Fair point on the screenshot. Yea I dont think any TV is phoning home with screenshots. Rather it's phoning home with a processed signal of the A/V in order to ID that A/V. If ther…

"They are spying on millions of people" If you consider tracking an anonymous identifier for the purposes of better marketing "spying" then I think that's a stretch. Calling out TV…

Not for attribution. It’s for exposure. If Pepsi buys $1M in ads on NBC, it only knows the DMA and time slot/programs it bought the ads on. It doesn’t know the households it bought…

It’s called ACR data and it’s very common. And yes, TVs are phoning home with it. And GDPR only requires that you opt in. So when you sign into the TV for the first time, it gives …

It tickles me that photography is noted as a worthwhile skill. I don’t disagree. Photography to me is meditation. I get to wander around and find things pleasing to the eye. Nothin…

I find it funnier the outrage of those who can’t bear to think of their dog’s love as contingent upon food. “But I need unconditional love from my pet!”

Can't wait until it gets to Frieza's level

You've got to be more specific. I've lived in NYC for almost a decade and I think the power went out 3 times and that's always been due to a hurricane. Power cuts are not something…

The more interesting fact is that if Tim Cook were to pay more taxes, he'd be fired by his shareholders. CEO's of public companies are supposed to increase profitability, not decre…

What I find most fascinating is that we look to others to change principally before ourselves. Invariably when there is terrible news such as this, people will discuss the 'deniers…

Please explain how it is irrelevant. If you cease paying attention to FB, then your deceased loved ones no longer continue this "digital life" as the article puts it.

I think the last quote of the article is telling: "The truth," writes Borges, "is that we all live by leaving behind." Honestly, why can't we all heed this advice and just leave Fa…

Ha. I got -4 points for this. Can't people take a joke?

This needs more upvotes..

I usually confuse RuPaul with Pope Paul II

HURRY UP AND BUY!

I would take more life risks in my early 20's like traveling/living in different places. In my late twenties I would take more business risks - creating apps/companies that are see…

Guess we'll never know. Too bad too. The headline had potential!

> "And as he compares Google to 1800s colonialism, he is making a _complete_ mockery of history. Are you freaking serious? Free Internet offered on balloons is equivalent to EIC-st…

Was this generated by a machine automatically to help increase your SEO marketing? "Having worked at a startup that kept adding more features, I can tell you this approach doesn’t …

"I don't know why he keeps bringing up "White People" conquering nations, or "The White Dude who lives in a Cloud and watches over Us" , or any of the other disparaging remarks. Wh…

What a terribly misleading title. Yes, self-driving cars are getting into accidents. No they are not the cause of those accidents. Whats the story here?

"constantly disparage audience members for being white or religious.." Hyperbole much? He may have been disparaging of religions (once in the talk, mind you) but never white people…
