That is not what obsolete means. That is what un-maintained means. If I am the only person using and maintaining the source for hardware I developed my self, then it would perhaps still be maintained, even if it is obsolete. If nobody maintains the source even when there are millions of users, then it would be dropped. Hardly obsolete. Yes, very often obsolete hardware will become un-maintained, as there are not any developers that have the hardware or the will to maintain it. Obsolete =/= un-maintained.
I do not care if the comoanies make money or not. I do mind that the companies share my data. They should not be allowed to do that. If they then can not survive, so be it. If they need to find another way to make money, that is their problem, not mine.
This is not about them being able to catch them committing a crime. This is about data collection that might be used when the case goes to court. Obviously they can just disregard it if it shows evidence the person was innocent. This because the interest is in closing cases and getting convictions, not about solving cases correctly. Having a lot of information will make it easier to let people admit to a crime they have not done.
Some people like mechanical watches. I find it amazing that in the age of devices capable of handling arbitrary precision arithmetic, someone opts for a process inherently limited by scales of size of physical material features. This is definitely not one of those things I'd be pining for.
That is comparing apples and oranges. Either you compare the Americans leaving to the total of the Americans that have FP, or you compare all people leaving to all of FB.
As we do not have the number of all people leaving, you can only compare it to the American numbers. Because; for all we know; the number of 9% is low compared to the rest of the world. Or the rest f the world started signing up like crazy.
What Zuckerberg says is irrelevant. We have no idea what "meaningful" means. Could be that for him that would be 1% or 99%. We can just see that he says there is a drop and he thinks that is not a meaningful one. He is also not disputing the number.
It will also help the site comply with the upcoming European GDPR privacy law that requires data portability, assuming the feature launches before May 25th.
What happenend is that they needed to be ready for the law and therefore you are able to do what they say you can do.
Complying with the GDPR is the cause, not the result. If not, they risk 10.000.000 EUR or 4% of their worldwide turnover. Not profit in one EU country. Not profit in the EU. Not turnover in the EU. Worldwide. Estimated for 2018 that is between a lot and a shitload. Some websites that are a must read https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... https://www.eugdpr.org/ Read them as more of this will be discussed on/.
Not sure if they do, but they can integrate it into existing maps. e.g. Google Maps. 1.5 meters does not tell you what road you are on, but what lane you are in. I often have been in a situation where I was, accoring to the APP I used, driving on the wrong side of a paralell road. Especially if I did not follow the directions the app was thinking I would go.
That dies not stop people from thinking it. People also think hackers ad bad people. The drivers are not trained like pilots, as so many people think that autopilot means that the car needs no human, than that is what it means for non-pilots. If it would mean the same, people using one in acar should follow similar lesssons as pilots do before using one.
That is nice. Was the test to be a pilot the same as being a driver? If nit, there is no reason to compare the two. Maeketing companies are well aware how every word will be interpreted. They called it autopilot, knowing people would interpret it as hands-off-self-driving.
If you think about these companies and their service as 1 computer per company (now called a cloud) we can get back to the old saying that 6 computers would be enough fore the whole world. IBM was right all along.
Right and left are the wings of the same bird. What needs to be done is a complete political overhaul so a multi party system will replace it. The way to prevent a multi party system to go to a bi-party system is already known, Look it up. The reason a multi party system is better is because you need to negotiate and nothing is black-white. That way the most people (No, not all) will get the benefits. How to do a political system is also known. This can happen peacefully. History has shown that that is not the default way and the US even has implemented a way to NOT have it peacefully. Those guns you are allowed to have is not so you can hunt rabbits to eat during picketing. They are there to be used in a militia to go up against government.
The only thing, at this moment, that is not available is the willingness of enough people to actually do something about it. This could stay the same for several hundreds of years or could change next week. History only shows the steps afterwards and that is always 20/20.
Obviously I do hope that a political change happens peacefully, but the people that have the power nd the monies are not really willing to give it up.
They do not use it, but theu do listen in. Otherwise he would have stated they do not listen in and thus are unable to use it, because they do not have the data.
