My post clearly say "80+%" not "to 0".

There is no need to lie or put words in my mouth, you can see the actual statement on your screen just a couple inches above this one.

It is incredibly suspicious that you would accuse others of losing nuance and over-simplifying after doing so.
Really?

I don't give a damn that my data is anonymized, aggregated, and sold to some asshole on Wall Street, who uses it to make a stock trade. Even if it's not anonymized well, this is not a physical threat to my safety, because the people buying the data don't care about me. I'm not special. And they don't care about hurting me - they just want to make stock trades.

I mean, I care about this sort of thing - but I care only a little.

I sure as hell care that someone might be using the information on my phone to physically stalk me, in particular. The latter is an active threat to my life and limb.
I wasted more time than I care to think reading that article.

Kyler Murray's rookie contract is for $35,158,645. You're talking about the league minimum rookie contract. The veteran minimum is higher than the rookie minimum but there is no prohibition on paying rookies more.
I don't think it's the best way to make money, but this may be the most important topic for our near future as a species. Emphasis: not just civilization(s) but species as a whole, as in rewiring perception, brain functions, social life, freedom of thought.

Here's my conundrum: we could design a transparent and 100% user-controlled communication network — basically some open-sourced Twitter / Facebook / Whatsapp / Instagram etc. — which would let people control their feed order of priorities, implement 'psychologically sane' features, prove that it's objectively better for mental health and a slew of other things (politics, media come to mind) through studies, even distribute resources so as to bypass a need for massive funding — just consider how much time the average consumer CPU spends idling over its lifetime, there's loads of free resources available.

But ultimately we face the same issue as for-profits: friction. How do we get 2.5 billion people to move when none has moved already — chicken-and-the-egg problem of “but all my friends...”

I may be low-balling humanity but I think it'll take PR momentum, textbook buzz — support by famous people, icons, thought leaders, influencers, etc at a massive scale. Ideally governments would be on board and even subsidize such a neutral network in the name of protecting citizens and their rights.

Is it challenging, herculean, foolish, or simply impossible an endeavor? Wish I knew. But I'll sure die trying —hopefully of other unrelated causes, eh.

Yours is a legitimate concern, but a separate issue.

Stalking can present real, immediate, and severe consequences to the target(s).
My daughter should not be treated under the law as 'my genetic material'. Firstly, she is not just my genetic material, she is her mothers too. Secondly, she has her own genetic makeup being the product of two people. Thirdly, as a result of her conception and the fact that she is different genetically from both her mother and father and the fact that her interests as a living thing are not identical to her mother and fathers, she is actually a separate person, and thus my property rights over my DNA (if they exist) certainly ought not to affect how the law treats her best interests as a minor. Due to virtue of having separate interests, the law should primarily focus on her interests, and in certain cases, it would be appropriate to subsume my interests as her father (or her mother's interests) in order to best serve hers. This is not a novel application of law. The law exists in part to protect those who cannot speak for themselves, people such as minor children and the disabled. In these cases, the law infers their interests.

The same can be said of the children in question, who are not simply the property of the female lawyer. Although they share her DNA, simply sharing DNA does not give her the right to do with them as she pleases, just as my mother does not have rights over me (and neither does my father of course). Under this framework, no one is telling the lawyer what to do with her genes. They are telling her how she is to interact with other people, who in this case, happen to be her children and the children of whichever men fathered them.
While it's true that your VPN provider _may_ be lying about their "no logging" policy, at a minimum, you get additional layers of protection. Your source IP is masked. A subpoena would be required to reveal your source IP, and perhaps your VPN provider is telling the truth about not keeping logs. If your VPN endpoint is in a different country than your network endpoint, then the legal obstacles get even higher.

Surely you shouldn't depend on that alone. Tor would be a wise additional layer of protection, if applicable. But to suggest that you get no privacy benefit at all from a VPN is like saying your host may be compromised, so you might as well use regular telnet rather than SSH.
"Service" here refers to a service in the "company" sense, not in the "system daemon" sense. Legitimate VPNs are typically run on one's own network, not outsourced to a third-party service.

Please don't take HN threads on generic ideological tangents. They always become flamewars. For an HN comment—and, by extension, thread—to be substantive on a divisive topic like this requires commenters to stay with the specifics of the article. If you toss those and replace them with nearest-big-generic-thing, discussion quality will plummet. If you do it twice, square that effect.

Kewl. There are "use cases".

>You can certainly market your knives with an intention. You can study which knives "murder" best, and not study which knives are best for cooking.

But there's also no law against selling knives designed for murdering people in many places. I mean I can walk into a store and walk out with a katana or a long sword or something. You're not supposed to use them for killing people, but that's literally the reason why they were invented. I don't want to say for sure, but I pretty sure the katana manufacturer is still not going to be liable if I go and hack someone up with my katana.
I think you are right about everything but the timescale: the current generation of kids already grew up under constant surveillance...by their parents.

When I grew up, during evenings weekends and holidays, kids ran around in the neighborhood with their friends from sunup to sundown. Outside of mealtimes, parents had no idea where we were.

A generation later and parents started to time-box everything their kids do, soccer practise, play dates etc.

I think this is what makes millenials so comfortable with online surveillance, they see it as benevolent and benign, just like their parents were.
> Teens whose parents use...

