Google banned the product that this article is about; Facebook cozied up to them. So far only for Facebook evidence has surfaced of these very shady practices. See the difference? > Google banned Voluum over cloaking concerns, but that

They already had an obligation to respond to such inquires under the older EU Data Protection Directive. But they generally ignored the requests or only gave incomplete data (e.g., you'd get your facebook posts, etc., but no tracking d

As someone who considered himself reasonably well-informed about the privacy implications of Facebook, the "friend permission" was still news to me. That Facebook would share my profile data with a third party because some Faceboo

1) It's a race to the bottom. If Germany or France lower their taxes, Ireland will go even lower. 2) It works for Ireland to have low taxes, because they are a small country collecting the tax for the entire profits in the EU. Even if

They would be just begging for the limit to be removed then though. Like the current 'tax optimization' schemes have given rise to this proposal.

Yes, sorry, if that wasn't clear. By victims I mean the people whose data was harvested of course.

Technically perhaps correct, but for the victims it seems rather irrelevant to me. In a data breach, someone would have used a technical vulnerability or some other (e.g. social engineering) vulnerability of Facebook to get illegitimate acc

How about making them highly visible by, say, painting them red and putting flashing lights on top of them? Difficult to blame the emergency vehicles when the semi-autonomous car fails to detect something that stands out so much.

I have been flying mostly within Europe, and have never seen this. For my flights gates are usually printed on the boarding pass and known well in advance (sometimes they do change, however). Half an hour before the gate closes seems quite

I was quite surprised by the statement of the EFF that .at allows hiding of personal info (unless a trustee is used). My impression, from personal experience, is that this is not the case. The NIC-AT WHOIS policy also seems to indicate that

But it's not "just" a typesetting program. The TeXlive installation includes a huge amount of packages, supporting all kinds of typesetting, including maths, music sheets, pictures (TikZ), support for making posters, presenta

That is pure security by obscurity. If I know the output of the PRNG, and that this method is being used, I also know the random number. So attacking it is no harder than attacking the PRNG itself.

Would you mind providing some background to that story? It seems obdev is based in Vienna, Austria. What request was there? And why would they need to battle it (rather than toss it into a paper bin)? It doesn't seem like there would b

No, it doesn't. It assume that you know exactly that the password is a Diceware password. The standard word list has 7776 entries, giving 7776^6 ~ 2.2*10^23 combinations for a 6 word passphrase.

Out of interest, what do you consider to be the correct pronunciation of CHAR? There seems to be considerable variation in how people pronounce it (see e.g. [1,2]). Personally I have always used the '/tʃɑr/' one, and sim

Funny, if you swap the order of the operands in the multiplication, GCC 7.0 with -O3 does optimize it away: int retNum(int num, int num2) { return (num2 * num)/num; } now becomes retNum(int, int): mov

Sure, it's concise, but I'd hardly describe ncatlab as introduction. It's more of a reference. I'd dare say the Wikipedia entry on category theory (and related links) makes a better introduction for the uninitiated. To a

I think the newer versios of the Sage Notebook use Flask, or at least there was some effort to move over to Flask sometime back. Perhaps also the Sage Math Cloud is using it. However the complexity/size of Sage has little to do with Fl

I usually go the LaTeX+Beamer route, since LaTeX is what I work with anyway and I usually need LaTeX's math typesetting. Another option is MagicPoint [1], but I have never personally used it. [1] http://member.wide.ad.jp&#x2
