# What if we had an Advertising ID API in the browser?

With an Advertising ID I could be in charge of the things I want tracked about myself, an opt in participation, not only a generic yes or no, instead, a detailed approach on tracking.

If I had an advertising ID that the browser allows me to manage, and which would be common across all browsers, there would be definitely no need to have that much effort thrown away at identifying Internet users with all kinds of trickery.

1. I just provide this advertising ID to all advertisers by default.
2. Then I choose what I want tracked. THE BROWSER then tracks said items in an anonymous mode, transmitting non identifiable information only (such as product names, SKUs, Page contents, even links but say in a screwed up order).
3. Then I can ban advertisers or networks that show me crap. One by one.

It would be a shared effort.

The user will do some work, but they will have the tools required for the work. The banning and defaults will be scriptable and people could solve 80% of the problems with easy scripted actions (via browser extensions and such). Advertisers will have to work with anonymous details, but they will be able to precisely target people, after they solve the math involved with working with irregular data sets.

Advertising is the financial engine of the Internet and all this rage against it won’t make it disappear or behave nicely. Browser vendors need to work together and they need to do so in the same way they did it for so long: to implement open web specifications.

Advertising is just another kind of technology that the browser needs to support!

Advertising ID would be a solid base for all the freemium content to have the legitimacy required to block users who don’t provide a way in for advertisers. Once we get technology that is as safe as the Internet overall is, we can then teach people how to use it, and shut out sociopathic behaviour of money crazed folk to the obscure corners of forsaken random domain names.

The Better Ads Standards is just talk. We need tech that supports it and it should be a browser implementation of an open standard with an Advertising ID API. People will flock to the best support of a good standard. Everybody wins and competition stays healthy.

It is illogical to rip off the internet of it’s best lucrative asset: the capacity to target advertising with great precision. It is dangerous that for the same reason should the Internet become the looking glass of Big Brother. And the tech to stop this from happening, while maintaining money flow for Internet growth is easily achievable.

Do you thing an Advertising Standard with an Advertising ID API would make the Internet better?

I think the comment was about competing foundries, which are mostly using their leading-edge processes to manufacture chips that aren't going head to head with Intel's desktop and server CPUs. Instead, they're making smartphone SoCs and GPUs.
Some numbers:

"The services of the Helsinki City Library are offered by 37 libraries, two mobile libraries, and a home library service for hospitals and care centres. The City Library has a staff of 450 people." https://www.hel.fi/kulttuurin-ja-vapaa-ajan-toimiala/en/abou...

There are approximately 6.2 million library visits and 106,500 opening hours yearly (so 58 visits per hour per library): http://dev.hel.fi/paatokset/asia/hel-2017-000648/

The typical visit lasts from 5 to 15 minutes (so 10 customers present on average per library): http://www.helmet.fi/fi-FI/Tapahtumat_ja_vinkit/Uutispalat/M...
You're unlikely to be storing only (IP, timestamp) data though. Presumably there's some additional info attached to those records that makes it useful for something.

A web access-log records (ts, ip, request, ...), or maybe your application log stores (ts, ip, action, params, ...)

So the information from that single source is "at time T, IP accessed RESOURCE".

It's possible that's personally identifiable in context (if you have additional controls that RESOURCE can only be accessed by exactly 1 real person, etc)

But say it's not. All you know is: Opaque PERSON accessed RESOURCE.

if you can obtain the identifying information from elsewhere (buy, steal, etc) from ISP or whatever, you now know that (T, IP) = NAMEDPERSON.

A simple lookup/matching means you know that NAMEDPERSON accessed RESOURCE. That's the new personal data.

The IP isn't irrelevant, because without it, you'd have no lookup key to determine the mapping from PERSON? to NAMEDPERSON.
It appears to not support always on display and according to the issues in github it is a complex problem that won't be solved soon.

I'm pretty sure the set of people who (i) know about and (ii) are neutrally disposed towards most of the political figures highlighted here is an empty one (maybe one can feel neutral towards Kamm, whose foreign policy views in the early 2000s were very wrong but I've never felt to have behaved in a particularly loathsome manner). And it's perfectly possible to contribute in a dispassionate manner about people and organizations you fundamentally dislike, as funnily enough the diff of the MediaLens article linked in the OP appears to offer evidence for...

Traditionally, Wikipedia's approach to "unfair edits" is to make a case for their reverting on the talk page, not to offer rewards for doxxing the responsible editors, launch campaign websites against them and blog about how it's likely he's part of '"cyber-war” ops aiming to defend the “official” narrative against alternative news media' and Jimmy Wales is implicated too...

I could insinuate that "fivefilters" must surely be part of some shadowy organization coordinating to release information hostile to Philip Cross, but I live in the real world where sometimes people have common political views and wish to share their take on things they read online...)
It's kinda correct though. Not all Left is such, but the problem is Left is tolerating people with such ideas as long as they are Left.

