No, it makes you a drug dealer. "The first hit is free, try it out, no strings attached, honest!".
The fact one even has to consider how to 'take their data with them' (export APIs) means there is a lock-in for non-technical users.
My phone's microSD card doesn't require a vendor-specific API. When it gets near to full, I either decide to pop it out and stick it in a drawer and label it for later use, replacing with a new one, or back it up to a local drive and wipe it to use again (which TBH has its own set of problems for non-tech users...)
Exporting and *actually using* Google drive data is well beyond the skills of most non-technical users, sadly. Blame Google, or the users; it doesn't matter. Data storage management is not easy but cloud/smartphone providers have intentionally made it even harder.
If buying and simply holding a stock can break the market, then the market was already broken.
.. paste 2 minutes of Bob & Doug to the end of every vid, problem solved! It worked for SCTV, eh?
This. No one can trust an exchange that doesn't enforce its rules fairly. It shouldn't matter who is margin called, little guy or billionaire friend of the brokers. Pay up, you lost your bet.
Heads should roll for backing out those legitimate trades.
neocities.org ? gemini project? I dunno. People should go back to making their own little web spaces.
Stick a fork in JS already, it's an abomination with so many bandaids on top it's silly.
Once upon a time, the SRC the <script> tag if I recall had a TYPE= attribute -- just *use* it to specify one of many languages so people can use what they want.
Make a standard plugin interface to compile the desired language to WebAssembly, freeze the DOM/HTML/plugin/CSS/blah blah standards and stop the insanity.
Better yet, as others have said, ditch this entirely and go back to CGI and minimal web browsers. Oh but that would kill the ad/tracking industry. Boo hoo.
THANK YOU! Finally, someone else who understood how offensive it was to make Phelps the bad guy in the reboot... did no one else understand how this poisoned the entire reboot franchise from the start?
Human drivers should not be legally accountable for road safety in the era of autonomous cars, a report says.
In these cars, the driver should be redefined as a "user-in-charge", with very different legal responsibilities, according to the law commissions for England and Wales, and Scotland.
If anything goes wrong, the company behind the driving system would be responsible, rather than the driver.
And a new regime should define whether a vehicle qualifies as self-driving.
In the inteim, carmakers must be extremely clear about the difference between self-drive and driver-assist features.
There should be no sliding scale of driverless capabilities — a car is either autonomous or not.
And if any sort of monitoring is required — in extreme weather conditions, for example — it should not be considered autonomous and current driving rules should apply.
At this point, if one is paranoid about untrusted layers below the OS, it would be best to use something that isn't Intel/AMD or even any of the larger ARM family, with a simple dedicated, wired USB or even RS-232 interface (ideally an old VT220 terminal or something -- remember to shield properly against TEMPEST attacks).
A Raspberry Pi Pico has no Broadcom or other vendor subsidiary blobs in it, so one could run a bare-metal or simple RTOS that takes input, encrypts using modern strong standards, and spits out the ciphertext. Plaintext never leaves the secure keyboard micro channel.
Store the ciphertext as a file on a USB filesystem presented from the device like a USB key so you can plug it into your un-secure commodity PC afterwards to send.
Honestly it'd be easier just buy an old C64, Atari or Amiga and use that for any secure storage (with modern encryption for files). Keep an old USB floppy drive for interchange with modern systems.
Of course, if you feel you have to go even this far to secure your comms, you're probably under one or more of the Five Eyes, so you have bigger problems.
Always leave room to add an explanation if it doesn't work out.
