I suspect he's propped up against that tree for a good photo

If the US would pass a law shielding companies from lawsuits related to donated food, then this could become the norm

Well good news then! That law is set to be passed in just thirty years ago

This idea is a myth used to excuse immoral behaviour.

Reminder that the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator is made up and the types don't matter

The perceived accuracy of test results relies on the Barnum effect, flattery, and confirmation bias, leading participants to personally identify with descriptions that are somewhat desirable, vague, and widely applicable.[10] As a psychometric indicator, the test exhibits significant deficiencies, including poor validity, poor reliability, measuring supposedly dichotomous categories that are not independent, and not being comprehensive.[11][12][13][14]

The inquest heard that due to shortages, only Officer B took a body camera that day, but did not wear it for any of the searches he conducted. He told the inquest his priority was “to get out of the car quickly due to the way Bradley was walking”.

If we ever want to be able to have a just police force, this sort of thing needs to be considered sufficient evidence of intent to commit a crime. Either you have a body camera on, or you are a civilian, not a cop

The whole the article is incredibly damning; an illegal stop, a "proactive policing" policy which can so obviously only ever lead to injustice, violation of the right to walk away, targeting without sufficient evidence, police lying about callouts on the radio

Fun fact! The current dismal state of scientific publishing is largely attributable to Robert Maxwell, father of Ghislaine Maxwell.

"You may not reverse engineer, decompile or disassemble any portion of the output generated using SDK elements for the purpose of translating such output artifacts to target a non-NVIDIA platform.,"

This is literally a protected right in multiple countries, so um...

The US Textbook industry single-handedly justifies the existence of Library Genesis (if it requires justification)

Note to studios: there is no amount of potential, unrealised profit that makes it ethical to install malware on another person's computer.

The FTC argued this would happen, it's the court that swallowed Microsoft's tripe. This is the FTC's "I told you, bro!"

Aw man, I'm on Diaspora and I didn't even recognise the logo.

Incidentally, this is a Peertube instance and therefore part of the Fediverse

Taken from the driver's seat of a new pickup truck?

"Security" meaning "preventing users from using the devices they own in the way they want to use them" apparently.

Zotero: a free and open-source reference management software to manage bibliographic data and related research materials, such as PDF and ePUB files.

It is a legal requirement in Australia that ISPs record all your "metadata" which will reveal torrent activity. The bittorrent protocol necessarily makes your IP public to peers. Copyright trolls are known to leave bots as fake seeders and peers to collect IPs to mass report people.

Tl;DR: not a good idea

IMO there are exceptionally few cases where it is acceptable for a QR code to not be immediately adjacent to a textual representation of the same content.

No. "New moon" is just the night side of the moon facing us. A lunar eclipse is when the Earth blocks sunlight from the moon, which can only occur on a full moon approximately every six months.

It’s not an entirely analog experience, though; a Slate smartphone app can manage settings, change drive mode, and provide range and charging info. But only when connected locally to the car—there’s no embedded modem, so forget about remote access. And the company says that while it may use data from the app to improve its products, it won’t sell that data.

That’s according to a new report from SAE International’s (and sometime Ars contributor) Roberto Baldwin. “We are building it around ownership value,” Slate said. “We collect data to make ownership better, not to turn the owner into the product. The app will collect data only when it directly contributes to enabling or improving a customer experience. Privacy is paramount. For Slate, privacy is not a compliance footnote. It is part of the product experience.”

“Customers should understand what is being shared, why it matters, and how it helps them own the vehicle with more confidence,” the company said. “That may include data needed to support account setup, device-to-vehicle connection, diagnostics, maintenance guidance, service support, charging context, OTA update status, customer support, and product improvement. Slate is being intentional about what the app can do and what data it collects. We would rather be precise and trusted than overpromise connected features or collect data without a clear customer benefit.”

Introduction of a smartphone app with phone home capability and a promise to only take data "with a clear customer benefit" is a far cry from both the headline and the original value proposition of the car.

Not one mention of consent. Not one mention of choice aside from the author's assumption that you don't always need the app (locking the ability to change driving modes behind it seems pretty significant).

This seems like a substantial blow against the already extremely niche market for the Slate, before even a single car has rolled off the line.
