The last 4 digits of a SSN are the ones that really matter: they're the only digits that you cannot figure out through research. Which is why they sorta-work as an identity confirmation.
If you're speaking in public, those are the most dangerous digits to reveal.
Police cameras are a good idea, but the police being in charge of their operation and having control over the resulting data is a terrible idea that removes a lot of the upside to the cameras.
The police cannot be trusted with evidence that implicates police.
Re: Re: I think the rest of us will be more reasonable.
Yes, this. Automated cars will almost certainly reduce accidents caused by driver error to very nearly zero. I think a reasonable expectation is that they would be 1-2% of what they are now.
"it has been years now that the car CAN bus system is horribly flawed with security holes."
Exactly this. I've programmed for CAN-based systems before, and security is simply not a part of mix. In the old days, this was (barely) acceptable because you had to physically connect to the system to subvert it.
Getting CAN anywhere near an external network is guaranteed to be a serious problem, though.
I think the copyright holders couldn't care less. Or if they do care, they prefer that unrelated things get included in the takedown lists over the chance that even a single legitimate infringement might go without a takedown.
My reaction is just the opposite: The contrarian in me is now tempted to take photos of buildings/bridges/etc. where previously I had no interest in it.
One thing's for certain: I'm not going to worry about whether or not such structures are in my photos. I'm going to keep taking pictures just as I always have.
This is me. My total Comcast bill is lower with internet+basic cable than with internet alone, so I get basic cable. But I haven't even hooked the converter box up. I'm a "cord cutter" in that I don't watch cable TV, but I'm not a "cord cutter" in their statistics.
Jeffry Houser is correct. This was the Big Lie of the forced inclusion of DRM support in HTML5. DRM still requires you to install a plugin, just like it always has before. The only real difference is that they don't call it a plugin anymore.
