They could make this opt-in or opt-out

Even if you could solve aging, you could never solve death. Probability and entropy will catch up with you eventually.
I think that most people over a certain age are quite aware of their own mortality, and are looking to bring meaning to the time that they have.

> Use a search engine that suppresses spammy sites and lets you customise what you want it to surface.
Can you give an example of such a search engine? Which one(s) do you use and why?

It depends a lot on the car and the engine.
If you want a high-performance engine that meets modern emissions requirements, you're probably going to be looking at EFI and turbochargers. Changing the fuel injection maps on a modern car requires something akin to rooting/flashing an Android.

That wouldn't test the software, assuming cheating wasn't an issue

Correct, but in this case, it sounds like you didn't need to use the ISP router as your VPN gateway.
If I understand the DNS rebinding attack reference correctly, you could be running the VPN software on your desktop/laptop and still have your IP revealed by your ISP router.

Given HTTP pipelining and fetch() promise semantics, I'm not sure there's a practical benefit to pushing results instead of "blocking" the original request.

or people will just create a shared email account, or set up a forwarding rule for the verification emails...
I agree with another commenter. This seems targeted at people who are borrowing someone's account without their knowledge or consent.

> On Wednesday Melvin said it had exited its bet against GameStop and repositioned its portfolio. The firm moved to reduce risk in its investments following a turbulent start to January when it lost 30 percent in the first three weeks. Melvin’s leverage ratio is at the lowest it has been since the firm’s founding in 2014, said a source familiar with the firm. The news of Melvin’s January performance was first reported by The Wall Street Journal.
Which begs the questions: who are the remaining short-sellers and what do their positions look like? Are they other hedge funds with soon-to-expire positions or are they retail investors betting that GME will be back down to $100 or less by next month?

> There are 100 shares. A owns 90 of them, B owns 10. A lends her 90 shares to C, who shorts them all to D. Now A owns 90 shares, B owns 10 and D owns 90—there are 100 shares outstanding, but190 shares show up on ownership lists. (The accounts balance because C owes 90 shares to A, giving C, in a sense, negative 90 shares.) Short interest is 90 shares out of 100 outstanding. Now D lends her 90 shares to E, who shorts them all to F. Now A owns 90, B 10, D 90 and F 90, for a total of 280 shares. Short interest is 180 shares out of 100 outstanding. No problem! No big deal! You can just keep re-borrowing the shares. F can lend them to G! It's fine.

IANAL but I believe that some clever lawyers have used this to the advantage of the victims by essentially creating a DOS attack on the company, flooding it with binding arbitration claims.
