The full names, addresses and contact information were leaked. Phone books would also go out of date, or you could have yourself unlisted, but you aren’t unlisted on this.

We haven’t had phone books in quite awhile, and those weren’t exactly great for privacy either. Luckily back then, the tools to automate abuse of them weren’t as sophisticated or available as they are now.

Today, peoples information is more private. Especially with cellphone numbers not being listed.

“Which means that people who are, for example, victims of stalking, domestic violence, public figures like myself, activists and politicians will all have their personal information, including their personal home addresses, on that voter file.”

However it happened, I’m miffed that the penalty is too low for leaking millions of peoples information

Elections Alberta said any person who contravenes the rules is guilty of an offence and liable to an administrative penalty of not more than $100,000 or, if convicted by a court, to imprisonment for a term of not more than one year, or to both a fine and imprisonment.

Like, I’m sure that this is more valuable than this to the right company, and someone could just be paid a lot more than that, and be like, i’ll risk up to 1 year in jail for a pay day.

That’s brilliant! Kinda proud of them for doing things like that.

My cars AC fans. No.

Fucking hell. Throw them in jail for doing that.

Fuck everything about that wow.

Ya, that’s probably a good idea.

The idea of building this into our core infrastructure where we give up the ability to control it ourselves is the really fucking scary part.

In the EU for example they are using single use tokens.

If you want to go to a site that requires age verification, you maybe have 10 tokens, and you give them one.

When you run out of tokens, you have to ask the government for more.

That’s a huge risk built into our system now where the government can arbitrarily stop issuing tokens to individuals, or at large, and just lock that content off like a kill switch, and it would be at their discretion.

e.g Government: Oh, your using too many adult tokens… we won’t issue any more until next month!

Or what if something around issuing tokens is taken down in a cyber attack and everyones usage is disrupted.

It’s a governments wet dream to have this level of control built into the infrastructure, no matter what kind of safeguards they claim to have.

The way the grid works now with highly centralized large installations is a weakness in the system itself. A gas peaker plant takes up all that space because it needs it.

Solar arrays do take up a lot of space, and we can’t just put them anywhere.

Moving away from that into more decentralized systems will strengthen the grid overall, and that includes getting solar on our roofs as well, where we have this unused space (edit: and at places like our massive parking lots)

A big battery farm with batteries that take up a lot of space somewhere isn’t bad, but you aren’t just doing that anywhere, but you can likely drop down 4mwh container sized batteries right in the middle of cities at their substations just fine, and that will build resilience. (edit: And in this case, they already own the land, and they often have extra space)

With something like that, you could even cut yourself off from the bigger grid if something goes wrong and still provider power to those connected to the battery for a brief time.

Edit: And ya, I’m sure you could probably drop a smaller one of these in there as well, but if space is confined, you’d want to get the most out of it.

Edit: I found a picture of one up here in Canada, it’s a 8.4mwh flow battery that went live recently. It’s that building (better pics further down). That, vs 2 semi truck containers for 7.8mwh. https://invinity.com/canadas-largest-solar-powered-vanadium-flow-battery-to-be-installed-in-alberta/

How do you have accountability on tech firms and not the parents without the dystopian age verification tools being added everywhere.

Facebook needs a way to verify.

There’s pretty much two options

1. Mandatory age verification in the software/os/requiring things like Persona which is a privacy nightmare. Even privacy focused zero knowledge proof systems embed it into our infrastructure which is a disaster waiting to happen and arent 100% private as governments arent willing to properly and truly make them. (yes I know ZKP systems are in EU but they weren’t designed to be 100% private with absolutely no tracking of anything. They still get some info about how the system is being used)

2. Put the onus on the parents to set up their computers properly so their kids cant access certain content, and put the onus on the parents to choose what their children should see on those devices. Then make social media companies respect those settings if a computer configured with them tries to connect. If a child finds a device that isnt blocked properly, oh well, to bad so sad.

Are we sure he wasnt just trying to use one of those complicated bathrooms?

It would be kind of funny if the sovereign fund does its thing and CPP is like, no thanks, its not suitable for our goals

Im apparently just bad at reading the whole message.

Models can split loads across a discrete GPU and CPU/RAM.

Its not as fast as if you can load it all in the GPU, but it gives you more options. Its been quite common for a long time.

The CPP and QPP have been incredibly successful till now

Hey, CPP, want to grow and handle this other thing?

The mw scale container lithium batteries could fit at most substations for a decentralized storage system without needing much if any new land. These kind of lower density batteries wouldn’t work as well for that. They’d need more land and couldn’t go in as many places.

How to lose votes 101

Can you even do that? The next majority government could just change something via law and then use it as a slush fund?

… my comment aged well apparently although for different reasons.

yikes!

In that case though his argument would be there’s nothing wrong with pedophilia, not I’m not a pedophile.
