Does Less Consumer Tracking Lead to Less Fraud? (www.eff.org)

The highlight of the research is that Apple users were less likely to be victims of financial fraud after Apple implemented the App Tracking Transparency policy. The results showed a 10% increase in the share of Apple users in a particular ZIP code leads to roughly 3% reduction in financial fraud complaints....

LastYearsPumpkin,

Go ask highschool teachers in 1990 what they thought. It’s the same shit every generation.

LastYearsPumpkin,

Yeah, depending on what you use SSH for, the top two pictures are switched.

LastYearsPumpkin,

It’s Linus Torvalds. He invented Linux and it’s his baby. He’s doing it because it’s his legacy, and he cares.

He’s probably never not working on it 24x7x365.24

LastYearsPumpkin,

Our local garbage goes to a local landfill that’s properly maintained.

There’s a lot of problems with consumption, and plastics especially need to be phased out, but some areas do handle waste responsibly.

LastYearsPumpkin,

He used his power and position to take advantage of an intern. Maybe you should care.

Most people that make it to the level of a president have done really shitty things, while this one wasn’t at the top of the list, it’s still pretty bad. Sucks that most of the hate and jokes were pushed towards the victim instead of the perpetrator.

LastYearsPumpkin,

The original article mentioned “softcore” porn, like old school cinemax movies where it’s porn, but thinly veiled into an actual movie.

Not like hardcore 10 minute porn movies, just semi-skeevy smut that you’d rather not have other people know you’re watching. (50 shades?)

LastYearsPumpkin,

A backup is an emergency protection, not a primary plan. This attitude is dangerously close to making the backup a critical part of their uptime.

LastYearsPumpkin,

How many users are there?

Is there a chance that the computer will boot without access to the NAS (aside from failure conditions).

Are you doing anything with ownership to prevent reading, or changing, sensitive files?

LastYearsPumpkin,

Yeah, cause software never has a weird bug like that.

Also, it’s a joke.

LastYearsPumpkin,

It’s one of the last of the laugh track comedies. Wondering what kids of the future are going to think about shows like that.

LastYearsPumpkin,

There was a time when space was not mostly empty though. That’s what the cosmic background radiation shows us.

LastYearsPumpkin,

What do you use it for? I use a Garmin watch that shows me notifications, does sleep tracking, tracks workouts, and lasts two weeks on a charge.

My beagle has suddenly started resource guarding random stuff. What should I do to get this behavior to stop?

I’ll start off by saying that he has a bad past life. He was obviously abused by his previous owners and straight up abandoned in the woods. He has bad anxiety that he is on Prozac for, and it seems to be helping for the most part....

LastYearsPumpkin,

You are getting some dangerous advice in this thread that can make things worse.

You already have a bite, that’s a huge sign that you have escalated past the normal behavior stuff. Talk to a professional, talk to a local organization, like the local humane society, respected training center, or your vet, and get some real advice.

Pushing back and acting violent towards a violent dog can get you hurt and the dog put down.

LastYearsPumpkin,

Left. Widescreen monitors make a task bar at top or bottom take up too much real estate.

Napoleon dynamite takes peace in Idaho. It has a very rural theme to it, but it’s not Midwest.

LastYearsPumpkin,

I love how everyone worships dogs. Most dogs I’ve met are exciting as fuck, they play constantly, run around everywhere and jump with you. I fully understand that this is a dog lover problem, but damn, dogs are special.

Kids are similar, they are exciting, dirty, loud, playful, etc… Again, this is usually due to being human.

Most dog owners and parents are probably having a great time being dog owners and parents.

LastYearsPumpkin,

To explain what’s going on requires an actual reading of the article, but a quick summary (as best as I understand) would be…

Villages in Pakistan near high altitudes need high altitude ice (glaciers and mountain ice) to build up over the winter, and slowly melt in the summer to provide water for farming and daily life.

Due to climate change, the ice on the mountains aren’t building up as much in the winter, and are melting too fast in the summer.

There is a tradition in those villages to move ice to higher altitudes on the mountain, and mix it with rock and coal. This does a few things, it provides a seed that captures rain and creates a foundation for the glaciers to form, and slows the melt so they build up bigger over time.

There seems to be some question about if this actually works, or if it’s just ritual, but since the claim is that it takes decades for the process to work, we don’t really have a lot of evidence either way yet.

These villages are losing members because they can’t farm anymore, this feels like a last ditch attempt based on old customs to get their way of life back. It’s unclear on the amount of physical effort vs. impact, but it would be interesting to see if this can be applied elsewhere.

LastYearsPumpkin,

In case anyone wasn’t clear, this is for drinking water/waste water systems. Not for cleaning up the ocean.

This sounds like a great, renewable, filter material that can be added (or replace existing filters) to a municipal water treatment plant. There’s serious issues with microplastics getting into drinking water, and this could certainly help with that.
