My question is, why do people think it's okay if Facebook has that data, but not Cambridge Analytica? Why does Facebook get a pass storing all the calls you made and all the profiles and webpages you looked at?
I used the same toothbrush for a year. Is this bad? How do you know when to replace it?

This and other automated tracking/recording/etc methods will basically make privacy a thing of the past. It should be illegal, because without privacy, there can't be democracy (see the Facebook scandals as an example).

All I’m saying is that we heard you the first 10 times.

You aren’t changing anything by telling us another 10 times.

Well things like needing more rest. I ended up "resting" 3 weekdays a week. Or things like taking 3 hours to prepare for the work day, via meditation, clearing up my workspace, getting exercise, and so on. I wouldn't say it's laziness, but having too much time makes you bad at time management.
I've seen a lot of those since a couple of years. Either when searching for very recent events or Autoplay. Autoplay ones would get a full view when I'm not looking at the screen, sleeping etc.
Economic inequality perhaps?

If you sort https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_income_eq... by "CIA Gini %" and skip the countries where there is no data in that column, then sort https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_intention... by the "2010" column, then squint a bit at the top ten or twenty countries in each list, they look kinda correlated. (Or co-correlated with a whole bunch of other factors.)
Convince me, as someone that wasn't even alive when these pensions were being granted, why I should pay for gold-plated pension plans far above and beyond what I'm expecting to get in my own retirement when I'm seeing less and less value from the services those would-be pensioners provide and in general contribute significantly less "value" to society than the work I do.

...

Note that I'm not as anarchist or libertarian as the above makes me sound, but it does emphasize the point I'm trying to make: I don't think you'll ever convince the current generation to pay for the previous one so I don't think there will ever be a collective willingness to pay "moderately higher" taxes. My bet is on an ugly outcome where the old and young battle it out in the courts between haircuts to pension plans and higher taxes with politicians muddling their way to an ugly middle ground that no one likes.
But it worked.
Unfortunately, their PWA "add to homescreen" feature is so bad, it's unusable. I've had to tell my users not to add to the homescreen.

For example: sending a PWA to background causes it to die. For my music player app, this is a showstopper; the audio stops playing.

Bringing the PWA to the foreground causes a full refresh. Again, showstopper for my PWA.

Well, I suppose it's better that they re-use someone else's gratuitously different syntax than invent their own gratuitously different syntax.
I think it's OK too, and see those things as investments.

We all benefit from the higher availability of liquid dollars present in the majority of spenders. Demand backed by liquid dollars is a resource. Demand not backed is a cost.

It's cheaper to live overall. People can take risks, etc...

It's worth noting the Post Office does not operate on tax dollars. It's self funded, and could serve as a model for non profit public services. There are political reasons why the Post presents financial difficulty right now. They aren't rooted in any realities, just agendas seeking to marginalize it to favor for profit works.

Normally, the Post does turn some profit, which can go into the general budget. That didn't really effect the overall benefit and value to people.

This suggests we could do public works, non profit in the sense of some one or entity accumulating money somewhere, to pay down other debt, and do so in an equitable, low impact way.

Public works can be broken down into two types:

Infrastructure. These works provide new opportunity for everyone to benefit economically. The Interstate Highway Project, for example, returned many times it's initial investment. As a nation, those greater efficiencies allow us to compete better. All good, except when tolling them is discussed. That idea turns a clear benefit into a cost, and it hurts our ability to compete.

The other type is services. This is the Post Office model.

I often wonder how health care, basic banking, might be improved and actually pay us all nationally using the Post Office model.

It's not exactly a basic human right, it still comes down to the fact that file sharing is not theft because there is no direct loss as a result of the sharing. A person could cause indirect loss as a result of many things, but it is not inherently wrong.
No more privacy :')
This has been sitting in the back of my mind for a while now and I decided to pull the trigger a few days ago in the wake of the FB congressional hearings.