Edit: for all the downvoters, explain why Left tolerates Stalinists or USSR apologists in their ranks. Recently the Left seem to have a problem with antisemitism on some countries too.
Are there stats on Android Wear watches sold vs currently activated/in-use?

I've found them to be such poor experiences and falling so far short of expectations/hopes/marketing that I went back to using G-Shock. I would be surprised to learn people find their smart watches useful and are still actively using them for anything more than just telling the time (for which they are a chore to constantly charge).
You would have to run non-sandboxed features via a server, which can run on the user machine! Chrome, Firefox, Opera, IE, Edge supports starting the browser in "chrome"-less or "app" mode, so the program will feel native. You could also run the server part in the cloud! And use "add to desktop" to get the "chrome"-less mode which is currently supported on Chrome and Firefox on Android. Or just run the app in a browser tab :)

Indeed. I've gone to the state library specifically to investigate accounts of Australian indigenous contact and anthropology.

Going through the books on the shelves there, its astounding just how much information exists that is not online at all, not even discounting that which is online but otherwise not freely available and ordered.
Every nation has to trust the country with nukes that they won't invade or destroy them. If you were Iran, would you trust the US not to try to invade or topple your country?

Iran isn't alone with the rhetoric of 'destroy your enemies'. North Korea and the US sell the same story, just the enemy changes. Whether the enemy is Israel, the US, or the arbitrary definition of a terrorist, the sell is ultimately a strategy to sustain support for military spending. It's hard to defend vast military spending when you have a poverty problem in your country - unless you can say you have enemies to defend against.
I strongly dislike the phrase “common sense”. I have yet to encounter even one example of “common sense” which accurately represents the world.

“Things fall when you let go of them” «Except flying things, things already on the ground, and probably other examples too.» “But that’s not what I meant, it’s common sense that’s not what I meant.” «Then it’s a tautology, things that fall when you let go of them, fall when you let go of them. The real rule (or rather, good enough at our scale) is Newtonian mechanics.»

Or similar conversations about being in two places at once.

When it comes to cats, what does common sense tell you — What cats do? How cats respond to things? How they interact physically with their environment? That’s all statistically learnable.
Just wanted to report back that I had a chat with my mother a few minutes ago, mentioning the article, and she'd already seen it on TV, and said she'd always felt the excercise craze is overrated (not joking). That's her conclusion, her entire summary of this news item. She'd never come across the original article.

AGPL would be a restriction if you need to deploy this model on top of PlaidML in production. It is still very useful during the training time after which the neural network can be offloaded into production framework such as tensorflow.

I wear a Huawei watch, although not daily, I tend to switch between my 'real' mechanic watch and the smart watch. I use it mainly to tell the time, but I do use it to control my music, or quickly look at an incoming message. I think the best 'feature' of a smart watch is being able to tell the time in low light environments.

I do see a lot of them around here (Netherlands), but I do agree that the novelty has worn off.
The bankruptcy would remain on their credit report for seven years (affecting their ability to buy a house, rent an apartment, or perhaps even get a job), so it's not at all correct that they have "nothing to lose".
I’ve written about it before, but AIM until the very end showed my friend who died six years ago as logged in on his dumb phone because his phone never sent an explicit logout signal.

I'm really not sure where you're going with all this.

We haven't offered rewards for doxxing anyone. We've written an article highlighting a problem with a particular editor's behaviour on Wikipedia where he has a conflict of interest and Wikipedia is refusing to act. You seem to be talking about anything and everything except this.
I live in mid sized Finnish city with about 60 000 people (Seinäjoki) and library (built ~10 years ago) is one of those things you never hear people talking bad about.

If I remember correctly our library served as an example when designing Oodi library in Helsinki since it portraits a "new library style" municipalities are reaching for.

The goal was to get people to stay there instead of just fetching the article they were looking for. I think they achieved this since no matter when you visit the place is backed with teens reading and discussing about some manga or comics, elderly reading newspapers from around the country, poetry reading groups and so on.

Since I mainly consume my literature via outlets like HN, I use the library primarily to get books for my young kids. Even those facilities are great, there is a play area with tunnels and holes in the walls where kids can read in solitude, isolated reading "enclosures" where groups of kids can flock to when some adult reads for them and lots of other neat details. They even film some kid shows in there and the last time I visited I found out they have a good catalogue of new console games you could borrow!

