Dead Comment

layoutIfNeeded commented on Ask HN: Is domain squatting still profitable? Is there a solution?    · Posted by u/9387367

I’m surprised comments are saying it isn’t a thing. I was reading another thread a few days ago and people were saying it was very much a thing still and .com names were going for insane prices and limiting opportunities for real ideas and websites to be made.

I feel like there should be some process where you have to put a real website at the domain name in a certain time period or you lose it. And I mean a real website not those godaddy placeholders. It’s just another rent seeking scam like we get in real estate without something like that.

Ummm… You know, domain names have use cases other than hosting websites. It’s just a mapping from ASCII strings to IP addresses.

> Apple has decided to scan images on your phone.

I wonder what would be the defense to apple if they decided to scan the images on your desktop / laptop as well. Is there a limit to how intrusive tech companies can get?

Ummmm… I have bad news:

“These features are coming later this year in updates to iOS 15, iPadOS 15, watchOS 8, and macOS Monterey.

At this rate Apple is no better than Xiaomi or Huawei: using forced labor to make their phones; produce phones in China; biggest market is China; checking your phone for violated content. Maybe time to switch to Xiaomi, it is 3x cheaper and better tech.

Better tech, not really. Otherwise it’s accurate.

would you not report unsolicited child porn to the FBI anyway?

Don’t talk to the police.

And that includes the FBI.

Is there anything stopping them from using an actual cryptographic hash, though?

Ummm… the fact that changing a single pixel will let the baddies evade detection?

We also saw HN shadow banning entire IP CIDR blocks because they didn’t like argument against fleeting CDC guidance that was put forth or the Chinese lab origin theory in 2020. You can’t register from these CIDR blocks. If you had an account before the comments would just end up in a black hole. Dang can explain.

@dang is that true? :O

If you really believe this will stop at child porn, then I have a bridge to sell you.
