Terms of service breaches are not typically a criminal manner in the USA. Perhaps it could be a civil matter if you create financial damages. Even in that area, the cases are usually decided in the courts on a case-by-case basis.

Generally, code is free speech, and the right to free speech protects this in America.

shipscode··on How to find exploits in video games
Thanks for the write up! This is really interesting and a great piece of knowledge to have out there. Funnily it similar to mobile app reverse engineering workflows.
shipscode··on CNN and USA Today have fake websites, I believe Forbes Marketplace runs them
Let me break down how the media industry works nowadays since there’s a lot of confusion in these comments.

Most media organizations have a small number of in-house journalists on verticals that make sense.

The rest of the content is curated and brought in from content partners and written outside of the news organization.

In practice they function more like a social media feed than traditional newspapers. I’m no fan of CNN, but this isn’t exactly a scandal, media had to adapt to keep up with so much being on social media these days, they all do this.

The health insurance aspect of the story seems intentionally dramatized, the author forgets to mention being able to opt in to COBRA altogether if their insurance ran out.

Stories like this are also why a lot of women now are embracing the tradwife trend.

shipscode··on Plastic bag bans work
This sounds great, but there’s just something about a shopping experience with plastic bags that just warms my heart. Life is a human experience, and localities shouldn’t legislate away all the fun.
shipscode··on U.S. army drops requirement for high school diploma (2022)
Thanks for this great response. At least they stopped mandating it, unfortunately mandating it killed people and used up lots of good will.
shipscode··on U.S. army drops requirement for high school diploma (2022)
Except the US military made them no longer mandatory, and even allowed discharged troops to come back.

Sounds like it was a significant strain on their logistics to mandate the COVID shots, not to allow them to be optional.

They dropped the vaccine requirement, so the COVID vaccine was different in their eyes.

shipscode··on With revenue declining, Mozilla CEO gets a 20% raise
Is there some secret FAANG-driven effort to just mess with the Mozilla CEO every couple years? They’re a seemingly worthless company to attract so much heat for their executives.

Good. Free speech is a natural human right. Most act like it was invented by the US constitution instead of acknowledged by it.

People really read into this, the societal decline was local police not giving a shit until 15+ victims organized and advocated for themselves for years.
shipscode··on Couch surfing predator: how a group of drugged and assaulted women fought back
Evil exists, society and it’s systems will fail you, and you have to learn to trust your gut. Overall a pretty accurate (but unfortunate) rundown of the current societal decline that most will face at some point in their life. Hope this story teaches more people to keep their head on a swivel.

My experience was that small spaces drive you crazy and make you do stuff like this. Thanks for reminding me why I can no longer live in urban areas.

shipscode··on New York approves the first congestion toll in the US: $15 to enter Manhattan
Wash n fold services don’t deserve to exist in lower Manhattan. Good take.
shipscode··on New York approves the first congestion toll in the US: $15 to enter Manhattan
It sounds like you’ve never tried to park downtown. I drove, lived and parked daily for free in Manhattan for 6 years

The entire length of Manhattan from below 14th street/above Houston on every single street has free street parking as long as you can comply with the 1.5 hours twice a week that you can not park there. It’s a few choice streets and aves that are the exception to this.

Business owners and employees park in those spots daily because street cleaning hours take place typically before 11AM, so they just drive in and hang out for 10 mins before getting free parking all day.

Ya buddy, go run the numbers on a wash and fold service or any small business with 6-7% cash on cash returns and lmk how much is left at the end of the month to pay $450 for congestion fees.

They street park for free which usually turns over between 9-11AM in all of the villages.
shipscode··on New York approves the first congestion toll in the US: $15 to enter Manhattan
Poor people park on the street for free and work or own the local businesses. They open their shops around street parking hours near them.

Hijacking infrastructure (roads only for busses) seems like a weird way to reduce “congestion”

My buddy owns a car that cost $1000. That’s like 3 grocery trips.