Big tech companies are profiting from our data but why not give people the option to share those profits? There are definitely benefits, like targeted ads and helping companies improve products but there are better and more transparent ways of doing this. If there was a way to follow you around 24/7, with your consent, we could get better insight on what you do and how you do it. This data would be 0-100% anonymized - where you choose how much of your personal info you want to share (location, age, etc.) - and sold to the same sources that currently buy data. The biggest differences are: 1) the data would be complete, 2) the data would be more detailed, 3) you would get a share of the pie.

Looking for your guys' thoughts on this and if anyone is interested in joining the battle with me. More info can be found at https://www.browsercoin.io
While I am deeply concerned about the issue of privacy, my immediate concern regarding ads is keeping the ads distinct from other content. In other words, I want every ad to be instantly recognizable as an ad so I can more quickly choose to ignore it and go about my business.

The moment I have determined that Content A is an ad, I remove it from my attentional space. I make no exception for ads that may be about products I want. I refuse to engage with ads. Period.
Yes, thanks.

> ...has the potential to significantly lower engagement friction compared to other solutions

That's the idea, yes. But it seems I'm having trouble communicating that :)

> I also wonder if you're somewhat low-balling yourself at what I assume is $7 per user month

Yes $7/user/month. Though, the thought is to move into the "enterprise" at some point, since I would bet a lot of companies wouldn't be comfortable putting all of their organizational knowledge in the cloud (at least I wouldn't).
China has controlled the market on these for some time, using this control to its geopolitical advantage many a time. If Japan wants the right to merely compete in the market, they're in for a fight.

I just checked the facts. You're not necessarily wrong. An exception is DNC-led Delaware. DNC strongholds tend to have the worst credit ratings.
The alternative (and current reality) is that the same things are decided by about four companies in an entirely intransparent manner.

At least the W3C had processes and a wide array of members.

As if building a competitive browser isn't hard enough. You then have to convince people to use it. Considering the walled gardens 3 of the big 4 are erecting around the platforms the control, that seems neigh impossible.
My limited understanding is the toxic part is less the mining and more the refining — the acid baths that raw material goes into to extract the metals. I’d assume that’d need to be on land.

> I’m more impressed by Xeon Gold vs EPYC perf.

The hardware used in this benchmark isn't very well chosen. All the systems have a different number of cores (Power 16, AMD 32, Intel 40), and the AMD system has the additional disadvantage over the others of being 1P instead of 2P, which approximately halves the available cooling and correspondingly limits clock speeds. The results aren't very surprising given that.

Making comparisons like this can make sense when one of the competitors doesn't make an equivalent product, but they all do make products with an equivalent number of sockets and cores.
You keep repeating over and over that the big advantage to XHTML is "not having to run headless browsers", which I don't understand. I use Selenium all the time for my job, it's not great but it's... not horrible? It's fine, it's not some massive inconvenience, and it's definitely not worth getting rid of HTML5 to abandon it, when, as others have pointed out and you keep ignoring, the practical effect would be that the web would be useless for actual humans without plug-ins.

I guess I don't get your huge bone to pick with Selenium.
The advertising model is not only tendentious but perverse. Is it the only way?
> not all related to browser making, quite understandably was never fully on board with the new WHATWG HTML spec efforts.

That's the other thing that pisses me off about the WHATWG, is how much they shit all over XML and other interoperability technologies. E.g. their URL standard (because, why not fuck the IETF as well) basically ignores anything non-HTTP for specious reasons.

"That’s great if you’re either an existing browser vendor, using a browser, or developing a broken website." - and that's the whole point, in the marketplace the convenience of these people matters much, much, much more than the convenience of those people who want to "try to write a new browser from scratch, or a tool to scrape websites."

