Not a huge one, but it is only free for personal and non-profit use. “If your notes contain content directly related to work projects or processes for a greater-than-one-person company, then you require a commercial license.”
Since it is on flathub and they don’t really nag you, I am sure there are people who aren’t really aware.
You could upgrade to OS X on the colorful ones, I installed 10.0 on release day and got an OS X tee shirt and wore it to school because what was I thinking. It was fun times. I remember having to open Emacs to make some system change to better support IRC in Ircle and I had no idea what I was doing but it was Unixy!
Google mentioned these in their explainer (they don’t like that they’re fully masked): https://github.com/RupertBenWiser/Web-Environment-Integrity/blob/main/explainer.md#privacy-pass--private-access-tokens
Cloudflare explains them more too: https://blog.cloudflare.com/eliminating-captchas-on-iphones-and-macs-using-new-standard/
They are currently going through an IETF standardization: https://datatracker.ietf.org/wg/privacypass/about/
You can also read the architecture. In general I do trust Cloudflare more than Google. I have no doubt shitty sites won’t fall back to a captcha and will instead block access though, with either solution.
Warmer southerly waters, which are saltier and denser, flow north to cool and sink below waters at higher latitudes, releasing heat into the atmosphere.
Then, once it has sunk beneath the ocean, the water slowly drifts southward, heats up again, and the cycle repeats. But climate change is slowing this flow. Fresh water from melting ice sheets has made the water less dense and salty
This is the premise for the 2004 film The Day After Tomorrow, itself based on the 1999 book The Coming Global Superstorm (co-written by Coast to Coast AM radio host Art Bell). Not a new concern, I think the change for these guys is trying to put a timeline on it.
Would’ve been nice if they explained it a bit more.
For example, California has some civil laws covering such things due to paparazzi using technology, but the key with those is the intent to capture people’s activities: https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/codes_displaySection.xhtml?sectionNum=1708.8.&lawCode=CIV
The BBC has an article about it too.
Canada limits caffeine content in beverages to 180 mg per serving. Prime and Celsius have 200 mg, this seems to be a relatively common amount for new drinks that are popping up in states. Prime, at least, is also not released in Canada yet, so any version out there is the stronger version.
I was surprised when I discovered the Canadian limits, in the states many drinks are 240 mg and some even 300 (always marketed as super extreme hardcore).
It is also still somewhat controversial, among a small subset of people.
It is an identifier but not identification. Nobody will accept it if proof of who you are without other documentation backing it up. A passport or drivers license generally does not have that sort of limitation (the physical card is most often presented for employment to verify legal work status, but not who you are).
Plenty of people are terrible using their real Facebook or Twitter accounts. L
I think this would be difficult in the US. The US doesn’t have a national id except for the passport, which probably a majority of people do not have. There is a strong cultural resistance to a national id, I expect this would translate over to the internet very strongly, so any centralized verification system would be unpopular from the beginning.
Absolutely.
I just find this sort of article kind of pointless. Response to a situation in one place was drastically different than a response in a completely different place involving completely different people and agencies with their own different priorities. I don’t think it’s all that illuminating in any global way, except it shows the priorities in one of those places aren’t great. A commentary on the same agency (or even country) responding differently to rich and poor would be more meaningful, but I think the US Coast Guard was pretty proactive when Cuban refugees were crossing in makeshift rafts (a commentary on the difference between US and Greece in those much more similar situations would be interesting, but wouldn’t hit the rich/poor or anti-immigrant angle).
It did. I checked their opensource repo and it looks like they removed it in 10.15. The shell was also tcsh at the time and the terminal, I think, defaulted to black on white. Everything about it was unfamiliar to a Mac user, it felt like an old library Dynix system.
