> Union culture can be significant though.

Union culture is as antagonistic in France as in the US (for the same reasons that corporations are antagonistic) and it not only has multiple GOA4 metro systems running right now across the country[0], Paris is actually converting existing lines to full automation.

All of Germany (which has a much more cooperative union culture) has two GOA4 lines both in Nuremberg, meanwhile Copenhagen Metro (in highly unionised Denmark) was created fully automated back in 2002.

I see no evidence that unions have anything to do with it.

I think the web route is the way to go. HTML will offer that initial struggle of making sure the syntax is perfect for the computer to understand. This is a struggle that experienced programmers (including me) tend to forget.

Good luck! I've been teaching my wife Python (she's already got some scripting experience in bash). It's a good learning experience for you too. I find where she is really lacking is seeing the "big picture". She can't think several moves ahead. So she'll never be a great programmer, but hopefully it will help her day to day at work.

You can hide music from your library. Apple put out a support page on how to do exactly that something like a week after the U2 debacle.

For the latter, it says that deleting something you haven't downloaded will hide it from your purchase history as well.

Per the linked articles, unions are intertwined with the corruption. This wouldn’t be the case if unions were politically touchable. As long as there enough voters who will always say, “unions aren’t the problem”, they will be part of the problem. They get money for nothing and nobody blames them.

Massachusetts just eliminated all toll plazas in the state and those workers were highly compensated and unionized. Many of those workers were retrained for other positions.

There are ways to make the union happy and the workers happy it just takes longer term thinking which governments and voters are frightently bad at.
The labels have ownership in Spotify [1]. If any disruption comes from the aggregation of their own content, the labels will profit.

The labels will not pull the plug on Spotify as it represents too great a portion of future industry revenues.

You are correct about dealing with Spotify's competitors. Tidal and other streaming services are the labels best shot at reducing the leverage of any one player (Spotify or Apple).

You can't create an account with them, transfer in $50M worth of stock, and transfer out the USD all in the same day.

Frankly, I'd be fairly surprised if you could even transfer $50M into a self-serve account the same day your account is created - likely some compliance and human-intervention guardrails would slow this further than transferring several thousands of dollars worth of stock. But even so, USD transfer is going to take at least a day.
Does it live up to the recent new-found hype it's been getting? Do you have fond memories of it?
Not that it matters, but I wonder how many people tried the trial and forgot to cancel their subscription. I had went running back to Spotify before my trial period had ended, but didn't remember to cancel my subscription until about six months later.
This feels straightforward to me.

The you that is now, pre-preservation, will be dead.

The you that is then, post-restoration, will be alive and believe and behave as if they are you.

It's convenient that this process (as described) kills you, because that simplifies things quite a lot. Scanning is more complicated, and I suspect if technology ever arrives that allows for it we will treat such scans as "heirs of the body" -- meaning they will only have such assets as you give them, although of course the IRS will still find a way to get them to pay your taxes.
Are there any good 3rd party apps for browsing Apple Music? I've been trying Apple Music for a couple of months, and I really like the fact that I can access this giant catalog, but I think the UI for browsing / discovery is not very good.

Any recommendations?
I think your perspective is a bit narrow. If you consider each individual person, [3] is indeed nonsense. However, the impact of many hacks comes disproportionally from high-value targets.

Some high-value targets (e.g. key infrastructure, parts of government, major enterprises) have dedicated security teams, and can come up with a pretty decent response if given the appropriate information. Divulging vulnerability information widely, in particular, may or may not be a net benefit to them. (Consider e.g. Linux vendor vulnerability lists.)

Other high-value targets (e.g. journalists, human-rights activists, etc.) are utterly outgunned by their adversaries (who can afford to buy or find new vulnerabilities), and can only hope that something causes vendors to consistently write software that's sufficiently-uneconomic to exploit. In the sufficiently-long run, proponents of full disclosure would argue, anything that increases the cost of shipping vulnerable software should help these users.

(Disclaimer: absolutely not speaking for my employer here.)

I signed up to play with it on a homepod, I generally still think it's a lot worse than Spotify (particularly when you consider Spotify's discover weekly playlist).

Plugins offload a lot of culpa and work from the browser. Though obviously since browsers have taken on tasks like readability mode and popup blocking, they have made decisions here.

Oh, and one more case that's interesting -- we know the "embalming" process fixes things such that you are now dead. However we don't know what the reading process looks like yet.

I haven't thought about that very hard, but it raises fascinating possibilities.

