They are managing a lot of things, they have full responsibility to be aware of these things as a company but I'd guess that with the scale of ops Facebook has regular developers never interact with the team that's managing their attempt at high availability by scattering servers across different hosts, data centers, legal jurisdictions etc. in fact I'd imagine at a op the size of Facebook that sort of problem has a dedicated department.

That said, someone should have been watching for this stuff and failed to do so (or to exist), so I'm not excusing them - but this is not a trivial thing to protect against.
Small victory bit a great first step. Searches by ANY agent of the government without a warrant, even of private data brokers, that is meant for prosecution should be illegal.

lol, let's bury an article by independent financial press and replace it with the company spin, making no mention of poor results vs consensus analyst estimates, and hiding the most important info (-2.90 EPS, $4.5b rev) on Page 6.
Those who are looking at OpenEmbedded should also consider Buildroot. I found it much simpler and got my distro configured and built in a few hours rather than the days it took me to figure out OpenEmbedded's build system.
While I personally agree with the ruling, there's a good chance that it will get appealed (and potentially overturned), since US v. Carpenter, decided back in 2017, had a narrow holding.

The article mentions that the EFF:

> ...asked the court to recognize, as the Supreme Court did in U.S. v Carpenter, that people have a constitutional right to privacy in their physical movements.

But SCOTUSblog's reporting of that decision makes it clear that [1]:

> Roberts also left open the possibility that law-enforcement officials might not need a warrant to obtain cell-site location records for a shorter period of time than the seven days at issue in Carpenter’s case – which might allow them to get information about where someone was on the day of a crime, for example.

There are two dimensions involved: who's being tracked, and how long it's been tracked. In Carpenter's case, someone was tracked for 7 days without a warrant, while in Almonor, it was only 6 hours. Additionally, the EFF post suggests that this was a much more targeted search (one for specific suspects only) than the one in Carpenter.

As much as I dislike the idea of warrantless phone tracking, since Roberts crossed over to vote with the liberals on the side of a narrow majority on Carpenter, there's a decent chance this might get overturned on appeal.

Show HN: Relief – Physical Therapy Programs to Fix Back Pain and Posture

If one system's inflammation causes another system to degrade and inflame, and so on, until the body has systemic inflammation without an infection... that over-sensitivity/self-reinforcement mechanism is arguably the problem, but also a moot point without advanced gene editing. The "fix" may be reducing inflammation so those systems can recover homeostasis.
Hi HN!

I’ve struggled with back / neck / wrist pain (like many programmers do) for the past few years, spending countless dollars on physical therapy, chiropractors, and gimmicky products.

This inspired me to collaborate with a few physical therapists and fitness trainers. We built Relief to provide evidence-based treatment programs delivered through high-quality guided videos. Examples include the 7-day low back pain program, McKenzie Method, 7-day posture program, forward head + anterior pelvic tilt corrective routines, yoga for back pain, and more. Think Calm / Headspace for musculoskeletal problems.

I’d love to get some feedback and hear about your experiences with musculoskeletal pain! We’ve made a bunch of the content free, and the rest can be accessed through a no-risk free trial.
I'd say good luck with that.

To acquire BAT at scale fraudulently from rewards will likely cost more than it's worth, and to convert it into fiat will require going through KYC / AML processes AND avoiding being flagged by Brave's fraud analysis.

I don't think the quote is wrong, it's just that some things aren't well explained by stupidity. "Oops, we accidentally stole your data and used it" isn't explainable by stupidity but is explainable by malice.

In other words, Hanlon's Razer doesn't say that there is no such thing as malice just that you shouldn't default to assuming malice.
There definitely is a difference between someone accidentally tracking dog poo into your house vs someone doing it intentionally; in the first case, you all them to clean it up, and in the second case you break the friendship and/or seek criminal prosection.

Likewise for big companies. If a company is acting badly, you need to figure out if it was intentional. In both cases you seek damages, but your approach to making sure it never happens again will be very different.
As well they should; it sounds objectively like an abuse of privacy. I don't much care for Google's Sensorvault DB [0] either but at least it's not (AIUI) real-time and completely unfettered.

They are related, but still different concepts and one doesn't imply the other.

An obvious example is the "three wolves and a sheep deciding on dinner" problem. Democratic, not egalitarian.

Both democracy and egalitarianism have many forms and interpretations and open up unresolved philosophical problems. Bundling them together just causes more confusion.
Read my comment. I specifically mentioned Britannia. The Franks (i.e. Merovingian), had less than 20% of the former Roman Empire in control. About 18%. The rest of Europe was extremely fragmented, and territories changing hands often (and always through war).

Mentioning that there were plenty of building and construction happening in some part, doesn't negate that the rest (80%) was being ravaged and in continuous decline to the point of whole populations being displaced.

Only the Eastern Roman Empire (aka. Byzantine empire), had a unified government structure, yet it was struggling with the Slavic invasions/incursions from the north, and the wars with the Sassanid empire and the succeeding caliphates.

They did attempt to re-unify the empire with the Justinian Restoration (with Belisarious being the main general re-conquering vast territories), but that didn't last long either. As the economy was lagging the region was ravaged by the Black Plague, where it is estimated that 25–50 million people in two centuries of recurrence died, equivalent to 13–26% of the world's population at the time

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plague_of_Justinian

To me, late Antiquity end, and the true dark ages begin after the death Justinian, and the decline of the Eastern Roman Empire to the point that it couldn't defend or keep its territories from the Slavic invasions.

I'm not necessarily disagreeing with the point you're trying to make regarding how Jack Ma might be part of the problem.

But its not really a "China" problem. There's a lot of startups and mature companies in the US that have similarly aggressive personalities at the helm who demand a lot from their employees.

My main point was the notion that people are assuming that its universal in China, when its not always true (whether its more prevalent than in the US or not - i dont know).

The only reason I'm even making this point was because how grandparent to my comment made a simple comment about how companies in Shenzen pay a lot, and the response to that was a blanket "but 996" when that might not be true.

AWS + Amazon doesn’t seem obvious to me; would there be much to gain from breaking up a conglomerate into several businesses, when those separate businesses are in entirely different verticals?

I suppose breaking off AWS might lower Amazon’s ability to subsidize an unprofitable retail business in search of market share, though that is probably a moot point now that Amazon is raising its prices in search of profitability and is likely to stop being the de facto online shopping destination now that other online retailers are also standardizing in two day shipping and easy returns (often easier due to providing return labels in the box).

Alternatively, there is no conspiracy, and every major government simply ignores dangers of aviation jet fumes. Sort of how everyone was sure, that invisible radiation is near-harmless and that radium dials are safe to use, until suddenly they weren't.

I did a 5-day fast last month. Water only, 120 hours.

In the 30 days since I completed the fast, my fasting blood glucose has dropped from ~80-90 down to 65-75.

I'm concerned about the accuracy of my Freestyle Libre, but it was previously consistent with professional labs.

Anyway, a long term fast like the one I did may help improve your insulin resistance; it seems it did for me.

I trust Slack more than I trust Telegram as the entity responsible for my corporate data and sensitive communications.

That alone would be the dealbreaker for me.

If I was at a tiny startup that was just getting off the ground, I might be more open to using Telegram for the use-case you're describing.

But once you're dealing with a real business, several employees and several paying customers with significant revenue implications, I'd switch to a known and trusted entity that has enterprise support (like Slack, Teams, Hangouts, etc).

Who? Research it, their views pretty much run the gamut like anyone else's. For example:

"Although I am now convinced that scientific truth is unassailable in its own field, I have never found it possible to dismiss the content of religious thinking as simply part of an outmoded phase in the consciousness of mankind, a part we shall have to give up from now on. Thus in the course of my life I have repeatedly been compelled to ponder on the relationship of these two regions of thought, for I have never been able to doubt the reality of that to which they point."

- Werner Heisenberg

Pascual Jordan was Christian, Enrico Fermi was Agnostic, Max Born was a Jewish Lutheran but was just completely apathetic to organized religion while Niels Bohr, Richard Feynman and John Bell were self avowed Atheists. Schrödinger called himself an Atheist but had a strong affinity for Eastern spiritually and Oppenheimer was into Hinduism. And if you want to get into some really weird stuff, look up Jack Parsons, founder of JPL at NASA.

Scientists are just people like the rest of us and grapple with the same questions in life all of us do.
Yes, there's lots of different approaches (I've been fiddling with these ideas for 20 years). Among the most interesting is conversion of note data to polar coordinates, using pitch class as the angular component and octave as as the amplitude. You can also represent musical pitches on hexagonal layouts, as graph structures, perturbations of strange attractors in n-d phase space...
> According to that, everyone who isn't carbon neutral would be evil.

