Comment Warrants Maybe? (Score 0) 33

Simple solution is to require a court issued warrant for any such information to be presented to any government agency, local or federal. Not an administrative warrant, but one signed by a judge and not from the FISA court.

Second, is to ban this kind of surveillance practice. Any data or evidence collection like this, sold or freely give to anyone or anything should be illegal.

The found fathers would have rejected this surveillance practice and outlawed it, if they could have imagined such a thing. Luckily, they left us a way to fix what they could not imagine.

Comment Re:Microsoft Purview (Score 1) 58

Companies that use Purview for Data Loss Prevention may not realize that they're locking their data into Microsoft's systems indefinitely.

That's a bit hyperbolic. You can use Purview, SharePoint etc. to remove tags and settings and remove DLP, if you have the rights.

What good is a DLP encrypted file if you could simply open the file after exfiltrating because you used a "compatible product"?

Comment But Can It Fold Clothes? (Score 1) 42

Can we start with more domestic chores then move on to entertainment?

I have a dishwasher, toaster, washing machine, etc.

I want something that will automate the use of the automation devices I already have. I want a robot to load and empty the dishwasher and wash my clothes and bedding then fold and put them away.

Some times we can have aligned outcomes for different reasons, we just need to be careful as to how we go about it.

Few data centers for American residents means less noise pollution, less light pollution, less water consumption, lower electricity demand etc.

For the Chinese government, it represents a slow down of innovation, advancement and a sector of the economy for the U.S., while a dictatorial China speeds ahead.

Comment "Prime-lite" in Major Metro Areas (Score 2) 37

If you live in a major metro area and don't really consume much of Amazon's digital goods, 2-3 day shipping happens regularly for free if you hit $35 and select the free shipping option because there are so many warehouses in and near the bit cities. They clearly don't want to send trucks out without enough goods per trip.

Comment Dodging Responsibility (Score 0) 74

I fee like most of the social media companies' arguments go something like this:

Government: You make cigarettes?
Big Tobacco: Yes.

Government: Smoking cigarettes is proven to increase the risk of cancer, correct?
Big Tobacco: The science is unclear on that, but if it does, we're making cigarettes not the smoke the user inhales. The user creates the smoke after modifying our product and chooses to inhale the potentially carcinogenic smoke. As such, we are not responsible for the use of our product. Hell, we even put a filter on it! What more do you want from us?

"However, Microsoft will maintain a list of recently installed apps, as it is a key way for users to discover new applications alongside the Microsoft Store."

"... alongside the Microsoft Store" is where they are still going to ingest your searches for data mining so they can sell it to whoever is paying for "recommend apps".
