Just make social security numbers public information at this point. Who cares. Don't develop your security model around a users SS number being secret.
When you go to a bar, the bouncer checks your ID and determines your age. He will not remember your name. He will not inform the government you are at the bar. He will not write down who you met with or talked to. We as a society trust he will not do these things. You are still anonymous from the perspective of the bouncer.
If humans really truely tried I am sure we could design a transparent system for verifying age or human-ness that we (tech paranoid Lemmings) could trust, but it doesn't seem like governments even want to try. They just want to track people.
AI engagement will be the death of the internet and democracy if we cannot stop it. We have Paleolithic emotions, medieval institutions and godlike technology.
We technically know how to be a responsible adult (civilization)
I don't think our government institutions are able to address the speed at which things are developing. Everyone wants to regulate AI, but what does that even look like?
Does Bob Bobson R-WY (age 83) chair of the Senate Committee for Emerging Technologies know? Does he have the capacity to know? Don't fuck it up, Bob or we all die. It's not Senator Bob's fault, he exists inside a governmental organization that prioritizes wisdom and seniority (I mean, took at Senator John Johnson, pro tempore (age 102) ).
but we can't help partying, fighting and drunk driving etc.
Primate brains. It all feeds back into itself as this destructive cycle.
Scott Shambaugh here. None of the quotes you attribute to me in the second half of the article are accurate, and do not exist at the source you link. It appears that they themselves are AI hallucinations. The irony here is fantastic.
The legislation responds to pressing labor shortages in essential industries by creating a market-driven temporary worker program that adapts to economic conditions. The bill creates a new H-2C nonimmigrant visa, available to employers who prove their positions have gone unfilled for three consecutive months and in areas where the unemployment rate is 7.9% or less.
Wasn't this a pain point with H-1Bs? They want things to cost less but don't want to bring in cheap foreign labour to depress wages? How do they not understand supply and demand? "Go be a plumber, they make good money" "Wow, this quote I got from that plumber is so high" "Me be a plumber? No way"
TBH they want the the DOJ to "investigate" which is softer language. I want the DOJ to formally charge (indict) Epstein's pedophilic clients and prosecute them to the fullest extent of the law.
He was wearing his Marine camouflage and carrying a lawfully owned 9mm Glock handgun on his right hip, as he does every day, he told The Intercept. Agents on the scene “thought I was undercover,” Saari said. “They kept asking what agency I was with.”
When Saari told them he was not with any agency, their demeanor shifted. Federal immigration agents soon aimed M4-style rifles at his head
(1) Its almost like its important to be able to clearly identify law enforcement.
(2) Seems like the opposite of de-escalation. The thing law enforcement is supposed to do.
Regardless of what this event is, someone in the Trump administration just realized they can perform economic terrorism on cities they don't like by arbitrarily shutting down their airspace.

Pretty much what it says on the tin, but for more context. My friends and I use Discord to play D&D and other TTRPGs. We also use it to send memes and just have conversations.

Some of the Epstein emails were released as scanned PDFs of raw email format (See MIME)
MIME formatted emails are ASCII based. To include an attachments, which can be binary, the MIME format specifies it must be encoded using base64. Base64 can always take binary input and return an ASCII output. This is trivial to reverse if you have the ASCII output.
However, the font choice is inconvenient because l and 1 look the same.
I'm a bit confused by the article is only discussing extracting PDFs while in actuality you can reverse any attachment including images.
I am also no expert, so a smarter person will now correct me on anything I got wrong.
