The only time we talk about this is the few days around DST changing. No one actually cares enough to carry on the conversation longer than that. Replies to this are only allowed to include examples of people putting forth a real effort to get rid of it.
I will accept the fact that case needs to be addressed in a general manner. However, back on-topic of the article: we were discussing forcing businesses to change their business model so that people who consume a companies product would have the option to pay rather than be tracked/advertised to. The case you suggest here is about protecting the rights of the person who does not use the product at all; which I was not addressing, as it was off-topic from the original discussion.
Technically, all of that is still opt-in. Don't use the services that use those services to track you. No one is forcing you to use any of the internet. I will take your point that these companies are taking this data without really telling you directly, although I'm sure that they've written this into their policies that nobody reads.
If you don't like the service they are providing for whatever reason, decide if you dislike it enough to find another provider. Then, do it and leave the old one. Why do we have any right to force them to change their business model?
Possibly. I think they might have a better appreciation for how hard it is to do something more than printing Hello World to a console or moving a turtle (dog, car, whatever) image around on the screen.
Wow, didn't expect to get a reply from the author. I just got a bit of a feeling that you were trying to get a rise out of him and stalking the booth. My apologies for misinterpreting your intentions.
Am I the only one a little concerned by how intent Lex Friedman (author of TFA) was on getting information from the representative that clearly didn't know anything. He took pictures of the booth while he waited around for the CEO to show.
You were born without your choosing, but you were not conceived for the purpose of a science experiment -- to be studied. Sure you had to see doctors, but that's because you wanted their help. This child would be sought after by no will of his own. Do I think doing this experiment is ethically wrong? I'm not sure, but there's a pretty big difference between your life and the life this child would have,

who actually wants this?

I liked the new XCOM game for a good couple of afternoons. With you on most everything else though.
Maybe look into a time-management solution and learn discipline like the pomodoro technique rather than using a high-tech solution as a crutch.
lol, gg 3
company's product* sorry for grammar.

If you don't like it, don't provide your information to that company.

I am, as well, a slave to this habit. It's a hard life.
Fair enough. I assumed it was a recent situation, and said "probably". I did not mean to imply that node.js is the only implementation out there.

Thanks AC, this is pretty much how I felt about the article.

Ah, point taken.
"server-side" javascript: probably talking about Node.js
More people being linked directly to the high resolution image, but less people actually visiting the website. This isn't really that confusing.
parenthesis around a number almost always indicate a negative number
So from the summary:
(5.08 Kelvin)
would be negative Kelvin? OK.
Ah, good. Thanks for the fix :)
Yeah, a lot of fail there. I have no idea what temperatures the summary is trying to express.

How about YOU be smart? Be aware of your own alcohol tolerances.
I sincerely hope you are joking.
