I understand what you're saying and agree that it's difficult to achieve real transparency. I believe that companies can and should do a better job of helping users understand what they're doing with data. I just wonder where the line is when you're talking about inferred information that a company can independently guess based on information you've agreed to disclose.
I wonder if the espionage act will suffice, or whether they'll need to make up some new laws here?
"poster on HN"
Key takeaways:

1. Before Ms. Sandberg’s Senate testimony, Facebook lobbyists pushed lawmakers to refrain from questioning her about privacy, censorship and other issues, and to stick to election interference. The committee’s chairman, Senator Richard Burr, Republican of North Carolina, was swayed and warned members to stick to the hearing’s planned topic, The Times reported Wednesday.

2. Facebook had also lobbied for the hearing to include a Google emissary of similar rank to Ms. Sandberg. Mr. Burr invited Larry Page, a Google co-founder, but he did not show up.

3. In an email days before the hearing, a Definers employee pressed a Times reporter to write that Facebook was taking the senators’ concerns seriously while Google was irresponsible for skipping the hearing.

4. The day before the hearing, NTK Network reported that Senator Marco Rubio, Republican of Florida, had suggested that Google was possibly a monopoly.

5. Those pieces were just two of at least 11 negative items NTK has posted about Google since late March.

Facebook really seems butthurt about Google. Instead of learning from Google about being transpernt on how they use user data, they basically dragged Google in the controversy, and I would say they have been pretty successful.

I'll give you some absurd and ridiculous details.

When the WL backend for collateral murder was hosted at bahnhof in Sweden, moving it to .CH was among other reasons done because of certainly the US, and specifically & allegedly homeland security having launched a DDOS attack so strong it could have kicked Sweden offline.

When US agents started their smearing campaign against Assange in Sweden, they accidentally added smear to wikipedia that did not happen yet.

In Brussels, WL volunteers where threatened by US agents with silenced pistols in a parking lot.

Various so called "influencers", mostly academics and activistic people where payed to spread the false US narrative regarding everything related to Assange.

Its not realistic to act like people have time to price compare for emergency medical services. It just isn't a normal free market so much as it is like a mugging. When you get mugged the question is how much will you trade for your life, and the answer is everything you have. We need to stop pretending like it is a free market and trying to apply free market solutions that do not apply.

> $10,000 cash.

One thing to note, the state income tax rate in Tulsa is 4.44%, so if your business makes $100,000 a year in profit, expect to pay around $4,500 in state taxes. I live in the great state of Tennessee with zero state income tax, and I'd much rather be in Nashville than Tulsa.
Who cares about the payoff? Startups will still pay you a good enough salary, and if they don't why would you even consider working there? It's not like startups don't pay a salary at all.

And if a startup does pay well, why is it risky to join? Worst case scenario it folds and goes bankrupt in a year. It's not like there's a shortage of software jobs that you'll be unemployed for a long time. Also, for people who want to become founders in the future, joining a startup is their best option to learn about how businesses are built and what mistakes to avoid in building said businesses.

So not everyone is joining startups just for the payoff or to make it big. People are way more realistic than that.
Why do people need CPAP machines, why can't you simply sleep on your side? Most primates instinctively know how to sleep in the best positions (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1119282/) humans insist on sleeping on their backs which other primates instinctively know is dangerous.

I’m a bit skeptical about this report. Share prices drops after hours don’t necessarily mean drop in prices, if anything prices should be looked over a weeks time.

Another point, crypto was never a cash cow for Nvidia which makes their point quite silly. Spreads on power efficient cards were really small.

> Why do people need CPAP machines, why can't you simply sleep on your side?

Because they have issues which require CPAP machines.

If I sleep on my side, the apnea situation improves slightly, but it does not go away at all. Do you think that people would prefer to deal with a bulky and unconfortable machine, as well as doctor appointments, if they could simply sleep on their sides?
Though the information is also valid to all the folks in the photo who aren't you. Hence they are discovering information about people who have not offered information nor consent to this algorithm.

> My own theory of how depression works is that it involves an inescapable realization that your model of reality is broken and can't be used to make predictions that allow you to effect the change you want to see in your life. You wanted to be happy, society gave you a bad model to work from, and the mind's reaction to discovering that this model doesn't work is depression.

You should read the book Lost Connections: Uncovering the Real Causes of Depression – and the Unexpected Solutions by Jonathan Hari. I read it this summer, and it completely overturned how I look at depression (and other mental health issues). I truly believe that a lot of them (not all, mind you; there's also a lot of over-diagnosis) stem from a breakdown of what made us human, particularly relevant in American culture. It's a very interesting read.

In addition to the other person commenting on the five indicted in Saudi Arabia are scapegoats for MBS, a different set of people in US government attempted to trade the permanent resident guy Turkey wants to kill/shut up in exchange for having Turkey shut down the Khashoggi investigation because it's embarrassing to Saudi Arabia.

I don’t think we can infer anything about Assange’s political views from the 2016 election. He strongly opposed both candidates but running Wikileaks in a principled way is obviously more important to him than who wins an election in the US.

Here is the main problem with this line of reasoning. Canada is not captured by a huge pharma/medical industry like the US is.

If we do this we will have even less recourse and there will be even less accountability when regulatory capture happens and prices are driven up even higher because all the lobbying money can be focused like a laser now on this one board that we are going to create to manage everything.

The current system is totally fucked, but once the price concerns are made a tragedy of the commons through taxes the medical industry will be able to drive prices even higher just like how the government isn't allowed to negotiate drug prices for medicare right now. How can you not see the insane level of corruption already baked into the system when we have a policy currently where the government can't negotiate drug prices? How fucked up must the system be for that to have ever even gotten to the stage of being considered as a serious proposal, much less implemented?

