My bank's website is publicly available. That doesn't mean anyone is free to access my bank account. Just 'cause something is accessible on the internet doesn't mean you have the right to access it. Case law and statute goes back at least to the 1980s on this point.

I'm not a lawyer or even an American but that certainly isn't how the DMCA works. The takedown is issued against the hosting company and, if they comply, they have no further liability. If they don't comply, they are liable in court so, of course, they all comply.

Same, except it's Jira and Confluence. Everything has to have story points assigned to it just so we can say we did an arbitrary number of points per sprint and show a impressive looking graph in retrospectives.

No, but if you have the facility to apply new shrink wrap so it looks factory sealed, Amazon aren’t going to x-ray it to check what’s inside.

Recognising that domestic flights also need security and not treating them like flying Greyhound buses probably helped.

I wonder if a letter addressed to “Liz Truss” would have got there in time for her to still be in residence.

Government policy on encryption (along with many other things including Brexit) relies on "magical thinking". They don't understand the problem so they assume there's an easy solution that's just being withheld from them by nefarious third parties.

As a Brit, I'd say not having guns freely available is one of the fights we won.

People still keep money in their Paypal account? After all these years?

“New online store’s marketing copy beats Amazon and Walmart’s to be uncritically regurgitated as news on CNN’s website”

I had this idea myself but never bothered to make anything of it. Thanks for saving me the effort!

Google answers "who is the queen of England?" with the reponse "Charles III". Close, no cigar.

St Paul's Letter to Tech Support

"Step right up, folks! Spin the Brexit wheel of bullsh*t! Is it a bonus? Is it a disaster? Nobody knows where the wheel will stop this time!"

The whole bill is a clusterF**. Some potentially useful bits of regulation of Big Tech thrown together with some dangerously authoritarian attempts at criminalising encryption. Bits of the bill keep getting taken out, put back in and then taken out, sent in, sent out before being recycled as firelighters, depending on which way the political wind is blowing on any given day.

I sold a second hand Pi Zero W (v1.3) with a broken camera connector for over $40 on eBay recently. Broken (as in LEDs come on solid, no HDMI output, or completely dead) Pi 3s are going for similar prices in the $30-60 range. It's all a bit mad.

More frighteningly we might manage to make it three premierships with only two PMs if Boris Johnson's saviour dream comes true.

ZX81 was the first computer I ever used. I learnt to code on it. It led me down the path that made me gainfully employed all my adult life. It might have been built to a price point but that price point meant it could be afforded by my family and the rest is history.

Again.

I received several of these. Forwarded them to PayPal phishing email address. Never got a response beyond an automated acknowledgment.

Yes. The malice is coming from the ones who hide behind the incompetents.

Given the caravan of clowns we currently have in government who’d rather debate the meaning of nouns than deal with a cost of living crisis unprecedented since the 1970s, this is not at all surprising.

Maybe it’s the time the cleaner plugs in the vacuum.

To be clear, exif data was still present when uploaded (including the orientation data) but the GPS location had been removed. I think problems with photos being incorrectly orientated is more to do with the website not correctly interpreting (or completely ignoring) the relevant exif data.

It appears not. Safari appears to remove the GPS data when you upload. I tested it myself by uploading a photo to https://exif.tools/ and no GPS location was reported. The same image copied to my laptop and then checked locally with exiftool did have the GPS location.

Here's some expert responses to this paper https://www.sciencemediacentre.org/expert-reaction-to-a-revi...

It's hardly science when you try to wave away questions about stress by pointing to studies about IQ.

And that's exactly the attitude I'm talking about

> females are worse at handling acute stress

Every time this kind of issue comes up on HN there's someone who comes along to mansplain why women are inherently less able to do tech jobs. It's not a good look for our profession and we really should be above this by now.
