Try to read beyond the first sentence.

I understand the GDPR. I have read it. I also understand how it does not apply in the USA.

In the USA, data-about-you is not your personal data. Knowledge is the property of whomever knows it. No permission is required to know things, or to act based on that knowledge, or to share that knowledge with others (specific exceptions exist -like HIPAA, attorney-client relationship, confidentiality agreements, etc.)

It is a different basic approach to the rule of law, not just a different law.

US law is based on freedom. Everything is legal, unless it is prohibited.
* Default = Allow
This encourages innovation, as no permission is required before trying something new. It also leads to abuse, as early adopters get away with overt misbehavior before their actions are outlawed.

You are arguing for law to be based on restriction. Everything is illegal, unless it is allowed.
* Default = Deny
This approach slows innovation as permission must be sought before attempting anything new. It does help to limit abuse, as an unpermitted action can be halted immediately when discovered. It does not prevent abuse, as malicious actors can do illegal things covertly.

The hallway of your apartment building is a shared private space. It's use is governed by the rules of the owners of the property. You agreed to the rules when you signed your lease. As did your neighbor. Ask your landlord to determine whether or not recording is allowed.

The 512-SIM racks can only addreses 64 at a time. This comports with what people noticed about the antenna count.

8x is nearly an order of magnitude difference and chaged my mind about the likely purpose.

Presumably the spammers expect the SIM's to get blacklisted and move on?

But WHO is provisioning a quarter million cards at a time without tripping flags?

How do you do that with end-to-end cryptosystems?

... is that whatever is "hot" now, will be old 10 years from now.

...as soon as one gets good, it will ask for cash.

LTIH, AKA "critical thinking skills"

But the ads themselves are fun interactive experiences. Leaving sarcastic comments on Facebook ads can be a fun past time, especially when others join in.

Ultimately it doesn't matter what the content is, as long as you're getting that dopamine rush when someone likes your comment.

This stupid is logic

Sleudian Frip

(falsely) claimed CS majors can't find work. The data tells the opposite story: CS grads have the highest median wage and the fifth-lowest underemployment across all majors

The ability to find a new job and average salary are very DIFFERENT things. This stupid is logic, they should apologize to NYT.

Companies rarely suddenly cut salaries when a field slumps, they prefer to use attrition: no raises, longer hours, no new hires.

They just donated the terminals, they still had to pay for the subscriptions
