每日新闻摘要：TrueCaller的隐私含义

TrueCaller is an app for Android and iPhone that’s useful for identifying spam callers. When someone calls you and it turns out to be spam, you mark it that way, and anyone else using TrueCaller sees a warning.

TrueCaller是一款适用于Android和iPhone的应用程序，可用于识别垃圾邮件呼叫者。 当有人打电话给您，结果证明它是垃圾邮件时，您用这种方式进行标记，其他使用TrueCaller的人都会看到警告。

Alternatively, you can provide the real name attached to a number if you happen to know the person who called, which makes the service a bit like a crowd-sourced phonebook you share with everyone. But it’s the shared function that has some disturbing implications.

或者，如果您碰巧知道打给谁的人，则可以提供电话号码的真实姓名，这使服务有点像您与所有人共享的众包电话簿。 但是共享功能具有一些令人不安的含义。

A broadcast journalist named Chloe detailed how the app outed her and could have potentially put her in danger. Due to the sensitivity of her work, and the fact that she often travels to places hostile against journalists, she keeps a low profile. She doesn’t appear on screen, restricts her use of her social media, and so on. When she arrives in a new country, she buys a new sim card and phone number to speak with sources.

一位名为Chloe的广播新闻记者详细介绍了该应用程序如何使她失望，并有可能使她处于危险之中。 由于她的工作很敏感，而且她经常到敌对记者的地方旅行，所以她保持低调。 她没有出现在屏幕上，限制了她对社交媒体的使用，等等。 到达新的国家/地区后，她会购买新的SIM卡和电话号码与消息来源交谈。

Imagine her surprise when she used her phone to call for a cab, and the cab driver asked about her job as a journalist. He showed his TrueCaller app, which identified by her name and where she worked.

想象一下，当她用手机打电话叫出租车时，出租车司机问她作为记者的工作时，她感到惊讶。 他展示了自己的TrueCaller应用，该应用通过她的名字和她的工作地点来标识。

When she called a source, the app pinged them to tag her number with an identification. They put in her name and media outlet. That action spread her identity to anyone using TrueCaller. If the country had been hostile to journalists, she could have been in serious trouble.

当她打电话给消息来源时，应用会对其进行ping操作，以使用身份标记她的电话号码。 他们输入了她的名字和媒体信息。 该行为将她的身份传播给使用TrueCaller的任何人。 如果该国对新闻工作者怀有敌意，她可能会遇到严重的麻烦。

The problem here is that TrueCaller doesn’t ask permission to add a person to its database. When provided information, it doesn’t reach out to the owner of the number with an invite, confirmation, or even a method to check the accuracy of the information.

这里的问题是TrueCaller不会要求将人添加到其数据库的权限。 提供信息后，它不会通过邀请，确认甚至检查信息准确性的方法与号码所有者联系。

Imagine for a moment if every time you sent a letter to a friend, they could check a box that handed out your name and return address to everyone else who receives mail from the post office. It’s a similar concept.

想象一下，如果您每次给朋友发送一封信时，他们都可以选中一个框，将您的姓名发给您，并把地址寄给其他从邮局收到邮件的人。 这是一个类似的概念。

TrueCaller has a method to unlist your phone number, but if somebody marked you number as spam (a distinct possibility with RoboCalls), you can’t use it. For most people, the way TrueCaller handles other’s people data without consent may not be a huge issue. But for anyone who needs anonymity—or just likes their privacy—it could potentially be a huge problem.

TrueCaller有一种方法可以取消列出您的电话号码，但是如果有人将您的电话号码标记为垃圾邮件(RoboCalls很有可能)，则您将无法使用它。 对于大多数人而言，未经许可，TrueCaller处理他人数据的方式可能不是一个大问题。 但是对于任何需要匿名(或者只是喜欢他们的隐私)的人来说，这可能是一个巨大的问题。

This isn’t the first time this topic has come up. Years ago, an app called Mr. Number shut down its similar crowd-sourcing feature when Google changed its terms of service. That change specifically states “we don’t allow unauthorized publishing or disclosure of people’s non-public contacts,” and remains in effect to this day. Which means TrueCaller’s functionality seems to violate those terms of service as well. [ifex]

这不是这个话题第一次出现。 几年前，当Google更改服务条款时，一个名为Number先生的应用关闭了其类似的众包功能 。 该更改具体指出“我们不允许未经授权的发布或披露人们的非公开联系人”，并一直有效到今天。 这意味着TrueCaller的功能似乎也违反了这些服务条款。 [ ifex ]

• Microsoft may be working on a dual-display device: According to “sources,” Microsoft gave an early preview of an upcoming device to some employees.

Until we have something more than unnamed sources, the latter seems just as likely as the former. [The Verge]

In an unexpected turn of events, doctors had to put out a fire in a man’s chest during surgery recently. The astounding part is, once they extinguished the chest fire, the rest of the operation went well, and the man was unharmed.

出乎意料的是，最近在手术中，医生不得不将火扑向一个男人的胸部。 令人吃惊的是，一旦他们扑灭了胸火，其余的手术就进行得很顺利，并且该人没有受伤。

The fire came about from a series of unfortunate events. During heart surgery, the doctors cracked opened the man’s sternum, a normal part of the procedure, and discovered parts of his lung stuck to the bone. To continue with the surgery, the doctors needed to move those bits of the lung which had air-filled blisters. While they were detaching the lung from the sternum, they managed to pierce one of the blisters, which of course caused an air leak.

大火源于一系列不幸的事件。 在心脏外科手术期间，医生破解了该男子的胸骨，这是手术的正常部分，并发现他的肺部粘在骨头上。 为了继续进行手术，医生需要移动那些充满水泡的肺部。 当他们从胸骨上取下肺部时，他们设法刺穿了其中一个水泡，这当然导致了漏气。

When this happens, surgeons turn up your anesthesia and add oxygen to the mix (as much as 100% oxygen), so you don’t drown. And then, with an oxygen-rich area, the tools they use to cut through tissue caused a spark near a dry surgical pack. The only result could be fire.

发生这种情况时，外科医生会给您麻醉，并向混合物中添加氧气(多达100％的氧气)，因此您不会淹死。 然后，在氧气丰富的区域，他们用来切穿组织的工具在干燥的手术包附近产生了火花。 唯一的结果可能是起火。

After the surgeons calmly put out a fire in a man’s chest, finished the surgery, saved his life, and left him none the worse for the ordeal (what have you done this week?), they decided to investigate if this had occurred before and discovered multiple matching cases.

在外科医生平静地向男人的胸部开火，完成手术，挽救了他的生命，并使他的苦难无济于事之后(本周您做了什么？)，他们决定调查这种情况是否在之前和之后发生。发现了多个匹配的案例。

Amazingly, in every case, the patient came out of the ordeal unharmed. It does leave one wondering if perhaps something should be changed to prevent future chest fires. In the meantime, when it comes to multitasking under intense pressure, I’ll bow to the greater skills of surgeons everywhere. [Gizmodo]

令人惊讶的是，在每种情况下，患者都毫发无损地摆脱了痛苦。 的确使人感到疑惑，也许应该改变某些方法以防止将来发生胸火。 同时，当涉及到承受巨大压力的多任务处理时，我将向各地的外科医生展示更高的技能。 [ Gizmodo ]
