Totally just guessing: Maybe to reduce inbound spam that's forwarded to the buyers? If it was one central email address, spammers could just send a ton of images/PDFs to all known prefixes of that central domain, but needing to guess the prefix + right domain adds a layer of indirection? They may not do much validation on the forwarded tickets, just store it for disputes
I was curious the last time I sold tickets so actually called them asked about this. The emails are aliases to verify the tickets are valid, then they are forwarded to the buyer.
Usually the format is <email prefix of buyer>@<stubhub controlled domain> and the tickets are forwarded pretty quickly. This way stubhub can actually validate you sent over a PDF + the contents of those PDFs or images if the buyer disputes delivery.
I've been pleasantly surprised at how fast Github has been moving since that critical open letter came out. For a giant company like Github they've been releasing developer tools very quickly.
I'd be interested to see if this is just because it's new and novel or because of some sort of human psychological difference. The latter would be really interesting.
The only way to bring about that kind of change is from the regulatory level, the companies benefit from obfuscating the changes they're making you agree to.
Making it easier to see that they just added a single provision allowing them to sell your data is not something companies will want to implement themselves.
Gizmodo article is actually decent: "While helium doesn’t appear to be a problem at the moment, deflation is. ABC27 reports: “Authorities said it is equipped with a device to slowly deflate it, but it apparently is not working.” Whoops. If you see the free-floating balloon on the loose, call 911. Do not attempt to engage."
The short answer is no, not easily.
A more elaborate solution would be to install a global proxy on the device and route the connection through a server you control, filtering the traffic you don't want to go through. You can use Apple Configurator to configure the global proxy.
Seems like either the NSA has easy methods to crack ECC that they think will be public knowledge in the immediate future(unlikely but who knows), or they can't break ECC and are trying to push people away from it for the NSA's own own good
I think this proposal is ridiculous. There is no need to register individual drones. If you want to require drone pilot licenses to fly a drone where potential pilots need to learn the rules that seems much more reasonable to me but having to register each individual drone seems like overkill.
I have point type A and I want type B - what's the most economical path to walk between the two point types.
