It's not binary: bosses and investors want to know who will obey the rules as you see them for a variety of reasons. They'll fund / promote based on the needs of the projects you will likely face.
With tillerhq.com, you can set up a pretty nice workflow to review your spending daily, weekly, or whatever cadence makes sense to you across all of your accounts, and it's only $79/year! :)
I like Elon, too, but "no qualifications to run a rocket company" is simply delusional. He majored in physics at Penn and econ at Wharton and went to grad school at Stanford studying material science (for two days, just…
I don't think likes are meaningless — they tap into a very primal need for social status and peer approval. It's a stupid game, but like many other stupid games, it's effective!
As someone who left Facebook awhile ago mostly because life got busy, those ads seem to solidify an (alternative?) narrative of why I left rather than urge me to come back.
Is there no laws w.r.t. negligence that can be used to punish negligent actors? If a door manufacturer is negligent in their construction of the door and someone gets robbed as a result, in violation of how they…
Do you send user data anywhere in a way users may not expect? If not there's probably nothing to comply with. It's really the opposite of bureaucratic law — the entire thing is quite readable and reasonable.
Because he's lazy and thinks he'll get away with it. He'll come into compliance after penalties outweigh the costs of changing the way he does business. This is probably the reaction of the vast majority of folks…
Seems like you can both be right in different circumstances. Humble Bundle got to a nice acquisition married to GCP. Snapchat has successfully unwound. I haven't looked into it in depth but it seems examples on both…
nvm, the article mentions it. cell phones check in with the tower while they are on, which is a way to track where someone has taken their cell phone. afaik, there's very limited privacy protections around this in the…
Yeah, totally with you — don't trust devices you (or your employer) doesn't own. I'm borderline still where I trust my employer's devices with my personal passwords sometimes, but even that seems a bit iffy.
What's a call record? Like a single phone call or an SMS? Pinging the tower doesn't count, does it?
If you can prevent a company from acting unethically and you have the capacity to do so, are you not ethically obligated to try? (switching sides of argument, I know)
fair point. my thoughts were that spending your time building $10 widgets and getting paid $5 by someone who is negligent with their use of people's passwords is akin to working for a company that pollutes public…
Key logger + making a cron job that copies everything off your drive = 5 minutes of work? I hope you trust the folks you use this setup on...
You should quit. I know you have reasons, but continuing to work at a place like this is not ethical.
Definitely doesn't have to be on purpose. Try building a scalable database to billions of users on ad revenue and make it retrieve all data from years ago within the time constraints that users want to see newsfeed…
Did they re-appear after you had remembered deleting them, or were they just not fetched when you looked the first time? I think Cassandra might be to blame where it returned a bunch of wall posts but not all of them…
Is there a way to get them to delete everything? Under GDPR, Europeans certainly can, but then they also lose all of their Facebook friends?

[citation required] but even if true, getting site owners to opt-in to exchanging their user's privacy for psychographic and demographic correlations seems materially different than Facebook's "no opt out" on a…
Does GA share data outside of GA? Last I looked into it, I came away thinking that data is kept to privacy standards equivalent to e.g. Google Sheets.
Has anyone unlocked a phone using a picture of the owner's finger? That would be neat!
Two-user encryption obviously can be made secure. I think we're done here. Your splitting of the hair on "secure but fragile" depends on the assertion that the US government has no interest in maintaining the security…
If it is "fundamentally" insecure, why do Google and Apple and Microsoft and all the other tech companies use it on their employee laptops?
