I just said why it's orthogonal. I don't see a counterargument here.

They've said they won't do that, they could do that already, the benefit outweighs the cost...

If they wanted to do mass device fingerprinting (minimally, de-identified by default, not shared, etc.) they could do that already without a smart city so that's completely orthogonal.

Oh ok (see above comment).

How would they track you on a bus?

Sidewalk would collect more personal, identifiable data on pass-through commuters than governments and companies already do? Maybe, and if so it's a valid point. But I'd bet (money) not. No facial recognition would be used. Doubt

Privacy is very important to some people, but I don't think it's a good argument against the project. Their collection and use of data would have been under great scrutiny. And if you don't like it, just don't move there

I thought this was the proof of concept? No one lives there now, no one would be forced to move there.

As someone who lives in Toronto, I'm disappointed we couldn't even have this as an experiment with smart city technologies. "It's time to build" and all that.

Well, NIMBYism + privacy paranoia. Torontonians who were never going to live there, hadn't attended the open houses, and weren't willing to even try it as a small-scale experiment apparently had veto power over what Sidewalk could

I'd say the opposite

Seems like there's a great case to make it illegal, I wonder why it's not.

Do companies have a fixed DNA that acquisitions can't change or can companies use acquisitions to evolve into something different?

Indeed. The attitude of supplication in the article diminishes with experience. Eventually we lose patience with time-wasting hoops through which to jump.

Re cover letter sales pitch: Of all types of diversity among engineering team members, racial diversity is very uninteresting to me. And I cannot legally let race influence my hiring anyway.

Ideally Britain would have kept HK island and/or transferred HK to Taiwan rather than China. But I guess that wasn't workable. So the only option for HKers is emigration.

I bet (money) they won't.

No one enjoys whiteboard interviews but it's not clear that these companies have better alternatives. Many of them do take home projects which are time consuming. I'd prefer the employer look at my GitHub profile as there's p

Their cars partly block your driveway? Do they make a lot of noise? What are the other impacts on you?

It was in the book "Dawn of the Code War".

Indeed -- and who knows what China will retaliate for next.

Oops, thank you.

China's state-sponsored IP theft has been called the largest transfer of wealth in history. I'm honestly curious what the best diplomatic strategy is to combat it, other than declaring war.

Good point, committing a crime there is an especially bad idea.

Alternatively there's been a cold war with communist China from the beginning.

Not just arrested but tortured, as we've seen with the two Canadian Michaels and the British Simon Cheng. Edit: British-employed not actually British
