I'm not sure "Chesterton's Fence" is an applicable fable/analogy when the fence has a big sign on it explaining exactly why it's there, and if you stop to look at it for a minute someone will come along and explain in great detail, answer all of your questions, and provide copious citations to the last several hundred years of public health and virology.
There's a certain amount of censorship of classified information published by (ex-)military, and that kind of thing, but it can be and is challenged in court.
Purely obscene material is also not protected by the 1st, but since the 1970s, the bar for that has been placed very, very high.
The closest I can think of offhand is that for about a year during the pandemic, Twitter suppressed gratuitous COVID misinformation posts, at the request of the government.
Is Mein Kampf banned? It's currently in print and available from your friendly bookseller, in multiple editions spanning a couple translations and the original German. Of the two public library systems that cover my area, one has it (12 holds on 4 copies) and the other doesn't but does have other books by Hitler. I expect it's assigned reading in poli-sci classes.
LEO is crowded enough (mostly with Starlink) that satellites have to actively maneuver to avoid collisions [1]. There's research [2] arguing that we're probably already in runaway territory in some orbits — that is, debris from 1 collision likely produces more than one secondary collision — we're just way over on the left of the hockey stick curve. A bit of bad luck, or two megaconstellations that don't perfectly coordinate their operations with each other, could move us to the right pretty quickly.
As I understand it, Z-Wave is substantially more closed/proprietary. Both Thread and Zigbee are protocols that run on top of 802.15.4, which Espressif already has in other products.
There are a bunch of methods for transforming a hash into something that's easier to compare. You've probably already seen the RandomArt thing that openssh uses for comparing host keys on first use. Some apps produce a sequence of emoji for fingerprint comparison. It's a small but fertile little research niche.
I can't offhand think of anything that an LLM image generator would do to improve the process; it'd be an interesting research task. You'd need a way to transform the 256-bit hash into LLM input in a way that would maximize the perceptual difference in generated images. The problem is that it's absolutely critical that two different implementations work the same, which means the spec would need to specify the exact set of model weights to use.
I'm pretty curious what Slate's telematics/privacy story will be like. No way to tell until they start shipping, I guess. It's pretty cheap to add a cell modem, so I don't think it's safe to assume that a "bare bones" car necessarily won't have spyware.
What that means is that Waymo is intentionally choosing illegal behavior, at a corporate level. Uber/Lyft are merely turning a blind eye to the illegal behavior of their employees... er, "contractors".
Heh.
