It’s Time to Break Up Facebook
Lots of great points made by Chris Hughes, a co-founder of Facebook.
Parents can’t delete what kids tell Amazon voice assistant
Now those advocates say the kids’ version of Amazon’s Alexa won’t forget what children tell it, even after parents try to delete the conversations. For that and other alleged privacy flaws they found while testing the service, they’re now asking the Federal Trade Commission on Thursday to investigate whether it violates children’s privacy laws.
Here’s a thought. Stop using devices as babysitters.
Mozilla looks to Tor as it ponders Super Private Browsing mode
“Super Private Browsing Mode”? Is this like Double Secret Probation?
Eggheads confirm: Rampant Android bloatware a privacy and security hellscape
The apps bundled with many Android phones are presenting threats to security and privacy greater than most users think.
This according to a paper (PDF) from university researchers in the US and Spain who studied the pre-installed software that 214 different vendors included in their Android devices. They found that everyone from the hardware builders to mobile carriers and third-party advertisers were loading products up with risky code.
Feds charge Chinese national in 2015 breach of health insurer Anthem

Boston Beer Company and Dogfish Head Agree to Merge in $300 Million Deal
The merger brings together the Brewers Association’s second-largest craft beer maker, Boston Beer, with the 13th largest craft brewery, Dogfish Head. Both companies will retain their status as BA-defined independent craft breweries.
This is HUGH news in the craft beer world. Dunno what I think about it yet.
‘Wild Kingdom’ Host Jim Fowler Dead At 89
The wildlife expert co-hosted Mutual of Omaha’s “Wild Kingdom” with Marlin Perkins beginning in 1963.

Eric,have fun and keep hydrated,and for a good cause
Eric,
I am glad to see the many worthwhile causes in which you participate and applaud you.
My comment was from the perspective of someone your Dad’s age who just had knee surgery. I’m thinking I would be lucky to get to the end of my drive way in my recumbent (Hey! It’s a long driveway…)
I hope to be back in the saddle, soon, and start my bike recovery/therapy.
Thanks for all your hard work with this blog. I have found it to be very good.
Hope your recovery goes well!
