Someone should set up an exchange website where people can do look ups for other people in exchange for them doing requests on their behalf. All the person being checked knows is that some random person they don't know made a request.
Wage transparency is great for so many reasons. As well as preventing the kind of abuse you describe, it also makes it easy to get a fair salary without heavy negotiation, and be sure you aren't getting screwed over.
As a result it also tends to drive down various pay gaps (gender, ethnicity etc). Some people claim that such gaps don't really exist, but the fact that they are reduced in countries with wage transparency disproves that.
Instead of tab groups you can just use bookmarks. You can bookmark groups of tabs info a folder, and then middle click that folder to open them all again.
Tab groups was a nice idea, I used to use it, but performance was terrible. Firefox was taking 30 seconds to open and become responsive even with only one tab, until I realized that deleting supposedly frozen tabs from tab groups would speed it up. Apparently bookmarks are the only way to really close tabs and free up their resources in Firefox.
When researching stuff I tend to just make notes. I've been using OneNote in the past because everything else seems to suck more than it does, but bookmark folders and draft emails to myself work well too. Also Google Docs.
I used to have tabs open for a year or more, but then I'd find that the web site had gone or the content had changed. So now I just copy/paste the important stuff into a note and a link back to the source.
Then I close the tabs. They get stale, I move on to other things... And if I didn't make a decision in the first session or two, I'm probably not ready to and need to leave it a while before coming back later and starting fresh. Old tabs just become mental cruft, slowing me down and making me feel bad for not processing them in a timely fashion.
I think it's impossible to judge in this case, because we don't have the full facts.
What is hinges on is if the woman in question fully consented and how Garfield treated her. It's entirely possible that it's all perfectly innocent and the use of the world "allowed" by someone who likes to roleplay an extreme male dom/female sub lifestyle is just a poor choice of words.
But on the other hand, if there is any issue there than Drupal could have legal problems. If he used allowing her to contribute to the project as part of some kind of abusive relationship, they could be caught up in any resulting lawsuit or prosecution.
We don't have enough information to know if they made the right decision. Maybe they were being over-cautious, acting unfairly out of fear of legal problems. Maybe they have more convincing evidence of something being wrong that they have no published.
There does not seem to be a good solution here, the system has no way to adequately deal with it.
It's important to distinguish why this situation is bad and others, like the whole Mozilla/Eich thing, are not.
In this case, it appears that the person in question was involved in entirely consensual relationships. I haven't studied it in detail so I may be wrong about this, but my understanding is that it's basically a consensual master/slave relationship that is private and doesn't seem to have affected his public interactions.
In the case of Eich, he was trying to harm other people. He was trying to force his personal beliefs on them.
In other words, as long as it doesn't harm anybody, we should be accepting of them. And in fact, it's not really any of our business. That's absolutely the cornerstone of the LGBT community and progressive movements.
I'd like to see self-encrypting drive support. Windows has had this for years now, and it's great. SSDs that support it will accept a key from the system, and use that for encryption with 0% performance loss (they encrypt by default anyway, just with a random key they generate internally).
I think the kernel supports this now, it just needs enabling and maybe some kind of UI (because this is Ubuntu, after all).
It's best to use a service like CamelCamelCamel to view previous prices. They offer email notifications if a price drops below a threshold you set too, but be aware that they sell the thresholds you set to third parties. Not your email address or identity, just the threshold, so sometimes you will find that companies offer products at the exact price you wanted after setting one up.
It amazes me that someone has the knowledge and skill and desire to run a dark web illegal market, something which many others have already been caught and sent to prison for decades for, and yet they don't bother to learn the most basic elements of security.
Somehow they read through all the documentation about setting up a dark web site, full of warnings about how seemingly minor mis-configuration can compromise the whole thing. They got systems in place to handle payments between users, with some sliced off the top for them... And yet didn't think to use a dedicated, secure email account or encrypt his own computer.
This must be one of those cases where something is/too/ easy to use.
Not a fan of when companies get in the 'arbiters of free speech' business. It's either within your TOS or it isn't. You're either responsible for all content or none.
Legally they can be responsible only for removing content when it is flagged up to them, but in practice there is commercial pressure to actively look for it from advertisers.
'Without free speech no search for truth is possible... no discovery of truth is useful.' -Charles Bradlaugh
Agreed, but expecting commercial services like YouTube to be an absolute free speech venue is not realistic.
They do need to be really careful, reserving this for only the most blatant material.
There has been a spate of trolls submitting fake complaints of extremism and spam against videos they don't like (ContraPoints, Shaun & Jen and H.Bomberguy have all been hit that way) and YouTube's appeal process is a joke. In fact it usually only gets reversed when someone messages one of their staff on Twitter.
On the other hand, as soon as the prices crashes there will be a flood of cheap high end GPUs on the market. Trick will be getting one of the later ones that hasn't been run hard 24/7 for months.
In fact they do pick at random. The trackers throw in a few random IP addresses and the tracking services don't bother to check if they can actually connect and download the data in question from them.
You have to remember that the trackers are not motivated to do a good job. They don't bother with forensic quality evidence, they just spam as many people as possible and rely on some percentage of them panicking and paying up. If it gets as far as court and the defendant actually shows up, they almost always lose.
It's $10/month in the UK for streaming (Now TV), but the quality is shit so I subscribe and then torrent a high quality copy to watch. VPN prevents tracking.
0.3ms round trip per burst, but you can't determine position and velocity with enough accuracy to aim with one burst. You can try to get multiple bursts on the air at once, but that introduces its own problems. So basically your round trip time is the limiting factor on how fast you can send out bursts, which is multiplied by how many readings you need to determine position with enough accuracy to aim a laser.

You want then to publish evidence relating to what he does in private? Seems like not publishing is the right thing to do here.
Your to-do list has over 1000 items on it?
Russia has already announced the roll out of hypersonic missiles on ships.

Have you tried bookmark folders? I really can't see much practical difference between then and tab groups, besides the thumbnails.

I'm surprised it's as long as 5 to 6 seconds. I'm gen X and my attention span for ads rounds down to zero.
That was randomly hostile.
It must mean something when you get personalised trolling on Slashdot though.

Sub 5 second boot times though. Some of us like to turn stuff off when we are not using it.
There isn't any profit in that so probably not... But you could maybe write a scraper and make your own.

Removing their own SDK is fine, removing the open source SDK base don the discovered PS4 jailbreak isn't.

I don't have a Now TV box and never tried the app... I've never actually watched it.
I normally just cancel immediately after subscribing, same as Netflix. They let you have the remainder of the month.
