Is there data on point of impact or suspected origin? Is this a relatively common occurrence? Interesting, thanks for sharing.

Exactly. If things keep going at this rate Google and Facebook will be shaping and distorting reality for a large portion of the population. If 95% of your internet traffic goes through a search box or algorithm... And you spend 6 hours a

Valid concerns. What does Google gain from putting genuine effort into stopping the spread of these kinds of video? Perhaps more "responsible" content and an eventual turn-around of the platform... But that's a big gamble - m

Most definitely. But the folk at Google are very smart, very rich, and already run the most lucrative ad platform in the world. Wouldn't hamstringing their flagship product for the sake of a few extra $B/yr harm them in the long r

Anecdotally and perhaps unrelated - has anyone else noticed a decrease in the accuracy and general quality of Google search over the past 2-4 months? They've had to have been utilizing ML to 'improve' searches for some time n

I think the root issue goes back to your second sentence: the average user doesn't want to be empowered when it comes to data harvesting. In fact, the average user would probably be firmly set against it. They have nothing to hide, n

How are they expected to work without a degree of opacity? If the police were transparent for the sake of vigilant privacy nerds and the public, their targets would stay two steps ahead of them and never get caught. I agree on the accountab

Ah, that makes a lot of sense. Thanks for the succinct explanation.

What do they gain from offering the card if they are not harvesting transaction data? Is it possible that this is some legal gymnastics (i.e. Goldman-Sachs receives the 'Apple doesn't know' data and promptly send it over to t

Yes. URL prediction & malware blacklisting "services" send keystrokes regardless of chosen search engine.

It's just "the way it's done" in an aging industry without much incentive for innovation/change. Why risk time and money on a new chlorine-free product when 98% of your customers are happily paying for what you alre

Did it automatically generate that "caption" because it learns from lolcats/cat memes? Fascinating!

It'd be a good strategy if we were aiming for a totalitarian Google-sponsored police state.. Making (online or offline) life more difficult for people who don't want to use company X products could escalate to the point where you

I'm very happy to hear it's less of a problem in other countries. I admire your optimism and hope for the same :)

The problem is that confidential details of your personal life which you have never agreed to share are being collected and arguably weaponized for the sake of financial gain.

That's like slapping a crown on a rotting tooth and calling it good - you prevent the problem from affecting your daily life, but nothing has been fixed and the clock is ticking...

Truth. All ephemeral/temporary/one-time mailboxes suffer from the same issue - once enough people start using it, the website owners take notice and it's blacklisted. It'd be nice if you could create temporary <insert

Imo the author isn't saying that live coding talks can't be high-quality or even 'magical' - just pointing out that the practice is more likely to detract from a presentation than improve it.
