I assume pi-hole is a Rasp. Pi distro? I looked into setting SQUID up on a Pi, but that seemed to be a chore.
Question: Can you set it up to intersect HTTPS requests (assuming you stick a self-signed cert on the Pi Hole?) And if so, how do you get it to check the certificate authority of who it is man-in-the-middling?
Huh, I wasn't talking about websites. I was talking about apps. You know, software you download and run on your device. Specifically as differentiated from websites.
Or do mobile devices provide tracking features that are better than what cookies provided?
Far better. Why do you think every website wants you to download their app?
Shoot, until iOS 10.3, you had to turn off allowing apps to access your MAC address (well, it was hashed with a few other values). And I believe Android still allows it.
Why do companies like MoviePass, Google, Facebook make a big deal out of "never selling your data". Of course they're not going to sell it. They're going to rent out the ability to use it, it's far more profitable.
Frankly, I'm not sure who I'd be worried about them selling the data to. They're already the worst offenders of my privacy.
In any crowd, I'm usually outnumbered by people who say "But I want them to know where I am, so I get better ads." You and I aren't the market. We're there because it's not worth identifying us and kicking us out (and because they'd worry about the stink that would get raised).
For some reason, libertarians seem to think all businessmen are sitting there, getting angry about taxes and letting spite guide them. As opposed to businessmen sitting there going, "And if I do this, I get 2 new pools at my Aspen guest house".
First, thanks for seeking me out to continue the conversation!
I got thrown for a loop wondering "how do you know that the Native Canadians have a higher suicide rate, and that causes the low density suicide rate to climb, as opposed to vice versa". But then it occurred to me that your demographic claim probably controlled for density, etc.
Just so I'm clear on how it is an example of Simpsons Paradox, what you are stating is that low density Native Canadians are less likely to commit suicide than those that live in high density areas and low density Imported(?) Canadians are less likely to commit suicide, but the mix of those two demographics reverses the trend and makes any random low density living person more likely to commit suicide?
That sounds believable. I can also see how different politically motivated groups would use the "controlled for demographics" math or not to push their own narrative.
It will be interesting if some of these services try just dropping their presence in the countries in question.... Sure it might hurt their bottom line a tad. But it would cause severe pain to the countries' own businesses.
Yeah, it's been really horrible for Tencent, Baidu and QQ that Google, et al have been kept out. China's really suffered, and there haven't been any way to communicate, and they're not keeping all that money and control in their country.
What if a new vulnerability like Shellshock or Heartbleed affects the software? Do you just say, "Oh whelp, nobody updated the software in six years so I guess it's time to move on?"
Probably. Or just upgrade the dependency if that's possible and push that change to all the other users.
It's fine to use "is actively being updated" as a factor, but it's hardly a deal-killer. Especially for something as low-security as a todo list.
Why just Amazon? Breaking up Google would also be a positive.
I feel bad when giant corps squeeze out innovative upstarts. I'm not upset when two giant corporations start duking it out. It usually is a better result for the consumer than when they're planning nice.
Not for nothing, but the border states where you imagine this happening (e.g Texas) are red. The fact that they haven't found anyone who cast an illegal vote probably means there weren't any.
Oh, I'm sorry, they found one person. But that doesn't fit your narrative at all (after all, they voted Republican twice).
They basically asked if he wanted a bigger budget and he said yes his department wants a bigger budget to do more. Who says no to that?
Well, the DoD. They asked that their budget not be increased so much, so they could buy fewer planes and tanks that they don't need. They also asked that the state dept. get some of that money to ensure they continue to not need them.
They should've FOSSed... Flash was the only proprietary tech I used and it will remain the only one.
Point of fact, Adobe offered w3c control of Flash as a successor/extension to Javascript. To that end, they opensourced AS3 a long, long time ago. Possibly even pre-iPhone 1. There are GPL implementations of the Flash engine and everything.
Flash died because Steve Jobs wanted a walled garden on the cell phone. If HTML5 had been as far along then, he would have killed that too.
But I too morn Flash. And, possibly most obnoxiously, because of banner ads. When Flash was based on a specific type of object (plugin or not), I could whitelist it easily. Flash died, and as a result the obnoxious things moved out of the sandbox and into the browser proper.
Nope. Financial transaction information needs to get reported to the IRS. But that's the policy reason. The legal reasoning goes something like: Coinbase doesn't have a 4th amendment right not to turn the information over, and you turned it over to coinbase voluntarily.
Half a gigabit speeds over wireless and people are running around like crazy worried about their wired carriers ?
So it'll be Verizon, AT&T and XFINITY Wireless pulling net neutrality shenanigans instead of... Verizion FiOS and AT&T DSL/Fiber and Comcast XFinity wired services?
At most, you're looking at adding Sprint or TMobile as one extra option.
I imagine any sufficiently motivated entity can completely disassemble the silicon while recording the state, and rebuild it as needed to brute force it. I assume there's some secrecy if you're trying to race to a solution, but I assume there's something you can say on what's going to stop them from salami slicing, observing and salami slicing again?

Ah, got it.

Huh, I wasn't talking about websites. I was talking about apps. You know, software you download and run on your device. Specifically as differentiated from websites.
Your use of the future tense is cute.
With JavaScript off, they're limited to my agent-string and resolution (and IP address, and other headers).
Far better. Why do you think every website wants you to download their app?

Well, if you have specific content, you have to worry about when Spotify no longer offers it. See: Netflix and movies/shows.
Right, so you don't care. That's fine. Some people like listening to the same music over and over.
In any crowd, I'm usually outnumbered by people who say "But I want them to know where I am, so I get better ads." You and I aren't the market. We're there because it's not worth identifying us and kicking us out (and because they'd worry about the stink that would get raised).
In his example, the phone can store whatever it wants. It's a special purpose hardware that's only used to go to and from the movies.

Cool. Assertion war.
Put up a source..
Wikiepedia disagrees. But please cite a source if I'm wrong.
That changed when unlimited (or large) data plans gave people another options, not with competition among the carriers.
Nope. Financial transaction information needs to get reported to the IRS. But that's the policy reason. The legal reasoning goes something like: Coinbase doesn't have a 4th amendment right not to turn the information over, and you turned it over to coinbase voluntarily.
In fairness, all the Candians I've met are too polite to mention burning it down the first time.
So it'll be Verizon, AT&T and XFINITY Wireless pulling net neutrality shenanigans instead of... Verizion FiOS and AT&T DSL/Fiber and Comcast XFinity wired services?
