To add on to this, it’s also why liberal talking points tend to really highlight savings from programs. As another easy example of good spending: if it costs $50k to send someone to drug rehab versus $75k to house them in prison for a year, with respective rehabilitation rates for 65 and 48 percent, you save and make money twice. Not only is it cheaper up front to send them to rehab, but the lack of a criminal record leaves that person more free when searching for jobs later which can make them a much more productive taxpayer from an input to the economy standard.

The court records and driving histories reveal a state so concerned with people having access to motor vehicles for work and life that it allows deadly drivers to share our roads despite the cost. Officials may call driving a privilege, but they treat it as a right — often failing to take drivers’ licenses even after they kill someone on the road.

With little to no mass transit in most of the country these people would often become impoverished and or essentially wards of the state so this is not surprising.

We found nearly 40% of the drivers charged with vehicular manslaughter since 2019 have a valid license.

I honestly figured this would be higher. I don’t expect anything to change as long as this country is intensely car focused for transportation though.

Maybe if they made cars people wanted at affordable prices this wouldn’t be an issue?

The article keeps talking about China gaining ground but if these companies had gotten a jump on affordable EVs years ago instead of fighting emissions targets this wouldn’t have been an issue in the first place.

Specifically from their table:

The security researcher, LimitedResults, coordinated disclosure with Espressif on their advisory and details of the exploit. The attack works against eFuse, a one-time programmable memory where data can be burned to the device.

By burning a payload into the device’s eFuse, no software update can ever reset the fuse and the chip must be physically replaced or the device discarded. A key risk is that the attack does not fully replace the firmware, so the device may appear to work as normal.

Why does a random esp32 chip need efuses in the first place??

That is a wonderfully destructive ending!

It’s not just public knowledge, Lufthansa tested it in commercial airliners a few years ago. it’s just a FUD article to make it look like this is some new unknown super tech.

They address concentrations varying among sites and comparative to urban areas. They also did other tests besides what you mentioned. Note:

Time- and spatially integrated samples of I/SVOCs were collected during box flight segments (for example, Fig. 1A) and downwind transects and analyzed by means of gas chromatography on both unit-resolution and high-resolution mass spectrometers [gas chromatography–electron ionization–mass spectrometry (GC-EI-MS) and gas chromatography–time of flight (GC-ToF)], which revealed abundant complex mixtures of I/SVOCs near both surface mining and in situ facilities (Figs. 2 and 3). IVOCs (C12 to C18) and SVOCs (C19 to C25) were uncharacteristically abundant relative to VOCs (Fig. 1E) and were observed around various facilities, as shown in selected flight samples in Fig. 2A (additional examples are available in figs. S6 and S7). The relative abundances and composition varied between and around facilities, with maxima ranging from C17 to C22 (Fig. 2A, figs. S8 and S9, and tables S5 and S6), which may suggest varying on-site sources and emissions pathways. There are stark differences in the observed concentrations when compared with that of urban areas.

Emphasis added to the last sentence mine. Why shill for oil at the expense of your own health?

Or MacOS. They've made it seem like those are the only two options besides chromebooks which are just for those who don't want to spend money.

They just updated it to say the 98 year old co-founder died “because of stress related to the raids.”

If you have an Apple computer and are willing to download some code there’s period underground… it’s terribly written by me for my wife. She uses it on her iPhone and it keeps all data local. I never tried to get it on the App Store due to qt licenses, and because the encryption module didn’t compile so it will rely on you not unlocking your device for someone who shouldn’t be seeing the data. There’s other options I’ve seen on here hopefully one of those will work.

It does exist on the android store with encryption as an option and blank data with no warning if you enter the wrong password. Also includes a quick delete and a quick delete with random data written into the database as deletion options

You're probably right, but why in the heck does instagram need health and fitness data? That really should set off alarm bells to any of the saps downloading that thing...
