It's quite an interesting symbiotic relation. The film festival is very expensive for the town of Cannes (and a complete nightmare for all of us living in the region), but it also fuels the prestige that lets Cannes host dozens of these less known but far more profitable events: MIPIM, MIDEM, Lions, Yachting...

How to fix error while moving messages in Apple Mail – Resolve Mac Errors
When Google Translate was new in my language Finnish, their translation quality was atrocious.

I tried this sentence: "Hei äiti, puhun suomea". The expected translation would be "Hi mom, I speak Finnish".

Instead Google's result was: "July's mother, I speak English".

Obviously the engine had been trained on unvetted data sets where the word "English" occurred in translations in a position where the original had the word "Finnish", and no context was provided to avoid this kind of mistake.

The word "July" came about because "hei" is also used as an abbreviation for "heinäkuu" (July). It was sobering that a supposed world-class AI couldn't distinguish between these two usages. Machine learning needs a lot of old-fashioned handtuned human-made heuristics.
You clearly haven't spent enough time on it - that's exactly the qualities that it trains within you, although the method it uses is kinda harsh.

Yes, although data transfer fees may apply if you go over the free quota.
Can't say I am 100% sure of it, but around 1 month ago Facebook switched the news feed algorithm from promoting posts from pages you like, to promoting posts from your friends.
Or just make the law so that the customers own their own private details, and not the company.

If the company wishes to use private data for anything else than providing service to the customer, it must ask for permission.

They can still pick ads based on the private data and personalise the user experience but they can not share or otherwise disclose it to anyone else.
I'm sure Norwegian military intelligence has a semi legal access to meta data and contents of my calls: but at least it's clearly illegal for them. The largest isp/phone provider (telenor) actually fought back against the eu data collection directive because they had to store more data than they currently did (3 months).

But yeah, data protection in the private sector in the US is dismal.

The idea that a GDPR request will cause Facebook any significant financial harm is laughable. They already have a facility to enable you to download your data, expect a similar tool or portal to appear that will provide you with access to this data. No more, no less, and a couple of months work of a few engineers and interns.

I pay $30 / month for Offramp (https://offramphq.com/), an automated customer-recovery tool. It's saved me three customers whom I'd have otherwise lost in the last two months (one customer = $35 MRR), so it's been pretty much a no-brainer for me.
That's impossible with the GDPR for privacy relevant data. That data cannot legally be an asset of a company because a company cannot own it. A company may be a data processor or data controller, but not a data owner for other peoples private data. They may choose to ask each individual if they agree to let another company use the data, but that's a different thing.
Cambridge Analytica didn't conduct marketing for Brexit campaign groups.
The article actually contains a good point regarding investors and external influence:

> Companies like Facebook, publicly traded, have a legal obligation to maximize profits for their shareholders. Private companies with investors are similarly obligated. Nowhere in the equation does it say that they’re obligated to do anything for you - the only role you serve is to be a vehicle for exploitation.

But I see an exception to this rule: Self-financed companies where the founders are still the shareholders and where the founders are in the company for the long run, and where the company is financed by the users.

If your company is financed by the users, then in order to make the business sustainable you need to optimize for the users. If the users demand privacy, then you optimize for privacy.

I'm aware that slow, sustainable growth is not popular in silicon valley, but that's probably a question of culture (in many european countries a lot of startups still follow this path).

> The entire purpose of Cannes is to showcase films which need distribution

This seems like one of these things that were probably nominally true all along, but that everybody were very happy to forget as Cannes became a super-prestigious celebration of the art of cinema, but then gets dug up when it's convenient to keep the arriviste on the outside.

I mean, if Cannes is just an industry trade show, it certainly isn't justified that media from across the world (including public service media) sends their top arts reviewers out at great expense?
> When will people realize that surveillance can be abused and it is usually for political or corporate espionage, has nothing to do with making anyone more secure or safe.

Throughout history, surveillance of a population has never been in the interests of that population.
On Reddit, to responses like this ("America is incapable of universal healthcare because... Reasons") I like to link to the Wikipedia pages of the multitude of other countries with far lower GDPs solving the problem.

I can probably predict the response but on the chance I'll be surprised - why can't America solve the problem when Taiwan, Switzerland, Sweden, France, Germany, the UK, Canada, Finland, Norway, etc etc etc have or nearly have?

Just a few years ago, the talking heads were fawning over a few politicians you might know, who claimed their social media strategy was the linchpin in winning the election. Political campaigns of a certain bend would brag about how rich their voter targeting data was and how much more effective they were with their advertising dollars online.

What I’m trying to understand is if the average reader thinks these methods are bad in general, or just bad when the “wrong” person uses them well?

Political advertising is actually important - we want issue focused ads helping communicate candidates stated positions on hot button issues. And yes, we even want the hit jobs when behavior warrants it and should be highlighted.

Is “influence elections” supposed to be a scary way of saying getting your word out? If the ads were lies, report them to the FTC or FEC. If the ads were effective, isn’t that the whole fucking point?
In practice, Citizens United obviated any US regulations on political advertising. A rich patron can pour as much money as s/he desires into advertising on behalf of a campaign, and we don't have a right to know who that person is.

