Bots themselves do not have free speech rights however output created by bots is protected under the first amendment because human programmers with free speech rights create bots and their output. California's proposed law is most likely unconstitutional. The method of speech, be it printing press, bot or any other computer program, artwork, music, or oral speech are all protected under the US Constitution. The US Supreme Court has held that the government cannot, under most circumstances, prevent speech or compel speech. The latter is referred to as the compelled speech doctrine.

How do you know that their business model was not sustainable? Since they were a private company before being purchased by Microsoft we do not know their costs and profits per year.
They offer many paid services in addition to their one free service. They offer personal monthly and yearly plans for private repositories as well as enterprise services sold to Fortune 500 companies. They already have tiers of service. Their free service is perfectly good for people wanting public repositories. The paid and business services are perfectly good for companies.
People become qualified through practice. The HOA board members only needs to be as qualified as the voting members require otherwise they will be replaced by other board members. Hiring a third party property management company could increase the HOA fees to homeowners.
My personal opinion is that they are liable for replacing every CPU they sold after they were aware of this problem without disclosing it. I don't fault them for selling CPUs when they were not aware. The i9 7940X, 7960X and 7980X should not have been released last year or if released only with a disclosure of vulnerability.
No, because OSX and Windows 10 contains proprietary code and probably 3rd party licensed code that Apple, Microsoft and their partners will never license under a free (libre) license that is usable in a Linux distribution. Projects like WINE will never be 100% compatible because they are trying to implement a moving target. As soon as they have reproduced the old API, there is a new not fully compatible API they have to work towards.
openSUSE Leap 42.3 or openSUSE Tumbleweed openSUSE Leap contains stable versions of software released on a periodic cycle. openSUSE Tumbleweed is a rolling distribution that always contains the latest stable versions of software.
Both support KDE and GNOME but they default to KDE.
How might this come about? well I see four scenarios as nearly certain to come along at some point There are probably many others I haven't considered.
1. Due to distorted economics like subsidized electrical power or cheap cooling, some countries accumulate a dominant share of the mining. Then for some reason the government of that country kills the market (e.g. remove power subsidies or siezes the machines) for mining. Suddenly there's void of miners that someone with a big cluster (amazon?) could step into.
BTC is mined with ASICs these days. Amazon does not have the ASICs needed.
2. due to geopolitical tensions (a war?) one country with a small number is cut off from the rest of the world's miners. Again now some small player witha lot of CPUs can dominate the ledger for that country. We see internet cut offs in Iran and Syria and other places now and then. And there's growing numbers of firewalls around countries. IMagine if China and the US came to blows in the south China sea or North korea executed a cyber blitz kreig on south koreas. Isolations of the internet would occur.
Yes, possibly but so what? Who are they going to double spend BTC with in the middle of a war? The BTC network outside their country is not going to see their new found wealth or BTC transactions and once their country BTC network rejoins the rest of the world their chain would be behind the other network's chain and not followed which would cause them to lose any transactions that had occurred.
3. The reward system for bitcoin changes with time with fees replacing mining. What if the fees don't attract enough miners? that is say, as fees rise the number of transactions will fall. there is some equliubrium there. That equilibrium sets the POW difficulty and the number of miners who can make a profit. Do we know that equilibrium is sufficient to protect the transaction value of a double spend? I don' think there's anything built into the model to assure this.
The miners will only leave if the perceived value leaves. If the perceived value leaves, who are they going to double spend with?
4. What if some new crytpocurrency suddenly becomes more profitable for miners and they point all their ASIC's and GPUs at that leaving bitcoin a ghost town with just a few miners. Here's one such scenario. Someone, maybe etherium can, will figure out how to make the wasted effort of the POW actually valuable in itself. e.g. make the POW be the travelling salesman problem of delivery planning that UNited Parcel Service has to solve every day. Now you get paid for the POW by the currency holders and also get paid for the work you did for UPS. this will beat out coins where the POW is worthless as a calculation.
What value would they be able to attain by double spending something that has no value because everyone has left it for other coins?
Miners are only going to stop mining if there's no perceived value in what they mine. If they've left then there's no perceived value in BTC to be "stolen" by a double spender. A potential double spender is a miner too. Why would they chase 51% hashing capacity of a coin worth nothing when they could put that hashing power to use mining a different more valuable coin? Also remember for the double spend to work, they have to actually spend. Who will accept BTC in your scenario where there are almost no miners left such that a single entity can gain 51% hashing share? Also, if it's so easy to gain 51% hashing capacity then there will be multiple entities attempting to gain 51% so they can double spend; which is essentially miners keeping the network safe through greed.
The difficulty adjustment has quite a lag to it. It roughly takes 2 weeks before the adjustment goes down. This gives more time for the perceived value to drop before the network adjusts slightly.
The other thing to think about is the irrational miner. Some miners mine coins they can't profit from due to miscalculation of profits, incorrect guess of future events, or simple love for a particular coin. We've seen this with new coins where miners will choose to mine them even if their hashing power would be better utilized on a different coin.
I seriously doubt he would throw razor blades in a suicide ward. He would charge for those blades.
It's not Elon's responsibility what you do with a flame thrower after you buy it. It's not Gillette's responsibility what you cut with a razor blade after you buy it. It's not Ford's responsibility what you hit with a car after you buy it. It's not John Deer's responsibility what you run over with a riding lawn mower after you buy it. It's not Sturm, Ruger & Company's responsibility what you shoot with a gun after you buy it. It's not Clorox's responsibility what you do with bleach after you buy it.
I've wondered this too every time I hear a new company or organization say they're going to utilize a blockchain for something. The related articles always fail to mention what the POW or POS that blockchain is going to be based off of is.

As I understand it, if the theater does not support it then there's a movie pass debit card that you can swipe at the box office. It activates to allow the purchase of 1 ticket after you tell the moviepass app that you plan to see that movie at that theater.
IOW, the theaters don't have to support it in order for you to use it.

Other people, like yourself, had already mentioned it in previous comments. I was not trying to list every feature that Yubikeys have and I don't normally use Chrome. I was under the impression that PKCS#11 can already do what U2F does with Chrome but with more browsers. I distrust giving a web browser access to USB devices directly. I admit that I am ill informed concerning U2F so I am researching it now so I can properly determine the pros/cons of U2F vs PKCS#11 on Linux/Windows and multiple browsers.
Each Yubikey supports several security methods. It supports RSA with GPG/PGP, PKCS#11 and OTP. You are describing a flaw of OTP when an HSM is not used on the server containing the OTP key.
Legally in the US you are required to either have a minimum set of insurance or put up a large amount of money in a bond with the state in lieu of insurance. The latter may differ from state to state.
If you are effectively forced to buy insurance anyway, Tesla is partnering with Liberty Mutual to offer discounted (supposedly) insurance that takes the cars self-driving and other safety features into account to hopefully give you a better insurance rate.
I agree that USB based 2FA that supports PKCS is better but even OTPs can be secured on the server side. Yubikey sells a HSM (hardware security module) for servers to store OTP keys on.

The speed is actually 985 MB/s not 985 Mb/s. The article was wrong. See https://www.sdcard.org/press/T...
microSD Express format supports up to 985 MB/s not 985 Mb/s.
MB/s is megabytes (1,000,000 bytes) per second.
