"Obviously, the Department would like to engage with the private sector in exploring solutions that will provide lawful access. While we remain open to a cooperative approach, the time to achieve that may be limited. Key countries, including important allies, have been moving toward legislative and regulatory solutions. I think it is prudent to anticipate that a major incident may well occur at any time that will galvanize public opinion on these issues. Whether we end up with legislation or not, the best course for everyone involved is to work soberly and in good faith together to craft appropriate solutions, rather than have outcomes dictated during a crisis.

The idea that marketing emails = "you don't want them" is fairly popular in some crowds, but it's contradicted by the tremendous business success of using marketing emails. The reality is that most people want and use marketing emails.

For example, I'm signed up for marketing emails from several airlines and these routinely save me money when booking vacations. Cheap airline tickets are a limited resource, so real-time notification of new availability has financial value to me.

Same with end-of-season sales for clothing I like. One company gives email recipients 1-2 days to shop before the sale is posted publicly on the website and social media.

It also ignores the tremendous popularity of email newsletters, which employ HTML formatting to improve the user experience, exactly the same way content websites do. In fact HTML email newsletters are often better than websites, because email clients don't execute javascript. The advertising is far less intrusive.
Well, yes, but then that is not what advertisers want... That is the thing.

Whenever a large enough database exists with individual data, we are doomed.
> Comments can't have tables, so you almost never see any actually tabular data like statistics. I frequently see people misstating copied across data, or getting confused by things that would be simple in a table.

It can be done in plain text, but I don't commonly see it. For example:

Column 1 Column 2
first second
third fourth

> Quoting from the article is very difficult, as laws and guidance often use formatting despite being very simple documents. I've run into this a few times when trying to quote GDPR guidance, and people very often misunderstand quotes.

I have quoted statutes from federal and state laws numerous times as part of a discussions where copying and pasting the text into a plain text format works. For example, a bullet point becomes an asterisk.

> People frequently struggle making lists, or having problems with ambiguity about which point a comment is replying to.

I think it's a lack of convention. I spent a lot of time on email lists, forums and newsgroups and have seen various conventions, but most people didn't struggle to make lists. The most common convention was just to use numbering or asterisks to indicate items in a list:

* item 1
* item 2
3. item 3
4. item 4

> Code snippets just don't work on mobile.

Code is one type of text that shouldn't be soft-wrapped, but the lines are frequently too long to render without wrapping on a mobile.

Not all online discussions are like that. For example, look at the mailing lists for the Linux kernel and git. I've also seen many substantial discussions on sites like this and reddit. In the past, I've learned a lot from newsgroups (usenet).
It is interesting how people are different. Perhaps some group evolution survival strategy? If all people liked being with other people, we would basicall end up all in single place and discover new places and new people far away more slowly. And if all people hated company, we could not build anything big such as towns or countries.
There are a lot of companies that require you to enable MDM before you can setup an email account, I've seen it on android back in the day when I had a smartphone.

FWIW when that happened I just started using the cruddy web interface.
Yup, crap software practices stick around for a long time. Which is why lack of standards is frustrating and we'll never learn from mistakes.
I'm surprised to hear there was a conflict. It seemed to me like they were going with the corporate finance direction.

Kotaku to me is doing a pretty good job at discussing released and older games as well. This year I played Bloodborne which was released several years ago because they do frequently discussed it on their podcast and I'm glad I did.
I mention this because one of the top use cases for MDMs is deploying said MitM setups. It's common in certain industries, like for banks and for schools. Saying this from experience because I worked for a company that produced both an MDM product and a MitM product.

For an MDM solution on iOS there's a big list of supported profiles you can deploy after the MDM profile is installed ( see https://developer.apple.com/business/documentation/MDM-Proto... under "request types").

If the device belongs to the organization, you might not even know these profiles are installed, if it's a BYOD environment you know you are installing the MDM profile and if you open the settings page you can manually inspect which other sub-profiles have been installed by the MDM.

But you're right the MitM itself isn't built into the MDM, because that's a totally different product category ("Secure Web Gateway"). The MitM setup only works if you have an MDM to enforce the certificates and proxy setup upon the user.

This is the novelty. Basically improving on other camera systems by making the optics better. There are plenty of surveillance cameras that offer a similar set of features but perhaps with lower specs (slower AF, less effective processing algorithms, etc.). But I don't think they claimed to be a breakthrough invention, just an excellent first step into the field and a possible improvement over some of the competing offerings. This is more or less standard for border security applications, as an example [0].

There are many extreme long range surveillance systems that probably do a lot better... at potentially multiple hundreds of thousands of $ per unit.

