Have you worked in customer service? The kind of BS that these "auditors" do that results in them being arrested doesn't come close to the BS I personally experienced on a daily basis working in retail, and somehow I was able

In any real sense the police "unions" are unique in that they're the only union that actively opposed and attacks other unions. Every union other than the police unions is attacked because they "hurt the economy" (t

What does "android style" mean here? Android has RCS which is just as insecure as SMS (encrypted chats aren't RCS, they're binary blobs using RCS as a transport mechanism - saying they're RCS is like saying iMessage

Yeah it was such a bizarre argument that highlights just how unconstitutional this is: "if we need a warrant to do this, we wouldn't be able to do it because we'd fail the probable cause part". That's not a good arg

transport encryption is literally the bare minimum for anything on the network these days (to the extent that iOS endeavors straight up blocks all the standard unencrypted protocol ports by default). But also transport encryption is not rel

Are you saying that retaliation for report a person in a hiring position making racist jokes is reasonable? Because that's what it sounds like you're saying. Racism in employment is explicitly illegal, and any Sri Lankan could now

No, the complaint is that media matters lied and slandered X by making up a story. MM isn't suing anyone, X is. Given that MM documented what they did, and plenty of others have confirmed that behavior, it seems hard to see how MM lied

No, NDAs are the tool to stop your employees leaking information. Non competes are the tools you use to avoid paying market price for your employee.

I have no problem with non-competes as long as the company is willing to buy out the non-compete period, e.g. the maximum of current total compensation or competing offer comp, plus say a 100% premium to cover opportunity cost. You might sa

Yeah, so they didn't reverse engineer anything, they literally take your password and then have you approve them registering a Mac mini they control as a trusted device in iCloud. At that point they have access to your entire iCloud ac

Ok, it's still absurd to me that RCS or Google Messages weren't E2EE from day 1 given even iMessage was doing E2EE group chats almost 5 years before the RCS "universal" profile was released so its not like they didn&#x27

My interpretation of this isn’t that they don’t have 230 protection, but that they failed to successfully argue that in their motion to dismiss. E.g it seems like they might still be allowed to argue 230 based immunity in a full trial?

Wait so google doesn’t support e2ee for more than two devices in a chat?

The problem is when what you call an ideology is actually just “acceptance of people who are different”. No one is out there telling kids that they can’t be a binary gender, no one is saying you have to be a different gender from what you w

I assume the downvotes are because that phrasing is dog whistling for “I am homo/transphobic”. Consider other variations along the same lines: “gender equality ideology” or “race equality ideology”. The inference is “I am opposed to th

Which is why this is coming up in an antitrust trial. People do talk about how “Google is legitimately better than the competition”[1] while ignoring the competition that never happens because there’s no path to profitability due to googl’s

They also closed a bunch of the bay bridge, and a bunch of local transit lines, so it's super obnoxious for people.

This is what I was unclear on - I couldn't tell if this was one-hop (and so tremendously invasive "privacy"), or two hops through an independent 3rd party (and so actually a privacy feature).

by olliej 3y ago
In that case the complaints other comments people are making are simply wrong. There isn't a privacy concern here, I think google has just burned so much trust that the _assumption_ is now that the goal is tracking.

From other comments it _sounds_ like Google's system is done as a single proxy, which is bizarre to me because it means google can see every site that is loaded which even for google seems on the nose. Apple's service is explicitl

No it absolutely does not. I think you're confusing CT with OCSP, which is the browser checking to see if a certificate has been revoked, which died a death not just because it was incredibly slow and unreliable (CA's OCSP server

Remember this kind of BS when governments and police talk about how there secret access won't be exploited by criminals.
