While it is technically correct that ad networks don't sell personal data, it is also irrelevant. It's not the bits that matter, it's what one does informed by the bits. Ad networks sell _actionable insights_ informed by personal data.

An ad network answers the question 'what is the best way to spend $$$ and win this election' _using_ personal data of millions of people, but not _revealing_ the personal data to the paying customer. The paying customer is highly unlikely to have the technical acumen to turn personal data into actionable insights anyways, service readily provided by the ad network. The fact that personal data was not revealed is irrelevant, the end effect was bought by anyways.

The evil is in collecting personal data to begin with, not in the technical manner it is used against the people it belongs to.
It's the same with Apple store apps - I've bought Rayman 2 and Tony Hawk Pro Skater 2 on my iPod touch years ago, and while these games are in my purchase history, there is no way to download them - there is no download button. So I've paid money for something that I can't get anymore. However, if I still had that iPod I'm sure they would still work.

Keen.io (aka ScaleWorks) raised our prices by 5x with just 30 days notice
We were an early adopter of keen.io (YC days) and were loyal customers for several years paying around $300/month for their data storage and explorer services.

Then, out of the blue earlier this summer, we got an email informing us that Keen was changing their pricing model, in 30 days, and our new price would be 5 times higher (approx. $1500/month) effective on our next bill.

So... We reached out to see what the deal was and if they were willing to negotiate?... Negative! They've decided it would be a better business practice to stab their longtime existing customers in the back! :-/

That's all I've got... Be weary of ScaleWorks and/or Keen.io people!
No, they're making themselves feel righteous, at very little gain to the minorities they're ostensibly protecting. I'm Slavic.

https://examine.com/nutrition/how-much-protein-can-i-eat-in-...

That being said, since fecal losses of protein and short-chain peptides tend to smell incredibly bad one can use a 'sniff-test' after bowel movements to assess if protein is being lost in the feces and thus not taken up by either the intestines or the muscle.

For a while I really tried to eat as much protein as I could, to see whether I could make the higher end of the recommendations. After a certain point, I could immediately tell I was failing the sniff test, and so could my family :-). At the amount I'm eating, I'm not.

It certainly is not "the French". It's the "French Republic". Local dialects lived happily in France for over a Millennia under the Monarchy. The French dialect, mostly spoken in the Jacobin circles in Paris, was imposed by the revolutionaries as a mean to achieve "equality".
I wonder if that ECG feature might change the market perception of the device - maybe that was the intent. With the ECG and slip and fall detection, I sort of thought it makes the Apple Watch sound like the most consumer medical alert bracelet ever.

I believe that without proper financial aid, it may not be possible for everyone to pursue further education.

It's possible to do this, in fact, this is what I did; however, there is a lot more to a college degree than just the loans. You still need to be able to afford college living, food, expenses, etc., and anything which is not covered by loans each semester (which sometimes can be put on a private loan if you're fortunate enough to be able to get someone to cosign for you). I worked all throughout college and still barely made the cut. I had to stop going one year due to financial pressure but was fortunate enough to be hired for a paid co-op internship. This allowed me to save more and continue/finish my degree.

Just offering my perspective, you may or may not already see this.

Can I ask what the amount of money that can be made has to do with this? First of all: they make a case against a particular type of advertising, not all of them. While I honestly believe an argument can be made against any type of advertisement, that's not what they're doing. Second: if an industry is based on immoral practices, what do we care if they make a lot of money? It's like saying "we should not go against slavery, it's a $X billions industry". If they make the money by using data the users did not know they were giving, then I don't care how much money they make: they should not be making it.

My grand father only spoke Occitan until he was 7 years old and went to school. My father can still speak the language fluently, although he lacks practice.

