I'm surprised people don't even know these things.
Google, Microsoft, Yahoo and Facebook have all agreed in the past to check images in their image search service if certain people are shown in the image. They are indexing and scanning them anyway, might as well check if they match some kind of list.
It was some kind of wanted-criminals list from the FBI I believe.
So why not include more people or missing children or whatever on that list too ? Why not include email as well ? It's all for the greater good, right ?
I'm not sure what you mean, but MultiPath-TCP is about combining different technologies.
So one part of the stream will run over Comcast, sure. But an other part will be transfered of 3G/LTE/whatever...
In that case Comcast isn't going to get the whole stream. Good luck with your IDS and deep packet inspection.
Al though most deep packet inspection problem looks for port-numbers, HTTP Host-headers, HTTPS SNI names and destination IP-addresses anyway. So impact in that case might not be that bad.
An other use case for MultiPath-TCP is roaming without dropping a connection. So for example, going from one WiFi to an other Wifi network without interruption.
If that is a different provider again Comcast won't see the whole stream.
Really: we don't know how well this online dating thing really works. Isn't really all that clear cut as people make it out to be. They are just guessing. And they know it this. So them trying out different approaches isn't as different as what they normally do as you think.
I meant is: if we are going to have these developers, no matter what. Then giving these developers a sandbox where they can't do any harm that would be an improvement, right ?
Crappy developers usually means: uneducated developers.
They can get simple things done without understanding the whole system. That deliver something that sort of works. This makes them cheap labor.
Why do we need cheap labor, because of competition and a race to the bottom driven by consumer buying decisions.
In a talk by Gabe Newell from Valve said that a free game got you 10x more users and 3x more profit (they for example get some money from people selling items inside the game). Not that they use cheap labor, they actually do the exact opposite. But it is just to illustrate how price is important.
So free like the above is a profitable model, free and ad-supported might actually not be as profitable. I don't know how much money companies get for selling personal information. I assume it is more than the ads.
So how do you solve that.
I see a few possible ways: - education - create good open source libraries that prevent most of the bad things and cheap developers want to use.
Now comes the kicker:
Do you think HTML5-apps without any permissions by default on phones would be a better model ?:-) That would be a model similar to Javascript-code running in the browser on the desktop where the user is asked to allow access to the camera when needed.
Actually, I do, but then again I actually do use a FirefoxOS phone to see what it is like.
A lot of the time the hardware is bit underpowered so it can be sold in countries that currently still have a large number of feature phones or people not willing/able to pay for more expensive hardware.
But still pretty impressive what they can get out of that cheaper hardware.
1. Why are you excluding women ? isn't that discrimination ?
2. Some people just don't know this yet, they don't have a hacker mentality (which is what is needed to understand whole systems and how things can be used in ways they were never intended). A hacker mentality is not taught at educational institutions, so they need to still learn it. It usually isn't malice or laziness it is not understanding what you are doing. All they have learned is is how to get the task completed.
Yes, I always delete my download history, so yes maybe that is how Firefox does it.

How to turn off this feature
Do any one of the following:
Turn off browser.safebrowsing.malware.enabled in about:config or in the Preferences > Security > "Block reported attack sites." This disables all Safebrowsing malware protection, including the warning interstitial that appears when the user navigates to a malware site.
Replace browser.safebrowsing.appRepURL in about:config with an empty string. This disables application reputation checks but leaves other Safebrowsing malware protection intact.
I've never seen that behavior, is that Windows specific ?

While I may agree or not with you or the designers, but they've changed so much an 'easy-to-find checkbox under the options to restore the old functionality' seems infeasible.
The reason for that is, is that VMs get allocated resources they never end up using. Because the host kernel/hypervisor doesn't know what the VM (kernel) is going to do/need.
For their own services Google doesn't use VMs, but Google does offer VMs to customers and to control the resources used by VM they run the VM inside a container.

Why do you think file sharing and what you get paid have anything to do with each other ?
You might think it is funny, but this really is sort of the plan of Putin.
It has always been his plan, from the start.
He never made a secret of it and clearly states that this is what he is trying to do.
It might not be communism he wants. What he wants a is strong Russia, a country other countries respect (maybe this can be explained as: fear).
Which includes re-integrating most of the former USSR countries.

I'm sure it's somewhere in the terms-of-service. ;-)
The problem is: usability testing is psychological testing.
With usability testing you are testing what people would do in different situations. That to me sounds like a psychological test.
What OKCupid is doing: is checking if their algorithm works.
How else then changing variables do you check if it works ?
You misunderstood.
I meant is: if we are going to have these developers, no matter what. Then giving these developers a sandbox where they can't do any harm that would be an improvement, right ?
People that aren't very good developers are proud of their work too. They are proud they made something that works.

It's the price that is driving this, when an app is free or just 1 dollar, this gives a lot of reasons to not spend a lot of time on it.
Google, Yahoo, Red Hat, Facebook, Twitter, Apple etc
euh....
Actually, Google, Yahoo, Red Hat, Facebook, Twitter, Apple all have open source projects of their own or collaborate on existing projects.
Heartbleed happened, because it wasn't coordinated.
Now the Linux Foundation has a budget for that, to search for important projects and fund them.
I still prefer the way Visio worked before Microsoft bought them.
Don't forget to mention something about healthcare.

No major browser supports this today.
It isn't they just improved how they check malware databases. I don't think anything else changed.
Yes and no.
No, large (Linux using) companies like Google, Facebook, Twitter have always used some kind of Linux container solution, not virtualization.
Yes, policy is controlled by the cluster manager.
But for example Google uses nested CGroups for implemeting those policies for controlling resources/priorities on their hosts.
Virtualization is very ineffcient and Docker/Linux containers are a perfect example of how peole are starting to see that again:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?... / https://www.youtube.com/watch?...
Suppposedly, CPU utilization on AWS is very low, maybe even only 7%:

For their own services Google doesn't use VMs, but Google does offer VMs to customers and to control the resources used by VM they run the VM inside a container.
Here are some talks Google did at DockerCon that mentions some of the details of how they work:

Like the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation is such an honest organisation.
They apply the same ruthless business rules to their foundation.
I don't think much has changed.
You create a system where the people/companies with the most money don't have more to say then those that don't.
It does not have to be, here is an example:
