That's a great idea! I'd be totally up for prosecuting anyone running a Ethereum node used for laundering money too. At this point they really have no excuse; they know what they're doing is illegal, and are still continuing

Spotify doesn't shut down because they're primarily providing a legitimate service to legitimate people. The money laundering traffic there has to be absolutely miniscule compared to the legitimate traffic. It makes basically no s

If you make a system that by design can't meet the legal requirements for preventing money laundering, that's not actually a good defense. It's the opposite.

That's a much smaller claim, proto3 schemas are a fairly minor evolution over proto2 schemas, mostly removing features. My impression was always that it was either removing things that were expensive to support in Javascript, impossibl

Where are you getting this nonsense from, and if you're just speculating, why are you stating it with such confidence as a fact? Protobufs predate Go by more than half a decade, and there is no overlap between the authors.

Google One VPN is being shut down. And separate from that, I bet that wide deployment of privacy-preserving anti-abuse mechanisms is dead after the WEI fiasco. It's just not possible for Chrome to ship anything even remotely resembling

Here's a wild idea: how about we accept that the Statcounter data just isn't any good, should not be used as the basis of any kind of journalism, and definitely shouldn't be amplified by social media? It's incredibly fla

While I think it's the right outcome, the reasoning from the EC is horrifying. The real problem is that iPadOS was never a separate platform in the first place, and should have been grouped with iOS. The EC could just have ruled on tha

In this specific instance, as the article says, the delay is because the CMA (the UK competition authority) needs more time to evalute the feedback from Google's competitors on the proposal. But regulators from both the US and the EU h

We honestly can't know whether the regulators would care, or whether they would be making different decisions. But that counterfactual seems totally irrelevant to the claims the GP was making?

This isn't Google strong-arming the web. This is Google desperately wanting to turn off third-party cookies, and being told again and again by regulators that they aren't allowed to do so.

Sure, and this post was off the front page in minutes (whether due to the editorialized title or due to being a duplicate, we can't know). I.e. it was not actually allowed here, unlike stated in your complaint.

The post isn't in the top 200 entries despite having 22 points in 20 minutes. So it wasn't really "allowed on HN" in any meaningful sense.

A peak of 500 reports on downdetector for a major site is probably not a noticeable let alone newsworthy outage. For example, Reddit is showing two spikes of roughly the same size in the last 24h.
