The ruling was based on the MA state constitution, so it probably doesn't constrain federal law enforcement agencies. But it definitely constrains MA state and local officials, whether or not they're collaborating voluntarily with the feds in a fusion center.
I'm never really sure how to react to these stories... In general, I agree with you that "they suck anyway" is an unhelpful stance, but the NSA's track record is singularly bad.

They went in front of the Church Committee and lied outright to Congress, then dodged all consequences when a DoJ investigation explicitly concluded that their stonewall tactics were too effective to defeat. Decades later, when we look at Clapper's testimony to Congress, nothing much seems to have improved. At best, every word of the promises and announcements has an exotic meaning no one could intuit, which won't be provided until after the story is leaked. At worst, they're naked lies.

I don't know what healthy progress and activism here look like, because as far as I can tell they've never happened. (Barring, I suppose, James Bamford's work.) When Congress repeatedly fails to bring an agency to heel, and the DoJ outright admits it's not up to the task, it's hard to find much faith in anything that agency says.
>“We need to be careful and ensure that the margin for maneuver given by the GDPR doesn’t lead to an attractiveness competition between EU countries, as is already the case for taxation,” Marie-Laure Denis, France’s new chief privacy regulator, warned the French parliament in January, in a clear reference to Ireland.

Of course the big and wealthy countries in the EU want to make sure that the smaller countries aren't attractive for businesses. It reminds me of Macron's proposal to screw over truckers from Eastern Europe.

These regulators knew that GDPR was going to have an effect like this. Why are people acting surprised now? Whenever I see talk that pertains to the Irish not doing enough with the tech companies it's always politicians from countries like France and Germany. I'm guessing that they don't like that tech companies set up shop in a country that isn't theirs.
I believe Levi's plans on IPOing as well.
No need to give up. Just acknowledge that is a hard problem whose success date is notably indeterminate. Then stubbornly refuse to talk about future features and only talk about one's already shipping today. If the future is going to arrive so soon, why bother to break in advance? Let everyone be amazed when it does arrive.

I love the autopilot feature, but the cars are still great without it. Tesla can be very successful and sell a lot of cars without any more self driving features.

>but they would not do anything of this magnitude if it wasn’t for Elon’s vision and leadership. Isn’t that obvious?

It would be just as correct to say that Elon Musk's vision wouldn't go anywhere without his employees' vision and talents, many of which likely exceed his own in terms of technical or intellectual skill.

Obviously, he has his place, and credit where credit is due, but I think we've gotten a bit too obsessed with the cult of personality and "great man" model of thinking that creeps into history, business and science.
I don’t really agree with the idea that Tesla’s are so far ahead of everyone else. Having just road in a model 3, so much of it felt really cheap. From the way you need two hands effectively to open the door from the outside, the flimsy plastic compartment in the center console that you have to “gently” close otherwise it bounces open, watching the autonomous car visualization merge and split apart cars that in reality hadn’t changed lane positions (deeply worrying), to the single point of failure touch screen eliminating any other part (for cost savings), I don’t see what the big deal is (except for their range/price, which is far better than everyone else). I hear the model S and X are better, but at their price point there are many other really nice options as well.
Enlighten me, please.

If you're going to do something questionably legal, turn it into proper research, with multiple data points and a control, and publish the results. It doesn't have to be a formal paper. Something like a blog will do. You might also want to look into studying other factors - racism, sexism.

The latter.

The biggest advantage of the West has been in the creation of Institutions that create and moderate financial instruments that are not deadweight like commodities. The Stock Market, index funds etc. are all considered “valid” places to put your financial resources in. These instruments invest in real companies and organizations instead of lying around in a bank.

Unless other countries figure out how to do finance better they won’t be able to create the same dynamism that Western capital markets have.
We do distinguish manslaughter and murder however. Someone dies either way, but in that case intent matters.

I think in most of these cases the intent should simply unleash an additional charge or penalty - leading to the imprisonment of executives.

If my company accidentally does something extremely stupid or negligent, or against the interests of my customers, fine me enough to ensure I create systems and oversight to attempt very hard not to.

If it turns out I was doing so intentionally, lock me up and throw away the key.
Business-Stock market index plunges further on profit-taking – Onyi News
I own an anthology that these come from, it is really a cool book. Modern logic classes typically try to find a very organized way of getting from basic to advanced logic in a very orderly way, partly because there isn't nearly enough time to cover even a fraction of the material, but that ignores a lot of the rich historical roots and traditions in logic that are deeply intermixed with philosophy. It is something of a tradition for logic books to use problems from Lewis Carroll's works in enthymemes and sorites problems. There is a depth of discussion about a lot of things that make you think deeply about assumptions in how we think about the world. Carroll also goes into things like visual diagrams for solving different types of problems (almost like a Domain Specific Language visually for logic problems), problems that are interesting in themselves, puns, word problems, etc. It really reflects a very interesting intellect that was skilled in both mathematics, logic, photography, and literary accomplishments. His letters are fun to read as well; he wrote a _lot_ of them.

Your exploratory attempts with a browser plugin do not sound comparable to what Brave is attempting.

Attempting to dismiss Brave by begging the question isn't convincing: "Brave won't succeed and isn't revolutionary if we assume the revolutionary bits won't succeed."

Claiming - after your initial uninformed and dismissive commentary - to now be an honest and good-faith participant is curious.

Innovating on a new utility-scale ad / content model in a multi-sided market with a new browser relying on a new cryptoeconomic infrastructure which if successful threatens huge, well-funded industry participants is certainly a challenge.

