Facebook can see that suddenly you started accessing your account from a completely different IP address range in another state, and that your email address was changed to prevent account recovery, and your account switched from posting puppy photos to hardcore porn, and then contacted them to say that you account was hijacked.
If they were still in doubt they could ask you to send a photo holding a sign with a code word written on it, and compare that to photos on your account. They could ask your network of friends about it.
Apple probably did it for the same reason everyone else did - it actually enhances privacy.
There are two ways you can audit clicks on links. You can use the proper HTML hyperlink auditing system, or you can write some horrible Javascript. The HTML hyperlink auditing system can be optimized by the browser for performance, and blocked by extensions, and means you get a real link instead of some Javascript that can't be copy/pasted or opened in a new tab.
By encouraging everyone to use HTML hyperlink auditing it actually improves privacy by making it easier to block and making links work like they are supposed to.
The next step will be to disable the Javascript option. Don't allow OnClick() to rewrite the page URL.
I would never buy another fossil car. Doesn't start in -35C either, when the EV is just fine and nicely pre-heated from my phone.
Too much hassle filling it up all the time, and looking for gas stations when electricity is absolutely everywhere. Why go out of my way when I can just charge at the destination if I need to? No standing around in the cold pumping gas for long cold minutes either, I can go to the bathroom or dine in comfort while it's charging.
Noisy, smelly, it doesn't get a full tank of gas every morning and the gas itself is really expensive. Plus I enjoy blowing slow ICE cars away as they strain and grind to get moving.
Also my remote off-grid cabin in the mountains only has solar panels. I tried caching gas up there but a bear pissed in the can.
At the rate battery prices are falling that won't be true for much longer. It will quickly get to the point where having a complex combustion engine and drivetrain is more expensive to build and maintain, let alone an even more complex hybrid one.
To give an example the Leaf originally came out in 2010 with a 24kWh battery. Now they are releasing the 62kWh model, so more than 2.5x as much range, and it's about the same price accounting for inflation. Nissan are actually not doing so well on the battery manufacturing front either, others are way ahead of them in cost/kWh.
When you look at how Microsoft implemented USB initially it's really painfully obvious that they didn't expect the "surprise removal" failure mode. Not just USB drives, things like USB serial ports would screw up pretty badly if not closed and ejected properly first.
Worst still they decided to use FAT as the filesystem, probably because that's what they had. FAT lacks journaling so a surprise disconnect can corrupt it easily. Their crappy solution was to have two copies of all the important FAT data so usually at least one would be uncorrupted, but of course you had to run fdisk to figure out which one.
Hydrogen cars will never be mass market. They need a huge amount of infrastructure putting in, the fuel is still expensive and difficult to produce cleanly, and they aren't as convenient or cheap to run as EVs.
Many EU countries have already set a date for the end of fossil car sales. China is pushing EVs harder than anyone, and is a major market for Japanese cars. It's really only the US that is lagging a bit, but even there the writing is on the wall with electric pick-ups due in the next year or two.
The future isn't hybrid, it's just a stop-gap and as soon as long range EVs creep into the sub $15k market fossil cars won't make economic sense for most people. Considering we have gone from a 250 mile range car cost $80k to under $40k in about 6-7 years, and the rate of change is accelerating, that won't be long.
They are doing this to try to prolong the production of hybrid vehicles before everyone moves over to EVs. You can see it in their advertising too, attacking EVs directly with nonsense like "self charging hybrids" (aka fossil burners, the last efficient and most polluting way to generate electricity).
They missed the boat on EVs and now all the patents are divided up between Nissan/Renault, Hyundai/Kia and the Chinese. Europe has some too, mostly around the CCS standard that was invented because it's not CHAdeMO.
It's actually a huge crisis in Japan. Their automotive industry is heavily invested in hybrid tech and needs to pivot hard, but mostly lacks experience and patent portfolios. Also they spent a lot of money on hybrid R&D which looks like it will only be valuable for another decade or two tops so before the bulk of sales are EV.
At the moment 4 people can play online together. They promised to deliver what they originally promised regarding proper multiplayer in the next update, but I wouldn't hold my breath...
So are experiments on drosophila illegal or something?
YouTube does ban microwaving fruit flies, yes. I imagine Mythbusters got clearance from the TV network first, but Cody's Lab didn't ask YouTube and I don't think YouTube offers that kind of service anyway.
