But now imagine you lived in place without such strong renter protections. Most of America doesn’t have rules like that.

> No wireless technology has been a bigger flop than 5G when comparing the hype to the eventual reality. Well that’s obviously not true. I was at the launch event for WiMAX which had huge hype and now you’ve probably never heard of it.

Doesn't the Android process still involving tapping 7 times in a row on the build number in the About Device screen? There's definitely ways to create a feature that can't be found accidentally.

I agree that seems presumptive. But of course twitter conveniently didn’t share the source code for how that factor is calculated. Turns out it’s hard to evaluate a big complex distributed system by looking at just one slice and no data.

If the Firefox version is more than a year old, it’s a bot.

It's very rare that I need to know about what the weather was like a few hours in the past.

You don't need to make complicated special rules for going after police. You just need to remove some of the existing special rules that protect them. If you can sue a doctor for malpractice you should be able to sue a police officer t

Posting a question on a forum that looks human enough to get replies doesn't sound like a challenging problem. There were chat bots hooked up to IRC decades ago that fooled people. Am I missing something?

Passive voice in a headline is always a red flag. His role "was scrutinized" by..."journalists and critics." That's true, but it's not news.

If the site ever gets popular expect to get blocked by publishers and/or to receive legal threats. Big publishers really don't like people republishing content without a license.

And they'll probably get 90%+ back eventually. The bank's money isn't gone it just isn't liquid.

Uh yeah that absolutely can happen. Car rental companies are known to ban people who do chargebacks. If you refuse to pay a business what they think you owe then there’s a decent chance they won’t want future business from you.

Who is banning words? I feel like people are deliberately misunderstanding what a style guide is.

I'm with management on that one. Big inconvenience to employees and no chance it would have prevented this attacker.

I don't think that is correct. Section 230 is a very short section of law, you can read it yourself: https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/47/230 In any event, it was just an example. Feel free to subs

The comments too? Everything in a moderation queue and potentially serious penalties for getting it wrong? I'm pretty sure you would notice. And would the developer of a Mastodon client be personally liable if their algorithm recommend
