Did you know human livers are a single broken gene away from maufacturing vitamin C from glucose, just like almost every other mammal?

The liver perform every step in the process except the final one, because of a single transacription error that was introduced into the germline back in ancient times

It would be cool to see what happens when they fix that.

And what's up with this "In 1942, more than 80 percent of Americans slept seven hours a night or more. Today, 40 percent sleep six hours or less" part?

I had to do some mental math to convert those equilvent comparisons 20% got less than 7 hours in 1942, and today 40% get less than 6.

Why would they make me do mental math when they know I probably didn't get enough sleep last night?

Could Google be any more transparent as a willing and eager participant of the surveillance state?

It'd be nice if they'd at least pretend to hide what they are doing, so as to not so blatently insult our intelligence.

The best way to fight back is to blacklist everybody who has ever been employed by a red light camera company.

Use LinkedIn to track them down, create a public website where you name and shame them.

If you can find out where they live, confront them at their houses in front of their families and neighbors.

Until there's a social cost which makes acting like an amoral mercenary unprofitable, the number of amoral mercenaries will continue to increase.

Unfortunately very little of our "justice" system is geared towards real accountability and equality.

The court system is theater designed to give the peasants the illusion of justice.

It's sole purpose is to increase margins for the ruling class - people who believe they are free require the rulers to expend fewer resources to keep them compliant and productive.

I was here before it was Slashdot...

What are you talking about? You might not have like the ads, but we never lied about anything. Our service was super clear about how it worked. And for those who didn't like the redirection, it has always been possible to create an account and disable that part of the service.

We have been building a data privacy and data usage policy document that we plan to release soon.

One of the many, many reasons to turn off ads is that we had to share some potentially personally identifiable information with ad partners (indirectly when making ad requests, they would just see it in the ad request), so by turning off ads, our privacy / data policy will be a lot more clear and will not need to have weird "certain third parties for certain services" kind of language to address the advertising business.

We're waiting to turn off ads, we'll get the document cleaned up, and we'll publish it.

Nope. Never.

We wouldn't make such a case for turning off ads if this was our business model going forward. You could visit our site and see how we make money. We sell security services. We never could have done it without first being a consumer service, but we're not selling your data. Come on.

-David

Nope. Never. We've never sold our data. We've never even used it for marketing purposes internally.

We've only ever made money from one of three things: Ads, selling individuals an ad-free version, and enterprise security services.

Today, most all of our revenue, and all of our growth, comes from selling enterprise security. If you work in IT, it's worth checking out to improve your security posture. There's a lot more to it than you might guess.

2010 called and they want their FUD back.

Bitcoin payment processors solved this problem a long time ago.
