Yeah, I don't see how this ethics in geo is any different from ethics in IT (or technology, or science) in general: There's more money to be made and easier to find VC funding in the more lucrative but less ethical applications. T

I don't think the personal data of (the few) Mapillary users is of any interest to Facebook either. What they need is the personal data of the masses and for that they already have and keep growing Facebook, Instagram and Whatsapp, and

To pick an example from the article, it's important that the simple MBTiles format exists if the OGC GeoPackage is too complicated. This way, more good can be achieved with less resources and fewer experts.

I think that we as makers should professionally concentrate on finding and amplifying the good uses of technology instead of trying to stop the bad uses. The latter is a profession for the police, the judiciary and the lawmakers, and what t

Mapillary does not have and is not selling personal data. Mapillary's main dataset is photos of (public) streets, and as openly licensed it was available for Facebook's use even before this sale.

Mapillary is cool technology and important to OpenStreetMap in many ways: 1) Satellite imagery only gets you so far regarding object visibility and recognition. 2) GPS locations and traces are inaccurate. 3) Google's ecosystem provides

I'm not sure I understand. Are you asking whether Firefox supports browser extensions? If so, the answer is yes. Firefox has always had extensions including epic breakthroughs such as Adblock (Plus) from 2002 and Firebug from 2006. (Go

You do realise that you don't get to choose between getting tracked by Google or "supporting" the goals of Mozilla Foundation (such as freedom of speech for all including your political enemies)? That is, by choosing Chrome y

The difference being that when Chrome is unusable for developers (such as hiding the URL!), it's always a feature not a bug?

Yeah, and as a language code, "se" refers to Northern Sami.

It can be confusing how the country code for Sweden is .se (from " S verig e "?) but the language code for Swedish is sv (from " sv enska"?).

Unfortunately, many things can break text search in web applications: components that render into DOM only when they are visible and in the viewport, components that are covered by something else so you can't see them (even though you

Is this compatible with AWS Lambdas on some level? Could it be? What about FastCGI/WSGI/... compatibility? I'm thinking it could be really nice for hobby projects and for developing on a laptop.

Is there a decent browser (or other GUI framework) in Deno though? It has a wrapper for zserge/webview but I haven't used a webview in ages.

And they sometimes say open source software is blind to users' needs... I suppose part of the problem here is that even though Jira is a paid product, the users are not the customer (and the enterprises don't care).

If the de facto method refers to "chmod 777", I wouldn't call that securing ;-) But indeed, if there is a separate user account for the application, then chmod can be used for some control to its access to files and directori

Typically, chmod and iptables are not used to restrict applications. Applications are restricted by virtual machines, containers, sandboxes, AppArmor profiles, SELinux policies…
