The data in a python dict disappears when you turn your computer off. The data in UnQLite doesn't disappear.

Yeah, I know about using wifi for location. But I think turning the android location setting off disables that (in addition to disabling gps and bluetooth location). These pages indicate that: https://support.google.com/andr

by Buge 8y ago
Hmm, that seems to completely turn off all location. So I don't know why google would seemingly still know your location.

by Buge 8y ago
Are you turning off GPS or all location? Because location can still be enabled when GPS is off. There's location via wifi and via bluetooth.

Are you saying google's looking at your current location? That sounds to me like it's saying the store is an x minute drive from your home. It says nothing about your current location (work).

Just because the protocol allows websites to accept all manufacturers doesn't mean AWS accepts all manufacturers.

Maybe this AWS feature is designed for companies, not individual users.

Are you sharing your location? Maybe nothing is stored, but your current location is used for searches you make.

>I think they need to go and work on their sums a bit more. What does this mean? Are you saying Youtube needs to improve, Fair Trending needs to improve, or the viewers need to improve?

With some artistic interpretation and CGI it's possible. For example Sniper Elite 4[1], or the Lord or War intro[2]. [1] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9hRABmkVI_U [2] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V

If there's no central list, then I don't see how implementing the ability for users to block numbers is non-neutral. There's no central enforcement or organization, it's just a private thing.

Forum and blog owners have long banned people who post/comment abusive stuff, or even stuff that just insults the owners.

by Buge 8y ago
I don't see how a blacklist of people (banned people) throws out safe harbor out the window. People will abuse your platform, and you can ban some of them when possible. That doesn't seem to me to make you liable for the rest of t

Yeah, Expect-EV would do almost nothing to help prevent phishing. That's what U2F is for. Expect-EV would prevent attacks like[1][2] where a domain is hijacked via DNS or BGP. U2F wouldn't help with these attacks. I know that phis

Do you have a source for the POST thing? I can't find anything by searching. Yeah, I agree EV has some potential for users to distinguish. If we add mechanical way for the browsers to enforce it, that could help increase website adopti

by Buge 8y ago
A machine that just distinguishes it then does nothing is useless. I want the browser to enforce it. EV doesn't have the user distinction benefit of a blue checkmark if no major websites use it. No one notices EV. Twitter randomly swit

I get that it's unreasonable to expect users to distinguish EV from DV certs. But a machine should be able to distinguish. There should be an Expect-EV pin header, just like HSTS and Expect-CT. That way you can be sure the certificate

Ego without additional money could be a valid argument. A lot of engineers would leave a job where nothing gets done for an equal-paying job with a lot of impact.

Theoretically if you got those new books from Amazon, they could contain a bit of configuration telling the Kindle to delete your old books.

It's "someone's else's computers" that he paid money to use, and now he's not able to use it.

How do you get new books if the Kindle never connects to the internet?

It says "Up to date as of: 2018-05-22". That seems to imply that it may have been invalidated at some later point. If it is valid until removed, then it shouldn't have a date at all.

You're right that passionate users can no longer effectively bring new people to Google. But passionate users can lead people away from Google.
