>Why do they have geolocation data in first place? For what and how do they use it?

Having set up a Coinbase account (although I haven't actually used it...yet), they required me to provide documentation about who I am, where I live and prove it with a government issued ID (in my case, a driver's license). As such, any transactions I process through my Coinbase account can be tied (and presumably information about them provided to law "enforcement") are tied to the identity details I provided when creating such an account.

I always use TOR when connecting to Coinbase, so their IP logs don't have any Geo-location information about me.

That said, once I actually purchase some crypto and use it to purchase stuff (cannabis) that's actually legal in my state, but transportation across state lines is illegal.

As such, if the recipient of crypto (even if -- and I will -- I move Coinbase purchased crypto to my own private wallet) is investigated/arrested and the wallet used to accept my crypto, the purchase side of that transaction can absolutely be traced back to me, from the "drug dealer's" wallet, to my private wallet and back to Coinbase.

Presumably that can be foiled through "mixers," but I'm not sure if that could obfuscate a single transaction as I describe -- perhaps someone more knowledgeable could comment on that.

That's (IIUC) how the blockchain is supposed to work -- all transactions are public. Assuming that some government entity wanted to prosecute the customers of the above hypothetical "drug dealer," obtaining court orders for Coinbase crypto accounts wouldn't be hard at all -- as the argument would be that there were illegal transactions and we need to identity of those involved in such a transaction.

IIRC, there was an article[0] (this isn't the one I read, but has the relevant info) a while back about HSI finding purveyors of CSAM[1], and those who paid them with crypto were traced through the public blockchain -- and arrested/charged.

Presumably, there are limits to how much manpower would be applied to a few packages of "Dope Rope"[2] or an ounce of "OG Kush"[3], but if you purchase crypto from a legal entity, they can (and under the right circumstances, will) be compelled to provide information about you when presented with a warrant/court order.

The upshot is that unless there's some way to obfuscate blockchain transactions (Mixers? See above), there's nothing to stop government entities from forcing legal exchanges from giving up their customers' PII, which they already have -- no special tools required.

Being anti-Hitler and anti-Nazi is 'political' now? They're simply acknowledging the reality that Nazism was an absolute, unmitigated disaster - even, and most surprisingly, for those who might have foolishly expected to benefit from it. That's what those apologetic attitudes are about. If you really wanted to draft a relevant political message from the whole Nazi thing, it would have to be "how the heck do we avoid falling into this awful trap again". The premise of Downfall is not good for that. The film mostly sticks to the historical sources - the crazy, delusional rants that everyone loves to make memes about actually happened, Hitler really said those things. He was quite weak in those circumstances.

Some VoIP providers offer custom incoming call routing based on whitelists or other criteria.

For example, you could port a number to VoIP.ms, and (in their terms) set up a caller ID filtering rule based on phone book entries, with the those entries managed either through the web form or API. If you wanted known callers to reach your mobile phone instead of a VoIP phone, I imagine you could use a call forwarding rule. Unknown callers could be routed to a busy signal, voice mail, a "not in service" message, or handled in a variety of other ways.

Starlink chose the 100mbps threshold over trying to satisfy the lower speed threshold because the higher threshold makes their business plan viable (it lets them get $$$ government funding for providing high-speed rural connectivity).

They don't get kudos for failing to meet the standard they're required to meet as a condition of the government program they need to make their business work.
LASIK is a one and done operation performed under the careful supervision of a doctor, and it has been tried and tested hundreds of thousands of times.

The probability of failure for this device is nonzero and and increases the longer you wear it. The failure modes are potentially disastrous, and there's likely no medical personnel nearby to intervene.

I wouldn't worry about it not being recognized. Much of artistic inspiration is not attributed, as cross pollination is the norm. Once an artist makes something, it ceases to be theirs and becomes its own creation. Most of the time artists don't even realize where their inspiration comes from.
Is the reason for that actually technical, or is it that U.S. numbers/datasets are the most attractive targets for scams (i.e. due to the supply of victims, access/availability of data, ease of not having to worry about i18n/l10n for your scam tactics, etc.)?
It is my understanding that the American country music industry employs much more specialization of labor (e.g. performers / lyricists / composers are all different people) than other American genres, so I generally expect the quality to be higher.

My sister and I both love country music. My dad is very vocal about how much he hates it, but his reasons have nothing to do with the quality of the music - they are purely cultural. Country music is part of the South, and like any member of respectable Californian society he believes that the South is evil. This does not leave room to enjoy Southern music.

But I suspect that overseas they are more likely to view country music through the same lens as "America", having no specific concept of "despicable Southerners".

