Because...uh...NATO.

Well, glad you asked.

The part that goes wrong is that you don't have to view a Privacy Policy behind a tiny poorly colored hyperlink before clicking "I Agree".

Decreasing attack vectors means supporting less solutions and organizations that do this shit, not more of them.

Not fully, but they're still very much involved. Money talks, and they're invested.

I was always under the impression that the reason you couldn't undo was purely to encourage putting thought into your votes, instead of clicking after the first sentence, getting through the rest of the post, and looking to take your upvote back.

Guess I was wrong. I'd say 30 seconds should be enough, with this thought in mind =]

I'm surprised that nobody has mentioned anything about Niantic being an "independent" spinoff from Google/Alphabet.

Interesting to think about what personal information they're gaining from this, as well as mapping information.

Because the FSB will always have a backup.

Rehashed NSA joke, likely very correct.

That's quite a presumption you have there.

They do also have a vested interest in bringing internet to developed regions in a way - where else are you supposed to get the low-cost H1B labour?

And you think this will make people safer?

What does that even mean?

Replace anonymous crypto-currencies with cash, and realize how ridiculous you sound.

Yeah, tell that to the guy who wrote "ISIS beer fund" on his PayPal transfer to his mate that we have an "independent judicial system".

No - we have an outsourced judicial system, where Facebook and Google will spy on you more than the USGov, the bank will control your money more than the Government, and the insurance company will have you in an autonomous car faster than a mandate will. That's modern neoliberalism.

Yes, clever as a fox for running a wildly insecure server that foreign nations could spy on her from, in order to dodge FOIA.

Because being able to call someone a terrorist (or a hacker, in 5-10 years time) as a reason to turn off their credit card when it's the only method of payment left will be a dystopian nightmare.

Some people DO want that. Or, at least, the consent is manufactured.

You know - for your safety.

I hope you never have to experience a loss because of carelessness.

Enough to say "Yeah, but everyone else did it, and it wasn't that many, so..."

...and here we are.

Glad you asked!

From one of her biggest supporters, no less!

These were the best I could find in the short time I had.

What do you think of this?

As someone very excited about this space, I unfortunately have to agree that Tesla is playing fast and loose with autonomous safety (and more importantly, public opinion!) to be first to market. You can't be half in and half out, which is what these "assist" features are.

They're adding new features to inadequate/improperly configured hardware for what they're asking the car to do, and waiving away all liability for stupid peoples' actions with disclaimers (always be ready to take over).

Whether that's right or wrong is really subjective, especially when you take natural selection into account.

Tesla's (only!) radar sensor is located at the bottom of the bumper, if I'm not mistaken. Compare this with Google's, which is located in the arguably correct position, the roof. Also compare other manufacturers' solutions that are utilizing 2-3 radar sensors, as well as sonar.

Exactly.

Oh, you can keep using your old device, you just can't have the latest version of iOS.

Oh, you want apps on your old device? Just install the "___" version of iOS!

Thanks for nothing!

I'd love to hear more about his misunderstanding, please continue.

Perhaps it's because it reeks of limited hangout (trusted insider reveals a bunch of info, and then everyone uses his brief software mentions to convince everyone what tools to use), even if he isn't actually one?

Vice has me very cautious these days in general, as well: https://tobacco.ucsf.edu/disney-fox-hearst-time-warner-tied-...

Good luck trying to hit "Reply-All" when the email is sent correctly (all recipients are BCC for their own privacy).

Actually, that's a great example, glad you brought it up. That's not less secure, and very similar to this situation.

That technology is being hailed as "more secure" because it requires you to insert, and type your secret PIN, correct?

1. In many cases, you can still use it online, just as before, without insertion+PIN.

2. Most stores will still allow you to swipe it, just as before. Some retailers aren't even allowing insertion yet, even though the hardware is there.

3. Even IF everyone required you to insert and type your PIN, you are actually less secure because the little bit you "consented to" when "upgrading" to chip + pin says that card issuers are less liable for fraudulent charges and other problems. http://www.creditcards.com/credit-card-news/understanding-EM...

And it's still not a perfect analogy, because chip+pin isn't going to force me to subscribe to a monthly or yearly fee to use my bank card in the future, like Windows 10 assuredly will. It also doesn't implement additional technology for my bank to spy on me and my activity.

So - who's really safer?

The problem is that product changes are being rolled in with/disguised as security updates. That should be wrong, and while I'm normally on the side of less mandates - this misleading behavior should be addressed by lawmakers.

If that's the only indication you're using for this, I think you'll be very disappointed.

So does using an OS that respects the user's right to choose, and doesn't rely on trickery to change users to a more commercially friendly platform.
