@fribbledom nice to finally have an idea what a user profile is worth on FB.

Just saying.

On the bright side, Twitter and Facebook's recent shenanigans may be leading to a reevaluation of what these platforms are actually worth, both financially and to us as a society.

I suspect it's a lot less than the going-price in recent years.

Meanwhile, regulators continue to completely not care about regulating the credit bureaus. Specifically, Experian.

Last summer I wrote about how a ton of Experian accounts were getting hacked when ID thieves would simply create a new account using the target's personal info but with a new phone # and email, and Experian's website would be like, okay, sure, so you're the new owner. No problem. We'll just lock out the old user and give them no way to get back in. Except to, yeah, create another profile. And on it goes.

Well, it looks like Experian is still sitting on its thumbs because someone has hijacked my Experian credit file now.

Thinking about it some more, the fundamental flaw with CoPilot is that the goal is to make it faster and easier to generate code.

As a programmer, you don't want to generate code.

You want to solve problems, and the less code involved the better. I don't want tools that will generate repetitive code, I want less repetition.

https://github.blog/2022-09-07-research-quantifying-github-copilots-impact-on-developer-productivity-and-happiness/ shows the problem. "Less mental effort on repetitive tasks", sure, but you should be trying to _prevent_ the repetition, not do more of it.

I am a member of an Israeli group called "The Lighthouse for the awareness of #Gaza".

Since 2018 we have met every week, a few Kilometers from the border, to keep alive the hope for peace with Gaza.

Today, the third day of a new war in #israel, I wrote a post in my blog about our story, our present and some thoughts about hope.

Please read and share.

Peace to you all.

Edit: A shocking update. 108 bodies of Israelis were found in Kibbutz Be'eri, mentioned in my post.

Speaking of hope, in this weeks torah portion, Isaac and Ishmael, the 2 sons of Abraham, who had enmity between them, came together to bury their father. I like to imagine that they wept in each others arms & recognized their brotherhood. May it be so today. Soon. #torah #ChildrenoOAbraham

I hate the U.S. Gov't, and I'm seriously not fond of Joe Biden.

But in a colonizer gov't, you take what you can get. If I'm alive, I'm voting for Biden.

Don't be delusional. Not voting, or not voting for Biden for any reason would be incredibly dumb. You'd just be handing the Presidency, Senate and House to the GOP which would usher in the darkest times anyone now alive has ever seen.

You ain't seen nothing yet, just ask Native and Black people just how bad it can get in the USA...

If this "practice does not meet the threshold for an illegal privacy violation under state law",

And the practice is "infotainment systems in the company’s vehicles began downloading and storing a copy of all text messages on smartphones when they were connected to the system",

Then the state law urgently needs to be improved.

• A picture from the movie 2001, showing two men seating food while watching video on flat tablets. The caption reads: If you look carefully at the 1968 movie 2001: A Space Odyssey, it envisions a future in which people eat meals while staring at images on flat, portable, rectangular screens. Nice bit of prediction. In the next bit of the movie, AI takes over and kills everyone. (remote)

This guy has a wife and two kids.

At the beginning of most of his videos, he mentions his "partner, Shawn Coyne." But apparently Shawn's just a BUSINESS partner!
