Sure. The extreme outlier here is the guy who has sex with you and then draws your attention to his lesions while saying "I'm going to die, and so are you".

The non-extreme non-outlier is the guy who has sex with you without saying anything.
> So how many individuals and organizations do I need to get permission from to install something on my phone?

The problem isn't about installing something on your phone, it's about handing over every single private communication you have with others without getting their approval. It contradicts your first assumption that people have _opted in_.

> All these privacy histrionics are supplanting all other individual rights, personal accountability has to break out of this permission loop, even legally speaking, otherwise no one would be able to do anything.

Are you're suggesting that no consent is necessary for you to put other people's private information on sale?
I'd say the weirdness is still there. There is probably even more weirdness than in the old days, but these days it's dwarfed by the boring stuff.

Remember that weird stuff is only weird when you have something boring to compare it with. Did we even think of the old stuff as weird back then? I don't really remember, but I don't think so.

Today you can go to Mastodon to find funny and weird stuff. I'm having fun on there, and I really like weird stuff.
That number looks wrong. It can't be the case that thirty thousand people die in mass shootings every year in the US.

This reminds me of my client.

We have SBI as our client and often they raise issues to us. Most of their technical staff is a joke, coz they don't even follow the basic etiquette during a call.

For ex - The engineer from SBI allowed me to have control of her server, and in a carefree manner called her BF. She knew I would take about 45-50 min to fix her issue, so she went on gossiping with her paramour in the regional language, and all of her lovey-dovey talks were audible to me loud and clear. She didn't even bother to mute her mic. In the same state of passion, she went to have her lunch without bothering about me (She's supposed to be at the server while I am working). After some time her server got locked coz I was pondering over the notes from my computer. I had to wait for the next 30 min for her to finish her lunch and be back at her cubicle to unlock the server.

It's interesting to overlay Tesla 2014 - 2019 with Apple 2002 - 2007. Now what Apple did from there will be tough to match (not to mention the margins): https://ark-invest.com/research/tesla-through-the-lens-of-ap...
Man... fundamentally because we aren't all trying to invent things ourselves any more. We inherit so much. And it gets us to production faster, but it also locks us in on how things work.

One toaster... you can adjust all the dials, but as a result you get burnt toast. One toaster... it's locked in, but makes near-perfect toast every time (assuming you like toast that way). Which do you use?
For those billions, Apple links to the Google search results page in Safari when you type a query in the iOS system search field. That page includes Google search ads. According to the 2017 annual report, Google made $77 billion in revenue from “Google properties revenues”, which is mainly search ads but also includes other sources such as YouTube. Ads served by Google elsewhere (such as AdMob or DoubleClick) aka “Google Network Members’ properties” are only $17 billion. Search intent is an extremely strong signal for ads even with no personal information, although the ads are probably personalized if the user is logged into Google in Safari.

$9 billion is the “traffic acquisition cost to distribution partners” in 2017, which includes payments to Apple as well as other entities that send people to Google properties. This cost comes out to only 11.6% of the associated revenue. It’s likely that the amount of money paid to Apple is contractually linked to the revenue Google gets from ad clicks that can be tracked back to a link from Apple.

So there’s really no need for theories about the abstract value of user data here, it’s a simple referral fee for the ad clicks that are Google’s main business.

I plan out the month in advance, instead of buying things in the moment. I might say "I'll get a new pair of shoes sometime this month" then fit it in my budget, instead of randomly choosing to buy shoes when I see them.
Absolutely. Its not like you will have one less person in the cloud. You'll still need the same amount of people (maybe more!), but they'll just be doing different things.
Do you know if the factors insurance companies can consider is regulated? It seems like it would have to be to ensure pools stay large.
Deleting Facebook isnt enough to get traction on the privacy front. They now will turn instagram and WhatsApp into those invasive ad machines.
What about Mac, which supports multiple accounts probably better than Windows ever did (due to Unix underpinnings)?
It's not just guarantees; it's also stuff like people having their homes declared "blighted" so that they can be taken away: https://beltmag.com/blighted-by-foxconn/
At my current role we looked to moving from Rackspace to AWS or self hosted. The cost difference between AWS and Self Hosted was easily 2x as much for the former. And Self Hosted was faster! Plus you get better control.

