I agree that we need younger people in these positions. We need those more in touch with what the average person is going through these days.
However, I disagree that we should set a hard age limit. If anything have them take some sort of cognitive exam every few years once they hit a certain age.
Probably going to try to do the same thing to this bill that was done to the NY Right to Repair bill: Gavin Newsom will alter the bill slightly just before signing it that leaves a big gaping loophole for companies like Apple.
For some reason, journalists (or their editor) seem to hate linking to actual sources. But at least the article helps point you in the right direction for keywords to look out for with each manufacturer.
Edit: The link is there on the second sentence. I just missed it.
If you’re frustrated with Firefox you could give Brave Browser a try. The devs forked off of Chromium and removed all of the tracking that Google wants in there. It comes pre-loaded with all of the Ad-blocking features I use in Firefox as well, so no extensions needed for that. Also you’ll still be able to use the Chromecast feature if you really want to go in and re-enable it.
The only thing you’ll want to do is to switch the Homepage off and probably disable the icon at the top for enrolling in their ad rewards program (which handles the problems that a lot of users here have with Brave).
As former President Donald Trump dominates the Republican presidential primary, some liberal groups and legal experts contend that a rarely used clause of the Constitution prevents him from being president after the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol....
Text of the relevant section of the 14th Amendment:
Section 3.
No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any state, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any state legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any state, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability.
Based on this it looks like he was not very involved in the actual development itself, so take that into account when he talks about the “design trajectory”.
You’re being a bit too selective here. Let’s be honest, there’s a lot more to making good tasting vegan meals than just rice and beans. In general I’ve found that eating vegan is more expensive than the equivalent alternative.
If you want more people to eat vegan meals they also have to taste good, and you want to mix up your meals so you’re not eating the same thing every day.
For burger equivalents any vegan meat alternative is more expensive than a regular burger (I’m really hoping that cultured meat can help turn this around).
For meat alternatives seitan tastes awesome, but it’s way more expensive than most meat itself.
Tofu tastes great when you know how to prepare it well, and that’s going to be closer to alternative meat prices.
Egg alternatives are more expensive than eggs.
For dairy alternatives, milk alternatives are more expensive than milk itself.
Vegan butter is more expensive than regular butter. Vegan cheese is way more expensive than regular cheese (especially if you want it to actually taste good). Vegan yogurt is more expensive than regular yogurt. Vegan mayonnaise is way more expensive than regular mayo. Vegan ice cream is way more expensive than regular ice cream.
The only thing in that list that would qualify as pre-prepared food would be the ice cream.
I make my own dishes with what I listed out and the vegan alternative is almost always more expensive in comparison.
Edit: The yogurt could technically be considered pre-prepared when I eat that on its own, but I also use it to help make sauces that go with the meals.
The only thing I’ve seen recently was that some companies were upset that they were selling data (website data, not user data) for training AI models, but that’s the same legal battle that OpenAI is fighting right now with ChatGPT. We’ll have to see what the courts decide for that.
You’d half to take elevation into account. It’s 100°C at sea level. For every ~150m (500ft) you go up in elevation, you should expect the boiling temperature to be about 0.5°C less.
I used the official Reddit app for some time before switching between Apollo and Joey (depending on whether I had an iPhone at the time or an Android).
I’m sorry, but he waited 26 years to tell everyone how it’s pronounced… at this point you can go with the majority, or stick with however you want to pronounce it.
Well, then there’s also the people that don’t realize that there are all sorts of programs out there that will try to take that “anonymized” data and then tie it right back to a persons profile.
For example, you can anonymize GPS location data, but just because you strip away identifying information doesn’t mean that you’re truly anonymous. It can still be obvious where you live and where you work. And once you figure out where they live (again based on anonymous data) you can tie that information right back into their profile and continue to track them as if nothing has changed. popularmechanics.com/…/identify-individual-users-…
You sound like you know a lot more than everyone else on this subject so I thank you for your responses as a means to educate others.
Just a word of advice, be sure to treat others with respect rather than assuming the worst of their intentions or calling them idiots because they don’t know as much as you.
My response is still relevant to the conversation as we are talking about “anonymized data”. The link in my comment above proves that just because you are told your data has been “anonymized” does not truly mean that it’s impossible to re-attribute it back to an individual.
So if you trust that Apple has great techniques for data anonymization, that’s awesome, feel free to expand on that and explain why. Just don’t go around telling others that simply having any sort of anonymization technique makes it so you don’t have to worry.
Can you explain a bit more about Apple grouping their data into cohorts? I haven’t heard much about this before. For example, how would grouping data into cohorts work with GPS data?
I’ve been reading through the links you posted as well as looking through other sources. I agree Apple is definitely taking more care with how they anonymize data compared to companies such as Netflix or Strava.
In Netflix’s case they released a bunch of “anonymized data” but in just over 2 weeks some researchers were able to de-anonymize some of the data back to particular users: www.cs.utexas.edu/~shmat/netflix-faq.html
I’ve already linked Strava’s mistake with their anonymization of data in my above comment.
and tell me again why Apple isn’t serious about privacy,
I think you must have me confused with someone else, up to this point in our discussion I never said that. I do believe that Apple is serious about privacy, but that doesn’t mean they are immune to mistakes. I’m sure Netflix and Strava thought the same thing.
My whole point is that you can’t trust that it’s impossible to de-anonymize data simply because some organization removes all of what they believe to be identifying data.
GPS data is a fairly obvious one which is why I brought it up. Just because you remove all identifying info about a GPS trace doesn’t stop someone (or some program) from re-attributing that data based on the start/stop locations of those tracks.
I appreciate that Apple is taking steps and using “local differential privacy” to try to mitigate stuff like this as much as possible. However, even they admit in that document that you linked that this only makes it difficult to determine rather than making it impossible:
“Local differential privacy guarantees that it is difficult to determine whether a certain user contributed to the computation of an aggregate by adding slightly biased noise to the data that is shared with Apple.” apple.com/…/Differential_Privacy_Overview.pdf
That DigitalTrends article you linked was okay, but it was written in 2018 before Mysks’s tests.
As for your TechRadar link to Apple’s use of E2EE, that’s great, I’m glad they are using E2EE, but that’s not really relevant to our discussion about anonymizing data and risks running afoul of the #3 point you made for why you are frustrated with the majority of users in this post.
I understand it can be frustrating when people bring up random points like that, I’m assuming your comment for #3 was directed at other users on this post rather than myself. But feel free to call me out if I go too far off on a tangent.
I have tried to stick to my main point which is: just because data has been “anonymized” doesn’t mean it’s impossible to de-anonymize that data.
It’s been a while since I’ve looked up information on this subject, so thank you for contributing to this discussion.
To add on to this, the title should really end with, “than being vegetarian”, or else the title should be " Consuming animal products creates four time more greenhouse gases than being vegan,…"
It’s not really a 1 to 1 comparison if you’re comparing a meat eater with someone who doesn’t consume milk, meat, eggs, or any other animal products. You can also have meat eaters that don’t consume milk due to allergies and such.
Plus, technically speaking (with cultured meat on the rise), there could be vegans that aren’t vegetarian, as vegans could still eat cultured meat.

I worked on it for a bit, but no luck yet. It’s probably better to avoid switching to this OS if that’s a deal breaker, that or use a different call screening service.
