Can't adtech companies associate that cookie with the category and build a profile over multiple pages? Then they can correlate the data and identifiers Google provides to any that they collect on their own (e.g. their own pixels serve

The ads might not track you, but you might be tracked when downloading the podcast and the included ads might be personalized. I've noticed that the ads in certain podcasts are completely different when downloaded from a different loca

Confusingly, you can statically link a dynamic library (i.e. the dynamic library includes all its dependencies statically instead of recursively depending on more dynamic libraries). You can even link it in such a way that the dynamic libra

This could just mean pseudoanonymization. I.e. they staple you medical information to your IP, a cookie, or an advertising ID. A buyer can deanonymize that kind of data in many cases.

Without fsync, the dirty page can sit in RAM and not even be sent to the disk, so a battery backup for the disk wouldn't solve data loss.

There are requirements beyond that including that it's unrelated to anything your employer does. If you work at Google or a similarly broad tech giant, unfortunately that means they probably own the IP of almost anything you could do d

I think the question being asked is why dont they just break EU law if they dont have a physical presence there (i.e. their assets can't be siezed, and they can't be arrested).

It sounds like they own the copyright and are dual licensing. However they don't accept contributions (without a copyright assignment) since they wouldn't be able to dual license the contribution.

Regardless of the whatever the GDPR actually says and even if ML is a complete black box, I would be very happy at least knowing my input features to ML algorithms. e.g. If I'm denied a loan, I want to learn the various "facts&quo

Urgent care facilities often don't have equipment like a CT scanner, so they can end up redirecting patients to the ER anyway.

Self-driving cars can significantly reduce the need for parking space, which in itself is not great for the environment and causes many transit distances to be longer. I think it's possible that self driving cars could increase total d

They have individual ratings for different regions on that page, and they rate Germany/West Poland as Critically Endangered, so the article isn't just making it up. Maybe a more accurate wording would be "endangered species i

The cigar seller sells its customer list to a data broker or uses a third party service that does the same (e.g. it uses your email address as a user identifier in a third party analytics product). Then advertisers buy that data.

There are some excerpts in other comments, but it's essentially a dense brain dump for almost 2 hours. I dont think you can get a meaningful "tl;dr"-style summary short enough that you wouldn't just ask tl;dr again.

Doesn't squash and rebase eliminate this problem? It removes all those possibly broken intermediate commits once it's in master. I'll add that another annoying thing about rebasing is that if you make multiple changes to the

I'm not sure FUSE is all that useful for that. It still goes through the kernel and additionally roundtrips through userspace again. I think the only advantage is the convenience of not having to do kernel development to make a filesys

I could have sworn that Netflix had an open source library for sending encrypted responses to the browser that had to be decrypted with EME. I can't find it now though. The cdm api in chrome at least allows for decrypting raw bytes. I&

Getting an extension reviewed can take months. They periodically publish how many have been in the queue for over 10 days, but they otherwise dont say how long the tail is. It's long.

After studying the slides, it looks like they do a Diffie Hellman-like exchange of user identifiers. g_i = Google's identifier for customer i. s_j = Merchant identifer for customer j. If g_i == s_j then customer i == j. These identifie
