And in time it will be discovered that an FB employee 'accidentally' committed code to enable this data flow.

FB will 'apologise' and promise a 'full investigation'.

This is a well-worn track pioneered by Google, a track that leads to a trove of data and no fines, no penalties.

> I suspect the true total cost was a fair bit higher due to a hosting arrangement.

Untrue.

When the goal is to buy Blogger - a goal that is being progressed towards by Automattic - money saved on the Tumblr acquisition is useful.

Ah. I stand corrected. Thank you.

> This was not like Theranos where he was straight up lying about a product working

She.

The Guardian has gone downhill in the last few years, just like the rest of UK mainstream news reporting. They have rolled over to do whatever the Government wants not reporting - take Assange for example.

Their coverage is practically non-existent.

I used to buy The Guardian every day, then I subscribed digitally. And then when their reporting slid downhill, I stopped subscribing. I still read it - but block their data scraping scripts and all ads. They are not worth supporting IMO.

Apologies for any ads that got in.

Do they have their mobile devices with them? Electronic trail.

Did they appear in any photos? There's a trail.

Did they buy anything in that locality?

Did they call someone in that locality?

Just not using a card would seem to offer little protection unless they take care of at least the above.

Related to bias - I recently installed the plugin from https://mycognitivebias.com/ which explains a cognitive bias each time I open a new tab.

I cannot proclaim that this has altered my work or personal life yet, but it has opened my eyes to the number of them and the wide circumstances in which they occur.

Take a look at https://blokada.org/

It blocks ads in news and other apps for me.

Spyware for all the family!

This would be more useful to me if when I hovered the link it told me more about what they actually make and the language they post in.

It's too random otherwise.

There is - https://ghostbrowser.com/

Not open source though if that matters to you.

"Also: Let me be the first to say that I can’t believe there’s still no Postgres support, which is absolutely outrageous."

Postgres is open source.

Why do they owe you?

If it matters, write the code.

"didn't pay for privacy"

If you don't pay your info is public.

What did you expect?

Q: Did Google create - and promote from their dominant position - AMP for anyone but their own interests?

A: No. Why would you be so naive to think otherwise?

It's a PIN

It's not a PIN number

You can't have a Personal Identification Number Number

I get that it's what people say, but that doesn't make it right.

I looked at your provided link.

I have no clue what you do.

Surely that information should be clear and umissable?

Please use a responsive theme.

It matters.

Here you go :)

Off-topic: A responsive website for Doc Searls would be welcome.

Brian Krebs - can you please change to a responsive theme?

Thanks.

When you tell me all about you... I will explain.

You can on Android.

uBlock Origin and uMatrix serve me well.

I see no reason to change anything.

Take a look at Blockada.

It's Christmas Day in various parts.

I have an install of zerobin which I use for keys, items that I would prefer not to email but it does not support files, just text. Essentially it's a pastebin.

"TL;DR: ZeroBin is a minimalist, opensource online pastebin/discussion board where the server has zero knowledge of hosted data. Data is encrypted/decrypted in the browser using 256 bits AES."

As described here - https://www.reddit.com/r/shadowbanned - message the admins.

But from https://www.reddit.com/wiki/reddiquette:

"Feel free to post links to your own content (within reason). But if that's all you ever post, or it always seems to get voted down, take a good hard look in the mirror — you just might be a spammer. A widely used rule of thumb is the 9:1 ratio, i.e. only 1 out of every 10 of your submissions should be your own content."

and do feel free to remind them that

Shadowbans are meant for spammers, not real users according to reddit's CEO /u/spez - https://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/3cxedn/i_am_steve_huf...

Good luck.
