I have been considering this off and on over many years, and I'm starting to think that others in this community may have done so as well: I want to ditch all my phone numbers, and replace them with addresses and identifiers that I can control myself.

It seems as though if a group of people all had the same app installed on our phones--like Signal, or something similar--we could bypass the phone number system, and set up our own audio-chat sessions over the data connection. If anyone else wanted to talk, they would also need to have the same app, or use its API, and add my contact information. That would add quite a bit of friction to person-to-person communication, but I kind of want that now, as it would also add equal friction to robot-to-person communications. But it isn't exactly easy to get a mobile data network connection without also buying in to the phone network addressing system.

Everywhere I look, in the realm of security breaches and vulnerabilities, a large number of exploits use the public switched telephone network, or its addresses, to compromise the security of the people forced to use them by network effects. Many of the others exploit email addresses on the large providers--apple.com, gmail.com, yahoo.com, hotmail.com--which are popular due to ease of use, and the difficulty involved in getting mail delivered from a private domain to someone using addresses from those providers.

I get the impression that if I set up a phone to ring on a SIP request to 'myhomephone@mydomain.example.com' instead of something like '2125551212@voipprovider.example.com', it would never get robo-dialed calls. But it would also never get calls from people I might want to speak with, because their phones can only call phone numbers. What's the way out of this trap? How do we stop jackasses from jumping into the middle of any private communications we might wish to have, in a way that is also easy enough to use that nontechnical relative can use a prepackaged setup for it?
It's especially bad since Tesla's whole goal was to make EVs more accessible, mainly by starting at the top-end and working downwards. They were never trying to create some exclusive luxury brand not meant for plebs.
There's a lot of circumstantial evidence suggesting that efforts to refactor the codebase were torpedoed because of developer elitism.

Yeah, I agree that is something that pretty much is not considered in the public conversation. But it seems like at least having the ability to control CO2 levels is much better than we are now.
That's not just the closest thing to realistic user-testing, production IS the user testing phase :P
The only things I found not reproducable at home were loudness levels that hurt my ears, sticky floors and inconsiderate people talking during the movie and leaving before the credits stopped rolling.

At first the numbers shocked me (500k books, 16 reviewers) because they entail something like ~100 books added per reviewer per day (~250 workdays/year, 2k books per workday).

Then I saw the numbers of copies ordered for the top 10 titles and realized that they're adding many books with the same title and potentially in the range of ~10 copies per title on average -- so that seems much less strange, reviewers only need to approve about 10 titles per day or so.

So then the question is, how much they have to comb through to get there. The article only gives one data point here:

> Politics and dieting regimens — keto, Paleo and vegan — get a close look from Wayne Roylance, 58, a selector who reviews more than 4,000 adult titles a month. Of those, he typically picks about 1,500 for the shelves.

Actually that one made me burst out laughing at work. (Since they weren't talking about "titles" before, my reading initially placed the end of that first sentence as a commentary on the magnitude of Wayne's porn addiction, rather than a material fact to be considered.)

That number doesn't quite square up... ~20 weekdays per month means he's reviewing 200 per day, which is doable but a bit much (sort of a Marie Kondo thing, processing one item a minute by holding it up for 30 seconds and keeping it if it "sparks joy", is 480/day-ish), but I am very surprised that he picks 75 per day rather than the earlier estimate of ~10. Maybe I was wrong and indeed most of their books are singular rather than duplicates of one title?
The MACCHIATObin Double Shot[0] from Marvell is reasonably fast. CPU wise it's twice the speed of a RPI, has two 10 Gb NICs, one 1 Gb NIC, 3 SATA ports, a PCIe 3.0 x4 slot, in a mini-ITX form. I picked one up from Solid Run with 16 GB RAM for around $500 with the intention of making a desktop replacement to do all my online financial stuff on. Unfortunately the processor initialization doesn't configure large enough BAR space for video cards. A desktop like this has been done[1], but how was not publicly documented.