What if it breaks or gets stolen? From what I see it is basically a password manager. I would need several of them as I have several computers. At this moment I am typing this at my PC at work during my break. I would not be able to use the dongle on this PC. I would also need a dongle for each and every PC that I own, as I might want to use that specific one. It is not convinient to move them fropm one to the next one as I often use two at the same time. And some are even accessed remotely. And I must not forget to remove the dongle if somebody else is using it.
And then we need to hope that this is an open standard that can be used in such a way that I am not dependent from any company, nor that I am limited in any way or that any third party has any information on me in any way.
The cost is so low, because now they do not have to buy that data from FaceBook or get it two weeks later from the monthly NSA DVD they get.
At this moment you can decide what country gets your data first. I am happier with that being China than the US. All will get the data eventually. If it where printed in the US, that company will be hacked and it will just be another "Company X was hacked and YYY million accounts are stolen with all the content."
It does not make any difference, except for timing, who gets that data. It should just not be used as a security feature.
The problem with security questions is that you should be able to answer them in situations where you do not have access to anything.
If they ask the maiden name of my mother, I will know it. But if my answer is "jgdwjyg+6G" I will probably not remember it that well. I also would need to remember it for each and every site that asks that question.
So now I am on a holiday and my wallet is stolen, together with my phone and I was on a holiday, so no PC with me. I call my bank to transfer some money to a friend. They ask me the security question and now I am unable to answer it.
I know people who where in that situation with a police officer next to them at the hotel where they were unable to pay the bill in a country where they did not speak their language.
To me security questions are absolutely useless. It will make the security weaker and because they are so seldom asked, people will forget what they filled out. Often they do not need to retype the answer, so mistyping will not be notices, but will be important later.
And the majority of the people has NO idea what a 'security question' means, let alone what it means if you forget it. As always they are trying to exclude the human in the risk assessment and then blame that human later.
I would not be surprised if somebody had found a way to abuse the auto-removal of music. Perhaps enough complaints and they even remove those. We know that Youtube has been blocking movies and sites without reviewing complaints or at least demonitized them. Thsi is how that works: People put up a video of their own making with their own content. Somebody complaints and the content is (temporarily) demonitized till the maker notices and complaints. It will then be reversed. The problem is that most videos will make the most money in the beginning. All those subscribers will look at the video and you will not get any money from them.
Then there are the videos that are auto-blocked because somebody send in that it was copyrighted without any proof whatsoever.
Could be either that or they pissed off enough people and now one is pissing back. That would be better news than them being hacked. How could they be hacked? Perhaps there finally was a person who was able to solve the Captcha questions correctly.
Looking at the history of Apple and the fact they want to have it all in their own garden, I am going for option one, until they can prove, beyond any reasonable doubt, that it was option 2. At that moment I will still go for option two as the correlation and still believe it is option one.
Remember: these are the guys blaming their customers that they where holding their phone wrong.
The thing is that they will get away with it. In three weeks they will state that they reversed it. The bad thing will already have happened and less people will be willing to repair their devices elsewhere.
As they will not be punished in any way, they will be doing this again and again. Nice to have no accountability whatsoever. What should happen is that each person that is affected gets the money to buy of the price of a new phone AND a new phone. That for all people that have bought said phone, regardless if it is broken or not.
That would make it that this will NEVER happen again. Not with phones, not with anything else.
Youtube is owned by Alphabet, just like Google and Doubleclick. They not only have the data from Youtube. With all the he other sites a person visits and not visits, they will know.
If you advertise on tv to a show made for kids, you also will have adults watching. The false positives do not matter. That varbie ad on that kids show is directed at kids, not at daddy with a fetish for bimbos.

$20.000.000 ? How about the parties settled out of court for an undisclosed amount less than $600,000?

I use gmx.com if you are not afraid of German, go for gmx.de. especially with the new provacy laws coming going for EUbased solution might be good.
But then they are just a civilian with a mental issue. So it doesn't really count, right?
