privacy and expression concerns should be the problems to solve

But the core issue will still remain the competing concepts of privacy and identification. If you need to identify who to a specific person to know their age, then privacy is out the window. There's the third party identifier, but then that third party still knows that John Q Citizen had a request from Naughty Porn provider even if they don't know the exact videos.

So sure, it's a problem. But we also need to accept that some problems can't be solved with current tools.

Comment Re: Making Money Fixing AI Code (Score 1) 78

Interestingly, I find that unit tests is one of the few useful places for AI generated code. Then with the unit test code, test results, and the commit diff are small potatoes to pass as context to get answer on where a regression happened to be able to fix myself.

Writing unit tests afterwards is toil, writing TDD-style before is obnoxious. So happy to hand it off to an LLM and review of the unit test against the code I wrote is it's own form of rubber ducking. Increasing my understanding of the code based rather than outsourcing my knowledge, but reducing the mind numbing effort of writing worthwhile tests.

Either the registrar is then required to play nanny on "valid" communication or people could lose their domains because they don't check spam communication. And that valid communication isn't law enforcement or the courts, because that's the current system.

But don't make me have to check in every month otherwise lose it because some scammer can make a business around stealing domains and holding them hostage. Otherwise the current system of contact the registrar if there is a malicious domain and if there's still issues go to through the law enforcement and the courts. But otherwise past history has shown that giving up that information is more of a problem than keeping our privacy.

Apparently you didn't experience the blessings of owning a domain before WHOIS privacy features. It's not the news reporters and whistle blowers, it's the marketers, scammers, and malcontents.

This would have a huge effect on use of vanity domains for email, blogs, or personal websites, since using your domain will be doxxing yourself. Remember that this is the era of swatting and slow descent of civility online, only Gmail and Medium/Substack otherwise someone will be sending you a crew of angry police or a box of manure to your door for your opinion online.

Left the labor force also means not actively looking for work. So it's more than just the losing a job, but also giving up looking. So people who "lost their job" and also retire, die, become a student, care for family, just become disheartened and give up.

So less about being sickeningly weasel worded, but having a different technical meaning that's a little different than common layperson usage.

At about $200 dollars more than most other ear buds, you're just paying upfront for the features. Different payment model, but Apple didn't get to the market cap that it has today without having people pay more than their share.
