He got got because the user used an Apple ID that was linekd to their real identity, which is one of the things Proton is obligated to provide in cases like this.
Proton says all the time, they are obligated to comply with the letter of the law, so do not store anything identifiable anywhere they're legally required to provide it. They tell you exactly what not to do, to avoid this precise case. They do not want to provide anything they don't have to, but they also do not want their company shut down.

"Better" is such a strong word. It's a kludge where you have to connect your phone and switch to a virtual wifi and then you can send up to ten photos at a snail's pace. I kept using twitter because it's such an annoying process.

The point is that this is the opening paragraph about something going wrong in human brain surgery, and the first thing they tell us is "don't worry, the data's fine", rather than anything about the human. Indeed, you have to read to the last paragraph to find:
Arbaugh's safety does not appear to be negatively impacted.
No, I understood that, I did read the article. I'm lambasting the fact that in an article about "brain chip gone wrong", burying the "but human seems to be unharmed" at the end of an article is indicative of a set of priorities wildly different from my own.

Splatoon 1 let you play five different minigames on the wii u pad, including a pretty solid rhythm game, while waiting, nothing else has come close for me
I do not know if it's true for all countries, but at least the USA and the UK require your passport to be signed to be valid. And I know that when I fly, I sometimes get checked if it is signed....
I personally have a signature stamp. I imagine that would work for anyone who has literally any range of motion, down to "can hold a stamp in their teeth and tilt their head a few degrees to press it against a document".
For people who don't have even that, I think a notary is allowed to sign on your behalf, if they can be provided documentation of your disability, but that will vary by country of course.
Is it chilling? I was already going to stay where I am, whether I made a copy or not. Sharding off a replica to go on for me would be strictly better than not doing that
They even mention in the article, just above the cut, that they’re afraid this article will get paywalled lol
And below the cut, that they’re aware of the irony, but surely people who pay for journalism can see why journalism is important, which is like… good point, I guess. Sometimes the system sucks and we have to work with what we have.
I disagree? It skips to the highlight. If I came here to see the cool table, I wanna see the cool table, not the 15 minutes beforehand of the guy talking about tableology and his quest to find the optimal oak polish. Highlights don’t skip automatically by default, so it harms nothing having it there for videos you personally don’t want to use it on; if I’m in the mood to see a longform video, I will, and if I just want to see the cool thing displayed in the thumbnail, I will.
I also kind of enjoy the memey ones, like how most uploads of the beatmania song Second Heaven have the infamous SOMEBODY SCREAM tagged as a highlight. It’s a fun little moment of “someone else was here before me for the same thing, and they left a trace”, kinda like a dark souls message.
Maybe you might argue that should be a different category? But personally I think your definition of highlight is rather narrow
No, you see, you just get every citizen to pay a little bit into the bridge, and then everyone can use it. Maybe we put some of that money aside and establish a group of people to care for the bridge, upkeep and whatnot. It wouldn’t be fair to just pick them arbitrarily, so we should probably hold some kind of vote. And, well, I guess the money will run out, so maybe we take a little more from everyone every year, just to keep it in good shape
Now imagine it in, say, fog, or a storm, or any other low-visibility condition. You can see the vague outline of a car 20 feet ahead, and a blinking arrow pointing to the right, but not in line with where a right blinker should be.

Some of the smartest people I know are some of the dumbest people I know.
A historian who falls in with one MLM after another. A senior engineer who doesn’t trust doctors because homopathy is the only real medicine. A dentist who thinks the moon landing was fake. A doctor who warns people off “seed oils” and onto a “paleolithic, mostly-meat diet”.
Ime, people can get “too smart” for their own good, and start to believe they’re qualified to speak even outside their own specialties. The smartest thing you can do is recognize where you’re qualified, and where you’re an idiot, and in the places you’re an idiot, stay quiet and listen.
Was just talking at dinner with family, and it seems a logical action to ban circumcision, as in most cases, doesn’t have consent, and is a major (genitals are important) body modification. Can we ban it at the state level? Just a thought.
It should be noted that geosynchronous and geostationary are not the same. Geosynchronous does mean that it orbits the earth at 1 rotation per day, but depending on inclination and/or eccentricity, it doesn’t stay still, it will draw out a slow loop or figure-8 from any given observer’s perspective. The latter thing you’re describing is a geostationary orbit; satellites in a geosynchronous orbit above the equatorial plane, with 0 inclination and eccentricity, stay at exactly the same spot in the sky at all times, and are said to be geostationary, or to be in GEO (rather than GSO).

Ask your friends. I used to have a home business, and I keep my website active so it looks like I still exist or just recently closed down. If any of my friends need a reference, they know they can put me down and I’ll be happy to say they did whatever they want. A glowing review. “When they were placed in charge of logistics, they reworked our entire system and nearly doubled our efficiency while cutting previously-unnoticed losses.” or whatever fuckin business nerd words are good.

These are wildly different medications. Meth is occasionally used for ADHD when nothing else works, but it requires careful medical supervision, for life. A pharmacist subbing out your amphetamine salts for meth will go to jail. Adderal is not meth, any more than caffeine is adrenaline, or morphine is fentanyl.
You say you “have family” with ADHD; do you mean you have multiple different family members on different medications? Because 9 outta 10 times someone tells me they know someone on “meth” for ADHD, they’ve misread methylphenadate; Ritalin.
“Equal” has a slightly different meaning in fair division problems. It doesn’t mean “the exact same quantity of matter”, so not being able to judge exactly 1/3 of the apple doesn’t super matter (though your seed problem can be solved by cutting diagonally through the apples rather than along one side), but rather, that each person gets a portion they value at least as much as the others; maybe some people are willing to take a smaller piece if it means they have no seeds, maybe some people are going to peel their piece so they care more about having the largest internal volume, maybe some people plan to plant the seeds and so they actually value them, maybe some people only care about having the biggest piece.
In practice, for three people this can take as few as 2 cuts or as many as 6; since there’s two apples and we can do 2 cuts with one stroke here, there is a fair division solution, but it only works if things go perfectly:
The first person cuts the apples into 3 shares they think are of equal value (perhaps they hate apple cores, so they cut one side off both as above)
The second person points out which share(s) they think are the best
The third person takes the share they consider to be most valuable
The second person takes the share they consider to be most valuable
The first person takes the remaining share, which, since they cut, they must consider equal to the other two.
If the second person doesn’t think at least two shares are of equal value, the problem becomes impossible to resolve without more knifeplay.
