The answer is that you don't have it entirely dependent on your account. You have a business account with an account manager, and while any one dev who's linked to your account may get banned, your account shouldn't, or at the very least your account manager would be able to re-instate it because they know the relationship.

The reason this is being built for roro cars rather than traditional cargo is probably due to the logistics.

"I told you so", hash functions will be reversed.
few years ago people laughed at it, thinking hash functions are immune from analysis. All these cryptowallets are insecure, if you believe that it will take a quadrillion years to bruteforce a hash its an assumption that is
dependent on current computers and now quantum algorithms make this assumption suspect for all hashes, regardless how quantum-proof they're.
I've used this project, but it's been a while: https://github.com/joeyates/imap-backup . It's a CLI app, though, so it's maybe not the best solution for non-technical end-users.

Some email providers have IMAP import, where you just give them the password and they'll do it for you. Not the best solution in terms of security but might be ok if you're getting rid of your account anyway.

> Fear of anti-competition lawsuits and complaints.

They could just create an open source variant that suddenly shows up top when people search for QR or barcode scanner. It would be in their best interest, and it would not violate any anti-competition laws, nobody can demand to see how these apps are ranked I guess?
Right, I'm an avid user of F-Droid and a large percentage of my apps come via this route. The trouble is that I have found that QR code scanners are very significantly different in both their feature sets and in their ability to recognize different barcode/QR code scans.

That's to say:

(a) The time for a given barcode to be accurately detected varies considerably from app to app.

(b) And various apps have different detection capabilities with respect to one another (i.e.: the detection performance varies from app to app depending on the contrast across the barcode image, camera focus or lack thereof, etc.).

(c) For a given app, the detection capability for different types of barcode scans can vary considerably.

For that reason, I have five different QR scanners installed including SecScanQR that you've mentioned and the one with the same namesake as mentioned in this Malwarebytes article.

It seems there's a great deal of variability in the detection algorithms between apps. Unfortunately, from my experience I've found that some of the commercial apps have better detection performance than those on F-Droid—but granted that's only from my limited testing. Which app I use sometimes depends on other features, for instance, the fact that it has a better database or export ability, etc. is more important than the fact that it's insensitive in the detection department.

I wish someone with more knowledge and experience could give others and me the good oil on this. Reckon it'd save us considerable time experimenting.
Google already kind of practices this feature, it's just that the "reputation" part is external:

Being aware of bias is in no way the same as being unaffected by it. In fact you can imagine the possibility where being aware of a bias allows one to believe that they are unable to be affected by it and thus pay less attention to whether their thinking is flawed.

> South Africa is unique in the sense that there is a strong problem of racism and violence by black people against white people

This is really disturbing nonsense, it's little more than a projection of your own racist ideals. Criminals terrorize everyone, regardless of race. If you say white people are disproportionately targeted - please advise with links to meaningful, objective publicly available data so we can discuss.

The dangerous myth of farm murders

To any thinking person, doesn't that sound strange? A ridiculously small percentage of white south africans are farmers, why would criminals not bother with wealthy white people in Sandton, Umhlanga and Clifton, not bother upper, lower and middle class white people in the cities and suburbia (the people I work with) and go straight - with racist malice - to a narrow subset of white people who are farmers of all people? Why is there news of this being racially motivated? Is there evidence of this being racially motivated thing rather than criminal motivation?

If anyone has objective answers/links to discourse that transcend the black people bad - white people good narrative, I'll be happy to review.

> * GDPR/Privacy laws (The law requires the deletion of no-longer needed data. As soon as his account gets banned, the data is no longer needed for Googles business purposes (of providing service to him), so the deletion process can't be delayed.

This is simply wrong since the account is always "banned" and not "deleted". So the data is still there, not providing it is going against GDPR. Evidence for this is all the accounts that were unbanned and still had their data. Make the account read-only for all I care but don't think for a second that this data has to be deleted immediately (It definitely does not, there are reasons and reasonable ways for data to be retained for some time)

> * Untrustable employees. Google tries not to trust any employee with blanket access to your account. That means they couldn't even hire a bunch of workers to review these accounts - without being able to see the account private data, the employee wouldn't be able to tell good from bad accounts.

But somehow accounts get unbanned if they get enough attention... so this does not seem to be a problem.

> * Attacks on accounts. There are ways for someone who doesn't like you to get a Google account banned. Usually there are no logs kept (due to privacy reasons) that help identify what happened. Example method: Email someone a PDF file containing an illegal image, then trick them into clicking "save to drive". The PDF can have the image outside the border of the page so it looks totally normal.

So simultaneusly you can look at the image to ban the account but can't look at it to unban it? I get that the first one is done by algorithms and the second one presumably is not but calling this a privacy issue is laughable since you don't have to look at the content in the first place.

All of your points don't adress the issue of "The user does not even know why he was banned" at all. Luckily there are EU laws in the pipeline for that.

I'm actually doing that currently. We have a large database of company records compiled from different sources. Naturally, some of those records are duplicates. We have cleaned the data as much as it was possible using algorithmic approaches, but that only gets you so far.
To go the last mile, we added widgets to the pages showing similar records where users may click "same company" or "other company". Poll results are aggregated and values above a certain threshold create an entry in a verification queue for our staff to look at.
This works out surprisingly well for now.