That said, 1/ Occitan is a lot like Spanish (unlike, say, Breton or Basque which are very far from Latin (or French)) and 2/ most people were bilingual speakers of French + regional language at least as early as the middle of the 19th century. It is true that France fought aggressively to suppress local languages, but almost everyone understood French anyway.
I see. Well in that case it seems like Tesla can just wait for a strike, hire more workers to replace the ones who are striking while keeping the strikers on the books without pay, and then if the strikers ask for their shifts back, just phase them in, while also doing rolling layoffs to get rid of unnecessary workers (strikers or new hires depending on who has the lowest performance).

Then unions could defeat this by doing rhythmic striking, but I think Tesla might be in their rights to fire a worker who is repeatedly striking in a systematic way to interfere with Tesla’s hiring.

Everyone suspected it for a while. Their active Twitter account refused for months to say when the app would be updated for the iPhone X.

Personally, I suspect that they painted themselves into a bit of a corner with the tech stack they choose for Inbox. They used a unique C++ to JS compiler to run Inbox in the browser. This worked decently well in Chrome, but the experience in other browsers has been a lot choppier. It's possible the same codebase was also compiled to iOS and this is what caused the very long delay in updating for the iPhone X.

I'm sad to see it go. The UX in the official Gmail app isn't quite as good. The bundle workflow they developed for working through your inbox is something I haven't seen elsewhere.
At that scale, I imagine the speed of electricity is a significant issue limiting clock speed.

It would take light about 956 nanoseconds to travel the 940 feet across that theoretical CPU. Assuming that was the limiting factor in your clock speed, that would cap it at 1.05 Mhz.

Obviously, it's going to be far more complex than that, but I'd be really surprised if they could get the clock any faster than that.
Agreed. Apple is wrong if in the agreement there was no mention of the fact that Apple did not own the thing they were selling and that if the real owner chose to remove it from Apple someday then it would also be removed from the buyer. I'm assuming that would basically be fraud though and as such is not what's happening here. I'm assuming that the inability of Apple to provide access forever was spelled out up front. And I get that buyer's expectation does not match those terms of the agreement. But I'm not seeing any injustice. Maybe a lesson in buyer beware, but not any wrongdoing.
It's frustrating that the word 'purchase' is used for this kind of transaction. Like 'unlimited', it's use is fundamentally dishonest and vendors get away with it because everyone knows they lie.

It's a joke. The books are called The Berenstain Bears. Because surnames ending in -stain are extremely rare and surnames ending in -stein are fairly common, a lot of people misremember them as The Berenstein Bears.

This has spawned numerous conspiracy theories about the name changing. There is a group of people who seriously believe they've somehow travelled into a parallel universe where the only difference is that a children's book series is named differently. This theory is often referred to as "the Mandela Effect", which is named after how a lot of people mistakenly remember hearing about Nelson Mandela dying years before he actually did (and yes, these people claim that they've accidentally travelled to a parallel universe where the only difference is that Nelson Mandela lived another 15 years). The theory sounds like a joke, but its proponents take it dead seriously, and they've been known to start flamewars over it.

As such, a lot of people like to make fun of these conspiracy theories by concocting the most ludicrous theories we can think of.

> Purchasing the right to see a movie, [...] will never be the same as holding a physical copy.

If I buy a game on Steam, I can download it in perpetuity. Even if the game is later taken off Steam, I can still download my copy. Technically the contract only gives me a revocable license, but in practise it behaves in every way like a purchase of a physical copy. It reliably does what people expect, and in return everyone uses Steam instead of physical media.

If the media industry doesn't allow this model, I am not sure how they expect digital purchases and streaming to replace physical media and piracy.

Well, hate speech is not about offending people... It's about inciting violence. A good example would be a nazi or ISIS leader publishing a video calling on their followers to attack, say, Jews, homosexuals and journalists. Hate speech laws exist to forbid such communications, because they are likely to result in violence against others. Of course there are many cases which are less clear cut than my example, where it's debatable (and hotly debated) how much violence is actually caused... but that's very different from debating "offense" or "misunderstandings", which have nothing to do with hate speech laws.
