The idea that the SPD consent decree constituted "severe consequences", or was successful at all, is a joke.

Currency debasement is an option. Taxes would be less inflationary, of course.

Transit fare collection systems in many metros already log tap on / tap off location data and make it accessible to planners (and police).

Judgment: https://torrentfreak.com/images/anna-oclc-default-judgment.p...

Disappointing in particular to see the court validate a ToS "browsewrap agreement", admitting that OCLC provided no evidence that Anna's Archive was aware of the agreement, but still finding the fact that "Defendant is a sophisticated party that scraped data from Plaintiffs website daily" as sufficient to bind them to it.

Can that be used as precedent to bind the AI companies that see themselves getting blocked, and then just switch to residential IPs?

> "used as precedent"

It's only a default judgement (Anna's Archive was a no-show in court), so I'd assume not. Since there were no lawyers arguing the defense side, the judge would have more or less rubber-stamped everything the plaintiff argued, without careful analysis.

That's leaving money on the table, unless they continue to charge the previous tenant for the duration of quarantine.

Charging for an IP until a cert is expired is free money for cloud providers. They gonna love it.

Yes, please publish the location of your dev servers in Cert Transparency logs for everyone to see.

It competes with "Sign in with Google" SSO.

> TIPS are paying 2.6% above inflation.

2.6% above CPI. Investor calculus should include a consideration of how CPI is set vs what their actual personal rate of inflation will be.

> Wasn't 1.1.1.1 explicitly created to help people in countries with government internet restrictions to get around them?

No, it was explicitly created to receive and study the stream of "garbage traffic" being sent to 1.1.1.1 and 1.0.0.1, which were previously held by APNIC and donated to Cloudflare on this basis. https://blog.cloudflare.com/announcing-1111/

> APNIC's research group held the IP addresses 1.1.1.1 and 1.0.0.1. While the addresses were valid, so many people had entered them into various random systems that they were continuously overwhelmed by a flood of garbage traffic. APNIC wanted to study this garbage traffic but any time they'd tried to announce the IPs, the flood would overwhelm any conventional network.

> We talked to the APNIC team about how we wanted to create a privacy-first, extremely fast DNS system. They thought it was a laudable goal. We offered Cloudflare's network to receive and study the garbage traffic in exchange for being able to offer a DNS resolver on the memorable IPs. And, with that, 1.1.1.1 was born.

By these quotes, it was created to serve "a privacy-first, extremely fast DNS system", and the service of help in studying the garbage traffic was offered in exchange for gaining controll of the address(es).

Classifying Phrack as a blog is about as accurate as classifying future interest payments as liabilities.
