Yes this is a clear cut argument. The fact that the brain is hidden under the skull allows people to make statements that people's brains are all the same and its just effort after that. I think generally they are correct but there are outliers, most likely similar in proportion in terms of the traits that make NBA players in rarity in terms of intellectual gifts. I have met only 2 genius people in my life and the difference was so strikingly obvious that there was no doubt. One was a child prodigy in music and the other was a brilliant programmer that did string theory in high school. I also played basketball in my youth with a kid that made us all look like goofy idiots playing against him (but later drugs did him in) and swam with a swimmer that could lap everyone in the whole league but I do not know what came of him. It is a gift to see these people and undeniable when you experience this but for the vast majority of us, hard work and sheer will makes a huge difference in our own outcome.

I find the notion of a do-not-track registry disturbing. It would actually become an identifier for you that could be used to link all the disjointed information collected under that identity. Kind of the opposite of what it's intended to do.
My own personal view is that some attributes are mostly fixed, and some are not, and it's pretty hard to tell which is which.

Sometimes you need to struggle for a long time through stuff you aren't any good at to get to something you are good at. I love reading and read very quickly, with above average, but less impressive compared to speed, comprehension.

But it took me longer than usual to learn to read. I assume because I'm terrible at memorization; and to learn to read, you need to memorize enough words that you can start puzzling out the words you don't know from context. I would not have done well if I had given up on reading because I was inherently bad at one of the prerequisites.

On the other hand, I spent a lot of time trying to run a business... and that turned out to be something I didn't get good at after a decade of trying; so yeah, sometimes it's best to give up early, but it can be really hard to predict which side of that equation a particular problem is on.

No, you're still not correct, because the problem with your claim isn't simply that you have to be a larger company to face prison time, but that there's only one offense in the bill that includes that thread: knowingly certifying fraudulent data protection reports. I'm like the 4th person on this (broader) thread to point that out, and this is at least the 3rd time I've pointed it out to you.

By the way, did Flappy Bird even collect NPI? Or is this an even sillier example?
Isn't that what the"Start folder windows in a separate process" setting is for? More stability at the expense of more memory and less responsiveness. In the days of Windows 95 it was actually beneficial to not do that. Nowadays, not so much, I guess. Although it's been ages that Explorer crashed on me. Not having too many shell extensions probably helps here.
Some do, some don't, in my experience (there are many scions of the ruling class who choose to do little).

But that's all irrelevant in any case, because the issue in question here wasn't working or not-working, but having to work to be permitted to live. Most of us have to. The ruling classes don't.

>(2nd Sunday in March - 1st Sunday in November)

Adding calendar qualifications like that to the times makes it even more complicated. To use another commenter's example about "valid hours of parking" printed on narrow street signs, there's no space to append long conditional text (like your suggested verbiage) to the times.

Also, the DST change date isn't stable. Over the years, the DST date boundaries have changed: from the last week in April -- then to first week in April -- then to March. The DST rules may further be refined to be always or never.

Did you look at my link to my previous message? The business hours on the window was only one example of complexity.
Wow, it's great to be able to finally connect the dots on that one, so thanks for the explanation. I guess either there is a subtle reason why it would be a bad idea to update the old-style handler, or they just never got around to it. Either way, I'm just glad the titlebar isn't being drawn twice at all times.
What about when the gov. is the hacker ?
That has a common use case of not wanting your phone ringing in a meeting.

People expect their computers not to listen to them when not actively using the mic. Your switch is the program that records you, a second is redundant and confusing.

>Has Apple security record on electronics been ever broken

Absolutely. It was possible to trigger the mic/camera on older Macbooks without turning on the green LED. This led to people being spied on without their knowledge (by script kiddies, not nation-states). More recently, there's the unlocking of the San Bernardino shooters' iPhones.
Need more details! Was it the cab driver, or did they send an employee to meet you at the airport?

