What if you spent 80000 hours on your mental health instead of this? You do have a choice

One case 14 years ago that didn’t prevent a terrorist attack is a terrible reason to give up civil liberties

People forget how much time they spent learning something when they were younger. I feel like a lot of adults give up and use age as an excuse for not trying new things.

But that won't happen. If you have evidence on your phone of a crime you committed you're not going to give the phone to the police to look at. Therefor we end up with no crimes solved instead of one. Ontop of that, because everyone knows that a criminal can no longer report a rape, there's a carte blanche to rape anyone who falls into that category without consequence.

Self incrimination is not the same as a false accusation.

Imagine if the person raped committed a different crime, unrelated to the rape, for which there was evidence of that on their phone.

In order to report the rape, they have to self incriminate themself for that crime as well? In this scenario any drug user, prostitute or other criminal has no protection from the law against being raped.

No- the prosecution does not have to search for and provide evidence that may exonerate the defense, that would be ridiculous.

I'm a really happy person but I love depressing music

This seems a tad unethical

maybe you need some funding then

How will this work?

The ideas in the article are dumb, approximately 0 people will upload their passport to a porn site or go and buy a pass from a newsagent.

The article makes out that VPN’s could be made illegal at some point, that’s not even technically possible. It’s like legislators have no clue what this stuff is.

Why is this joke submission Number 1 on Show HN with only 4 updates while there are lots of entries on /shownew with more upvotes that never reach /show?

That works until all your favourite podcasts get bought up by distribution channels (eg see Spotify’s acquisition of gimlet media)

> Reach has been growing and only a small proportion of listening is online. However, we should heed the lessons of other industries and change before we have to.

I too have been wondering how long podcasts will remain using RSS before being utterly demolished by paid for platforms.

Can you imagine if we had TV content shared over RSS? Actually pirates have distributed content through RSS for a long time and it was a much better UX than anything offered by the big players.

Good on the BBC for thinking ahead and taking difficult steps to protect consumers.
