Section 2.7b states:

"Registrar’s registration agreement with each Registered Name Holder, shall also
include the following:

(i) a provision prohibiting the Registered Name Holder from distributing malware, abusively operating botnets, phishing, pharming, piracy, trademark or copyright infringement, fraudulent or deceptive practices, counterfeiting or otherwise engaging in activity contrary to applicable law and providing (consistent with applicable law and any related procedures) consequences for such activities, including suspension of the registration of the Registered Name

(ii) a provision that requires the Registered Name Holder to acknowledge and agree that Verisign reserves the right to deny, cancel, redirect or transfer any registration or transaction, or place any domain name(s) on registry lock, hold or similar status, as it deems necessary, in its unlimited and sole discretion:

(1) to comply with specifications adopted by any industry group generally recognized as authoritative with respect to the Internet (e.g., RFCs),

(2) to correct mistakes made by Verisign or any Registrar in connection with a domain name registration,

(3) for the non-payment of fees to Verisign;

(4) to protect against imminent and substantial threats to the security and stability of the Registry TLD, System, Verisign’s nameserver operations or the internet,

(5) to ensure compliance with applicable law, government rules or regulations, or pursuant to any legal order or subpoena of any government, administrative or governmental authority, or court of competent jurisdiction, and/or

(6) to stop or prevent any violations of any terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Operational Requirements, or pursuant to Verisign’s Registry Agreement with ICANN; and

(iii) a provision requiring the Registered Name Holder to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Verisign and its subcontractors, and its and their directors, officers, employees, agents, and affiliates from and against any and all claims, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses, including reasonable legal fees and expenses arising out of or relating to, for any reason whatsoever, the Registered Name Holder's domain name registration. The registration agreement shall further require that this indemnification obligation survive the termination or expiration of the registration agreement."

So basically Verisign has full authority to do whatever it wants regarding .net TLD domain names in order to prevent crimes and bad behavior, comply with laws, correct errors (who defines what is an error), and collect fees.

Many people are upset with these proposed changes because there are no recourse procedures outlined for domain holders.

If you hold a .net domain which you paid for and have been using for years and they decide that you are doing something they do not like or someone else claims ownership rights for your domain and convinces Verisign that they should have it, your domain can be forcibly transferred from you.

If you disagree with what they do, too bad.
What's up with the presenters' audio? Either they all have a lisp, or something is not configured right. It sounds like they're saying 'Starschlip' instead of 'Starship'.
If your bad guys can get high enough to sever your cable, they can get high enough to do a kinetic or powered bombardment and cause magnitudes more damage.
> Mullvad could have been, and maybe even still is, lying about how they operate

Could they? Sure.

Do they have anything on me?

* One BTC transfer
* IPs where I'm connecting from (if they are lying and storing them)
* My traffic (if they are lying and storing it)
* My unencrypted traffic (if they are lying and storing it)

Do they have ... on me?

* Email? - nope
* Phone number? - nope
* Credit card? - nope
* My first name, family name? - nope
* My address? - nope
* My mother's maiden name? - nope

Because I never provided it to them because they never asked for them.
I understand perfectly. Defamation doesn't have to have damages to get an award, you only need to show that it occurred. Based on dominion's financials the don't appear to be impacted financially nor in the eyes of the public either.

What you're failing to understand is that things like this are very muchn out of balance. I'm not saying fox should be less, I'm saying those knowingly in violation of national security export restrictions should be punished more.

There's a big difference between "you said lies about me" and "I sold equipment to our enemies". That you missed that point is sad.
Russia already has been a hostile nation for more than a decade and will try to do as much damage as it can without incurring additional retaliation anyway. Nothing changes here.

Besides after more than a year of war this is an interesting but purely counterfactual analysis without much relevance for today.
> go to an elected judge

FWIW judges in Canada aren’t elected, and neither are federal judges in the US (some state judges are).
I don't understand why go after the VPN, I think most people don't use a VPN correctly.

What good is a VPN when multiple apps on your computer are phoning home?

If the law has a suspect IP, couldn't they just ask google, microsoft and facebook what accounts were accessed with that IP?

To use a VPN correctly wouldn't have to use a fresh OS and absolutely not login to any accounts connected to the IP you are trying to hide?
Shutting down my legal torrent site after 17 years
I ran Legit Torrents for ~17 years and shut it down recently. The homepage is now a nostalgic look back at that time.
There's going to be a lot of these frivolous lawsuits as lawyers try to extract cash from the ignorant and gullible before people understand what deep fakes are. I only hope that the judges in these cases are technically informed enough to not set stupid case precedent.

