Keurig's new K-Rounds coffee pods are plastic-free and could finally make single-serve coffee-making sustainable

  • ESE pods have been around for quite a while now, and they've been a great alternative to Keurig.

  • You can also order ESE pods straight from the region of Naples, Italy, they're pretty good.

    Is there such a thing as a data broker map?

  • Money is clearly being made using our personal aggregated data. Search for "data brokerage market", and you'll stumble upon articles and PR along the lines of "Data Brokers Market Estimated to Reach US$ 462.4 billion by 2031", for example: https://www.globenewswire.com/news-release/2022/08/01/2489563/0/en/Data-Brokers-Market-Estimated-to-Reach-US-462-4-billion-by-2031-TMR-Report.html

  • I'd like to reverse engineer, where they get the data from, in the first place. But thanks for the great resource!!

  • Let me take a real life example here. Let's say I'm worried about SIM-swapping schemes, and I go and get a phone number for my banking, and my banking only. If THAT number suddenly shows up in the midst of the 123+ so data brokers, then clearly, me getting a phone number dedicated to avoiding SIM-swapping, is useless. That's one of the use cases. Makes sense?

  • 100% agree when you say "there aren't any PIs at work here", since we're talking about data aggregation from multiple sources. My thought is: given data aggregation of PII is largely legal, then equally, publishing of creative PII is also legal.

    So, regularly feeding creative PII for obfuscation, for protection from unknown 3rd-parties, requires knowing the sources communicating your data. At least, the main sources.

    So, this is probably naive of me, but so far I haven’t really been able to find the answer on the web.

    Recently I subscribed to a personal info removal company called Incogni, only to find out that they sent a staggering 123 removal requests on my behalf. I never imagined there were that many companies in that business. So far in 20 days, 70 requests have been fulfilled, but 53 are still pending.

    Which made me wonder… given my personal data seems to be sold, re-sold and re-re-sold without my express consent, or ability to opt out… if I knew I’ve informed my legit service providers, plus those I have legit obligations to (employer, state, etc.)… how easy would it be to obfuscate it on a regular basis, by simply providing a new, creative address, to entities I don’t get mail communication, or deliveries, from?

    So, has anyone tried to trace the map by which a new address, cell phone number, etc. makes its way through the 123 or so data brokers? What are the ‘input nodes’ to that graph?