I upvoted you because I'm also skeptical about the object-level claim, but this is a little dramatic:

You're missing the point of a representative democracy. Under your logic congress could create despot agency and invest all of its congressional powers in to it and never bother actually representing its constituencies.

This is not about EPA enforcement of a congressional regulation. This is about the EPA both inventing the regulation and then doing the enforcement of it. Specifically about a large scale impacting regulations and then enforcing. If Congress mandated environmental guidelines that must be met in a timetable and enacted those regulations for the EPA to enforce the supreme Court would have held that as okay. The EPA is not acting with clear delegation from the representative body.
Either way, the Coinbase employees are now involved with this. They helped build this, they are in this. The discussions may be silenced but "politics" isn't. It's not possible to not be political. This is a great demonstration of that.
What's the problem of Logitech with Bluetooth?

Unrelated to this issue, I bought a Bluetooth audio-to-analog out dongle to stream to my speakers, only to find out that I could not disconnect any paired device from it. It automatically connected to any paired device if the other device's Bluetooth is on. The moment I forcefully disconnect it forcefully connected again. I searched the web to see others' exact same issue and Logitech was shamelessly marketing this stupid bug as a "feature" that "keeps devices connected" with no way to disable it.

I've quit using it, and never, ever recommended any Logitech product again to anybody.

All of the above. Country is heavily influenced by African American gospel and blues, but also the hillbilly roots you described. It's a fusion genre and that's beautiful.
It seems to be situational. I use an MX Master 3 with AirPods semi-regularly with Bluetooth. I won't say I never have Bluetooth peculiarities on that computer--but I have transitory Bluetooth issues on other computers as well. It's not a general incompatibility problem in my experience. (Doesn't mean it's not an issue.)

So, that's 280px at the widest part of the display, and a total of ~62k pixels, right? There's a decent amount you can do with that, but I think even the demo picture in the PR shot's probably ambitious for the amount of data this can display.

I had a similar problem with my desktop, via a USB Bluetooth adapter. In my case I have both a Logitech Bluetooth keyboard and mouse, while the desktop sound was connected via Bluetooth to an Amazon Echo device.

The way to solve this was to replace my old Bluetooth 4.0 USB adapter with a newer Bluetooth 5.0 USB adapter. The problem disappeared and never came back.

Bluetooth 5.0 has a wider bandwidth and can more easily work with Audio and HID devices.

In that thread people are using built-in Bluetooth adapters so I am afraid they will never completely solve their problems.

And by the way, the numbers "1 2 3" on the Logitech mouse are not "bands" as some on that thread believe. They are just different pairing profiles.

Are MX products incompatible with AirPods or is it the other way around?

I’ve long suspected that there is nothing terribly special about Tesla. They were simply the only EV brand. People didn’t have much choice if they wanted an EV. They succeeded so much because they sold EVs.

Yes the Leaf and Bolt exist but they’re not exactly close to Model 3 performance. And not well known at all compared to Tesla.

Without the edge of being the “only” company with EVs is there any reason to think they’ll be big much longer? I’m not saying they’ll go out of business. But they may end up more Genesis than Ford.

They have some advantages like they seems to have the most efficient tech, they’re best at OTA updates, and have a relatively strong battery supply ready.

But is that enough given they’ll be competing against EVs from the entire industry?

We’re about to find out.
The content I replied to implied that the article was a submarine advertisement for pills.

I think the person you're responding to was talking about Bitcoin L2 chains, probably more specifically the lightning network.

I actually agree with that about Bitcoin.

Web3 is generally done on EVM or cosmos chains, some of which are L2s (and some of which are loosely considered L2s). But most of them are still separate chains, so not L2s in the sense that the Lightning network is an L2. If you're looking at EVM chains, then L2s are certainly required to handle significant throughput, but the "lack of transparency" mentioned by GP isn't an issue with them.
> the idea that renting out a property for a non infinite period of time should be impossible is ??? to me

Nobody proposed that, especially for individual landlords with one property. However they do propose that a tenant can stay if there's literally no reason why not. Protecting tenants from unreasonable treatment, just like you have to make sure the electricity is safe, mould won't give them lung damage, roof doesn't leak, windows aren't broken etc.

> I think one should absolutely be able rent out a flat for a year whilst working abroad. Or to rent out a house whilst saving up to renovate and move in.

Under proposals I'm aware of, nothing would stop you renting out your flat for a year, or while saving to renovate. You aren't running a long-term housing business. You have a good reason.

Section 21 is when there's no justifiable reason. "The landlord doesn't like men who wear earrings / how you position the sofa / that you bring a girlfriend over at night / that you put up a shelf / you don't dust twice a week" type reasons, obviously not said or written.

