    Maybe free market principles apply here: if Anubis fails to reduce scraper/bot load on servers, or blocks too many desired users, then the sites that adopt it would probably scrap …

    Americas Homer would be a film director. Maybe Coppola? Edit: Someone below mentioned Ford, also a good pick

    1. The tax is not pegged at the sale price. What prop 13 actually does is limit the amount of appreciation the state can recognize for tax purposes. 2. There are lots of states/cit…

    I mean, people already do pay property taxes on homes? So this isn’t a very good retort.

    Do you have kids? Did you let them grow up the same way?

    How big of a challenge are hardware faults and radiation for orbital data centers? It seems like you’d eat a lot of capacity if you need 4x redundancy for everything

    Ad tech doesn't need this feature to know roughly how old you are.

    https://support.google.com/families/answer/7103338?hl=en Google's policy is that under 13 you can have a supervised Gmail account. I think that's fairly standard for major provider…

    Setting your age 8-12 probably bans you from using Gmail and other online services

    Yeah the most likely thing (for the California law, at least) is that compliant OS's expose a form at account creation where you input a birthdate or age, and have either a CLI/fil…

    Yeah if you have admin access to your device and know what you’re doing it’s basically a non-issue. I’m guessing a savvy high schooler can change their age bracket easily. If you w…

    The law says the user provides the birthdate or age and the bracket is derived from it

    Comment #47569968

    The brackets are a few years wide, so it could take a bit of waiting. But yeah I’d consider setting a slightly different day/month for a child if I was paranoid. I guess you could …

    You’d need some script that updates the age category based on the user’s provided birthday (which is not shared with the applications) but otherwise yeah

    I believe the California law (which has passed) requires operating systems to collect the DoB or Age of the user when setting up a user account, and then expose an API that shares …

    It would be nice if the site cited the regulations and costs that make the different facilites impossible — are they outright banned? Are there environmental regulations that don’t…

    I mean, I’m even more skeptical that Palantir or its customers were concerned about killing former members or supporters of the Soviet Union prior to 2009. The focus was probably t…

    I'm a little skeptical that Palantir pre-2009 (when Joe was there) focused on communists at all
