Once targeted ads started becoming a thing I noticed a precipitous drop off for ads for singles in my area and feminine hygiene products. So I consider it a plus.
Spend some time shopping for things which are visually appealing. Then at least the websites you visit might display to you visually appealing items.
The author makes some vague references, but doesn't provide any examples. I don't know what he's talking about. For all I know the people in Silicon Valley are in touch with reality and the author is so far out of touch that he can't recognize when he sees it.
There's a difference between redundancy and backups. Google certainly has redundancy. I would be shocked if they have backups. And by backups I mean a disconnected, cold storage, copy of all of the data.
Exactly this. This story reveals a violation of assumptions I had made about Googleâ(TM)s handling of my data
Really? Their terms of service say that anything you upload or store in their service belongs to them. Did you build your assumptions based off of what they wrote down they would do?
If you care about such things, you simply should not do business with a US company.
I think what it actually means is if you care about such things you should not do business with any company which will store your data on servers in the US. There are US companies which will make sovereignty promises with where your data gets stored.
If a baker has to make cakes for gay weddings, YouTube has to offer an equal platform for diverse users that they might disagree with.
When the gay couple removes the cake from the baker, no one attending the wedding will be associating the wedding with the baker. There's a clear division between the two. But with hosting a video on YouTube, YouTube is associated with the video. It's not difficult to see the video to YouTube connection, whereas with the baker one would had to go way out of their way to associate the gay wedding with the baker.
The gay wedding does not tarnish the bakers good name. Hosting democracy destroying videos on your website does tarnish your good name.
How well do these cache timing attacks happen when you don't control the hardware and all sorts of other activities are swapping stuff in and out of the cache?
From what I've read about sleep deprivation therapy, that's effective. Spend three weeks, and 70% of people are cured of their depression. The problem with it, is it's not patentable, so there aren't any market forces to push it.
3. Once it's allowed, gamers will start hosting their own servers for games which are currently not abandoned because nothing is keeping gamers honest. As a result, it does hurt the businesses business model.
A guy in my church congregation who works at Google, mentioned about three weeks ago that he feels if he ever says "I think that a marriage between a man and woman is good." He'll be escorted right out of campus. It does make me think how much non-development communication has to go on there to have such a fear.
You'd think that on diversity issues (or any social issue for that matter) there is no profit to be made or lost and that everybody would put their best tactics forward for everyone to use and receive praise for being at the forefront of equality. But no... Let's send the lawyers in. We shall have great diversity, but everybody else can suck it.
Diversity is a zero sum game. Diversity demands that 50% of your employees, in every position, are female, and that in every position there's equal representation of all races. But then James Damore rears his head and says "Hey, maybe there's just not equal interest, in all genders and all minorities in all positions." This means that there's less qualified, diversity quota filling, candidates than what diversity goals says there should be. So if your company can suck up all of the good ones, you've checked that box of. It's zero sum for all companies involved.
How about a study showing the impact of 1, 2 3 or 4 kids i the car with a parent?
For our oldest two it wasn't related to how many kids, but was the fact that legally they're supposed to be backwards facing. The kids hated it. And dealing with a screaming kid, who is backwards facing, is a lot more effort than one who is forwards facing. Flipping their safety seat, to forwards facing early, was always a big help.
I think you make the mistake of thinking that the people who read those tweets or follow this accounts were anywhere close to neutral to start with. I do not think you could find many people who had their minds changed.
True, but it might have riled them up enough to remember to vote; when without the false placed anger, they might have not voted.
Every time I hear a professor, boss, etc. start talking "team assignment," I know its just a polite way of having the strong students/employees carry the weak ones.
My wife failed three semesters of math courses in a row at the local community college because of group assignments. The community college was hyper focused on group work, as that would prepare students better for the real world where everyone works in teams. My wife would start out the semester doing fine, and then the group assignments would come out. After that the two people assigned to my wifes group would drop out of school. She'd try to do what she could, but she's not a rock star at math and couldn't carry the extra workload. She'd get docked points for it being obvious that what was being handed in was the work of one person. She'd go to the professors about her plight, and they'd be apathetic about it: the group assignments were final, and this is the way we do things at [local community college]. She eventually gave up trying to further her education.

Is Google going to have to turn over their backed up server data?
Why do you think Google has backups? Backups are way too expensive for an operation their size.

Not one Trump voter in the country is now thinking to themselves "wow, Facebook tricked me into voting for Trump!".
Just because they're not thinking it doesn't mean that it didn't happen.

According to statistics, it sounds like stupid people with opinions often scream louder than people who understand facts.
Ah, Democracy.

Why do we need a bloody Russia post every 12 hours on this site?
Because it's the nerds who enabled this new kind of targeted enabling to happen.
