Viewing profile — fabulist

Maybe it's more interesting to ask, "why are penises so aerodynamic?"

Why not both?

Excellent point, I should've thought of that.

That seems to say Google won't share your Analytics data without making any guarantee that they won't _use_ your analytics data.

While I feel we should all treat Google with skepticism here, I didn't realize they (and so failed to acknowledge) that Homebrew was attempting to remedy that, so I apologize for s…

Add a feature where users can opt-in for periodic reports to be uploaded as a private gist, and a link is transmitted to you. GitHub is already a trusted party where Homebrew is co…

"We use the information we collect from all of our services to provide, maintain, protect and improve them, to develop new ones, and to protect Google and our users. We also use th…

Collecting telemetry is reasonably, but it seems inappropriate for Google to get a copy and to be able to identify which of their users installed a particular piece of software fro…

What about the people whom Theranos failed to deliver accurate test results to? They are the losers here.

Normally I would agree with you, I often chide people for inventing problems to solve. But it is a little different when it isn't a hypothetical as much as an inevitable future occ…

We will always have to worry about intelligent, motivated people who wish to do us harm. Isn't that enough to worry about without being vulnerable to careless people, behaving unin…

Aren't they trained to judge size and distance by eye, though?

The fingerprinting could be done server side. Their legal team could force browser vendors not to carry ABP or uBlock in the add-on stores, and GitHub to take down the repositories…

I think the geofencing has the same value as a door lock; it keeps the honest people honest.

I meant more, "if they ran a marketing campaign."

I don't see this as cheating, but we're talking about the company who convinced people "Rose Gold" was cool. If they told their customers it would be super for them to bring old iD…

This is not a sound security strategy.

I think the issue is that Amazon has access to their sales numbers. Normally a competitor would have to put in work to infer your sales numbers from, say, an incrementing identifie…