Without attacking the corruption in the system I just don't think sweeping it under the rug and throwing it on the deficit is a reasonable plan.

I mean WOW the comments here are snotty against Tulsa. Relatively little discussion of the incentive itself, the fact that a single private individual is paying for the incentive (!!), or other dynamics of relocation to cheaper, easier towns for remote work.

I visited Tulsa a few months ago to just check it out. I enjoyed it greatly. The Tulsa Gathering Place is absolutely unreal for a free public park. There is enough going on there to make it a worthwhile place to move to for a few years. A considerable amount of very high end architecture and art there.

I am doing a multifamily development with similar (not nearly as generous) relocation incentives tied in through a medical district. Very interesting way to move the needle and encourage shifts in living. For most cities, this is a much cheaper way to approach affordable housing as well.

It's a little more complicated than that. Again, I'm not political. I just know a good bit about the military system.

The military needs its own medical assets so it can treat soldiers in times of war. For security purposes, it needs medical facilities and medical personnel under its own control. It isn't sufficient for there to be sufficient civilian facilities.

Military dependents get free medical care in part to keep doctors busy with real cases during peace time.

Military members and their dependents cannot file malpractice suits. There are people who are very unhappy with this fact. Mistakes do happen. When they happen, you don't have recourse to sue and this is a point of contention for some people.

They also have world class facilities. If something goes seriously wrong, you can get referred to one of their regional hospitals.

I'm alive in part because we happened to be stationed at a base with a regional hospital when things went badly sideways for me. It served military personnel in eight states. It was a teaching hospital with connections to UC-Davis Medical in Sacramento and, I think, Stanford in San Francisco. I had testing in both cities. I got a cutting edge diagnosis. That was a turning point in my life.

For the record, I think we need a single payer system in the US. The current civilian medical system is seriously broken.

Perhaps it's a regional thing, but professional cooks seem to be more often male when I notice them. In particular, I'm thinking of small husband/wife shops where the wife is likely to be the waiter/cashier/etc. (All of those roles rolled into one job.) Perhaps I don't notice the other combination?

I of course agree that traditionally the woman is more likely to cook at home.

If this sort of assessment is the case against Assange (in terms of his character as a journalist), then I think he has a very strong case.

> The leaker was not protected. She was caught and prosecuted.

You're talking as if Assange or WikiLeaks disclosed the source.

Are you suggesting that a journalist has a responsibility to protect a source unto the ends of the earth, even when that source openly and flatly confides in an (in retrospect, untrustworthy) friend that she has leaked what she knows to be classified material?

How exactly was Wikileaks supposed to respond? By somehow tracking down Adrian Lamo and ensuring that he didn't report her? I'm just astonished at this part of your indictment.

> The data was not protected. WikiLeaks was hacked and leaked all the raw data.

"Hacked?"

WikiLeaks published the entire cache of documents - and I celebrate them for it. I have personally read over 600 pages (probably a thousand at this point) and I have yet to encounter one of them that I, as a United States citizen, believe was rightly withheld from my view by my government.

WikiLeaks took care to redact some proper nouns from these documents, but provided unredacted versions to some journalists, along with painstaking, easy-to-follow instructions about preserving them. Nevertheless, a (much more ostensible respectable) journalist at The Guardian posted the passphrase and the files were leaked.

In what universe is this a failing of WikiLeaks OpsSec? "Hacked"? What can you possibly be talking about?

The only security compromise about which I'm aware on the part of WikiLeaks was a problem with their web frontend which briefly allowed a group to change it to a juvenile message. No documents were involved.

> The content was not shared in an objective way. Assange editorialized the content with his own opinions (ie Collateral Murder).

...so? What's wrong with that?

Let's keep things in perspective here: a person flying in a helicopter intentionally fired an explosive missile at a person standing on the ground. I know we're all pretty numb to this happening at this point, but I think it's still pretty shocking when you think about it.

Maybe he did think that he was firing on someone carrying an RPG. So? It's still a crazy act, carried out during an illegal war. Calling it "Collateral Murder" doesn't turn me off in the slightest.

> There's a reason why Ed Snowden didn't give his leaks to Assange.

I appreciate the way that Ed Snowden conducted himself. He took a different approach and one that is welcome.

I also think that Ed Snowden's criticisms of WikiLeaks are substantially more honest than yours. Can you explain why you've characterized these things in such a strange way?

This is the most utterly ignorant thing I have read all day, which is remarkable if you knew some of the things I read on facebook.

I almost think it was crafted. Oh I'm sure someone was really on jury duty, but that doesn't preclude crafting and opportunistic use of someone who was really on jury duty.

I have to assume that unpacking and listing all the plot holes would just be preaching to the choir here.

TL,DR: "I originally had one opinion based on no thought at all, just random luck that I felt one way, vaguely, for no actual reason, as a result of no substantial examination or consideration of the problem. Then one day a bunch of important-looking Authority Figures forced me to hear their propaganda in a controlled and impressive setting, and I totally bought it, because having no thoughts of my own, I am effortlessly impressionable."

No, these are feelings that men actually have, without anyone telling them anything. And this is a perfect example of how people are often completely unsympathetic with men when we do complain about our problems.

I'm not even close to the bottom 10% of men, and I don't feel like I get much attraction from women. It takes a lot of work and failures to even get a single date sometimes. This is a really shitty feeling and is one of the biggest causes of me feeling down. It can really make one feel like a worthless person sometimes.
