This is false in multiple ways (one of which would be legal for this - I believe - Spanish organisation), but I suspect you know this and are simply just trolling now.

It transmits telemetry non-consensually before you even get a chance to tell it not to. That is, unless you know of this beforehand and are also tech-literate enough to understand this can be circumvented by disabling your internet connecti

Not quite a match but it did lead me to the term "door-in-the-face technique" which is explained in this Wikipedia article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Door-in-the-face_technique

Does this type of implementation strategy for unpopular changes (taking two steps forward, waiting out torches and pitchforks, and then taking one step back to intended level) have a specific name that it is usually referred to as? It is so

That is not at all what I'm proposing and I'm honestly baffled as to how you ever came to that conclusion. Surely you can imagine the possibility of us coming up with systems and processes that are both non-anarchic as well as dif

Expanding and institutionalising the current situation will only serve to entrench it even further and make it practically impossible to move away from. I would not call this a positive development. Not even in the slightest.

That is a fair point, although I wonder how long this will hold true considering the ever increasing prevalence of heatpumps, sun-boilers, and other such equipment.

That is precisely why you should let your $0/hr spawn pick up this menial task rather than doing it yourself - assuming your time is worth more than theirs, obviously :)

Your children, if you have any, should make for rather efficient dishwashers at no additional cost if you play it smart.

The distribution of consequences rather than discovery of violations is what I expressed my cynicism about.

You are missing the point entirely. Yes think of smaller entities - which are not all commercial, mind you - just don't think of them more often and more thoroughly than the multinational megacorporations that have been racking up endl

As previously implied this does not conform to my own observations The idea is good and I'm all for it, but mostly due to said observations I'm not convinced its practical implementation will be very effective at all

Yes (see my reply to your sibling comment 1) but these are not large cases and I'd rather not connect this HN account to my real life activities. All but one of the cases ended in a warning, but it does show the increased scrutiny that

Source I have experienced this with my own business, and saw it happen to other commercial as well as non-commercial entities with previously implemented acts and directives. It's not dissimilar to how the tax authorities always seem t

Of course, as per usual, this will come with entirely unfair and unproductive enforcement. Multinational corporate violators will be left alone or get sent on their way with a slap on their wrists, and small one-time hobbyist violators will

I have only declared my concerns with regards to the unintended side-effect of this project as explained in my top level comment. I have no qualms with and never even brought up this "principle of the initiative" as you call it.

Thanks for clarifying, this makes things slightly better than I had originally assumed. The personal connection still being on file with an authority remains a pain point though.

In my opinion we should be countering the normalisation of using a single identity/persona for all offline and online activities across multiple platforms, not encourage it. The consequences for rubbing public opinion the wrong way are

It's so frustrating even pursuing that with Apple for these very common issues. They'll gaslight you with the friendliest of words and nicest of smiles until you just give up and bugger off for good.