If you want to scrape websites or show them in a browser, then you have to follow the needs of makers of these sites, because you need them and they don't need you. If you want to go to the right and they want to go to the left, you either follow them or go alone and become unable to scrape or browse their content. If there's a feature that they want to use that makes your parsing more complicated, tough luck, that feature is going in as long as somebody (e.g. major browser vendors) will agree to make it work.
Hey, that's amazing! I think that having an AP server that stores data in IPFS is really cool. Where did the idea come from?
It would be awesome if the layers of the browser would allow for a more parseable, document-based web. That would be an effort towards standardization.

But are you really advocating for removing dynamic media from the browser? That seems like an incredible step backwards in most regards. In the absence of a desktop toolkit to rule them all, browser standardization is what we are left with right?
Right. But they do know what program you are watching (which might be a demographic clue) and they do know a rough geographic area.

IIRC, with SA on, accuracy was to within 100 meters. And that's enough for troop movements but not accurate enough for missiles and artillery. So using it for land navigation would have been fine. It's sounding like it was a case of "We want it because we want it"

Use the Post Office model. When profitable, it contributes to the general fund. See my other comment here.

Political hobbling and fuckery related to post office operations done to marginalize otherwise exemplary performance aside, the model has merit.
Isn't that just theater? None of them can tell Apple and Google what to put in their browsers; in fact, if they can't convince just one of the big 4 browser vendors to do something, their standards have no meaning at all.

> R&D doesn't happen in non-profit government corporations either (atleast not largely). Most R&D comes from the manufacturers where the state (or relevant institution) buys the drugs from.

> The WHATWG has always opposed the W3C's spec. They see it as confusing to have two "official" specifications.

The WHATWG has not always opposed the W3C's spec. The WHATWG explicitly agreed to work with the W3C to form an edited, snapshot spec based on the WHATWG spec. That's what HTML5 was supposed to be.

However, the W3C process then hijacked this, by dropping things from the WHATWG spec, adding things back that had been removed because they had never been implemented properly and implementing them wouldn't have been very useful, and so on. The WHATWG objected to this useless divergence.

The problem with Kentucky and many other states is that the politicans raided the pension fund during good times to fund government operation, and then acts surprised when it's facing a huge shortfall. So it's disingenuous to paint this as greedy teachers and public servants when it was grossly mismanaged on the state politician side. However that seems to be a certain faction's goal.

In addition, Kentucky teachers have worked under the assumption of getting a pension because the state never extended social security to them. They worked with lower wages and no future social security with the promise of pension would be there for them, sometimes as their only retirement income. How can you go back and threaten this pension when teachers took these low paying jobs under that assumption?

Will you be doing any processing on it after the law is passed? If you do, you certainly fall under the law. If you're not doing any processing and you don't have a legal obligation to hold the data, why are you?

(Also you probably need to demonstrate that you have consent to hold that data in compliance with the law. But I'm not entirely sure on how that applies to pre-existing holdings.)
That legislation was specific to mobile phones and has since expired. It asked that chargers either have USB Type A Female or USB Type Micro B Male connectors, Apple already offered Type A Female and thus was always in compliance.

It would not surprise me if there were similar legislation around Type C however the industry is still coming to terms with Type C and so I don't anticipate that happening for a few years.
I think the reason this isn't being reported much on is because it wasn't a leak. It sounds like it was just a scrape of data from the site.

‘The public’s right to access the historical record’ seems to me to be an incredibly Orwellian phrase. It seems to me that there is an absolute right to access factual historical information.
The audience for non-individual web ads is not the entirety of Internet users. For instance, when I make a search on DuckDuckGo my geographic location (although this is optional) and search terms provide a demographic that is useful for specific advertising, without personally identifying or tracking me.

Never, because there is no W3C-designed standard anymore. Today they just take snapshots of the WHATWG standard every N months, slap their name on it, and call that a standard. The browser vendors roll their eyes at this because they couldn't care less about the W3C and what it publishes, but they've tolerated it as long as it wasn't causing any problems.

The issue here is that now the W3C seems to want to actually make a real standard of their own, and the vendors are going "No. Go away."
