> And, in that case, why add a new law versus just adding to the CCPA?
It is an amendment to the CCPA. Websites covered by the CCPA are required by law to honor the opt-out, and browsers are required to implement it.
I've never seen a cookie banner ask for consent to collect and store my IP address. If that is their reason, they completely failed to obtain consent in a manner that meets the law.
The reason for the banners are simple - a court case ruled that cookies are covered by GDRP, but they haven't explicitly ruled on other tracking mechanisms. So ad companies pushed the minimum and most annoying method of conforming with that ruling without changing their practices, and continue to ignore the fact that all the other tracking they are doing without consent is blatantly illegal.
The Switch 2 pricing was announced well after Trump was elected, and undoubtedly included *some* additional markup for tariff increases from the get go, since he had been talking about tariffs the whole campaign, even if it has been a continual game of roulette trying to predict the *exact* tariffs. So it makes sense that the Switch 1 prices would be more sensitive to the tariffs than the Switch 2.

Anyone building or planning anything intended to last more than a month while being based on or dependent on Google products or services has no place in any industry.
You mean the JFK documents that were released containing hundreds of social security numbers of federal employees? Not exactly a glowing recommendation.
I, for one, have every basketball and football (and yes, hand-egg too) game I ever intend to watch saved on this 5.25 inch floppy disk.
Why, yes, it is still sealed mint-in-envelope. Why do you ask?
Piracy isn't the problem. Piracy is the response.
The problem is corporate theft of public matters and material.
In what rational world are major sporting events a locked down massively expensive to even view scarcity?
The actual news here is Trump's obvious lying power grab. "This is a concerted effort by other Nations and, therefore, a National Security threat".
Other countries, or citizens of other countries doing business with private American citizens without paying off the rancid mango is about to be a "National Security Threat" with the precedent he's attempting to set here.
Meaning the entire American Government and alleged justice system will look the other way when Trump throws a tantrum regarding thos individuals or their country.
Wow, you really can't even continue reading once sentence after the one that triggers you.
Everything you said is true for an individual, but misses the point the parent was making regarding the total number of charging stations needed.
If an EV needs to charge 20 minutes every 200 miles, and an ICE vehicle needs to pump gas for 5 minutes every 200 miles, then you will need 4 times the number of public level 3 chargers as gas pumps to serve the same number of cars. In fact if roadtripping EVs are mostly charging at normal meal breaks, then you will need even more chargers, since use will be more clustered compared to gas stops.
On the flip side, the public chargers will only be used by people on road trips or who don't have a home charger which will decrease their volume. Still I would expect you to need more chargers than gas pumps along highways, and fewer in the middle of cities.
They wrote this software for free, and they gave you for free security updates that don't require accepting any new features. They even went out of their way to continue putting out security releases (ESR 115.13) for operating systems that Microsoft and Apple don't even support anymore. And they did this all six months in advance so you would have plenty of time to upgrade.
But enjoy your freedom to run old unpatched software.
In many ways I like the Lyttle Lytton contest even more. There were some very good Bulwer-Lytton entries, but it could also devolve into who could write the longest run-on sentence. Having a short word limit forced authors to really distill their horribleness.
If you take a book, reproduce it exactly, and add commentary at the end, the resulting work is a derivative work and you need permission of the original copyright holder to distribute it. FSF has only granted permission to use the AGPL exactly as it is with no modification or additions, so Neo4j had no permission to use their modified version of the AGPL, and doing so was violating FSF's copyright.
The Fed wants to keep the details secret and vary them frequently so the banks aren't over optimizing to the test. This makes senset, for example with standardized crash testing it is common for cars to perform great on the exact crash scenario tested for, but poorly on off-nominal crash scenarios that occur in the real world.
On the other hand, secret laws and regulations are antithesis to free society because how can you justly expect anyone to follow rules when you won't tell them what the rules are. And since the banks are required to modify their behavior if they fail these tests, then the tests are effectively regulations.
A fair solution would be to have the test published ahead of time, but still change frequently adapting to what the Fed perceives as gaming of the test. The problem is that going through the normal regulation process with comment periods and such takes a good two years at least, and the Fed would like to move faster than that.
I really wanted cryptocurrency to work out. There is such a need for digital cash that lets people pay for things online without credit card companies charging exorbitant processing fees and then on top of that tracking every transaction and selling your purchase history to anyone willing pay. In addition to making existing purchases better, I thought cryptocurrency had a chance of becoming Clay Shirky's micropayments, enabling business models that can't exist now. Reading about far away lands (SV) where there were actually bitcoin ATMs in bars, it sounded like the future was almost on us.
Instead it turned out worse than credit cards or even paypal in every way. Your purchase history isn't anonymous. It is at best pseudonymous but easily traceable if you use it as widely as you you would a credit card, and thus effectively public unless you go to great lengths to obscure it. Processing fees are higher than credit cards. And it requires insane resources to operate that would make the most inefficient monopolist bureaucracy blush in embarrassment. It is completely useless as a normal day-to-day currency.
Then to make matters worse, it attracted a huge number of grifters, conmen, speculators, and criminals who are its only real users.
Etherium is at least trying to work towards being useful as a day-to-day payment method. It has been slow progress, and I don't know if they will ever get there, but at least there is some progress. Bitcoin though is failed experiment. It had it's run, and it is time to put it down.
Gravity is a myth, the Earth sucks.
