This seem similar to what using semantic tech (and quad stores) can be used accomplish (Subject, Predicate, Object, Graph).

But you are putting broad but is more opinionated design structure around it. I will have a look thanks.

And the numbers the UCP used from the consulting report were disputed by multiple groups including CPP.

However it appears to not be moving forward anymore.

giltron··on CrowdStrike representatives issue trademark infringement notice to ClownStrike
I doubt it. They are protecting against variations of "crowdstrike"...Not every variation of domains with the word "strike" in it. That would go beyond reasonable.
giltron··on Don't send your Google phone in for warranty repair/replacement
I believe tweets like this gets put on Twitter for several reasons:

1) Victim receives unsatisfactory response from Google (or no meaningful response from Google which I have personally experienced). They seek public attention to get Google to acknowledge the issue.

ie. The victim followed the official steps for remotely wiping the phone (as it would not turn on) but appears that didn't work. https://mobile.twitter.com/avantgame/status/1467242719273631...

2) They are seeking public attention/support. They may be looking for others with similar experiences that might help.

Helpful responses include steps they can take to protect themselves right now.

3) Smear Google - We can wait and see but I do not see an indication of this at this time.

The exact comment was "Or maybe reset your phone before giving it to others (for any purpose)?"

If my phone was account was hacked and someone said this to me directly, I would take it as a personal shot.

Not sure why you are trying to detract of the alleged incident by trying to claim the victim is being "toxic".

The parent never said "criminal" charges against Google.

Thats not just bad service. If the third party is an official agent of Google, then Google can be liable (monetary penalties). Now, proving that in practice is a question for the civil courts.

Now, if I was looking for a new Android device and I saw all these reports, I would definitely think twice before purchasing a Google Pixel.

giltron··on Ending our Medium integration
I had a similar experience during school. One real life troll told a substitute teacher I was accessing porn sites. Teaching sub only looked at the website url before kicking me off the computer. Unfortunately there was no follow-up for me to call them out on being lazy/ignorant. Funny thing was the "troll" did get banned later for accessing porn sites on the school network.

Exactly this. Now they recommend “protein foods”. Not related to this story but even the glass of juice is recommended to be replaced with a glass of water (and eating whole fruits and vegetables). Maple Leaf is doing the right thing to prepare to adapt quickly.

All the more reason to push for our governments to properly regulate a safe supply of drinking water (infrastructure level).
