That is a completely independent problem.

Moreover, the privacy issue isn't solved by prohibiting what applications can do, it's solved by giving the user control over them. If a flashlight app wants to access your SMS messages, you should be able to say "no" and still use it as a flashlight. But if an actual messaging app wants to do that for actual messaging purposes, you should still be able to say "yes" and use that app instead of Apple's.

I don't intend to deny your experience at all. Docker is everywhere about now, same for me.

There is another thread discussing that RHEL 8 is replacing the docker command with its own command line tool. Looks like it's happening sooner rather than later. There is a lot of work going on industry wide to replace Docker, can't deny that either.

I personally find it very ironic that Kubernetes only supports docker (more or less) while it's trying hard to never use the word docker and it has a whole concept of replaceable container engines.

Take it up a level; I think quite a lot of people believe there's a serious gap in the oversight of law enforcement agencies in the US. Where's the public accountability?

So - a reality show that follows police units, and lets the audience vote on which officers should be promoted, sacked, or jailed....
Management jobs have two aspects: people management (which you talk about) and team management. The latter definitely falls into "where to row" in your analogy. You can call that aspect of being a manager "leadership" but in practice it's not a separate job. A manager that ignores that part of it is failing.

I don't know about the Orloj, but the undisputedly most precise mechanical clock in existence today is Jens Olsen's World Clock in Copenhagen Town Hall. Horological porn. An engineering and manufacturing marvel &c.

I had a hard time finding exact accuracy stats for it online, but in a book I have on it, published when the clock was finished in the fifties, it was stated that it was expected to be no more than a couple of seconds out in a thousand years.

It tracks every astronomical event you've heard of and quite a few of which you haven't.

I actually went ahead and looked it up for you: "And that’s not all. Since we use our profits to plant trees, every search with Ecosia actually removes approximately 1 kg of CO2 from the atmosphere. How? On average, it takes around 50 searches to finance the planting of a new tree. An average tree planted by Ecosia will remove around 50 kg of CO2 from the air during its lifetime."
You could. But if you don't need that kind of added complexity and scale (and I don't for personal news updates or IoT device alerts) then why jump through those hoops?

The U.S. did cut Russia off during midterms last year didn’t we? It’s not a what if.
"So you're trying to analyze this as if a foreign country tries to cut Russia off from the internet."

Well, Russia has been threatened to be cut off from SWIFT.
At about the same time several Russian banks has been cut off from VISA and MC and after that Russia has built nation payment processing and forced VISA and MC use it for intra-Russia payments.

Being cut off from the internet is more far fetched but given the increased role of the internet in Russian economy and state services it is something that cannot be completely ignored.

Another possibility is that Russia cuts off itself after the multitude of crippling Stuxnet-like attacks via internet on targets of significant economical and industrial value.

Although I think Warren is wrong about the tech platforms, in the case of Apple she actually has a point!

I really hope you meant 100km. Even if you did, the amount of gas and wear on the car is non negligible, but still not a burden for a large run. However, most people don't want to drive that far or spend that much time being unproductive just to get a deal.

Also, all of the examples about cars, salaries, &c are no where near the frequency of groceries or monthly subscriptions and probably don't happen simultaneously.

The constant cognitive overload of doing it for everything in our lives is the issue, not that we can't do it for unique circumstances.

I think your response often conflates two things: it's correct to classify a lazy person as lazy, but a diagnosis is not a treatment.

For instance, diagnosing someone with a sprained muscle as being out of shape doesn't help get them in shape, and in fact, the immediate treatment is more rest until they're healed.

So I think it's incorrect to say that people don't have agency, but it's equally incorrect to say that merely identifying that they have agency should suffice if such a person is making incorrect decisions. Sometimes it might, but not always.

That should already have been the case after the first incident. I would guess and hope they'll be grounded until MCAS is significantly reworked, if it was the cause. This level of risk is completely off the charts for modern airliner aviation.
It's the same viewpoint that lead John Maynard Keynes to predict that with automation and efficiency the average working week in 2030 would be 15 hours.

