I agree that blocking would be needed. However if you are a business or individual that has email posted on the website it is not much harder for spammers to get it anyway.

Another usecase. Let's say I buy a domain myname.com for personal use. I might want people to contact me directly via @myname.com without having to create an unnatural sounding address like me@myname.com. I have seen people buying @surname domains and then creating emails name@surname, which is pretty weird too.

CT scans are actually fairly cheap, as far as medicinal imaging goes, unless you need to acquire a ton of slices really quickly (e.g., to image the heart). The 256 slice ones can run into the millions, but you can get a used 8 slice machine for ~five figures, and there aren’t a lot of consumables.

An MRI machine will easily run into the millions ($4M or so for a 3T, much more for the newer high field ones), and you need a steady supply of cryogens to keep the magnet cold.
I always want more money, but I don’t see why I’d expect it here. If the company cut my pay in order to pay the janitors $70,000 I might be perturbed, but as long as my pay remains steady, what do I care if people lower down the pay scale make more?

Tech workers are paid incredibly well. Maybe that’s because we create so much value, but our ability to do so is partly due to luck and circumstance. Certainly, the poor sucker emptying the trash cans for minimum wage puts in more effort each day than I ever do, and the company needs them in order to operate just as much as they need me.
Well, then it would also be fair to compare how much home work and home studying Asian kids do.

So now Lyft is forced to not only give 100% flexibility to its drivers but also pay above market rates as well? Why? The point is the job is flexible but it pays lower than other jobs. If you are okay with that then take it. If not, leave it. Why does Lyft have to pay more than what the drivers are worth to them as well as provide 100% flexibility?

If lyft/Uber/instacart are forced to make them employees instead of contractors then the first thing they will lose is the flexibility. They will likely not be allowed to work for other companies and have to drive X number of hours, etc. The drivers can’t have their cake and eat it too.
Personal growth is something you really have to do personally. In my team the developers are supposed to volunteer to work on stuff they have not worked with before.

It's a very important skill, as people are donating their time to helping you out, even if they're complaining about something. Especially for collaborators, I want them to feel like I listened to them and that I have concrete reasons for rejecting their proposal, even if the reason is "I don't believe this is in scope for this project, but maybe it could be implemented a layer above or as a plug-in".

The Core 2 series on LGA775 is the last Intel chipset where the ME can be entirely disabled.

This VISA exploit relies in some way on SA-00086, which is a flaw in the ME that cannot be removed in later versions.

The me_cleaner script has been able to purge these older chipsets since October of last year. I cleaned two different HP desktops at that time, and uploaded the modified BIOS here:

These still suffer from Meltdown and the remediation does exact a performance penalty, but Core 2 is starting to appear as the most manageable risk of all their products.
For my own projects I’ve actually found it easier to start with Vue immediately, even for a prototype.

If I have to do any DOM manipulation outside of perhaps hiding or showing an element based on a button press, I typically find it far more unwieldy to do all that stuff with jQuery than just scaffolding out a quick Vue component.

Plus, there is a build available with a runtime template compiler, so you can just pull that in via a CDN and prototype without needing a build step.

Obviously, it varies a lot based on the sort of things you build, but I’ve found it to have sped up my prototyping process enormously.

It’s only good business sense if it increases profits. Otherwise it’s moral.
But the problem is in many application domains, you cannot obtain holdout sets. For example, if you measure the causal impact of ads for a client, they usually will not agree to accept the cost of holdout inventory in order to measure the effects. They’d rather ensure all the inventory is used, and let the observational post-hoc attempt at causal inference have errors.. they knowingly prefer that trade-off.

There are actually a lot of areas like this, where you are just given a one-sided observational data set snd tasked with recovering causal effects with no option to collect a holdout set. Often nobody consciously chose it that way over an RCT, it’s just how it happened.
But also totally pointless since PostgreSQL's timestamptz type also uses 64 bits.

Yea, I mean, that's kind of the point. You really have it backwards:

If you just multiply all salaries in society with 2, inflation will eat it all up.

In order to achieve a more equal society, you have to raise the lower salaries more than the higher ones.

Now, of course, you may say you don't WANT a more equal society, but ... ever wondered why US politics have become such a mess?

It is necessary if you need a higher resolution than PostgreSQL supports unless you find some extension with a custom type, but using it to save space is rarely worth it because then you make the database harder to query and risk running into the 2038 problem just to save 4 bytes per timestamp.

This reminds me of a card skimmer I found on an ATM about 12 years ago (unfortunately, after I had used it to withdraw cash). I basically lucked into finding the camera hole and managed to rip the fake cover + video camera + transmitter from the frame of the ATM. With that in hand (unfortunately I dis not think to also take out the card reader itself), I called the police. While I was on the phone with them, a foreign couple tried to use the ATM. I told them not to, they pretended not to understand, I went back to my phone call with the police. When I turned around, the card reader was gone: that nice couple was the thieves, they were somewhere near (to catch the video footage of people entering their PIN) and swooped in to retrieve the card reader and the data stored in it.

