There is also the issue in contract law of capacity, as in the ability to understand and consent. Minors, for example, generally are not considered to have the capacity to enter into contracts. In the case of the EULA, even if one did read the thirty pages of legalese it is questionable whether you have the capacity to enter into a contract on the basis of understanding it. I believe there is plenty of precedent for the courts declining to enforce contracts on this basis. I'm not a lawyer though, so check with one before to sue some web site over the EULA.
I think this is a pipe dream for two reasons. First, "information wants to be free". Even if site X doesn't need to collect it, site Y might. One way or another, "they" will get site Y's data. Once it is copied, the cat is out of the bag. Secondly, collection is only part of the problem. A lot of data are extrapolated. A given site may not need to have travel data, but travel will still be observed if you post a picture of a famous monument at the destination, or ask frieds about good hotels there, etc.
Looking at the history of the report and Panera's response, it just reinforces my belief that "responsible disclosure" just serves to protect the company/vendor from liability and provides no incentive to change behavior. Immediate full disclosure would introduce some incentives to actually change behavior. Although a reasonable compromise might be cutting the time to disclosure down enough, this guy gave them eight months. Two weeks would be better.
The screw up wasn't this design decision. It was omitting basic double checks one should always have when making production changes, *especially* in a large environment like level 3. Where was the review by a second operator? Where was the warning "this change will block over $threshold numbers"? it is ridiculous that one person at one point could make a large scale change like this.
I think the FFA would read if you are going to stab 100 people in the eye with your fork, you must stab them in proportion to each group's representation in the general population. Good luck finding 0.2 Pacific Islanders
Ok thanks, I'll dig around later if I remember. Maybe subsidies in Europe, or trade barriers in the US, or both. Or maybe in Europe you get better terms if you can't buy outright.
If all these clowns say I should think twice before buying one, I want to get one more than ever. Probably HuaWei did something in the firmware to make it harder to put US intelligence implants on it.
It's like blowing up a balloon. At first, any given point on the surface expands quickly, but as the balloon grows the rate of expansion at any given point slows. There's a lot more surface area for the new air to cover, so the effect at any given point is less. Same with science, technology, cooking, and every other field of human endeavor. All the large scope discoveries were made long ago, now all the effort goes into small refinements.
I haven't seen any evidence that these sanctions or lack thereof have any impact on the lifetime of any given regime. There are plenty of heavily sanctioned regimes which continue for quite a while, and plenty of unsanctioned regimes which were overthrown.
Fair enough, I simplified a bit. But my basic point is, CA did same thing with those data that any other Facebook customer does. Perhaps some people are waking up to what it means to tell Facebook all about yourself.
the data of 50 million users had been unknowingly leaked and purchased to aid President Trump
Facebook's business is *knowingly* providing access to those data. The only reason Cambridge Analytica was dinged was because Facebook didn't get their cut.
Exactly. We have to drive with certain assumptions about how people will behave or no one would get anywhere. There are plenty of times making turns where you have to assume the other driver will slow down rather than plow right into you. Otherwise there would be traffic jams everywhere while everyone waits for the opportunity to turn without relying on the other driver reacting.
Actually a bit of a problem for self driving cars, since this speed limit was changed somewhat recently (according to the article). I am assuming the car can't read the signs, so how does it find out about speed limit changes? Some sort of national database? Small towns are unlikely to register, instead they will happily collect fines from 'speeding' autocars. Imagine automated speeding ticket cameras versus automated cars. Bots fining bots, sounds inflationary.

Then people would stop using the Internet and everybody wins.

Just move, then the bar on the license has the old address. It's just that easy.

Will the cleaners also bring my orders for same day delivery?
I assumed they were going to make the cleaners wear full body monitoring suits so Amazon could apply Deep Machine AI Learning© to analyze their efficiency and eventually program drones to replace them.
What happened to the "kill switch"? Was it removed or something? I thought WannaCry was a non-issue now because of that.
Or just firewall off your laptop from everything and only allow RDP connection to a VPC somewhere for Internet

perhaps even worse, there's no mention of any advertiser actually doing that, just that the platform allows it
This would break a lot of CDNs which use random-like hostnames.

artificially inflated prices of residential solar
That is interesting claim, I have not heard that. Would you mind clarifying a bit? How are the prices artificially inflated?
Maybe it would save more lives in the long run if they didn't. After an initial peak of accidents the survivors would know enough to be cautious.

The Russians secretly helped Venezuela by sitting in the front row at the launch ceremony. Good catch TIME
I looked around a bit and I was wrong in my assumption, they do actually read the signs.
