How would not respecting DNT have been proven? The rub here is that everyone wanted to ignore DNT, because it made them lots and lots of money.

DNT was ignored from the time it was implemented. The only way it ever would have been respected if it was required to cryptographically sign an acceptance of cookies, then the server was required to retain that attestation as proof of acce

Cigarettes are fun too. But if you start smoking knowing that they're addictive... The thing that really rubs me wrong is that you're playing a rigged game (literatively and figuratively) when you invest effort into grind games. E

Did you just take a problem that free market tech created and blame it on the government? ;) User agent sovereignty would be nice... except the most used browser and 1/2 of smartphones are controlled by Google, the largest ad trackin

I think there's also an implied point that the key in a substantial codebase is more legally defensible than the key in a codebase that only provides the key . In essence, the entirety of Dolphin's functionality provides legal

That was the realization that turned me off video games. What is any modern, non-boxed sales model videogame selling? Artificial scarcity. And who is in absolute control of that scarcity? The developer. Why addict yourself to something your

I'd argue that the "evils" of modern journalism are more a consequence of economic failures in their employers than journalist themselves. As came out in the Dominion v Fox News discovery, even the most political journalists

I'd question whether insurance companies jacking up prices for purposes of growing headcount was a major trend. In the ACA aftermath, I believe you saw more insurance companies exit markets because they couldn't be competitive and

The US federal government should do the same thing to public universities (US definition) that they did to insurance companies via the ACA -- cap administrative overhead. For every dollar in tuition, >Y% must be spent on qualifying direc

That's good for you, but you are aware there are many, many Microsoft shops? And those people are often forced to use Teams because Microsoft sold to the VP/C*?

The market for Teams isn't personal use: it's enterprise use. In enterprise, managed-device land, options are severely curtailed.

We'll see. Afaik, the Sikorsky bid screwed FLRAA by being insufficiently detailed with their architecture in the proposal. They claimed it would be half the price of the V280. Since the Raider X is based on the same platform, it doesn&

Special forces notoriously rode horses early in the invasion of Afghanistan. Delivering force and logistics to the desired location, in a way you can support, is the end goal. In most of the industrialized world, there are better options. B

The flight hours + HR costs. The key financial advantage of drones is that they don't need money to live after work, health insurance, or a pension plan. It's expensive to ask people to risk their lives for work. And specifically

That's getting into Illuminati territory. Thiel is rich and powerful, but he isn't that rich and powerful. There are more than enough counterbalancing forces. And it starts to be way too thought policy (for me) deciding "Yo

I'd understand if we were dedicating substantial resources to prepping... but we're not. The number of people and amount of treasure spent on it is a rounding error. Let other people have their hobbies.
