Something people forget is those ads pay for servers and hosting. So I guess everyone here wants to pay to access every site, including slashdot. Great ready for the paywalls! Maybe there will be communal paywalls.

The proposal specifically requires companies to register if they do any one of several things, which includes these gems:

Profiling users based on their personal data collected;
Selling or authorizing others to use users' personal data to provide location-based advertising or targeted advertising; or
Using facial recognition software and other tracking technology.

So.. no more Facebook Ads, or Google Ads, in Colorado? Each individual website would have to register with the State in order to continue running ads on their site (the "authorizing others" bit is what seems to enable that).

Also, the "disseminate intentional disinformation, conspiracy theories, or fake news" part is a clear and undeniable violation of free speech - but I guess taking Unsolved Mysteries, which does disseminate conspiracy theories of UFOs and talks about Area 51, is ok now? Also, since one can't prove religions aren't fake news, and they can't all be correct, does this mean that I can sue religious institutions if they continue to disseminate fake news ("You're saved!", etc..).

Well it goes through a Mac or an Apple device, and people have been doing this for a few years, this isn't the first method that has some spread. As long as you're going through their real hardware, they still made their money, they probably don't care. They won't enable it, but they don't have a financial reason to block it - you still bought Apple hardware.

See in the US most states wonâ(TM)t allow you to have a âoeState IDâ if you have a drivers license, as the DL is your ID if you can drive. Took me some getting used to to understand a separate ID from a drivers license for other countries. I guess that means you have to carry both on you, assuming you drive daily?

Ok, then let me. I want to be able to sideload my own apps I make myself. I want to be able to buy ebooks off Amazon. I want to be able to put icons on my homescreen where *I* want them, not in whatever order Apple deems appropriate. And yes, my daily is an iPhone, but I also have an Android.

So will Starbucks follow other companies then in becoming a take-away only place? Sounds like that’s the only option, since they can’t control their customers and resulting viral spread.

This actually is important to know - did the customers not wear any masks? Given mask culture in Korea, I feel this is unlikely, which means distance played a significant factor as well.

Actually that’s a bad idea - all they have to do is go to a manager, say you admitted you are infected with COVID, and they can call the cops to issue you a citation (as you’re not allowed to be in a store if you are either infected or symptomatic), and bar you from the store permanently. That kind of thing, if other people heard you and took you seriously, can cause a riot.

People these days are freaking out because of this disease, and all it takes is a match to light it on fire. Be very careful with what you say. Hold your coughs in, be compliant in every way until you’re outside or even better, in your car.

Cool - I had it too. You know what - it wasn't that bad. That's because one case doesn't mean everyone has the same situation. Many of us had it and recovered without anything bad enough to warrant seeing the doctor or ER.

Math doesn't support that - it takes up to 2 weeks just to discover if you might have it, and without testing 100% of people you'd have to keep everyone locked up at home for 6 weeks:
- 2 weeks to possibly show symptoms, those people go to the hospital
- additionally another 4 weeks AFTER that for those people that are asymptomatic and don't show anything.

So does everyone have 6 weeks worth of food, water, etc. at their house, and don't need to leave their houses for work, pay bills? Hope your power doesn't go out - those people can't leave their houses either to fix it or they've just undone the whole idea of locking everyone down to stop infections. As soon as you let people out of their houses, they could be virus-laden killers walking silently among us.

Then work! When you work at a place you do what they pay you, not to surf porn or watch YouTube all day! Work hard and your boss has no reason to watch over you. Theyâ(TM)re not your babysitter, they pay you to do something they want. Itâ(TM)s a little thing some call capitalism.

And yet carriers deny ports all the time for the littlest of issues, like the name having a slight misspelling, or the address doesn't match, or the bill didn't have the right total on it. I see these all the time at work, and it's annoying as anything.

Hahaha. Wow... really? you know that WSL comes with full, real distros, like Ubuntu, right? Cygwin still doesn't have a command line way to install packages. No apt-get install anything, or (ugh) rpm -ivh some.rpm. Updates are non-trivial, you have to use a GUI, instead of just do-release-upgrade (or whatever Suse/Redhat/etc. use). Give me WSL any day of the week over Cygwin.

Just because the recommendations were "in flux" doesn't magically absolve potential liability. You are not a US criminal lawyer. And reasonable effort is decided by a judge and/or jury - not a CEO, a lawyer, or the public, unwashed masses of social media. And it can be decided many years after the fact, since the law is now on the books. The fact that you don't know, for sure, exactly HOW to follow it doesn't mean you're absolved from needing to follow it anyways.

The hell I donâ(TM)t own it. I paid good money for my device. My insurance is crap, so I had to pay for everything- the at home testing, the device, masks, hoses. I own it, and I can do what I want with it, including decrypting the data so I can use it myself. They can go fork themselves.
