Mozilla launches privacy-focused browsing data sharing platform Rally

 Mozilla has launched a new privacy-focused data sharing platform that provides users with more control over their data and enables them to contribute to a better Internet.

Mozilla launches privacy-focused browsing data sharing platform Rally


Mozilla recently collaborated with researchers from Princeton University to establish a data sharing platform called Rally . This new platform focuses on privacy and transparency, but also allows users to choose who they want to share their browsing data with. Sharing data with research institutions helps to establish new resources, tools, and even policies to build a better Internet and a better society.


The researchers behind each project will have higher-quality data, have a clearer understanding of data sources, and will follow relevant data privacy regulations.


Mozilla sees Rally as the "first-in-class" platform to solve the thorny problem of data control. According to Mozilla's own research survey, many users are frustrated by the lack of choice when it comes to handling their data. In addition to using anti-tracking tools to block all data collection, or simply allowing online services to use all data, users have few other options.


Mozilla said : "Through Rally, we have built an innovative, user-oriented data sharing platform that puts power back in the hands of users. By leveraging the scale of web browsers-software used by billions of people around the world , Rally may help solve social problems that we could not solve before."


At present, Rally is only for Firefox desktop users who are 19 years old and above in the United States. In the future, Rally will gradually be promoted to more markets.


Eligible users can install the Mozilla Rally plug-in on the Firefox browser. Researchers will provide detailed explanations on what is the focus of each study, how your data will be used, and the ultimate destination of the data. Users have complete control and can call out their information when they want.


Mozilla also launched a new toolkit called WebScience based on Rally to help researchers establish browser-based standardized research on Rally.

Defination of the essential properties of operating systems

Define the essential properties of the following types of operating sys-tems:  Batch  Interactive  Time sharing  Real time  Network  Parallel  Distributed  Clustered  Handheld ANSWERS: a. Batch processing:-   Jobs with similar needs are batched together and run through the computer as a group by an operator or automatic job sequencer. Performance is increased by attempting to keep CPU and I/O devices busy at all times through buffering, off-line operation, spooling, and multi-programming. Batch is good for executing large jobs that need little interaction; it can be submitted and picked up later. b. Interactive System:-   This system is composed of many short transactions where the results of the next transaction may be unpredictable. Response time needs to be short (seconds) since the user submits and waits for the result. c. Time sharing:-   This systems uses CPU scheduling and multipro-gramming to provide econ...

What is a Fair lock in multithreading?

  Photo by  João Jesus  from  Pexels In Java, there is a class ReentrantLock that is used for implementing Fair lock. This class accepts optional parameter fairness.  When fairness is set to true, the RenentrantLock will give access to the longest waiting thread.  The most popular use of Fair lock is in avoiding thread starvation.  Since longest waiting threads are always given priority in case of contention, no thread can starve.  The downside of Fair lock is the low throughput of the program.  Since low priority or slow threads are getting locks multiple times, it leads to slower execution of a program. The only exception to a Fair lock is tryLock() method of ReentrantLock.  This method does not honor the value of the fairness parameter.

What is the MES system? 12 Important Questions Answered

 What is MES system? MES is the execution layer between the planning layer and the on-site automation system. It is mainly responsible for workshop production management and scheduling execution. A well-designed MES system can integrate management functions such as production scheduling, product tracking, quality control, equipment failure analysis, network reporting, etc. on a unified platform. Using a unified database and connecting through the network can be used for the production department, quality inspection department, Process department, logistics department, etc. provide workshop management information services. The system helps companies implement complete closed-loop production by emphasizing the overall optimization of the manufacturing process, and assists companies in establishing an integrated and real-time ERP/MES/SFC information system. The main functions of the MES system: It provides flexible and powerful tools for enterprise production managers to monitor and m...
