Moving everything to first-party tracking could potentially solve a lot of the problems. It could reduce the across-the-entire-web tracking, categorizing and labeling of users, and instead limit analytics to useful things like "what pe

I don't disagree, but I don't think this would not work for all copyright. It might work for "personal use" reproduction - books, video games. I don't think it would work for the 'public performance' part

I guess my comment came off a little harsh. I was actually interested in at what point this should be considered intentional. At what point should Google be obligated to hide this (mis)information, or show some disclaimer? After one "f

According to the author, he was asked by Google to give feedback on the info they had about him. He did, and they ignored it. What will it take before you consider them to be lying?

I stopped reading Freakonomics after their horrible climate change chapter in the 2nd book. I don't know much about climate science, but even I could recognize a lot of the basic errors in that chapter. That made it hard for me to trus

I guess they knew where they were, and how far away the port was. When the tanker was a fair distance away, they mistook it for the port, even further away. When they got closer to the tanker, it was too late.

I doubt you could introduce backdoors in big software (Messenger, iMessage, WhatsApp) using only one/a few employees - unless everyone who does code reviews happens to live in Australia.

I don't post on facebook, and rarely read posts on facebook. But Twitter can _not_ replace events, groups and messenger.

Wow. Not a word about the man's number of sexual partners in the marriages that stayed together or divorced. On the other hand, it's apparently very interesting if the woman is a virgin or not when married.

Pretty sure it's not OAuth, but Oath. Also pretty sure they named the company Oath so that people would think "oh this is another OAuth permission box, OK".

See, now, the good way of doing this is to specify the exact dimensions of the image in html/css. Same perceived load speed of the page, no junk.

I bet you that if I cut the blocks to 84.7 mm they would do just fine. If they don't, you take a file to one of them. And you have to do it like this with wood, anyway - because of imprecise saws, and moisture changes.

Also, in the german text the chapter markers ("Erstes Kapitel", "Zweites Kapitel") have been pulled into the paragraph following them, but they're missing completely in the english text.

I wouldn't mind seeing what my former classmate posts herself. I mind seeing the post from WhateverLADMeme that she 'liked'. It's easy for me to see the difference, and I think it would be easy for Facebook as well.

The reason Facebook has to police content, is that they want to be a platform where you can reach 'the world' and 'go viral', not just a platform where you can reach two or three degrees of separation. If Facebooks algor

I'm only a few years younger than you, and I also use Facebook a lot. But I only use groups, events and messenger. It's impressive how bad their UI is for my use, though. It seems like Facebook is trying to be useless for importan

Yes, I use KeePass and Kee for Firefox. Before WebExtensions it was perfect. Now, it has a dialog that tries to intercept basic/negotiate auth, but it never works. Luckily, keepass has a very nice auto-type functionality that works per

Not always. With 2FA a key-logger isn't enough, since the 2nd factor can't be replayed. A valid session cookie might be enough, though.
