The article is suggesting the solution is to shift the conversation to data ownership from privacy controls. Are you bucketing data ownership in with privacy controls and dissenting, or just making a tangential comment?

Sure, if you want to fade into history as an ultimately irrelevant ad network that simply had the novel ideal of tying ads into internet search early on in the internet’s youth and became popular and rich for a decade, then take this stance

I mean I’d even argue that Google domains is important in terms of making the product a seamless experience when using GCP (and generally just carving out Google as being part fundamental internet infrastructure). I wouldn’t underestimate

Homekit tried to do this. I don’t know if they still do. This can be done today by only advertising a ULA v6 prefix to IoT devices. The problem is the router has to now have global knowledge of what devices are allowed to talk to what servi

For me yes. A lot of my professional communities use Discord. It seems like a pretty even split so I find myself using both and preferring Discord.

Have you considered a community Discord?

Using a common carrier for business is different from purchasing reserved quotas from them and then reselling the access. I can see how it isn’t clear when taken to the extreme, but there’s got to be some balance otherwise a carrier could j

Just curious, why would you swap out a live link unless it is malicious or disingenuously reposting content from another source? Isn’t there value in a diversity of information sources and/or narrative dialog etc., even if sometimes so

I don’t see a functional difference, do you? In other words, if I have been granted conditional protected exclusive ownership of physical fiber lines and that requires me to be a common carrier, I can launder the common carrier responsibili

I see ye ol’ “but HE is a private company they can do what they want” argument surfacing again. Something that is easily missed: internet providers benefit from government protected monopolies because you can’t just dig up cities and lay ca

Yeah, this is where things are so immature . Where language has been twisted into “silence is violence”. People that think this way either have an intense moral agenda and they’re intolerant of real diversity, or they can’t actually mental

I’m literally telling you I’m arguing in good faith because this intrigues me. Some day you’ll cool off and have a more level head about you. Then we can continue the conversation.

I have, in fact. Probable cause is what police need to have in order for a judge to issue a warrant.

by dcow 3y ago
I’m not outraged at all. I’m simply wondering. You analogy isn’t accurate. The bot net wasn’t burning down or bricking machines. It was leeching bandwidth and cpu cycles. So a more apt analogy might be animal control sniping bunnies off you

Do you have a citation for that? AFAIU breaking down the door is only allowed with a knock-less warrant, in which case it’s not a mistake. > An aggrieved citizen might also have a claim for civil liability against the officer or the law

Two questions: 1. if someone installed Qakbot willingly, does the warrant apply (the warrant has what looks to me like specific language limiting it to unaware victim’s machines)? 2. if the FBI’s justice.exe damaged data on a victim machine
953.
by dcow 3y ago
And the big question is what if your machine is configure in a way that is incompatible with the FBI’s justice.exe and you lose irreplaceable data?

I have very little skin in the game and certainly haven't dabbled in the NFT world. And I “don’t like” the idea that a regulator can essentially leverage ambiguous language to prosecute after the fact just to leave innovators on their

(meta) I’m getting tired of seeing paywalled content on HN. I wonder if we could tag links as such and have an option to hide paywalled links. Or just outright ban them.

Not trying to kill the vibe of your comment, I just want to point out that the burden of proof historically has fallen on the accuser, the regulator, the plaintiff, (point is: not the defendant,) to prove that some behavior is illegal and

I actually really like this construction/framing. I’ve been wondering for awhile how we claw out of this state where voting is a right not a privilege. You can’t discriminate on anything close to a protected class for obvious reasons,

You can live and let live while also politely pointing out that the title is annoying and cumbersome in its current form, and consequently against the guidelines.
