It is ubiquitous in prices of gasoline and diesel fuels, which are usually in the form of $xx.xx9 per gallon (e.g., $3.599, commonly written as $3.59+9⁄10).
It's a bit of both from what I gather. I.e. The Golden State killer was caught through GEDmatch and 23AM users have to manually upload their DNA profile to GEDmatch. On the other hand GEDmatch gave unrestricted, undisclosed access to law enforcement to dig throught their database until users started complaining and it became opt-in to allow LE access.
Fun fact, GEDmatch is now owned by Qiagen which operates in around 25 countries. I wonder how many DNA profiles they have access to. I wouldn't be surprised if they've mapped the entire human species to some degree.
It's not about blaming the victims, but correctly identifying what caused the situation and give society at large a better chance of avoiding it from happening again. From not trusting magazines about how secure the new wondertech is, all the way to not reading and understanding the legal paper and agreements they've agreed to.
I don't believe people should be robbed of their agency - You even bring up many good reasons for using 23AM despite being aware of the potential privacy issues. Rather, people should have the information to make a concious choice.
The blame for the situation is with the company. The crucial choice was always in the hand of the users.
I think your argument is so contrary to the ad-free reality I experience every day, I don't think there's any point of counter argue you as we will probably never find a common ground to debate our differing viewpoints on.
No. If the discord channels/rooms (often called a 'discord server' where the head moderators are called 'admins') is the main support channel, I don't take the product serious. And I don't want joke software on my systems.
I'm not glad they're giving people an option, I'm angry that their foundational principles are askew and they're working towards continuing to use Discord as the main support channel.
Yes.
