The right to privacy, particularly when it comes to sex or your own body.

> I don't understand why people think this is a bad thing except unless they think children should be watching porn?

Because it's invasive, ripe for abuse, and contrary to our basic values as a nation.

Private lawsuits can seek relief that otherwise would be beyond the state's power under the 1st Amendment. For example, speech itself can be penalized by a court if it violates a non-disclosure agreement.

I've had to show my ID to the bouncer, but he never wrote down my info.

I don't think they've made a credible argument here. This is true regardless of whether the arguments they raise have merit otherwise (e.g. police interactions.)

People are well justified in looking at them askance for their choice of framing device. It's manipulative and dishonest, or at the very least comes off that way.

I noted that the criticism in the article attempts to frame on safety grounds.

It's not either/or.

It seems like they're really reaching to find ways to oppose helmet laws on "safety" grounds. I discern that their opposition to helmet laws has nothing to do with safety.

I'm guessing none of these people work in low-wage positions.

> I contacted Glynn County emergency services about Macleod’s 911 issue. The county said it “did not find any record of these calls registering in our system during the time in question” despite Macleod’s phone log showing she called 911.

I was under the impression that (successful) 911 calls aren't recorded in the call log.

Seems like a relevant time to bring up this old chestnut:

It's a polyglot file. JPEG decoders will ignore data that comes after the end-of-data marker, while zip decoders ignore data that comes before the first archive entry.

Essentially, they ran `cat pic.jpg arch.zip > output.jpg`.

The greater good that both serve is the availability of creative works. Copyright serves it by rewarding authors of new creative works. Piracy serves it by increasing availability of existing creative works.

They want to offer monetization features to Unity-based games.

> Unity already has Unity Ads, "our monetization solution for mobile games that enables game developers to monetize their entire player base", but obviously there are benefits to combining that with IronSource: "Unity and ironSource's complementary data and product capabilities will give creators access to better funding for user acquisition (UA) and monetization to successfully scale their games and accelerate their economic performance."

I'm able to read it if I turn off Javascript.

What misunderstanding are you referring to?

No I didn't.

There's no need to be a dick about it.

To clarify: I'm referring to the ability to convert CPU cycles directly into money.

Cryptocurrencies have also resulted in the invention of an entirely new crime: stealing CPU time.

Immediately after receiving the 10 commandments, Moses orders the Israelites to slaughter their friends, family, and neighbors who worshiped the golden calf. And God approved.

I would use this if it existed.

I get why ICANN doing this would have been a bad idea.

On the other hand, Russian-language countries are a major source of malware and other serious cybercrimes.

> When you use an ad-supported service, you're not "the product," you are the customer. You pay with attention, and the service trades some of that attention to an advertiser in exchange for regular currency.

The problem with this view point is that it's not just our attention that's being taken. If it were then the notion that "you are the product" wouldn't have gained such currency in the first place.

Wouldn't this violate the federal Constitution?

> No State shall enter into any Treaty, Alliance, or Confederation; grant Letters of Marque and Reprisal; coin Money; emit Bills of Credit; make any Thing but gold and silver Coin a Tender in Payment of Debts; pass any Bill of Attainder, ex post facto Law, or Law impairing the Obligation of Contracts, or grant any Title of Nobility.

-Article I, Section 10, Clause 1

1. Judges are not supposed to be partisan 2. I'm not aware of any similar cases being brought under the Trump administration.

"Respect" is not an expression of personal loyalty.

> I respectfully disagree to anyone who thinks Biden is treated the same as Trump was.

People respect Biden more than they respect Trump. This isn't Biden's fault, nor the fault of the people.

> You're alienating people like me from being on your side.

On one side are the computer scientists and engineers who understand the nature of the problem. On the other side are ignorant and/or dishonest actors out to avoid being embarrassed.

It's all on you if you pick the wrong one out of loyalty to a political party.

It's not a fine. That's the problem.
