hint: the same way attribution happened in the early days. google sends id abc to shoes.com and id xyz to news.com. both sends those ids back to google's own adserver. presto, google knows you are seeing those two ads.

well, google consumer products are not exactly know for being "premium" in anything.

to be honest, any moderm AP will do the job. processing power increased by a lot recently and the spec is mostly just narrowing down what enterprise gear used to do for years as an "extra". e.g. wifi6 (ax) is just officializing be

right, if you know how cookies and urls work, all that can happen with zero cookies and some query parameters, like the ones google search surreptitious add on every search result. cookie synch, It's a freaking industry standard. And y

never said it is not widely used or not effective. Just saying that it won't matter much if removed from the equation. I mean, if something makes your life easier, you would be a fool to not use it. but that is like saying not having a

btw, the only way to fix this mess and not break the internet in the short term is to fix the UI. not the black magic hidden from the user. Just show 1st class useful controls on the browser UI for cookies and the problem solves itself. wha

that is pointless and show a lack of understanding of the core issue. first, there were tons of x86 android devices. samsung tab3 to name the last one i used. second, most of the code on android is tainted GPL code. technically GPL was supp

Crazy how people buy computers nowadays based on which OS you are allowed to run on it, right? Almost feel like the early 80s all over again, but less for technical reasons.

you are not wrong. My /mistake/ is that in most of the world, libertarian means US-progressist and liberal means US-libertarian. it's confusing. i may have even screwed up the terms here as i'm multitasking. look up wiki

Contribute to uBlock and bring no-ads to everyone instead. having brave control which ads you see, will lead to the same awful situation when adBlockPlus was stolen for profit: any company could pay to be whitelisted.

couldn't agree more. Brave browser is applying startup "break things faster" to user privacy. All fine and dandy when it is some curious silicon valley engineer playing with new tech at home, but 'selling' that to p

oh boy! are you assuming the people responsible for GPU drivers are going to write what is basically a real time code signature detection and not screw up with ton of false positives to be debugged at the cost of the game studios?

I do not think it is supposed to be new. Everyone knows the flaws but downplay it by a lot . (negative proofs doesn't get funding and all that...) I see this as a very funny way to recall what we always knew. Like a court jester remin

isn't a closed implementation adversarial to those benefits? I mean any implementation can handle the signing etc, as the operations are an open standard. But running the actual pgp implementation on a system you have no access to sour

They do not have to. Why on earth would anyone have to understand the intricacies of A.I., other than the people implementing it to be held fully accountable for their work? laws should not care about the means. only the results you want to

The answer is pretty obvious: by not caring if it is under 500ms delay. unless you get a Quantum A.I. that can predict seconds into the future... mine just said musk will start a Q.A.I. company with some shady zero-equity A-round disguised
