If they hypothetically solved this problem, wouldn’t that be amazing for the security and privacy world?l to have a model they could copy?

The bad trains in Russia are strategic: it’s so that European conquerors can’t use the rails when the Russians get pushed back, but the Russians are used to it so they manage to function just fine (wwii logistics joke...)

How do you evaluate the security or privacy of providers like this one? I think years ago they or one of their fans went all over Quora and Reddit saying good things about it, but I wasn’t sure in the end how to evaluate their claims or fin

The HTC privacy policy had some glaring issues in it years ago. Is the new vive different?

What prevents the update, just a software flag, or will the system not run the newer OS properly (32 bit vs 64 etc)?

Amazing how invasive such an expensive product is. I sold mine 2-3 years ago and still feel icky about when I read the privacy policy

If an innocent person had a warrant issued for them, and they were cleared, I bet employers would still routinely query those records if they were able to. It could affect people’s lives if it was too public

Well, the holiday promotion emails are spam, so it is sort of working as intended in that regard

I found the transition to be painless, but I did discover Microsoft was spam-labeling some of my emails too. I was using a custom domain though

ProtonMail is better for privacy, and I think fastmail could read your emails if they wanted to - even if they don’t want to after the Australian data access laws. However, the fastmail privacy policy is quite good (I emailed them about it

Some companies claim to own any skills you develop that would not have earned at a usual job - I don’t really want some former employer claiming I can’t work at my next job because of the time they gave me to do online courses...

I have volume 1 and I found it hard to get into. I think it presupposes a few concepts that my university skipped - eg, the correct way to approach writing a computer science proof (it comes up really early on in the exercises). I often won

Having just come from seeing Black Friday sales: is it actually 2k, or is it “2k” with regular sales making it the actual price (which we will see before Christmas)?

I worked as a cashier once and it wasn’t the same as it is for my friends who still do. These days, they all have employment contracts, non-competes, and self checkouts taking their jobs. Back in my day, you could just leave any retail job

I’m just annoyed at my links being hijacked. When I click a link, my intention is to visit someone’s page, not to view it through some sort of creepy iframe. When I go to share a link, why is it a google link instead of the newspaper? Why d

I want to suggest that Cliqz has actually spent a lot of time being open and it really looks like at least one person at the company is putting a sincere effort into user privacy. We should be extremely wary, but at this point I think their

OS spying is so much more invasive than application or service spying because you can’t opt out as easily. You can go without Facebook but a lot of people just need windows (for their jobs if nothing else, though I sure wish unity3d ran bet
