Thanks. It's an interesting place.

I think the saddest thing about Appalachia is the fact that much of the really interesting parts are disappearing. Everything in the country, including Appalachia, is WalMart-i-fied. It's all strip malls and chain stores. Everybody listens to the same music, surfs the same sites, and buys the same swag. As a species we are homogenizing everything.

I have fond memories of walking into a country store in Grundy, Virginia where I bought a coke. The guy behind the counter spoke in a language I couldn't understand at first. Then I realized it was English. I have another fond memory of walking into a startup where they were on their way to making billions. These memories happened only several dozen miles from each other. There's a lot of cool stuff going on here. I can guarantee that whatever media you've consumed about it misled you in many ways.

How does removing an app from the app store help them track down a stolen phone?

It doesn't. The Apple report is broad, and lists all government requests.

The headline writer chose to focus on App Store takedowns only.

Superchargers are DC and match the car battery voltage.

Pretty much all other chargers are AC. Even if they were DC, they would need to match the battery voltage or you're going to get wierd things like "this charger can charge your car up to 70 percent, but no higher because the charger can't go to a high enough voltage"
Also, attempting to take it down would surely cause reputation damage to Microsoft. The "old" Microsoft is somewhat infamous. Going after the small guy would not help their image.

I see no philosophical difference between adjusting in-camera settings (aperture, focus, white balance) and this. In both cases, you're modifying the "feel" of the image (in fact, with preprocessing, you're generally affecting the image in a wholesale manner).

Digital cameras don't "capture reality", either. They scan the image over a small period of time, same as your average display in reverse. It's essentially a really fast time lapse, on the pixel level. Arguably, that's as much "not reality" as what Apple is doing here.

I mean, I guess I understand the idea of "capturing reality as close as possible". I just don't see much merit in caring too much outside of an academic context. This isn't deepfakery. This is shifting eyes to provide the much needed feedback of eye contact while on a video call.

>is arguably hard unless they could read the key from RAM...

That's the fine print that kind of makes FDE a bad fit for mobile. (At least FDE as it's typically implemented.) I don't think it's any secret that Trust Zone has a larger attack surface than Secure Enclave, but cold boot attacks to extract data from RAM are stupidly pedestrian. At least make it hard for them.

Apple's self destruct is extremely poor UX for any user cursed with the misfortune of forgetfulness, but it's a lot more secure than Android's Trust Zone.
And assuming the array has sufficient redundancy to allow multiple disks to be offline, which a RAIDZ1 vdev doesn't.
The offset camera position also "changes the content" just as surely as this new process which compensates for it.

> But… at less than 40K/s! Turns out that very logically the failing disk and its timeouts was slowing down the silvering, so I learned that to avoid this kind of situation, you should offline the failing disk from the zpool:

Yeah I ran into this too. I wish raidz would route around the slow drive by re-balanceing reads to the more performant drives based on IO queue depth (reconstructing data from parity if needed). They do it for mirrors, but not raidz.
>> MySQL doesn't support partial indexes

> This is true, but is it really a show stopper?

They are invaluable for performance as well (somebody mentioned unique partial indexes as constraints). They generally let you avoid partitioning your data (eg. partioned tables) and getting the same performance benefits by simply having conditional indexes.

They are sometimes the difference between a sequential scan of a 150M row table and an index lookup in <10ms (especially if the index is in the memory cache).

Once you try them and get the benefit, you can't go back to not having them.
Women have been earning more degrees than men since 1978.

For the past forty years, there have been no male-only advancement programs, and (nearly) all sex-based funding has been provided to the majority sex, to advantage them in any field where they’re not currently dominant (and sometimes, just to advantage them in general).

It’s a willful and generational-scale violation of Title IX: that kind of sexist favoritism of the majority is blatantly illegal under discrimination laws.

For forty years, feminism on college campuses has been a majoritarian, sexist power movement — and now it’s spreading to the workplace, as a generation of entitled women graduate and demand the continuation of privilege.

