Not much different than christians a few hundred years ago. Not much different than the current christians tendency to ignore or call it satan's lies anything that differs from their views.
Funny I have radiant floor heating and it takes hours to change temp. Traditional thermostats also suck at getting it right they cut off heat when the setpoint is reached which do to the lag is far to late and it overshoots. Compare that to a IoT thermostat that can figure this out take outside conditions into account. Mind you radiant floor heating is generally wonderful with a nice ven warmth. Hell all that thermal mass means I lag hours behind in the summer as well.
IoT is a bad idea it's everybody's device going to the cloud and only working together if a deal is struck. I do want lots of sensors etc in my home controlled by a local box, maybe the box is pretty thin shifting things to the cloud maybe it's thick and does everything locally in a perfect works it's a hybrid. It gets weather forecasts, calendaring info, school closings, when my phone thinks I'll be home, current buy prices for electricity, etc but it generally uses local logic to make decisions.
For it to realy work well it needs more data, requiring grocery stores to publish all their prices including sales if they are to accept food stamps would mean near perfect information with that NGO's etc can make near perfect shopping lists. Expand out and your refrigerator knows what you have historical trending and thus can figure out your grocery list. Your thermostat can figure out if it's cheaper to run the heat pump or a ng boiler or electric hot water heater. Your sprinkler system can put off watering if rain is expected and not send the robot lawn mower out hell it can know if there is some town ordinance that says you can not water your lawn today (and still do so if the owner says to).
It's also little things, since you can get a decently powerful wifi enabled full ip stack microcontroller for under a couple bucks now. That means no clock ever blinking 12:00 as the sntp can provide it. It also means that pretty much every sensor etc can be networked and thus used. Is the humidity up in the kitchen says the stove, well the exhaust fan can turn on says the home controller.
Sure if you remember to use the new coke version of the command.
Look at rhel/centos 7 ifconfig is no longer standard everything done via ip. I've seen good programs do this right look as a if called as recognise their flags etc.
Even with a standards body (zwave) it's hard to insure things work cross manufacture. Every company it trying to be the one and only solution and most are trying to get ya to pay them 10 bucks a month forever to use their cloud to control what you own.
Hud's are very useful putting the info you need in your vision.
Steering wheel controls keeps your hand where they should be.
Adding features apps etc to a car stereo is fsking useless. Cars last a couple decades I would not want to be stuck with 1995 computer tech today. I do want a standard interface and a few components. Bluetooth works pretty well for low speed stuff in a very standardized manner. Displayport/HDMI/usb3 to run one or more screens, sure cars might have 4k in a few years but reality is displays in cars need to be different than a general use. Pretty much the car needs an amp, past that a radio tuner and gps is useful.
People told them this would happen when they came up with the system. Government gets gamed every time is makes winners and losers, fishing quota's, water quota's etc when you use a ratio from previous use and allow them to be sold somebody will game it.
Want less emissions, make cheap energy. Want to make lots of cheap energy it's call fission the tech was commercialized 50 years ago. Build some plants the use tech that is not 40+ years old and stop trying to regulate it into the ground (anything less radioactive than the average human is not radioactive waste). Use systems like gas based primary where a leak would not be radioactive by the time it gets past the containment vessel. Use cogen where the "waste" heat is put to use like desalination and hydrogen manufacturing. Use prefab standardized SMR's with iterative designs, so your replacing/upgrading the SMR's on a regular basis not trying to keep some 40+ year old plant online.
Could just simplify it to so observations of any kind of private property with an exception for computer vision and similar that is not stored for any appreciable time and only used for navigation.
If your going to make laws for giggles throw in no government agency may employ drones for any purpose other than search and rescue that do not comply with civilian regulations and no information gained by drones directly or indirectly may be used in criminal or civil cases.
Sorry to reply to myself, it's not a question of tracking we all know with a warrant current and historical data can be gotten. The issue this is warrantless gathering that can include violating multiple federal laws that they are getting away with since they are the cops. Pretty much if I can not do it legally they should not be able to without a court order or a specific law allowing it.
TFA does not mention it because the cops are actively trying to hide what this kit does and when they use it. They are getting called out on the location data. The bigger issue is a cop can arbitrarily listen in/track whatever with no oversight. Getting the same data from towers can also be done in realtime but leaves a paperwork trail.