There were lots of different slaves, with lots of different treatment. You cannot count a few examples and extrapolate to all slaves.

>How does an ex-slave treat slavery "fairly"? He lived that shit, he knows how despicable it is.

He can exaggerate how bad it was for one thing. It is well known that people's memories are not exact to what happened, and it is likely he would remember dramatic incidents and not the day to day reality.

Try reading "uncle tom's Cabin" - a book that was written with the intent to start the civil war to end slavery. Despite that intent to presents a picture of slavery that was in general much nicer for the slave owners.

Don't take anything of the above as statement that slavery was good. Only that it wasn't in general as bad as what you see on TV.
They're probably better off just flying into a building again.
I'm confused by your sarcasm. A one-time physical mailing can be incredibly anonymous.
It's wild but true, the best steaks are out in the suburbs
Fox negotiated with Dominion lawyers not the US govt. Former government employees sliding into positions at Fox is irrelevant to the amount they paid. Dominion is a for-profit company so obviously they wanted to wring the most amount of money they could out of Fox.

An audit is always just a point-in-time (or possibly periodic) snapshot.

A VPN company is also not a monolith: They have servers literally distributed around the globe. Ensuring physical security for all of them is not trivial, and I doubt that their auditors have visited every single data center. This is to say nothing of global traffic correlation capabilities of state-level actors; access to their servers network uplink is all that's needed to deanonymize many connections.

Besides that, they have human staff as well, and while it's possible to distribute permissions and require four eyes for all important changes, there's always loopholes in a complex system.

I have no reason to doubt that Mullvad is being truthful about any of their efforts or aspects of their service, but even if they're not, this is by no means equivalent to absolute security.
Why not Vaultwarden?
From the ruling.

> [56] As for the possibility of suing the author of the Defamatory Post for defamation, the Plaintiff was advised by a lawyer in Town B that he was time-barred because, under [State A] law, the action must be brought within one year of its appearance, regardless of when the victim of the defamation sees the publication.[2]

> [57] The content of [State A] law in this respect is uncontested by the parties.

As for the owner of the website, it's a bit more unclear. It does say that the plaintiff corresponded with the website operator.

> [62] The email correspondence shows that Mr. Magedson asked Mr. T. U. to provide documentation from a police authority showing that the Plaintiff was never the subject of the kind of charges alleged in the Defamatory Post, a Kafkaesque reverse-burden demand to prove one’s innocence.

> [63] If that information were to be provided, Mr. Magedson stated that he would be willing to insert a statement that RipOffReport investigated and concluded that the post is not true. He said that the Defamatory Post would not be removed but certain words would be redacted.

> [64] Mr. Magedson said he never takes down a report posted on his site. In his last email to Mr. T. U., he signed off ominously with the following sentence, “We will all be blogged – good or bad, right or wrong – WE WILL ALL BE BLOGGED” (reproduced as is).

> [65] Mr. T. U. testified that he abandoned the correspondence with Mr. Magedson since he lost hope of obtaining satisfactory relief.[4]

I think it's because the 1 year from time of appearance also holds.
I hate to disappoint you, but it's actually really boring. The people who work on this stuff care about the security of NPM packages. That's the whole story.
Notice the "Schwarzkopf" killer in the 4th screenshot, a useful tool against the notorious "Saddam" virus (which could be activated simply by inserting a disk into your Amiga).
I've noticed a lot of IT departments want to have an internal appstore from which users can install webapps. So it's not necessarily for the end users but the device managers, where those are different entities.

I agree with you, but my understanding in briefly reading this case is that the plaintiff (via their 'lifelong friend' Mr. T. U.) interacted with Google; not a judge with a ruling. But perhaps I'm missing some part of it.

The correspondence with Google begins at line [66]

> This is why only a few people are capable of running companies. The reality of profit and loss - aka “math” - is too much for most people.

Who are you claiming here is capable of running a company because the reality of profit and loss isn't too much? The person receiving over $3m in bonuses despite the her company "needs to make money and apparently isn't"? It sure seems to me like she's one of those people who "still want bonuses".
Probably wants to get out of the threat of regulatory crosshairs for revenge porn laws via AI generated images.
Doesn't square: they already trusted it before removal ("trust too much"), so the only difference is that fewer people will seeit if it's removed
> So I figure that authorities still obtained a search warrant to atleast see what data they can get their hands on and to verify that this is true. In that case, it doesn't really illustrate any disconnect.

