That list only includes suggestions that were seriously considered and voted on.
Since it's a vote, there is no single official 'reason' for rejection. If I had to guess: it would be confusing to anyone who didn't grow up with American TV shows.
They were grandfathered in, not voted on. Or rather there was a vote that resulted in adopting the character sets developed by Japanese telecoms en masse.
Weirdly this is in line with Unicode in general. Widespread (and not even widespread) historic use in say print results in characters getting included.
what's the connection to american TV shows? i'm only aware of the tinfoil hat through cultural osmosis i guess, something about shielding from radio waves
it's a popular image/byword/archetype for conspiracy theorists, idk if it's a common enough symbol to justify emoji inclusion. the submitted proposals probably have analyses of that though :p
The app[1] on the user's device[2] forwards that request to the chip on the user's ID card. The user authorizes themselves with their 6 digit PIN stored on the card.
The chip produces a signed reply containing the following payload fields: `issuing_country:string` and `over_18:bool`
What happens when I set up a tor hidden service that (in conjunction with some client software) stands in for a visitor's device and will proxy any requests back to my personal card? After all the payloads are anonymous so what's the risk to me?
To prevent this sort of abuse, the server would have to request the `pseudonym` field, which contains a hash across the server identity and the card's secret salt, allowing the server to detect abuse but not to track the user across multiple services.
It's probably even simpler than that: say normal users make a few requests once in a while (because they don't need thousands of tokens every day), and one user makes a ton of requests, then it is an indication that this user may be abusing the system.
It would probably be possible to use the service that the parent is suggesting and try to link it to requests to the server based on timing. But I don't even know if anyone would bother trying to identify the OP: probably it would just be enough to rate-limit the requests.
As always: it's easy to criticise, harder to actually get it right.
Its been a thing since September 30th 2025, and apparently its just embedded content on third party sites, and account features on imgur itself that are blocked. I think its a "we don't want to adhere to your data protection laws" instead of an age thing
Even brute force from something like autoresearch could be able to find ways to squeeze out extra space by trying different ways to express things and rewrite it.
If OpenAI steals all your work, that's copyright infringement - but if you tried to stop them through technical means and they do it anyway, that's felony DRM circumvention.
