<p>There is no way for police to know if the traffic came through tor, or was initiated by the owner of computer/server. It seems reasonable that the police have the right to investigate.  If not, anyone could run a tor node to cover up their own criminal activities. Even if you did have logs suggesting it was tor activity, should we trust someone’s claim that the logs are proof that it was someone else?<p>It would in fact be negligent if the police did not properly investigate the server/computer/house of the device.</p>

<p>Serde json has 3gb of dependencies once you do a build for debug and a build for release. Use serde on a few active projects and you run out of disk space. I don’t know why json parsing needs 3gb of dependencies.<p>I’m all for code reuse but Serde for json is a bit of a dogs breakfast when it comes to dependencies. all you need is an exploit in on of those dependencies and half of the rust ecosystem is vulnerable.<p>Rust should have Jason built in.</p>

<p>Yes, i don’t understand why anyone would ever enter real personal details into any website unless it was absolutely required for correct functionality of the website. Is it older people having a more overall general trust of institutions? or is it all ages that do this?</p>

<p>I had always assume it was generally to do with having the highest obesity rate for English speaking developed countries. It is interesting to see other factors thrown into the equation. I am curious, how relevant is (for example) gun violence as a percentage of tje total number?  I also had never considered the healthcare system as a factor.</p>

<p>Not that I agree with it, the argument about “reverse sexism/racism” is that the judgements are based upon the identity group as a whole not as an individual. When taken in aggregate it is deemed that the smaller group is the one discriminated against.<p>The answer to this is to argue that it’s incorrect to take an overall statistic and apply it to an individual or smaller organisation in that group.</p>

<p>The problem with making it a crime (it probably already is a crime) is that the blame will be placed on the developer when it probably was not the fault of the developer.<p>In these types of situations I’ve been in, usually the developers already complained, and it’s really not the fault of the developers.<p>This creates this weird situation where developers have to do more and more to protect themselves from situations like this.<p>It doesn’t take more than a few seconds of thinking to realise that google should have made some kind of way for authentication to be transitioned over. Even something as simple as sending out a “transfer” email link or even just an api that squat space could have called to allow customer transfer verification.</p>

<p>When it’s a security review and something is on paper, there is now documentation of potential liability.<p>When it’s just a random staff member complaining they want to do something that makes it harder to onboard customers, there’s no proof of incompetence, and incompetence can still be blamed on the developers.</p>
