Some US states have some sort of department of weights and measures. I’ve contacted mine before about such issues and they take them very seriously, sending out an inspection team to test the claim. What they can do to enforce things depends on the state, though.

Plenty do. There just needs to be more organization.

What’s great about this comment is that every side can say it about the other!

I imagine those other targets are in much better positions to prevent such attacks right now. Russia is kind of busy elsewhere, so maybe they were seen as a better target with a higher chance of pulling off an attack.

Yeah, the US public is much more aware now than they were in 1967.

That’s great, I’ll order it!

How is it hard to root for the anonymity of people? This is pretty cut-and-dry.

I’ve been disturbed to see an increasing number of purple parroting character assassination points about Zelenskiy.

Yeah, I fell for this once a year ago and was dumbfounded to only get 480p when I paid for “UHD”. Never paying again. Great job, bean counters.

All I see are people talking about consumer apps that could be websites, but it’s a problem in the business world, too. My small business makes a service for other small businesses and all our big competitors use apps for their system while we use a web app. Some even restrict to only iOS or Android, too. It blows our potential customers’ minds when they see that ours is just a website with at least as much functionality as the competition and the ability to access it from anything.

I have no idea why anyone would do it differently as it’s WAY easier/cheaper to maintain this website than deal with app ecosystems. And there simply aren’t enough users in this space to merit data scraping like with consumer apps.

What is meaningful, is what I want to know.

Only if true, as we were discussing.

Do investors really love it? Is there anyone as stupid as the group-think whole that believes that will stop even one act of piracy?

All these idiotic measures have clearly driven more people to piracy…

For the species.

Seriously; I’ve seen several such posts stating a belief that it’s unsafe to visit the US, but that’s wildly ignoring statistics. The violent crime rate is like half what it was in the 90s and continues its general downward trend, falling further to below the previous bottom in '19. And most of that still stems from gang violence and the like, so it’s never near what tourists are doing.

I don’t get it; I think people just like acting scared for some reason. Or maybe it’s them grasping for a reason to feel superior? People love that kind of thing…

5D Chess With Multiverse Time Travel is a crazy game.

I don’t understand why so many would consider this rage bait; the title seems reasonable and the article lines up with what I expected from it. He sounds like a rare CEO who gets it, though who knows if that will amount to anything…

No, they pay money for Younger Brother, the capitalist version of Big Brother to watch them. Big Bro is always watching regardless.

Yikes! That’ can’t have been easy to replace.

Yep, that’s the stuff! They tried to fish the new PEX line through by pulling it with the old stuff, but it broke apart in several places when trying to pull it out.