They also need to follow process and make a reasonable attempt to follow a lead.

They can’t just read a company’s website, assume that no evidence exists, and then give up on that line of exploration. Note that in several high profile cases, companies have publicly claimed to not be storing data but later been found to have incriminating logs.

It would be irresponsible for them to not follow up with Mullvad, despite what they advertise.

It doesn’t make sense to suggest that this is a disconnect with law enforcement.

It's all plain RSS feeds from a variety of over 180 sources atm. no Twitter input whatsoever (at least right now). Trends are basically determined by item views (popularity on the site itself)...
Thanks. Amusingly, searching for spacex launch on YT gives tons of copycat channels with crypto-scammers running a loop of what looks like Musk on zoom call. (the same thing that was shown on LTT when their channel got taken over a few weeks back). It made me think the spacex account had been taken over by crypto scammers.
They have a lisp. The guy who presented the fuel a few seconds ago sounded just fine but he had a deeper voice.
Below are the purposes in 2.7(b)(ii). Note that the prior agreement already included purposes 1-3, but 4-6 are new.

>We allow people to have children and do their own finances, both requiring a lot more education

How finances require more edu than one of the most advanced machines that constantly change the world, for decades?

Finances for 99% of ppl may be just: be careful with spending, prepare for bigger spendings and maybe tax filling? Thats it? You can even invest money into the stocks with just 15min tutorial.

Meanwhile computers from 0 to just web browser, email, etc is way more.

>Compare it with buying a random electrical appliance. The law requires basic safety and compatibility. People are not required to be electrical engineers to buy a lightbulb, even if the device is capable of burning down your and your neighbour's house. The process of replacing the bulb is consumer friendly enough and almost any human can do it. There are fuses for when things go wrong. I'd like to see the same thing apply for computers.

Light bulb??

Compare OSes with similarly complex stuff like cars.

They are definitely not user friendly and require a lot of training to get shit done
That seems like an entirely different use case.
In the article it says Google stopped removing the links because of a CA Supreme Court case on an "unrelated matter". It's not unrelated. It's Crookes v Newton and it said hyperlinks aren't defamatory:

https://bc-injury-law.com/supreme-court-canada-clarifies-hyp...

I'll save you some time: Defamation in Canada requires: "(1) that the impugned words were defamatory, (2) that the words referred to the plaintiff and (3) that they were published." And the court said linking is not publishing.

So Google stopped removing the links at his request.

In fact you can make the page to send you the damn image, and it supposed to be, if you use some extension to modify your user agent and lies to imgur your are using curl something.

> The thing that keeps them in "space" is the acceleration with which they were originally launched to orbit the Earth, which slows down such falling process.

It would be more clear to say that what keeps them in space is that they're moving sideways so fast.

Velocity, not acceleration, is the right term here.
Tons of image tutorials from Reddit will probably be destroyed.
This reminds me of when Photobucket wiped tons of contents which were used on old forums.
Freedom applies to both parties. Your freedom to swing your fist ends where another's nose begins. Similarly, your freedom to baselessly disparage and slander has similar restrictions, because the other person has the freedom against such attacks.

Libel is very restricted in the United States as well. Indeed, the whole "section 230" argument that keeps getting revived deals specifically with this topic (paradoxically by the "freedom" party), so clearly your "freedom" isn't quite as absolute as you imagine it is.

Further, Google was ordered to restrict the content in Quebec, and the fine they are paying is a tiny fraction of the money they make in Canada, which is a country where they have offices and significant business. I see zero reason why you decided to make this American centric.
> Technically they could have been logging your traffic

Of course they “could have” but their entire business depends on them not doing it.
Getting to 100km or even 200km is easy. Staying there is hard.

80% of the energy in a rocket goes to adding sideways motion.

An elevator upto GEO adds enough energy (taken from the earths rotational energy) to your payload to get it into orbit. If you let go lower down you need to add sideways velocity.

In LEO you on an elevator would be travelling about 1,400mph and need to get to 18,000 to get into orbit. Sure there’s no atmosphere to work against but it’s still a lot of fuel to use in a rocket.
>> You don’t own your Domain on the ICANN internet - and yes, that sucks.

True, but how should disputes be resolved?

Under this proposed change, if Verisign decides to cancel the lease for your .net domain, what can you do about it?
It's important to recognize the role that platforms like Google can play in facilitating that harm.

