No, not a duplicate but an update. The post you linked from Nov. 18 was actually included in this story (2nd link). Today's post says "On Wednesday, a federal judge authorized a summons requiring Coinbase to provide the IRS with those records."
To be fair, alarms and cameras act as deterrents to break ins - at least to some criminals. It's not naive to think so, it's basic human nature. Criminals are generally looking for easy targets and don't want to be caught. Alarms blaring are contrary to that goal, as are the chances of being seen in real time or ID'd later by cameras. Again, not every criminal will be deterred by the same things, but using layers of security is the right approach.
Watch the video linked in the summary and the moment before the car stops, a light comes on in the garage. This light probably messes with the cameras/sensors. Not making any excuses for Tesla, just making an observation.
Also, the rest of the federal government has terrible IT infrastructure, and the previous Secretaries also had many problems, so we can't really fault the current Department of State with malfeasance. No, best to just move on and pretend nothing happened.
From the report cover:
"As is the case throughout the Federal Government, management weaknesses at the Department have contributed to the loss or removal of email records, particularly records created by the Office of the Secretary. These weaknesses include a limited ability to retrieve email records, inaccessibility of electronic files, failure to comply with requirements for departing employees, and a general lack of oversight.
OIG’s ability to evaluate the Office of the Secretary’s compliance with policies regarding records preservation and use of non-Departmental communications systems was, at times, hampered by these weaknesses. However, based on its review of records, questionnaires, and interviews, OIG determined that email usage and preservation practices varied across the tenures of the five most recent Secretaries and that, accordingly, compliance with statutory, regulatory, and internal requirements varied as well."
To avoid a de-facto national gun registry, though, the checks need to be destroyed after the sale completes. They were originally destroyed immediately after the sale finalized, but Janet Reno changed the rules to retain the checks for 6 months, ostensibly for two reasons: to police the government (so that unauthorized checks against random non gun-purchasers by corrupt officials could be caught) and to guard against gun purchases made under stolen identities.
Garland’s opinion was that if the law required the records destroyed immediately, Congress would have specified a timeframe. Given the ambiguity of the law, had Garland imposed a timeframe on the government he would have been legislating from the bench.
Not completely true. Brady Bill Sec 3 (3) (i) says: "Prohibitions Relating to Establishment of Registration Systems With Respect to Firearms.--No department, agency, officer, or employee of the United States may...(2) use the system...to establish any system for the registration of firearms, firearm owners, or firearm transactions or dispositions, except with respect to persons prohibited...from receiving a firearm."
You may want to argue that the 180 day rule written by Reno to "guard against gun purchases made under stolen identities" used by prohibited persons, but this kind of registry necessarily ensnares all allowed persons - thus violating the intent of the law. The registration of prohibited persons is specifically covered under 28 CFR 25.9 and is limited to only creating a log of denied transactions.
"...the FBI wants Apple to create a special version of iOS that only works on the one iPhone they have recovered. This customized version of iOS (*ahem* FBiOS) will ignore passcode entry delays, will not erase the device after any number of incorrect attempts, and will allow the FBI to hook up an external device to facilitate guessing the passcode. The FBI will send Apple the recovered iPhone so that this customized version of iOS never physically leaves the Apple campus."
"Even with a customized version of iOS, the FBI has another obstacle in their path: the Secure Enclave (SE)...a separate computer inside the iPhone that brokers access to encryption keys for services like the Data Protection API (aka file encryption)..."
"...the recovered iPhone is a 5C. The 5C model iPhone lacks TouchID and, therefore, lacks the single most important security feature produced by Apple: the Secure Enclave."

I read the title of the post and thought that advertisers would pay YOU to show YOU ads. That might be acceptable to me, receiving a payment for every ad I have to see.
I have an account for my student loan and got the website operator to correct their mistake of blocking users' passwords from being pasted. Short story: copy/paste worked, then they killed it, I asked them nicely and with a good rationale to change it back, and they eventually did.
I had found their accounting methods to be...not necessarily straightforward or well documented...so I decided to log in to their site every single day and download a PDF summary of the loan principle and interest balances. That way, I at least have a record over time of what they've done. Once I've collected enough data, I intend to go back and get a full understanding of how they're accounting for everything. Easy as pie, copy and paste my username/email address and password, click download, save a dated copy of the report and be done for the day.
Anyways, one day I found that I was unable to paste, so I chalked it up to a bug. A few days went by and I finally contacted their support team notifying them of the bug. They responded that their developers said that “By allowing users to paste a password into Manage My Account, the password is not being subjected to the edits in place to ensure that the password meets security requirements. Although it does not rule out all attacks, it does help to prevent automated attacks.” I found this to not be a satisfactory explanation, so I politely informed them in a detailed manner that passwords meeting security requirements had nothing to do whatsoever with the process of logging in and that their change had made for a very unpleasant user experience. I didn't hear anything back for a couple of weeks, but then they responded saying that they would make the change back to the original functionality within a couple of months...and they did!
Facial analysis studies could show how to detect lies, but it could also instruct on how to evade detection. If you know which eye movements, twitches, etc. are indicators of lying, you can practice avoiding those things while lying. Conversely, peppering in those types of indicators during obvious truths could cause false positives and totally throw off the reliability of knowing whether someone is lying.
Hey, look at an AC flying and dropping bullshit...
Look, this is just secondhand information I got from Facebook from someone I know who works for Disney as a DBA. Could they be lying? Maybe, but I trust them and the information sounds reasonable enough. Could I be lying? Sure, but my instincts tell me I'm not.
...whom I'm friends with, they say that of the 250 notified, only about 50-60 left the company because most were able to stay in the same field/department. The reason for the staff change is for a large system replacement being provided by an Indian software company. The people who left were maintaining very old systems that needed replacement...we're talking green screens here.
Now, I'm not saying I agree with the concept of the hard push for increasing H1-B employees in the US, but there may be more to the story than what was presented in the article.

External sensors likely don't test for this edge case...obstacles 2 or 3 feet in the air, absent obstacles at bumper level. Needs more sensors!