Sure there are challenges, but when there are issues, we can figure it out. We don't have to wait for support.
The RAM does not know anything about locking, it's the cache coherence protocol. The CPU will request a cache line in exclusive state, it does the operation on the memory and ensures that during it has always been exclusive to that core. After all the other cores will observe the change (and depending on the memory model+ordering, the operations that have/will happen before and after).
Was your Honda 50,000, which is I think the minimum to get the tesla self driving features? I believe with paying for the 5,000 option you get no self driving features on the tesla, just old school cruise control.
After everything that FB has already lied about, the repeated examples of dark patterns, shady practices, the "dumb fucks" quote, is it really far-fetched to think that Zuckerberg would lie about this too, if he thought he could get away with it?

Who's going to prove him wrong? Does anyone else have access to FB internal metrics? And what's the downside to lying? Worst case a slap on the wrist fine and a drop in stock price?

Zuck has repeatedly demonstrated himself to be the type of person who will absolutely take advantage of any situation without any kind of ethical qualms.

I'm not saying he's lying about this too, but it wouldn't surprise me in the least, SEC or no.

At what point does this become considered treason?
The author of the article does not stipulate that the axiom system has to be recursively enumerable. From the article:

We assume it to contain the basic Peano axioms of arithmetic. An axiom system is complete, if every true statement can be proven within the system.

The theorem in the article is true for recursively enumerable axioms systems that contain first order arithmetic.

EDIT: Note that the second order Peano Axioms are categorical but not recursively enumerable. This is also an axiomatic system that has finitely many axiom schema.
I dont think this is an accident.
I spent a good number of years working on the Health IT side of things - as Technology Implementation Manager having built El Camino Hospital, as a Technology Designer for SF General, and in other capacities in building, designing, operational go-live etc for other hospitals....

One thing that I never hear discussed in these areas are the costs of technology sold to hospitals and the cost of consumables over time.

What was the price of aspirin in 1980, 1990, 2000, 2010...

Or gauze, or many many other things?

What was the amount billed for that common thing that has been around for decades?

What is the meaning of a "hospital grade television"? and why is that device as more expensive than its consumer counterpart?

Look at all the technology systems and devices sold to hospitals... Yes I am familiar with the economics of them, and in many cases its BS.

(not all), but many.

Then look at the number of skilled employees that a hospital must employ for it to work - and look at their wages.

So, this article talks about the outcomes, and quality and volume of care, but doesnt seem to take into account the inputs of cost that are required for an organization to run.

Then, on top of that - these are companies, seeking to make profits - and the rates for coded services are a huge negotiation issue between insurance and the hospitals. Yet, I don't see any regulation for prices on standard services which is true and meaningful.

If there is one thing that the United States is masterful at doing: its lying to the population about the effectiveness of regulating the cost of a service in any industry, when simply looking at the regulation of service costs in any other comparable developed nation proves that NO regulation of costs is actually meaningfully achieved.

so, yes - tech will be on the upswing - but it has always been on the upswing, that never been a concern. What is NOT on the upswing is actual progress in health costs.
From the article it sounds like they were planning to manufacture large screen TV's. That does make some sense because the cost of shipping large items often outweighs the cost advantage of manufacturing overseas.
> Are you're saying this from a short-term financial perspective?

Absolutely. Tesla's risk isn't long-term at all. Its all about the short-term risk.

Just think about Tesla's debt schedue.

* CUSIP 83416TAA8 -- $188,058,000 of Solar City Debt on November 2018.

* CUSIP 88160RAB7 -- $920,000,000 of Tesla Debt on March 2019. (Not part of SolarCity, but it has to be part of the calculus).

* CUSIP 83416TAC4 -- $566,000,000 of Solar City Debt, on November 2019.

Imagine how much easier 2019 would have been if Tesla didn't have to worry about $740 Million of Solar City debt coming due.

As a result, Tesla's CapEx spending (ie: building factories, buying factory equipment money) has dropped dramatically.

That doesn't even get into the stock-dillution issue either. Millions of shares were issued, reducing Tesla shareholder voting power, and your representation of the company. Solar City investors joined with Tesla investors as a freebie, part of the deal.

---------

So now that we've talked about the costs of merging the companies. What exactly has SolarCity done for Tesla? Absolutely nothing. Tesla has been given hundreds-of-millions of dollars in debt, and millions of shares worth of dillution... with nearly nothing in return.