That is, we've had centuries of automation - why shouldn't we expect fewer working hours yet still with a good standard of living?

It's the same argument behind a guaranteed minimum income. In essence, there's a structural problem which can be improved, not an intrinsic problem with automation.
If I decide to type the words "free will", I don't tell my fingers, "move to coordinates <x, y, z> and apply force vector F", I just type the words. I'm not really even conscious of typing the individual letters unless I slow down and think about it. That's because, through months of training followed by decades of use, I've trained my unconscious to type without having to consciously think about anything other than what to type (and even some of that I can fob off onto my unconscious).

Does this imply it was not my choice to type "free will"? Would I be unable, through conscious effort, to learn how to type with a different keyboard layout?

I can't think of a reason to suspect that we don't also train our decision-making processes the same way. (This is especially true for such trivial, inconsequential decisions as to which pattern to select in an experiment.) And I suspect we could train ourselves to always prefer a particular kind of pattern fairly easily through conscious effort.

So even if you limit free will to consciousness, I am not sure how you can say anything specific about free will as a result of the study.
I sure hope so. I’m more hoping they ground the fleet.

Switzerland does this right: there is an annual excess (which patients can choose, typically between $500 and $2500, and which is reflected in reduced premiums if you choose a higher excess) which is paid entirely by the patient, and after that the insurance kicks in for 90% of costs up to another threshold, after which the insurer covers everything.

In this way the insurance is actually an insurance like a car insurance, and not some bastardized medical payment plan where incentives of different parties aren't aligned.

The proper US response to the 2016 meddling would have been a NATSEC law that said no US based social media company could allow for 5 years any Russian IP address to connect to their services, or they would suffer massive fines. Facebook and Twitter for their role in the attack would be fined $5 Billion Dollars each and forced to provide policies within 1 year to prevent this from happening again, or face the threat of becoming regulated by the US government. All user accounts that belonged to Russian citizens as well as the Russian oligarchs and politicians were to be frozen for 5 years. US and EU Banks would be required to sanction Russians Oligarchs and Putin's interests.

Basically you would have instantly made Russian life a living digital hellscape for 5 years, at which point things could be lifted provided there were signed binding treaties and assurances that the type of attack in 2016 would never happen again. If attacks resumed the next round would last 10 years and be twice as severe.

If we're going to destroy net neutrality and impart government fascism, or have bizzaro government rulings that get throw out in court, this is how we should have done it, and this is the cause we should have done it for.

Docker is drifting towards being a standardizes deployment unit. This is especially apparent with advent of Alpine Linux based images or even more so with distroless.

With these changes going on, docker becomes just a fancy zip file, and since now there is a committee to design a standardized container there really is nothing left for for the Docker company.

Kubernetes IMO just used Docker's popularity to gain its own, but at this point the actual docker itself is no longer essential.
Countries with universal care also usually have tight regulations on what can be charged and how.

A first step would be to make all prices transparent so people can actually compare.

In my view the biggest problem in the US is that the billing aspect of health care is intentionally opaque.
Yeah, but after the tree dies and while it decomposes, AFAIK, most of that carbon goes right back into the air. So replanting trees doesn't really have CO2-negative effect.

Having more forest area keeps more carbon down as long as the forest lives. However, if you want to actually get rid of the carbon permanently, you'll have to bury it.

Maybe 1kg per tree reflects some kind of average of these 2?

But I'm not an expert in this topic (not even very knowledgeable) so someone please confirm or correct me!

Its very likely that most of the challenging security stuff will continue to move down into the kernel itself.

> It does not mean the conscious mind does not have free will, rather, that it works as an editor for a bunch of autonomous agents running in the background.

