It should be illegal for the government to do so, further make it illegal for businesses to do so AND for city, county, state, federal governments to utilize third party databases.
> You do not want local govt each building their own “secure” system
I really do. A centralised, insecure [1] database could lead to America losing a war.
A distributed system of low-reliability nodes is more robust than a centralised system that's very reliable. "ARPANET," after all "was built to explore technologies related to building a military command-and-control network that could survive a nuclear attack." (That's not what it wound up becoming.)
I wonder if anyone will actually write their own article/blog providing a much better explanation of the subject matter. Or at least provide links to those articles that are alternatives to this.
> Considering REAL ID is not sufficient for DHS or ICE, I highly doubt it.
You can get a real id without being a citizen so it shouldn't be used as proof of citizenship.
From the California DMV site:
> Any Californian who can prove their current legal presence in the United States (U.S.) with one of the accepted identity documents (original or certified copy) is eligible to receive a REAL ID driver license or identification (DL/ID) card. This includes all U.S. citizens, permanent residents who are not U.S. citizens (Green Card holders), and those with temporary legal status, such as recipients of Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) or Temporary Protected Status (TPS) and holders of a valid student or employment visa.
As you pointed out, you need to have a valid legal status to obtain a REAL ID.
My gripe is that presenting that proof of valid legal status is not enough proof for the enforcement agencies checking for valid legal status. A digital version of your passport is not going to make those agencies less difficult to work with in public places.
REAL ID was never intended to be a citizen ID card. It's really just an extension of state IDs to have better identity verification by requiring more documents. The goal is that if someone has a REAL ID, then that's really who they are.
Surf is built entirely on editable WYSIWYG documents, NotebookLM's main AI is built on chat. Surf is built to be a bit more open, NotebookLM was a bit locked down for our taste.
An example I'd highlight is taking notes against a PDF.
NotebookLM will convert the PDF to simple text, and the chat responses are read only. NotebookLM also has a lot of strict walls between chat, artifacts & sources. You have to "save" responses as (read only) notes, and move notes to sources.
With Surf you can generate notes that deep link to specific pages in the PDF, and Surf will open those pages in the original PDF. You can remove the fluff you don't want in your notes. The intention is to be a little more open -- all notes are sources from the get go, you don't have to save or migrate anything.
Here we have an article written by a Palestinian that has lived in Palestine his entire life, who has bern imprisoned and tortured by Hamas for simply criticizing the group, who is providing his first hand on-the-ground account that Hamas is sabotaging the peace process by engaging in violence against Palestinians, and your response is to deny his reality and claim that it’s Israel’s fault the way Hamas is behaving against fellow Palestinians?
There are reasons why the political Left has been accused of being unhelpful in the Middle East peace process and why some argue an underlying antisemitism is at play.
This is a strawman, the parent is right and nothing you just said detracts from their argument. We can and should encourage both sides to extradite their war criminals and stop the lawless killing that threatens civilians. Attempts to isolate the blame into one ethnic group is antisemitism in its purest form.
It is only possible to reach a lasting peace if both sides are willing. Palestinians are willing - are Israelis? I see the internationally illegal colonies being constructed in the Golan Heights and Hebron and have my doubts.
just wonder, do you know that hebron had continuous jewish presence for 2500 years or so with brief pause after hebron massacre of 1929 and after jordanian ethnic cleansing of jews from west bank after 1948 ?
also, based on what you say that palestinians are willing to reach lasting peace ?
not derailing, just pointing out effective ways of producing good which is what i was responding to. i think its good for people to be aware of this. those people are all examples of people who have influenced culture for bad. you can do it for good: bryan johnson, civil rights leaders, leftist streamers. andrew tate was just the most effective, recent, and obvious one which is why I pointed him out.
