This is the claim of the article.
Talking about telemarketers, I think I have read a nice article about this topic at https://www.whycall.me/news/my-4500-payday-from-a-telemarket.... It's nice to see tech companies which are willing to help customers to fight against spammers. I really hope that the government will take this telemarketing call problem seriously.

> Both of these two things are untrue, but especially the idea that technology is inherently un-private and can never be so.

I'm sorry, but I think you need to start with a list of ways you think people can use technology which has a high degree of certainty of being and remaining private.

Because I can't think of any.

Credit cards are an abomination. ISPs and wireless carriers know way too much metadata. Every social media company is a horror show. The ability to uniquely identify your browser across sites is terrifying. NSA's Carnivore. Keyloggers. Zero day exploits in the OS, in the browser, etc. Row hammer. Spectre and Meltdown. Elemental Technologies. SMS authentication and account recovery. Every online store knows way too much.

https://xkcd.com/538/

I mean, there is literally no way to even secure your IDENTITY:

And even if you do everything perfectly, Equifax might screw you, or Oklahoma:

https://www.forbes.com/sites/thomasbrewster/2019/01/16/massi...

So, can you list maybe one or two things in technology you think are strong-guarantee secure and private?

And I'm not saying to give up. This is the fight of our lives. But right now we've LOST. We need to think about how to start over, to try to win next time.

If you look at the only expected traffic problem area, i5 at 90, it's much worse the gridlock is a black and deep red and stretches red a good 3/4 of a mile north and south in the right hand picture. The evening one looks horiffic knowing those maps well like I expect a major pile up to cause a map like that. I was out of town this week but looking at that chart I'm figuring out how I want to time shift Monday given how bad it looks.
You’re completely correct, Vegan is not low-carb. It is not the intake off carbs that make obese, imho it is the intake of sugars that cause the epidemic obesity. The average glycemic index [0] of a meal determines the effects of carbs, low GI is good and high GI is not good. A meal with large amount or percentage of carbs can be very healthy and not leading to obesity or type 2 diabetes as long as the Glycemic Index is low. And, above all, a Vegan meal can be very tasty and healthy at the same time.

>>a friend that is a resturant owner told me that if a dishwasher applied for a job using suspicious but superficially consistent documents with all the blanks filled in, he could be penalized for asking for further proof. He knew he had illegals working for him, but had a file drawer full of correct documentation in case the INS came calling.

Ya think? :) Of course he knows, everyone knows. Even La Migra knows. Who is going to wash dishes for $x an hour and not complain? In US that's slave wages. So every once and a while they do a little raid here and there but otherwise close both eyes and ears. Good for them, good for USA.
In my experience, architecture requires broad but not deep knowledge of data structures and algorithms. The best architects have both, but even very good architects struggle to remember algorithmic tricks on the spot and write detailed code without tools or references. People who can do that easily are often the last to think of things like fault tolerance.

My own experience confirms that article's point (for myself, at least) as a negative example. I tend to, maybe because of my academic background, view the end of a project as always on the horizon, never near. That subtlety in my mindset I think affects the way I approach work. I constantly want to reactor, rebuild, and extend the functionality of projects rather than focusing on just wrapping up the damn things and moving on. I recognized this earlier, but dont think I fully appreciated its impact until I read this article.
The real question is not about whether mobility is valuable or not, it is about how valuable it is. When it comes to infrastructure development, we throw tons of other people's money at the problem, but if drivers were paying their full costs via gas taxes and congestion charges, how much demand would there be? This article suggests that driving demand is a lot more elastic than we like to claim.
> preponderance of people on the internet who are unqualified to rebut what I'm saying

Let's make a deal. You don't say things you're unqualified to say (by this I mean anything that implies that your anecdotal experience has significant weight for persons other than yourself where it is in conflict with actual scientific studies and understanding of an important medical subject), and I won't give unqualified rebuttals to them.

> My only desire is to be able to engage in meaningful discussion on the topic.

IMO, this is not the place for meaningful discussion about your heterodox scientific theories. I believe those types of theories are best discussed with experts on the subject, which we are not. I believe it is actively harmful for you to be putting them forward in a place where nonexperts might engage with them and themselves come away with incorrect views. That is why I am replying to your comments in this way.

This is a point of disagreement and conflict between you and me. I'm sorry that this conflict makes you feel bad, but I'm not sorry for my views themselves.

Of course, I'm not the boss here. You can (and do) write whatever you want. I'm just sharing my views on the appropriateness and correctness of what you've posted.
Spot on. Let's just say I knew better. Seriously.

There was absolutely no way these companies were not going to exploit the crap out of both their position and data.

None.

How were they all built? As fast as possible, growth first, etc... I expect these kinds of things to boil down to risks and costs, ideally paid after the enterprise is big enough to deal.

And a whole lot of us know it too. How else was it all going to go?

I am a realist. There is no real privacy online. One can get close, but doing that is a lot of work, takes understanding, and is still a bit of a risk.

Long ago I realized it is better to just not put things I can't live with online.

Frankly, I won't do that electronically, unless it is very worth it.

Edit: It is all still pretty new. We are leaving the honeymoon time. Bad things will happen, so will more regulation, and that crank will get turned a few times.

My expectations are super low right now. That could change, but not yet.

I dispute both your use of the word "science" and your characterization, "a biased sample of confirmation bias."

The whole point is that research conducted with a lot of money on the line is often not science as you and I know it. It's not curious, dispassionate application of the scientific method with clear, honest reporting of the results.

