I disagree that this is usable enough.

Every webpage and their dog has now started to ask for permissions to popup notifications. I find this really annoying. Sure, I can disable it for one site, but then the next one I visit pops up the same question if it's OK to spam me.

I've turned it off browser-wide as a result.

If asking for permissions is to be an option in the future, I hope it is a completely manual opt-in, available in some kind of site-specific settings thingie (that makes no effort to distract the user by noises, popups or red badges by itself).

I think this is reasonable given the ratio of sites a user should be willing to grant any permissions to, vs the amount they should want as sandboxed as humanly possible.

Americans have a political spectrum, like a range of beliefs that the conservatives have to the liberals. Probably most countries have different political spectrums, Europe in general has done away with gun rights debates and so their political spectrum is different than those in the u.s.

What is the prior in this logic?

Daily reminder: Bayesian logic does not deal in quantifiers. Trying to represent quantifier based logic in Bayesian systems results in absurd. (The update function does not work.)

Thus it cannot be used to justify or counter existential statements.

It can tell you: given prior A and conditional statements B through W, the chain probability assuming distribution Z may be Y.
It cannot easily deal with truncated chains either.

Of course they do. They consider whether or not to give me access. If they respond with 200, they are effectively telling me that the information is public and the request is approved. There's no law moral or legal that stops me from asking for information.

I could ask a law agent for classified information, but he's not going to prosecute me for asking questions. He could be suspicious and ask "how do you know a document with that number exists?". And I can reply "oh, I'm just asking for random numbers".

Even if they didn't sell this information wholesale via data brokerages, your argument leaves open wiggle-room for claiming innocence while still monetizing the information via selling aggregate data.

This is something that is wholly uncovered in this whole debacle -- aggregate data (aka "anonymized" data ) is the cake beneath the icing. While Facebook et al may play nicely with regulators (and the general public) by quickly backing away from wholesale "unfiltered" data access, they can skirt the rules by providing "researchers" with anonymized data.

All of them want this anonymized data for their own analytics reporting to measure success metrics and most will walk away when the spigot is closed.

8 Best Practices for Mobile UX Design (for 2018 and Beyond)
I use the following configuration:

I run two tinyproxy instances on my home server and I point all browser traffic to the first instance. The first instance run with the default routing table on port 8888 and has entries like upstream localhost:8889 ".somesite.com" the second instance, which run on port 8889 is run with the vpn as default route (I use setfib under FreeBSD).

With this setup, traffic goes by default directly on the net, but the tinyproxy config file can be used to redirect some traffic through the VPN.

Of course, you can do it the other way around to have traffic by default on the VPN and direct some traffic.

Google and Facebook have an employee:user ratio of roughly 1,000,000:1. This makes any hands-on intervention exceptionally expensive.

(Not impossibly, given high-enough levels of interest, but high.)

Google, and technology's, most powerful tool is its ability to amplify reach, capability, and efficiency. This works very well in a broadcast-style transmission.

Where that transmission is reversed, and the many nodes start trying to feed back to the single hub, there's a problem. It's interesting to note that much of the history of the formation of the modern corporate entity has been one of changing modes of communication (and the parallel development of management structures). Two authors who explore this in (well, for me) fascinating detail are JoAnne Yates and James R. Beniger

Yates: "The Memorandum as a Management Genre"
http://www.ismlab.usf.edu/dcom/Ch6_YatesMemoMgtCommQtly1989....

Yates: Control Through Communication: The rise of system in American management
https://www.worldcat.org/title/control-through-communication...

Beniger, The Control Revolution
http://www.worldcat.org/title/control-revolution-technologic...

In particular, broadcast technologies give leverage, but work best, as with the agricultural model, where seed can be scattered at will, and harvesting is simple, bulk, and commodity. When your plants talk back to you and have concerns about their growing conditions and/or opportunities, you're going to need a more complex feedback system. And it will have to be effective.

This has long been an Achilles' heel of Google (and, to be fair, many other large corporations).

On which, see A.O. Hirschman's Exit, Voice, and Loyalty: Responses to decline in firms, organizations, and states.
https://www.worldcat.org/title/exit-voice-and-loyalty-respon...

The fact that the modern corporation is, by its very intent and design, a risk-externalising machine, one that shifts danger to customers, users, vendors, and employees, rather than either the investor-principles or their manager-agents (and yes: principle-agent problem is another dynamic) is itself part of this very toxic mix.
As I read this, the New Yorker seemed to highlight the problems from a more leftist, social safety net perspective. The Chinese immigrants circumvented the tax code in every way they could - working under the table, starting unregistered businesses in garages and vans, living in the garages and vans, even dying secretly so their passports could be repurposed for new immigrants. This meant hospitals and other public services went underfunded.

What I found interesting, though, were the competing right-wing narratives in the lives of the immigrants. They were so ready to live industrious, entrepreneurial lives (largely) outside of the protection of government, pulling themselves up by their bootstraps, while their work ethic, frugality, and ultimate success led to anti-immigrant, nativist sentiments and the politics that reflect them.

I tend to be relatively laissez-faire in my tastes for both economic and immigration policy, but watching the right-wing in Europe and the United States reject the latter makes me think the sentiment comes from a deeper, visceral level. Almost like an immune system rejecting something it doesn't recognize. For all the posturing and intellectual maturity of free-market economics and small government policies, it seems that right-wing politics will always find easier alliances among those with xenophobic or even racist sentiments because those motivations are hardwired into our DNA, and embracing your hard wiring is a lot easier than comprehending Friedman or Hayek.
I'd argue that in this case the centralization helps because blocking GCM would kill all notifications for all apps. As long as they (Russia) are not willing to do that Telegram can use this as a side-channel to update their IPs for all clients.

The other option would be for google to turn push notifications off selectively for Telegram and only in russia. Not sure if they can/will do that.
This is a great example.

It's like an exam question where you have to know what the teacher is thinking.

You're supposed to have some outside context, but not too much, not enough to know their reputations. That's quite a fine line to ask a translation system to draw.

The real threat for you is becoming the hero that must put ridiculously long hours to keep the wheels running. At that point I would ask for underlings, a big pay or leave.
Many reasons:

- It assumes this is all that the data is used for and that the data doesn't get a second life with companies that can use the information to punish you.

- It assumes that the data is never stolen by malicious entities and put to use against you

- It assumes that all the data collected is required to provide the information promised

- It assumes you want to buy things from theses stores in the first place (think ideological reasons for not shopping at a place)

- It assumes you knowingly consented to these terms with understanding of the cost

Basically no matter how you shape it, it's the advertisers trying to avoid saying they've entered you into a system and contract without your consent, but it's okay because "you get to see things you want to buy", neverminding that this rarely is the case and the algorithms are hyped up beyond belief, often offering advertisements for items you have already purchased and need to rarely purchase. (e.g., you just bought a water heater, here are some other water heaters you might like)

I'm not really convinced by lengthy Terms of Services and FAQs like Facebook's that they honestly care about people being upset as they miss the point entirely. You still don't know what was collected specifically, you cannot opt out of it from their side (must use blocking tools which companies constantly change their code to avoid), there's no way to verify about any of the information they've collected or whether they've stopped collecting it if you opt out, there's no way to confirm that your data is deleted if you request it, etc.

All this for slightly targeted ads?
