The important part of the article:

> From then on, any eyewear with video and audio recording capability will be forbidden in all of the First Judicial District buildings, courthouses, or offices, even for people who have a prescription. Other devices with recording capabilities like cell phones and laptops continue to be allowed inside courtrooms but must be powered off and stowed away.

It's defined as having recording capability, which is quite a reasonable restriction to make, IMO.


That's actually not too bad - it leaves space for devices that do have cameras or microphones for other reasons, as long as they don't persist the output. So you could do real time recognition for assistive devices etc.

What about facial recognition? Even without persistence that’s a big deal for juries.

I remember one of the first impressions I had in GW1 during test events was the sense of scale in the world that still managed to avoid excessive harsh geometry angles for the most part. Not surprised to hear it was pushing more polygons than average.

P.S. GW1 remains one of my favorite games and the source of many good memories from both PvP and PvE. From fun stories of holding the Hall of Heroes to some unforgettable GvG matches, y'all made a great game.


aka tiny, relatively speaking, compared to similar sites with the same user base


Seems like the issues in question are not within Tailscale's span of control (basically, the devices themselves with TPMs are too unreliable in the general population, so the feature is more appropriate for controlled environments that opt in to its usage).


The TPM devices themselves are reliable, but using them comes with a lot of caveats. 99% of users have never heard of the TPM, and 99% of the ones who have won’t have realized that upgrading the BIOS clears¹ the TPM. Add in the fact that Tailscale users didn’t _know_ that tailscale was using the TPM and you have a recipe for users breaking things without realizing it. In an enterprise environment where you can afford to hire people specifically to care about these thing, using TPMs for additional security is a great idea.

¹: and very few of those can explain that it doesn’t actually clear the TPM. Instead it causes a different state to be measured by the TPM, and in that new state the TPM cannot unlock the keys that were previously stored in it. This is a great way to protect the computer against someone who can pull the hard drive out of the computer and try to read the data off of it, or who can substitute a different BIOS chip to get around a BIOS password, but not so great for ordinary users who want the occasional upgrade to go smoothly.


Resizing the window smaller makes the game a lot simpler.


It does. There are 100 levels.


Someone played EVE Online.



You mean StarCraft.


Very different. HMC has fewer than 1000 students, all undergraduates, and is a private college, whereas Stony Brook is a public school with ~25k students including ~8k postgrads.


Interac doesn't have a monopoly in Canada; Visa / MC obviously have a presence as well.


Are there Visa and MasterCard Debitcards there? From what I saw, and again only a basic look, Interac is the only major player for Debit Cards. Of course, I welcome more competition if Interac were to enter the USA market.


Yes, and in some cases both, e.g. Scotiabank has debit cards that allow both Visa and Interac transactions: https://www.scotiabank.com/ca/en/personal/ways-to-bank/debit...


Interac is an example of a debit card system that specifically isn't using the Visa / Mastercard protocols.


Most banks (all?) provide Interac cards that can operate with Visa/Mastercard protocols. They won't allow you to incur debt, but you can use them as a credit card.

It's helpful when traveling abroad to places that do not have Interac.


A set of encryption keys is a lot smaller than the set of all user data, so it's much more viable to have both more redundant hot storage and more frequently rotated cold storage of just the keys.
