Fair point on the screenshot. Yea I dont think any TV is phoning home with screenshots. Rather it's phoning home with a processed signal of the A/V in order to ID that A/V. If there is A/V that cannot be recognized, it m

"They are spying on millions of people" If you consider tracking an anonymous identifier for the purposes of better marketing "spying" then I think that's a stretch. Calling out TV in particular for it is a bit sill

Not for attribution. It’s for exposure. If Pepsi buys $1M in ads on NBC, it only knows the DMA and time slot/programs it bought the ads on. It doesn’t know the households it bought the ads on. With ACR data, it will know that you were

It’s called ACR data and it’s very common. And yes, TVs are phoning home with it. And GDPR only requires that you opt in. So when you sign into the TV for the first time, it gives you an opt in choice and many do it. The States is less regu

It tickles me that photography is noted as a worthwhile skill. I don’t disagree. Photography to me is meditation. I get to wander around and find things pleasing to the eye. Nothing could be better.

I find it funnier the outrage of those who can’t bear to think of their dog’s love as contingent upon food. “But I need unconditional love from my pet!”

You've got to be more specific. I've lived in NYC for almost a decade and I think the power went out 3 times and that's always been due to a hurricane. Power cuts are not something I've had to deal with in any significan

The more interesting fact is that if Tim Cook were to pay more taxes, he'd be fired by his shareholders. CEO's of public companies are supposed to increase profitability, not decrease it.

What I find most fascinating is that we look to others to change principally before ourselves. Invariably when there is terrible news such as this, people will discuss the 'deniers' etc. But the deniers aren't the most pernic

Please explain how it is irrelevant. If you cease paying attention to FB, then your deceased loved ones no longer continue this "digital life" as the article puts it.

I think the last quote of the article is telling: "The truth," writes Borges, "is that we all live by leaving behind." Honestly, why can't we all heed this advice and just leave Facebook behind? The second we all st

What a terribly misleading title. Yes, self-driving cars are getting into accidents. No they are not the cause of those accidents. Whats the story here?

"constantly disparage audience members for being white or religious.." Hyperbole much? He may have been disparaging of religions (once in the talk, mind you) but never white people. The talk's great.

I think the other thing you didn't mention is that all of those terrible things (like the Kardashians) weren't created by LA, they were created by America. The rest of America encourages such terrible behavior that the Kardashians

Hacker News isn't so much about "news" per se. "News", I believe, should be about something new or recent. We're now talking about an article (op-ed?) written by Aaron in 2006. This isn't news and much of
