There was a case more than 20 years ago of a similar revolt against a Canadian hospital's automated drug dispensing machine that would only let nurses withdraw the exact dose of medicine a patient needed in a short window around when patient was supposed to take each dose. It was so bad it got written up into an academic article: https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1177/016224390202700...

But Amazon straight up gives camera access to Ring Doorbells to police without user consent or a court warrant. If you're paranoid and a Mullvad customer, you should probably treat Amazon as if it was a part of the US government.

So if you're paranoid, would you fund your account through a card that was bought on Amazon by a family/friend? Instead of linking back to you, it links back to someone close to you, who probably has no privacy/security skills and bought it by asking their Echo Speaker.

If you're paranoid about privacy, why would you trust Amazon of all retailers?

> On the other hand, using IP-reputation to decide who gets a captcha is one of the few methods that undeniably works

For a particular definition of "works." Giving everyone a captcha would also "work", but with different tradeoffs.

Is it just me or are all the channels broken with just old-school TV static? Maybe the server is overloaded with the HN & reddit hug of death.

It isn't a lesson plan. It is raw archival material intended for teachers to use with whatever lesson plan they create.
