Who were they catering to?
Not me. With that type of cash I can go for like a 6 months long vacation.
I really wanted to go but not gonna pay the amount they wanted.

If it had been priced more accessible and roi looked at from a long view. It could hqvw done well.

Insurance. Heard of it?

She doesn't have to endorse or allow her likeness to be used. She's obviously going to protect her brand.

Agree. It is a tool. People are attributing things to it that, it simply isn't. That a computer scientist proposed this is kinda embarassing.
No mod points, post instead.

Digitally speaking I would say that your data is an extension of your person. You should decide IF you want to share data and what your compensation should be in a competitive market.
I use Brave browser because of the ideal it represents. I have my qualms but do make money on it and can not opt in to ads in the first place. Takes care of most trackers.
There is also the ownership issue. My computer is my domain. If you are not invited, then don't pull a breaking and entering to steal from me. Such brokers are a huge security risk. There is no such thing as completely anonymous data. Not to mention the risk of brokers being hijacked or breeched.
I support this bill and feel liberty requires more in reality.
Just because it is digital and our reps are sorely under qualified in most cases to apply simple laws that we apply IRL.

The sell a tightly bound Ecosphere. They need one because it is trendy now and prolly going to enhance productivety. They are kinda the fashion accesory of computing.

Are they allowed electronic device?
How about electronic devices running any sort of wifi?
These are testing centers and classrooms correct?

If this were gonna be a future issue.
I would think folks getting caught with wikipedia etc would be an epidemic.

Also shields Crime Agencies (aptly refered to) from perpetuating crime and/or committing crimes.
Various tech can be repurposed as a tool for criminals. Hammers dont have to be used for nails etc.

Why is the "think of the children" angle assualting my right to free association, privacy, security against id theft, fraud etc?

I Have yet to see meta data on the dark web be a major factor in busting such criminals. Seems more important for govs to wage war against their populace if not the info selling corps.

So like IMGUR has nudie pics and no one spammed my email with it?
This generation has clearly failed us.

Producing something similar doesn't mean that is how the other image was produced.
I read this yesterday not even relevant, pretty empty of any relevance, except that of a conspiracy wingnut.

The just hold your crypto not dollars unless you deposit dollars to buy crypto. You sell crypto to another person for dollars and withdraw those funds.
From the comments it seems folks are misunderstamding what happens.
If no one wants your crypto no dollars you keep crypto.

Unless there is a better way to prove it and take some action. It isn't worth any money. It is basically a hunch, not enough cause to justify it's conclusion.

FTFA: "I have worked for decades to make it possible to write better, safer, and more efficient C++"

Well there you go.

If they arent the seller or ship it. You chances of a refund get slimmer.

If you got a low UID you already got suckered.
