Fitting to the times.


English is poor language in terms of preciseness - and even worse in terms of impreciseness.

Sometimes it looks like about anything else would be better as a programming interface.


It should at least do its core function: collect data.


I think it is not redundant - it gives emphasis for a guess, to make sure reader won't mix it up with other things that may be verified to be truthy.


yea, I'm not saying there's no place for that phrase ever. But overusing it was a bad habit of mine and it ends up being unnecessary filler. My wording there was a bit exaggerated.


Why is this getting pushed up so fiercely? It seems all of the issues are for dubs and their closed captions. CC users are a very minor target group. Deaf can just use proper subs.

I have seen no issues in regular subs, and they look like they always have looked.


Realists, not paranoid. The threats are very real, and even very probable at this stage.


Containers are not the best option for security. VMs and/or a MAC are better.

Google probably has enough pictures taken with the person's phone's camera and recordings taken with the phone's micrphone, along with all other standard data sources like browsing history, searches and so on. There also likely are similar recordings from friends, allowing to properly profile them, with their respective positions in their networks.

So I think they can do it pretty accurately.
