I watched the James Bond movie Spectre recently and came away feeling like the Spectre organization and Ernst Stavro Blofeld were modeled on Palatir.

Palantir is definitely “on our side”.

sounds delicious

My guess is people put up with this shit because the job market is terrible right now and most other workplaces in big tech will follow suite soon.

Why do we allow this?

Nothing will happen until the mid terms or 2028.

This administration highlights why the pardon provisions of the constitution need amendment.

In such a scenario, people shouldn't acquiesce. Be creative and find ways of bringing hurt to those in this administration who feel they can dodge consequences. If no example is made of them, it will happen again.

The pardon is limited to federal offenses, state prosecution is still viable.

Right, privacy terms are written to be vague and permissive. Even if you read them you can’t usually understand how the data will be used or opt out.

I think we should make this type of tracking opt-out by default. We should also ban the sale of its use to third parties and its use for purposes other than the specific functionality which required it to be enabled in the first place.

>I think we should make this type of tracking opt-out by default

That's opt-in, not opt-out.

GP states correctly that they believe the default 'choice' of a user should be 'opting-out' of location tracking.

This is utterly confusing the use of the terms. Opting is making a choice. The default isn't a choice. Opting by default makes no sense.

Yeah it is. What I mean is the default is you have not opted in. You must choose to opt in for this type of tracking. It should be a choice that doesn’t preclude you from using a service if you don’t allow tracking.

You are describing opt-in policies — you’re out by default and you have to opt-in to be tracked.

BoA issued me a new card after a fraudulent charge, the next year on the same date the same fraudulent charge showed up (annual billing cycle). This happened for more than three years because after they issued a new card they updated the service that billed the fraud with the new number.
