Ok, but what about pictures that you are in, taken and uploaded by someone else without your consent?
Standard/. IANAL response: like it or not, our current copyright system has no protections for you in that situation. Only the person who photographed you. Now, if they were invading your privacy doing so, you have grounds for recompense, but if you were in a public place and/or gave them permission to take your photo, legally, they had the right to take the photo and do what they want with it.
Which is all perfectly understandable. The only point I was trying to make is that the hard line message of "Well, you uploaded the photo so you are responsible" is not 100% inclusive of all situations.
I am pretty sure this will be pretty huge, at least at first, because everyone will want to mine the crap out of these coins just in case it gets big. Also, the fact that they have a huge share of eyeballs already as well as a media cycle hungry for FB news ensures that the message will get out and spread quickly.
As much as I dislike FB, I think this move is kind of brilliant. I could see them using the FB platform as the method by which coins are mined too, so the more you use FB, the more you are mining coins.... genius...
Experiments like this should not be allowed on public roads.
It's the same thing as putting up an automated gun turret on a public street set to only shoot bad guys..... well, it's an experiment but we are pretty sure it won't shoot any good people.... We had a guy watching the monitor with a button to prevent shooting people the wrong people....
Obviously the driver has a lot of blame in this and should be punished the same as any other inattentive driver.
But for Uber to be able to throw the driver to the wolves and take no responsibility is infuriating to me.
Uber has just as much responsibility in this as the driver because it is their experiment, this wouldn't have happened if they hadn't put that car on the road.
For the buck to stop at the lowest rung really does not seem right at all.
Nothing wrong with KeePass and ilk, it is just perpetuating an outdated model.
There are better ways to authenticate these days.
I get that you are technologically adept, but not everyone is. Those who are not are still valuable humans just like you.
For those who fear the three letter agencies (as you should), there will (hopefully) always be alternatives. For the masses, there will be a trade-off made where some level of spying, in the name of safety, will be implicit.
We make the same trade-offs in the "offline" world. The gov'mint has the ability to force you to open your wall safe. The same will almost certainly be proved reasonable for phones and encrypted communications eventually. As unreasonable as you may think that is personally, society as a whole has/will make that choice and you are benefiting from living in society so.... I guess deal with it.
As long as we have awareness (watchdogs) and open alternatives, I think we are fine.
That seems to be a pretty cumbersome system for users as they would have to either pay to be recognized by a CA and/or would have to go through a rigamarole set-up procedure to install a certificate in every piece of Internet-communicating software they use.
Also, what happens if that cert gets lost? Now they have to revoke it (and we all know what a joke the cert revocation system is) and go through the whole thing again...
I was in a situation, years ago now, where Frontier was my only option for Internet service.
They were terrible. It was frequently out (several times a month), they forced me to pay a modem rental even though I had my own DSL modem at the time (I did end up using theirs because they wouldn't take it back or stop charging me monthly for it), they would send me nasty letters if I used over 100GB of bandwidth in a month and getting anyone on the phone was at least an hour hold with frequent inexplicable dropped connections.
I liked the location I was in but that stands out as my worst service provider experience I have ever had.

I guess that's where people go when FB is down?
Megadeth has a special place in my heart as that was my gateway into metal, but yeah, not really death metal.
I always assumed that Nathan Explosion was based on Johan Hegg of Amon Amarth.
My favorite metal bands:
Ensiferum (one-stop-shop for workout music)
Opeth
Ayreon
Star One
Therion
Amon Amarth
In Flames
Pantera
Megadeth
Disturbed

AFAIK, there is no basis for prohibiting people from using things you make publicly available
What if you didn't make it publicly available? What if someone else did without your consent?

Easy enough to thwart this filter: Present your "genius" spark with civility and respect to the recipients.
I am one of those people playing World of Snorecraft on a (bit newer than a) 1962 Windows 7 PC...
It already plays well on my 5760x1080 aggregated monitors but I certainly wouldn't mind the additional love.
You're a dumbass.

Did the person killed accept that risk?

Next thing you are going to tell me is that my yoga pants aren't smart.....
Not my bounceball app! I can no longer download bounceball on new computers! Thanks GitHub! How am I supposed to bounce a ball now?!
Or.... just use a time-based authentication app for your 2FA

Looks like Thunderbolt was developed by Intel with collaboration from Apple. Not the other way around....

Why would you not choose a new method if it is more secure and you can also have it in place at the same time as normal passwords?
Nobody is suggesting that this be a mutually exclusive choice for web developers.
By your argument, we would never be able to change anything once it was deployed...

It smells so good!
I guess we should all be using gas masks while cooking from now on....
