Yes, you are. The events surrounding what happened to my wife was very painful (an ectopic pregnancy that nearly killed her), and a thoughtless reminder was very unwelcome. I still feel violated and betrayed.

In our case, I found out the marketing list from Enfamil and bought it for my zip code. I complained to the hospitals’ privacy officer and the state regulator and found that everything was legal.

There is a lot of data on the topic...

Linkage to lifestyle data: https://www.statnews.com/2018/07/18/health-insurers-personal...

In our case, the hospital pharmacy issued drugs to her indicative of a pregnancy. The pharmacy or insurer provides that information in real time to data brokers. The pharmaceutical companies assign quotas and send salespeople for certain drugs. There are other ways for data to get out that we’re not certain of. Perhaps the insurer “anonymizes” and sells subrogation information. Or the lab. In any case, they knew that my wife was admitted to an OB floor of a hospital, but didn’t know the outcome.

It’s not going away. The US government uses these same techniques with companies like Google to combat extremism or terrorist conversions — they actually use factors like this to target potential recruits with counter-information via ads.

What's your point? According to your link aviation emits twice as much CO2 than long distance road travel. Clearly limiting long distance travel would have an impact. Doubly so if aviation was reduced.

Yet many global elites (Obama, Macron, et. al) agree to impose heavy restrictions on vehicle emissions used to feed, transport, and employ the average citizens of their countries. Meanwhile those who can afford it take needless trips across the globe to entertain themselves.

Air travel should be limited to those that have a reason to fly that out weighs the damage it causes to the environment.
I tend to agree. It makes no sense. If you're an activist, and you live in a democracy, why wouldn't you affect change more meaningfully by participating in the democracy you live in? Why would you buy something that itself has a carbon footprint (manufacturing, distribution) and that will only serve to politically damage the cause you purport to care about? What do you want people to do, fly only battery-powered passenger airlines? They don't exist. A climate change activist should know this.
It's not as important as you would expect for a couple of reasons:

1. The size of the data is often much smaller - the savings from using an nlogn time algorithm vs a n^2 algorithm are much smaller when n=10 versus n=10000. There's a good chance that the constant time setup will dominate for those smaller datasets.

2. To a certain extent, embedded systems don't need to be as fast as possible - they just need to be "good enough" to meet their deadlines so that the rest of the system functions as expected. It'd be nice to be able to compute 1000 CRCs per millisecond instead of only 10, but if it already takes 1 millisecond to transmit the CRC over the serial bus, it's not going to make the system substantially better at its job.

So yes, there is a lot of handcrafted code, but quite often it's just implementing your standard naive brute-force algorithm with minimal code size, minimal memory overhead (preferably without dynamic allocation), and well-understood worst-case latency.
Seems like this shouldn't be the default. As accepting and then refunding a payment is so uncommon, it should require extra code for that case instead.

> If you're an activist, and you live in a democracy, why wouldn't you affect change more meaningfully by participating in the democracy you live in?

Attention getting stunts are an important method of participating in democracy, the primary and most effective form of such participation is influence campaigns, not voting (voting is a behavior influence campaig seek to guide, but an activist by definition seeks to have more effect through influence campaigns than they would have through their own vote.)

I think there is an inherent in optimizing for retention time. Ideally, the recommendation should help find stuff which improve people's health, make them happier, or more informed about the world.

I believe it's called "intelligence gathering" and "law enforcement". How do you think it works?
They can if given permission to. For certain apps in iOS it’s usually an application asking for location permissions without a real good reason for it, that’s why (in my opinion) it seems like weather apps are some of the worst offenders for this stuff, as it makes sense to give it location permissions. There are other permissions that can be abused as well, but location is the dead give away.

I can’t speak to Android as it’s been a long time, but iOS is pretty strict about what you can and can’t do in the background. There are certain events that will “wake up” an app, even one that is killed. You’re not necessarily safe if you have a bad app installed and kill it. I usually just recommend avoiding free apps that seem super heavy on ads. Because the ad framework is likely abusive, even if the developer didn’t intend it.

You are aware that mentioning the god Kek is a post-hoc explanation, right? People care about kek-themed stuff because of World of Warcraft. The tie-in to Egyptian mythology was a convenient coincidence.

Regardless, you might not be a hate filled racist. But, a whole lot of hate filled racists use the Kekistan flag as a thinly-veiled symbol of hate filled racism. So, be aware: that's the message conveyed to the world at large when it is shown. Not Egyptian mythology.

