Hmm, not quite what I thought it would be. It's just a javascript widget that let's users report content to your own team.
I know that Facebook (and I assume the other big players) run teams (from what I read not excellently paid and without enough psychological support ) that actually review/filter objectionable content and I am guessing they're throwing their automatic detection systems at it as well.
Anyone aware of a company offering the actual filtering system AAS ?
I am currently trying out tox with a small number of friends (ok, one friend). I am curious as to what your criticism of tox is. While it seems it's still a bit new, it seems it does all that it claims to do.
I don't have a lot of skin in the game, but I am genuinely curious as to what you mean. How else other than "lump[ing] them in together", would you comprehensively criticize it?
I mean, two things good about Signal is that it let's you chat with friends and family in a secure manner.
There are these following issues though: I doesn't federate, it relies on Google Push, it doesn't support SMS. Also, I don't like how Signal does [...]"
Is that already an invalid way to make an argument ?
You're correct. That would be a fine way to make a comprehensive criticism.
I was trying to express frustration with posters who start out with a nebulous complaint like "Signal is bad and OWS is evil". If called on this they come back with "It allows Google to spy on you", if countered they come back with "it doesn't allow freedom to federate" and so on.
Rather than being a multi pronged criticism it's more like a bait and switch, with each new argument being deployed when the previous one is rendered invalid.
This sounds like you might need to define your threat model in a little more detail. I don't think the threat such that you might catch ME sending out data while you're looking for it in this way.
But let's say I was your attacker, I would simply encode some data in the timing between each individual packet that I am sending out on behalf of the kernel: imagine a sort of morse code where that are long pauses between packets for dashes and short pauses between dots.
So now all I have to do is convince your ISP to let me look at your packages timing.
First off, as pointed out below, making copies of national IDs is illegal in some jurisdictions, but there are many other IDs which according to the issuers may not be copied. Think drivers licenses, library cards, and so on.
That being said, all IDs that I own are issued for a particular service, any app/webservice asking me to upload a copy of them, would most likely re-use some aspect of value that these IDs provide for a different purpose, and I can't think of an actual, compelling reason why I would give someone else access to it.
And that's before even thinking about security and the possibility of a breach.
Sure, I am building an app so I wanted to know how willing would people be. The idea is to only verify the registered users against the ID and not store them for later use.
> Once upon a time at evening I have decided to properly brake the famous browsers communication problem and as a result you have landed in here. I have created implementation of BNC networks model with simple TCP/IP layer, that as transport packet it will use browser's cookie object.
By blocking all ads, because I am not going to buy anything from an ad anyhow, I'm not being counted towards your bill, which makes things cheaper for you and more pleasant for me.
Usually direct response marketing (like ads to buy a game) is paid per click, so you weren't getting people charged before you started ad blocking, when you weren't clicking on the ad anyways.
And as a beside, people typically don't do direct response marketing to engineers, because it's known they don't click on ads and they're better marketed to through referrals from other engineers and online content (like this article).
I'd love an easy option to only include ads on sites that I trust, or that do ads well, and some reliable metrics surrounding that. Then content producers could get some feedback on "ad acceptance rates" and create better user experiences.
Now that I think about it, one of the most obnoxious things about online ads isn't that they are eerily intelligent, but that they are still mostly dumb forms of broadcast.