Yeah, ZeroTier is awesome! Works great on every platform, simple authentication scheme, and it's always connected. I use it for access to remote servers (have the zt subnet set to bypass firewall for accessing various debug servers) for a nonprofit project and for all kinds of personal uses as well. The free hosted version has up to 100 devices on a network and you can self host as well.
Presumably that accountability could be achieved despite secrecy, through code. Also see Zero-knowledge proofs
This is pretty sleazy and almost impossible to defend.
doing this COW stuff with file mapped pages generally must be kind of weird. like normally with a COW page you just mark the page entry as read only and then when the process tries to modify the page you create a copy of the page for that process. the only process that is modified is the process that tried to write to the page.

but with file mapped pages this is going to be a bit weird because the processes with a file page mapped MAP_SHARED should see others modifications of a MAP_SHARED page and presumably now when process modifies a file mapped page that is marked read only the kernel now has to update all the other processes to point at this new writable page. i think it is easy to modify the current process's page table, not sure how easy it is to modify other process's view of the page table. though, maybe the kernel wouldn't let you RPC a MAP_SHARED mmap. maybe it would only let you do it with a MAP_PRIVATE mmap.
Music for the Jilted Generation is one of the best electronic albums I've ever heard. Not sure how much Keith contributed to that particular album (at the time I think it was mainly Liam Howlett's project) but certainly Fat of the Land is a seminal electronic album as well, and Keith was a very visible part of that act.
Yours is a very well reasoned argument.
One of the most common socialist institutions in the USA is the "public" library. Patronized mostly by the intelligentsia, it's just a matter of time until the tiki torches and pitchforks come out and public book burnings become common.

In the future, all your books will be owned by the publishers and you will only be allowed to read their content on a subscription basis at library365 by downloading the tracking app onto your reader device.
They bet on Tesla being the Apple of the road and bet wrong by the sounds of it.
Did you read the article or are you going by the headline? They are upset because some of these buyers got their vehicles days before the price cut.
Yes of course, thank you. I am so used to seeing the word "log" written out in things like time complexity/Big O analysis that I forgot about the natural log - ln. Cheers.
The latest design, with a better catalyst matrix, works with 50% H2O2. That matters because you can buy it, and don't need to make it yourself on the spot like the 70% solution.

Thread on r/teslamotors about this:

Two good comments there:
1) "huh... i guess outrage over a price drop falls under the category of "there's no such thing as bad press""
2) "The news accounts on weibo posted the news in a negative tone. But the comments are mainly against who demand refund over price drop. So I would say it's now viral without much backlash"
Workaround on Android: create a navigation shortcut called 'Home'.
The decision to hire a (non-Japanese) moving company for moving our 4 person household has been the best service investment I ever did. Included tearing down and rebuilding every piece of large furniture and the kitchen including appliances and plumbing. I would have been busy for at least two weeks. 2000 EUR. Unbelievable to watch.
Yep, those are called consignment shops. I've never tried one, but it's not a bad idea in theory. But considering how little you might make from an Ebay sale for many things after Ebay and PayPal take their fees and then you pay for the usually-"free" shipping (with USPS rates already high and constantly rising, and UPS/Fedex rates even worse unless you're a big business), I do really wonder how profitable such a business would be.
Striving for equality of outcome is a good first step

Did you you mean equality of opportunity?

Equality of outcome is evil. Equality of outcome is a goal that stomps all over individual liberty and completely ignores the fact that different people have different abilities and different personal goals. Outcome should only be equal in cases where ability/desire is identical and opportunity was equal. Anything else is fundamentally wrong.

> is it basically impossible to salvage all the stability work from the Linux kernel?

Short answer: Yes.

Medium answer: That would be a near-complete rewrite of the project, since the ReactOS kernel and Linux have nothing in common. Different architectures, code styles, conventions, APIs, ABIs (which is super important for drivers). Probably the best option would be to port all of the ReactOS userland to run on WINE (which would actually be cool, and might be easy), and possibly write a Linux kernel module that provided a NT-compatible driver ABI (which would probably be hell to write, but if it's even possible then it would be a huge boon to Linux hardware compatibility... probably).
There are still issues with this approach, although they're a bit more subtle. Think about Valeant circa 2015 -- definitely taking a short term approach of acquiring and stripping pharma companies, which did positively impact their stock price. But, they did it in an unsustainable manner.
I'd kill for a rust client with feature parity. Writing k8s operators in rust would be so much better.
"I have nothing to hide" is a stupidly strong public mindset
The main issue you are missing is that Google and Netflix are screaming desperately, and spending billions funding groups decrying that "oh no, our monopolies will be protected if these laws are passed".

Myths aside, these companies are not complaining about repealing net neutrality[1], copyright reform, etc. out of the goodness of their hearts and their desires to protect competition or the free internet or whatever other nonsense they're peddling. They're lying about the impact because they want to continue to rake in profits at the expense of everyone else, and they well know the changes in the law that are coming are going to turn off the free faucet.

