    Welfare Agents Tapped License Plate Database to Track and Prove Welfare Fraud

    A warrant to observe what vehicles come and go in a public place? A warrant to access data that was compiled regarding who cam and went in a public place? I'm not saying that the government can't put restrictions on how such data is gathered and used, but you don't have a constitutional right...

    Welfare Agents Tapped License Plate Database to Track and Prove Welfare Fraud

    They aren't tracking everyone on welfare. They are investigating cases where someone is expected of welfare fraud, and even then they appear to be mainly using it to track people down when they aren't located at where they claim to reside. It doesn't take the place of an investigation, it aids...

    Study: Humans Show Racial Bias towards Robots of Different Colors

    So what about comparing black colored robots with red ones, or adding neon green to the test. What was the color of the background? Did the white or black robots blend in better? If they are going to make this a study of racism, how did the race of the shooter effect the results. Were black...

    Cyberpunk 2077 Will Include Full Nudity for a Very Important Reason

    I'm not particularly prudish about nudity. But I have one 8 and one 9 year boy in the house. I don't allow them to play games rated mature but I sometimes I play them and tell them to not watch me play. If the game is too dark, then I probably can't play it while they are awake and in the...

    California Considering New Data Privacy Regulation

    We have gone through round after round of strengthening privacy protections based on the argument that consumers shouldn't be tricked into giving up their privacy in return for good and services. Each time the allegation that consumers were being tricked into the choice became less and less...

    California Considering New Data Privacy Regulation

    The service agreements keep getting longer and longer due to more and more consumer protection regulations as well as more lawsuits. So "important" protections are getting buried. If the solution is to put such agreements in a separate document that must be agreed to individually, how long...

    California Considering New Data Privacy Regulation

    Would California have any authority to enforce this on a company with no substantial physical presence in California? With #4 you would essentially be banning the business model that has brought the vast majority of the growth by internet businesses. Pretty much all of Google, social media...

    Sec 2 H. "You should also be able to control the use of your, and your children's, personal information, and be able to stop businesses from selling your information. Your decision to request information from a business about its collection and sale of your personal information or to tell a...

    Tesla Settles Class Action Lawsuit Over Autopilot System

    The customers essentially got what they were promised. They didn't get much compensation because they were never promised a perfect, fully autonomous vehicle. The settlement was so small because the lawsuit had so little merit.

    Uber's Software Failed In Fatal Arizona Crash According to NTSB

    It's a bit more complicated than the sensors detected her and therefore the car should have stopped. The sensors don't provide a boolean. True if pedestrian detected and false if one is not detected. They provide feedback that has to be interpreted. False positives are a very significant...

    First 10nm Cannon Lake Laptop Spotted Online: Lenovo Ideapad 330 for $449

    So is it significantly cheaper for them to make this CPU on a 10nm process? Maybe they are currently more interested in cost savings than increasing performance.

    Canada Facing “Brain Drain” as Young Tech Talent Leaves for Silicon Valley

    As a computer engineer who moved back to the US from Canada and just filed my last tax return for Canada I can confidently say that your absurdly high taxes and overburdened and underfunded health care and other governmental services are the main reason I left. Very high income taxes and very...

    Harley-Davidson’s First Electric Motorcycle on Track for 2019 Release

    I would definitely want high visibility if not noise. It would also be worth paying close attention to when you are in the blind spot of the car in the next lane over. You need to practice good defensive driving when you have much more to lose from what might be a minor accident between two...

    AMD and Nvidia Must Do More To Stop Shortages and Gouging

    It's the third party sellers marking up the prices, not the manufacturers. "The two chipmakers must do more to protect the needs of their most important market or risk building their businesses on cryptocurrency quick sand." Cryptocurrency mining being unreliable is the problem. A lot of the...

    Uber's Ripley Program and Protocol

    Lying to the police is obstruction. Destroying evidence is obstruction. Refusing to cooperate with a search until given the opportunity to challenge the legality and constitutionality of the search is due process. It only becomes obstruction if they lose the appeals and continue to refuse to...