But the Brave team are pretty peerless when looking at the needed skillset, the moment in time for an industry-wide shift seems to be here and the mix of incentives: battery life, speed, memory, privacy, user growth pool tokens for donations, future content payment options, on-device learning model, zero-knowledge proof privacy, cross-device syncing etc are very compelling.

But in this case the imprecision could very well be deliberately weasely.

A naive, and imo correct, response to this would be, "Has Congress declared war on the nation from which the attackers originated?" This assumes that the attackers were state sponsored.

If the answer to that is no, then if I were in the position to make a decision, i.e. a judge, I would say, "Sorry insurance company, this wasn't an act of war, it happened a year ago and Congress didn't declare war because of this attack; pay up."

That doesn't answer the questions you raised, e.g. is the the peacetime killing of non-combatants illegal, but it answers the question in the article.

For reasons not clear to me, "ride in" just doesn't work as well as "drive every day for a while". From the latter point of view: one hand is plenty for the doors, the plastic thing in the middle irritates you the first dozen times then it's fine, and the single screen is a large win. The screen doesn't "test drive" well, but for daily use many find it highly preferable.

Still, to get more wide adoption they should fix the irritations for the next iteration. There is no reason for either electricity or self driving to imply doors that are tricky to open or a strange center console closure. Fixing those distractions would make it easier to sell more.
Plenty of CEOs schedule meetings. That's pretty much the same thing. Tracking time is just allocating some time off to do a thing.

But it's entirely different reasoning. Their job is more to make decisions as it comes or at least to link together people who can solve a problem or make a decision, and track it for their own uses. Most of the things managers do don't apply to people who do the work, e.g. waking up at 4 AM, working long hours.

Scheduling interrupts flow, and is thus very bad for creative workers. But tracking time isn't so bad. I track all my work, partly to estimate things like how long a page takes to set up, or how long it takes to build a dashboard.
I'm sure FB improved its monetization and will continue to improve it as it grows as a company. But they also benefit from an overall increase on online ad spending - which is expected to grow 19% this year ).

https://techcrunch.com/2019/02/20/emarketer-digital-ad-forec...

Nearly 19% increase in online ad spending overall + FB's 8% growth + improved monetization and you can see why FB ad rev increased 30%. Online ad spending is expect increase by double digits for many years so FB, GOOG, etc are sitting pretty as long as they can hold onto and grow their userbase.

Even if FB did nothing, their ad revenue would most likely increase by double digits every year simply because the digital ad space is increasing by double digits every year. Money is pouring into digital space and they have one of the biggest buckets.

isn't whether the founders could or could not have envisioned such a weapon somewhat of a moot point? the right to bear arms wasn't established simply because guns are a nice thing to have but as a means of ensuring that the government could be held in check by we the people. that doesn't work if the people are limited to flintlocks and the government has literally anything they can develop with practically unlimited scope. i don't really like guns at all, i find them loud and boring really but it's strange to frequently see people who argue that the spirit of the constitution must be interpreted further than the exact language only do so in a one sided manner that just so happens to align with their preexisting beliefs.

I read this analysis that before the Dotcom bubble burst, unicorns cashed out in a similar fashion. The authors were proposing to watch for the next wave as an indicator, as VCs would be trying to cash at the best time (or at all) before a recession.
The only positive "policy move" would be the agency being cutoff, disbanded, and any employee involved in attacks against persons on US soil or US persons abroad going to prison. Announcing that they may be shrinking their scope really has no bearing on the matter that they continue to operate with impunity.

Here is a simplified overview. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=rStL7niR7gs

Basically, if the foundations for a nations weath is agriculture or industry it needs widespread infrastructure. However, for centralized resources like oil, very little infrastructure is required and improving the national standard of living is both expensive and dangerous for the ruling party.

Please default to trust. Just because you didn't understand my statement doesn't mean it's nonsense. I'll try again.

Everything depends on how you frame it. When making decisions, you can maximize utility for just yourself, or perhaps for friends and family, or maybe for everyone in your small town. How you choose to frame who you care about will determine the decisions you make. If you include "the government" in this frame of reference, there is no overall change in net utility when a ticket is given. Someone pays a large sum of money (negative utility) and it goes into government coffers (positive utility).

People who put change in meters likely do not include "the government" in their system of utility. In that frame of reference, a ticket being written is a net decrease in utility because the positive utility of government revenue doesn't matter.

My point is, actions that seem irrational to you may actually be understood as rational when viewed from a different frame of reference.

I don't understand why some perceive the big screen as a "cost-saving touchscreen". It's so much bigger than any other car uses, I would guess other makers perceive it as a "way too expensive touchscreen”.

I do not know the actual manufacturing cost comparison between the Tesla big screen and the corresponding set of buttons and other cars, but I think the key difference is a radically minimalist design aesthetic. I suspect both a bunch of buttons or a big screen are sufficiently inexpensive.

The Tesla decision is more similar to Apple's decision, who was not saving money when they put the largest screen ever used on a cell phone, covering most of the front of the first iPhone. Even though in the long run it probably turns out that the big touchscreen is cheaper than a bunch of buttons which individually wear out and must be warrantied etc.

So any attacks, including pearl harbor would fall outside the jurisdiction of 'war'. It would also mean that the U.S would likely never truly declare war via Congress since it would annul millions of insurances and would lead to insurance premiums going up to levels never seen before.
