I find it hard to imagine Google being leaked Not all their data, and not all at once, but a little here, a little there. The sheer amount of data It won't be possible to collect all of Google's data. It will get ea

I do wonder which part of my premise readers find unrealistic? - technology is getting more powerful and smaller - large companies can be hacked - leaked data is easily available on the net - smart glasses will become more common - apps can

I get why that would be someone's reaction. Unfortunately there's no way for me to explain what concerns me about the way things are going that doesn't make me sound like a prat :( As outlandish as my comment may come off, al

Over the next decade, a lot of Google data will leak, piling up in giant torrents (literally) forever on the net. Photos and emails and search histories from millions of users. Over the next decade, downloading and storing and processing su

We definitely need to decouple hosting from Google. It's lunacy to have a giant actor of debatable integrity (ie: Alphaboogle) hosting video for the entire internet — the entire internet!!!

The only Google domains I allow on my pi.hole are youtube.com and a google subdomain that serves the css for youtube. Nobody who can afford to pay for a reputable webmail provider should be on Gmail. If not for privacy, because its design i

Some part of the company is surely not okay with it. I assume many employees have been wrestling with their conscience for months or years. I had my own experience, once, leaving a company due to ethical concerns: it took me a year and a

Our design creates a visual pattern from combinations of up to 172 spots of light The article goes on to state that the trial used 10 of these. So I guess the quality would work equivalently to a 40x40 pixel resolution or something

I don't think EBU R128 is ancient, or anything. The units are LUFS, which is basically dB with an offset. I'm not an expert here, but I know the loudness measurement is perceptual. I ported existing EBU R128 code to Swift to measu

Yeah, that's another problem with the design of the web, and kind of a significant one! Somewhat pointless to link to external documents when half of them won't be around next year.

I wouldn't be surprised if this becomes a thriving industry in the future. The internet has created a world in which, no matter where you go, there is never an escape from your past, no easy way to pack your bags and start fresh. On to

No worries. I'm biased in favor of the Atlantic, so that's why it wasn't clearer to me. My original gripe about your post is moot, anyways, since the comments did not, in fact, fill up with culture war nonsense.

Why take liberties with the original title? The new title doesn't tell the reader what the linked article is about. Aside from that, given the polarization of our current time, it isn't clear whether "prime example" is s

I'm not an expert on the ins-and-outs of floating-point numbers, but I've always heard fp types have a disproportionately large amount of their accuracy at values < 1. My guess is that it's not that wasteful sticking with

I don't like "ratio" because, though this might just be me, I already have a bad habit of assuming, incorrectly, that every ratio in my code is meant to stay smaller than +1.