The 4th circuit which covers Baltimore says it requires a warrant in United States v. Graham. Even the 11th which disagrees still requires the lower burden of a court order. Neither allow for cops to gather this sort of thing on a whim like they are now. So with little doubt the cops inside the 4th circuit are violating the at least the spirit of the ruling.
Seems you're wrong the actual stingray device can do GSM Active Key Extraction which allows them encrypt the communications. So yes the devices can be used to listen to people's calls.
If it's your phone you can consent to it no warrant needed.
In any event the state has no business hiding the fact these were used and how. It's one thing to protect a witnesses entirely another to intentionally deceive in discovery. To protect a witness requires the judge to agree it's needed the police/prosecutors should never be making that decision.
I landed my first real compute gig working at IBM. My boss was ok with me tinkering with anything in the hardware closets (I was in intern at first). Soon I had a RS/6000 on my desk next to the mod 80 it was a dream. Soon I had internet access from my desk and everything went from there.
You're not going to be buffering anything inbound and proper prioritization outbound means your voip packets go to the front of the line. Buffer bloat is more an issue in the public internet net the end points. Intelligent QoS can make big buffers useful but that's too easy to game both by the bad users/applications and the ISP's themselves (let there own and partners packets cut the line). It's also why gear in the default free zone tends not to have deep buffers.
Police work does not attract those that should be doing it, much like politicians. The people you least want to do the job are the majority of those that do it.
Thus all are laws etc should stem from that basic premise coupled with they volunteered to put their life on the line. They need to have the least amount of privileges and the most amount of oversight compared to an average person. In broad strokes they should be required to be go to a grand jury when they kill someone, they should not be able to bring into evidence that they are a police officer and the DA's office needs to be barred from the farce of playing the prosecutor.
Why is this a good idea? I have a house full of smart devices the last thing I want is them connecting directly out to the internet. Sure my house knows the weather forecast and adjusts heating/cooling based upon that. It knows when I'm headed home and to crank up the hut tub turn the lights on and continue my playlist from where I left off in the car. None of this would be aided by direct connectivity, it would only be giving up security and control.
I would love a fridge that could tell me my current levels and project when I'll run out or things will spoil. To make that a killer app you need pricing data from all the local stores and for rfid or some other method that does not require user intervention on a regular basis.
I would love a heating plant that can use oil, NG, Propane, or heat pump based upon the cheapest current option. That does not mean my thermostats should be connecting out the the internet.
The whole concept of a lightbulb that has to go out to the cloud to get instructions baffles me what use case does that make sense? LED bulbs 22 year life span you think that cloud server will still be there? Sure it's great for the manufactures to get rent forever.
This all makes about as much sense as the meraki gear from cisco, a router that shuts off if you don't pay the maintenance.
Your increasing congestion that impacts ambulances. I've driven in NYC with full lights and sirens you still can not get anywhere as people have no way to get out of your way.
I will say full lights and sirens skidding up to grand central gets you odd looks from the vendors from then on.
The zwave model for zwave updates works as in the smart controller updating simpler IoT devices. Something better than aes128 will be welcome for zwave. It's the direct to wifi call home stuff, hell every network connected printer nowadays tries to connect to the mothership.

So what you're saying is you like powershell?
Aliases are not realy a fix you can not reliably write shell script with them and stay portable.
Try getting one in the rain sometime.
The physics are so bad it hurts.
It uses the power the reaches the earth not the power than the sun outputs. The suns output is about 3.846 × 10^26
It's assuming we can sustain population growth, while many first world countries are negative growth.
It assumes we stay on this rock, people and industry need to shift off planet for growth.

In the UK somebody impersonating the police will probably become very familiar with the working end of a billy club in short order.

At most it should go "I see a cop trying to pull us over should i call 911 for you?" aka the same thing I tell my child to do.
In any event the person in the vehicle needs to be able to quickly override the computer's or 2 people can corner any car to carjack it.

You can not fix stupid.
Blind studies with control groups fail. It's not a fscking anything it's a flavor of hypochondriac, he needs counseling and possibly some psych meds.

None of which is realy to go onto big iron.
Twinax, IBM's old 5250 cable is all the rage again, running new sas/sata displayport and 10-100ge.
