This is an absolutely mind-blowing quote, thanks for sharing.

Easier to do in some places than others. Public transport is nonexistent in several places here in Texas for example - you have to have a car (or know someone who does) to get to y…

Local software != map data, necessarily.

One might begin to wonder if there's more than mere correlation between those who adopt socially conservative beliefs and those who seem unable to paint their environment in anythi…

That is actually incredibly good advice. Sounds obvious on its face, but isn't necessarily obvious in the moment.

That still leaves unanswered questions: What encoding - ASCII or Unicode? UTF-8, or UTF-16? What type of filesystem - FAT32, exFAT, ext4? What physical medium - HDD or SSD? OP's qu…

Do you have a source to cite for "the approach that the vast majority of purchasers prefer"? That seems pretty speculative. The market can be manipulated or directed by more than s…

`self`, `this`, `$1`, etc. are also fun to sprinkle in there.

"Expected" != "Acceptable" though, IMHO.

They then hired the guy creating those exploit chains.

While this is correct, surveillance in the physical call center wasn't physically taking place in these people's homes , which IMHO is the critical difference.

Having worked in a call center myself at one point, I'd say the primary difference is the directly-customer-facing nature of that work. When a call comes in (and there are often a …

You could use grep with vim or nano for quick searches and viewing without even leaving your terminal. Why bother with a GUI at all for that use case?

Unless they have a carefully-worded Terms of Service and Privacy Policy.

This is already happening, only it's the credit card company doing the tracking and not to grocery store.

Useful as well to overreaching governments and law enforcement. Certainly not the type of thing you could legally inform your customers of, either.
