So your claim is that states specifically don't have this authority, only the federal government? What's your reason for thinking this?

edit: Here's an example showing that they do: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_Dakota_v._Wayfair%2C_Inc.

There's also laws like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/California_Consumer_Privacy_Act

The businesses that the CCPA refers to do not need to be physically present in California. As long as the business is active in the state and meets the requirements, they are considered to be under the CCPA

A number of state based internet regulation laws have recently run into trouble in courts, but that's because of First Amendment concerns, not questions over whether merely being accessible to state residents gives jurisdiction to enforce them, which afaik it does.

The difference between what the laws are trying to enforce is a different issue though. The point is a website can be prosecuted just for being accessible when what it offers is against local laws.

Pretty sure it doesn't work that way. Look at what happened to Binance; not a US website, not technically allowing US customers, still successfully prosecuted by the US government for not doing enough to prevent people in the US from using it.

Because refried beans are as you mention no longer countable, I think "refried beans" should be taken all together as a singular compound noun rather than the word "beans" modified by an adjective. So then "too much refried beans" is the correct way to say it because it isn't plural.

I wonder if part of the reason for supporting this is that they like the secondary effect that all this information is now also available to governments

I remember it being especially bizarre because it basically means going through a large portion of the game with a more or less useless character soaking up xp, after which you either have a slightly less useless underlevelled character or one that's brokenly OP depending on how you planned out the combo. And if you dual class too late you just never get to that point and it's all drawback no benefit.

Can't track mouse movements on mobile though

Sometimes you just have something to say but have high confidence that continuing the conversation beyond that isn't going to be productive. I like having the option to not be tempted.

Mostly I like the ways it's not like reddit, but I miss 'disable inbox replies'

Unless it's an emergency or you're trying to contact a company/government entity that will stonewall you with template emails otherwise I think this is fine because if someone just calls me on the phone I'd hate it and I don't want to inflict that on others

Obligatory LLMs see tokens not letters

Thanks! Maybe they are doing this because old.reddit is more convenient to scrape, and stopping unauthorized data collection seems to be a priority for them? Since it isn't actively worked on you wouldn't need to constantly update a scraping program every time there's a change to the site that breaks it.

Hadn't heard that, could you drop a link?

The profit they get from the sale of the television should be enough that they don't have to make the television shit to get slightly more profit, why do people even buy these

But televisions cost hundreds of dollars at least

I have but it kind of goes away after enough years. I was enthusiastic about this book series at one point but that was more than a decade ago, don't really remember what cliffhanger it was left on even

I see these posts every once in a while and it seems weird the topic of a book not being written still captures people's attention after so long and so much repeated discussion.

"each new connected TV platform user generates around $5 per quarter in data and advertising revenue."

Sounds like a pathetic amount of money for betraying your customers with a shitty ad infested smart tv

I bet you could do it with ring signatures

a message signed with a ring signature is endorsed by someone in a particular set of people. One of the security properties of a ring signature is that it should be computationally infeasible to determine which of the set's members' keys was used to produce the signature

I agree that it's bad that there's a false impression of privacy, but I think it would be better to allow this as an extension or something and not include it as a feature in the UI, or at least not on by default. That way people who otherwise wouldn't bother won't be tempted to drive themselves crazy looking for imaginary enemies.
