meetuu··on Created a fake account and Facebook still figured out who I am. How?
yes it does, there is also acoustic analysis of keyboard noise, quite a lot and this all happens at the time of account creation and early account use until the FB AI thinks it knows who you are, there is no need for constant listening or watching,

BTW stop creating voting cadres, it is trivial to trace them back to the central login and ban that too

javascript has a lot of power, and it acesses more than the browser, and none of this is remotely too complicated, it happens on a daily basis. your browser does a lot more than you think. FB most definately does not stay in your browser when it gets its hooks on you. BTW modal dialog buttons do more than the label says, the old meme "what button do i push to hack someone" can be written to "what button do i click to let facebook hack me"

It soon becomes apparent that not a lot of people know as much about thier hardware, and or software as they think they do. Dont forget zuckerburgs roots, hes a black hat 101%

FWIW all you dvoters need to bone up on your skills if you think this, and more is too complex.

cameradust, browser fingerprinting, graphic/sound card canvas, memory canvas mouse usage, keyboard usage, cpu serial number, MAC, router MAC, system logs, telemetry

This also means FB gets to taste what they cook up on a regular basis.

This is why what you do or say should be civil and heed to the fact that there are always 2 parties to any interaction, and both must be agreeable to each other or there can be no agreement.

snopes has a bunch of breadcrumbs if you scroll down and continue to read them all, an interesting scenario emerges.

I would also add, the Flu shot is not a sure thing it is a best guess as to the serotypes that will probably be in circulation based on WHO monitoring of global serotype observation. BTW im not an antivaxxer, I have very extensive knowledge regarding the particulars of influenza, and vaccine production.

meetuu··on Facebook employees 'angry' after Apple blocks its internal iOS apps
so facebook has been forced to eat what they dish out, on a regular basis, and they protest it. very interesting times ahead of us methinks.
meetuu··on Ask HN: Why can’t I block all incoming calls that aren’t in my contact list?
hi again james, the problem with phone abuse became apparent, so long ago that i cant even remember. my wife bought a smartphone for me to use and it took less than a week for me to begin raging. the greatest peeves involved a "certain browser corporation" baking in thier browser, and requireing a sign in to a "G / G+ account" the lack of controll over basic functions, and camera use. It seemed that every time i wanted to snap a pic of a moment never to be seen again, the process was interrupted with suggestions, or a suddenly critical update [turning off OTA updates would be wonderful]. The life style adjustment that was presented to me was 1 device many uses , like camera, GPS, note taking, sharing of information. But it was a false promise as these things came at the price of not being able to actually use thes features in an effective manner. I was unwilling to adjust my life style to accomodate this "mess" so i have a task bag with SLR camera, GPS, FRS/HAM radio, PDA, laptop, and pocket router hotspot. This is my lifestyle, and im called a fossil, a dinosaur, older than dirt etc. if i had a device that was all of these things [basically a smartphone] but allowed me to ^totally^ controll it up to and including selection and design of an operating system and firmware of my own choice i would not balk at paying $900 on hardware that sits in the palm of my hand. Please all you hardware devs out there i hope you are listening as well. Thanx again James it sounds like you have a good price point as well, but im just interested in giving constructive feedback, i hope your company is able to be a suffiently successful competitor, and reset the bar for all others.

hi James, This filter is a filter i would love to have for my phone, there is a wish list that could accompany the desire to filter calls, a ^large^ list perhaps, but i think it would be summed up as another user has stated, I want my phone to serve me, not the other way around. I also believe the smart phone thing has been abused for far too long, to the point I will not operate a smart phone for reasons of security, privacy and the interruption of tasks with alerts popups updates, and feature bloating. baked in apps that depart radicly from the stated function of the app, unnessecary permisions and connectivity. These reasons and more are why i refuse to use anything other than a dinosaur flipphone, and e-mail. thanks for the ear James.
