It's easier to block users by IP and also make a statement at the same time rather than try and implement this.

If amazon has been this problematic with sharing video with police with ring, imagine what they'll do with the video feeds from delivery drones.

I would absolutely eat this. What's the downside?

SSNs are not a password. Why not issue citizens private keys at birth and a public key registry? And have a robust reset solution for lost or stolen keys?

I've noticed slashdot tends to have progressive stories such as this but then the comment section is mostly full of ignorant trolling posts. Today is the Transgender Day of Remembrance marking over 350 trans people that have been killed worldwide in the past year, and the comments here are about looking like an old guy in drag and tranny retards. I have moderator points right now but would rather say something. When is the older, whiter, more conservative slashdot audience going to come around, in a way that companies like even IBM have?

Telnet with default credentials? It doesn't even log in via SSH. Who cares? Who has boxes like that?

Sites like ifixit have criticized Apple for years for gluing their parts down instead of screwing them in. It seems like they're intentionally making them hazardous to fix.

I don't think it was so much these companies as it was capitalism that incentivized gaming the technology.

Are they going to enable pilots to disable the MCAS from nose diving the plane by pulling up on the yoke too?

As a trans person it feels like my government is trying to erase me. I appreciate these companies doing this and making me feel safer. Also good god these comments, is *everyone* on slashdot anti-trans? Do you know any trans people in person?

This thread is great, the topography and railroads influencing the grid orientations hadn't occurred to me. I did hear that in Boston, the cow paths became sidewalks and then streets, so Boston was perhaps designed by cows. I think the sun is also a factor. Many streets line up with the summer solstice sunset: https://sztanko.github.io/sols... I was saddened to realize that Los Angeles's downtown never lines up with the solstice, but many others do, like in boyle heights. Last solstice I went out and watched one. https://www.instagram.com/p/Bk...

FWIW, I have verizon unlimited and constantly go over 22 GB and don't think I've ever been throttled. I think it depends on how clogged the network is, 22GB is guaranteed.

I'm not arguing against the spirit of these laws, but it's easy to break them without being nefarious. Including google analytics on a site, common practice in the web industry, with the track demographic data checkbox checked is enough to break these laws.