It's hard to take this blog post seriously when there is not one but THREE open Github issues which poses a serious question about the credibility of this whole pagespeed circus. It's just fundamentally wrong to claim that pagespeed speed score is based on the Lighthouse speed score when hundreds of people are reporting otherwise and even Lighthouse is suspiciously silent on this matter.
It might actually turn out for the better. Google is a big target; they can't fly under the radar.

As for demolishing small businesses, small businesses aren't an universal, unquestionable good. In this particular case, we need less adtech business in general. It's like dumping toxic waste into rivers - not only lots of small polluters aren't better than few big ones, the desirable thing is just having less polluters.

If you have space you can “zfs attach” the new drives to make mirror vdevs with the disks they’re replacing, and then “zfs detach” the old drives to break the mirror when done.

This is preferable because you’re never exposed to any additional risk of data loss and can replace more disks at once than original pool redundancy would allow.
Even when the humans that run these distribution broker companies have the best of intentions, economic pressures create risk over the long run that the broker will act in ways which its artist customers do not like.

This really seems like a place for a member-controlled cooperative.

I suspect that this goes without saying. Don't expect monopolistic, profit-driven enterprises to be operating under any sort of "morality", because they pretty much aren't. This is just as true of iPhone as Android or whatever.

Two is not enough? So what are you doing about it? It's not Apple's fault that Google now has pretty much all the rest of the market for smartphone ecosystems.
So does that mean that everyone "dumb enough" to have a smartphone deserves to have their privacy obliterated by the manufacturer of that phone?

And of course anyone within earshot of any of those devices also deserves to have their privacy obliterated, even if they themselves don't own one?

I really don't understand why people don't get the utility in these things. They're useful. Being able to control lights in the house, control the TV, set timers and reminders, listen to music and the news, manage grocery lists, and more are all super useful.

I have Google homes, and I (and my family) use them on a daily basis, they're useful. That doesn't mean we forgo all privacy, that doesn't mean we deserve any violations, that doesn't mean we are okay with information being collected against our will.

My family and I are comfortable with the tradeoffs that the device makes, we trust that the company won't break a ton of laws and won't be "listening" when they explicitly say it's not. We are able to delete information we don't want Google to keep, and we are even able to set the account to automatically delete all recordings after a specific period of time if we want. And we trust that the company isn't just lying when they very explicitly say that when you delete something it is actually deleted.

I also support more laws and regulations around this, what they can store, how long they can store it, what they can do with it, and mandated ways of controlling your information.

You may have different priorities, and that's okay, but I absolutely hate this idea that people who want the benefits of these devices deserve anything, and the implication that only those who don't care about privacy have them. And a token "I don't believe that" doesn't negate the sentiment you wrote right above it. I'm an adult, I'm able to make a conscientious decision to trade some of my privacy in a controlled way to get benefits from it, and that is no more wrong than you wanting to protect your own privacy.
I think the comparison to bank bailouts is fair: in his autobiography, Iacocca complained that he had to go to Congress to get a billion dollar loan, but the Federal Reserve routinely loaned similar amounts to banks (although I don’t know how well he understood banking, so his definition of loans to banks may have been unfair).

So here's an example of a Steve Bell editorial cartoon. He's a leftwinger, in the fairly angry and vicious tradition of British satire, but this is a fairly restrained one:

https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/picture/2019/jun/0...

It's a comment on the pageantry around the 75th anniversary of D-Day, and directly refers to a famous cartoon from WW2, which was published on VE Day by the (also socialist) cartoonist Philip Zec:

I wonder what a good approach would be for academics. There's already a very strong and I think unavoidable have/have-not divide between those who have knowledge (faculty) and those who don't (students, who go on to become teaching & research assistants).

And many academic institutions even add another power structure: non-academic administrators, whose primary incentive is to expand non-academic administration, build buildings &c.

And then there are collegiate sports. I don't even know why those exist, but for some reason they do, and for some reason they are an important power base in an American university or college.

I think it would make sense for a college or university to be primarily run by the tenured faculty: they do, after all, have the knowledge which is the whole reason that a school exists. They don't necessarily have administrative skills, so it makes sense that there be some sort of executive, accountable to the school government.

