To clarify, I'm referring to entities that tout themselves to be a platform for providing customers to express their opinions. For your example, I think a better analogy would be a venue owner that publicly advertises their space to be rented out for events and/or performances. In such case, the owner should have no right to refuse the comedian from hosting a show even if they find them objectionable.

And what is your point? Let them face consequences. That is not a justification for suppressing such speech.

Thank goodness that the merchants that I do deals with do not force me to pay with cryptocurrency.

Please speak for yourself.

Yeah, if that's the first thing that comes to their mind, then they need to look themselves in the mirror real hard and wonder whether they're the ones perpetuating xenophobia.

One of the major selling points of using cloud is serverless where it truly lets you build-once-and-forget with minimal maintenance overhead. Can you suggest comparable on-prem/Hetzner alternatives for the products I use: CloudWatch Logs, S3, DynamoDB, Kinesis Data Stream, Step Functions, Lambda, CloudFront, API Gateway, Athena? Having used these services in my day-to-day job, I just can't imagine myself ever going back to the old way of doing things.

Ah, the "melting" part is what makes it irreversible. Thanks.

The article that gp linked mentions that it's stored in non-volatile memory that supposedly is "programmable" only once. Obviously, it depends on the chipset, but how is non-reversibility guaranteed in this case?

Has there been any research on reseting these fuses via fault injection attacks?

Amazon Music Unlimited also has it included in their catalog. How does Apple's fare against Amazon's?

You're comparing apple and oranges. The 99% prediction[1] was based on the statistical significance calculated against the polling results, and was not the actual polling numbers suggested in the wiki that you linked.

But don't ratings matter most to advertisers? Who's going to run ads on a station that nobody watches?

> So they demand ID, without making it possible/easier to get.

Great, have congress legislate laws to make it easier/free to obtain passports. Instead of requiring folks to travel to DMV/Post office/etc., why not have federal public servants visit them door-to-door and assist in issuing it? We do it for census, so what's preventing them from doing it for passports?

At a first glance, its functionality looks like something that could be implemented through {Grease,Tamper}Monkey script. It provides so much more transparency over the extension model and I wish more folks make use of it.

It doesn't seem to me that apartment rents going up by $n/month when UBI of $n/month rolls out is an impossible proposition, since everyone can afford extra $n. Can you elaborate as to why this wouldn't happen?

And the administration wants to spend $1.75 trillion more dollars? Give me a break.

A reminder: just because you don't see any meaningful activities happening on www., don't assume that the owner is domain squatting. Folks make use of their domains in a variety of ways, not just for hosting a website on www.

Soracom's offerings look to resemble those of Particle's[1]. How are they related to AWS Private 5g?

They should've made the example GIF out of Related Search Box if they were serious enough about it.

> WalMart has higher e-commerce revenues than Amazon according to this by almost 30%

What? Here's a quote from the same article:

> Our global eCommerce sales are on track to reach $75 billion by the end of the year.

This has to be the annual sales figure right? Amazon surpassed this number several years ago.

> then you don't "accept the vaccine"

What does that even mean? What makes you think saying yes to vaccine but no to vaccine mandates means they don't "accept the vaccine"?

> Additionally, most people agree with the mandates

From the latest poll [1] (conducted between 11/05-11/07):

> Table POL11: Even if neither is exactly correct, which of the following comes closest to your opinion? Government mandates to receive a COVID-19 vaccine

44% of registered voters say they violate the rights of Americans

45% of registered voters say they protect the rights of Americans

Online activation by definition is a form of DRM.

What do you think should be the alternative? Forcing everyone to use cloud-based gaming services because the publishers will simply stop making personal copies available?

Interesting to note that someone opened an issue in the linked GitHub repo mentioning that the system doesn't work with iPhone 8 and above:

https://github.com/y-x-c/wearable-microphone-jamming/issues/...

edit: Looks like (from the reply) it's the waterproofing membrane over mic that's rendering the jammer useless.

Can you elaborate more? Is it not possible to have replication delay due to stale caches?

Some people want to work for companies that foster competitive environment and reward employees who are motivated to go and/or perform above and beyond what is expected of them. Unions seldom help to create such environment.

I think the bigger question is whether GitHub will be able to honor DMCA requests that pertain to copyrighted materials showing up in Copilot's suggestions.

visa issue.

GP’s comment isn’t referring to the tools given to volunteer moderators. They are referring (and strictly so) to the tools that end-users can use to moderate what they themselves want to see.

Isn’t this a similar argument that could be made against race and gender based affirmative action? I don’t understand how organizations like ACLU are critical of face recognition tech because it reenforces implicit bias that engineers have but then turns around and supports race and gender based affirmative action that similarly reenforces implicit bias where PoC (but not Asians for some reasons) and non-males are presumed to be disadvantaged purely due to their identity.
