  • It’s a bit misleading to say they’re “random”. These are all children whose parents told T-Mobile to track for them. They’re seeing kids that aren’t theirs.

    The issue isn’t that they’re random kids from the population or random T-Mobile customers, but that they’re kids that T-Mobile received consent to track and that information is being shared to the wrong people.

    Obviously this is bad, but my point is that the data comes from somewhere. I know I’m preaching to the choir, but people need to be careful with what data they share with anyone or any organization.







  • I think a professional headline would usually just lack the comma there. Headlines typically have weird phrasing (due to their terseness), but they’re generally still grammatically sound.

    I think “HackerNews owner hacked” would be a headline, rather than “HackerNews owner, hacked”.

    “Have I Been Pwned owner pwned” seems to be on par with “Headline English” to me




  • Yeah,.there are plenty of instances where I’m adding a new URL for a password because the app and the website are too different from each other, or the app changes its login paths…

    Or heck, sometimes it’s close enough, and with my password manager on my phone, I don’t have it auto fill – I have it auto-suggest. So “Probably a match” and “Exact match” have the same path to entry.
