That's correct. Even under CCPA analysis of anonymous aggregate data is consisted a legitimate use and not really a risk to PII.

Yes, a total horror. Infrastructure destroyed, little to no shelter, no food, no water. An unspeakable abomination obscured only by by naked propaganda. I don't even know what to say anymore.

I would imagine that being carpet bombed is not helping. The UNOCHA estimate is 23k dead. That's about 4% of the population. Asa a percentage that's higher that WWII in Europe. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_War_II_casualties#:~:tex....

Comically, when I google hackernews or even "Hacker News" I often get the other Hacker news first.

Finding my preferred UI https://hckrnews.com/ that's not even in the first page of results. Rajat's version https://hckrnws.com/... nowhere to be seen.

Google is becoming a mediocre phone book.

I've paid for manual transcription before. It's not that expensive. Technical solutions are cool, but that option is available today.

They paid a 100M settlement. Pretty sure that's not a charitable donation.

"both are right" is the softest, most useless takeaway they could have.

I've been using Firefox since about 2008. I've never had a problem that switching to Chrome fixed, and only encountered a few old clunky sites and apps that were IE specific. Those sites are so old they're looking for the wrong user agent and don't work correctly in Edge either.

Paying for water when you are poor is a threat to life and livelihood that's dystopian. This is the nature of dystopia, it mostly affects the impoverished.

That's an interesting but highly distressing paradigm.

Storing minors biometric data forever is pretty clearly evil. There really shouldn't be a debate here. Yet some businesses are out there monetizing evil.

the fact that the problem is resolvable OTA is a feature of Tesla, a positive. Another make with the same issue might require a visit to the dealership. The problem is the same. Debating semantics beyond that is without merit.

This is consistent with the original decision. LTD Broadband, another big 2020 recipient is no longer eligible. https://www.fcc.gov/document/fcc-rejects-ltd-broadband-starl...

I think IBM still uses stacked ranking for employee reviews. Goodyear and Microsoft have settled lawsuits because it's been shown to be discriminate against minorities. https://www.shrm.org/hr-today/news/hr-magazine/pages/0603bat...

My former employer does a layoff pretty reliably in early December every year. The optics are always poor even if their rationale is sound.

There are challenges inherent in creating a set of visual symbols to communicate. We have crossed that bridge before and we call them "words".

I wish designers might fall back on that more for ease of use instead of creating generation after generation of arcane, fleetingly extant symbols.

There is no retcon possible from a TOS update. They're a soft target for a class action lawsuit right now and they know it.

This is well documented and even acknowledged by the US government. https://waysandmeans.house.gov/2-5-million-uncounted-unemplo... https://www.forbes.com/sites/chriswestfall/2020/05/08/the-un...

I think from a data privacy perspective it's totally appropriate content.

True. However, their abdication of responsibility is indicative of a lack of a security culture. It's hard to say that they were more or less negligent than Equifax, but both data sets should have been Highly secure.

It's also interesting that outside of the US their lack of security would open them to criminal liabilities under GDPR.
