I'm a marathoner and need to go on long training runs. My Garmin running Watch has music (Spotify) which I can play via Bluetooth. I don't want to carry around a phone during prolonged vigorous exercise. Spotify integration makes

While we are innovating in this space, perhaps it's time to address IATA's PNR (passenger Name record) Standard that is used by Sabre and Amadeus. Plenty of privacy issues in that old system. https://en.m.wikipedia.org&

In Germany you likely visited a tourist area and in Brazil you likely were in your local area where you live or work. That has nothing to do with the country. In my hometown in Germany nobody would steal anything, but in São Paolo I saw lot

The feature is part of the Twitter ads platform, just like Facebook's custom audiences. A third party partner on behalf of an advertiser or the advertiser themselves can upload the list of identifiers (here phone numbers) to match agai

I get your perspective and skepticism, I really do. I have no incentive to defend Twitter. I cannot say whether this was done deliberately or not, but it absolutely could have been a mistake by a single engineer at Twitter. The JIRA will ju

Yes that is wrong-doing but I have not seen any evidence during my time there that such a move would have been intentional. I'm very inclined to believe it was an unfortunate mistake. A mistake that probably should not have been possib

That doesn't make any sense. I have not seen any evidence of wrong doing or improper use of data [edit for clarification: I'm talking about my literal observation in 2015]. Happy to speak on the record.

I don't recall how user data was stored or accessed, but I'm certain there will have been separate fields, or at least a flag indicating whether the person opted out from being targeted by their phone number. That being said, it w

I don't think your description is accurate. There must be other nuances. Once upon a time (2011-2013) I was an Apple Certified Macintosh technician. We were technically considered a third party Apple-certified repair shop. I was even a

As a German I did actually get an impression of urgency / severity the way this was written. Not everyone understands how Germans communicate as I am reminded of every day for the past 14 years in the US.
