- Comment on Sainsbury’s boss defends decision to sell customers’ Nectar card data 10 months ago:
Create anonymous UUID, store interactions against this in a separate table, ensure PII is removed prior to storing
which is more or less exactly what netflix did -> the whole thing's not that hard to find on google
but you need something to distinguish users at least a bit or the data's equivalent to sales figures
you combine that "not-quite-pii" with other independent data sources that have similar "not-quite-pii" and build a complete picture
- Comment on Sainsbury’s boss defends decision to sell customers’ Nectar card data 10 months ago:
anonymising data is a treadmill problem
what might work now won't hold up to the de-anonymising techniques of a few years from now
so no, you can't really

- Comment on Confiscate properties from rogue landlords, says senior Labour MP 11 months ago:
this seems like a circular argument
most of the value you seem to be proposing could be lost comes from the fact you can rent out a house for profit
- Comment on Confiscate properties from rogue landlords, says senior Labour MP 11 months ago:
Landlords provide a service
do scalpers provide a service of letting you go see a concert?
It’s no different to renting a car
cars depreciate, houses do the opposite
also, nobody has ever had any issues with the car rental industry
Were cars as scarce as homes
golly i wonder why homes are so scarce
landlords are leeches because I don’t like them
good thing "i don't like them" hasn't been given as the justification for anything then, isn't it?
- Comment on My friend on social refuses to see how this is a pyramid scheme 11 months ago:
how could you know the total participant count is 37 ahead of time if you're currently looking for sign ups
also, a book exchange of 37 people doesn't strike me as particularly "huge"
- Comment on My friend on social refuses to see how this is a pyramid scheme 11 months ago:
but pay it forward can work in theory
this can't even work in theory because books entering the system 1 at a time and leaving the system 36 at a time requires 35 books to be conjured out of thin air