This might have sounded like an advertisement but the point I was trying to make is that if someone would ask me what is the best thing our city has accomplished with our tax money, my answer would be "our library". And as everything is digital nowadays, making an effort to get people off their phones to socialize and use narrative in its original form doesn't hurt either.
I agree. Let me add another item to the author's list:

7. Most problems have no solution. Doing undergraduate mathematics you can always be sure that every question is well posed and has an answer somewhere. Once you start doing research, this is not the case at all. Problems without solutions are so prevalent, that asking the right question becomes the interesting thing, not the finding of the answer.
Intel produces 10nm mobile CPUs which corresponds to 7nm process of other manufacturers. And their 14nm desktop or server CPUs are still the best ones (in terms of pure performance). I'm sure that they are working on next generation CPUs. I don't see them being behind.
Both can be true. After all, humans are a contradictory mess.

> Shame that most Wear OS watches don't come with pins for USB access.

I thought I was out of luck with my moto360 1st gen, but I found this : https://www.rootjunky.com/moto-360-adapter-usb-cable/

Basically, there is usb connection on that watch, it's just hidden and made difficult to use.

Which makes me think : maybe it's the same for other apparently usb lacking watches? I can imagine manufacturers' developers would want a mean to debug devices out of factory.

My schedule in the undiagnosed celiac days was to get up, and only drink coffee instead of breakfast since food made me intensely exhausted. Then I had good productivity until lunch. After lunch it was a tossup whether I’d be basically okay, a little slowed down, feeling like a nap, or incredibly exhausted and feeling like I was dying. At some point I found that drinking only alcohol for lunch left me feeling less horrible than food, on average, and that was puzzling, somewhat convenient and not helpful.

Work gatherings based around food are a huge problem, now and then, in several ways. For various reasons, I always got felt sick after eating at restaurants.
I don’t think I am making that mistake.

What I read in that article was something like: “I made some bad decisions about financing, but the wider system is a problem for the following reasons.”

You’re right that from a technical point of view nothing was done wrong. A college student signed up to a loan, agreed to the terms, and was subsequently shocked by the extent to which it was difficult to pay it off. I disagree that she’s asking to be “let off the hook” but is instead using her case to highlight the wider problems in this system.

There are wider-ranging options than banning loans or restricting them to older people. Making college more affordable, or regulating interest rates, or providing a government-backed system for college funding are all alternatives.

At some point, if a huge number of people are struggling with a system, it’s reasonable to ask how it can be reformed - because this isn’t an isolated case. The focus on individual decisions risks missing out on a discussion about how that wider problem can be solved - that students feel the need to get into this debt in the first place.
But then peer to peer is not always a good thing. Often times finding a peer is a big issue. An example is AirBnb. There were people on both sides who required this service. But it actually took a centralised service to actually get it working.
As anyone who's been near a film set will tell you, capturing good quality audio in a busy environment is virtually impossible. You'll never get good sound using today's technology in a form like Clips, so that it doesn't really matter that it doesn't record it. Just dub some music or commentary over the top later.
Don't forget that the elementary math learned by the billions was ince new and exiting. The proofs are simple enough to stay implicit, but the learning process is creative discovery. Because you need to see applicability of what is learned, in order to remember it. Consequently, many don't even successfully learn about maths. Insofar you are right, but wrong and elitist to generalize.
Yeah. I use that regularly on my laptops and desktops. No idea how to do it on mobile phones though, which is what is being discussed here.

The implied patent grant is also present in BSD and MIT. At least that was the consensus in the Facebook licensing issue:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9113515

The reason I've always seen about companies not liking the GPL is that they want to be able to make closed source versions of software. If there was some risk that once you submit code to a GPL project you've donated all your patents to the world it would be a risk with BSD and MIT licensing as well.

What I saw in that episode was people being assholes to each other, the fact that they also happened to have a tool to prove things wasn't really the major factor. Especially the final point was a bit off to me, sure, it happens that we would be happier not knowing specific things, but being unsure about things can be pretty terrible as well and just as well destroy life.

We don't expect people to show us their diaries, we don't expect people to retell their awkward memories. We even generally try to gauge the situation before retelling a story about a friend (maybe their embarrassing blackout last weekend is not what we talk about with their boss). This is all in the social rules and conventions, and doesn't have to do with limitations in our ability to do so.

We already have the technology to record all digital communication. Seems like most people can handle this just fine.
It is more that the higher you start the more your cognition can decline before you have symptoms that are bad enough to be diagnosed. If you started out with a youthful g of 150 and you declined to 100 then no doctor would even notice, but if you started at 75 then a decline to 65 will be catastrophic.

The problem is that deep learning is not powered by an intelligent system able to suggest a way to control and filter input data. Today humans are the ones that filter and decide which loss function to use, and in order to achieve GAI deep learning must be provided with a meta-deep learning framework able to filter and adjust the loss function. Perhaps a feed-back network trying to evolve from a small model to a more general one using some kind of generative grammar for filtering and controling the input. A transfer knowledge graph powered by deep learning that select a generative grammar for designing the most valuable filtering and objective function to produce a deep learning system that learn by itself.
