Also some comments have "you're absolutely right" in them
Also missing (I think) are anecdotes about previous experiences involving famous people or just memorable moments in history.
Also comments where the poster shares details from their own life instead of just commenting on the topic.
But I can't really describe this "human Factor" any better than through examples.

I love that this very point is in fact one that it generated against itself!

Spooky…
Really spooky, all comments are LLM based and something certainly feels off, but can't quite put my finger on what it is.
I think it has to do with comments that doesnt really comment on the previous comment.
Certainly one of the more interesting uses of LLMs in a while.
I wouldn't be so quick. Everybody gets hacked, sooner or later. Whether they'll own up to it or not is what makes the difference and I've seen far, far worse than this response by Checkout.com, it seems to be one of the better responses to such an event that I've seen to date.
> Like, how many other deprecated third party systems were identified handling a significant portion of your customer data after this hack?
The problem with that is that you'll never know. Because you'd have to audit each and every service provider and I think only Ebay does that. And they're not exactly a paragon of virtue either.
> Who declined to allocate the necessary budget to keep systems updated?
See: prevention paradox. Until this sinks in it will happen over and over again.
> But mere words like these are absolutely meaningless in today's world. People are right to dismiss them.
Again, yes, but: they are at least attempting to use the right words. Now they need to follow them up with the right actions.
Well said, ideally action comes first and then these actions can be communicated.
But in the real world, you have words ie. commitment before actions and a conclusion.
Best of luck to them.
I work in rail safety. Two major non-Chinese train companies attempted to merge a few years ago, explicitly to build a company that could compete with China's national company, and provide safer alternatives to state-sponsored cyberhacking of Western rail.
It fell down to an anti-monopoly decision by a single person in the EU ministry, who killed the proposal. Several attempts were made to streamline the merger, but she wouldn't budge.
As a result, CRCC continues to win contracts abroad, largely (it is believed) by undercutting competition. IP theft is known to be one objective of their at-loss or low-profit contracts (I've been involved in fighting that, specifically).
It's hardly a stretch to imagine that having control of the rail in countries that might oppose you militarily is strategically huge.
This article is about busways, but the parallels are obvious.
Not sure why there are no specifics, but for anyone interested this seems to the merger that was denied, along with the reasons why it was denied.

Doesn't Brave disable WebBluetooth by default via a flag?
Brave indeed does block WebBluetooth by default, but it can be turned on by the user using flags.
It's by no means a new feature, but the privacy concerns outlined in this post are still valid 10 years later: https://blog.lukaszolejnik.com/w3c-web-bluetooth-api-privacy...
sharken commented on How I bypassed Amazon's Kindle web DRM blog.pixelmelt.dev/kindle... · Posted by u/pixelmelt
I have more than 100 books that I bought with actual money on Apple's iBooks (or whatever it was called back in 2010-2012). I no longer use an iPad and would like to be able to read them on my Kindle. Because of DRM, I can't. I'm all for supporting authors and the various editors, etc., but I feel like I've already done that in this case.
It should be put into law, that when you buy something, you have the right to do with it what you want for personal use.
In the present case, Amazon clearly states that the customer is buying a book, so it should work the same way as buying a physical book.
One solution would be to buy a DRM free digital version.
> (3) Not more than 35 percent of its total weight shall be composed of sugar, including naturally occurring and added sugar. This paragraph shall not apply to fruits, vegetables that have not been deep fried, or a dried fruit and nut and seed combination.
wonder who'll be the first to argue that HFCS isn't sugar.
Take your pick, could be either one of: Coca Cola, PepsiCo, Red Bull, Ferrero, Kellogg, Kraft Heinz just to name a few.
That aside, I think the law is a great step in the right direction for the US.
Hopefully it can be expanded across the US.

A metaphor: I once played in a D&D campaign where a player tried to create an extremely overpowered but technically legal character. His justification was that he would only use the extreme powers in moderation, so it would not be unfair or unbalanced. But why would he ask for such unprecedented powers if he didn't intend to use them?
I understand the metaphor, but there is a huge difference between a D&D player and an entity such as a government.
For starters the government is not in the habit of releasing these new powers, once it's established it will stay for a very, very long time.
And you can be sure the new powers will be used in unintended ways, which the citizens will have a hard time blocking.
So it's actually very simple: No to Chatcontrol, now and forever.
