I don't want to come across too harshly, since you've engaged in the discussion and revealed that you work for qualcomm, but: Do you morally and ethically agree with the position that Qualcomm should get paid a licence fee for the

Ok, after reading your response, I was somewhat confused, and now looking at the code, it seems like the drivers licenses are done in California is quite a bit different than here, in Australia. It seems that in California, at least, there

And no poor non-Hispanic people driving through on El Camino, getting from A to B? I don't know the local geography, but I would assume that a main thoroughfare would get _some_ non-residents.

Are Hispanic people unlicensed at such a high rate relative to the general population that it would fit this data? Also, > I don't think most police would let anyone have a pass on unlicensed/suspended is a direct contradiction

Also, if it's totally not racist at all, then why did they stop providing the information as soon as this analysis was put up? That makes them look way more suspicious than they already did.

I think I just posted the same thing you did. Also: Strawman: 'Well these people all drive crappy cars with stuff wrong with them' Teardown: Where's all the traffic violations for poor white people? Poor black people? Further

So... if being unlicensed is not a sufficient justification for a traffic stop, then why are these drivers being pulled over in the first place? Are you saying that they get pulled over for something else, and it so happens that they are al

One of the big differences between 1st-party and 3rd-party tracking is that Bob at Bob's Cakes can only see what you're doing on Bob's site (1st-party tracking), but if Bob uses Google Analytics, and so does Jane, and Sarah,

Ghostery primarily blocks 3rd-party advertising javascript - not at the session cookie level, and not for the website you're actually using.

I think a number of different issues are being conflated here. Secondly, in my ordinary web browsing, I'm not trying to avoid all tracking whatsoever - I'm much more interested in blocking the 99.9% low-hanging fruit of commercial

Your comment is FUD. The article you link to starts with truth and then drifts into FUD at the end. See https://adblockplus.org/en/acceptable-ads#optout (I have opted out). I am annoyed that they accept money to whitel

What's the time lag until we run out of IPv4 addresses at the VPS/hosting provider and broadband ISP level? I see the situation getting progressively more dire, and presumably these notifications are there to try and get people mo

You're making a false dichotomy - you imply the only choices are a) allowing tracking, or b) not using sites that track. As I implied in my other comment, this is a false dichotomy; by using browser extensions, I can and do control my

Actually, I can use your site and benefit from it, while simultaneously blocking your ability to track me. It's called Ghostery (and similar browser extensions). I use Ad-Block Plus and Ghostery for all my web browsing, and have both A

That makes sense I suppose. I note though that you still haven't described what the application actually does: 'better manage their people' could mean a lot of things. I'm sure you'll get to that though ;).

More to the point, the design doesn't tell my what your service actually DOES; some sort of calendaring thing? The category it's competing in (and thus its feature set) is not obvious to me (a 21yo professional software developer working re
