What do you think is going to happen when DDG or Fastmail gets a FISA warrant? You think they will stand their ground and go to prison to protect your info?

History (like the PRISM project) says no.


The article indicates even Meta pushed back on some of these:

> Unlike Thomas-Johnson, users in that case were given the chance to fight the subpoena because they were made aware of it before Meta complied.


I think those are two different orders: one with a gag order and one without.

In cases without gag orders, Google has pushed back or requested users fight the subpoena.

In this instance, Google got a gag order while Meta doesn't appear to have gotten one. I'm not sure how gag orders like this can be legal. I'm sure there's like Nat Sec defenses but it sure seems dangerous to say the target cannot be notified of such requests.


Fastmail is Australian, though?

I don't know about Fastmail, but according to DuckDuckGo[0]:

That's exactly it. In every large corp I ever worked at, the bonuses for managers always depended on whatever company initiative was happening at the time.

Incentives almost always drive the outcome.


It's almost as if that's what incentives are for. Whether the outcome is the intended one is of course another question entirely.

I think part of the issue in California at least is that you must have insurance. You gonna get a giant fine if you don't.

You are talking about US.

UK doesn't fund Israel, yet they've had most demonstrations there - still do. Clearly it isn't about the violence (whether in Iran or Israel). It's about Israel.


The RAF does a lot of flights over Gaza so the UK is actually involved, and the big focus in the UK is on Elbit systems who makes parts for the planes that bomb Gaza. The UK government isn't materially supporting the Iranian regime as far as I can tell


We've had FSD trial for 4 months in the middle of last year. I work from home so I can't really justify $100 a month. However, we did take a few trips (about 60 miles in each direction) to see family through downtown LA.

I was honestly stunned by how far the tech has come. It basically drove us door to door without a single intervention.


I talked to about 3 people about this that have personal experience with Tesla autopilot and that's been the feedback. So where's the gap? What's the problem?


I don't think there is a problem per se. There are probably still edge cases out there that I didn't experience. But overall, I think the tech is ready to roll.


> many vehicles ... are almost indistinguishable

That is so right on the money. I attended the LA Auto Show a couple of months back and the takeaway was that every manufacturer pretty much makes the same safe car. There might be a feature here and feature there, but it's the same car.

In the years past they at least had lots of concept cars. This year, I maybe saw two and they weren't all that "concept".


What other middle eastern country is having protests? Haven't heard.


Israel, and of course you haven't heard since its our government's entire reason of being to protect that terrorist state.


He was depicted as weak because during his time an entire US embassy was held hostage in Iran for more than a year. Couple that with inflation reaching 14.8% and now you understand why.


The blog in question is in South Africa.


How do you install it into Claude Desktop? I tried the following, but it fails.

    "vibium": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@vibium/mcp@latest"
      ]
    }


"vibium": {

"command": "npx",

"args": [

"-y",

"vibium"

]

}

That didn't work - generates errors. But there is a PR in progress that should fix it at some point soon.