Some landlords kick people out who ask for essential repairs (despite those being covered by the tenancy), as a sibling commenter said. Some corporate landlords want a certain "look" for the type of people in the property. Credit rating dropped? Getting old? Goodbye.

Try to think of older people who are settled and would buy if they could, forced to move every few years, have few choices locally, and daren't decorate and repair as they would like.

For some it means moving children to a different school where they lose friends and perhaps can't continue a key subject. Or moving far from their elderly parent's home, as I said. They can't lay "roots" in the community. And for the lower paid, moving costs months of discretionary income. That sort of thing is a huge issue and stressor.

Those burdens should only be imposed when there's a good enough reason.

> But actually 2 months has never been a huge issue when i've been renting,

It's not about the notice period. It's about being made to move, yet again, for no good reason. Summed up as "security of tenure".

(That said, in my experience it can take longer than 3 months to find a suitable new place. Once I was technically homeless (couch surfing) for a couple of months while hunting. I had the benefit of being single; imagine that with a family. In one town it took 35 viewings to find somewhere, and a lot of time off work. Many times I accepted a place, only to see it go to someone else who beat me to it.)

AirBnB is fine, if you can handle the work (it's hard work). Your wealthy guests will happily choose somewhere else if you run it badly. However if you want to run a business providing long-term housing to people who need it, there are standards.
My sense was that stock options became unfashionable after the dot-com crash. That is at least why I assumed Apple switched to RSUs. There may have been other legal reasons though.

I was introduced to this music in 2009 or so and it's been a consistent part of my musical diet since then. I remember reading the blog post about Music from Saharan Cellphones and the method of getting the songs. I found this relevant comment on the Sahel Sounds post from 2010:

Why are you shocked? In the capitalistic society there is no reason for Logitech to ensure compatibility with airpods.

No squeaky wheel? No grease.

In fact, they probably bet on users giving up and buying the Logitech equivalent wireless earbuds.
The way I see it in the workplace or any other facet of life: Any activity between two adults, where both adults are of sound mind and consent to the activity should be legal. If someone wants to sign up to work in a dangerous environment for $1/hr, so be it, as long as the risks and terms of payment were communicated and understood by both parties.

Theft is not consensual, therefore it wouldn’t be legal in a laissez-faire regulatory environment. Worker exploitation also would be illegal, if the employer broke the terms of their agreement with the worker.
> What if nazis start saying that they love "mainline" branch because it's meinline and that reminds them of Adolf. Ok lets remove mainline.

You see, the thing about culture is that it's rapidly evolving and not necessarily rational (which is perfectly fine). If the word "mainline" would become associated with nazis commonly enough, I'd definitely want to avoid its usage despite of there being nothing wrong it, just like I'm not going to use swastikas just because it's an ancient symbol of well-being. So no, "blacklist" isn't racist, but if we can reduce the ugly associations that our language may be implying, then insisting on not doing that surely doesn't present you in a good light.
Perhaps the focus is always like 5 feet in front of you?

Yeah as of now I think the SSR capabilities of NextJS and NuxtJS will serve mostly for the first paint, it will also allow a user to navigate between pages without running JavaScript (which a SPA wouldn't). I do have to agree though that at a certain point thinking further than this about non-js users becomes too cumbersome and not really worth it if your application is truly a web _app_ meaning very interactive and to the point it could be bundled as a desktop application.

I'd like to note that Remix does handle everything being tied to a single logic as far as my testing went, I love it. The idea is that basically all interaction is done with html forms (like in the old days) and Remix loads a React bundle that makes that run client side after the page has loaded. It's a very simple model that should work for most use cases, although I don't think it's suitable if you're truly developing a web _app_.

As with everything, balance is key. JavaScript is useful and more appropriate is some situations, and it's not in others. I do hope to see more progress with seamless SSR for SPAs though, I think it would make the internet a much better place.

One obscure law from 70 years ago that only prevented *reads wikipedia section* about 5000 people in a country of millions from working at a very specific place, is this really the best defense of your claim ?

>Don't attend, then. No one forces you.

There is a certain audaciousness to the idea of making a parade a public month-long occupation of streets and public squares then telling people they can not attent if they want. The only thing missing is for you to tell the GP to "Make Your Own City Bro" if they don't like what their city is doing.

I can equally say, "Don't attend the UAE then. No one forces you." but I have a feeling you won't take it gracefully.

Anecdata, but I’ve had a terrible experience with Logitech mice on all sorts of Macs over the years - both Intel and Apple Silicon. Bluetooth is almost always a non-starter. The Unifying dongle works, but you’ll need to keep it physically close to the mouse. Unfortunately, Logitech also makes my favourite mouse - the light-weight G Pro X wireless.

Their software is atrocious, too. Steermouse to the rescue, thankfully.
