What you're describing isn't "search", designed to give me information I asked for. It's a recommendation engine, designed to induce a behavior in me, whose input is the "search term" I entered (plus god knows what…
I need to choose outlets and switches for a new building, and I hope to "smart home" it. I had started to do some reading, and while my experience wasn't _quite_ as gruesome as the author of this article portrays it to…
Thank you. I laughed out loud. Also, this is true.
I disagree with the implication that there is anything at all unethical (so that anything else could be "more ethical") about blocking ads.
Definitely not advanced in the sense of, "at the highest level in this topic." Publishers do ask for titles like this, though. I guess it's advanced in the sense of "not beginner". A typical beginner book might start…

What if every restaurant within 50 miles of your home required a jacket to eat (or take out) from there... and also required that you had purchased that jacket from the very same restaurant, at a 30% markup?
The problem isn't the capability of remote attestation. The problem is who's using it, i.e. who's defining what "security" means. As noted above, for a company, "security" often means intentionally inhibiting my…
