wtf?? You are willing to hack into whatever you want no matter what some foreign government has to say about it? That's basically a declaration of war.
Everyone else? The only place I know of where you can see the entire history of a post is stackexchange. It's a great idea, but definitely not mainstream
I am under the impression that usually body cameras are continuously recording- when they get "switched on" they then start saving- as well as the previous minute or two before the turn-on. If these are not designed like that it is a huge flaw.
Um, yeah. We call Monopoly money "money", and it *is* money, in the context of playing Monopoly.
Everyone also knows coconuts and almonds don't lactate, and yet nobody thinks selling coconut milk or almond milk is deceptive, because they *are* milk in the context of "a whiteish fatty liquid I want to drink"
Maybe they could even do this under the new law- "we DO have ticket agents in every state- in fact, there is at least one on every train!"
The only problem I see with that is that a ticket agent / desk helps with scheduling and whatnot- maybe that could be replaced by pamphlets or posted schedules at the train station?
In true slashdot fashion, I comment before reading the article.
If the carbon gets fixed into the soil, how does that change the soil chemistry? It is something that can be done for a couple of years, and then the soil is saturated and can't support life any more? Does it deep down with the water and poison the ground water? I hope that it would be something that could be useful, and not an egypt-sized carbon landfill.
It appears that because Nevada already had established sports betting pools, it was grandfathered in. Or it might just have been an exception that lawmakers had to concede to get enough votes to pass it. Who knows. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
Oh they have done that. How do you remove cash from an economy? You make it inconvenient to use for large purchases, then small purchases. You make digital transactions the de facto standard. Pretty soon it is hard to find anywhere to use your cash. At this point is when they deal the final blow and get rid of cash completely.
Which is why nitrogen is a much better idea than carbon monoxide some people are suggesting: you can just vent out the nitrogen to wherever, but carbon monoxide is a serious poison
That's a pretty good example. What I imagine would be better is 1. I plug my phone into the car 2. My screen lights up "unlock phone for USB connectivity" 3. I unlock my phone, and authorize the usb. Then it stays connected, even if my phone locks again. If I unplug and re-plug it, I can unlock the phone again.
Is there any reason not to have an option to keep USB restricted mode unless the device is *currently* unlocked? Or it has to be unlocked within the last 5 minutes? What use case is there where you want to connect USB to it but cannot unlock it? (Aside from, of course nefarious purposes)
I always wondered why we don't hash client-side *and* server side. Then the password would be the result of a hash, as you say, and it would also be stored properly.
Being hashed client-side also means the server doesn't have to worry about too-long passwords or bad characters in the password or anything; it just expects the result of a hash. As long as the thing it receives is (say) 256 bits long, it's good.
What would be your proper price point for a subscription that gives you unlimited access to music?
Would that change if the current Spotify price happened to be $30 instead of $10?
So often, people's desires happen to be "whatever the current thing is, only half". I definitely had this opinion before I took a step back, calculated what I would be have been spending otherwise on music (my substitute would be about an album a month), and decided that the $15 spotify family plan was actually a pretty good deal for me. Maybe you and other people have already done this analysis.
I don't know if it is feasible to demand an api for media data which the copyright holders will demand DRM, but spotify already has an API for everything else- I get the impression you can do *everything* with the api- skip tracks, get information, tell it to play certain tracks, but have the music actually play through their DRM software. So, 90% of what you want.

Oh hey you can see where this is going. Congrats

DuckDuckGo also adds its referral tag to Amazon product URLs in search results.
That's cool! I will now do more of my amazon searching through DDG to help support them.

I agree
All they'd have to do is charge the news outlets for listing their articles. Problem solved. Lol.

Thanks for explaining the joke to everyone
The scenario that US secret ballots attempt to mitigate is rather vote buying, not coercion. Although they are very related. And I think you would be very naive to assume that neither of those could ever happen in america. there is no reason why it wouldn't happen more if we didn't take steps to make it infeasible, like secret ballots
I guess counterfeit money is money!

If there is a conviction associated with it, then it is criminal forfeiture and not civil forfeiture

Team Fortress 2, Rocket League, etc- you buy them, they have cool cosmetics in them, but do not change the gameplay. Yes. Good.
If a lootbox gives you an advantage in the game, it is not good.
Simple as that.

Fair enough; Spotify does not give you access to all music, but for the music it does have your access is unlimited.
A new world will NOT solve the problem. The media will just hijack it like they have in the past:
I dunno, a new world might just solve the problem. But seems like too drastic a solution to me.

Official Spotify API
Of course there is a python library for it too
