It seems to me like a local news story where they leave a bike to be stolen in an area that is known for it and acting like it's news that people...try to steal the bike.
Seems like it would be more interesting if they made some sort of honeypot with something they would want like a CC list or something that has a good password and see if/when people get in without social engineering etc.
I have a sneaking suspicion that there's some really, really smart people who have considered the day 1 "why this won't work" aspects of the project like terrain.
My guess is that pretty much anywhere has geographical hurdles to cross for that kind of distance. From what I have read the land rights issues are much, much more difficult to overcome so a place that is effectively nothingness between two points makes it much more attractive.
On install or setup ask if they would prefer SSL only results/sites and inform them after the fact they elected for the option if they want to proceed to an unecrypted site. Kind of the same thing with sites that have certificate errors.
As others have said the warning thing will just add a layer of complexity that users ultimately won't understand.
Example: Lot of people probably searched for 'ashley madison' when it was in the news. Now, to a spouse without the context of the time that would look really bad. And that's a tame example. Imagine the search queries you may use to look up a recent horrific crime in the news, you would probably use just keywords and the locale. Without context it would make you look pretty bad.
I don't know what/which/who but if history has taught me anything when the big boys are two steps behind the next best thing, the move is to buy up all of the companies with the patent portfolios and/or IP and use their wallet to crush the competition or maybe crush the service if it's not beneficial to their bottom line.
Cursory search shows Uber and sidecar are the only game in town when it comes to patents.

..most AM accounts were "hey what's this?" non-paying, non verified accounts, I believe them. They added 4million accounts of people signing up/in to see what the big deal was after all the hype.
Now, how many paying accounts are there of those? IIRC previously it was like 1%.
If the allegations are true then it's pretty cut and dry.
"You are not an independent contractor if you perform services that can be controlled by an employer (what will be done and how it will be done). This applies even if you are given freedom of action. What matters is that the employer has the legal right to control the details of how the services are performed."
Actually it's worse than that. They had a lot of contributors and then moved to their insane cash grab model and basically locked out contributors who didn't answer as much as they used to, no grandfathering in long standing members, F-you pay me.
That EE is alexa ranked 5,000+ and SO is 50+ warms my heart.
I can't speak for everyone but I have these type features in my car (adaptive cruise, lane assist, proximity warnings, blind spot detection, etc) and I can say without a doubt for me it surely hasn't made me a better driver. I get into my other car without all of that and find myself making noob driving mistakes (not checking blind spots, not keeping consistent speed, much longer parallel parking, etc). It's actually kind of unnerving at how fast I came to rely on the car to do these tasks for me.
I haven't seen any studies so maybe I'm just a goof but I consciously try not to rely on those things because I don't want to forget how to actually drive.
Yes, the easy way is to just penalize usage: It reduces the need to upgrade infrastructure and increases profits. OR unload your issue onto wireless networks so effectively people are paying you to switch the data onto the other connection they also pay for.
I know mobile data providers are under the gun, but they put themselves there.
I'd bet a good amount that the future of telecom will be 'untethered' devices that operate completely from wireless(etc) providers and VOIP because the monopolies are simply to big to change. Of course, like Cable they will fight this tooth and nail, of course through legislation not innovation.
There *is* more than enough to go around in most places, the only issue for like forever is how to properly monetize it. Since the 500$ monthly bill AOL days everyone who should does know the insatiable thirst for bandwidth, this stuff was charted out in board rooms to 2030 in 1990.
Unfortunately, the installed brass at most of the big telcos/cablecos only know how to twist the knobs a bit right or left to reach peak profit for this fiscal year. Yet another byproduct of monopolies: Innovation suppression for profit.

Sure, there are tax benefits but a small start up is thinking ease of entry more than 'how do we hide our profits'.
In other words: I like to support my local grocer but if I have to wait in line for ten minutes I'll just go to the big box.

You probably won't die but you're definitely getting hurt.

You learn from mistakes and try again, unless you are summarily executed for failing.
I have no doubt that's the case here.

The same reason NAMBLA can't come up with a decent candidate. The entire party panders to the worst of the worst in politics.

Well at least you know where the name came from: It took about as long as an actual 'desert wind' would take to get from LA to Vegas, maybe longer.

It really, really matters with search history.

= "three-phase".
Most likely it was just some sort of backup power system like a NOC battery bank and/or generator.
There's really no explanation as it applies to bitcoin that makes sense for the literal use.
Well how else is the non-existent local public or commercial delivery infrastructure supposed to find them?

True, but she's still a not very good human being.

Pitiful.
Just price it in (it already is) and be done with it. Jeez.
This may terrify you: Any stranger can find out where you live any time. I mean unless you are like in witness protection or something.
Came here for this. It most definitely is use for commercial purposes.
I would hope that Amazon has a way to mitigate that issue otherwise it's pretty cruddy to let people hang themselves without fair warning.
Also, I wonder how USPS feels about this considering they expanded delivery to sunday for amazon.
