Sodium is already a thing (e.g. Natron Energy), but something from high school chemistry that might have stuck is that as you move further down that column, the metals become more (and dangerously so) reactive.
I do take correctness issues very seriously, and I will get frosty or genuinely angry if they're being ignored or brushed aside.
Sounds like he would fit in perfectly with the OpenBSD crew. Whether or not they're interested in natively using/supporting another filesystem beyond FFS2, though, is a valid question.
Of course I do, but as with all advertising, it's a never-ending game of whack-a-mole when it comes to black-holing their servers.
There's all this hand-wringing over the collection and sale of personal data, but I really have to wonder if there's any point to it. I couldn't tell you the last time advertising affected my decision to purchase (or not) any particular product or service. It doesn't matter how many ads Levi's throws on my browser when I already know I'll be picking up my next pair of jeans at Costco, nor Sony when I'm not even interested in a gaming console, nor anybody else. Google reads my email and knows I'm registered for a coaching clinic? More power to them... good luck getting me to register for that second clinic six months from now halfway across the country, 'cause no matter how many times they shill it, my budget's not going to allow it. My purchasing either goes through a programmatic decision tree (i want a compact car with minimum t mpg and features r, s, and x... these are the models which satisfy, go test drive), or are literally "I have the munchies for chocolate crunchies, and Butterfinger has never failed me."
What I'm far more annoyed about is how many times I've had to cancel credit cards because of PoS exploits or frozen my credit reports because my SSN was breached, and the companies involved suffered zero repercussions for it.
Most don't, and I once told a Spectrum phone agent that she would either complete my order without my SSN, or I would cancel the request completely (she relented). But Fidelity, by dint of being a major financial brokerage/agent with tax reporting requirements to the IRS, does.
ISPs behaving badly, but wouldn't being regulated under Title II, same as a phone company, make them immune to this sort of thing? Of course, they don't want Title II, so why give them the benefits of it?
Why does everyone need an app when a web site is perfectly fine?
Because an app lets them track and monitize you far more easily than web cookies, and survives across device replacement.
This FUD has been used since the early days of the Prius. Still have yet to meet anyone who had to replace their hybrid or EV battery because it wore out.
Hello there, glad to meet you. 2006 Civic Hybrid owner here, and I had the original NiMH battery give out at the 9 year, 109k mile mark. The replacement battery is clearly showing signs of deterioration at the 17 year, 218k mile point. With my current driving habits, I expect it'll throw a P0A7F code around this time next year, maybe a little sooner.
Sounds like you've already got a lawyer of your own, good. Now tell your lawyer that (s)he needs to threaten a SLAPP (https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fen.wikipedia.org%2Fwiki%2FStrategic_lawsuit_against_public_participation) suit against Amazon if they don't bugger off.
So it's probably coming from things like baby registries and purchase data
That's exactly where it's coming from... cribs and strollers, breast pumps and diapers, even just browsing that stuff on Amazon creates data which is logged, collated, parsed, and sold. What's more, you don't even have to have a registry to be tagged as being pregnant, as this teen and her dad found out several years back: https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.nytimes.com%2F2012%2F0...
Performing the study in-house and publishing is the first step in getting those independently verified results. Asking for independent verification before publishing your own data is putting the cart before the horse.
Why does it have to be advertising (which means surveillance and irritation)?
Why would it have to include surveillance? On the user side, put a couple of tick boxes in the user settings that say "I want only these categories of adverts, choose three minimum." On the advertiser side, put "I want to reach people who picked these options." There's no need for the advertisers to know *who* chose to see that particular category, only that Telegram routes it to people who said "I"m OK with seeing this type of stuff."
I couldn't decide how to spend my mod points... +1 informative, or -1 Flamebait... the latter because it's not neo-liberal capitalists, it's neo-conservatives who believe in a "job creator" class.
As I understand it, the Swiss already have this sort of system in place. It should think it works well at the city/provincial level, and maybe even the national level for smaller countries like them, but it would probably be an unwieldy mess for larger or more populous nations.
