Well, except that this (sub-)thread was about how "identity" is a misleading word to use in this context, which is why I read falcolas' comment as a justification for why it is actually not misleading, which is why I focused on how that justification falls short.

If that comment was not meant as a justification, the only interpretation I can come up with is that it's a description of what empirically happens nowadays when something commonly called "identity theft" occurs, in which case I agree it could charitably be read as a reasonably accurate description ... however then it seems like a completely pointless comment, as that is essentially just the premise of the whole discussion, restated in a context where it has no specific relevance whatsoever.

Did I miss something?

Though I also think that criticizing people who use misleading language is legitimate as well, even if the meaning of what they are saying is perfectly clear, as long as you don't confuse the criticism of the form with criticism of the content.

I am not saying that everything Marx/Engels ever said was correct.

To reiterate. My specific point about Marx is this. Given capital, given private property – his analysis/critique about for-profit capitalism is correct. And critique pertains to essentially free and fair markets, let alone markets distorted by too little or too much regulation or markets distorted by cartels, oligopolies, monopolies, cronyism, and so forth. Marx's point is that even when capitalism is operating in its _ideal_ state it is a system where wealth will inefficiently accrue to a minority (the rentier class) and where those who do not have a handle on the means of production will get progressively more exploited because -as your turn of phrase goes- profit. It's that simple.

I was going off my memory of stormfront situation. Apologies if I incorrectly cited number of data points. I still am not concerned about the GP’s issue given the CEO expressed remorse and created a debate. It’s hard to imagine neo-nazis doing such a thing themselves should they create a cloud front competitor.

I agree they should remove ISIS sites. It’s marginally harder given you could argue it’s about religion/politics, but I’m happy to lump them in with neo-nazis inciting violence.

It’d be nice if you could create some perfect set of clear rules that you could cleanly apply to 100% of sites. Unfortunately the world is squishy and gray, which is why we have judges despite countless laws written in legalese that build on top of each other’s precedent. I don’t expect judging content to be the same. I appreciate the CEO thinking they should just defer to when gov forces them to shut something down. I also appreciate the perspective of removing extremist sites — you got one life to live so why not make a difference creating barriers to _EXTREME_ hate/violence around the world.
The cost is inflated to what the insurance market will bear in the US, with no market pressure like that in India and people paying for what they use you have a much more realistic price.

Europe too develops a lot of tech[1]. And uses it for a lot less than the US.

In France (Paris area), the price for a dental visit including 1-2 xrays is €42.00[2]. This is the pre-negotiated rate between dentists and the state insurer. Dentists are free to charge more but they must display prominent signage indicating they don't follow standard rates.

I understand where you're coming from, but the market share doesn't really figure into my argument of coverage. If the idea is "should I adopt or not," and I like gaming, then the % coverage is a highly important statistic. I can still step back and say "well isn't that nice, Linux has 1/3 of games ported and only 500 people use it! Good for them!" Won't change the fact that I need to use windows if I want to play all games.

The Android that competes with the iPhone and Windows Phone devices in the market at large is the Android that either has Google Play Services, or occasionally has a much worse (privacy-wise) Chinese alternative suite.

The Android you get without Google Play Services are more like Firefox OS, or Ubuntu Phone, or chrooting into Debian and calling that your "OS", interesting things for developers, but not really what the average end user would consider a serious phone option that's even on their radar.

This just goes back to the cost disease problem we observe in health care, education, and housing in America.[1]

My takeaway from the discussion is that the big cost inflators are:

A) Litigation. Not that you can screw the customer without consequence everywhere else, but it makes the same conflict much more expensive and uncertain. In other countries, malpractice is handled by regulation, so suing over anything not covered by the regulators is virtually impossible.

B) Lack of transparency; no one knows how much something should cost, and why, and what they're getting for the more expensive option, and also have the incentive to reduce it, so cruft can persist.

You might be tempted to explain the difference by labor costs, which are higher in the US, but labor is also more productive in the US which should mostly cancel it out. Plus, in India they probably have to pay more for the equipment, which further mitigates the locality effect.

Well, Amazon is likely using Google's YouTube API. When you use the API, you have to have an API key registered with Google and send all of your API requests with it. Google likely just banned the key, and given the potential for legal action, no corporation is going to try and "trick" Google by registering a different API key, spoofing their identity, etc., particularly since it's high profile and very easy to identify that Amazon has done something of the sort.
Many times, I feel this.

Really though, caring about what the problem is and trying to solve it means: 1) you work slower, 2) you ask a lot of questions, 3) you push back on things. Basically you're spending more mental effort trying to encapsulate what the problem is than the stakeholder.

Those things will often make people either hate you or think you're bad at your job.

Thank you.

If you don't mind another dumb question, is the benefit great enough for the hassle of complaints and the possible compromise of ostensibly private information?

There are self-hosted solutions, but I imagine they'd entail experts to interpret and implement. I wonder if they could just do A/B testing and get the same results or if they could simply do surveys? Though, I suppose those come with new faults, variables, and expenses.

