i live in oregon and a bunch of the flock cameras have been vandalized.
a lot of the oregon towns/cities decided to cancel or not renew their contracts though, so I think they just let em get broken and then didnt pay to repair them.
HN's hidden Active section surfaces stories that are getting a lot of comments, which on its own is helpful. The most helpful part of Active is that it doesn't hide Flagged submissions. You may want to be especially aware of a submission that is getting a lot of comments but is flagged.
I appreciate this comment creating somewhere for people to discuss flagging. In my ideal HN you wouldn't be down voted but there would be a rigorous comment thread underneath it.
Given that Salesforce support case data contains the contents of support tickets with Cloudflare, any information that a customer may have shared with Cloudflare in our support system—including logs, tokens or passwords—should be considered compromised, and we strongly urge you to rotate any credentials that you may have shared with us through this channel.
Any discussion of Salt Typhoon should start with the unusual fact that it is still an active and uncontained incident, despite having been widely revealed in 2024. Typically we are accustomed to discussing lessons learned during a post mortem. This particular mortem has not yet posted. We are still owned and data continues to be compromised.
This commentary attempts to reassure people about staying with 23 and me, but ultimately ends up concluding that there's virtually nothing useful to be gleaned from the data created from the 23 and me process.
Author dismissed privacy concerns in the same way we see others downplay it: you already are giving up your privacy in other parts of your life, why not give it up here, too? Total nonsense, IMO.
The conclusion I came to from this, that I don't believe the author intended, is that you should delete your data from this company because it is pointless.
Hi Peter - do you have any specific thoughts for people posting about immigration scenarios here, to help keep themselves safe? Given that it was recently revealed that ICE is monitoring these comments.[0][1]
Everyone has to weigh the pros and cons for themselves but I think that being well-informed is the best defense so to speak, that is, to know what one's rights are and what the law is, so I think these open forums play an important role.
It is absolutely wild that people are posting about the ways that they have broken the letter of immigration law on here using their regular accounts and identifiable IP addresses.
Serious question, does anyone actually care about immigration law at this point? Because on the surface it doesn't seem to matter if you followed the law exactly or you completely ignored it if you're someone targeted by ICE. They seem to find their target and then work backwards on how to deport them. Is anyone who wouldn't normally be in the sights of an ICE agent getting targeted by some HN comment?
When the cost of failure is high, and the cost of mitigation is low, I think it's reasonable to use throwaways and VPNs whenever you might comment something that might unknowingly increase your risk exposure. Admittedly, this is going to be a pain for forum anti abuse systems.
I'm more so wondering what public data on these sites is really useful for finding/building deportation cases. It looks to me they are wrapping a bunch of scrapers into a product and selling it as "intelligence tools".
Almost nothing is worth the hype but the book is an enjoyable page turner if you like space adventures and speculative science. Audiobook also got some extra attention, I'd go with that if you like audiobooks.