SolarCity employees and contractors were fired or laid off for the most part. SolarCity's deal with HomeDepot has evaporated. And finally the Gigafactory 2 is barely operational. The Solar Roof is years late and sales / revenue of SolarCity are completely ignorable.

Oh, and future Solar City debt will come due. There's also a 2020 bond due (I can't figure out how much it costs though). Its not like Tesla is close to paying off all that old debt yet.

We're looking at a ton of downsides with almost no visible upsides. Even after a year of waiting, all the touted "potential upsides" (Solar Roof, etc. etc.) are basically dead.

I don’t think it’s how we build websites per se, I think it has to do with how just a few websites have made themselves so phenomenally useful that they’ve eliminated the need for what I’ll call the “discoverabilty infrastructure” we used to have.

The first is Google. Google was such a phenomenally good search engine that you rarely needed to “surf” the web to accomplish a task. You could search “order a hand powered woodworking drill” and likely be taken to a page that let you do just that. Much of the discoverability of “fun, weird” stuff came from the “surfing” aspect of the web, Google vastly reduced that.

The second is Wikipedia (and the Wikia networks). Much of the wonderful weirdness of the early web was passionate amateurs compiling information, wrapped in their own design aesthetic (or lack thirst of.). Wikipedia as amazing and wonderful as it is, gets rid of the need to find these sites to answer a question about the world (again, reducing surfing behavior, at least outside of Wikipedia.)

The last is Facebook. So much of geo cities and the early web was the “personal website”- a Sort of combination of Facebook profile, blog, and experiment in web art. These sometimes grew into impressive little gems of content, but mostly they were terrible quips and “under construction” banners. Then came the Friendster->MySpace-> Facebook and LinkedIn transition, and the need for these personal sites dropped away. They still exist, but the interaction patterns for using fbook and LinkedIn are so much easier.

I feel like YouTube still has the early web experience to it. Much of the content remains the domain of passionate amateurs and the “up next” algorithm regularly takes me in serendipitous locations (and sometimes down some darker paths).

The fun and weird communities now seem like “islands in the net” if you will, they are there and probably larger than ever, but much harder to get to (or at least stumble upon), due to tooling that allows use to accomplish tasks without detours.
Yes, Same thing with any criticism of China.
For a different data point from an Australian resident—most people I know use iMessage or Whatsapp. Few people seem to use Facebook Messenger, the only person I know who uses it does so to communicate with one other person.
Apologies for that part, then. I just don't see standards compliance like other people do. Personally, I don't see standards as things that imply some kind of morality. They are tools to accomplish a goal. sometimes other goals may supersede their usefulness.
When things shoot up despote objective bad news about it, this is when people should start questioning capitalism. Fictitious values are the godsend for capitalists. You can create perpetual growth this way. Short.
Have you guys looked at the tidelift model in comparison?
Would love to hear thoughts there.
> I wonder how much economic stimulus to existing businesses would be created by dropping $15k into everyone’s pocket.

Probably not as much as just leaving $15k in everyone's pocket in the first place. It's really insane to think that they created a $60k liability for a family of 4.
Pretty neat. They've done that in Boston too to clear off ice on the Green Line.
Ah yes, I misunderstood your point.

Perhaps because I tend to think of policy in terms of overall implication rather than from my own standpoint.
I think they're probably quoting the chance over a lifetime, assuming rates stay the same. According to Wikipedia, 382 people died in mass shootings in 2018.
Seriously? Tesla interiors have a high tech feel, but they are pretty spartan and lack luxury I expect in a $100k car. You can get into a 3 series BMW and it's got a higher quality interior than any Tesla.
There are roughly 30000 gun-related deaths per year in the U.S., but far fewer from mass shootings as you say https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/gun-deaths-mass-shootin....

You can also see the gun deaths broken down here.

If the user submits a GET request to DDG from the commandline with Javascript disabled, then all results links are prefixed with the address of a DDG server, e.g., https://example.com becomes https://duckduckgo.com/l/uddg=https%3A%2F%2Fexample.com

Whatever the reasons may be for this decision, it allows DDG to track all links that the user follows from the results page. That is no better than Google. It is not a privacy improvement in that regard.

