There are so many companies track their users, small, medium to huge enterprise. Why just focus on google? Do you think microsoft don't track users? Linked-in has no tracking? facebook, apple and those small and medium size company?

I should change my question to what company has zero tracking or spying on their users? Do you guys know how many tracking and analytic companies out there help businesses to gather user data and do analytics, ai analytics and so on? Last month I just met a friend who worked in speedtest.net, visit my country and sell their user data to one of the largest ISP here.(kudos to who have account at their service).

Seriously, i am just wondering why just google? I ask so because I saw many title about the same topic just focus on two companies, google and facebook. Just wondering...By the way, kudos for duckduckgo, i really like that search engine. !g, !gh,...its so versatile.


Well IMO Google has an unprecidented ubiquity and scale that out-performs all of the companies you listed (Search, Chrome, Android, Youtube). Even Facebook.

For Apple I'd like to see a source that backs up that claim because they're obviously not in the business of selling personal data.


What I did is sent them old password, and few days later they sent me the recover link in my recover email address.


The only thing that daunting me to change the whole api to serverless is the cost. I know serverless itself is cheap but not the gateway and bandwidth price. It takes time to figure out what is the real cost you have to pay for the new bill without any surprise.


I'm not an expert in serverless, but doesn't it require a complete paradigm shift in how you structure your code?


Not really. Most new web application development is static to begin with, all of the code is delivered to the client browser and cached. Data is handled through traditional API's.

The difference is that you drop your static front-end code (HTML, CSS, JS) onto object storage and your API's are created in async lambdas or functions.

You're still using OAuth2 for API security.

Now, learning how to do this in AWS or Azure from a DevOps perspective is definitely a paradigm shift, but the benefits far outweigh the learning-curve concerns.


I am sorry if this is kind of out of topic. I remember weeks ago I've visited their website with new design. Seems like now bloomberg went back to the old design of their website. Any clue?


They may have been testing a design with a small portion of their traffic. Perhaps you were bucketed into the variant group.


The license of the project is for non-commercial research use only. Are they using it to build their cam for commercial?


You're right, it's quite plan really:

> PERMITTED USES: The Software may be used for your own noncommercial internal research purposes. You understand and agree that Licensor is not obligated to implement any suggestions and/or feedback you might provide regarding the Software, but to the extent Licensor does so, you are not entitled to any compensation related thereto.

from https://github.com/CMU-Perceptual-Computing-Lab/openpose/blo.... According to the article, that's powering the pose estimation here.

It's not for sale _yet_, so they may be in the clear for all the demo-ing they've been doing. Would CMU even be open providing a paid, commercial license? Does anyone know how CMU usually handles situations like this?


An open source project with more than 65k stars is dead? How and where is your confidence of saying that? With some little common sense, think again how stupid your title is. Even if you want to troll, please do some research first.
