If they do not care why not ask them some mp3 with their sex scenes

Thousands subcontractors of google/amazon/ms already hear it, why you can't?

This is like vaccination

Why I have to vaccinate if measles already defeated?

Why I have to fear that all my neighbors send* all video to someone?

* because you do not know that "some corporation" do not sell your video feed to anyone

>You will need a firewall rule.

Yes

Or DNS

Hmm

How can I block cookies with uMatrix for sub domains like *.domain.com for any site?

PS: I assume that just temporary solution. Because nextsstep is just hosting some js from "analytics" on main domain and/or solutions like cloudflare for e-commerce / google news / etc.

And for filtering that bs we need deep filtering and api inside JS VM

Yup, that alarmism about reality we live

Some DS just not really know or understand how to clean datasets

So some models suddenly use skin color as main predictor of some bad thing

And I assume that you ok with total surveillance.

Hmmm

True

What problem if I (anyone) can know where are you now at any point of time, even you newer allow that

Or any law enforcement agency can arrest you even if you do nothing and software just wrongly identify your face on crime scene

And god forbid if you have not white skin color

>Security implications of CNAME Cloaking

>While this is considered bad practice for a website to set cookies as accessible to all subdomains (i.e., *.website.com), many do this.

>In that case, those cookies are automatically sent to the cloaked third-party tracker.

Sooooo

I suppose we are going back to the roots

White lists in hosts file with ips and good sites

Not useful - because inaccurate on individual level

Not useful - because algorithms for caloric expenditure are usable now only for group level experiments

>that’s not just a smart watch problem

True

>Overall, heart rate error was within the acceptable error range for the majority of task/device combinations, but EE error exceeded the allowed threshold for all tasks and devices.

And I repeat - for group level experiments such devices are good

For individual, without calibration - not

https://www.mdpi.com/2075-4426/7/2/3/htm#fig_body_display_jp...

You can see this on Fig2. That individual dots on image - that may be error on your device on your body

And even more - I do not know what for you need your pulse measurements. Even accurate

You do not need that number when you reach your peak velocity and do not need it when your sitting

>It’s also best-in-class accurate for calorie expenditure, which is fine for general day-to-day tracking and dietary planning.

I know even more accurate device for such purpose

Scales

And btw - scales can be mechanical so they can't send your data

I'm more about "fitness and heath" aspect of such devices

And probably just hate small displays in general

You know, you do not need "export" anything if you occupy territory

And if you have plans for 20-50 years you don't even need military or police force

Just buy any politician and push your ideology and rewrite history books. And in 50 years people can't think that was something else

And 50 years it is a lot. In rusian federation that was done by less that 5 years

1984

So just to be clear

If someone wear 1-10-100 "smart devices" that someone do not loose weight

You lost weight because you work hard, you eat smart and you change habits

https://www.strongerbyscience.com/complete-guide-to-bar-spee...

About phone calls - I prefer do not answer at all. Better to recall or write message or mail

About measurements - you really can't rely on any of wrist device sensors. They are not calibrated at all

And even better. You body has so much more preciser sensors than any device.

One device that can measure somewhat decent when you do exercises - chest strap monitor

And I love tech a lot. But tech which can improve my or someones life