I don't really want to write callback-driven code anywhere, but even for simple definitely-not-thousands-of-concurrent-connections kinda problems, the typical language's standard library operation of "do this one thing and wait indefinitely until it's done" gets fairly annoying, working around it with threads is also annoying, and I'm just kinda hoping that the people working on making the async IO user experience better will accidentally make my life easier as well.

Fair, but how do you continuously put people under stress using only words on a screen? The comment you originally replied to asserted that "There's no words that can make robots out of people", and so far you've provided counterexamples that use many more things; none of which are restricted to internet comments.

Keeping the original topic in mind, we're talking about online comments. Not cults, not marines, not anything other than words on screens.

Congratulations on the launch!

I hope you take to heart the privacy concerns here. In case you haven't come across it, here's a useful thread from last year about Unroll.me's datamining and selling of customers' inboxes, and the general trust problem for services like yours:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14179077

Frankly I'm not sure what it would take to convince me to open up email text access to a 3rd party service at this point.

You have to convince me not just that you (Fil, Lambert and Matt) are trustworthy, but also that the three of you can't be bought out by someone less trustworthy (bearing in mind that your customers may well be worth more to a shady business than they are to you!), and also that you're competent to run a hugely valuable database without ever making a mistake (quoting tptacek in the above thread: in your place, "I would be terrified.")

I don't know how you would crack this, but on the risk-of-hacking side as a user I might be looking for technical reassurance -- say, that you're running entirely locally instead of storing my email on your server in the first place, or that you're only using temporary email access to store sentences with k-anonymity or client-side encryption, and that your privacy model has been published in detail for review.

On the risk-of-purchase side you could look at Keith Porcaro and Sean McDonald's idea of the Civic Trust, where a private company's data is owned by an independent trust that can protect the interests of your users, separate from the vagaries of your business model:

Sure, NNs "could" do that...but they are far more likely to just memorize a bunch of stuff when someone who isn't well versed with ML just applies an out of the box solution to a problem, looks at a simplified cross-validation number (I hope) and assumes that NN is better than some simpler model.

If the OP had actually posted a blog talking through things he did and how the NN helped and why he believes it is actually learning something useful and not just learning the noise, then this would certainly be interesting. But I've seen far too many people take powerful, flexible models with a large number of parameters and throw them at simple problems, with insufficient data and thought.

I'd normally give someone the benefit of the doubt...but taking the sum total of the quality of the linked web page, the complete lack of any meaningful information, as well as op's reply to my comment that added no real useful information regarding the actual benefit of throwing deep learning at this, I'm still inclined to stick to my original feelings regarding this post.

> These vulnerabilities are all post-compromise privilege escalation flaws

I would say they are all invasive evil maid threat vectors. Each one requires either physical access to the hardware or (as you stated) an already established root privileges. We all know that if you have physical access to hardware, it's essentially game over.

However. One of the vulnerabilities supposedly allowed to subvert UEFI secure boot. If that's true and allows to boot arbitrary media, then the others are equally feasible, because an attacker can boot into a root shell of their choosing.

The timing in this disclosure reeks of malice, though. Giving a 24h advance warning basically allows the outfits to claim that they disclosed vulnerabilities to manufacturer before going public. Technically true. Just highly misleading and dishonest.

I have personally no beef with full disclosure, and have advocated it as a viable mechanism since the mid 1990's. I also happen to think that responsible disclosure is a good approach, but it definitely needs the threat of FD as a stick, because otherwise vendors would not have any real incentives to work on addressing security bugs. Name-and-shame does work.

Let's get back to AMD flaws. Giving a really short window? Basically just enough to have an initial PR response ready? Have the decency to go full disclosure. Or give a full month. AMD won't be fixing the bugs before news breaks in either case. Just don't claim this is anything but a maliciously crafted exercise with ulterior motives.

Well, he's upset. After all, when you support a project for years, you convince your friends to switch, participate in the community, maybe write some extensions, and then it removes one of the main reasons you have ever been using it, you get upset. It's understandable... I used to have strong feelings about it as well. You say that Mozilla didn't kill their extensions lightly, etc. But still they didn't think to make 56 a LTS release to allow us a breathing space of at least a year of security updates until we decide what to do next. Going 4 releases back for someone who's used to be on the bleeding edge is quite daunting.

I like lambda for API's when used along side the serverless framework. Makes deployment of a simple SPA and rest API really simple as you don't need any manual configuration of AWS everything is setup for you via cloud formation. Also makes hosting really cheap as you don't even need one EC2 instance running for minimal support when not in use.

Only real downside so far is there can be some spin-up delay of a couple of seconds for the first consumer of your API. Not a big deal in my scenario of mainly a backoffice type app.
