Are you aware that land use authority is delegated to cities by the state and can be un-delegated if the state so chooses? What are you going to do, secede from California? Good luck.

These advocacy groups have written and passed many bills improving land use in the state and continue to do so. Check out the legislation page: http://cayimby.org/2021-legislation/

There are many avenues for enforcement, including and up to the state taking over the city's land use powers if they are unable to comply with state law. At that point, California could issue permits to build.

Yeah it is easy to disprove: read the third paragraph of the article.

The claim about Garry is untrue. He, for example, has donated to Sonja's legal fund.

I’ve seen other people harassed by Hamasaki and been at the receiving end of it myself, so no, not really.

Hamasaki takes sides and works with prolific accounts over any salient prog vs. mod local political issue. The fact that the topic in the screenshot had to do with the BOE recall specifically is pretty irrelevant. He had probably been haras

My comment was about Hamasaki being a liar and online harasser and doesn’t have anything to do with policy positions.

John Hamasaki is a criminal defense attorney in San Francisco who was a former member of the police commission. He seems to advertise himself by being intentionally incendiary, making up lies like the police get paid overtime to participate

You’re comparing incomparable values. San Jose house prices are high because you can’t amortize the land costs. Square foot by square foot, Manhattan land is far more expensive than San Jose. Chicago land may appear cheaper, but it’s only b

It’s not a pretty loose or arbitrary standard. For example, it’s a key basis on which data sharing is regulated. The claim that it’s a weak enough definition that it doesn’t matter is inconsistent with criticism that it’s a definition which

Not sure what you’re referring to, and I doubt they’ve said they consider 3rd party app data as fair game for their own advertising targeting without invoking targeting.

by shuckles 4y ago
Your reference or comment doesn’t disprove my point, but with the way you wrote it, it seems like you think it does? When they say unrelated, they mean offered by different providers, not of different purposes.

I think you’re trying to argue Apple’s definition is contrived, but I don’t see it. Buying identifiable information from a poorly regulated data market is very unlike personalizing ads based on first party data. Apple isn’t trying particula

The analogy isn’t particularly applicable. If you engaged with many Walmart stores and they recorded that, it wouldn’t be tracking. If a Walmart agent followed you into Target and recorded what you did, it would be. The Facebook pixel and o

Yes banks and large advertising networks have data sharing agreements, the details of which I’m not privy to: https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2018/08/07/your-ba...

First of all, your definition of tracking is different from the one used by Apple. Apple’s definition of tracking is sharing information about an identifiable person between unrelated parties. Think Facebook buying all your purchases from M

You don’t see a difference between Apple using your article reading activity in their own News app and Facebook creating a shadow profile of you even if you’ve never signed up for their service which collects your entire browsing history?

by shuckles 4y ago
Apple does not track your activity across unrelated apps, websites, or the real world. They can offer personalized ads based on your interactions with Apple, which is not tracking, and they allow you to turn off that personalization. What r

Sincere question: how much of a benefit would it have been to the global poor if COVID never had an adverse impact? What if, as a side effect, other diseases were also mitigated? How are you going from a criticism of identity to the critici

Yeah his participation in local politics was very polarizing, to be polite.

The poster was positing that Elon lied about his intent to buy Twitter in order to manipulate Tesla investors, which is securities fraud. A public company executive is required to be transparent and honest about actions they take which migh

If that was his intent, it's fraud and has (in theory) criminal penalties.

Isn’t the criticism of this use case that since the exchange of value is not native to crypto itself, its worth as a medium of exchange is sensitive to governments allowing it to persist as a conduit for illegal transactions. Is it really i

This thread is about Apple’s privacy rules for App Store developers, and it’s not plainly obvious which items in the EU proposal enhance those protections at all, but the person I was responding to was insinuating that those protections hav

This question is quite ambiguous about scope and definition. In the context of Apple’s tracking protections, tracking is defined as sharing identifiable information about a customer for advertising or marketing purposes. Nothing more, nothi

This is only a criticism if you enumerate the deficiencies with the rules you believe are only justified by self-interest.

Which ad system? Their programmatic ad inventory does not support tracking, as anyone who has access to developer ads can confirm.