Perhaps there could be a tricameral school government: tenured-faculty senate, non-tenured employee representatives, student representatives. Assign certain decisions to each; make certain decisions decidable by two out of the three and others requiring all three to agree. Make administrators accountable to all three, perhaps on a sliding scale such the the chief administrator can be removed by one house but the lowest level of employee needing censure by all three to be removed.

But I honestly don't know if that would help.
I guess exclusivity has its own value.
imagine living some place where cops actually investigate stolen phones.
It is nice to be idealistic, but what you wrote is true. Just like people think companies are doing best things for their customers. Companies do what is best for them, and it happens to align with what customers need, sometimes it is better for company to do something that is not good for their customers. The same applies to employees, most of the time what you do aligns with company goals, but when it does not, you have to change job or do something else.

Hi, I'm the author :-)

I've left significant levels of details about pagespeed on the lighthouse issue tracker over the last few months. It's really frustrating to see the lighthouse team being blamed for something that isn't operationally even theirs… but that's a big company for you.

The biggest contributing factor to unstable pagespeed scores is the power of the machines that do the tests. Last time I checked the scores / bench mark scores for pagespeed were all over the place. … All the same, it's really important to understand how it all works. Hopefully the post had something for you?

zfs replace does not require you to offline the drives. TFA only suggests it as a workaround for the reslivering being slowed down by a faulty drive.

Perhaps the people with the compulsion to leave have already done so? Kind of what is being call "The Big Sort", where (politically) like-minded people seem to be congregating to the same neighborhoods:

Your assumption that they go through the same work flow might be mistaken.

The same type of questioning applied to banks and transferring money:

Why would it cost a bank more money to print and mail checks to individual people when they already do balance transfer payments every night to other banks and branches?
> Why does it cost more to Spotify to let the unknown-Joe-Blow-not-signed-to-a-label upload his 4-minute song?

It all boils down to that Joe Blow is an unstrusted actor and big label is not. They needs to check that Joe Blow is not uploading Bieber's latest song as his own and that all the metadata is correct while they not need do that for most labels.
Seems like it will to me. Here's an example using tabs for indent and spaces for alignment:

I’m not familiar with the process, but could there also have been a fraud aspect (not copyright) to this that wasn’t worth the effort required to prevent? Upload “songs”, generate lots of listens, get paid.
Youtube is built around letting random individuals upload their videos, it makes a lot of sense for them to implement clever automated filters, contentID etc... And even then it doesn't seem to work that well since I very often see videos popping up of Youtubers complaining about abusive demonetization and false-positive flagging.

On the other hand I strongly suspect that the overwhelming majority of the music streamed by Spotify comes from "the industry" instead of artists uploading their own songs themselves. Implementing complicated filters (and playing the arms race game against people trying to work around them) is probably not worth it for them.
Can't one be ambitious about not getting overworked?
The Hideous Name, The principles of good naming [pdf]
Link rot for academic sources is ridiculous. Several of the links to academic paper PDFs are broken. There really should be a better way of dealing with this. I guess university IT departments remove user accounts when a professor or researcher leaves the school, and that results in deletion of all files on their personal academic sites. Would be nice if there was an accepted, standard way of "rolling over" these files to the next school where the person ends up.
It doesn’t capture reality. Our own eyes don’t even do that. We don’t even know what “reality” is because we only experience it through our the filters of our mind.

CCDs are just stupid light buckets and the reality of them is, at best, a spreadsheet showing those counts. Everything beyond that is a choice someone made to present things a certain way.

And everything before the photograph is taken is that way too. Framing, exposure time, time of day, choice of subject... etc. all influence the “reality” captured in the photograph.

Half the reason you probably think they capture reality in the sense you mean is because photographers not shooting for Instagram generally try very hard to make it appear that way. But... they don’t.
It's very different. My expectation that of my smart phone is that it's not listening unless I want it to (I don't). If I find out it is listening/recording and it's configured not to then I will find an alternative.

The "smart speaker", on the other hand, is 100% useless if the microphone is disabled. It also has microphones designed to hear as far away as possible given its design.

Finally, the phone in your pocket and watch on your wrist likely handle the audio data very different than that speaker manufacturer. You might find it useful now, but don't discount now you'll ever find it intrusive.
