This is currently uncharted territory. Currently, you can get banned by exchanges if your account has any interaction with mixers like tornado. There's no precedent in regards to how the government views accounts tainted by attacks lik

Yes. Ethereum does not have coin control[1] which means that your entire ETH balance is inextricably commingled in a dusting attack, whether you like it or not. That's different from Bitcoin, on which you can choose to not spend tainte

How do you folks think about the fact that sites provide privileged access to Google’s crawler but routinely restrict access/paywall the same content to a normal user? Among chronic offenders are LinkedIn Pinterest, Instagram, various

This is a clear example of penny-wise but pound-foolish. At no point in a product's lifetime does should machine learning obviate the need for good taste.

The best part of YouTube recommendations - side bar recommendations - have been broken for at least 7-9 years. I remember going on deep YouTube rabbit holes in another era, because their recommendations always pointed to new, highly related

*While the social engineering concern is a valid one, I suspect that Google's original reasons for not providing support were not opsec related. Google's 2FA system combined with their lack of support terrifies me as a security-li

There's no censorship/prohibition of content going on, unless you consider opt-ins censorship. I do not. I'm curious about how you feel about Google Image's SafeSearch being turned on by default. Is it also worthy of suc
