I'm looking at https://www.circuithub.com/company/careers, why is all hiring in UK? I thought you guys are in Massachusetts.

You have been blocked from The New York Times because we suspect that you're a robot.

wtf is happening to internet these days...

I dread the day which will certainly eventually come, when Google disables my account for some bullshit reason. So many things will stop working all at once, and there practically no way I can expedite restoring it

It's not just that; there's a new capability unlocked. You can now have self driving cars charge at remote places and come back without human interaction. Imagine you live in a place with no grid power

Oh no, it only works one way. When one starts signaling virtue, there's nothing wrong he can possibly do

Why this thread reads like it's from Reddit?

The system of capitalism works fine with one exception: it doesn't handle negative value. And this is what's being exploited here. You can lose customer's data and it's their problem. Borrow, take risk, lost money, and declare corporate bankruptcy - no personal loss. Destroy environment - say sorry and that's it. That's not free market. When CEOs have their personal assets taken, and kidneys removed to pay for the corporate debts - this is when things start changing

I have a govee kettle which has a limited Bluetooth support, which is mostly used to configure WiFi, but can also turn kettle on and off and reports temperature. Not sure if this is interesting to anybody, but if yes I can wrap it up in GitHub project

No matter how much the business makes, at some point their stock price comes up to the equilibrium with the rest of market. And since for CEO to get bonus he needs stock to go up, the businesses inevitably start applying dirty tricks at one point or another. That's just a system

I did not say a thing about attribution. This specific case might be a slam-dunk. The takeaway I got however was that the methods mathematicians use - they wanted some sort of rights to it. I no longer can access the article to quote prompted me to understand it that way, but to me that screams we are now approaching the next level of absurdity in patenting

Do I understand it right that people now claim an ownership of the actual mathematical methods? What next, people patenting the letters and the numbers? And then the sounds? This starts going ridiculous.

Laws would not fix the root cause, which is: world became too globalized, and that brought an onslaught of bad actors. Unless some sort of social score system is introduced, it will be very hard to make a quick decision whether someone makes a claim in good faith. But then everybody loses their privacy and ultimately their agency, which arguably many of us already lost to google and facebook. I don't think there is a simple soilution.

Latter is probably a factor, because merely being right doesn't mean you won't run out of money while defending yourself from lawyers

I can't agree more strongly with this statement. It is mind-blowing how can it be socially acceptable to treat other people's confidential data so mindlessly

We should have a law which penalizes businesses for leaking other people's private data

Got John's driver license exposed? Write him $1k cheque. Second time this happened? Make it $3k. And another 1% of his assets, since you put them at risk. $10k in the bank? That's extra $100. Guy has property worth 500k? Too bad for you, that's another 5 thou.

And no blaming sub-contractors either. You hired them to do validation and they leaked data? Too bad, must have verified that they are reliable. This is when all of these Hertzies and Targets and Fedexes start thinking twice before storing confidential data. Why do they need to hold on to your driver's license? I know why. They hope to make some extra cash by datamining it. Well, get your checkbook ready then.

You are selling alcohol and wanna make sure I'm older than 21? You don't need to scan ID. You definitely don't need to store it. You CHOOSE to store it, and if you do, be prepared to pay if you expose it.

I wish it worked like that, but yeah, it never will

Chinese companies will train their models on all the data they can get their hands on. We can make USA companies act ethically, but then they would become irrelevant. The "safeguards" they were made to implement already makes them less useful than comparable Chinese models. A few more years on that trajectory and we won't have to worry about them anymore

At this point, the word "racism" was misused so much, that its meaning is completely lost. People use it to throw dirt at the ones they don't like, like monkeys throwing feces at each other.

Wasn't something in their new ToS that turned many of us against them? I don't think advertisement was the issue

Perhaps this "free Palestine" decal gives them away...

DMCA is one of those bullshit laws which caused incalculable damage and we have not even started to address this gaping wound to stop the bleeding.

You no longer need to jump through the hoops in order to support your own root CA

You have been played. One might be thinking that anti-fascist means you are against fascism. But in reality the tactics and goals these people have are exactly the same as German and Italian fascist used

One day someone would reverse engineer the data TV feeds back to mother ship, and makes a fake driver to feed it garbage. Or not garbage. I could see some fun and profit a crowdfunded poison data could generate

I'm the one on receiving end of this game, and I'm sick and tired of playing it. I would so much rather pay full price and stop wasting my time looking what credit card to use for what purchase. This game benefits nobody but banks, and the total amount of time it wastes unproductively is staggering.

How is it that PayPal is still relevant? What does it even offer these days that other platforms don't do better?

It is censored

It is censored. They just don't tell you what they censor you for. You need to post, and then your account gets locked for bogus reason, and that's how you know what not no say. Like in Carlin's joke about words you are not supposed to say, NOBODY GIVES YOU A LIST!

I recently came to conclusion that x is deliberately used for psyops. After I made a couple of posts questioning the benefits of data centers on X, account was suspended for "inauthentic behaviors", restored, then suspended again, restored, and now X won't let me access it until I install an app on my phone and jump through hoops. In other words, doxx myself, it will not work with app on throwaway phone. X is clearly not a beacon of free speech it pretends to be

It would be hilarious when some services become unavailable to 55+. The whole age check scam will dissolve in a heartbeat

> They want to shut down our right to be heard in the first place.

there's no such right, never been. Just because one has a right to speak, doesn't make it an obligation for others to listen

Seems like a lot of people were getting a lot of easy money, and now they are unhappy.