What if the website containing harmful content is hosted on a Russian server that ignores DMCA takedowns and there is no way to remove it?

What if the majority of traffic to that website comes from Google, should Google not take any responsibility for promoting that content? Or should Google take proactive measures to prevent harm, even if they are not the source of the content?
That’s assuming you can’t say detonate a bomb inside the cargo thus resulting in vastly longer section falling down.

Space elevators are inherently create a new safety risk as cutting them at geosynchronous orbit only takes compromising some security and building a modest bomb. Both of which are achievable by terrorist organizations.
How does that reduce the 30 minutes of focused attention that the oral evaluators will have to spend per candidate?
That’s not a good comparison. I’ve been to both. buckingham palace is a working palace with very limited access. Versailles is an open museum. On my last visit to Buckingham palace, I got timed tickets and went on a limited tour with about 20 people. As we walked out the front, there were thousands standing outside looking at it.
I want to use this website to see what it thinks MCO was like when I was there last, because I suspect it will say it wasn't as congested as it was, but it doesn't seem to let me see historical data. How are you seeing historical data?
More like part 2,000,000. It's an unsolveable problem. To Imgur's credit, it lasted longer than I thought it would.
I've contributed patches to Make, such as the support for grouped targets in a regular direct rule (not pattern). I receive the mailing list and sometimes answer questions.

Many years ago, I transplanted the process image saving code from GNU Emacs into GNU Make. I keyed that to a new option in make, --dump, which would save the executable image and quit after reading all the makefile material, instead of executing them. The resulting executable would come up with all the Makefiles already in memory, and so dispatch the build very quickly.

This was on a project where reading the tree of Makefiles took 30 seconds. If you touched some C++ file in the tree, it would take half a minute to begin to dispatch the command to rebuild it and then link. With the dumped image, it was nearly instant.

OMG, I just found the code for this. I thought it had been lost for 13 years. Turns out, I have the whole damn SVN database from that folded startup, of the Linux distro and toolchains stuff.
You're believing your echo chamber hype. The only people who believed it was people who already wanted to believe it.

Because we heard 4 years of Russian collusion lies repeated almost daily. No matter how many times they were proven to be lies and the people who were predisposed to believing those lies believe them even more and the people who were not were not swayed by the lie. The issue with Dominion Fox News is exactly the same. The lies spread by Fox News were only believed by the people who already wanted to believe it.
In which world should fabricating an interview with someone be anything other than fraud and potentially libel?

The stupid precedent is "you can say that anyone said anything (even damaging things to them) without facing any consequences".
This doesn't have anything to do with deep fakes.
At what frequency does the signal travel between traces and not on it?

Is it a feature size thing, the macroscopic size of the traces that are effectively transmission lines (that cant be, most pcbs are smaller than \lambda?). Or is it a skin effect of the conductor?
The world's melting ice has surprising impacts. Can you guess them?
In theory. But Google (and all other "platforms" like FB and Twitter) crossed the Rubicon of curation when they went along with suppression and curation at the behest of agencies around the world.

This "but they're mostly an indexer" argument has not been valid for a very long time. If you want them to be an indexer (and I believe they should) call your local elected representative and have them push legislation defining the "platforms" a public utility following whatever principles of free speech are relevant in your jurisdiction.

And stop pretending Google doesn't already suppress information
This is not how police work anywhere. There would be an entire legal process for this.
False, they should be responsible and they already are.

Google does not link to pirated content. If and when they do, they take it down when it's reported. As they are legally required to do.

Google may remove personal information as part of the "right to forget" EU directive. Death threats. Calls to violence. Revenge porn. As they are legally required to do.

Google will remove CP/underage harmful content as they are legally required to do.

Google may take down insults to the king, gambling sites, drug traffic sites, and all kinds of local legislation.

Besides strictly illegal content, Google also censures content that might be technically legal yet considered distasteful or widely recognized as harmful: porn, terrorist propaganda, gore, etc.

Google is not above the law, it can't do whatever it wants.

Should it censor your political speech? No. But that's not what this is about.
Back in 2018 had just gotten a surprise extra TV from my friend for Christmas. Now we had a 48in tv and a 42in tv. I wasnt sure what to do with it, I wanted 2 TVs for my 2 monitor setup(PC + Wireless mouse and keyboard). My wife cared about appearance more than anything. This was quite contentious.

We happened to take MDMA for the first time(at home) and we talked about the TV situation. We figured out a way to have both of them in the living room and make it look good.

We were so impressed that we ended up designing our backyard landscaping after that.
