@profgalloway I wonder what happens to $APPL sales if something happens with Taiwan…

China's zero-Covid policy could cost #Apple $8B in sales this quarter $AAPL wsj.com/articles/apple…

@PrivacyMatters Of course once you give answers for non public domain questions, it will end up in the public domain….

Bank declines a payment from my debit card for a credit card bill. Asked to call bank. Bank puts me through security checks that ask for information that is all in the public domain .. if ya gonna demand data don't demand data in the public domain

When people claim that #AI harms have yet to materialize, here's another example for them👇

@work_matters Values used to drive value. Over the past 30+ years we have reversed the equation, going back is going to be a long hard slog.

Sigh. Evidence one of the main things MBAs learn is to exploit workers. Time for us management professors to figure out how instill rather than remove ethics. I am not trying to just blame people. We are all part of the problem, I wonder how we can be part of the solution.

@PrivacyMatters I have always wondered why policy makers don’t insist on plain language writing for privacy policies. It seems theintent of all privacy policies is to make them unreadable.

@PrivacyMatters I did read analysis a few years ago and will try and find the paper. The paper was an analysis of Nest’s privacy policy and the researchers concluded in the end to truly understand full implications the review of between 700-1000 other privacy policies would be required.

Can anyone point me to research into the readability & intelligibility of Google's privacy policy ? I'm curious (as I've never found it easy) #infocollect" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en-…

@billatnapier Agree, we should be doing the opposite and shredding any blocks to open it up completely.

I don’t tweet much and go to protests less, but something’s are too important to not take a stand. #vienna #Heldenplatz #UkraineUnderAttack

@DaveHamilton @MacGeekGab @BackBeatMedia Really good to hear this! Keep up the great work, and don’t get caught!

@michaelxshea @MacGeekGab @BackBeatMedia We don’t track our listeners, either, so there’s no risk of that being sold.

“No one will ever have your listeners’ data but us,” the CEOs of Chartable and Podsights told me. I’d seen this before. I knew time would prove them wrong. reuters.com/business/spoti…

@DaveHamilton @MacGeekGab @BackBeatMedia An offer to purchase…

@michaelxshea @MacGeekGab @BackBeatMedia What do you mean? Advertisers occasionally ask if we’ll use them, and we politely decline. Plus, iOS 15 and Monterey neuter their effectiveness anyway. No real point.

@DaveHamilton @MacGeekGab @BackBeatMedia Yes, but would you accept an offer from them?

And I’m proud we here at @MacGeekGab and all of @BackBeatMedia can say we have never once let these companies track our listeners. Letting go of privacy is a slippery slope, folks. Once you start, it’s almost impossible to climb back up that hill.

@nationaltrust Victorian flux capacitor

Our curators tell us this is a Victorian microscope, but we think you can do better. Wrong answers only please as to what this could be.

@joseamorales @brainpicker Maybe time for glasses….

@EngineersDaugh @hondanhon @m_older Is this headline for real?

@hondanhon @m_older

@hondanhon I guess I’m missing something, didn’t Dune enter the public domain this year with the expiry of its copyright?

@matthew_d_green The reality is we are already in an active cyber war and the transition to the physical space is on the verge.

We might be on the verge of a European war and experts are suggesting the first “shots fired” may involve website defacement.

@work_matters Right up there with my favorite BSBB - Bullshit Baffles Brains.

P.S. I learned a wonderful new term from this piece: "yogababble," is a first cousin to my beloved "jargon monoxide." Both are used by purveyors of bullshit to obscure the facts and to mislead and confuse people who are in their way.

Fascinating piece by @profgalloway that argues Web3 is an effort to centralize control that is cloaked in the rhetoric of decentralization. I am curious about other viewpoints, but found this piece compelling. profgalloway.com/web3/

@billatnapier And the small bag full of adapters, de-9 to db-25, male to female, male to male….

My fav ... was the 9-pin RS-232 port ... named DE-9 Serial RS232 ... I spent so long programming it ...

Without a decent fundament every structure will have difficulties to further grow. That's also the case for economies. A working digital identity infrastructure can boost the economy by up to 3 - 13 percent depending on the country.
