Nah I get that. It doesn't really answer the question from a moral perspective though. My hunch is they just have no idea what their pixels do, so the moral question wasn't raised.

How is this even remotely the same thing? For one, HN doesn't use pixels to communicate directly with tiktok, Facebook, etc. And what does publicly accessible data have to do with this?

Why would they even send search parameter info to Facebook, tiktok, etc? Genuinely don't see how that makes it any better. It's arguably worse.

Erm, that webmd article you linked is for strontium, not strontium ferrite -- Sr vs SrO6Fe2O3.

My brother, an artist who has not forgotten how to draw, immediately gave me his copy of Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain when I asked the same question a few years back. https://www.drawright.com/

I've tried looking into this in Chicago. Fax records that would show how often a fax is made to the specific fax number aren't accessible because Chicago PD uses a third party service to send faxes, and they don't keep logs.

Vim has had a legitimate impact on my life. Over the past 15 years I've been using it, "set -o vi" and similar in psql/ipython get added into my rc files almost immediately on a new host. Many, many hours upon hours of l

Haven't owned a car for years, but when I did, those signs just never... hit.. enough to warrant a significant behavior change. Obviously it is a lot, but that's just not how it feels while on the road. Can't imagine I&#x27

Because I use Linux, I can't make any local changes until I log into a meeting. For example, I can only change my display name after joining a meeting. Ignoring the laughable lack of Linux support for a moment... will I need to log in

And one of the advertisement's X doesn't work and just opens the link. It'd be funny if it wasn't sad.

Hah, fair enough!

What kind of car do you have? Your car almost definitely shares its gps location to the manufacturer and downstream data brokers.

It's because their confidence in deidentifying data doesn't match the significant risk. If you think it's worth it and are willing to take that risk that's on you and those you risk harming.

One of the best, but also strangest explanation of DNS I've seen is from "A Cat Explains DNS". It's wonderful. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ZtFk2dtqv0

For sure :) Very similar things happen when investigating criminal cases. There's possibly hundreds or thousands of instances of some type of misconduct or improper arrest... but none of the defense attorneys with those sorts of cases

On that we both agree.

You're a little unclear there, friend. Can you please articulate your point a bit more clearly?

What's being discussed is the release of information directly to the public, not strictly to researchers.

by chaps 3y ago
You're moving goalposts, friend. What you're suggesting and what OP are suggesting are in two completely different categories of disclosure extent. I don't think anybody here is suggesting that no data should be available t

Not sure it's fair to say it's a red herring, or that I'm "co-opted" like you suggest. Transparency is kind of my main dig -- I get it. Like, I recently helped a small team of researchers with some FOIA requests to

Correct. I've done a fair amount of de-obfuscation work and it's frighteningly trivial sometimes.

.....do you genuinely think that the data can be sufficiently anonymized to protect the privacy of minors?

I think a bigger issue is whether the school system should be allowed to keep any information private in the first place. Are you genuinely suggesting that the public should have access to all attendance records, grades, test score

Why is firefox telling me this site is a potential security risk?

I know this is kind of offtopic, but y'all _genuinely_ need to up your UX game. Lots of popups, strange blurred text in the background that makes me think the interface itself is a popup, a youtube URL entered into the text box that..

Journalists are already heavily involved in capital raising through applying for grants and scholarships. Our time is already thin, so this article is effectively asking us to switch careers or become part-time investors.

by chaps 3y ago
...you're greatly missing the point that none of us have any money to invest.

by chaps 3y ago
Why is the base assumption here that journalists be the ones to pay for this?
