Probably gmail wants you to click on "not spam" for each, so they can verify you actually have a relationship with each miscategorized(on purpose) email sender.

Ah. So it does have more than climate change issues in it. As a Canuck, I see this as a huge US weakness. These megabills, riders and such. The parent's point is valid. If people cared, really, really cared, it would be a single pur

And the elephant in the room is... the real purpose, for many corps eg Google, others, is to identify you, track you more accurately. And your mobile phone number is invaluable here.

Many phones let you rotate your MAC too, to prevent profiling...

This is going to sound really stupid, but get bloodwork done for a vitamin deficiency. As one ages, nutrient absorption wanes. You often need more, to get the same as when younger. So even with an unchanging diet, you may have changed. Wor

The point is, the 5B was a fine, accepting full penalty for whatever "wrong thing", over that part which was being investigated. The 47x number is apples and oranges. They are two different fines / issues. What Zuck knew isn

The settlement happened after the 5B was paid. The 5B likely included a fine they were seeking, too.

A few things here, some to other posts upstream of yours. 1) There is absolutely no shortage of arable land. None. Even with the immense amount of "the best growing land ever" being covered with cities, for cities formed where t

Apple is a little bit like Oracle, in that, they think the world thinks as they do. EG, employees are a bit zealous. So I suggest 4. They think lightning may become a real standard, everyone will adopt it, with licensing fees.

The problem is, sadly, people scream at google because they "let people see bad things". So Google, for PR reasons, responds.

I do wonder about the overall sustainability...

I wonder. For phones/tablets, Apple doesn't want anyone using the web for apps, insisting on app store (and fees) for all transactions. If Google came along with a deal to switch to Chrome, would modern, post-Jobs Apple go along?

The original owner gone, close relatives often have some inkling of account passwords. They also know best how the original owner thought. A lot of people have passed on, leaving crypto behind! A non-tech savvy sort, often has zero clue ab

It has been long enough, that spouses discover their partner's wallets upon their death, that children a parent's. In these contexts, there may be no tech savviness..

Hmm, I bet newspapers. That seems something which would carry through all that time. The comics in papers, that sort of thing? Then Bugs picked it up...

Bugs bunny is why. Seriously. Most popular cartoon of its time, every kid of the era (40s to 70s) watched it...

What? Throw someone in an MRI or whatever. Continuously scan their brain, while their eyes are taped open, and display a changing character on the screen. Meanwhile, play a sound file with someone saying "password" in the backg

Yes, but, I think this is where we need to go. We can super-early detect some cancers now, via blood tests. vitamin deficiencies. A plethora of conditions and diseases, early on, too. Why not test all these things at once, and improve hea

The problem with rabies, is how it turns the animal wildly violent. And how that change is designed to spread the virus.

It's a bacteria, which is typically found in moist soil. This is often where rusty nails live, hence why people connect the two. You can get tetanus from ground wasps too, for the same reason. Who knows with a garage / cars in ter

By this metric, every generation has cause to belittle and fault the prior. From the dawn of time, no generation has managed affairs perfectly. Or even well, by many metrics. Millenials will do just as poorly as the hippies, if not worse.