Cody's Lab was temporarily banned from uploading new videos because he microwaved some fruit flies. Microwaving insects is not allowed on YouTube.
Have you got any *good* examples? There are plenty of fuck-ups on YouTube's end, I'm just questioning he premise that it's the lack of monetization that is causing the problems right now. I'd say it's the copyright enforcement system they are using, and the recommendation system.
Are you in it for the money? You said in another comment you uploaded 18 videos over 7 years, most of "random crap", so it sounds like you are just doing it for fun, not for profit.
It would be nice if YouTube paid you for that, but would you really give up this hobby if they didn't? And is a few bucks really what people need to upload a few hobby videos to YouTube?
Really, the lack of monetized MGTOW content is what has ruined YouTube?
There is still plenty of good stuff on there. Loads of hobby related stuff, from woodworking to cooking to electronics. The lack of money-making MGTOW videos has not has any effect on the quality of hobby videos.
And why do MGTOW videos need to be monetized anyway? It's a philosophical/political movement that people are following not to get rich, but because they believe in its ideology.
Also, why blame YouTube? It's the advertisers who are demanding this. Find some advertisers who are MGTOW friendly and get them to sign up to YouTube's ad programme, or directly sponsor the videos.
An even larger group of people want the freedom to criticise YouTube for its choices about allowed content and recommendations. They demand their free speech and it's very difficult for those who wish to silence them in order to stop their content being criticised to do anything about it.
The group that demands protection from criticism and the "dumb pipe" model of content delivery is extremely small. Then you have the spammers who complain that they are getting hammered by the recommendation and search algorithms, and there is a surprisingly large amount of overlap with the "dumb pipe" group. There is a lot of double think going on there.
Who has high production values and risks getting banned though?
The only ones getting banned are the smaller channels or the ones where it's just some dude talking into a cheap microphone. Once you get big YouTube has actual humans who talk to you and get stuff sorted out.
I first started coding at pre-school, maybe age 4, on a toy car that only had extremely basic functionality. It was enough though, my young mind could understand it and see the possibilities, while enjoying the ability to control a machine.
After that I moved on to BASIC. One of the worst programming languages going by most accounts. But it was fast and free and let me experiment long before I had any formal education in software development.
At age 4 they haven't even mastered the alphabet or basic addition/subtraction yet. Forget about languages, they will be using purely visual representations to learn basic stuff like how a machine can follow a sequence of commands.
Hmm, having multiple cameras pointed out you and recording data and audio constantly is quite likely to affect your attention levels during driving. People behave differently when they are aware that they are being observed.
I wonder if there might be a kind of "uncanny valley" for level 2 autonomy, where it gets really good and lulls people into a false sense of security. AP is currently not reliable enough that people are going to trust it.
Can you name these "prominent leftists"? I keep hearing about them but no-one seems to know who they are, despite their prominence. When pushed they usually turn out to be some kid on YouTube.
"They got that from the government in return for ensuring freedom of speech on their sites."
Where does it say that have to ensure freedom of speech on exchange for protection from liability? And what is the definition of freedom of speech used? Does it include, for example, porn? Does Facebook have to allow porn?
The phone company is just a platform, a carrier, but still has an obligation to deal with abuse on its network. It's also free to boot off customers for a variety of reasons.
Besides, why does everything have to fit the old models?

It shouldn't be that hard.

You don't need that many superchargers. Most charging will be at home or at work on AC.

Gonna have to have an exemption for some people though. Their medicine sets off the breath tests but doesn't impede their ability to drive.

Who is "you lot"?
I'm still trying to work out what misconception you are operating under.
Can you name these "prominent leftists"? I keep hearing about them but no-one seems to know who they are, despite their prominence. When pushed they usually turn out to be some kid on YouTube.
I'd do "why you don't want Twitter to be a public utility".
Actually this video about PewDiePie and terrorism would make a good Ted talk: https://youtu.be/pnmRYRRDbuw
"They got that from the government in return for ensuring freedom of speech on their sites."
Where does it say that have to ensure freedom of speech on exchange for protection from liability? And what is the definition of freedom of speech used? Does it include, for example, porn? Does Facebook have to allow porn?