I am way better at practicing things I wanna do. I stink at learning shit I am not enthused about. Here's a thought I had earlier today...

I hate going to the gym. I just don't like it, and that makes it hard to get good at it. I can make myself go, that lasts 1 to 3 months, I eventually hurt myself because I was to cheap to invest the resources necessary to learn proper form, I take a couple weeks off, lose all my progress, and get stuck on the fact that the same cycle is gonna have the same outcome, and I just stop going.

I love going to handstand classes. I see the same small group of people most classes, I know most of them by name, and for some reason I like working towards handstands. It have been taking these classes for 6 months, and my progress is slow for reasons (discipline, bi-lateral radial head replacement, weak starting point), but I love going. I spend the time necessary to learn the body awareness I need, and I get private lessons when I get stuck on learning something harder.

I highly recommend not bothering with exercise choices you think you have to do, and seeking those you wanna do.

What is the power of a person, separate from a group? When there are three hundred million people, how much individual power can there be? Or should there be? The accumulation of power in structures is inevitable.

Moreover, the fact that this is even an open debate suggests that calling the current state of affairs totalitarianism is a bit exaggerated. There are multiple groups currently vying for control of every aspect of life, with no single group having complete control, and people throw in with the one they feel closest to. I don't know what that is, but it doesn't match totalitarianism.

It should also be worth recognizing the British only did that because they knew they could no longer hold on to Hong Kong.

They also tried to stop Portugal from giving the people of Macau citizenship because they were afraid the Hong Kong people would also demand it.
Yeah a static analysis would have been awesome. Now the refund amount has gotten to over $300 because of the time users tke to update their apps.
What I'm talking about had a much more involved test than Fizzbuzz at the beginning, IIRC something like 5 small projects, but with your choice of language, and a generous amount of time (days). During the interview, it was simpler, but in an environment I'd never used before and a language which I had disclosed up front I didn't have recent experience in. It seemed like they were only interested in hiring new college grads at the end, but perversely the process started by senior people referring me and screening me. While I admit it sounds like sour grapes, I thought later that the organization probably had communication/coordination problems that would've made it unpleasant to work for.

In some organizations, they start by recruiting people they think have talent in general, and then the interview is about finding where you fit in.

In others, they have a very specific need and they focus on winnowing down the pool to get the (hopefully) best person for it.

The place I'm talking about seemed to have a split personality.

Also, I've had enough interviews, both successful and unsuccessful, to be clear that there is no "normal". Every place is unique, as was this.

Near the end of the article: These kinds of incidents make us wonder the real cost of Code and the more real cost of messing up

Imagine having an app about there ticking away and making pretty decent revenue. Little do you know there's a subtle error in business critical code (e.g. in-app purchases, ads, etc), reducing the revenue by over 50%. This is something I've seen first-hand and have become quite paranoid about. I suspect that it happens a lot. The reality is, no matter how many times one looks at their own code, there is no substitute for continuous testing of typical use cases in a production environment, ensuring that business critical code functions as expected. It's a continious process, because even if the code works properly at the beginng and isn't modified, the underlying OS or API's it interacts with can change and introduce unexpected behaviour.
He raised money for start-ups and was a marketing consultant. Ended up on advisory boards for various start-ups and most recently as a CXO for a prominent start-up (which got tons of traction but ultimately went down in flames). He had his hand in a bunch of different companies and often worked for equity and a small fee.

And as smart as the guy is in many respects (language, social skills, etc), he is a dumb-dumb when it comes to technical anything or analysis of any type of market/business. But holy fuck, that guy can sell anything (most especially himself - was a fascinating person to watch).
I was surprised when I read that he moved back from Fluter to Kotlin, down the line I read it's due to APK size.

The swastika also has a fascinating religious history, and has deep meaning to people throughout Asia. You'd have a hard time explaining that as a reason to fly a Nazi flag in the US, and few people would be interested in a complaint about people being close-minded about what the swastika represents. You could display a Buddhist swastika, but you'd have to be very careful of how you presented it and the context in which it was presented.

It's hard to have too much sympathy for people who casually evoke "Kek" and then are shocked to learn people believe them to be white supremacists.
That was only because they could no longer keep Hong Kong and the handover was inevitable.

Britain also tried to stop Portugal from giving the people of Macau citizenship so they wouldn’t look as bad when they didn’t give citizenship to the people of Hong Kong.
Yes passive signal detection behaves like this. Apple uses passive and active Bluetooth in their stores to determine what products you are looking at.
I'm confused by this. It doesn't quite mesh with the more recent numbers I'm familiar with such as [1], which shows modest gains for the bottom 50% wealth households from 2013 to 2016 [1]. My guess is that the dotcom bust recession and great recession both knocked down bottom-half wealth holders far more than the interim percentage gains to arrive at the net decrease quoted here.

