commented on:Auto Makers Are Selling Data On Your Driving Habits To Your Insurer Without Properly Informing You

“Automakers and data brokers that have partnered to collect detailed driving data from millions of Americans say they have drivers’ permission to do so. But the existence of these partnerships is nearly invisible to drivers, whose consent is obtained in fine print and murky privacy policies that few read.”Pretty concerning breach of privacy.

Will be interesting to see where this technology goes in the near term. The advancements we are seeing monthly/yearly are already so crazy.

TLDR: Australia, Canada, and the UK going to have more expensive Tier 1 subscriptions. Turkey's prices for all 3 tiers will go up.

commented on:Can job postings in Canada exclude white people? Short answer: yes

What gets me, is that these types of things are ironically racist towards the people that they are meant to protect. By hiring based on race, gender, or sexual identity opposed to merit, they are basically saying that those people do not have the merit for the role without special hiring practices being put in place to ensure that they get the job. Surely the most qualified person should be getting the role?

This makes a ton of sense. Fight racism with racism.
"In two recent job postings for Canada Research Chairs in computer science at the University of Waterloo, applications are restricted for those who identify as “women, transgender, gender-fluid, non-binary, or Two-spirit” in the first case, and to members “of a racialized minority” for the second."﻿

The series is expected to be on air in 2025/2026. I know there's some skepticism regarding it following the same cast as the movies, but personally I'm pretty excited.

I haven't had the chance to try the Vision Pro yet, but based on the reviews I've saw, I'm kind of inclined to agree with Zuck. The Quest 3 at a glance does seem to be the better value.

I'd love to get high res photographs from a planet like this. Would be super cool to see what another planet similar to ours looks like.
