Have you ever travelled with a recent plane? They usually have individual monitors you can turn of. And much more recent movies than they used to have to 20 years ago.

You're missing a "1". according to wikipiedia, trains in the US max out at 150mph, in europe closer to 180mph

"Turing Registry" and "Turing Police"

So I can't use Apple pay until by bank supports it?

and how do these $10 compare to your annual credit card fee?

I guess that's why it is the most popular payment method in Europe? Without any hacking problems and neglectible fraud compared to credit cards?

Yes. Compared to magstripes. But is anyone still using them?

OK. Thanks for the clarification.

Why would you decide to use UST-to-Serial chips that need vendor specific drivers in the first place? That's a basic usb profile that should be handled with generic drivers.

Largely reduces such unpleaseant surprises.

So they moved other chips into a PID range that doesn't belong to them?

Which is intresting as this is exactly what they were complaining about. Sort of "it's not illegal if WE do it"...

Like we don't have an agreement or licensing or other kind of contratc that I will NOT burn down your house or otherwise cause damage to you or your property.

But that does NOT give me the right to burn down your house.

We're talking about intentionally damaging a device.

It would be a different matter for unintentional damage after someone uses your product , but even then you have to apply a sensible measure of care to avoid damage through wrong or careless handling. (A warning label is the simplest measure, selling bleach in bottles with a child-proof lock another one)

In related news. DEA to facebook: Who cares?

The same kind of protagonists are performing the same schtick in the US and in Europe.

STEM is called MINT, skill gap is Fachkräftemangel, and H1B is called "blue card" (yes. someone mixed up work permit and permanent residency when looking for a catchy name)

Arguments are the same, debate is the same.

And it becomes slightly absurd when immigration officers at a US border somehow expect every other country but the US to be a 3rd world hole people would be happy to trade in for a McJob in the US of A. They can't even imagine that someone likes their job and their home country and actually WANTS to go home after their visit.

Exactly. And that's what you don't want to turn up if someone does a casual search with your name. On the other hand, he can't expect to have historical facts (like his foreclosure) purged from the historic archives. That was 1984.

And we ALL need to learn that a bankrupcy 20 years ago hardly effects his current financial situation.

Agree.

But still putting that into the hand of one commercial search engine is the wrong way to do so. That "making hard to find" should also start at the source. My suggestion would be to have the newspaper archive use an additional robots.txt/metadata like X-ARCHIVE:True to indicate that this site may be indexed, but contains out of date information that should NOT show up unless someone does a specific archived/cached search request

PRO:
Available to all search engines. You don't have to go to all serach engines to have something hidden from simple searches
Historical information still available and easily searchable - if desired so
Searching uiser knows in advance that he will receive outdated information

CON: ?