If the user submits the request via POST, then the results are not prefixed. For example, if the request is submitted from an html form with method set to "post".

I submit that allowing users to GET (clean) results without using Javascript would be a privacy improvement over Google.
Not to mention that it would please many users who get frustrated when trying to copy links from a Google results page only to find they have been prefixed and loaded with Google url parameters.

Users deserve clean result links.

To see the difference between prefixed and non-prefixed result links:

curl -o a.htm https://duckduckgo.com/lite/?q=example.com

grep -m1 .=result-link a.htm

curl -o b.htm -d "q=example.com" https://duckduckgo.com/lite/

grep -m1 .=result-link b.htm
The Russian election influencing (not gonna call it hacking because it's not) is not a theory. It's not on the same level as he birther BS which is total fantasy. Of course Russia are trying to influence US elections. Why wouldn't they?
from 2014. I'm only pointing it out to make it clear that the post wasn't recent. Not questioning anything else about it.
You're essentially saying that tens of thousands of dealers and hundreds of billions of dollars worth of car companies are going to go out of business because they can't find a mutually beneficial incentive structure.

It would be far from the first time. One of the biggest problems is for a company whose internal incentives and business model are based around one set of market assumptions to rethink it all and do something else instead.

Both The Innovator's Dilemma and The Innovator's Solution touch on this. The latter one in particular walks through how internal structures and incentives have caused company after company to fail to figure out how to sell products that they know consumers are buying.

The two most common problems being that it is very hard to cut your own margins to match a low margin competitor, and it is even harder to convince a third party sales distributor to cut their margins.

Anyways this is something that I've been aware of for close to 20 years. In another 10 years you'll be able to decide whether I was wrong.
This also means FB gets to taste what they cook up on a regular basis.

This is why what you do or say should be civil and heed to the fact that there are always 2 parties to any interaction, and both must be agreeable to each other or there can be no agreement.
It appears to be a routine tactic for Facebook. I guess it must work, so why stop?

> Facebook expanded its work with Definers Public Affairs, a Washington public relations firm, in October 2017 after enduring a years-worth of external criticism over its handling of Russian interference on its social network.

> Definers Public Affairs wrote dozens of articles criticizing Google and Apple for their business practices while downplaying the impact of Russia's misinformation campaign on Facebook.

> Facebook also used the firm to push the idea that liberal financier George Soros was behind a growing anti-Facebook movement.

https://www.nytimes.com/2018/11/15/technology/facebook-defin...

> Definers began doing some general communications work, such as running conference calls for Facebook. It also undertook more covert efforts to spread the blame for the rise of the Russian disinformation, pointing fingers at other companies like Google.

> A key part of Definers’ strategy was NTK Network, a website that appeared to be a run-of-the-mill news aggregator with a right-wing slant. In fact, many of NTK Network’s stories were written by employees at Definers and America Rising, a sister firm, to criticize rivals of their clients, according to one former employee not allowed to speak about it publicly. The three outfits share some staff and offices in Arlington, Va.

by "automatic spam detection" do you mean sending the incoming caller details to a 3rd party server for analysis? That was an option on my device, but after reading the T&C and privacy policy, I opted not to use that service.

My carrier does, however, mark a lot of calls as "Scam likely" which has been very helpful.

Agreed. I'd have to dive in more on what "relation analysis" is (you probably mean "relational analysis"?). I guess what I'm saying is that you're unlikely to get push-back from the monist crowd on the materialist front, and we're also unlikely to get "experience" (direct or otherwise) into our scientific crosshairs anytime soon. But we should certainly keep trying!
Lolz, no it doesn't. The securetoken stuff means that directory service stuff is broken without doing stuff like storing plaintext passwords on the device. Windows has had much better multi user support for years.

Apple seems to fundamentally believe that Macs are single user systems, and it's shown in their past few major releases.

Buttons allow a driver to not take his/her eyes off the road while changing the radio station or adjusting the AC. Totally eliminating dashboard buttons is dumb, but fortunately some car-makers have started realizing this and have started to re-introduce some of those buttons.

Yeah that number is outright false for "mass shootings". This figure originates from the approximate 33k people that are killed by firearms per year. Of that number, somewhere around 23k are individual suicides with firearms. Of the remaining approximate 10k deaths, 80% are gang related incidents. Source is the FBI UCR.
