The "90% unused brain capacity" is a myth. Furthermore, the brain doesn't control evolution though "thinking", it's powered by natural selection outside the body.

I could imagine either just a vanilla app blacklist that's regularly updated, or maybe a scanner that looks for known third party libraries commonly used for evil purposes?

In an ideal world yes, but what actually tends to happen is that the company starts to work towards improving their metric numbers at the cost of actually doing good business. I've seen this happen over and over again.

The iframe would have to be part of the HTML document from the very start. Maybe a server-side pre-processor that appends it as it's served.

You could obviously do it with JavaScript by pinging the server to tell him that log entry X is to be promoted to a true "hit". For a non-JS solution, I guess an tiny iframe at the bottom of the html page that accesses a special s

Even if data-breaches are not punished, we can still shame them and avoid using their product, which is a major step up from the old status quo where actively hiding the breach to avoid bad press was a legitimate strategy with very little d

Companies do bad things too (often very bad things) yet nobody thinks it's reasonable to just remove companies from society. Same for shares and shareholder culture, international franchise, etc. Yet with unions, so many people think &

Even worse, since it used "build" instead of "compile" I opened it expecting to find a story about pressing your own coins.

Chrome does have proprietary web features.

We can imagine tons of things that don't exist. For instance I'm currently imagining a bouncy ball that instead of bouncing according to deterministic laws, bounces according to a mystic will-based system.

Give them a big scary message "Never give out your password to strangers" when the censoring happens, because it's highly likely somebody is pretending to be an admin asking for a password in that situation.

by Drakim 8y ago
It's possible to do that without storing the passwords in plain text though! Run each word of the chat though the same hash+salt mechanism and compare to what you have stored.

That's why you should first have a feature freeze, and after a while go into a code freeze.

Yeah you are probably right about that.

While this isn't something I disagree with in principle, I can't help but to feel uneasy about it. Should companies have helped Nazi Germany to identify Jews since that was the local law? If not, the clearly the principle isn&#x27

By that logic GDPR actually doesn't affect a single company in the world, because by having an affect on the company, it will impact their legitimate business interests, and thus they will be exempt from GDPR. I'm a company that f

Really, Google tracks me while I'm visiting a non-Google website (!!!), and they expect to be protected as having a "legitimate interest exception"? Unless Google can successfully argue that every action, every step, every br

But that's not how GDPR works, if I agree to use a service it does not mean I agree to be tracked for a "more personalized experience". Facebook is even worse, they track me without me even having any interaction with them pr

Nothing about what you are saying here is related to my point though. If I use one product of google, it does not mean they have a "business relationship" that entitles them to tracking me as a third party on random websites. And

If I go to a random website and they serve third party google ads, I don't have a direct relationship with Google in that scenario. It's not enough to say that because I have a gmail account I consent to being tracked all over the

Not even if it drops down to 0? I'd say it counts as a loss as it goes down, even if you haven't sold it yet. You can't say that you have 3 billion in assets because "in the future it's hopefully rise in value!&quot

I really hope not, no way Google can just change the nature of cookies in their browser to suit one of their services, it's just too much.

Google may have data that a lot of users searched for "battle of X" right after watching this particular youtube.

It barely even manages to run node.js in a docker! /s My guess would be that a lot of of embedded things like kitchen appliances tend to run touchscreens with graphical interfaces these days.

I disagree with your disagreement. In the common layman's mind, if you "purchase" something, then the company should not be able to take it back from you. Especially since it's not like Apple is guaranteeing that you get

While those are valid points, it does also empower the individual. Being able to ask a company for their data on me is a huge boon that's gonna change the game.

> Customers may, for an additional charge, add on a native resolution video feature, disabling optimization That's such beautiful double think. We have this amazing feature for you, and for just a small charge you may turn it off.

If I buy a Bluetooth SmartLock, is it illegal for me to to attempt to open my own lock without the key to see if the product actually works?
