Stop Flock 3 months ago

Lawmakers won't care until it is them and their kids that are being tracked by "hackers". Flock API's are poorly protected and the individual cameras are hackable as shown by Benn Jordan in multiple YouTube videos.

These centralized services do and did solve problems. I'm old enough to remember renting a quarter rack, racking my own server and other infrastructure, and managing all that. That option hasn't gone away, but there are layers of abstraction at work that many people probably haven't and don't want to be exposed to.

You are conflating economic development and social development. Go check out some youtube channels from westerners living in Japan and you'll see that the economic development has had a cost. I don't really know how to define it because it's their society and I can't put my American values on it, but the salaryman thing has a cost. This birthrate issue is probably it. Will Japan eventually collapse because of it?

The article states that the sand in a desert is to "smooth" to properly bind in concrete. So yes, the demand is for sand with characteristics that work in concrete. The article also states that Cambodia has banned exporting sand and also that Singapore recorded record exports from Cambodia. I suspect that large scale corruption is in play.

Rick Beato's series "What makes this song so great" is fun if you want to see/hear theory applied to rock songs. And learn about rock music song construction or rather destruction since he plays the isolated tracks of the instruments and vocals. It isn't theory instruction its theory discussion and straight fandom.
