And what happened last time we used a pretext to launch a preemptive attack on an oppressive government? How did that go, both at home and abroad? We don't know, because it isn't done yet...
Why does the site need to be able to decrypt the e-mail address for any other reason than marketing or opt-in notifications? A salted/hashed e-mail address could be used just fine for logging in and sending password reset e-mails (in fact, I plan to do exactly that to avoid exactly this from happening).
Stop asking for 100% demonstrable skills up-front. You may need to spend some time on-the-job training.
Stop paying executives so much so you can afford better workers.
Old people are not outdated. Experience is actually worth something. Use some of that money you're saving by not having golden parachutes for C-levels.
It's called "hellbanning", and it's done in more places than you might think. You can even have the hellbanned trolls see the other hellbanned troll posts, giving them all a nice padded room to go nuts with Nerf.
Because the Tibetan people probably don't consume MASSIVE amounts of salt. Salt is the most commonly-used preserving agent. If we want to be an industrial society and not an agrarian society, we need food preservation (so industrial farms can manufacture at one time and preserve the food to be consumed for another time).
If you have to regularly drive 600 miles, you don't. That's 8-10 hours of driving though, with no breaks. You sure you wouldn't mind an hour layover or two?
That is indeed what the logs do say: The car was not fully-charged, and the journalist took a detour from the given route. The logs are only on the test models, though regular customers can get them added if they want. I imagine this means they aren't meant to be real-time monitors that you look at frequently.
GW has always been extremely protective of their IP, to the point of this insanity. There are people who write programs to help them play GW games, they get C+D letters (a couple army builder programs, because they included numbers from GW copyrighted books, which you still need to know the rules to play).
It sucks because GW does make good games. They just want absolute control over how you're able to play them. I wonder what would happen if TSR had exercised the same control...
The law is already at play here. If you want, or if your descendants want (copyright lasts until your death + 70 years), they can sue whoever is using your code for damages. If you sell your code (and transfer copyright) to someone, they can sue. This has been explained to you a half-dozen times now.
You have created a legal liability for your users, and you do not care to fix it. Your users are just too ignorant to know they are liable.
The MIT license has no terms and no conditions. Sorry, the MIT license has one condition and one term: that your copyright notice remain on the code and that others be granted the exact same license if simply copied from one person to another.
If you do not want that condition, you need to explicitly say "This code is in the public domain." That is explicitly relinquishing your implicit copyright.
Again, there is an implicit copyright on your work that is "All rights reserved." People asking you to do what they want to do are getting licenses. You are licensing them to be able to do what they wish. And unless you're doing it some legally-significant way (a signed contract), they are opening themselves up for legal liability hinging only on your benevolence (something that I do not believe in).
The "do what-fucking ever" license is abbreviated MIT. If you cannot take the time to add one sentence saying your code is MIT licensed, I figure you don't care about other people using it.
In support of your comment, anonymity is a requirement for free speech. In fact, forcing someone to attach their identity to their speech is "a danger to political discourse and the polity itself" moreso than anonymity. I will deal with assholes on the Internet because I know that requiring them to identify themselves so they can be tried in the court of public shame leads down a very bad road.
People were talking about storing the hash algorithm with the hash (and implying it was a bad thing, or too much to ask for a simple programmer), which is what/etc/shadow does (which they did back before we had as much power and space as we do now.) The fact that/etc/shadow is storing passwords is, as you said, irrelevant. It stores info about the hash with the hash so that later you know what hash to use to verify.
The government exists to regulate monopolies that must exist, like power, gas, water, waste disposal, police, fire, and transportation, and break those that must not, like telephone, computer hardware, and computer software.
Those monopolies I listed must exist because of the barrier to entry and the potential consequences of a monopoly. Electricity and gas being necessary to survive winter, or even summer for some folks, a company cannot be allowed to hold someone's life for ransom. Water is a necessity of life, which is why it's provided by the city government (who holds a monopoly on it). On the other hand, there are things a monopoly can do better than competition, like take a loss on serving certain customers because the loss is made up by less costly customers, or make a large capital investment because they can take a credit risk and be assured that customers have no other choice (in a more competitive market, risk is heightened).
Of course, what I've just said is a good argument for government-owned fiber to the home (except for the "necessary for life" thing, which is only a matter of time).
Unfortunately, by the time the evidence is clear enough for even the most ardent skeptic to take seriously, it will be too late to reverse the effects.

Yes, though they prefer to be called "Our Benefactors". Now pick up that can.
To expound on this:
Stop asking for 100% demonstrable skills up-front. You may need to spend some time on-the-job training.
Stop paying executives so much so you can afford better workers.

This entire crisis is manufactured.
So, the gears of the free market grind slowly, but they do grind.

Have governments banned you from smoking week? Because government regulates who can and cannot smoke weed.

I am a gamer. I'm even a founder of a video game startup. Don't buy the game is the solution.
Yes, that's what the implied warranty of merchantability is all about.

Yeah, they cause me to use adblock and ghostery no matter how often they crash Safari

According to TFA, Consumer Reports already did a review of the car.

You forget the power of "Not My Problem" and "But What Can I Do About It?" See also: Every oppressive regime in the history of humankind.

Which is exactly what /etc/shadow does, and it's been around for a long time. These are all solved problems if anyone would pay attention.
