If you have an iPhone you can go ahead and try Flight Mode right now. You’ll see that it disconnects from WiFi and disables cellular. NFC, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi stay powered on, Bluetooth stays active. Yes, latest iOS has Bluetooth tracking protection on by default (varies by country, illegal in some), but it is not completely safe. I’m not sure about NFC and Wi-Fi. If you power the phone off it is unlikely to turn off the radios - they are needed for “find my iPhone” and similar features on Google and Samsung Galaxy phones.
Overall you can’t be confident that your phone does not reveal your location and identity to “law enforcement”, especially in places where police is well equipped to track you.
And I know we’re mostly atheists here, but please keep the theological discussion to a minimum and appreciate the lighthearted hypothetical scenario for what it is.
Meanwhile Telegram is one of the most effective and bullshit-free social networks, way more popular among certain audiences than Meta, X, and other garbage.
Oh, I should’ve mentioned the location. I’m not talking about the US.
It is widely used by tech people and people from Eastern Europe and Middle East. Effectively everyone I know from Ukraine, Russia, Belarus, Latvia, Turkey and India use it.
as someone who had worked in transparent jurisdictions: everyone should absolutely be pissed about not having this info available publicly always in real time.
I’ve been thinking about something and want to check an assumption I have. I only hear directly from other people in the USA, and interract with the global community through memes. How are the gun regulations/laws different from yours in terms of strictness, and do you wish there was more or less where you live?...
Several Dutch people told me that firearms are common on ships under the Dutch flag. Given the number of people owning sea-worthy vessels this might be interesting. Do you know anything about this?
MIT Technology Review got an exclusive preview of the research
The article was published 3 days after the arxiv release. How is this an “exclusive preview”?
Successfully tricking existing models by a few crafted samples doesn’t seem like a significant achievement. Can someone highlight what exactly is interesting here? Anything that can’t be resolved by routine adjustments to loss/evaluation functions?
From wikipedia: “Pirate Party is a label adopted by political parties around the world. Pirate parties support civil rights, direct democracy (including e-democracy) or alternatively participation in government, reform of copyright and patent laws to make them more flexible and open to encourage innovation and creativity, use...
They don’t have to cover everything. Pirate Parties often ally with other parties that cover other specific problems, e.g. Piratenpartij & De Groenen (“Pirate Party” and “The Greens” alliance) in Netherlands, and they work well together.
This might be OK depending on your location and the government system in place. Voting for a single person that has to answer all questions sounds like UK or US to me.
Take a look at the Finnish or the Dutch parliament. 7, 8, 16 parties there? Independent (no-party) politicians too. Each one of them is free to represent people with specific needs and only focus on that.
Also keep in mind that some questions like “healthcare” and “welfare” may be less relevant too. It can be pretty much resolved (you can always promise to “increase doctors’ wages by 30%!”). More specific issues remain.
😒 Even though I am a slim 2-meter tall blonde blue-eyed rude narcissistic guy with a strong Dutch accent living in Amsterdam, eating sandwiches for lunch, even though I can ride a bike and skipper a ship in any weather with equal ease, and I do enjoy making fun of Brits, I am not Dutch. I also drink more tea than you do :P
At first I though “surely this is about the US”, but no, even in the US at least some states require public bathrooms in all coffee shops, cafe, restaurants etc. Some states have exceptions depending on the size of the establishment and some states do not have this regulation at all.
I also just checked Dutch and some other countries’ laws. Public bathrooms are required for new establishments with no exceptions. I have not found a EU-wide regulation though.
