Doesn’t torte law cover cases of stating things as fact that ended up untrue, which caused harm?

If they hypothetically solved this problem, wouldn’t that be amazing for the security and privacy world?l to have a model they could copy?

The bad trains in Russia are strategic: it’s so that European conquerors can’t use the rails when the Russians get pushed back, but the Russians are used to it so they manage to function just fine

(wwii logistics joke...)

How do you evaluate the security or privacy of providers like this one? I think years ago they or one of their fans went all over Quora and Reddit saying good things about it, but I wasn’t sure in the end how to evaluate their claims or find independent reviews and ended up Switching to ProtonMail.

While I used it, it was good at least. Setting up a custom domain at the time required sending the company an email iirc?

I didn’t know you could do that with fastmail

The HTC privacy policy had some glaring issues in it years ago. Is the new vive different?

It isn’t smoke and mirrors, it might just be idealism or trolling.

What prevents the update, just a software flag, or will the system not run the newer OS properly (32 bit vs 64 etc)?

Amazing how invasive such an expensive product is. I sold mine 2-3 years ago and still feel icky about when I read the privacy policy

If an innocent person had a warrant issued for them, and they were cleared, I bet employers would still routinely query those records if they were able to. It could affect people’s lives if it was too public

Thanks for your work

Well, the holiday promotion emails are spam, so it is sort of working as intended in that regard

I found the transition to be painless, but I did discover Microsoft was spam-labeling some of my emails too. I was using a custom domain though

ProtonMail is better for privacy, and I think fastmail could read your emails if they wanted to - even if they don’t want to after the Australian data access laws. However, the fastmail privacy policy is quite good (I emailed them about it once), they come with calendar, and their system works really well. Fastmail is nice for imap too, ProtonMail requires extra software for it. Fastmail also gives you a free website via their hosted files features

If ProtonMail did a calendar though I would be using ProtonMail right now

Some companies claim to own any skills you develop that would not have earned at a usual job - I don’t really want some former employer claiming I can’t work at my next job because of the time they gave me to do online courses...

I’m a little curious about how that works

I have volume 1 and I found it hard to get into. I think it presupposes a few concepts that my university skipped - eg, the correct way to approach writing a computer science proof (it comes up really early on in the exercises).

I often wonder what else comp sci students learned that us software engineering students did not. All I know for sure is that we did a ton more testing, architecture, hardware, math, and requirements. I think we did more applied programming too, based on trying to work with comp sci students who write custom sorting algorithms instead of thinking to type .sort(). We did not learn a ton of algorithms though

What we really need is an A.I. nonprofit who’s only job is to abuse to privacy of powerful people until they insist on legislation.

You’re right, but I have met a lot of successful immigrants who did have a good experience. I’m sure experiences vary dramatically

Very interesting interview!

Having just come from seeing Black Friday sales: is it actually 2k, or is it “2k” with regular sales making it the actual price (which we will see before Christmas)?

Come to Canada!

I worked as a cashier once and it wasn’t the same as it is for my friends who still do. These days, they all have employment contracts, non-competes, and self checkouts taking their jobs. Back in my day, you could just leave any retail job like that and go across the street

I’m just annoyed at my links being hijacked. When I click a link, my intention is to visit someone’s page, not to view it through some sort of creepy iframe. When I go to share a link, why is it a google link instead of the newspaper? Why do I have to spend a minute or two hunting for the real one in the ugly ui?

> Gizmodo first reported, the warehouse scored a 15.2 on its OSHA Incident Rate, which compares the number of serious injuries to the number of total hours worked among all employees at a given worksite. That figure is five times greater than the national average for all workers, and substantially more than rates found in other dangerous workplaces, such as coal mines and sawmills. The average OSHA Rate for general warehouse workers is 5.2, or roughly a third of the injury frequency at the Staten Island fulfillment center.

I keep forgetting why I cancelled my amazon account but then I’m reminded

I want to suggest that Cliqz has actually spent a lot of time being open and it really looks like at least one person at the company is putting a sincere effort into user privacy.

We should be extremely wary, but at this point I think their write ups at least deserve a read. I suspect it’s more a matter of the tech and/or trust being too difficult than one of bad intentions by anyone.

(I am unaffiliated and generally very pro-privacy, but read about this last year and the news coverage seemed unfair after exploring their site at the time)

A company like amazon could trivially improve this too, but think of how much money it would cost them

OS spying is so much more invasive than application or service spying because you can’t opt out as easily. You can go without Facebook but a lot of people just need windows (for their jobs if nothing else, though I sure wish unity3d ran better on Linux and that more games ran smoothly on Linux)

The OS is also theoretically able to watch what you do in other services by monitoring keystrokes etc, where Facebook merely dreams of such things

“A few hours(...)”

Are you referring to this?

The telemetry in windows is ongoing so I’m just wondering if I missed something new
