The problem with this line of plausible but non-scientific thought is that you base it solely on 'blood lead levels' as though they would be constant, without explaining the process taken to test. The latter part is critically imp

Ver, the guy is a bot pushing a narrative that will harm anyone following it, contact an HN mod and flag his post. That's all you can really do.

Fundamentally, it never will be able to do this. The reason is because a hash is a galois field, or finite field which has no unique solutions. Turning a file into a string is simple, and only has one correct answer in that direction. Turni

The practical obstruction is if you block the browser API access, they test for it, and then block you so you can't view their site, and they do that by using the information that you leaked. As for the effectiveness of blocking what t

No, any session based protocol (HTTPS) would expect certain characteristics to stay the same between the same session. If it changed with every call they'd just block you as a bot.

I'll keep in mind points 1 and 3. As for cars, how do we know that's true. There was Dieselgate, but from what I've heard they only got them because of whistleblowers. Many VOCs which these laws are designed to reduce are odo

I've heard from people I know to be scary skilled in that area that its possible through the d-bus interface. Mind you this was years ago.

The short answer is no you can't block it because that identifies to the site owner that you are blocking it (as a negative match). You'd have to mask every informational API with a suitable corrupted alternative that is plausible

As far as I was aware, it had. Everything I've seen in the last 5 years points to that. Is that not the case? Granted, I didn't go directly to the regulatory site because who can sit down and analyze multiple legalese documents th

I agree with you about uniqueness, but being unique doesn't matter with respect to their claims. Any educated person with sufficient math knows the mathematical structure of a hash will never be unique. Its a Galois field, or 'fin

You don't need proof you just need some sound reasoning about the trends. If it were as effective as you claim, progression in this area would have halted full stop. Ask yourself how long have those consumer laws been in effect. Has t

Ubuntu has a lot of unique information that is readily accessible. Machine-ID in /etc being one, but there's various other items that can be used in the same way from d-bus activation, and something like 20 different other places,

The short answer which should be obvious... regulatory doesn't work, legal doesn't currently work. The burden of proof is on the claimant, and with proper information control you can't ever meet that burden of proof. It becom

No, it appears you may have misread, or simply have a fundamental misunderstanding about how things work. Let me see if I can't reframe this to be more palatable. If you bought into unbacked fiat currency (and you do so when you trade

Having been a victim of this type of fraud, I'd say definitively worse than arguably. There's no legal recourse, ITT tech showed the world you have to be able to afford lawyers for 15+ years, and even then you can only come to a s

I'll have to reach out and ask, my guess is no it was never administered. We had a physics support group that was trying to change these practices for a long while. I haven't heard anything recently from them so they may have disb

Unfortunately, Its almost a certainty that you're wrong about this. They realize #3 has subsumed both #1 and #2 with the added twist of inescapable debt slavery with no deterministic way to complete those degrees. Education is no longe

From the history I've read, that number is much lower than 50%. You only ever really need 1/3 pushing in the right direction at the right time. Inevitably 1/3 will be passively content to go about their daily lives regardless

I'm not rose tinted about anything domestically, I think all the shennanigans with private bankers acting as a leg of government will likely end with us all dead, or at least a vast majority of us. As for the international concerns, it

It should be fairly obvious that communities are dynamic, they either grow, or they shrink. When was the last time you saw a community stay the same... ever. There are times of population accumulation, and distribution. Growth leads to bein

This is doomed to failure. More of something that hasn't previously worked doesn't solve anything. There's a saying, the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again expecting a different result. The mai

You don't address the fact that they paid out bonuses for doing a horrible job just prior to the seizure, nor the very real danger of further concentration of the banking sector (We are down to the big 3 now?). The issue isn't tha

Honestly, I'm not sure what point you are trying to get at from reading your comment, its all disjointed without a clear overarching point. If you're trying to say that regulators should be able to go and work for the people they

Having taken a number of certifications myself, I can say this is not surprising. Certifications have long been used as a means of keeping the labor pool concentrated, and in the interest of limiting those who should be qualified to receive

I'm surprised no one is talking about what it takes to get a bank charter to begin with. Starting in 2009 (iirc), the requirements changed to be so stringent that basically the only people who would be on the board of directors were pe

Its not strange at all, you have a ratio of bots mixed in with people, and quite a number of them seem like those broken Chat-GPT narratives you see. Political warfare is nothing new. Any intelligent person knows, if it doesn't have so

Honestly, in my opinion, the claim is clickbait misinformation, it fails to address several common issues, and basically relies on the claim that because it hasn't happened in the past it won't happen. There's also a decent n