The FTC order allows them to do so. The problem was the apps are marketed to monitor employees and minors of which the installer is the legal guardian, both which are completely legal. But it was being used in some cases by customers to monitor other adults, which is not legal without consent. The company agreed to get the users to check a box saying it was being used for minors or employees, both which remain legal uses of the apps.
Picture-in-picture is possible, but it relies on SPI on macOS (for which headers happen to be in the WebKit repository, so there are third-party applications that use it already).

They commit fraud, and instead of rightly being sent to jail, they just promise not to do it again? And instead of this being some kind of joke, it's a common result for corporations.
But it had a really thin OS layer, and everybody had virtually exactly the same box, so you could micro-optimize to the exact architecture. IMO it does fit the concept of "domain specific stack", it's just that homogeneity is one of the important properties of the stack instead of unbridled performance.

I don't understand why people insist on making these analogies when it's quite clear and simple what the issues are / can be with the sorts of apps under discussion here today.
Depends upon your country.

Countries with significant lake hydroelectricity (not run-of-river) can "store" the solar power (no batteries needed) by reducing flow during the daytime (and increasing flow at nighttime if required).

This is because hydroelectric dams are essentially stores of electricity. No need for pumping or other expensive storage schemes, is your already have one!

And there's a lot of people in that state, especially after a hard day of work.
Not necessarily. If they put up a video every day then that's $1500 a month minimum. That's decent income in most countries, even in many EU ones. Now imagine if sponsor segments doubled that for you - now it's $3000 a month, which is already on the lower end of decent even in the richest countries.

It applies to websites too:

The SEC’s report of investigation confirms that Regulation FD applies to social media and other emerging means of communication used by public companies the same way it applies to company websites. The SEC issued guidance in 2008 clarifying that websites can serve as an effective means for disseminating information to investors if they’ve been made aware that’s where to look for it.

I would guess that it's because higher quality is pretty hard to achieve relative to most services. You can only offer a few things, stability, speed, perceived security and given the ease of use of the cloud, providing all three of those is relatively simple. The smattering of new VPN services are a little like altcoins in that respect. Going from perceived security to demonstrable security will require a strong demand and right now it seems ignorance is blunting that demand for individuals, where companies just roll their own servers they know they can trust and have access to.
Right, don't talk about advanced persistent threats here.

Why is it legal for your accountants to know the numbers, before they go public?

Consider the journalists publishing the information as an extension of the accounting department. Specifically, they are the part of the extended department that announces the numbers.

And yes, the SEC loves to prosecute people for suspiciously shorting stocks, right before earnings release.

My point is: using these apps to monitor people without legal consent is super not cool, obviously, but there’s an even bigger problem which is parents relying on legal-but-shady stalking apps. Parents and kids need to be able to trust each other. Surveilling your kids is not the answer. Full stop.

Yes, I agree you might think this might be a competitive advantage for someone. So I guess yes it's inconvenient that the theory doesn't appear to work, but that might mean the theory is wrong, not that the pay gap doesn't exist.

This is complicated, has been much studied, includes some controversy, and the pay gap has by all accounts narrowed considerably in the US.

But, the pay gap does exist, in the more distant past unquestionably so, and in some other countries it's greater than in others.

They are more like rice. (or a popular Chinese meal that's cheap, easy, sometimes crappy and popular?)

Movies have shifted because of the Chinese market and Chinese demands.

They are a simpler market at this stage as their culture matures. A factory worker doesn't want to come home and watch Ken Loach's 'I, Daniel Blake', they are living it.

And they need movies that transpose the cultural differences between the West and East.

Piracy also means sequels can do better than originals. Some movies sequels that tank in the USA do better than the original in China.

In my opinion, parents have more of a right to closely monitor and track their minor children than does Google, the US government, the child's school, the company supplying the child's school's tech for free, Facebook, Apple, etc. All those, by strangers, are being done as we speak with little complaint but here we have the parent monitoring their child argued as some massive privacy invasion. Yet if the parent fails to closely monitor the child and something happens to the child the parent is charged with neglect and abuse, CPS gets involved, and the child is whisked away to foster care.

>> What’s the saying, if something is free then you’re the product. True for Facebook and true for public education.

Public education is hardly free. Parents are generally required by law to educate their children. Society has generally decided to do that collectively, sharing the cost via taxes. Attendance is one tool used in enforcing the education requirement.

So, the Hill already expects "The Next War", do they? Who's going to get it this time? Or - is it Israel's next war, another invasion of one of its neighbors and a pulverization of civilians, housing and infrastructure?

The author explains how "The Israel Defense Forces ... handpicks the best and brightest graduating high schoolers ... and converts them into cyber warriors"

Yeah, great, that's just what a society needs, right? Brainwashing teenagers into supporting, and fighting, wars? And don't forget - it's conscription, not volunteer service in Israel.

The author then goes on to explain how the elite of the Israeli economy comes out of the ranks of those war-minded youths, not from civilian society; and how perpetual war is also reinforced by a continuing close bond between the military and the private sector.

And this is the model Mr. Zakheim, and the Hill, suggest for future US society. To those US'ers among the readers: Please reject that sad vision.
