Reads a bit like it could have been a dealership or dealer network that was breached.

No dates or timestamps included meaning they were using the data to build a social graph.

I've implemented self-serve analytics at three organizations successfully. It's important your data is well organized, well labeled/defined, and the BI tool needs to allow you to configure guardrails around how data is queried. I have used Looker as the BI tool at all three organizations. End users do not need to even define joins. They just select the grouping and aggregate columns they want to return and click run, then configure their visualization from the data. It is true that some users are not data literate and still will not run their own queries, but from my experience a lot of non-technical business users love being able to easily explore data themselves, and the business receives a lot of value from it.

I was always told it's because as you age a year becomes a smaller portion of your life. When you are 35 a year is 1/35th of your life, compared to 1/5th as a 5 year old.

Ilya has backtracked and signed the letter saying he would also leave to Microsoft if the board doesn't resign.

It is important to note that the exposed details do not constitute personally identifiable information, so it wouldn't be possible to use this data leak to track individuals

The data included timestamped GPS data, which has been demonstrated to be easy to de-anonymize.

In this example there is enough evidence the suspect has been arrested by police, which is a public record. Not remotely the same as the Boston bomber reddit-misidentification case.

Yes, copy/paste error just fixed!

Love to see it. We (CoreDB) recently released PGMQ, a message queue extension for Postgres: https://github.com/CoreDB-io/coredb/tree/main/extensions/pgm...

I wish you could apply it to specific area codes. The area code of my phone number is not an area I have lived in for several years now. 98% of my spam calls are from this area code but none of the important unknown callers are calling from this area code.

1) Look at 3rd party solutions (Stitch, Fivetran, Segment, etc.) to ingest your raw data into a data warehouse (strong preference for Snowflake).

2) Use dbt (https://www.getdbt.com) to clean, transform and model the raw data into analytic tables.

3) Add a BI layer (Mode, Looker, etc.) on top of the analytic tables for reporting.

Yep, we had similar Redshift issues and ended up switching to Snowflake.

Great post. Check out dbt (https://www.getdbt.com/) for materializing your views, lots of great features and a great community.

Customer A does not receive full medical support because "he's dying anyway"?

Unless the patient consents to stop or reduce care, this would be medical negligence, which is illegal (in the US). Medical providers are required by law to provide medical treatment with all the knowledge and skill they possess.

Family members co-founding a company isn't nepotism.

Will 1Password detect and autofill these or do you have to look it up?

This is an industry I'm familiar with and I'd love to hear some debate on this. In my opinion the industry resembles celebrity endorsements and product placement much more than digital advertising.

Do celebrities need to disclose they are being compensated to mention a brand on the red carpet?

Do movies need to start including #ad in scenes that have paid product placements?

The idea of endorsements and product placement go back for decades, and this is no different. What distinguishes this from the examples above, and if "ad" needs to be disclosed with influencer posts, why does it not need to be disclosed with celebrity endorsements and product placement?

While there are certainly exceptions (cough Kardashians) a heavy majority of influencers won't post about brands or products they don't genuinely like and believe their audience would be interested in. They won't muddy their name with a bad brand. So why do they need to be paid to post? Because they aren't going to spend the time to create and share content for free.

What about $0.99/mo, or even $0.49/mo? My initial reaction is the same as yours, but I could see myself agreeing to $0.99/mo for some of the apps I paid $2 or $3 for. Still relatively cheap for me but would dramatically increase income for the developer.

Did you read their motion?[1] It is very much part of their argument. It sets a precedent that not only will other US courts compel them to unlock devices, but other countries will as well. Even if you trust the US government to not use the software maliciously, do you trust other governments?

1) It's a backdoor because it's software, not a physical device like your example. They are not asking them to make a robot finger to push the buttons. It's not only more trivial to unlock the device, it's significantly more likely the software is copied and leaked into malicious hands.

2) The outrage, in my opinion, is much more about your exact example -- that Apple is being compelled to develop this software themselves. That they are being legally required to weaken the value of their own product.

According to the article it sounds like an optional feature which can be turned off.

It allows people who want to support ad-based publishers with quality ads, while still blocking the heavy junk.

Not an unacceptable thing to me, especially if it makes the developer some extra money without forcing me to let the ads through.
