Needs to be regulated Asap. Corruption is cancer.
aomobile··on Credit-card firms are becoming reluctant regulators of the web
Can’t read the whole article however, from what is mentioned in the visible part, I find it a bit strange that free speech and monetary transactions, aka earning money with said free speech, is something that should be protected by law somehow.
aomobile··on Are iPhones Better for Privacy? Comparative Study of iOS and Android Apps
Feels safer though to pay than to get something for free.
aomobile··on The Fastest Path to the CEO Job, According to a 10-Year Study (2018)
The “i regret becoming a manager” theme gets repeated often and I don’t know about you guys but I go to work for the money, plain and simple. Sure coding is pleasurable (I’d do it for free as a hobby anyway) but if being ceo pays many times more, I’d just go for that if possible. Seems almost unreasonable not to desire that job over a coding position..
aomobile··on Food fraud and counterfeit cotton: detectives untangling the global supply chain
Interesting thought.. and the data is surely available, someone must just find it and use it to connect the dots
aomobile··on 200k-year-old hand art found near a Tibetan hot spring

aomobile··on An overview of the theory of overparameterized machine learning
Thanks for the summary!
aomobile··on Berlin buys thousands of apartments from corporate landlords
Didn’t they sell government housing before? Anyway this is probably a bad idea as governments are bad landlords and taxpayers will get the bill eventually
aomobile··on Incident: Airbus A330 at Taipei, primary computers failed on touchdown (2020)
I wonder how the pilots would have reacted if the computers had crashed 10-20 seconds earlier. Would they have landed or would they go up again to wait for reboot?
aomobile··on Who's downloading pirated papers? Everyone (2016)
After music and tv, we need some sort of affordable unlimited subscription for books and scientific papers
aomobile··on You’ve Never Seen the Opioid Crisis Like This Before: A Review of Empire of Pain
Not a bad problem to solve .. how to identify clickbait
aomobile··on Amazon CEO unveils 55k tech jobs in his first hiring push
Amazing. I bet Tesla would do the same if they had enough cash
aomobile··on The art of not taking things personally
I think the homeless don’t scare people necessarily because they are a what-might-be but rather because of being a what-is. In the us you might get a bad conscience if you see a homeless person but hey at least your salary is good. In Europe we pay so many taxes that it feels a bit different.
aomobile··on Tech-savvy audiences block Google Analytics
I use a generic iPhone without any mods

And yeah probably need to use windows not tabs on desktop. On iPhone each tab wouldn’t see that another is logged in though

(Otherwise yes good to be aware of fingerprinting I agree with you)

I surf in private mode. A super simple solution for all your tracking protection needs people. It boggles my mind how this comes up again and again yet we have private browsing since when? The 90s? Don’t be lazy - that’s the real reason, isn’t it? Having to login again..
aomobile··on Tech-savvy audiences block Google Analytics
Just use the private/anonymous browsing feature - problem solved
aomobile··on Toshiba reports milestone in quantum cryptography
Even if quantum crypto reaches distances of 100‘000km it would still not mean we can use it at home I suppose, because just having one switch/router between Alice and Bob would break the scheme, no?
aomobile··on My dead dad’s journal
My journal is encrypted but I have boxes of old letters, photos of old girlfriends even, and I wonder what to do with it. Contemplating to scan all of it and then get rid of the paper version. Or maybe just put a label for the wife and kids on the boxes: „private, if I die please just get rid of it. Or look at it if you want.“ - I just realized I don’t care that much now and i certainly won’t care when I’m gone.
aomobile··on Show HN: 59a34eabe31910abfb06f308 – NeuralHash Collision Demo
Is Apple proposing anything? I think they are just going ahead with it
aomobile··on Apple already scans iCloud Mail for CSAM, but not iCloud Photos
I mean what if apples search decides that I am suspicious? Will they unlock my keychain and give all my logins to some police or worse random people somewhere to check my stuff? Very disappointing indeed
aomobile··on Apple already scans iCloud Mail for CSAM, but not iCloud Photos
Good to get these reminders that our data is in fact not private and that our computers have other owners than us..
