---- suspect this to be entirely dishonest proaganda.

1) They are comparing pre-lockdown levels of traffic- when "working from home" was almost zero, with post-lockdown -- many people continue to work from home, assuming they still have a job. There are massively fewer cars on the road than there were. Less pollution is a good thing, but fewer jobs? not so much. (I am retired).

2) They viciously forced people to sell older cars prematurely rather than allow them to be replaced at the normally time (I never replaced my car, as I could not afford one having only got scrap value for the old one - of course I resent this and feel bloody minded towards thee whole thing. i am not alone). Fewer cars - more poverty.

3) Electric cars because petrol is very, very expensive. We pay about £1.80 per LITRE! (Not Australian pounds - Slashdot still cant get this right!)

4) Global warming means less pollution from household boilers - no firm data on this.

Moral: the research finds what they were paid to find. (A good researcher usually finds more research is needed if he wants to keep his job).

It matters either way. The names divorced from the faces certainly is a smaller attack vector, but the absurd lack of data security is the story here, not the threat analysis.

The fact that this type of event is more or less normalized is the real problem.

Come the nuclear holocaust, this record will be completely smashed.

The yacht's owner cannot relieve the master's responsibility to assist a vessel in distress. If the yacht owner is ashore and a hired captain/master is commanding the yacht, the statutory obligation belongs to the master/person actually in charge. An owner calling the captain and saying, for example, "Don't divert; I'm not paying for the fuel/time" would not erase the master's statutory duty. The master has to make the decision based on the circumstances at sea, including whether rendering assistance would seriously endanger his own vessel or those aboard. (46 U.S.C. 2304)

Of course the entire point is that it is being stored. All of it., "flagged" or not. Imagine being an apologist for this shit.

Holy shit what a bunch of assholes criminals.

Or was this a Linux promotion stunt?

The world is a gruesome place. No: America is a gruesome place.

A lot of places are not like this. However, that means they are "socialist" and America is terrified of anywhere that does not treat poor people like shit!

Thanks for you input, Elon.

As a British English speaker, my biggest hate with human call centres is the cultures where they are not allowed to give a negative answer.

eg Should I try "X" is answere with

THIS IS AN ACTUAL DISSERVICE!

If the answer is "No" and you are not allowed to say it - you are not allowed to do the job! (And should not be given the job).

"Bad" is a very popular standard of service (probably not with customers, but who the hell wants customers, all they do is complain!

... it will force millions of adult internet users to give up their anonymity, privacy, and security before they access lawful speech.

Hopefully doxing the morons that voted for it.

This is the direct consequence of under paying for years.

At last ... Kentucky Fried Data!

have anyone actually measured the values before (requires actual data) and after ?

i.e. water is life start measuring the water pressure and chemistry BEFORE complaining

A machine can tell the difference between one and two underscores. Whether a human can do so is dependent on the human and the font. (And a whole host of factors too numerous to name).

The computer _should_ be taught to flag the double underscore as illegal, and flag this as an error. That is obviously not going to happen, However, the guy who used the double underscore should be jailed for using it for assault of ASCII, regardless of any other crimes he committed!
