With their constant march to the right, it is plainly apparent that the Democrats have no ideological convictions whatsoever. They simply shapeshift to match whatever position will fill their pockets with as much donor cash as possible, then act surprised when nobody actually votes for them.
It’s a shame the outage didn’t take MSN down with it.
What do you mean where? It’s literally in the name.
Because a shit ton of fraudulent science hasn’t come out of the US or Europe. Nope. No sir.
Sure, it’s not a bad thing and it should be standard practice, but to act like encrypted traffic guarantees privacy is silly.
If you are implying that a government wants your data, they can just buy it or request it from the company directly. They don’t have to snoop to get it. Also SSL isn’t going to stop them.
The fact that anyone thinks they have any semblance of privacy when typing into an online AI chatbot is saddening.
Of course anything you type into a externally hosted AI is going to be harvested and sold.
But sure, in this case you are also potentially exposing your queries to your ISP or someone listening on your local network too.
Enterprise adopted 100GbE networking around 2019. You can now buy used network cards for around $100 each.
This is dumb.
Even if you encrypt network traffic, the receiving server still knows what you’re doing. All it does is prevent third parties from snooping.
Usually.
Believe it or not, some people are capable of acknowledging more than one news story per week.
They will be fined and nothing will change. Bonus points if the final fine paid is lower than their $2.5 billion settlement offer.
Sure, but “effectiveness” is usually not a binary and is often difficult to measure. Small, but persistent changes should still add up. Eventually.
So long as people recognize that these things are in fact quite toothless, I’m not sure they are entirely detrimental. There’s no reason this couldn’t be used as a starting point for more effective action, now that signatories are in greater contact with the campaign.
I don’t know.
I still think there’s at least some value, even if the only thing it accomplishes is getting people to talk about it. Many people have never even heard of The Internet Archive.
Either way, there isn’t really a reason not to.
Sure, but it is still better than doing nothing.
OK, so replace his photo with any congressperson if you insist on being so pedantic.
The point is the absurdity of american government, which Biden as the president, is a symbol of.
When advantageous, most republicans would also claim that the US respects international law, then turn around and pass a vote like this.
EDIT: about a third of house dems supported the bill
That’s fair.
Is it not tax evasion/fraud? In the US, either can bring criminal charges. For a smaller municipality, is there no assistance available from higher government?
It’s both.
An example of bad urban planning is low density urban sprawl, which requires lots of resources for few housing units.
Less housing, price go up. High build cost, price go up.
Blaming AirBnB for high housing prices is like setting up a chain of dominos, and criticizing a guy who comes by and knocks it over.
Yeah, and that’s exactly what they chose to do. They contributed to the reasons John Public can’t afford housing, and were rewarded massively for it.
If it wasn’t him, it would have been someone else, or the wind.
Yeah, anyone can rob a bank with poor security, but we should still punish the guy who actually robs the bank.
Civilized countries have already figured this out.
