@swodinsky I'd say that the original link you posted is vastly overstating what they can do. What's the marginal impact on ad targeting or news feed from visiting one website? And probably your icky feeling is because this is the same technique used in some forms of ad fraud

@arimirian Congrats!!

[Eric Zeng @_ericzeng]

@ericlaw Could it be emitting bluetooth or AirTag-compatible signals that nearby devices can pick up on?

[1/x]: Well, odd moment to reappear on Twitter, but I've got a good reason: I'm thrilled to have joined the faculty of @KhouryCollege at @Northeastern as an Asst. Prof! tl;dr: I'm recruiting PhD students, get in touch and apply if you want to work with me! (app deadline 12/15)

I was an intern at Twitter many years ago, and I was so impressed by how smart the people were, the scale of the infrastructure, and the genuinely positive company culture. Insane to watch Elon destroy all of it in a matter of weeks

[Eric Zeng @_ericzeng]

Oof, things are looking pretty grim on here. If Twitter goes down and they can't figure out how to turn it on again, you can find me at @[email protected]

@__apf__ Part of that strategy was also reframing my training goals from hitting X miles a week to doing 2-3 runs a week at 150bpm for 30/60/90 min

[Eric Zeng @_ericzeng]

@__apf__ I think it's fine to walk the hills, my training strategy is to maintain a consistent intensity/HR zone and change the pace based on the terrain. When I trail run in the mountains, I hike any steep climbs moderately fast and it's about the same intensity as running!

My research is not about security or privacy, but a secret third thing

@EarlenceF Makes sense! I'm drawn to a light ebike that feels agile for the fun factor, but maybe I should just leave that for my road bike

[Eric Zeng @_ericzeng]

@EarlenceF It has a 7-speed version! Curious about how you feel about increased weight coming from a light road bike. My initial thought is I want an ebike that is light enough to feel like a regular bike but not sure if that's worth compromising on the other features!