Having been through this myself, my own experience:

Going from being ignored in nightclubs, and have people tap my shoulder if they needed to get past, to having people instead slide their hands over my pecs or stomach or pat them to get past (both men and women suddenly started doing that), getting my butt pinched half a dozen times a night, and having half a bunch of random strangers who also lifted weights want to high five me for no reason.

I'd never had women pick me up in nightclub before, as opposed to having to be the one to approach. Afterwards I did. I had random women want to make out with me within minutes of meeting on many occasions. Of course not all of that is necessarily down to the change in my appearance - it's very possible some of it was also down to my increased self confidence, but either way the difference was massive.

Looks and confidence are of course by no means the only things, but it's a multiplier, and you can up that multiplier significantly by lifting weights.

Sorry I couldn't disagree more, mobile devices were little more than mono function curiosities, app stores, love them or hate them, opened that too a whole new market where many software providers have made money. You can cry all you want about the Google and Apple profiting on it but there really wasn't any alternative before.

And who hosted the discussion boards, companies? You can host one now if you want but if too many people actually used it the group think thought police would be all over you. That's why companies stopped hosting forums or comment sections, rarely worth the hassle.

The email spam issue is a problem. I'm not sure the solution for that because people are going to expose their email address and the spam torrent is real.

Still I totally understand the OPs point. It's a hassle to start with, especially using a general purpose distro. The interoperability of Jack and Pulse reminds me of Windows ASIO inabaility to utilize shared modes. Yes, there's the PulseAudio-Jack Bridge, but that one's really unstable.

So looking at Pipewire, let's hope for it to make Pro Audio and Consumer Audio interoperable on Linux. Because I really like the flexibility of Jack and the PulseAudio way of user experience.

While not as extreme as what is demonstrated here, I integrate things in my environment with Lisp in a way that is similar to this. I run StumpWM too so I can grab the content of the current X selection and do actions from it (e.g. the content matches a JIRA ticket regex, open it, the text matches a filename, edit it (fun fact, anything can be a filename), etc.).

I don't think this is fair. There is trust in the British people/buisness, then there is trust in the government

As a _people_ we have worked together to do wonderful things.

The government has done one good thing, and one brilliant thing, and many many stupid things.

The good thing is job support. Its not perfect, but its almost at a par with the wider continent.

The brilliant thing is taking a risk with the various vaccines. Paying for doses regardless of outcome makes sense. The cost of the unused doses/useless doses is nothing compared to the loss of 1 million jobs.

But.

The lifting of the second lockdown. The in inability to monitor isolation, the inability of the tracing infrastructure to predict winter. The sheer vindictiveness of the late third lockdown.

40% of all deaths happened because Boris wanted to "save" Christmas. He couldn't stomach the decision to cancel it, even though it was obvious from october. He dithered, dithered and dithered until there was no choice.

I can forgive the first lockdown lateness, we didn't know. Second lockdown not so much. Taking councils to court to force them to re-open schools even though the local hospitals were running at 190%, un-fucking-forgivable. I say this as someone who is vaguely right of (british) centre.

In short, its not an embarrassment of being british. Nothing of the sort, I just wish that our political class would stop tarnishing our country by being so terminally shit.
I've had this conversation with my my mother a few times.
America and South Africa are very similar, both historically and their current trajectories. We suffer from the same cultural "deadlocks" which seems nearly impossible to escape since nobody seems willing/mature enough to have a calm conversation about our shortcomings and how to fix it. There are also systemic/administrative governmental deadlocks which frustrate the problem further. A very common scenario between both countries is the huge difference between the rich & poor and between how gov operate vs how people live.
Funny how Microsoft's including a useful tool for you know, getting on the internet, with their OS was the subject of an anti-trust suit just a few decades ago and now it's ok to force users to purchase all apps from the apple store, which takes 30% from every company wanting to sell an app on iOS.

Bit of a strange target for outrage. Almost all of the streaming services listed are paid for by subscription, purchase or taxes. So the "pay what you wish" model for some improved ergonomics is not unreasonable. The minimum price is $3.99/year, of which the team gets $3.50.

Or if that's too much, get stuck in. How many minutes of your time would you value at $3.50?

What I try to do for my application, all offline features are free and features that talk to the backend are paid. Of course that won't work for every type of application. The idea is that only paying customers generate any cost (aside from bandwidth to serve the application resources).

For example, full-text search would be paid features, while a simple search that can be done reasonably on the client would be free.

You don't need to provide this publicly if you do not have any billing in your app, so no IAP or paid apps. They might just not verify it though.

Problem is, the platform is a vector virus that causes immunity against the vector. So while you can create a new vaccine for the variants, you either cannot reuse the vector or you can't vaccinate old-variant-vaccinated people against the new variant. The body would kill the vector too quickly, limiting exposure to the payload too much.

In that respect mRNA vaccines or live vaccines have an advantage.
Oh, you’d suggest that they just let them expire instead?
Many other companies of similar size manage to provide customer service just fine.
