how does that assumption work? I would have thought that assumption would lead one to care less.

A 31 year old plane. This is more likely a delta issue than Boeing's.

I agree, these attacks are looking for systems that have pretty default security, and by running on a different port you avoid all this automated chaos because you're non default now. Like scam emails with typos, a way to filter out the naïve people.

What if there were restrictions on these with regards to ttl, it would put the burden back on the trackers, they wouldn't be able to swap and change them as quick and very quickly run out of options.

I think if you a machinist/mechanical eng you possess this trait, you have almost all the tools to make other machines that make new machines, but this is is kind of limited to this one discipline, whereas software we can almost build anything. In a previous profession I learnt this great lesson where we would occasionally build specific tools for specific jobs if we didn't have the correct machines to save sending parts out to be machined or even for doing backyard jobs.
Re:Instagram to test hiding like counts in the US
on Saturday November 09, 2019 @01:47PM (#21493397)
I almost think the like counts being visible to the creator is also detrimental. When you post something you get that happy feeling seeing the like count of it, it makes you feel good and then you keep checking on it regularly which is a problem, and why I don't post anymore.

Re:I tried to keep my unborn child secret from Facebook and Google

As much as I hate targeted advertising, which leaves you in a silo, categorised, with no hope of ever seeing an ad for something you would buy but didn't know existed.
But if drive past a billboard or there's a poster on the door you're going through, you'll still see this and it will probably bring up bad feelings. Is that correct? Or is it just that the targeted ones are trying to be more personal, whilst getting it so wrong?
