SSIDs aren't private information, but it does seem like the natural privacy of scale should apply. I'm ok with people who are nearby being aware of my SSID... does that mean it should be ok for Google to collect millions of SSIDs

I think many fans are oblivious to the scale of tampering, they just remember the few instances that get called out (which are usually particularly sloppy cases weaponized by the opposing team). There are multiple people in the league that

Yes, important to note that Microsoft is going after a competitor here; there are a bunch of data brokers that have been scraping LinkedIn for years and this is the case they're going after. I hope the Supreme Court can see through t

Doug Bowser is the president of Nintendo of America. Surname usually isn't exercised as a choice... but he probably got slightly more attention for it at Nintendo. Maybe that was enough! I think there's something to the name theor

$680 is probably somewhat typical, I pay $1000/mo for family coverage. It only covers "medically necessary" procedures as deemed by the insurance company (there are some laws requiring certain procedures to be covered). You h

Wow... maybe I should find a different job with better insurance. I pay ~$12,000 a year for premiums, have an $8k deductible, and don't get an HSA.

Yeah maybe... it's just exhausting. It feels like there are so many presumptions about how someone is because of what they make or where they live that you don't even have a chance to befriend people who might be in a different ec

Holy shit, $500 a year for health insurance? I pay twice that a month and don't even get an HSA option. Seems weird to put so much into retirement funds if your plan is to retire in your 30s, the penalties of touching that before 60

I live in a poorer part of a rich city and even things like playdates for kids are difficult to arrange because people have been conditioned to fear this part of the city. "It's too far" is a common excuse, but the same paren

It's a little eccentric, but it's not all that different from geocaching. Plus, free food! I've also dumpster dived a little bit (decent amount of crossover between foragers and dumpster divers), grocery stores toss out tons

I believe Amazon is more like 50%+ now, and to compared to brick & mortar... Wal-Mart is considered huge and still only ~10% of the market. There are more than 3 grocery chains in your link, I think you may have overlooked the regional

This is an incredibly expensive treatment meant for incredibly desperate people. If you were in a situation where a parent had alzheimers it would be hard not to feel guilty if you didn't try it, no matter the price. To approve the dru

I understand the reasoning, but I prefer schlock versus the cross-site data required to serve me personalized ads. With the internet at our disposal I don't understand why anyone would ever click on an ad. If you need or want something
