In some situations: Rewrite it silently

Mine goes to 11

Why couldn't they just whitelist the most critical, known-legit, certs instead?

It is not unreasonable at all. People perform better at IQ tests if they are offered a financial reward for instance.

Really? Anecdotic proof on my slashdot? Surely it is not the existence, but the prevalence of the phenomenon that is interesting

Your points are irrelevant and your anti-intellectualism unappealing

Becau.... I see what you did there!

It is important to take a stance on issues like this, because if companies didn't get bad press and less sales when they are up to no good, they have no incentive not to. The policies on games you don't play will soon come to games you do

Exactly what do you even mean when you say blame? Should she pay damages to her self? In order for the situation to become interesting, we have to have someone who can blame her for something.

I would say that the robber is 100% to blame, and she is 10% to blame. "Blaming people for taking risks is a convenience, not a respectable moral standpoint - we all take risks." The issue is not whether people take risks or not, it is how big those risks are.

It is possible that the death of your dog affects your life more than the death of 10k random people you never knew, even IRL. Ever thought about that?

The conspiracy goes deeper than I thought!

Or maybe, they WANTED exactly this to happen. They come out looking good to the people they want to sell to.

It'sn't impossible that it did help. Since names contain information about gender, class and race it could definitely influence this kind of decision.

In all seriousness, the world knows how to deal with serial killers, but would be stumped by parallel ones

Imagine a logic bomb, or rootkit which one morning, during rush hour, causes everyone to accelereate to top speed, and steers randomly. Entire productive population of a country wiped out just like that. It would take decades for that country to recover
