Sure, you can have access to my phone's contact list with all of my friends and family members numbers and names, some with addresses and birthdays, etc., to check if they are also on the service I just signed up for! How convenient!

That would be as silly as a computer company getting a patent for a rectangle with rounded corners.

I just hit the "L" key a few times and forward by 10 seconds for ads that are part of the content. uBlock origin blocks all of the youtube ads that aren't part of the "broadcast."

Yes it was, they later changed their stance. In the announcement for iPhone, Jobs on stage explicitly stated that all you need to develop an app was html and modern javascript with API's into the phone hardware. And they would basicall

The whole show is copyrighted. It was explicitly part of the act as Elon was called up on stage with Dave where it took place.

Yes, it was a DMCA takedown, for showing a copyrighted Dave Chappelle clip from his unreleased new special. Context is good. You can't just walk into a paid performance show, record it with your cellphone and release it willy nilly.

Here's a really good interview with one of the former technical directors of NSA, Bill Binney, who resigned just after 9/11. He disagrees. Conspiracy theory? Hah. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3owk7vEEOvs

Companies did just fine selling products with non-personalized targeted ads that were intended for a wider audience before there was an internet. None of this tracking is actually needed in order to sell ads or make a profit.

Not doing so would allow mere allegations to put your business on hold until the entire court process, all the way to the highest court, if applicable, is complete. It's not a loophole. It's a fundamental tenant of innocent until

They can probably just get it all from Jiffy Lube, car dealerships and places like the DMV, which plug into the computer to "check things."

I don't like this title, even though the article doesn't really mention the logistics. It implies for you to go and muck with someone else's device. I'd rather inform them and let them make up their own minds. I can&#x27

It's like a swimming pool. It takes a lot of water to initially fill it, but then it's cleaned and mostly recirculated/reused. In 2020, Intel used less water per chip than they did in 2010. https://www.intel.com&#x

Why would Apple say no? They just proved they'll likely say yes by removing airdrop in China, at request of the CCP government, because protesters were using it to pass along info bypassing the internet so it couldn't be censored.

Covid wrecked no supply chains. The overblown human reaction to it did. Oil prices were on the rise well before the Ukraine invasion.

I actually think we should pay for the things we use. Then we can retire the "if you're not paying for the product, you are the product" excuse that many just automatically throw out to justify data collection.

This will make it a lot easier to gather financial data on individuals and target ads to people who make $x. If the job and salary are posted, it will be scraped, and compared to job titles in profiles at places like LinkedIn.

Quite simply, it's basic human nature. I don't think you can name a country that its citizens would remain complacent after a nuclear attack. New York, LA, DC, Chicago suddenly get wiped off the map. You don't think the popul

I've recently taken up photogrammetry mapping with my drone. I'm quite amazed at the textured 3d output you can get from that by capturing buildings just by flying around them. I imagine it won't be too long that we just fly
