And all my friends list could be shared with third parties with abandon!

Do you consider your privacy settings your personal information? Do you believe companies should just be exposing that kind of information to random other companies through an api?

If you consider the Cambridge Analytica stuff a privacy problem, then open protocols are absolutely the worst possible thing for privacy.

But what does it mean to "throw [the key] away"? Are you operating at scale? I hope you have a very robust backup system (including enough that you can even recover from something like the Sony hack), and so you're going to n

Well, it could be because they've had 6+ months to figure out what to do about one, and just a few weeks for the other.

Your conclusion doesn't really make sense. The EFF was talking about this data being shared with app developers, they were not talking about Facebook collecting this data. Facebook only needs to do the latter to run ads against it.

I'm curious if they have data about how often users need to take over from autopilot in that area. It seems like this shitty behavior was easily reproducible, so...

Based on (1) my experience seeing that people in non-Tesla vehicles tend to cross late from the 85 ramp to 101, (2) the wear pattern in that photo, (3) the number of Tesla vehicles travelling that route, and (4) the numerous examples of Tes

Considering that tesla w/ autopilot enabled is less safe than tesla w/ autopilot disabled, I'm going to go with "no, if you control for those factors it doesn't reduce fatalities".

The initial 2018 target was 500,000 cars (forecast made mid 2017). Today, they are on track to make 120,000. When this particular company says that their 2020 target is 1M cars, it's a totally meaningless statement.

2020? Just last year they said they'd do it by 2018.
316.
by cjhopman 9y ago
But, in its first year it wasn't 50000, it was less than 3000. Even if you count full year since release, it looks like it's going to be closer to 20000 than 50000. Tesla claimed they'd produce as many as 200000 Model 3s in 2

That doesn't make sense. By your reasoning, Google is reselling your location data by allowing Android apps to access it after getting your permission.

by cjhopman 9y ago
> Google might know a lot about you but they have never exposed that to third party apps It depends on what you mean by exposed. In the context of Cow Clicker (or even the CA stuff) the data wasn't really exposed, it was shared. Goo

by cjhopman 9y ago
Of course other companies do this. Look at all the different permissions an Android app can request. Go look at the Google+ APIs. Go look at Microsoft's Xbox Live APIs.

Yes, I understand that it's designed that way. My point was that, in the context of Chrome using ninja, the claim that "Ninja is used because it's simple, multiplatform and very fast. The mainstream alternatives offer at most

"it's simple": yep, so much so that you inevitably need a meta-build system. In the context of Chrome, the build system only offers 2 out of 3.

IIRC, exit polling was just fine.

People who "understand blockchains" don't agree on what exactly distinguishes something as blockchain technology, and people (and companies) are claiming all kinds of things as using "blockchain technology".

Do you really not know why? Or is the obvious answer just too offensive?

I'm confident that you are correct, there's a lot of people doing the work that know exactly where the problems are. I'm also confident that a lot of people doing the work are sure that they know what the problem is but are q

Your comment says more about you than about Google. That search works just fine for me.

I wouldn't at all be surprised if we learn that Uber had written software to detect which users use Lyft and then systematically underestimate the times to pick up for those users.
