The SOE's are a minuscule short list compared to the billions in goods that the Trade War has escalated to.

You don't need to. If you've ever filled out a form anywhere online to access an article, it's likely you opted in to having your data sold to broker agencies, who sell it for lead gen. The same goes for magazine subscripti

Right, and taking this further: artists pay for the materials and services to do what they enjoy. If people enjoy watching competitive sports and are willing to pay, should they be banned from doing so?

Except they didn't. Project Dragonfly was cancelled after Google employees rebelled against it. A better example would be how Apple quietly shared iCloud user data with the Chinese government.

How so?

by bduerst 7y ago
No I did not. You can read the comment thread and see that. That's your own straw man.

And you missed the point where I said that it was an oddly narrow goalpost. Also, how exactly was what I said "not accurate at all"? I accuarately said Apple was sharing iCloud data and encryption keys with the Chinese government

Intelligent design is a misnomer which has many forms, but at it's core it challenges naturalistic causation for abiogenesis on prebiotic Earth. It doesn't posit anything about other intelligence or life, just that the biological

I agree, but keep in mind abiogenesis is probably one of the tallest orders for chemistry. I'm glad scientists are at least exploring possible explanations, even if it means possibly disproving the mechanisms.

Yep, Chinese users only. The odd part is that the internet blew up at Google for even proposing it and later cancelling it with project Dragonfly (also only for Chinese users), but Apple quietly went ahead and just did it without many pe

In early 2018, Apple forced their users to opt-in to migrating iCloud encryption keys and data to Chinese data centers: https://www.reuters.com/article/us-china-apple-icloud-insigh... Chinese government nationalized th

You specifically stipulated that the data optimization was bad - then why is data optimization of ads harmful? Doesn't serving relevant ads have more utility?

>Specifically Apple-related and North American examples? That's an oddly narrow goalpost. Apple shares user encryption keys with the Chinese government, for example, giving the Chinese government access to all iCloud pictures, mess

So using data for optimization should be banned?

You mean, should free advertising-subsidized services even exist?

Even though it is usually reviewed, the methods of data gathering are usually not spelled out in the contracts themselves. Instead you have a distribution of liability where the data broker agency assumes the risk of having gathered and&#x

Isn't that a false dichotomy though? You can have both, and I'm not entirely convinced that universities are disqualifying candidates based on opinions in their applications.

SMBs hire at lower frequencies, have less standard practices, and more often than not have people interviewing who are not trained or prepared to do so. Larger businesses or competitive startups also have on staff or outsource to professio

Or Pelotron could be the start of communal home fitness, taking the place of gym (e.g. Soul Cycle) subscription fees. Point is there is no way to know for certain.

Gaslighting is a negative term. You don't want to gaslight your family member, you just want to help them, which this service enables you to do. Just because the copy doesn't mention it doesn't mean it's not there.

False equivalence. Using models on a MySQL database is different than exploiting Facebook APIs and sharing voter information with foreign agencies.

Same - I don't eat any cephalopods now. As an avid diver who has interacted with octopodes and cuttlefish, they really are fantastic creatures and it bothers me to see them on a plate. I also worked on a farm growing up, and though t

Citing cherry-picked data sources, spreading conspiracy misinformation, and making misrepresentations is not credible behavior for a wordpress blog, but I can see you're of the opinion that it is.
