They do get permission. Every cookie, bit of JS, etc was sent to your computer as a result of a GET request from your browser. Every bit of information they receive is sent to them by your browser. Your browser is silently volunteering to let you be tracked. Why don't you fix it or replace it?
...it's ok if the law says they aren't allowed to do it without even more work to get permission from every surfer.to get permission from every surfer.
Most "surfers" don't want the hassle and are happy to be tracked. That's why the browsers default to silently cooperating with tracking. Why do you want to use the law to force your choice on them?
Is it? The fraud was discovered and the registrar has been blacklisted. Furthermore, you could be using Perspectives if you wanted to: it would have detected this.

I use Google but I have no Google accounts and I accept no cookies, scripts, or ads from them.

If you're on a social network and have zero emotional attachment to the people you're networking with, you got some even bigger issues.
Read what I actually wrote.
By your logic I should also not get upset if I get locked out of my email account, since that too is a freebie offered by a company making money on advertising.
Correct. If your email was important you would not make it reliant on a promotional giveaway.
It's really quite possible that they already know exactly who you are so they have all the info they need,
Then they would already have known that Violet Blue was really Violet Blue. This and other cases indicate that they (and Facebook) haven't the foggiest idea exactly (or even approximately) who you are. And don't care.
I don't think that this can be invulnerable and I think it opens up some DoS opportunities, but it looks pretty robust to me. I'll be interested in what Bruce Schneir has to say.
That might not generalize to old farts (which is to say, I no longer grow muscles carrying groceries into the house). There were things I could do then that I would not even attempt to do now, for fear of damaging myself in some dire way.
I used to be that way (I also suffered from an unpleasant chronic illness). Then I worked up to my present exercise program slowly and carefully, backing off (but not quitting!) when I detected the onset of joint damage. I now have a waist-hip ratio of.9, an ideal BMI, a resting heart rate in the mid fifties, systolic blood pressure below 110, and a 2 minute recovery after maximal exercise of more than 40 beats. I also take (a lot of) fish oil and am on an SMNS diet.
And after reading both of Gary Taubes' books, there seems to be good reason for that...it is very difficult to engage in extended vigorous exercise without "working up an appetite", which tends to defeat any caloric deficit from the activity.
Your exercise was not vigorous enough. Really intense exercise reduces appetite. Try, for example, an interval training regime consisting of eight one-minute sprints seperated by one minute of brisk (100 steps/min) walking. The sprints should be run all-out, so that your heart rate reaches at least 80% of your maximum and you are left breathing as hard as you can. If you are young replace the walking with jogging.
You're right that exercise alone is not enough, though. Try the SMNS diet. It works.
BTW I know someone who completely cured his type 2 diabetes with diet and intense exercise.
The universe is a bit larger than just this one planet. There is a lot of matter out there. A lot.

And therefor a single point of failure.
Yes, once government has control of that "one authoritative source" you won't hear about this sort of thing any more.

Because they can't actually tell that "Jane Brown" is or is not a "real name". They can only tell that it is a plausible one.

Let's do away with leap seconds first.

No need to read any further.

WTF?
Young, aren't you?

Or with their mind.
Intense exercise reduces appetite. It also counteracts depression, which is a cause of overeating.
...you could ignore the whole issue and gamble that a pill that has the same effect will be invented soon.
> does this explain the missing mass...
No. Theory predicts these objects.
> Hundreds of 'em within a 40ly radius?!
They are very small for stars and don't really account for much mass.
(At least traditional companies). Software is not a product (and no, it isn't a service either. Supporting it is a service.)

Think about that next time you demand more "privacy" laws.
