It is a problem in prisons, where lots of men are in women's prisons because they start identifying as a woman

You don't need parallelism to have a race condition, just not handling an event with expected timing can cause one - like when two keys are pressed within one polling cycle and you depend on one being pressed before the other for some logic like up and right arrow for a diagonal but they register as right and up so the diagonal movement doesn't trigger

Compiler optimisation strategies sometimes use statistical machines and link time optimisation does use random number generators for producing output

C/C++ compilers are non deterministic due to support of super macros that change run to run, non-deterministic optimisation strategies or ordering due to parallelism, and linkers often produce different outputs every time they are run where subtle bugs can cause crashes when addresses don't line up how you expect. And that's without mentioning projects that use a configuration step.

It's actually a big problem in producing reproducible builds for security.

 

The eSafety commissioner’s office has said the age-assurance trial report found geolocation technology and other signals could be used to detect if users are trying to use a VPN. The report itself suggests VPN users should not be blocked, but checked with age verification. That could mean that, if implemented, anyone using a VPN anywhere in the world to access the sites would have to verify their age, despite not being in Australia.