Welcome to France :)

We have laws on the percentage of "foreign" music you are allowed to play on radio stations (to fight against the evil english language), laws that prevent TV channels from playing films on friday or saturday evening (to protect those poor cinemas), laws that govern the number of pharmacies by number of inhabitants and disallow ownership of multiple pharmacies or ownership by non-pharmacists (to protect them against the great evil that is competition)...
I think many places it is simply illegal with political advertisement. They use facebook groups though since that is outside the country borders, but I dont see why that would be hard to make it illegal also.
Why is that? If a country tries to claim it cannot afford not to torture, can't we simply point to all the countries that manage without it, as I do for the healthcare debate?
that is what they claim they are able to do. the reality is likely quite different.
Americans pay double in health care costs per capital than any industrialized nation. And we don't have better outcomes. All of those countries have universal healthcare. Citation, OECD.

For me, it was because a year ago there was only one source for this info, and it was a somewhat dubious one (Vice).

It’s only recently become totally clear that the worst of the reports were true.
Georgia [US] Anti-Hacking Bill Dangerously Misses the Mark of Protecting People
You seem to be making an argument based on “semantics” here?

The idea of extending an insurance program into a mechanism for subsidizing those who can’t pay the premium does not mean it magically transforms the program into a totally different thing.

In the limited definition, it is still the case that the healthy pay the cost of sick.

The extension of the concept of insurance fits semantically, because it is based on the idea that there is an element of chance inherent in who gets sick; getting sick includes many factors that are outside the source of an individual’s contol (as well as factors that are within an individual’s control).

The ACA included a “tax,” among other methods to socialize the cost of covering the “premiums” for those that couldn’t cover them on their own.

The whole system relied on the same actuarial principles as the previous system to smooth out variance in costs to individuals.

Paul Ryan sounds like an idiot here, because he is a mealy mouthed politician, who doesn’t have the courage of his convictions.

Ryan is libertarian minded tool, whose real opposition to the ACA is not that the healthy pay for the costs of the sick. His opposition is to the elements of the program that force wealthier members of society to cover the medical costs of the poorer members.

The advantage of Mastodon is that people do have the power to moderate and take things down.

But only on instances they are administrators off.

So while I can take down illegal content on my instance I can't go to the japanese instance and ask them to stop posting all those anime girls. They follow their own rules and if I don't like them I can just not allow their content on my server.

If you want to follow both my server and the japanese server you'll have to find an instance that doesn't ban either of us or run your own.

(Though I trust that there are a good number of lightly administrated instances that it'll be easy to find one before you're forced to run your own)

A powerful enough observer will be able to observe two of the three properties no matter if TLS is used or not.

Most Mastodon servers have TLS, exceptions usually included instances deployed to localhost.

Mastodon doesn't technically require it but all clients I've seen do and the web interface relies on some features that are only available in a trusted context (HTTPS and localhost)

I don't really see the problem though, which instance you sign up to is up to you. You can sign up to a HTTP-only instance if you want.

The privacy of your data is in the hands of your local administrator more than any powerful observer (and servers you send messages too, like with email, for which all your complains are valid too since it functions similarly).

But I do agree wholeheartedly with your point. I'd love to see more people embrace hackability over shininess, and become more than just consumers again.

Wire works on every platform (you don't need a cellphone to sign up, only e-mail), and they released their server code a while ago as well, and documentations on how to set it up is work in progress, which means that in the future (actually even now, but most people don't know how to set it up :P) you won't even have to rely on their servers, you can easily self-host one.

As a company that deals with data analysis, Kaggle can surely tell between different levels of user participation.

Sure, but I'd argue the Facebook friend request is different to, say, the MSN friend request. One felt like adding someone to an address book, the other felt like officially adding someone to your circle of friends.

Electron does provide quite a lot of apis that do not exist (and hopefully never will) in browsers. Namely, complete access to the filesystem. It also does provide a way of creating native plugins.

Yeah we do. While I don't like Google tracking where I am from my cell phone when location-sharing is off, I love listening to music on Pandora and Spotify and I would never discover the new songs I do if there was no option to like or ban songs and evolve the station.

The cost of rebates to HP and Dell far exceeded the fine as they made up the majority of those companeis revenue at one point. The fines were an absolute bargain especially since Intel hasn't even paid the EU one yet.
That's implying that your friends would consider leaving Facebook at all because of privacy issues. If, instead, your choice is between "friends on unregulated FB" and "friends on regulated FB", I'd prefer the latter option.
[Spoiler Alert] It didn't grow to $1,500/mo.

Again with the offensiveness. I'm not sure why you're like this because you have not given any argument to your strong reactions, and are apparently judging me on a myriad of things (even equating me to a dog ffs) without even a shred of explanation.

> However, what about last week's scandal with Cambridge Analytica?

This isn't news to me. Any data submitted by a user to Facebook is forever surrendered to Facebook who then owns it. Facebook can do whatever they want with their property.

The only surprise there is that users so happily agree to this madness only to be shocked by the result. What did they think was going to happen? Still, I don't blame Facebook for this.

It reminds me how people (Twitter addicts) were shocked at this website 10 years ago: http://pleaserobme.com/

/ck/ is actually one of the sanest places on 4chan, in my personal opinion. It's not the nicest place on earth- I mean, it is 4chan, so memes and rudeness aren't against the rules. Couple that with optional anonymity, and you're bound to encounter some rough edges here and there.

Having said that though- I've been there since 2007, and I used to get lots of compliments for posting original content (pictures of food being cooked). People love to talk about food there- plus you get to hear actual line cooks talking about things. You don't have to wait forever to get a reply on a thread, and good threads (like costco food threads) can go up to hundreds of replies before being pruned.
