Neither of these systems were designed to be secure software distribution systems, they were designed to be repositories for software development. Idiots decided, "hey, let's also build and distribute software using repositories meant for software development" and it went to shit as they should have expected. It bears repeating, these are not secure software distribution systems. Everyone needs to get a grip and stop pretending that they are and thus stop using them as such.

I'm not about to listen Big Hexagon about evolutionary geometry. Sounds like they already have you on their payroll!

The thing prohibiting them from doing it is that the constitution doesn't grant them that power.

It also doesn't say they can't do it.

Nobody in the entire thread could be arsed to actually read the blog post but not far in they tell you...

Ignoring the fact that price fixing is a federal crime, they seem behave similarly to businessjerks with anti-social personality disorder (psychopaths). Is this really the future people want? It doesn't matter, the actual billionaire psychopaths are certain to be thrilled to have machines that are willing to be patently evil on their behalves.

I'm sorry what? Where in the world is this a rule? You stop behind the white line, but up at it

You misread OP's comment. They're saying people stop a car length or more behind the white line rather than putting the nose of their car on the white line, and could they not do that.

The most sophisticated hacks link together several small vulnerabilities before they ultimately break security. Just because it cannot be exploited on it's own doesn't mean it cannot be used as part of an exploit chain.

If data that you own is not personal property, then what is it?

This is like saying the words on a page are not personal property, but the paper is. No court would agree to that.

Personal property is anything you own or have possesion of, including intangibles such as stock or copyrights, that is not attached to land or fixed to real estate. Data on a phone falls within that definition. The phone is a physical item you own. It's your personal property. The data within the phone is also personal property, though intangible.

If it's on your phone, it's personal property. If you don't think it is, kindly explain who owns it.

If these events occur every 27.5 million years, when was the last one? From that we can anticipate the next one and see what happens.

Since the paper is behind a cookie wall, I can't read it, but I don't see anywhere where the previous event is noted.

So, this fixation you have of liberals' asses, you know there is a support group for you. Personally I find your fixation a bit extreme, but if it is what you need to get through the day, then have at it.

No one knows more about gay sex than a white, Christian male.

I know it's marketing speak, but "influcencer" is just another name for shill. These people are trying to get you to buy something.

Folks who wanna do that have been using gopros for years, theres maybe arguments to be made about a more exact POV vs slightly above or to the side for certain things, but theres still not a whole lot of reasons to use secret spy glasses instead of a superior but more obvious gopro besides secret spy reasons.

Advertising has been on this site for over 20 years now. The only difference is which ads are here, but that's all automated as well. We see slightly fewer mail order bride ads now, which is a likely a good thing, but otherwise its nothing different. There's no reason for a human to screen them.

There are just some people who are too stuck in their ways to ever own an EV.

There are those people who don't want to ask their vehicle for permission before they can drive it. They want to turn the key and go, not be tied to an app or some nebulous company who can disable the vehicle they bought on a whim