The police squad that came around was fairly decent, but they didn’t really seem to be on the lookout for this type of crime; one of the cops confessed that he’d used the same ATM the night before and was genuinely impressed that I’d spotted it. Spending a couple of hours in the police station to give my statement (rather than going to the restaurant as initially planned) sucked, of course. I was shocked at how bad I was at describing the thieves, even though I’d seen them and talked to them.

Following up with the bank was similarly frustrating; the bank director told me he personally checked the ATM at opening and closing time, meaning the thieves installed and removed the card reader every night. I never found out if the other victims were made aware of the fact that their card details were stolen.

So, yes, thieves are brazen and smart; police are nice (sometimes) but helpless or just don’t care about these types of crime; and even though I did all I could to mitigate the situation, I still felt a bit shitty and helpless about the whole experience.

Interesting post. But there other things to consider in addition to the price, like the supported versions of PostgreSQL, the supported PostgreSQL extensions, and service availability during automatic updates.

To illustrate my comment, I like the Google Cloud ecosystem, but Google Cloud SQL doesn't support PostgreSQL 10 and 11, and when using a single node, there is a downtime during automatic updates. DigitalOcean Managed Databases are more recent but, according to their documentation, these "issues" are solved.

The Netflix model is the one that I would take if I ever ran a company. Pay every employee top of the market but fire quickly and decisively if they don’t meet very high expectations.

Do you mean as base salary or as a bonus? Lots of tech companies report earnings per employee, and the I'm used to hearing that number be in the couple hundred thousand range.

> What incentives do de Becker and Bezos have that would cause them to falsely accuse the government of Saudi Arabia? It seems that such an action would be risky to say the least.

It seemed the implied incentive for Bezos to accuse the Saudis was to portray himself as the victim and not the victimizer. He also had beef with the Saudis before this happened. Finally, his medium posts and frantic behavior suggested he may have been letting panic and paranoia get the better of him.

If you reinvent a wheel you need to maintain that wheel. That is your customer's money. Money which can be put in features instead of striving to technical excellence.

Instead, you now put money and time in building a wheel for very little benefit (if you can feel the performance of jQuery, you're doing to much DOM operations and you probably wouldn't benefit much from stripping it out).

Some projects are not meant to last long-term, and jQuery would work just fine. Even if it is old fashioned.
Righto. Solicit a time-zone preference from each user, using the zoneinfo naming system ('Asia/Kolkata' or 'America/Indiana/Vincennes') Then accept times from, and render times to, that user in their local time. DBMS timezone settings do a good job of that.
When users decline to give a preference, show them UTC until they get tired of it and give you a preference.

> Do you think this is how paper ballots work?

It was definitely a hyperbole. But I think there is a lot of assumption of trust in the status quo, and I think we are frequently let down by that assumption. Not all the time. It's not an apocalypse. But we could do better.

> more difficult to subvert at scale

That's a great point. If you have a single point of failure through E2E, then individual attacks are much more significant.

Nationwide elections are often decided by a handful of key districts though. And the different systems in all these districts can make it hard to detect whether things are broken by design or coincidence. Tools from distributed consensus could make tampering more obvious in one large system.

But you're right, in general E2E makes this harder, not easier.

> ballots require both ballot secrecy and democratic legitimacy

100% agree. But this is an issue for paper too. If we allow paper receipts, you can later verify your vote, but you can also sell the receipt, destroying the secret ballot.

Secrecy and verifiability seem impossible to reconcile at first glance. But there are actually ways to do this through repudiation that might work for either paper or electronic voting.

Estonia's model has other flaws, but had an interesting solution here. They went as far as internet voting. So, worst case, imagine the local boss is at your apartment with a gun to your head, you vote online. But the trick was, any time after that you could walk into a polling place and cast an overriding vote that cancels the earlier vote. That's just one example of this technique, and weeks long elections probably wouldn't work for our system. But the general idea of repudiation or false votes is a useful tool.

With paper receipts, you could allow citizens to print false receipts at the polls as well, then that would preserve the secret ballot. Unfortunately it could also make it impossible for them to prove miscounting.

If the FEC and the voter had two shared secrets, one that unlocks the true vote and one that unlocks a false vote, you could accomplish both goals. You could have a deniable vote, but where the voter and the FEC could only prove to each other which one was correct.

I'm not sure you get the same guarantees with paper at scale. But maybe receipts with dummy receipts would get close enough.

I think another argument you could make is based on federalism. We currently have a system that guarantees every local polity can make whatever decisions they want about how to run their elections, out of a respect for distributed powers. E2E is not a good solution if we just have a hard requirement for distributed management of elections.

Appreciate the response. I am still grappling with a lot of these issues, and place enormous value on getting the conversation away from "paper good, electrons bad" to an open discussion of why we all have those really strong assumptions.
That's just it. There's already a frontend for the police to use that gives them access to all the data for a single phone number, sans warrant. Does that same frontend allow them to perform arbitrary queries across the entire dataset?. If not, then pursuing this lead would involve filling out forms and writing letters to telcos, possibly even obtaining warrants (unlike the usual process), and they probably wouldn't bother.

Incidentally, the ability to perform unrestricted arbitrary queries without a warrant across the entire phone-location dataset is a fairly horrifying amount of power for the police to have. But I suppose legally that ship has sailed with RIPA, and now it's just a question of the fine details of the implementation.