While I agree that it's useful to maintain some nuance in our perspectives, generally I think it's better to recognize and realign our actions, not definitions. It's the difference between accidentally hitting someone, and accidentally hitting someone and proceeding to run them over.

And to your example, I think we know most people aren't really aware of what is going on. Another group of people don't believe it at all, a combination of ignorance and poor government. We're all human; that means something.
I find these sorts of arguments to be... odd.

“Inflammation” includes so many normal homeostatic processes that it’s essentially a tautology to point to inflammation as being a critical component of disordered homeostasis. The biggest key as to whether a molecule is considered inflammatory is what type of biologist discovered it first.
Can you give an example of a bill where Dems attached a universal free federal ID rider? I haven't heard of that before, and would like to research more. Most complaints about universal IDs in US are about a hypothetical mandatory ID, but you don't need it to be mandatory in this case; just make it available free to any citizen that requests one. So I'm curious if Dems added a mandatory clause there, or if not, then how did Repubs justified voting against.

(Side note: I'm not opposed to a mandatory federal ID, personally. Given the existence of SSN, driver licenses etc, it's just codifying the status quo in a way that allows it to be implemented far more efficiently. If the feds are going to track me anyway, I'd rather them at least use that information to provide services to me in a more efficient way.)

As far as guns, for starters, it's a right to keep and bear arms, so we have to talk about licenses to carry as well, not just licenses to possess. These licenses aren't free in any state that has them, and can be extremely expensive in some, to the point of hundreds of dollars. And note that handguns in particular are the one type of firearms that was specifically cited as protected in Heller, so this can't be justified on the grounds that they're somehow exotic and outside of the scope of 2A.

But there are also jurisdictions where mere possession requires a license - for example, FOID in Illinois, or the NYC permits. Those apply to long guns as well. And they also come with fees - in NYC, you have to pay $140 just to make an application, and then another $90 on top of that for fingerprinting, just to own a long gun.

Then there are indirect fees imposed by various requirements. For example, most states with universal background checks implement them by requiring an FFL transfer with the usual NICS gate. But those are carried out by private dealers, who charge essentially arbitrary fees for them. Most laws do not set any limits on those fees. And since the check is mandatory, there's no way to avoid them, effectively requiring paying money to exercise the right to own. (There's some obvious irony here in those laws effectively subsidizing local gun stores, by letting them get a cut on every private sale, but it's a separate issue.) Same thing with mandatory training.

To be clear, I don't think that universal background checks or carry permits are bad, or even that licenses to possess are bad. As a gun collector, I'd actually personally prefer license to possess to the current NICS arrangement - it would certainly make my life easier! - and it's also more efficient at enforcement. The point, rather, is that charging for those checks and permits amounts to limiting a constitutionally protected right only to those who can pay for it, effectively turning it into a privilege. And in that regard, it is very similar to a poll tax, and I can't see how one can be opposed without opposing the other on the same grounds. I oppose both, and other similar arrangements (e.g. funding the justice system via court fees).

I don't think they can make money off plain text passwords? They can only lose money from that, if it's discovered and they are fined and lose some users.

They can make money from contact lists, but IIUC the article said they didn't use the contact lists. Also, given that it only affected a couple million users (like 0.1% of their user base), the damage to their reputation would far outweigh any benefits of actually using those contact lists.

On the last item, the collection of email passwords, the only benefit would be if they actually use those passwords to get information, so the above point covers it.

Let me know if I'm missing something.
It appears this ruling is based on the Massachusetts State Constitution, not the U.S. Constitution. States are allowed to have stronger protections against searches and seizures than what the 4th Amendment requires, and the U.S. Supreme Court (the only court above the MA Supreme Judicial Court) is unlikely to have the jurisdiction to interpret state constitutions.

> "Although the defendant raised both federal and state constitutional claims in Almonor, the court based its decision solely on Article 14 of the Massachusetts Declaration of Rights, which was drafted before—and served as one of the models for—our federal Bill of Rights. Article 14, one of the cornerstones of the Massachusetts Constitution, is the state’s equivalent to the Fourth Amendment. As the court notes, it 'does, or may, afford more substantive protection to individuals than that which prevails under the Constitution of the United States.'"

(From original article.)

> "the U.S. Supreme Court may hear appeals from state supreme courts only if there is a question of law under the United States Constitution (which includes issues arising from federal treaties, statutes, or regulations), and those appeals are heard at the Court's sole discretion (that is, only if the Court grants a petition for writ of certiorari)."
