Yes, because lots of people end up using software with default values. Can you blame them? Perhaps... in a way that you can blame a user who accidentally clicks a "delete account" button that doesn't have a confirmation step.

I don't think it's a knee-jerk reaction. For me it's easier to believe that this EO was signed deliberately to make every important security researcher guilty by default. It's hard to go against a government that can alw

Why are they putting this on a vote, if it's such a good plan? Policymakers should be making policy, not offloading blame for policy outcomes to the residents. It's their only job. The fact that local micro politics have a real ch

3-4 year limit on software patents would certainly help. It puts the incentives closer to where they should be, and is a straightforward fix too, unlike revamping / abolishing the whole patent system. It certainly doesn't fully ad

I found LastPass terrible from a UX perspective. Sure it must claim a lot of checkboxes on a feature sheet, but the applications/plugins/website are buggy and inconsistent with each other. It only works well when you use it for th

I'd say it's not unreasonable to expect a question of "how many times did you use said contraception last year" in the poll/questionnaire. If the "perfect" scenario can be self-reported, this is fair game

What should the sales tax be progressive on? You don't know the buyer's income when they pay for stuff. Some usage taxes might work, but unless they specifically target out-of-canton persons, they will just drive more rich people