The "top 1%" and "bottom half" are categories, not entities. They are made up of different people in 1989 and 2019, not the same people getting richer and poorer respectively. The author wants you to imagine a bunch of rich people having more and more money each year, and poorer people having less and less. This is not what the statistic means.

I agree. The GPL is sort of a hack for people who don't believe in Copyright. In an ideal world, there would be no difference between GPL and public domain, but in our world the GPL forces people who use your code to behave as if everything were public domain.
He may be liberal or not, that is irrelevant. OP said was that he was a gateway to the alt-right, not alt-right himself.
This sort of phrasing ("throw away their values") to me has the connotation that normal people have an exhaustive, complex, and perfectly logical system of "values" which guide them like a million-line computer program until they reach a breaking point for some unclear reason.

Which I'm describing in a way that sounds ridiculous, because I think it is. It's ridiculous squared to imply that I (or anyone) can infer how someone else's putative system of values works.

I have a distaste for Facebook, although I still use it, kind of like I would for an unpleasant person at work. But that has nothing to do with principles, which I don't admit to having.
I'm not sure I agree with that because of one thing: commutes. How long was your grandma's commute from her empty hill to the places she wanted to go 56 years ago? How long is a commute from some empty hill in the east bay to downtown SF today? People would be really happy to move to some run-down emptyish area if it didn't mean the tradeoff of 3+ hours a day wasted.

It's also important to note that 56 years ago economic opportunities tended to be spread out a lot more than they are today, so it's a bit of an apples and oranges comparison.
So, like, everyone gets the same return in the market - say 5% S&P500 avg return - and so the total return on more money is more than the return on less money, because math.

1.05x100<1.05x1000

And, of course, we all know those with capital get better returns on everything and access to all opportunities. Hence the rich get richer. But that's life and math. So?
Most work for wages. Workers work a few hours a day creating wealth and keeping the wealth they create. The last few hours a day, they keep absolutely none of the wealth they keep - it is expropriated by heirs. It is a social relationship - we work, they live off our labor. They are parasites, and they have little helpers who they give crumbs to and argue their case, including those who tell guileless fools that a magic man who lives in the clouds named Jesus will make sure they never die.
> The author wants you to imagine a bunch of rich people getting more and more money, and poorer people getting less and less

There is no language in the article to justify this statement. None.

And btw, statistics on class mobility are pretty damning in themselves, if you care to look them up.
So... what is the lesson you want us to take away? It's true that individuals have varying amounts of success and move in and out of any given bracket all the time, but why is that important to what is clearly a demographic point?

On average, if you were poor in the 80's you're poorer now. Some of your poor cohort aren't as poor, and some have lifted themselves out of poverty entirely. Yet more of them are doing worse than they were.

That's bad, right? It's a problem you'd like to see fixed, yes? And it certainly is what the statistic means.

And how did the top 49% do? A.k.a all of the middle class and above.
> The author wants you to imagine a bunch of rich people having more and more money each year, and poorer people having less and less.

That's exactly what it means, though. If you hold an investment for a long time, the returns compound. So your wealth grows exponentially.

Conversely, for the poor (debtors, really), compound interest works against you. For example, a college graduate could have an income-based repayment plan and see their student loan balance grow, because of the compounding interest. One of my friends on social media posted about this horror in their financial life this recently.

Do some wealthy people lose everything? Sure, lottery ticket winners often do. Do some poor people ascend to the 1%? Yes, many immigrants of modest means come to the USA and found successful companies within the United States (proportionally, when compared to citizens born here).

But the takeaway of increasing income inequality is very real. A small silver lining: The U.S. middle class is shrinking, but that's because a good number are moving into the upper middle class, depending on where you draw the lines between "middle class" and "upper middle class". Using inflation-adjusted dollars, more households bring in $100k than just two decades ago.
Simone Weil is the patron saint of anomalous persons
Those numbers don't match the ones in the article. Or the real world. If the bottom half of society was getting the "same return in the market" (for any definition of market) it wouldn't be poorer than it was in 1980.

It would be more accurate to say that if you distribute a combined / derivative work that incorporates those 10 lines of GPL code, you have to do so under the terms of the GPL. To do otherwise is copyright infringement of the GPL code.
