #1 know what you're clicking

@realjoshuareid What do you think this is going to be doing?

I really recommending reading this.

In summary, a company which does ID verification for in-person interactions (hotels, car rentals, ID verification for alcohol or marijuana, etc) has some how exposed over 153,000,000 drivers licenses for people in the United States and Canada.

It is a catastrophic data breach, probably one of the worse I've ever seen. If you're in the United States and have traveled, gotten a hotel, purchased marijuana or alcohol, there is a high probability you're in this.

Unlike other breaches, this includes a photo of the person (from the license), making verification you've identified the person significantly easier.

This poses a significant threat to celebrities (musicians, YouTubers, streamers, adult entertainers, actors, etc), politicians, lawyers, wealthy people (CEOs, investors, people of public interest), Law Enforcement Officers, etc

Krebs himself, and several other security researchers, have already confirmed they're in the data leak.

tl;dr gah damn dawg this company is going to be sued into oblivion

@a16z @flocksafety So many fallacies and false conclusions in one tiny post.
I know you guys are smarter than this!

Flock eliminates crime. False, it might influence it at best, but how many rights does it violate and how many false accusations are made? Worth it? The founders didn't think so.

Anyone got good pictures of the lunar eclipse tonight? Here’s some I took.

@cantcomputer That's still good advice though

[Deadbug @d34dbug]

@catturd2 Pretty sure Ben Franklin had something to say about that.
"Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety."

@cantcomputer I use local. stt=nemotron and tts=Kokoro. Running on CPU and it still works pretty well

@ReadyF4Any Bacon, pineapple, black olive, pepperoni optional, with a hint of barbecue sauce in the mix. Use different cheeses too not just mozzarella :)

Everyone sees a different part of the system in safety and cybersecurity.

Good decisions require combining perspectives. The knowledge required to understand the full system is rarely located in one place. Limiting perspective increases the chance of unintended consequences.

[Deadbug @d34dbug]

@RandPaul For me the budget is important, but it's more important to limit the government to what it is CONSTITUTIONALLY authorized to do which will naturally limit spending and overreach. Authority belongs from the bottom up, not top down

[Deadbug @d34dbug]

@Flock_Safety @TheAtlantic Nope. Mass surveillance is bad, regulation is insufficient. Mass surveillance is bad

[Deadbug @d34dbug]

@gothburz Safe from who? From what? For what purpose? This IS NOT in the public interest. It's in flock interest. It's in the interest of a surveillance state which is incompatible with freedom.

@Samaytwt I'd guess cloudflare because of cost and integration with their tools. But that has its own risks

@StephenM When I was growing up, the immigrant kids knew English better that we did! Something has changed.

@LundukeJournal So what we do is geoblock the OS from these locations. As in the OS will not operate in these states. See how that goes . . . No Linux for you Colorado, California, and Illinois

@elonmusk Until AI is deterministic - it's NOT the same, nor will it be. Compilers are deterministic and need to be.

@NicHulscher This will explain a lot
