really screwed the pooch, huh?

So...the CEO of Cymru is also on the board of TOR?

That sounds...problematic?

>Beyond his day job as CEO of Team Cymru, Rabbi Rob Thomas also sits on the board of the Tor Project, a privacy focused non-profit that maintains the Tor software. That software is what underpins the Tor anonymity network, a collection of thousands of volunteer-run servers that allow anyone to anonymously browse the internet.

>“Just like Tor users, the developers, researchers, and founders who've made Tor possible are a diverse group of people. But all of the people who have been involved in Tor are united by a common belief: internet users should have private access to an uncensored web,” the Tor Project’s website reads.

>When asked by Motherboard in April about Thomas’ position on the Tor Project board while also being the CEO of a company that sells a capability for attributing activity on the internet, Isabela Bagueros, executive director for the Tor Project, said in an email that “Rabbi Rob's potential conflicts of interest have been vetted according to the standard conflicts disclosure process required of all board members. Based on the board's understanding of Rabbi Rob's work with Team Cymru, the board has not identified any conflicts of interest.”

Apple is really setting the tone.

>In 2019, algorithms from both companies were included in a federal study of over 100 facial recognition systems that found they were biased, falsely identifying African-American and Asian faces 10 times to 100 times more than Caucasian faces.

This is damning.

This story really needs a deeper investigation to how the algo works and what it uses to establish conclusions

I really wish a longform document/essay/dissertation was done on how impactful the loss of Google Reader but the thriving of Twitter and Facebook ruined the internet and allowed clickbait and shortform incendiary content to thrive.

Google reader killed it.

Not to mention, Reddit won't let you post blogs to their largest subreddits.

Turns out we were all right about James Damore. He was being endlessly catered to and didn't even know it.

Google has a pattern of pull out of high profile announcements. Its striking.

This is blatantly unethical.

Expanding your database? Great

Forgetting situational ethics? Disgusting

I still don't see the problem here. None of these sites actually make or sell anything besides maybe an ad-platform.

Any cachet they have is based on social viability or popularity... i.e. waning psychological value, not intrinsic hard tangibility

In terms of testing out new gear is:

Oh, this is what the luddites warned about