> If Microsoft could have easily gotten around the effects of a breakup, I'd expect almost everything about that fight to be different.

you are right and i pretty much forgotten about that.

microsoft fought a similar battle in europe with the same legal outcome and basically resulting in a "browser pick" splash when you installed the OS and that was about it.

that's a story where there was actually taken some action.

but, for example, for years it's been frowned upon that companies like apple "bank" their money in, for example, ireland and get away with not paying taxes in the countries they actually have offices.

that's a story where there has been no action for a (known) issue like the one described in the aticle. so how likely will it be that tech giants will create a legal entity abroad, hosting their platform, whilst they will continue to be the biggest player on that platform?

> A messaging app that can read SMS and replace Messages.

Oh, dear! No! One of the best decisions Apple took (among many) from the beginning from the privacy angle was/is not allowing any apps to access SMS or call logs. The way it implemented OTP entry from SMS is also brilliant (though it doesn't work for some message formats).

We've seen this on Android over and over again. Most users don't understand app permissions well from the privacy angle, and will say yes to any request (we've known for a long time from usability studies that users will usually do whatever is easy to dismiss any dialog). If Apple gives access to SMS and call logs, then those will be abused by third party apps (like Facebook, Google and many others), just like it has been on Android.

Apple could instead do a lot more to restrict the information that apps can collect and improve its app permission model.

But it would be nice to allow default apps to be setup as a user likes and give users more freedom. That's something most users would vote for (if it could be achieved that way).
I really like some of the feedback on this question, but I think one thing is missing. Ask your manager what he means, and have them give you an example. Preferably an example of something you did that was like an engineer and what should the leader have said.

We don’t know you or how you talk or bring problems forward, so we’re pulling very general examples. Good managers should not speak in ridles, if you don’t understand what they’re asking ask them. This isn’t a problem you have to go and solve, you’re not trying to devine meaning from tea leaves.

——

Some generic thoughts, cause well this is an ask. :)

1. Bringing problems to your manager. Are they of the right level or could you have solved it yourself? As you move up the career ladder/responsibility you have more responsiblity which means you deal with problems that have larger scope. My Jr guys solves (and creates) problems in functions, my Sr guy solves problems in systems, I solve problems that affect product lines accorss departments, and my VP solves problems that can affect the future of the company. But don’t bury problems that can’t solve quickly. The judgement is knowing which is your problem and which is theirs.

Ex: My manager is worried about the next generation systems and how to improve companby operation by adding new widgets faster, cheaper etc. I’m worried about the next few quarter of road map and how to transition from current development to the new system, how to hire for growth. My Sr guys are worried about getting the next firmware release out, planning for the one after, and making sure we hire engineers they want to work with.

—-

2. Options, don’t always bring problems bring options to help fix them and allow them to add their own. I have a project that needs to be done June 30th, if I bring him “it’s impossible” a good manager will go “but what if we hired contractors?”

So what options can you bring forward for the impossible project:

a. Shift the end date (generally something you can’t do, but make sure you understand why it’s June 30th and not July 31st. Did you promise this date earlier before unstanding scope? Doy you understand the ramifications of missing it?)

b. Redcuce scope, work overtimes/long hours/burn out the team, other engineering direct solutions.

c. Can you find new resources, how much would it cost? Are they internal, external? Could you shift someone from another low priority project? What’s your projects priority?

d. What’s the cost of your various options compared to being late/early, etc.

—-

3. Think of the organization not just your project. How does your work fit into the whole and what’s its importance, etc.

4. What people issues are you bringing your manager? Are you making sure to understand people aren’t computers/resources. They have feelings, different drives and desires, etc.

Anyways, ask your manager what they mean!

Let's say that I installed Telechat (fake chat app) and it asked for SMS, well yea, I'm going to approve it because it is a chat app.

Okay, how does that prevent Telechat from collecting my data and selling it?

I understand what you're trying to say but it is not solved by using app policies (controlling which piece of data they can access) because such policies does not prevent said apps from violating your privacy.

That isn't to say that such app policies shouldn't be a thing, it's a great tool and limits the potential damage but it has nothing to do with privacy.
