Usually the responsibility falls on the individual to not reveal their true name, though. Once known no-one gets to litigate knowledge of it. Usually one must change their identity so much that their true name changes as well, or forever be

Click-bait works, sad as it may be…

Exactly. I essentially think we need an amendment to the constitution that protects an individual’s right to not be solicited . What law would stop Google and Facebook in their tracks is more the question we need to answer. Data collection

To be honest, personally I’d argue for a stronger stance: the right to not be solicited . I think all advertising is poisonous and insidious and leads to the things you describe, not just targeted behavioral profiling. So I’d say the mis

Note that the GGP is arguing a stronger stance: that no amount of consent makes this okay. You’re saying “it’s okay with consent”. You’re taking a weaker stance, one which I don’t necessarily disagree with, but that’s besides the point.

Let’s play devils advocate for a moment: Why should I be able to control what someone else knows about me? Seriously? If you sit in a park bench and watch me running around on a hot day I can’t compel you to “forget I was there”. And if y

I hate shell infection because 1) it only works in the shell, 2) it’s not stateless, and 3) depends on your working directory. I mean there’s a reason it’s called “shell infection ”. Sounds like Rye specifically aims to address that issue.

You really shouldn’t, though. If you use a dependency manager for some deps you should use it for all deps. Using a global/system cache would be great if dependencies were versioned and each script could specify which version is needed

As someone new to using Python professionally after having used it here and there over the course of 15+ years, I’ve run into exactly this problem. It’s pretty standard for a language these days to bundle the dependency manager and build to

Without context this could be interpreted as patronizing (or worse). You’re talking about their small budget, right?

Not dissenting generally, just want to point out that the author is wrong about the file permissions dialog thing: > This is the most complicated and brittle way to implement this. It’s also not at all how other sandboxed platforms work.

These are entirely solvable problems, at least. Just sounds like the UX isn’t there yet.

It doesn't even make sense anyway. If the cacheable content was encrypted with a per-device key it wouldn’t be cacheable, obviously.

To be honest I feel like biometric app unlock has largely made the need for the short tokens banking experience obsolete. I don’t want to change my credential ever 15 minutes, I just want my bank app to verify my biometrics on sensitive ope

use extra new lines liberally (when in doubt, add a newline) is good working advice

You might be overestimating the type of change required to break source compatibility. A benign example is adding a keyword. Let's say you want to add a new language feature and the community unarguably wants the feature and the right

Swift shipped source-breaking updates earlier in its lifetime. I honestly don't really know of a story where a source-incompatible update killed a language. People grumble, then they move on.

Which is exactly what Swift did when it shipped early source-incompatible revisions.

I think if you'd ask any Python programmer today, they'd say Python is very much healthy and the community has successfully transitioned.

Your comment is slightly self-contradictory. First you say it's really important to prosecute all crime because justice is about the response to crime. Then you say it's silly to be worried that a bunch of "small crime"

I don’t really think your comment is a fair take. While it very well may be “actually what happened”, there are a lot of other reasons to hire from and foster your community rather than try to compete with them. It’s possible Headscale just

I think a lot of people try to do identity things without understanding the fundamental nature of the problem they're attacking. For instance: I'm really really worried that governments are going to default into an understanding o

So the "probable cause" is that SBF is meeting with journalists and sharing evidence that might bring into question the credibility of the prosecution's star witness? Hmm I thought witness tampering was more serious like tryi

Not if browsers actually limit access to that data needed to do so.

Browsers don’t do that today and the result is that AD networks fingerprint and track you to try and serve you more relevant content. The argument from supporters is that this is a step away from the “fingerprint and track” status quo MO. T

But they are doing it and succeeding. No product is 100% perfect. The problem is that when it’s not perfect people can ostensibly (and arguably actually) be harmed if they can’t access content on the Cloudflare network. This is why we need

I thought it was the opposite: that instead of fingerprinting users, web services would instead just ask the browser which topics the user is interested in and display the relevant ADs. It's an explicit design goal to reduce the depend

Of course I'd agree that if a robot is following the rules and behaving indistinguishably from a human but maybe just a little more quickly, then it shouldn't be pre-judged (and our detection should accommodate). But here we'
