Why are you attributing this story to The Register, when all your links are to somewhere else?

Even if your device supports IPv6, if it's associated to a WLAN whose uplink is IPv4-only, it'll still have to operate on IPv4. The uplink of Frontier fiber Internet subscribers is IPv4-only.

You could almost say there's a stateless protocol.

Based on a very quick gloss of the California Notary Handbook, it doesn't look like Notaries can do this. All they can do is attest to the identity of the signer(s) of documents, and that said identity was verified via "satisfactory evidence," which is one of a variety of forms of ID, and then record that ID along with their fingerprint in their journal.

Point being: The identity being verified is disclosed (their full name) as part of the Notary's attestation. I don't think attestations without such a disclosure are possible under the current framework, but I haven't read the actual governing law. (AKAs/pseudonyms can be attested, provided "satisfactory evidence" can be provided establishing the AKA/pseudonym belongs to the person present. It is extremely unclear whether Internet account IDs qualify under this provision, much less what would be accepted as "satisfactory evidence.")

What he is, is a liar and master stock manipulator. That's all this is. No need to look for any science in it, or to dig any further (no regolith joke implied).

You didn't quite get the joke. "No Nazi ever called me racist"... because they wouldn't, would they?

Because it has sick drumming, dude!

This drone (an MK30) is 78 pounds, and about 6 feet diameter. They could easily kill a person if they hit a them. I think this is the fourth time I've read about their drones crashing, and all the cases seemed reasonably avoidable. They are currently operating under a special FAA license that exempts them from several rules that normal drone operators have to follow, like not requiring visual line of site. Given their safety record so far, I think that license should be revoked, and they can go back to a normal commercial license, until they have proven their operations to be safe again.

The government compels a Surgeon General's warning on packages of cigarettes and nutrition facts on packaged food.

This claim deserves greater scrutiny in light of the possibility that Microsoft could use its Windows monopoly to promote hosting a website on Azure over hosting it on Neocities.

Microsoft is indeed private sector. However, Microsoft is public in several other ways, which invite regulation in Slashdot's home country:

1. Microsoft is a publicly traded corporation. This is regulated by SEC.
2. Microsoft sells hardware products to the public. This is regulated by CPSC.
3. Microsoft operates websites used by the public. This is regulated by an army of private-sector civil lawyers that enforce ADA.
4. Most importantly in this case, Microsoft has a monopoly on desktop computer operating systems in Slashdot's home country, and the Department of Justice has already prosecuted Microsoft for leveraging that monopoly to unduly promote Internet Explorer (now called Edge) and MSN Search (now called Bing) to its Windows customers. United States of America v. Microsoft Corporation, 253 F.3d 34 (D.C. Cir. 2001). A repeat offense could land Microsoft executives in jail come the next administration.

Oh dear god. Now I am visualizing competitors finding ways to make their skin floppy in places so it parachutes out like a flying squirrel. Are you happy now?

The Supreme Court ruled in Eldred v. Ashcroft (2003) that the fair use defense makes the copyright statute compatible with the First Amendment. If some part of the copyright statute prohibits someone from exercising fair use with respect to a particular work, that's likely to invite more First Amendment scrutiny.

17 USC 1201 explicitly states that light "received through a camera lens" is not circumvention [or at least a specific type of circumvention].

Printed newspapers and magazines have been double-dipping since before the Internet opened to the public. Is there a material difference?
