Do you have kids? I'm not being glib. Yes, I have set up technical guardrails. But when your kid needs Internet access to do their homework, and you forget to turn off the WiFi to their device after they're done... then they sneak

how about we start with a law that requires tech companies to provide useful parental controls? Can we please stop blaming parents??

How does that work in practice? I've tried to do this at home. It doesn't work at all. It's not the 90s any more- there isn't one PC sitting on a desk with a modem attached to a phone line that you need to wait for 30 se

The company may not care, but the gov definitely does. And if you don’t report then you could be in serious legal jeopardy. If any fragments of that image are still present on your machine, whether it came from the company or not, you could

If the picture truly was of a child, the company is _required_ to report CSAM to NCMEC. It's taken very seriously. If they're not being responsive, escalate and report it yourself so you don't have legal problems. See https:

You can bound risk on ai agents just like an atm. You just can’t rely upon the ai itself to enforce those limits, of course. You need to place limits outside the ai’s reach. But this is already documented best practice. The point about ai n

I would say that at the time of the election, the idea of funding ICE at the level of the third largest military in the world would be considered a conspiracy theory. The democrats won't do that because that would lose them the only le

My concern is that we will end up in a state of perpetual government "shutdown". The republicans, instead of reopening the entire government, will simply choose agencies to fund in order to keep the pain felt by the American peopl

There is no non-IoT 2.4ghz network in my design. All "fast" devices are on a 5ghz only network. The only 2.4ghz network is dedicated to IoT devices. This also eliminates the need for devices to hunt and roam between 5ghz and 2.4gh

Well, unless you’re multihomed, you’ll always only have one cable coming in. It’s what you do with that cable that matters :) Even the telco provided router/ap combo units usually have a built in switch, so you don’t even need another

Yes, the book has a clear point of view. That said, it's not subtle at all, and they're very clear about their bias. I'd rather a clearly defined bias than one that is hidden from view or some half-hearted attempt at "bo
