  Over time, calling the customer service line back
  over and over, she would piece together information.
  The name on the account that shipped the product was
  different from the one used on the credit card, she
  discovered, all of which were different from her name
  and address.

How do you think they got your information?

Netflix stopped serving It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia and now those torrents are really really popular =)

That last part is the worst. Torrent sites rarely just stop uploading a show (unless it’s very old and never became noteworthy)

Google Voice was similarly “updated” over time and is very good anymore

Even HTML5 web capturing works in a similar way. Once you give an site like Discord access to your microphone or screen it can pretty much access it whenever the page is open - granted it will show a little badge on screen by default.

A lot of users got tired of the on-screen badge being on all the time and probably set it to hidden (very easy to do) so not everyone is actually aware of when an HTML5 application is accessing a microphone/camera/screen.

Great when it works, one of the few variants of Linux that sometimes just doesn't like to run on some hardware still.

Love that he does it in shorts with a formal shirt up top.

I know nothing of this field, is there any idea of how long "information" stays in the brain or any metric like that once blood/oxygen flow to the brain has been inhibited?

Like these: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dCvB-mhkT0w

There are some other ones where the presenter isn't on screen but it's the same software (or looks identical in writing style)

I believe it started with Golang, where Go was already an existing language by a hobbyist - granted nobody was using it kinda lame to steal his name.

What is the chalkboard software that some mathematics and programming folks use on YouTube or when streaming?

They mention they don't preserve "heads" in specific but rather brains, and go into detail about how they can't separate a brain from a skull so they preserve the entire head. Wouldn't separating the head from the body cause similar problems of destroying information in the brain? Do they keep the entire body?

That makes sense, I forgot about the pesky CORS situation. My thinking was maybe the or other subsystem that is capable of loading MP3s remotely (since they are media objects) could do the same for playlist data.

Cheers!

Isn't there a class-action lawsuit, can't those 143M people in theory get in on that?

When I interviewed at Facebook almost every person I talked to said "if Google blocks ads by default Facebook will sue them" so I expect to see a lawsuit eventually