[1]The irony of this one in particular, is that net neutrality assures regulatory capture. ;)
> we should report on new ideas with a great deal of skepticism until the evidence becomes very strong

A nutritionist with Ph.d with good credibility claims that he got good results with using black sesame seeds. The way he used it is - roast 2 spoons of black sesame seeds and eat once a week for 6 months (no need/should not take every day). He claims to have cured them in 6 months.
If I have someone I know I would try as there is no harm in having a regular food item taken once a week. Don't know how it works or if any studies already done to back it up.
Very cool, but real time visualization use cases are surprisingly hard to concoct. Almost any signal worth capturing visually at one second or sooner intervals would be better served through automation.

For example, all SCADA systems already have command and control alerting for instant degradation response.

I didn't see this sentiment in the article. Buyers were angry that they paid an extra $30k buying the day before the announcement. Is Tesla offering any sort of price protection for recent purchases?
> Referencing the toxicity of water is a bit disingenuous, since the average human body is 60% water or more to begin with. Glyphosate, on the other hand, is a substance wholly artificial and foreign to the human body.

Quite the opposite: water is the basis of our life, a substance that we all depend on. Still, it can easily kill you.

It is exactly my point: no substance is entirely safe.
To me the biggest Google Maps dark pattern is "no GPS for you unless you consent to share your location with us at all times". It was this that persuaded me to excise Google apps from my phone forever. It drove me crazy seeing the little satellite icon, and the network connection, permanently active. No feature is worth your corporate ankle bracelet, thank you very much.
Here's my question: how do you create incentive structures towards sustainable operation? Is this even possible or feasible inside of a company, or is it the market's job to operate such structures, using corporate formation, dissolution, aggregation and division?

It seems very hard to create an incentive structure that won't be gamed.
There are way more hidden assumptions than just "Don't you want your country to be safe no matter what?".

What's really happening when you agree to surveillance, is you're agreeing to give power in the form of information asymmetry to people you don't know. You assume those people will use that power for your benefit. In reality, there is very little guarantee that that's true - though there is some statistical likelihood that it's true.

At the end of the day, there is no such thing as law and order, no such thing as values and ethics, no such thing as society and civilization. All there really is is groups of people with varying levels of power and cohesion, varying overlap of shared interests, rather predictable human nature, and game theory. If you lose sight of that, you do so at your own peril.
In a certain context it can also be considered patronizing.

Let's imagine someone is doing heavy labor and digging ditches. More appropriate to just say 'let me do that for you'. Rather than 'mind if I do that for you'.

Bill must know it's not a great job to take support calls constantly and deal with the aggravation. No doubt that there are people (like with any job) that like the job and are fine with it. But those are most likely not people that Bill associates with, is friends with, or respects. The contrast between the parties is where the 'patronizing' comes in.

Another example is a Physician in a hospital. If someone is cleaning bed pans and the Physicians says 'let me do that for you' it means one thing. If they say 'mind if I do that for you' it means another thing.

> Editing on the web _is_ a deliberate omission, and I consider this an anti-feature.

I prefer liberty of choice rather than such opinionated decisions, but that's not up to me. There's a rationale and I respect this. It's just convenience: I've honestly just been happy to be able to update some of my project's READMEs of wiki on my phone. As for failing tests or disregarding style guide, IMHO it's more up to the project to enforce these things rather than to my code hosting platform to limit possibilities. Again, this is largely preference.

This isn't a thing on iOS. Can someone explain more what "Web & App Activity" means on Android? I don't have an Android device so I don't fully get what permission that is asking? Is it a common one other apps need? Like maybe it's a case of bad specific permissions and they have to ask for that even though they wish they didn't have to do something that generic? I know I've seen that before for like Github apps, for example. They don't have fine grain permissions, so you have to ask for more than you need a lot of times.
Considering how drastic the changes were overseas and built in demand Tesla not only garnered poor public response they gave up a lot of free money.

hindsight is 20/20, they should have walked it down to the lowest price points over the course of the year while broadcasting the fact that they expect to cut prices continuously.

This ain't to excuse some US customers but I am afraid far too many people here are merely looking for an excuse to be a victim so that they in turn feel important. Reddit is all over the place with pro and con comments. The sense of entitlement. that some people have is astounding.

What you suggest may be "simple" in terms of the amount of work the user needs to do, but my comment is about reduced complexity and $$ because you don't need them yet.

When you set up such an infrastructure like you proposed, there are still too many wheels in motion(complexity), and even worse they are abstracted away from you further and further. And, I'm sure the AWS bill is not going to be pretty considering they do all those bells and whistles.
