How about huge helium balloons attached to a hose that lets a compressor suck the helium back down to ground level. The hose/tether would be on a spool attached to a generator. You could even do this from the ocean floor using regula

Devils advocate here, but what if facebook had an Opt-In, where users can allow the features they've entered to limit the ads shown to them? What if I only want ads (from food to housing) in Spanish or Chinese? Can my preference as a

It was one of many DARPA projects to see what can be done with the table scraps of open/unclassified data available. The ship beaconing data was in that category. As was uber sample data, backpage data, darkweb ecommerce, blockchain

I had nearly 4500 'friends' I un-friended from back when I did Zynga MafiaWars botting. I wonder what I look like on their stats hahah

Yes, my guess is either public IP or GPS colocation from phone apps, possibly even using the wifi AP name if you both had phones connected. If civilian GPS is good to a few meters, it's easy to look up who lives in that radius.

Thanks for that tidbit. It would be nice to be grandfathered in, I can see it being a huge PITA to ask millions of people for proof--which probably gives them even more sensitive data like a photo of an ID. I assume your privacy laws trav

We used the same temporal colocation analysis to find ships smuggling things at sea. ;)

For a while I had enabled Messenger to handle texts on my phone, because it kept nagging me to do so, and also the one built in to the phone was terrible. So that means for a time they saw all my github/gmail authenticator login codes

Seems reasonable. I can see the <insert perpetually outraged millennial news site> headline now: "An open letter to Facebook: How dare you recommended I be friends with my rapist"

Can we just change our info to say we're residing in some protected part of Europe? I've already gone in and falsified all of the good stuff, it wouldn't hurt to 'move' again if it means they have to apply an extra

My old boss loved to play big brother on us with LinkedIn. She'd get notified when we were updating our stuff, and I think she could see when we were messaging with recruiters/etc. I'm not entirely sure what the limits were

Exactly. I downloaded mine and there were entire chat histories missing, and some of the ones I explored were incomplete. I could see more data in the actual browser chat interface than what was in the download. It didn't include po

We joke at the office about going to update our linkedin after terrible meetings. In fact the act of interacting with that site at all, either from updates or clicking emails, is probably a sign I'm looking for greener pastures.

I'm not sure how Google qualifies as a private company, but I would like to play devils advocate. Tell me how I can refuse to bake a cake for someone because their personal views differ from mine. I dare you.

I came here looking for one too. All they offer is the CSV that powers a Neo4J graph, not a link to the 1.4TB of files (which is what I want to ingest)

I find these baiting titles tiresome, and I generally assume (even if it makes an ass out of me) that the author is splitting hairs or wants to grandstand on some inefficiency that most of us knew was there already. (I'm assuming if t

That's pretty cool, do you suppose the water depth is in fathoms, meters, or just incorrect?

From my experience observing its usage, it can refer to the willful beta-[noun] of any topic. They would call a person a 'cuck' for not taking a lead or position of power, just as easily as they call a country 'cucked'

Lets say a movie previously would have shown 3 out of 5 stars. Where does that fit in with the binary thumbs up/down? I think they are just doing this because recently some actors movies are being attacked with 1 star ratings for bei

We are stretching the (possibly false) analogy that Sam is an individual and that Marvin is also an individual. In reality, US Sam is an evolving (or revolving) representative electorate of a lands citizens, and 'Sam' controls the