I've heard old stories of interviews where you park the candidate somewhere, and get the janitor to come by and drop something, or ask for a hand - and they see how you respond. Was it like that?

We'd rather be entertained then listen to some boring talk about a product we don't really care about.
Almost all of Apple's security features are invisible and by default and don't get in the way. They're striking the balance between user experience and security.
>But if the sale of your product depends not on its quality, or its benefit, and is so influenced by a "gut feeling" and irrational association of your brand to an idea, then what gives? The whole thing devolves into "who can advertise best" instead of "who can build the best thing".

Ding ding ding. Advertising is deception. Arguments otherwise are dancing around the issue. The whole point is to make you do or buy something that you otherwise wouldn't, and the ways they resort to to make you do this are getting ever more insidious.

When you see beer ads, they don't actually advertise beer. Their job is to implant the idea that beer will make you fun, attractive, that without it you're missing out on incredible life experiences. That if you just go out and get some you will leave your drab miserable life behind and dance with a smoking hot girl in a sunset. That all those beautiful, young, fun, attractive people are laughing and having fun and having beer. It's all about manipulating your weak mammal brain to make you buy stuff. It's manipulative and immoral.
Show HN: Above-average products selling for below-average prices
This code has a significant and common flaw: If the token is cached, it invokes the handler synchronously.

You should never design a function with a completion handler that sometimes invokes it synchronously and sometimes asynchronously. That can cause all sorts of problems, the simplest of which is a caller that expects it to be asynchronous and ends up performing work out-of-order because the handler was invoked synchronously.

The final form of the code in this article accidentally fixes this, by moving the work it does onto a background queue, but this just introduces a separate flaw: it performs the callback from its internal private queue. This isn't necessarily a problem, except in that it will block any other work from running on that queue unnecessarily (as it's a serial queue), but in more complicated code, having external code running on your private queue can indeed cause problems.

---

There's also another issue, which is that if the AccessTokenService gets deinited before the loader calls its callback, the callback is dropped on the floor. In general, you should not design a function that takes a completion callback with conditions where the completion callback is never fired. There's 3 reasonable behaviors that could be implemented here:

1. Have the callback keep the AccessTokenService alive. It's pretty common for networking operations to keep themselves alive while executing, so this is probably the approach I'd take.

2. Have the AccessTokenService fire all of its pending completion handlers with an error in deinit. The error should ideally represent the notion that the operation was cancelled.

3. Change the AccessTokenLoader completion handler to look more like the initial version, where it still calls the callback even if self is nil. With the pending completion handlers approach, this requires moving the pending completion handlers into a reference-type wrapper and strongly referencing that from the AccessTokenLoader callback. In this case, that's pretty much the same as approach #1, so you should just go ahead and use approach #1, but in a more complex class this approach might have some utility.

You could legislate that. Or you could simply legislate government office and school hours and wait for private industry to match the behavior.
I think you're completely misinterpreting this.

> All the great chefs know each other. Do right by one and they tend to hook you up with the others.

> Which is to say: if you’re lucky enough to be able to do the above, do not fuck up.

Bourdain is specifically saying there is not nepotism--that you must "do right by" a chef (in context, you must be GREAT at your job) in order to get hooked up with others--and the converse, "do not fuck up," because if you do, your bad reputation will now precede you. This is not nepotism--nepotism would be if he said "if you get a chance to work with a great chef, great, you're home free, because now they're your friend and will recommend you to other chefs regardless of how good/bad you are."
I've gone through a few applications/services like this - YNAB, Mint, and a handful of Mac App Store applications that tried to accomplish more or less the same thing. They all requested some sort of subscription or hit me with ads every chance they got. Auto-import features usually end up being lack-luster for me as well, forcing me to log in every time or something along those lines.

