Our news org did an investigation into this as well, and also demonstrated how a simple HackRF could be used to fool most modern GPS receivers: https://nrkbeta.no/2017/09/18/gps-freaking-out-maybe-youre-t...

Not at this point, no. We went into detail on Telia and Telenors analytical platforms last year, though. Should still be up to date: https://nrkbeta.no/2019/10/11/telia-og-telenor-selger-analys...

Feel free to contact me if this is something you want to talk about!

> is it possible to deanonymize more people

There are more stories coming in the next days and weeks which will touch more on this topic.

> The article assumes that the location data must have been collected because he gave an app permission to access his location. I bet they couldn’t figure out which app it was because it wasn’t an app.

I worked on this story (and the others, we're still publishing [1] [2]).

The dataset we bought from Tamoco didn't contain an app name for most of the data. So instead of guessing, we're open about the fact that we don't quite know. Which is sort of the issue here – there's not a lot of transparency around what is collected and by whom.

The Norwegian Data Protection Agency (DPA) has opened an investigation into Tamoco [2] after our first story, and they want to cooperate with the UK DPA.

Would love to speak to you about this. Can you send me an email? henrik.lied [at] nrk.no

Wow, this is interesting. I’ve sent you an email.

Understood. Google Translate does a formidable job of rendering the story in English, so I’ve resubmitted the translation.

Also check out Lygte Info[1], the site of a Dane who checks chargers and batteries usually bought from the Chinese sites like Banggood and AliExpress. Spoiler: Not all of them are bad.

I wouldn't doubt that Walmart, between their acquisition of jet.com and intense focus on competing with Amazon in the e-commerce arena is taking drone delivery services very seriously right now. They are already trying nearly everything else.

I just tested it on a Samsung Galaxy S3, in several forms (as src in link, script, img, video and object elements, as well as the href in an a element). Nothing happened here.

Smooth Streaming is certainly a great piece of technology, and thanks to the guys at Code Shop, it now works on several devices and using nginx, Apache and lighttpd: http://smoothstreaming.code-shop.com/trac

Great stuff!

In curious: What do you think about exposing this service via WebSockets? Would that make it even faster?

I don't think that's relevant. Most Android users have no idea it's a 20% project. It's an app that's available on their phones.

Is there a simple way to do live streaming with WebM yet?

I used the `viewas` parameter a couple of days ago after changing some privacy settings, and this didn't happen.

> For example, everyone says you can 'use SQLAlchemy' in Django. On paper this is true. But then you lose the admin, the user auth system, the messages system, model forms, and all of the other batteries that make Django useful.

Using SQLAlchemy doesn't change any of that. For pre-built components, like auth and admin, just go with the flow. You're free to use SQLAlchemy side-by-side with Django's ORM.

http://carbonmade.com is another webapp with a great and exciting UI.

I discussed this with a colleague of mine earlier today. I completely understand why they moved away from Drupal, but I'm not sure that "why Django matters to us" is the right way of putting it (although Django definitely works wonders for sites like The Onion).

"Why [a mature web framework] is the best fit for The Onion" is a more appropriate way of saying it. I've wrestled with enough blog platforms like Wordpress, where the client wanted it to work like a generic CMS, to know that the "You can put lipstick on a pig […]" phrase is very much applicable to web development.

Use the right tool for the job, damnit. And The Onion did.

I do not have the vocabulary to explain how much I agree with you. Haven't we gotten to the point where people understand what "use the tool that fits your need" means?

I'd also add Jared Christensen to that list. He made the icon for http://sifterapp.com, amongst others.

As a Norwegian, I have no problems understanding both Swedish and Danish. That's mostly correct the other way around as well.

This project isn't a product of Google, it's simply hosted at Google Code.

Looks very interesting! Is there a similar module available for doing something like this locally?

Hmm, the link suddenly started sending me to Facebook. Anyone else?

Didn't happen when I went directly to http://dearstevejobs.com

I wouldn't call this exaggerated. Biking to work in anything below 0°C isn't what I'd call safe or comfortable. The winter tires available for bikes are ok, but cycling outside in a huge winter suit is everything but.

This wouldn't work in Norway. Only 35% of the population live in the larger cities, I know lots of people who have a 60km (~35 miles) commute. Hell, I even know people who get on a plane daily to go to work.

Denmark is also damn flat, at least compared to Norway, which is more "mountainy", like Switzerland.

Wow, are you serious? What ended up as the solution?

Sorry, is this an (horrible) attempt at getting into my Google account?
