Andy Greenberg writing for WIRED The solution to that paradox, it turns out, is a trick that requires you to own at least two Apple devices. Each one emits a constantly changing key that nearby Apple devices use to encrypt and upload your geolocation data, such that only the other Apple device you own possesses the key to decrypt those locations. Stuff like this is why I like Apple.

Maciej Cegłowski: This requires us to talk about a different kind of privacy, one that we haven’t needed to give a name to before. For the purposes of this essay, I’ll call it ‘ambient privacy’—the understanding that there is value in having our everyday interactions with one another remain outside the reach of monitoring, and that the small details of our daily lives should pass by unremembered.

Google Calendar outage, well that certainly frees up my day 😊

Ben Thompson: Google: Again — and note a developing theme here — Google’s anticompetitive behavior is relatively clear. First, the company consistently favors its own properties in search results, particularly “above-the-fold” — that is, results that are not actually search results but which seek to answer the user’s query directly. A partial list: Google by-and-large removed video segments from competing properties in favor of YouTube videos Google offers local results from Google Maps above search results that tend to favor Yelp, TripAdvisor, etc. Google offers hotel and flight listings above search results that tend to favor Booking, Expedia, etc. Google displays AMP-enabled websites (a Google technology) above search results that are agnostic about how a web page is displayed. Google displays tweets for individuals (thanks to a beneficial relationship with Twitter) above search results that tend to favor LinkedIn, Facebook, etc. $&…$&
