I have no idea what i-shirt is but it's likely that if an user uses copyrighted material for his i-shirt, you'll have to pay because it's your platform. Bonus points for not using a censorship filter in trying to do this.

This isn't the police or the parliament asking for the information. It's the regulatory body that does inspections to companies to see if they respect GDPR. So the pretext they're using is that they want to see the informatio

This is not related to business but there's a horror story with Romania (it's in the EU) asking a news organization to provide informants information related to some corruption leaks. The information is requested by the national G

The idea is not to hold people to their actions for all time. Even people who have been in jail are considered reformed. It's like someone holding you to your words when you were 4 and said you wanted to be an astronaut (maybe).

Well I'd be worried if there's the power with no oversight to request anything from personal nudes to the Coca Cola recipe and Area 51 secrets and then have no repercussions if made public.

TL;DR required. I didn't quite get it from the article. Is Facebook accused of doing something illegal under the laws at the time of the action? If I were to sue them for anything, do I have any grounds?

China doesn’t have a good track record of policies: the pest control, the one child. One could also argue that their economy is also showing a crisis in the future. This system if it is unstable and has side effects will probably screw up t

The message being sent seems to be that shining light on government things, a hero makes not. I'm not going to compare Assange with Superman, but remember that Superman was Clark Kent and he would have also shown the world if someone d

Besides chat, WeChat allows a lot of stuff from hailing cabs, ordering food, doing payments, the sky is the limit because businesses can integrate with it. On the other hand, I look at all Western social apps and cringe: Facebook made a big

Humans are terribly designed for space exploration: die quickly, require sustenance, can't handle high G forces, can't handle radiation. I always believed that if humanity is to colonize something, it would be through robots that

I never understood why colonizing Mars is needed. Even if a meteorite hits Earth or Yellowstone erupts, Earth would be more "hospitable" to life than any other planet in our solar system because Earth has a lot of resources that a

I'm going to make a supposition here but one of the first things I think they did (especially when trying to fix the AI) was to balance and normalize the data so that there would be no skew between men and women number of records in th

The eye opening thing here is not that the AI failed, but why it failed. At start the AI is like a baby, it doesn't know anything or have any opinions. By teaching it using a set of data, in this case a set of resumes and the outcome t

I guess about 51% of the population didn't see this coming or they didn't care. I remember the propaganda going on around that time... The best scene was a politician rebutting a scientist because "what does an expert know ab

I think people had more empathy for the mentally ill before the advent of science or religion. Science will reduce and dehumanize all that makes that human to a nameless patient file while trying to fix the issues. Religion might demonize a

Intel had a pretty rough year with discovered exploits, poor PR and serious production issues for their tech. How to discreetly solve the above issues? Have the CEO resign due to a reason that is not related in any way to his capacity of be

I'm not an economist but I'm pretty sure that the price of housing is determined by supply and demand. Wouldn't housing be more affordable if more houses would be allowed to be built? Cities seem to enjoy banning people from

I always love companies explaining their decisions as if they had some kind of moral high ground and it's their duty for the good of the people. The real reason is summed up perfectly in the article: "a substantial portion of our

Is the population data specified anywhere for the 500 participants? I shared this article to some colleagues which are married and have small children and they seem to disagree with these findings. I tend to agree because home disturbances

Prices should be based on the 5Ws and the current models that are now used seem similar to what was in the 2000s at the age of "we didn't know better". What is being sold? If it's news, is it sold by category? Is the new

Doesn't this move seem like it breaches some kind of ethical and moral guidelines? It's putting the safety of users at risk just because of a litigation. I find it akin to denying health checks to a patient that could have a highl

How can the war end? The entire premise was the pursuit of unified true Korea and I can’t see the North turning a democratic leaf or the South accepting a totalitarian rule. What about all the weapons aimed towards the South? Truly suspicio

They can track things bigger than 10 cm and yet they somehow misplaced the classified military satellite delivered by SpaceX.

Considering that Facebook makes its revenue from ads and that providing relevant ads needs data and tracking, this move is not so bad. Users that don’t accept the terms or use various tech to block this, would receive misappropriated ads. B

I think I’m going to have to start learning Russian. An explanation as to why will follow. As the article states, there will be a monetary price to pay in order to implement and then uphold GDPR. The fine is also stated in Euro. If the legi

There’s no helping if as an user, you give the keys to the house to the robbers. More specifically, everything posted publicly is public. It doesn’t matter how much the data is obfuscated by lack of API, it can always be mined. Any changes

The easy part is providing the information about how the data is used because it's do once, reuse always. Just refer to a document. The hard part is the right to be forgotten which requires the company to remove all information that pe

My "business" idea would probably last until the tech stack catches up. At this moment there is no easy way to handle this request for a simple helpdesk clerk without involving some pricier jobs. Even with the tech, it still requi

This letter is interesting.. and paints a bleak future. What is stopping someone who wants to make easy money (like me) from going on Fiverr and selling my GDPR request letters? Example: 5$ for 5 (could be anything) GDPR request letters to

I completely understand this decision but that doesn’t make me any less disappointed. Not in Google but the users. Nothing has changed if after all these years, people still fall for scams: Nigerian princes, Ponzi schemes, single house wive
