Why? That is just an ordinary domain name that someone pointed at local host. I don't see why it should get any security exemptions.

It already exists, Its called ad nauseam. Its an adblocker that opens every ad in the background. Google has banned it from the chrome store so that says something.

This may be true but the end game for governments is to have facial recognition everywhere. They start at the airport because "it doesn't matter, you are already giving your info out" and then we become OK with the idea so they start rolling it out for public transport and "it doesn't matter, you already do this every time you fly"

It seems to me that the only way to resist is to take a very hard rejection of facial recognition entirely in any situation.

Having a known security bug unpatched for longer than x days should be grounds for a warrenty refund. That should get companies moving when there is a real world cost for not dealing with security bugs.

The farmers reported throwing out almost 40% of their produce because it was too long, too short, too curvy, not curvy enough. As well as rediculous rules about which veriaty of bananas should be curved or not even though they all grow curved and not curved.

I don't think most people have a problem with eating imperfect fruit. If I picked an apple from my tree and half of it was bad I would cut it in half and eat the other half. But if I see a half ruined apple at a supermarket I will pick a good one because they are both the same price.

This goes against the reports I have seen with photos of farmers dumping mountains of bananas that didn't fit supermarket guidelines.

IE is many many years behind other browsers. I have to support it at work and many many hours are spent reimplementing things that exist in modern browsers because IE doesn't support it.

Most likely they just read the docs and used the first feature that did the job and never bothered to test in IE because its a waste of time.