I've come to realize that for the gainfully employed, above-average computer user, Excel/Numbers/LibreOffce (but mostly Excel because of PivotTables) is probably the way to go for a few reasons:

- You're looking for a post-mortem/retrospective on your spending as a way to adjust habits accordingly, not a way to pay off huge debts (YNAB is actually quite good for this latter part, but that's not what I'm looking to do)

- You don't want some program's buggy workflows getting in your way when the data is /right there/ and basically just a table of CSV values

- You want custom reports, charts, and other things

- It's just really not that hard. Any bank will allow you to export financial data in CSV or a similar format.

I just export my data every month and do a post-mortem. Easy enough. No extra cost.
Yeah, good luck getting that passed, lol.

Does this work for image types that use lossy-compression, or just lossless (e.g. png, tiff, etc.)?
I've said it before, when it comes to mass surveillance,intentionally malicious backdoors and general societal loss of ptivacy, the solution should be primarly legislative not technical.

Good example: every store with a camera uses ML to identify customers and passerby's and shares this info with 3rd parties. Should we talk about how to best facial and gait ML analysis or is the answer simply criminally outlawing this practice?

Why can't I file a restraining order against big tech that states "if you identify activity and you correlate it with my identity,immediately erase it and take steps to avert similar activity data collection": because I feel bigtech's abuse of this data pauses a danger to my liberties and free excercise of my civil rights.

Modern privacy laws are overdue as it is and they need to be criminal,not civil.

Another one: ISPs would think twice about selling your celltower correlated location data and web/dns activity to 3rd parties if this meant jail time to the CEO. If this practice is outlawed with only fines and regulations as the penalty,the only person that can sue them is a well resourced attorney general or a very very wealthy person that can afford a multi year legal battle. Unfortunately,even when bigcorps break CFAA the FBI won't even listen to civilian complaints.
Groovy is a truly dynamic language (with all the pros and cons that come with that). So you can put it into contexts such as interactive scripting where Java will always be suboptimal and solve problems Java doesn't even want to solve. On the other hand, every single good idea that Scala comes up with will eventually be co-opted by Java, because there is no reason for that not to happen. It is just a matter of time.
there's only one offense in the bill that includes that thread: knowingly certifying fraudulent data protection reports.

That's what it says, but one would have to believe that failing to file such reports would also be a criminal violation in any final draft of the bill. Otherwise what would be the point of the bill? Does it make sense to you that they would have a bill like this, and provide a simple way to avoid it: just don't file? That appears to be an oversight by the author, but one would undoubtedly be fixed.

By the way, did Flappy Bird even collect NPI?

Since this bill uses a vague and legally untested definition of "personal information," simply maintaining weblogs containing IP addresses could trigger this.
>Rogers, who died in 2003, spoke out against commercialization aimed at children. “The question is not,” he once said, “what can we sell the children and families who use ‘Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood?’ or even ‘What can we give them?’ but rather ‘Who are they?’ and ‘What do they bring to the television set?’”

> He thinks you have to "save" to "invest" later.

Because that's the truth.

You can't just produce "things" out of thin air so the idea that you can finance future production without (someone, somewhere) deferring present consumption is not really valid. All interest is is an incentive for people to defer present consumption for a higher level of future consumption.

Unless, of course, you just print up a bunch of money and then you aren't exactly "borrowing from the future" but taking from the current holders of the currency through lower future consumption due to inflationary devaluation of the currency [--edit--] and also taking from the current holders of the currency by artificially driving up current prices.

You've now moved the goalposts past the present text of the proposal and into hypothetical future versions of it.
Whenever I'd start to dig into research relating to this, it always looked like there was plenty of documented interference by the industry. There's apparently a higher risk of a certain type of brain cancer, and fMRIs also show changed brain patterns (especially for children who have thinner skulls/highly developing brains) for many hours after cellphone use. There seems to be concerns being raised around the introduction of 5G now as well.
It's the idea of companies externalizing costs onto their labor force, because they refuse to recognize their labor force as "workers".

They avoid responsibility to communities they generate profits in, by exporting negative externalizes at a much higher level than traditional businesses.

