Google will ask advertisers [...] to prove they are who they claim to be
I would not be surprised that it would become difficult to get the permit if you are of a party that is not of the current administration.

That sounds very vague.
Just use established, audited tech like PGP and OMEMO, and be upfront about it!
The NY Post article wrote the universe's end "could occur 10x139 years from now" (sic, though where the "x" is supposedly a \times, which still doesn't make sense). At least Slashdot corrected that stupidity.
please change your password RIGHT NOW to f*** + 12 random characters!
I don't understand. "T-Mobile" are not 12 random characters.
The problem with advertisement is that companies have to lie to compete with others. The problem with companies is that they need to make an as large as possible profit, no matter what.
is this task too complex for non-commercial software?
or is it too complex for commercial software?
In any case, commercial and FOSS are not mutually exclusive.
It is surely reasonable to think that if Bitcoin were used as the main (or only) currency, its value would be stable (as things are priced in Bitcoin).
That's why they redacted it!
Nevermind, it is in the article:
When you buy a Disney DVD or Blu-ray disc, it will often come bundled with a special code that can be used at one of two Disney-sponsored websites,
Apparently people don't really own videos anymore.
What does this download code do? Do you need to download something before you can watch a DVD.
Sorry, I do not buy DVD Videos, so I am at a loss here.
If one knows the correct permissions, you could just change them back (via grml or so).
That said, this is bad. It underlines related issues of the apparently bad package management situation we're in. Why can I not install all my software through a good package manager? GNU Guix?
Anyone who values his privacy will uncheck that box...
Well, one could value her privacy to a large extend and at the same time leave the box checked. I think that the data are pseudonymised.
Choose a style or set of rules. Deviate from it when that improves clarity.
More discussion on this is bullshit. No words for the lawsuit.
The universe is fully featured, no missing features. Moreover, if the universe is a universal turing machine, any typical computer should be able to emulate the same fully featured system. Why is it then that Kodi is still not feature complete?!
I agree. Even the CalTech press release uses non-standard units.
The stream of water is an 85-micron-diameter jet blasting from a specially designed nozzle at 9,000 pounds per square inch that strikes the crystal plate with an impact velocity of around 1,000 feet per second. For reference, that's a stream narrower than a human hair moving about as fast as a bullet fired from a handgun.
If they are giving an intuitive comparison after the numbers in any case (which is a good idea for a press release), just stick with both physical sensible and SI units!
Those who can, do; those who can't, write. Those who can't write work for the Bell Labs Record.
