They are very likely aware of backlash but since this is a easily defendable hill with a very slippery slope down the way, it is of their interest to push for it IMHO.

Human can't efficiently write or parse XML or json, though. In some scenarios CSV hits the right spot to be accessible to human and computer, and the table can be laid out so that one can sort/grep/awk to quickly gain some in

Even for the child protection purpose alone... the 30 photos threshold thing is meaningless unless the false positive of the hash matching process becomes transparent. To achieve good recall rate, the hashing has to be in feature space inst

I have a noob question: what's the right way to use these tokens without password managers? I believe Github recommended assigning it as an environment variable in docs related to this deprecation, but isn't a (managed) server fre

I agree with you that they have the right to deny service, and scraping at scale is not same as regular queries. Suggesting FB's react was meant to protect (not theirs) data is what I feel not about right, though.

I'm not familiar with this research field but I would be concerned about what's the price tag came with that offer, and whether accepting that dataset is indeed in align with the research purpose, e.g. does it contain the relevant

According to the next paragraph, "Facebook provided about how the ad was targeted, and when the ad was shown to a user, among other things.". Haven't used FB in ages but I assume it's like "why am I seeing this&quot

I agree with the sentiment, but the line between read-and-record permission vs read-and-brun permission is really vague here. Scraping is exercising the right to read is the right to download in an automated manner on behalf of a user. Scra

Facebook has no business in dictating what plugins the users would like to have on their browsers. Sure they can ban scraping because reasons, but both this or the Cambridge Analytica case are not data-leak unless we are assuming that a use

The "afraid of" or fear is bad framing. Plenty of (justified) distrust and privacy concerns do not fall into this rhetoric. Not yours to view and judge != it's hidden with bad intent.

In my experience with NCBI it's better mostly because other tools or schemes provided by them kinda sucked, but FTP servers were there since forever and grew to be well organized and stable. Outside of this niche, no.

Check out NCBI, terabytes of public data are being shared on FTP servers. There are other protocols/APIs, but FTP has been a much better experience in many use cases. Those files are also linked all over the place in NCBI pages and els

FTP might be dying in other sectors, but at least in biomed research, I would use FTP anyday when the alternative protocol needs a client app and a bunch of configurations. It's also handy when sharing data. Browser support is importan

Macs used to have crappy webcams and most people did not care though. Webcam is hardly a differenciating factor and recent laptops already include them anyway.

My concern is that as other comments mentioned in this post, the majority of recent laptops already have webcams without OEM licensing pressure. Webcam is also a piece of hardware that doesn't require one to be tech literate to figure

While it's true that almost all recent laptops have built-in webcam and most of the time they don't break themselves out of blue, I'd rather have the OS to not care about whether I do have one. None of microsoft's busine

I agree it's a hyperbolic piece, but at the same time Windows11 as an OS demanding an auxiliary hardware isn't looking very good.

It's not mentioned in the article, but services could differ between app stores if we head in this direction, not only for privacy terms. For instance if China somehow get VPN apps off the shelves from HK's app store and people th
