I think we can agree that line of sight to a specific small area is a rather important requirement. Why be nonchalant about privacy?

That is absolutely untrue, the chips are cheap, cheaper than knobs probably. It's just putting greed over welfare.

You can support gun rights without the NRA. In fact, I sorta thought i was clearly implying the "people's veto" of gun rights. Reagan put the first gun restriction laws of California in place because of the Black Panthers. I

Just like tattoos they can fade. Assume permanent data when you want something deleted and temporary data when you want it saved. If you want it deleted it's probably because someone thinks it is worth saving. If you want it saved, wel

No. Guns literally are part of the founding od America. We got the second Amendment precisely because England tried to do things like take guns and quarter soldiers. Guns are and always have been part of American culture. I would also resea

Are you certain that you are the only one paired to the devices? Try unpairing all the devices and then pair quickly. Also, make sure you don't have some sort of spammy ad in a background tab or something. If not maybe there is someth

Rules only work if they exist and they are followed. There is no evidence such a law would be created, we can not even get net neutrality. There is not a lot of evidence this law would be followed, corruption happens all the time, especiall

It is exaggerated, when you're moving it's much easier to steer. The hydrolics will also stay pressurized for a bit, long enough for you to get to the side of the road. The scenario where you need to cut the power probably means t

The U.S has a lot of things in its constitution, it's like the original constitutional democracy (the UK is uncodified btw). Your trust in government is far far too high.

The ad space is data. If you chose the right categories you can reasonably identify someone. The whole purpose of behavioral advertising is to identify groups, you can make those groups =1 if your clever. Look up deanonymization. It's

Anonymization is a myth. If you sell ads on proxy data, that data can be deanonymized. Also, Facebook may not directly sell your social security but they sure will buy it from the less scrupulous (but more honest) companies.

There was a lot examples but the main complaint seemed to be a rephrased "We don't want users to be able to do that". Perhaps I missed a valid use case but, this seems a lot like wanting to disable rightclick (and giving a du

"If they honestly tried to combat child abuse, how do you see them going about it?" Detective work, stake outs, researching who makes this stuff, convicting the actual producers, convicting people who do direct abuse... In general

Idk about Europe, but the US has a lot of so called "food deserts" where fresh food is miles away (like 20miles /32 km or more). These areas aren't just rural but often in poorer areas of Major cities and population cent

Photo manipulation is very old, and honestly human experts can still do it better. Harmful is incredibly vague.

I get that this is the UK, but 600 miles being something people don't drive is sorta hilarious to me as an American.

Company surveillance is government surveillance. The companies may be collecting information for profit but once the data exists, it can be collected by the Government. In the US, the government can take data and make it so you legally can&

Do you not feel privacy is worthwhile? Do you believe that these companies aren't collecting data for advertising reasons?

by whelp_24 3y ago
