I don't think this is a good argument. Posting personal information on a public forum is completely different from letting it sit in some database that no human is likely to look at. The latter can be a reasonable trade-off to use a fr

Do the victims ever get their money back after these cryptocurrency hacks/scams? I know crypto transactions are irreversible by nature, but do the coins ever get seized by law enforcement and returned to their owner? If not, that seems

...then they came for you, and you decided to sideload the app and go about your day?

Yeah, it is. Robots.txt is just a way of politely asking people not to crawl your site. It doesn't have anything to do with the law.

I'm confused. Is the judge saying that LinkedIn can't use the law to ban HiQ from scraping their profiles or that they can't implement technology to block scrapers? The former seems reasonable but the latter seems like an unj

This is really good! And I like the dig at 9gag :)

Yeah. I would expect all competitive gaming to have a much heavier mental load than lower-level gaming.

>I think the trash talk was always in this community. This seems true, considering John Gabriel formulated his Greater Internet F*ckwad Theory[0] way back in 2004. But it's not a good thing. Some people just want to play video games

That's overly simplistic. If you know with good certainty that negative discrimination against a group is pervasive and manifests itself in a certain way (say, hiring bias (though I'm not arguing that this is the case in a particu

Not for people who don't drink or would be willing to stop drinking. That has to be a nontrivial market. Why not make it and just put a big warning label on the bottle?

This article makes it sound like WIN 18,446 is a safe and effective male contraceptive and it was abandoned completely just because it has bad interactions with alcohol. Is this actually true? There are lots of drugs on the market that have

Seems like a bad idea. This would also, for example, out tons of LGBT people.

Yeah, those are not numbers that would indicate "rare" for any other medical condition.

If it inspired dozens of similar games and they all used the gg domain, then yeah, it would be reasonable to call those gg games.

They say it might be "removed in future releases." But isn't Windows 10 supposed to be the "last" version of Windows, just perpetually updated? It would be really strange if a system update removed Paint.

Nitpick: Bitcoins can't effectively be mined on anything but specialized ASIC hardware. Not even high-end GPUs. They could theoretically mine other cryptocurrencies, though.

Search engines that don't care about Canada's laws, probably.

This article is pretty silly. - Spotify is primarily for streaming Spotify songs. It shouldn't be inefficient, of course, but you're looking in the wrong place if you just want to play your audio files. - Groove: Windows built-in
