I'd love to agree, but speaking globally - if they had physical offices in India and in San Fran, they'd be paid based on the market value for the location.

So the same probably goes for remote work.

Ah, sorry, didn't see it'd been submitted before

With conspiracy theorists, it's always: if something big and bad happens, OBVIOUSLY someone is behind it.

they don't accept that real life isn't about good/bad dichotomy, that there sometimes isn't a villain. bad things happen, and sometimes there isn't really anyone to blame.

not an interesting story, so they retcon it

Well, I meant the full title when you click through to the page:

"Top VPNs are recording users and potentially leaking their data when they visit their website"

I had to truncate it here to fit

on the other hand, i'm surprised that PIA and Tunnelbear have so few trackers

that's great. i didn't even notice that. automatic upvote

I see what you mean. A little bit of "reasonable ignorance" but full understanding on the author's side that people don't read full sentences (or long titles).

nonetheless, the research is still valuable. not very surprising that those antivirus companies with vpns have such huge numbers of trackers

I don't know what you can see, but the full title shows that it's about websites

and their info section shows that they only analyzed websites. "In order to analyze these websites..."

i get what you mean, but i think that's a bit more about reading comprehension than what they've been doing.

Thanks for the link. let me quickly check it out

i don't know if that's particularly practical to build up your own VPN if that's your implication?

I'm sure they really care about your "privacy" -- as long as they can track you and up their profits

so, in total: a regular business

As far as i know (form my college days in mid-2000s), we had this issue for setting up movie nights. Some people claimed that rented videos had an agreed-upon audience of (i think) 8 people. So to accommodate, let's say 100 people, we had to rent about 12 of the same videos.

Of course, we were in college and laughed and said screw it and just rented the one DVD.

But I never went back to check up on this.

don't think it's a scam. forbes covered it (https://www.forbes.com/sites/zakdoffman/2020/03/20/stunning-...) although more neutrally than this title

i guess he means -- either use an Android (google) phone, or use an Apple iOS phone. but is apple better than google in this sense (data collection)?

isn't the census about to start this year? this is some "same shit, different toilet" scenario. all these so-called secure government institutions or private companies or wherever this database came from. always promising a lot, and delivering little.

that's what happens when non-cybersec people are in charge of cybersec things

unintended good news consequence. earth is gonna have a great few months now. maybe a year. less consumption, less traveling, less pollution. nature rejoices

this guy went from...having almost religious love of the people, to...just a lot of facepalming. I feel like dr. fauci now.

you're smart, mr. musk, but in SOME thing, not all things. his entitled ass needs to learn that sometimes you need to just stay in your lane, man. stay in your lane

WFH is a great option, but - having worked in that kind of environment for a few years - I much prefer working in an office. It's definitely true that I'm more productive when I WFH, but honestly, losing that human touch and spur-of-the-moment creativity, which for me requires human interaction (bouncing ideas off each other), is a bigger negative than the positives of getting my work done

happy women's day i guess? another app, another leak. color me surprised...
