The linked page [1] says that Whatsapp does not share contact list with Facebook. I have a lot of anecdotal evidence which suggests otherwise, where adding new contacts would immed…

I think the Reuters news website [0] comes close to this ideal. Generally neutral reporting of facts with few, if any, embellishments. [0] https://mobile.reuters.com/

Argo is majority owned by ford and also partnered up with VW

Yep, to the extent that I’m surprised Aurora is considering purchasing ATG at this point. I don’t know what they have to gain from such an acquisition - especially considering thei…

For a work laptop that only serves as an interface to a personal workstation set up in a server room, Macs are so much more enjoyable to use. No worrying about wifi drivers, being …

Plus a significantly more polished OS, which is the reason I enjoy coding on my Mac.

Any development which the British did was purely to serve their own purposes and improve the efficiency and speed of their looting the country. Why should we be grateful for that? …

Definitely so. Indian children are always taught about our glorious freedom movement in detail, glorifying leaders like Gandhi and Bhagat Singh. There are sadly still remnants of B…

I would guess it’s a matter of cost and how deep the tunnel needs to be dug.

Impose a carbon tax and watch how fast renewables, nuclear etc. become financially viable and self-sufficient. The role people have to play here is to get on to the same page so lo…

I hope not, but I expect that with a few days of browsing history it’s trivial to predict ethnicity.

This is such a ridiculously good deal for Amazon. The collection of talent alone is worth more, let alone the tech Zoox has built up which Amazon can put to so much good use starti…

Very often, it’s the phone networks which are selling our location data to these brokers. There is virtually no regulation on this, and for phone companies it’s basically free mone…

The report mentions ethnicity is inferred from browsing history, which they are also able to purchase from data brokers.

What does Apple hope to accomplish with this overreach? 1. People who really do believe in astrology are not likely to stop doing so, if anything, being marginalized is likely to m…
