Thanks and I agree in theory. It remains to be seen whether that statement was true, or just CA pumping up their own importance.

In violation of agreements, definitely, if you believe Facebook's public statement. I think it would be risky for Facebook to lie about their developer policies but that doesn't mean it's impossible. I don't have time ri

> Common freaking sense. It's a goldmine for future elections, they would be fools not to share it with the DNC. Well, no. They'd be people who are violating their Facebook contract if they did . When you live in the swamp, it

I believe in judging based on the facts in evidence rather than making assumptions about what happened. CA acquired data from a third party which did not have permission to give CA the data. The Obama campaign did not do that. Facebook requ

Nope, not "that you know of." Cambridge Analytica got their data from a third party, violating their contract with Facebook. The Obama campaign got their data directly. That is an actual difference between the two actions. It&#x27

The major differences: 1. The Democrats didn't harvest the data under false pretenses; the data came from people who signed up for a political app. 2. The Democratic campaign data wasn't illegally transferred from one company to a

I hear you. Moving to SSL for millions of old websites is a pain in the ass. It's a degree of effort that people often skim over. Speaking as someone who's maintained a lightweight presence on the Web for over 20 years, I've

The premise of this article is incorrect. Google has banned gun sales via the Shopping tool since 2012 [1]. Archive.org doesn't have a capture from 2012, but there's one from March 2016 [2]. This is not a new policy. A few people

That's a funny headline given that the article doesn't discuss Android at all. Apple's outselling the Swiss watch manufacturers by itself.

They were able to buy BAMTech outright, and BAMTech has better live event streaming. I don't think this is an investment play for Disney. I think it's about what gives them the best streaming platform that's completely under

I don't know that. I know that CNN fired three people when they discovered that they ran a story without proper checking. If your assumption was correct, that wouldn't have happened.

That's still data I'd rather they don't share -- no need for anyone to know that I'm married to the person in the aisle seat. Minimize exposure.

Those agree with him. The 2% is an aspirational goal. Here is an actual quote from the Economist article you linked to: "At a summit in 2014, NATO reiterated its commitment to the 2% target. Members that fell short at the time promised

Dash might be a better example. The account generating fraudulent reviews was contacted before apps were removed from the store. It's entirely possible that Apple screwed up by not communicating with the account used to publish Dash, b

Apple usually provides warning before removal. For example, when they decided portions of Transmit were unacceptable, they asked Panic to change them before deleting the app. https://panic.com/blog/transmit-ios-1-1-1&#x

That'd be the IDFV [1], no? The problem is that the customer is supposed to be able to reset that by deleting all of a vendor's apps from their device. If there's a fraud problem, I think it's reasonable to require the d

We can probably dial that in a little more: Fox News is certainly no better than CNN as far as talking heads goes, but the Trump Administration isn't feuding with them. Trump is feuding with talking heads who don't advance his age

There's a slight inaccuracy here; by simply saying "donated to Clinton" you imply that the donation was to Hillary Clinton's campaign. The donation was, however, to the Clinton Foundation. Given that the donations to the

The NY/CA popular vote gap argument makes no sense. If you ignore the votes of the 38 million people living in states which supported Trump the most, to balance the votes of the 38 million people living in California, you get the same
