The law allows for jail time, it's just rarely pursued these days by the DoJ because Eric Holder changed their system to pursue 'wins' (fines) rather than criminal prosecution, because the bar for successful prosecution is so much higher to convict someone of a crime.
Can't lose a case if you never try and convict anyone.
Any shortseller with a lot of money would have an interest in bringing them down sooner rather than later.
Their financial trickery was exposed in early 2019 and then was overwhelmingly confirmed by the end of 2019.
If you were trying to make some money on their stock tanking, timing it would have been anywhere from extremely difficult to impossible.
I like your ideas, but how do you retain control of your account?
How do you prove that you are the owner?
If someone manages to log in as you and takes over your account, how do you get it back without giving some method to contact you.
SMS 2FA is insecure because companies implement it in a way that it becomes one-factor.
Forgot your password - reset your password - get an SMS
When there is no second factor involved, it's not 2FA despite people calling it that.
I am not confident that moderators are seen as partners in community building; but rather volunteers to be tightly controlled.
This is really the core of the issue IMHO.
Would you please take a moment to familiarize yourself with the HN guidelines.
Comments about voting are highly discouraged.
Additionally voting is not about your feelings, or even whether you agree with the person. Everyone should vote based on what is relevant to the conversation.
Anything not relevant to the topic at hand should be downvoted. It's not a personal attack, it's a way to clean up the thread to prevent people from reading irrelevant posts that don't add anything to the discussion.
From the comments.. for anyone that didn't scroll all the way:
Before "apologizing", you need to come clean: did you lie?
Earlier, you (Stack Exchange) wrote:
We removed a moderator for repeatedly violating our existing Code of Conduct and being unwilling to accept our CM’s repeated requests to change that behavior.
However, Monica disputed that she had received repeated requests to change her behavior.
Clearly one party here is lying, and much of the community believes that party is Stack Exchange.
So—did you lie, or not? Your "apology" is meaningless until you clean this up.
Monica already posted everything from her side here:
https://judaism.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/5193/stack-...
Or is there some specific piece of information you feel she is withholding?
They said in the article that this wind farm is the size of Malta.
The youtube-conspiracy-style intro video and lack of details does not instill a feeling of credibility.
personally i do change my birthday and mother's maiden name for every service i sign up for.
i make up random answers and write them down in the notes of my password manager. i always try and recommend others do the same.
If it's any consolation, it's common that children labeled 'gifted' early, either don't live up to the label or are affected by the label negatively.
Even in my own adolescence I watched the most 'gifted' child eat batteries and jump off the roof of the school.
I believe that one was the hacker news network (hnn) IIRC
It's only failure if you side with the overly dramatic guy on twitter complaining about non-interactive screens.
Everyone that's been to a shopping mall knows how consistently broken information touch-screens are. Suggesting they put interactive maps in a subway is just silly.
The digital maps are to show realtime service information, train-times, etc. It is an improvement, and if you want a printed map, you can just ask for one at the booth.
The whole "my map isn't in 4k" argument is whiny, at best.
It's not about trusting the encryption, it's about trusting who does the encryption.
If you are encrypting a password store and using the cloud only for sync, you're trusting an encryption standard.
If you are using a cloud based password manager from a service provider, they may be using encryption, but your trust has to be in the company and their employees.
It's a rather large distinction.
In the other article that is posted in this thread it mentions he was kicked out of grammar school at 15 for 'being too stupid'.
Some people are just like that.
I don't follow any of his arguments.
The author suggests that Jira is partially to blame for people who don't fully understand Agile software development. I would argue it's not the software that's the problem.
Bad practice in workflows? If you have a bad workflow, the software is not the issue.. and the author's argument that making workflows is 'difficult', just doesn't hold water with me.
His final argument to steer clear of Jira because physical paper is 'better' isn't even an argument against Jira, it's an argument against all organizational software.
I never knew there was jira hate before this posting, and only leaves me wondering 'Why all the Jira hate?'
The criminal division of the IRS is most certainly armed, as well as equipped with AR-15s, and are trained by Army Special Forces contractors.
I'd like to recommend the book:
The Myth of the Rational Market by Justin Fox
If businesses started creating child companies (for any reason) it would result in substantial job creation.. so this sounds like a win-win to me.
These days, I believe all auto manufacturers that make three wheel cars (peugeot, etc.) .. make them with two wheels in the front.
I believe the majority of three wheel motorcycles are also made this way now as well.
Personally I've felt this has been in the works for some time.
If you look closely at how the founders exited facebook, and what was said at the time, it seemed (to me at least) that they left over exactly this.
I mean, that aside, can you really come up with many other operational arguments that would result in people walking a way from hundreds of millions of dollars? (or by some estimates leaving over a billion dollars on the table between the two of them)

Not only was the second incident not related to AirBnB, but in both incidents you describe, having cameras would not have provided any value.
I would say this is only tangentially related to the real issue, which is how collected data is used.
There is a huge difference between the scenario you describe, where a company is using your data in an attempt to help you improve your life (save money). vs. A company who takes your data and uses it for profit-generating endeavors that you did not willfully consent to.
I've been in this situation before.
The unsubscribe process ends up taking hours of time because now you need to find 1-5 books to get before you cancel.
It's also frustrating because they won't allow you more than 5 credits, so if you have 5 credits, they will take your monthly payment and give you nothing in return.
Worse still is if you click on the wrong thing on Amazon it will re-activate your audible account automatically. I've had my audible account accidentally re-activated multiple times and not noticed (my amazon email goes to a non-primary email)
All in all I've made many payments with max credits and gotten nothing in return, purchased a ton of books that I'm only partially interested in, and actively cancelled the service at least 3 times (including being forced to waste time shopping for books to complete the task every time)
If you don't see this as a consumer trap, it's because you haven't tried to get out and stay out yet.
Since there is nothing available but speculation, I'm going to put my money on a network issue.
To get your phone to act as a stingray, wouldn't this require two antennas?

But we know how this revelation happened.
One of their "language experts" (subcontractors) shared the recordings with the news media.
He did this because the recordings he was concerned about were of people who didn't know they were being recorded or talking to the speaker.
This article and your comment manage to spin this entire story into Google talking points.