Also, I don't think Uber drivers are 'unskilled'. The lowest rung is filtered out by not being able to bring their own $20000 vehicle to participate.
For me practically, I hate this time change. It is already getting dark a little after 5PM. Now it is definitely dark by 5PM. I work in a fairly windowless office. Not seeing the sun is depressing. I like having a few hours of sun after work, psychologically.
> If there was any risk of harm, we would see it by now

That statement feels a little problematic to me. Who's to say that possible effects aren't cumulative, maybe more exposure time is needed for big problems to appear, and maybe it's been contributing to smaller problems so far. Truth is, we don't really know enough to say that for sure.

Think asbestos and mesothelioma. The onset of that can be forty years after exposure to asbestos. That's roughly two generations. And a one off event can be enough.
My biggest problem with standard notes is the lack of support for inline images. I use it a lot when I am listening to online lectures (Quickly take a screenshot, crop and paste).
You’re saying there’s less status now than 15 years ago and you’re retired now? Can you talk about your experience, very interesting!
Merely having web logs with IP addresses would seem to qualify under the definition of "personal information" in this bill.
I'm not sure that quite right. You do need to make sure it is maintainable because (at least in the US), they needed multiple seasons to reach a mark that would allow syndication.
Status normally follows money (with enough gestation time). For the simple reason to get money you need to convince someone who already has it to give it to you.

The inverse is also true, while a Noble title will get you a good spot at a traditional restaurant in London - for the most part nobody cares now that they don't employ half the village.
Is there any other hardware running when the lid is closed?
The thinking of the body as a holistic system is where research seems to generally fall short, and likewise there are so many variables related to exposure - including each individuals' capacity to deal with cancer cells/damaged DNA, etc.

Edit: To add to this, when I was 8 years old my dad developed kidney cancer - or at least that is when they found it. He was a commercial airline pilot, which so happens to have a higher level of kidney cancer (probably other cancers too) due to being surrounded by electronics in the flight deck + exposure to more radiation; I can only imagine they've tried to improve reducing exposure as much as they can, however who knows if that means more direct costs and perhaps they don't care about indirect costs. I know power line workers and certain other professions have a much lower life expectancy as well, we also know that exposure to strong(er) magnetic fields like from MRI machines can disrupt pregnancy. Knowing all of this it's hard to come to the assumption that smaller quantities/exposures can't not have some impact with in the "right" environment.
There is already a lid closed sensor. Adding another mechanical switch is more expensive, adds another point of failure, takes space, may interfere with the aesthetics, etc...

The T2 chip probably also acts as a controller for a lot of the builtin sensors, including the microphone and lid closed switch. As a result, adding a feature to turn off the microphone when the lid is closed becomes trivial. Basically just add a logic gate between the two.
You're assuming that 2038 would be same or "better" than 2018. I'd argue it's possible that 2038 could be more closer to 1960 than 2018.

> I would love to see a light come on if the camera or microphone is receiving power, and then only turn on power to these devices when a program requests it.

Isn't the microphone a simple passive device no different than a voice coil in a magnetic field? I don't think it's that simple, since it won't be powered.

My understanding is that there's often a reconfigurable circuit in the sound chip which determines where the lines in and out are routed. So even if you've physically disconnected the microphone, but left internal speakers connected, it's possible to turn the speakers into a microphone via software alone.
Ah right,

> how do you create your models and what do you mean treating them as code

we start with local Jupyter notebooks, and refactor bits of code into modules that get tested, which for our models mainly means recovering parameters from simulations, and then test them on real data, where we assess performance with LOO approximations for Bayesian models (notably PSIS) and some labeling from experts (which is not taken too seriously tbh)

> why slurm and not something like airflow

because the HPC resources we have access to are built with Slurm, which is super fast, supports DAGs of jobs, schedules our jobs reliably and quickly. I don't really want the other stuff on the Airflow feature list to be honest.
