The state does do it. It's called a criminal record which is strikingly easy to obtain in the U.S. which has a law for everything imaginable. If you've ever had any kind of criminal activity, ever, even from something dumb in your youth, the United States has a log of it, which employers use to discriminate against that person. Forever. It doesn't go away. The "miscreant" is then forced either into a life of crime, which puts them into prison or worse.

I think you need to fix your bot algorithm.

I'll stick with my RTL-SDR thanks :)

Also, if you're a student, and have Spotify, they give you Hulu as a bonus. (for $5 a month!)

I've worked with Comcast for quite a few years though Contingent Technology Solutions, and I have noticed a change in their quality lately. It's almost like they care a little bit more. Don't quote me on that, though.

I'm reading Infinity Born by Douglas E. Richards - it touches on many of the AGI (artificial general intelligence) concepts talked about here. The guy in the book creates an AGI, but thinks he has it contained but it evolves to the point where it gets out of it's box. Good stuff, highly recommend.

Are you a lobbyist? You realize regulations are created all the time because a company pushed for it to benefit the most, right? Some are good. Some are bad. Like everything in this world.

I need one of these to identify the neighbor that lets their dog fertilize my lawn. At least .. I hope it's a dog.

Millenials are probably waiting for their parents to pass away, and then inherit their property. It's the path with least resistance.

Hi. Read this article a few hours ago, and went down a rabbit hole of agony. I am a victim of the equifax breach apparently. I checked my credit report (on creditkarma.com) for equifax, and realized that there were two hard inquiries which pounded my score down about 40 points. One from Verizon (never have I ever done business with them); one from Paypal Credit (same). I ended up contacting both companies and placing disputes to remove the inquiries from my records. I also placed a dispute for the verizon credit inquiry through equifax, but it wouldn't let me dispute the paypal credit because I couldn't "verify" myself. It asked me for the address of somewhere I lived 10 years ago, and I had a digit off and so it blocked me. Either way, I talked to Verizon and they said someone had applied to get a Verizon account and they were denied. Then they suggested I place a fraud alert (it was free, it's not right that I have to pay $10 to freeze my credit) on my equifax; which I did. By the way, these unauthorized hard inquiries were performed on the 19th, and 22nd (yesterday) of this month, respectably.

Either way, thanks for the article, because even though it's been many months since the breach, the effects are still being felt; I'm sure by more than just myself.

OFF-TOPIC: When someone has a problem with their computer, I'm going to start telling them they need GPU fluid.

Jokes aside, this is a beautiful simulation of 2D fluid dynamics pumped to the screen using OpenGL.

I'd still like to know 'how' they got all those reviews. Is there a warehouse full of people somewhere in China generating this, so-called 5-star review farmers?

It's especially fun when they do inmate-led fundraisers, which means that they can get Subway, Pizza Hut, or other "street food", and charge the inmates triple, and then the fundraiser money goes into the yards pockets. Or the fact that they have their prison workforce doing jobs in small towns by the complex for $8 - $10 an hour and the inmate gets $0.50 - $1.00 of it. Prison labor like that is also something a "first world" country should be ashamed of. For-profit prisons should be outlawed.

As someone who spent many years in the United States (Arizona) Prison system, this is a great step forward. Although it still won't stop drug users from committing crimes to get their next fix.

They should have thanked Brian Krebs, though. To be honest. Didn't he call out Jha long before anyone else knew?

Last few lines state how assistance was provided by various regional and international agencies, and then goes on to list google, coinbase, cloudflare, etc. Interesting.

Google will be buying up the 127.x.x.x ip range before you know it /sarcasm

TLDR The future of programming languages should involve not naming your language "Coq". I know I am going through the lowest common denominator, but how do you explain to your boss that you're proficient with using Coq. Ugh. Or professor, since apparently it's a proofing language for academia.

Personally, I'd rather have something I don't have to configure. Just basics then.

Hi, nice and simple site. Thanks! Maybe in the future can you give analytics as to who is visiting the site? That way we can get an idea of the demographics of who is going to which domain? (paid feature maybe)

Beyond creepy. It seems he has a pattern of this behavior, and I'm wondering how often he succeeds in his hunt. Thanks for getting your story out!

Supposedly checks for "supercookies" that track your every move on your phone. Anyone know anything else about this?
