Not just making money, but making more money than they did last year, forever. Like a company can't just be cool with the fact that they serve a profitable market niche and gainfully employ people. Investors need capital gains and won&

The one time I got pulled over, the officer took my license and reg to run a check, I'm not sure I would want them handling my phone. I'll stick to the card.

The defendant in question is a French citizen, being arrested in France, so if I were similarly situated I would expect to follow French law at a minimum. My answer wasn't intended to be dismissive, truly, the answer will be specific t

If you are a multi-national with a legal presence in that country you likely have the resources to engage local counsel in answering that question and to assist in understanding the legal risks of various business decisions.

It's important to note that he has only just been arrested, so there will be a case laid out, a defense offered, facts tried, and ultimately a conviction or not. I don't find a lot of sense in speculating about why or why it didn&

I think there are two parts to this: 1) On the technical side, Telegram groups operate more like a bulletin board, content is posted and can be fetched over and over again, a bulletin board owner can be compelled to remove material and if n

As I hinted at earlier Signal does not have this issue because generally they are not aware of the underlying content. Even if Signal becomes aware of said content, it likely isn't hosted on their servers anymore as their store and for

He appears to be a French citizen, so who else should be doing the arresting?

A lot of really terrible takes in this comment section. Telegram didn't have encrypted groups by default, and telegram possessed a lot of content on their servers that they had been made aware was illegal and didn't cooperate. Not

You said you don't want the ability to do chargebacks, but chargebacks solve two different problems: 1) origination fraud (i.e. someone not you originates a transaction from your account) and 2) merchant fraud (i.e. goods not as descri

I think the issue here is who is paying the fee and where is the fee surfaced. A free market solution would work here, but it requires some regulating to create the transparency required. Everyone pays their own credit card fee as a line it

Hot take: maybe that is actually desirable? If insurance has a plethora of good actuarial information and risk modeling, and one's insurance costs are high, that's the market telling that person that they probably shouldn't

Could dust off DANE here, the connection probably already included a DNS lookup, why not get the public key info from the same.

Java had a pretty comprehensive rewrite of it's own time handling library and it was much needed. Time is hard because time zones are not engineering they are political and arbitrary. So yeah keeping things in Unix time is great if all

This is what I do for my own network, but with DNS instead of a website. I have a cron job that reads a DNS A/AAAA record every 5 minutes or so, and updates an ipset referred to by an iptable (now nftable) rule. So I log in to my DNS p

The AGPL also turns what was distribution license (GPLv3) in to a EULA which kind of contradicts freedom zero of the GNU philosophy.

I haven't been in the java ecosystem in a while, but when I was using Maven you could just download the portable version and run it, and towards the tail end you could just include a simple mvn build shim that would pull down the corre

That aimbot would be significantly harder to implement than current ones though, the good aimbots are not generally scanning the framebuffer for heads to click, they are using the game data directly. If they do use frame scanning, it's

ULAs are generally static, almost all IPv6 unicast addresses are static though sometimes you may have "temporary" addresses via privacy extensions on hosts, those should only be for egress traffic out to the internet, intra-lan tr

Unicast IPv6 addresses are required to have a 64 bit interface identifier and a 64 bit network identifier (e.g. /64), handing out subnets lower than /64 is not spec compliant. Network operators can do crazy things, but if you colo

I agree with this take, the law is clearly exempting stuff like slipping a small bribe to the maître d' to get a seat at a booked restaurant for instance.

No app I've ever deployed does passthrough authz to the filesystem, the app itself runs as in the context of a particular user and manipulates files as it's own principal which is basically the same as what happens with databases.

I think guardrails should also be in this discussion (and indeed the article does address this). Many places have guardrails installed behind the sidewalk instead of in front of the sidewalk. Like if we are going to have guardrails anyway t

I've seen IPv6 deployments where internal names use ULA addresses for tracking/monitoring purposes, but outbound traffic SLAAC is used by hosts since having multiple IPv6 address per an interface is somewhat normal.

My main problem with google fi is that I also use gmail heavily, and if the algorithm decides to cut me off one day for some reason, I don't want to lose access to my primary phone number and primary email address at the same time.
