He can be proud of the legacy he built, which is something many American founders cannot say with a straight face.

Rest in power sir.

In my experience, folks from a legal/court context who think they can get cute playing the "you can't prove I broke the rules" game will literally void their bowels in fear when the same is done to them by just one skilled hacker, let alone a group of them all focused on a singular task.

The inventory was not done, because the psychiatrist did a simple internet search and found they were a well cited academic who was reguarly quoted by reporters on the subject of computer security.

In a city where you're surrounded by hostile foreign governments, yeeting sensitive data unencrypted into the void is extremely careless. (Especially when you factor in that many folks with clearances used DC OneMedical offices.)

I don't know why you think being acquired by Amazon would make them any better at medicine or information technology OP ;-)

When combined with a comical inability to secure government systems, it's honestly super cute that any federal agency thinks engaging in such dark patterns is in any way, shape, or form going to achieve their goals.

Then cite them

that guy is no longer with the project and does brave now iirc

(it's super interesting to us that two different people took such a wild leap btw)

Delaying from 13 (COPPA) to 16 won't change a thing.

When I was a kid, I was obsessed with Home Alone -- I thought if I had one of those talkboys, I could get some changes made. But in an age where every teen has a recording device in their pocket, I continue to see the kinds of stories that made my blood boil... because when it came time to get the authorities involved they dragged their feet the entire time, if they would even file a report at all, and that inaction is paired with a "zero tolerance" policy on any kind of self defense that sends kids out into the world reluctant to give folks the rightful punch they deserve if they act out (and are entitled to give in most stand your ground states.)

Extending adolescence doesn't solve the root problems here, and conversely, more adults should reread a copy of "1984" and be a little more fearful they're held to the rules and norms they instill on the youth.

i also like anonbib as a central repo for interesting work.

So what happened here is basically... AI told you that something that made you suspicious because you have zero subject matter expertise is suspect?

I'm not really sure how to react to someone who has a robot affirm their anxieties other than to stand by my previous statements and give a polite pointer at some terms to look up on Wikipedia rather than feed into a clanker.

Also, does anyone know of any researchers in the academic world focusing on this issue? We are aware that EFF has a project that used to be named after a pedophile on this subject, but we are more looking for professors at universities or pure research labs ala MSR or PARC than activists working for NGOs, however pure their praxis :-)

As privacy geeks, we have become fascinated with the topic -- it seems that while we can achieve security through extensions like noscript or ublock origin or firefox containers (our personal "holy trinity"), anonymity slips through our fingers due to fingerprinting issues. (Especially if we lump stylometry in the big bucket of "fingerprinting".)

One thing I think we should do is allow Thunderbird to return to the early Firefox model -- it's a stable product, that people can install extensions on. Save for security updates and keeping up with OS quirks, it doesn't need constant tinkering.

I'm not saying they don't need the money, I'm just saying I'm concerned how and why we got to this point.

I thought maybe it could use a capacitor or something? I'm not an electrical engineer -- all I know is we have half the voltage here, and I've seen things like USB plates before -- the older type of USB... and USB C can power a laptop.

So I thought, since the English love their goddamn tea so much, they'd probably have a USB-C teakettle if such a thing is possible, and then I wouldn't need an adapter (if an adapter is even possible for higher voltage appliances like that).

Mine takes four minutes. Minutes are short in the morning in America :-(