And, ideally, your social graph is not merely "a biased sample of confirmation bias," but instead an interwoven web that connects to the entirety of living human society and which helps you glean truth about the world. I realize that Facebook isn't this. But give it time. We are all interconnected and capable of learning from and teaching each other and the internet is young.

There's no reason in 2018 - and certainly not in the decades to come - to blindly trust any research funded by, for example, a large agricultural company, pharmaceutical company, or government.

Checking results against lived experience is one check and is not perfect. Analyzing the research itself, to the degree that that's practical, is another.

I'm not saying that the solution I've outlined is sufficient, but I feel confident that it's necessary.
Kind of disappointed that they don't include this kind of analysis as baseline. Especially that the types infer by traditional algorithms are usually sound, which is not what you can say for ML-based methods (so far).

"obviously not true"

If you want privacy, you must first have security, and no system is secure.

I mean, just for starters, there are a constant stream of zero day exploits in OSes and Browsers that would allow me to install a keylogger on your computer, completely undetected.

So why are you so anti-cynical?

The situation is dire.

I highly recommend "Daemon" and "Freedom" by Daniel Suarez, who was a Security Consultant.

Privacy is literally life and death for people. I think trying to minimize the dangers is reckless.

Cheers.

The only things I've seen that causes complete gridlock in Seattle were a freak snowstorm/ice at 3pm, a butane truck closing i5 and major arteries downtown and Obama. And Obama wasn't that bad most of the time. But those were literally no one can move anywhere nor can people reparj and stop. This is know and plannable.

Seattle has a remarkable amount of work hour flexibility in the short term. They closed 90 a few years back for a week, asked 50k to stay home and iirc got around 110k who did.
In my experience IRC is absolutely the worst place to ask technical questions. You have to be there at the same time as someone who knows the answer, you have to stick around and be ready to respond if someone replies, all the while multi-tasking to filter out all the other conversations in case the responder doesn't use your nick in the response, once you get a response you either have to clunkily weave your conversation into a bunch of other chat or use a direct chat, and the chance of anyone else ever seeing your question and locating the answer is tiny, going to zero if you use direct chat after the initial response. And as the author says, you can't paste more than a line of code without breaking netiquette.

A close second is mailing lists, which the author does mention. I think it's pretty well established that the only way a mailing list can be pleasant to read is if every single participant is uses the same mail client and formats their responses identically, taking great pains to format the exact same way, which has never happened.

You're saying then that women with CF have a persistent, chronic, but undiagnosable infection.

Note that if, as a medical researcher, one managed to identify an underlying causal agent for CF, that would be career changing.

Also, your vaginal dryness theory is only true if CF-related discharge works as a responsive lubricant. That could be, as you suggest, due to a difference in kind, but it could also be a change in composition, differential overproduction, or a complex interplay of several other factors.

"The whole point is that research conducted with a lot of money on the line is often not science as you and I know it. It's not curious, dispassionate application of the scientific method with clear, honest reporting of the results."

You're talking to a working scientist with a substantial amount of grant funding.

"And, ideally, your social graph is not merely "a biased sample of confirmation bias, but instead an interwoven web that helps you glean truth about the world. I realize that Facebook isn't this. But give it time. We are all interconnected and capable of learning from and teaching each other."

I don't know why you're taking a jaded, skeptical approach to science, but an idealistic one to your social graph. Your social graph is biased. It just is. Homophily and communities are things for a reason.

"There's no reason in 2018 - and certainly not in the decades to come - to blindly trust any research funded by, for example, a large agricultural company, pharmaceutical company, or government."

You have just described, especially with that last one, all research.

"Checking results against lived experience is one check and is not perfect. Analyzing the research itself, to the degree that that's practical, is another.
I'm not saying that the solution I've outlined is sufficient, but I feel confident that it's necessary."

While I think critical engagement with science is essential, "checking it against lived experience" is comparing your biased anecdotes to study results, and trying to draw a conclusion from that. That, itself, is not science, and is absolutely the fuel behind things like the use of "As a mother..." in antivaccine discussions.
Please provide a rebuttal on the comments individually if you care to disagree. This comment was just alluding that any technique is ever good enough for HN. People just want word of mouth and their resumes to be enough. That doesn't work when resumes lie.

Medicine agrees that all people with CF are chronically infected. That part is not some novel theory on my part.

I don't have a vaginal dryness theory. My point is that CF is genetic and impacts all cells of the body. The way it works vaginally and in the lungs ought to be consistent. Women with CF consistently report vaginal dryness. They also report vaginal discharge. This discharge appears to not be mucus, given the rest of their testimony.

The reports of women with CF concerning their reproductive tract should cast some light on lung function and is not consistent with prevailing theories that people with CF are "drowning in their own mucus."

So uncomfortable to read. We all like to pretend that death's not a thing until it becomes unavoidable. I think the mentality of a human being is built to be deeply anxious of the possibility of changes in circumstance, yet adaptable when possibilities become certainty. Everyone I know who has faced life-altering circumstances eventually adopts a new life. I suppose those terminal are the same. A lot of shit probably just doesn't matter anymore, because it can't.

We throw a bunch of other people's money at K12. I suspect most families would buy fewer years of schooling if they paid the true cost.

We throw a bunch of other people's money at the military. If people had to pay the true cost of America's autonomy, they'd suck it up and learn Russian.

The compelling cost argument, IMO, is that a subway system could offer more mobility at the same price point.
