This is weird, does anyone have more information on how this would happen?

Pre-enforcement lawsuits do exist to answer questions for parties prior to taking actions that would result in liability. One was just recently decided in favor of the ACLU. https://www.techdirt.com/articles/20200402&#x

I disagree with the characterization of "enemy," but I understand your point. Do we not regularly discuss here amongst ourselves the internal security of our organizations? Are inside threats not a growing part of that concern? [0

Certainly would feel creepy, if I knew it was happening. But, I would ask, beyond a gut feeling of being creepy, what particular objections does anyone have to this? Do you believe employers are not entitled, either legally or ethically, to

Correct. If you could look at one city budget and derive from that budget what it costs to sufficiently maintain infrastructure, then you would never see a bridge collapse, or a water main break, or a pension fund crisis. Look around at how

Wouldnt the answer be: commit these dedicated, talented, key individuals to the knowledge tranfer effort, exclusively? You're trying to prepare for losing them. So, try it out! Pull them off, and assign them to a cushy knowledge trans

Genuinely curious, why not name the bank here? It certainly isn't going to be news to the bank itself, so there aren't responsible disclosure concerns here. And since the top advice here is to leave the bank, wouldn't the bes

You're a survivor of repeated trauma. I wish society could have rescued you and shown you a different life. I'm sorry that didn't happen.

1) Privacy in Public is impossible This is a tautology not inherently, but because of how you're defining it. Privacy is not so simple as whether you can be surveilled in public or not. Technology opens the door to many complex ethic

Thanks for posting this. IMO, at least in the context of US law and the US Constitution, you're utterly misinformed and wrong. However, I encounter your defeatism/opposition in some of the privacy work I do, and it's good to

Curious, what sorts of famous people do we have hanging around HN?

Glad to see LA Unified's iPad disaster as #8 on the list. Tablets in general have been a... fiasco? disaster? Catastrophe? Especially for younger learners.

Did we learn nothing from the NSA? The big players long ago learned: you won't ever have the option to process something you never collected in the first place. "Collect it all." Process it later.

The better way is using the Compare feature that has been in Word for years, if not decades.

There is a Compare feature in Word exactly for use in these cases.

How is it fraud to ask for donations without being a non-profit? It's higher risk for sure. Non-501c3 donations are the kind of high risk small peanuts you can imagine a behemoth like Google wanting to get away from.

Newsrooms, let's also talk about threat models, and which of these G Suite concerns apply to your actual threats.

You should check out the commerce clause of the Constitution, I think you're in for a big surprise!

It's interesting to note that browser extensions continue to be the primary point of vulnerability for password management solutions. IIRC, it's been quite a long time since vaults themselves were breached. It is an undeniably mor

I think the problem here is the framing of the headline. Considering MOOC signups are completely free, a percentage alone tells you nothing. 4% of 100 signups would be appalling. 4% of 60,000 signups is still thousands of people successfull

Do popular methodologies suffer from popularity? Is the opportunity to turn the methodology into a brittle, monolithic and successful enterprise perhaps just too tempting? Before you know it, the high principles and ideals on which the meth

Curious if HNers involved in management of cloud providers like 365 and Gmail actually allow users to connect random cloud apps like this to their company mailboxes? The pitch here seems oddly user-oriented rather than directed at the enter

Dont sweat it, we aren't convincing each other anyways. Take a year off. Read, but never post anything except agreement and expansion. If you dont agree, quietly think about why and move on. See how you feel about this approach after a

OnlineU does a good job of tracking affordable college degrees. You'll have to go check on degrees that are offered yourself. Georgia, Kansas and New Mexico have accredited state colleges with pretty low tuition. https://www

A degree is a hard requirement on many, many jobs. Your resume will never be seen by human eyes without it. What do you recommend people with bills and families do, to address this reality?

I just wish people who are anti-scooter would interrogate their own opposition and understand its true genesis. It's not road safety. Road injuries are almost exclusively due, in various ways, to cars. So what is it, really, that&#x27

If you're worried about dangerous transportation, you must be positively outraged by the millions killed every year by cars, right?