Again, thanks for the answer.

Interactive AI with Tom Cruise
Putting aside every other disturbing issue about this case, the claim about the "security of IT assets" quoted below strikes me as very odd - why should an algorithm for matching DNA have any inseparable IT security issues? The response is so self-serving that I would not be surprised if someone is being disingenuous in her explanation to the court as to why the request is being denied - perhaps through an invalid argument from the specific (some source code has security issues) to the general (source code may have security issues) to the specific (we suggest that this particular source code has security issues).

From the article:
The medical examiner’s office denied the request, citing its “sensitive nature” and writing that “source code consists of information that, ‘if disclosed, would jeopardize the capacity of [OCME[Office of the City Medical Examiner?]] to guarantee the security of its information technology assets.’”

So on the one hand this is terrifying. On the other hand, how many of those companies existed 10 years ago? Our industry is exploding in size currently. If your industry is doubling every X years, then after 2X years it is impossible that the people who were working in the industry 2X years ago will be in the majority. The new people have to come from somewhere, and they almost always come fresh out of college. So the average number should be way far down. You're taking the average width of a triangle.

What I'd be more interested in, is percentage of people at each age still employed in the industry, that haven't left.

So, for example, if there were 1 million developers in software in the USA in 2000. What percentage of those developers were still developers in 2010? 2017?

What percentage left the industry?

> Two veteran entrepreneurs are running a little startup built around making it easy to build web and mobile applications from day one that make data impossible for a digital trespasser to read. In fact, it encrypts data in such a way that even if you use some company’s service, that company can’t see what you’re doing with it.

Is it? Not that I'm questioning Keybase, I just had no idea they were offering some type of encryption-as-a-service thing. I thought key base offered encrypted identity management, along with some encryption focused tools (kbfs, and now chat). Of course, I don't know/use key base - hence why I'm asking.

Can anyone go into more detail on how key base is offering this service:

Medical providers in the US do not compete on price. There is in general little to no price transparency, as everything is traditionally paid for by private insurance. So as a rule, dentists will charge the maximum allowed by private insurance for x-rays.

In the US, people are complaining more and more about the cost of healthcare, but usually in terms of the cost of insurance. They never ask why providers charge what they do (p.s. - if you're in the hospital, don't ask your nurse to bring you a tissue, just buy some from the gift shop).
And surely, nobody in the basically unregulated cryptocurrency world has ever done that, right? Bad actors are bad actors, and it’s disingenuous to point at some and ignore others.
Nice work team. I've been on Keybase for a while but I've only recently installed and started using Teams on iPhone and Mac and both the apps are very polished and easy to use. Definitely a lot easier than posting up my key and waiting for someone to email me encrypted text ;)!

I think the strategy of decentralising the data is a good one for enterprise apps like this, where there's typically little value from the perspective of the business user, employee user, or service provider from holding the data. Lots of data is great for driving personalisation and other features in a million+ person network but not really in cases like this one.

Hopefully this is a pattern that will keep working its way into enterprise apps.

Xiaomi's MIUI has this feature, you can use different fingerprints to directly enter a "2nd Home" or something where all apps / data is segregated. It's not really designed to be too stealthy though as there's ways to switch back to the regular homescreen.
Oh, okay.

I was actually referring to your kvm and kvm-sys crates, through it seems that some of the memory management stuff is closely tied to that. I ask because I tried to build a kvmd daemon using the kvm-rs crate that's out there, but ran into some issues. At the time bindgen was not quite up to the task of handling the kernel headers itself as well.

> The virtio wayland I designed is intended to be somewhat agnostic of the underlying wayland protocol for simplicity. It just passes along the protocol bytes to the host's wayland compositor. In order to share FDs with the host (to support e.g. buffers and keymaps), crosvm has a mapping of virtual file descriptor IDs known to the guest kernel to host FDs that get passed along to the wayland compositor.

Okay, I guess I'm more asking how software running on the VMs are accessing buffers on the GPU which are managed by the Wayland server, as I don't see anything in the virtio folders referring to this. I guess this is just using some kind of shared memory region then? I'll have to look at it more later.

Also, this low-level Wayland really seems like it could be a standard way to access GPUs through a hypervisor, maybe something that could be implemented by (k)qemu or others.

> We considered it, but for our application, 9pfs was not going to be optimal. That being said, we'd welcome patches that added support for it. :)

Yes, and I might try to get to that sometime. I really like the approach starting with vmlinux and not a BIOS implementation, anything to make the OS boot faster in the VM is good.

> The ARM support is rather preliminary. crosvm will compile for ARM but it has yet to succesfully boot a VM.

Understood.
Do you think pharma companies that develop this are going: "we will develop an X-Ray machine, and only Americans will pay for it"?

I would assume they try to get a profit anywhere they sell it. Which means $20 x-ray is a realistic profitable cost per x-ray. But the US healthcare is so broken that they manage to extract 10x more money out of it.
