I might be misunderstanding the licenses so correct me if wrong.
Can companies use GPL code internally without release as long as the thing written with it doesn't get directly released to the public?
.. or does GPL pollute everything even if used internally for commercial purposes?
Thankfully we can federate bot posts to make that easier :P
This reminds me of when a coworker wrote a protocol around sending encrypted messages back and forth inside of gchat to control another PC.
The reason was that: our company firewall doesn't let stuff go in directly, but we have internet.
I thought that was a nutty tos violation.
Each system had a Google account and would login and listen for messages from the controller.
This hits the point already. Look at those weight loss drugs that help people lose weight and are needed by certain other people.
Look at all the celebrities all of a sudden on them and regular people's insurance won't cover them. The regular folks who need them have trouble getting them as a result.

What is the data used to freeze your credit? Why couldn't a bad actor with your SSN unfreeze it?
Edit: I just froze with the big 3 credit agencies. It took name, address, phone number, email, SSN, birthday.
So all the stuff that leaks. Why do people think this provides security if a bad actor has the same data to unfreeze?
I always worry the the backup USB drive would be dead.
I guess I'm one minority but kind of like an ability to fetch the key from the web. Doing that securely of course can be tough.
Iiuc to exploit you already need kernel level access. I'd figure if something malicious made it that far, you're already screwed.
Yep. Someone thinks the Google name has some crazy value.
Probably bureaucracy. Also an inability to pivot even when things make no sense. Everything is a giant freight train that has very little ability to change direction or stop.
Oh and of course a healthy taste of not being transparent or honest.

You mean: how they will raise prices to account for that.
