The text quoted in the linked article in no way mandates the use of Netscape Navigator or Mozilla Mail - it merely references them as being widely distributed software capable of using RSA 1024 and SHA-1 (which it does appear to mandate).
Now that Apple Maps has had many years to get a lot better, I genuinely prefer it to Google Maps - even setting aside the privacy issues.
I love in California, so I understand there may be locale based differences, but it’s never really steered me wrong (pun intended), and always does a good job of picking a logical route.
Good luck with that!
We get surgery without blinking all the time in this country, and the most common types are incredibly safe. You make leg replacement on the order of knee or hip joint replacement surgery, and you’ll have people beating down your door.
As a kids who grew up in a few different suburbs in 2 different countries, I'd challenge that assertion. We had tons of adventures, visited a lot of cool places, and did a lot of exploring (on our own), all within a few miles of our homes. We'd ride out bikes to the liquor store / arcade / cemetery / 7-11 / park / community center / museum etc. When younger, we'd have to get off and push out bikes back up the hill the last few blocks sometimes (I lived on a very steep hillside).
Nothing about living in the 'burbs precludes adventure...
What I don't get is why people with this view are as adamant as CrossFit junkies in proselytizing their worldview. Some of us like the suburbs.
I think GPs point is that those aren’t the high-calorie, high value crops needed to make this a real revolution in food production.
Show me vertical vineyards, maize, grains, stone fruits, apples etc.
That only works out if you can sell your mobile for $50k - typically (there are exceptions based on location and market conditions, but typically) mobile homes depreciate in value, while 'fixed' homes appreciate.
6 years ago if you'd put that $50k down on a 200k house, you'd have had a ~1k mortgage and a home that has appreciated to ~240k, instead of a mobile home that has depreciated.
Funny, those are 3 of the main reasons I live way out in the nearly-rural suburbs instead of in downtown San Francisco.
It seems like some of us have made that trade, just not in the direction you're hoping for.
And we know they are not doing it because if they were, we’d all be forced to install certificate profiles on our devices like the people in TFA here...
Given that 60 years ago the only place anyone in the US would run into manufactured MAG was in a Chinese restaurant, calling it that doesn’t seem the least bit related to race.
And given that I’ve grown up in Canada and the US, eat Chinese food regularly, and have never heard this term before today, it seems incredibly overblown.
Hold up.. This not only varies by state, but by county and city. Some places have this built in to special assessments on property taxes, some contract with a trash company that collects fees directly, and some are a bit of a free for all with multiple trash companies providing pickup and or/dumpster service (this is more common in rural areas).
I had a place up in the mountains where we had to buy special $6 trash bags and haul it to a central dumpster ourselves, and there are those in large cities who have to deal with mob-run collection companies who bribe local politicians for monopoly rights.
TLDR; To generalize "In the USA" for something like this is impossible.
Sooooooo the fine is nearly 2x the cost to consumers due to malfeasance. That should cover your concern here.
When this was all going down, RobinHood was a plucky startup being praised all around the valley, not a 'large market actor'.
> There's a reason they're called "inalienable." They're not supposed to be self-alienable either.
Not sure which founding father suggested the inalienable right to tort, but apparently he was overruled since it didn't make it's way into any founding documents.
$65M penalty for $35M in misbehavior. That is how you get Wall Street to pay attention. More like this please!
I look at it this way - if this cross-app tracking BS wasn’t so important to FB, they wouldn’t have their panties so wadded up about it.
His departure was announced in August.
They're not shipping dozens of tests (that didn't exist until now) to their citizens at no cost, which I what you seem to be implying...
“ Your app shares a lot of data with a third party”
You then proceeded to move the goalposts so far that now we’re talking about wether or not an app is free?
Listen, if you’re going to start an open-source/libre/data wants to be free argument, that’s your right, but don’t start it with fake accusations of privacy violations.
Not easily so on mobile - the need to zoom multiple times and scroll in 2 directions to read simple information is a PITA.
This is not that feature at all - iOS has had the ability to show/control permissions since they have had permissions, and an app cannot require unrelated permissions to function.
This is about data that is collected, and how it's used - not app permissions.
That’s not really... likely. Even if your state wasn’t a ‘state’ Pre-abolishion, there was slavery there. The history of slavery in North America did not start at Plymouth Rock.
6(b) orders are essentially warrants under the FTC Act:
"Section 6 of the FTC Act provides another investigative tool. Section 6(b) empowers the Commission to require an entity to file “annual or special . . . reports or answers in writing to specific questions” to provide information about the entity’s “organization, business, conduct, practices, management, and relation to other corporations, partnerships, and individuals.” 15 U.S.C. Sec. 46(b). As with subpoenas and CIDs, the recipient of a 6(b) order may file a petition to limit or quash, and the Commission may seek a court order requiring compliance. If a party fails to comply with a 6(b) order after receiving a notice of default from the Commission, the Commission may commence suit in federal court under Section 10 of the FTC Act, 15 U.S.C. Sec. 50. After expiration of a thirty-day grace period, a defaulting party is liable for a penalty for each day of noncompliance. Id.; Commission Rule 1.98(f), 16 C.F.R. Sec. 1.98(f)."
