I might even incorporate the request rate into a bot detection algo, maybe have it trigger temporary hellbans.

I believe he's talking about Diablo 2 (the timeframe works, and the game is notorious for duping), in which Blizzard provides shady third party companies with items, which are then sold to users.

If I'm not logged into a site a that I regularly use, I'm probably not logged into my email, either. In order to log into my favorite site with Passwordless, I have to log into my email as well. With my password. One login for the price of two, and I'm still using a password.

I found a demo[0] via this old forum thread from August[1].
Obviously there are privacy concerns. That being said, this looks like a boon for anyone interested in bot detection, as you can periodically challenge your users' humanity without getting too much in their way. Nice one, Google.
From the thread:
Implemented it successfully for a website. I have to say, it works great!
it also checks if html pages are changed at runtime and how many times you "reload" the page where the captcha is. When it thinks you are a bot a captcha popups, when entered, it got checked on googles servers if it's right and fills in a hidden input. When the user submits the form, the filled in captcha coded, again, will be verifed. [sic]

Your idea started out good. Sometimes I want to research a product before I go looking for a merchant. Blocking all sites that contain ads? Just use adblock if you're that fanatical.

tl;dr: LED bulbs get too hot, lowering their life expectancy. Manufacturers need to include cheap thermistor circuits, which automatically dim the light to a safe thermal equilibrium.

The new Google Maps on Android is terrible, as well. It's missing features, most notable of which is the ability to search for alternate routes when you hit traffic.

Sure, sometimes their usernames are their primary keys. Even if the actual primary key is arbitrary, the primary identity is still exposed to the user, in that they know what their user account is, and which email addresses are linked to it.

> But it's one that's never exposed to the actual user.
Why not expose it to the user? Because then they'll want to change it? Are you talking about browser fingerprinting?
We already expose this on the user/email level, where users can link and log in with as many email addresses as they like, under one account (identifier).
