I think Google can never really hope to disrupt itself. The entire company is oriented towards selling those ads. So any other internal division that tries to eliminate the ads division is going to have a very uphill battle.

IMO the industry is ripening for disruption and someone will come along with a new idea for how to incentivize content generation and it will very likely continue to involve some heavy commercial marketing.

The state asserts its sovereignty and backs up the claim with the consensus of the people and a lot of guns.

A sovereign citizen makes the same claim but fails to convince or compel others to agree.

They very well might believe in some god-given authority but that's not how any of this works.

But maybe an SC will uncover a deeply hidden loophole someday and win an argument. The law affords them the opportunity to try.

Don't run down right after hopping out of the shower

Thank you for the well reasoned insightful post

This is the wild power of branding with good marketing. Gillette figured out how to hack an entire generation's brain into believing they need to spend $40 bucks for a small pack of razor blades that will be dull within weeks.

Amazing. Let the sheep be sheep and keep your eyes open to more cases of this.

I'm pretty sure Genshin has made similar billions and they give it away for free.

Pay to win seems to be the ultimate business model.

GTA 6 is just going to be client app to a universe of micro transactions. They should probably just give it away free.

Stand your ground

Plug it in?

This lawyer got so much free advertising out of this. He's probably got clients booked out for years now.

So much this here in Bangkok as well, and in addition nobody has any clue which side to walk on.

You are constantly approaching head-on with a pedestrian who doesn't know where to walk and weaving around wandering groups that wall 3-4 people wide.

Damn you're right

This is a funny article and kind of reads like the reporter just discovered the "hacker" community. Is it a scare piece for uninformed readers?

They highlight a social media post where some cybercriminal is selling username/password lists for crypto.

I don't know if it's common knowledge or maybe I hang out in weird places but there's a whole lot more of this on the internet and has been for as long as I can remember.

The reporter goes on to allude - although doesn't say exactly - that the accounts require 2FA at the banks to grant access so they aren't actually compromised.

But then the reporter goes on to say the usernames and passwords might give "initial access" which is bad, but didn't really explain what that is.

I guess the real news is that these credentials were stolen with a keylogger. What kind of bank IT system doesn't have better malware blocking?

*Edit brb gonna drop some USB thumb drives outside their headquarters office building with sexypics.exe on the root and see who installs my malware

Slashdot also let mods mark comments as funny, insightful, spam, etc.

As a reader you could sort by these and read it for the laughs or read it for the education. In hindsight that system was ahead of its time.

Why do you think slashdot didn't become mainstream?

Seems pretty obvious that the White House doesn't want the average consumer to know they are paying the tariffs

I was in San Francisco last week and got to take Waymo several times. Truly a surreal experience and if properly implemented seems like it's very much our future.

Here's another take. I think some people would never act cruel towards their equal yet they can easily act cruel if they believe another human to be someone less than their equal.

This is why during war times it is common to develop nasty names and personas of the individual enemies.

If Google randomly decides to terminate my account for some reason and won't tell me why or allow me to reasonably appeal, I'm screwed.

GDrive, my YouTube, my play store purchases, my Gmail going back since forever, and even all these 3rd party sites where I used "login with Google" could be instantly toasted and irrecoverable.

I became aware that this is way way too much exposure to one company and every component is linked together so if, hypothetically, I left a comment on YouTube that triggered some angsty AI ban algorithm, which led to the whole account getting zapped, I would be one sad puppy.

Better to selfhost, encrypt all, and be in control of my own destiny.

On first glance I think it looks nice. It's just a little sharper and more of a modern style choice.

Users reporting issues with the volume scroller have a point and hopefully that's addressed. I do dislike when features are removed because the only aim is to be "simpler"

The 2nd is most definitely a recommendation that they tread pretty damn lightly with this one.