Wish we had more info. I could see a scenario where he actually meant to do this with good intentions, not malicious ones. Maybe he had some information like, the spreadsheet data would be WAY out of date and cause issues every couple of years (just a contrived example). In that case, he would have to fix it anyway. But still that would beg the question, why didn't he tell IT/management?

I think ten years is way too much. Maybe like 3-5 if he had malicious intent. (not a lawyer)
>Facebook must encrypt user passwords and regularly scan to detect whether any passwords are stored in plaintext; and

Why are they storing passwords at all? It's not necessary for authentication. They should only be storing a hash, or better yet a public key derived from the password on the client.

At ICML 2019 there was a good keynote by the chief scientist of the Census Bureau. The 2010 census was before a good understanding of differential privacy, so it wasn't really done correctly. The census bureau actually went back and bought a bunch of commercially available data, and deanonymized ~70% of the individuals in the US (if I remember correctly). So they wanted to do it better this time, and they seem to be taking the state of the art into account. It was much more impressive than I was expecting, actually.

> prohibited from using telephone numbers obtained to enable a security feature (e.g., two-factor authentication) for advertising

Facebook is not alone in misuse or wrongful use of phone number given for 2FA. LinkedIn explicitly requires phone number to be added on the profile to enable 2FA and makes the phone number visible by default to all the contacts, if you don't want your phone number visible; you'll have to loose 2FA as LinkedIn doesn't support authenticator or other alternate 2FA means(FB does).

I came to know this as after I enabled 2FA on LinkedIn, I started receiving messages from random people on WhatsApp whom I later found to be my LinkedIn contacts.
I'd be curious to see where this fine goes. From what I seen most FTC fines go to "the U.S. Treasury for general use". Not even Congress gets a chance to mismanage it.

I think the idea is supposed to be that you have some agency when you share your data with a friend. You can choose whether you want to entrust your data to this friend or not, and the onus is on you to properly vet them for transparency and trustworthiness. Conversely, if a stranger leaks your data, that isn't on you at all (beyond you allowing the stranger access to your data, but that's stretching the metaphor a bit). I don't find this argument particularly compelling though, because the typical Facebook user definitely didn't know what they were getting into when they signed up years ago. I find it hard to fault people for improperly vetting entities that are beyond their area of expertise, and I don't think this mistake on the user's part makes Facebook's practices any less egregious.
I'm pretty sure Moon (who is a famous old-school lisp hacker) will have at least some prototyping quality implementation somewhere, the design is to detailed for a mere thought experiment and there are longer code snippets around:

I read about PLOT years ago and thought the approach to syntax (and macros) was quite clever; I don't remember the exact details but it was the first time I had seen something that was both hygenic and not horribly complex to implement.

BTW, his markdown alternative (MMD -- Moon's Mark Down) also looks pretty nice (expressive and lightweight, but unlike org mode or other monstrosities trivial to parse and unambigious). http://users.rcn.com/david-moon/MMD/HTML/index.html

I wish more people were interested in research distillation. Recently I've been searching for intuitive explanations of different areas of math, and while there are some great blogs that do so, the lack of such materials is indeed obvious.

Sure enough (and I've wondered how much of this is just getting older), over time I find fewer and fewer games to be worth my time. BotW has indeed been an exception; but I still can't get into it quite as deeply as some of my friends who are a little younger. It's a great game, but I cannot find myself compelled to try to find every Korok seed, or beat every shrine. I think I started gaming before there was the idea of being a "completionist"

The only game I've found in the past few years that made me really feel like I did when I was 8-17 is Divinity Original Sin 2. It's Baldur's Gate, but honestly better (BG hasn't aged amazingly if you really go back and play it. It's good, but we've learned a lot in 20 years). And the multiplayer is amazing, and lets you feel like you're playing AD&D with friends.
I think the public will accept a small number of human fatalities, if they arise from things like people crossing the street at night away from an intersection. Most drivers have had close calls like that themselves. What I think will really set self-driving cars back is if they kill someone in a situation where a human driver clearly would not have. If a self-driving car runs over a six year old girl standing in a street because she's wearing an oddly striped dress that the car classifies as a sewer grate - that will be a disaster for the industry.
"Unikernel" is a overly generic term. Technically the Linux kernel is already a "Unikernel". It's just most of the time its discussed as a negative not a positive and the term used is "monolith".

I spent the first month and a half on a level 1 set up, basically an extension cord in my driveway and I was surprised that I only had to go to a faster charging station twice. One of these two times was just because I was curious to try it. You could argue the second time was just anxiety because my remaining charge never went lower than 20%.

The only reason I still got a level 2 chargers at home was because I have doubts a level 1 will be enough to charge in the colder months of winter.

Did you work there? I worked there for 2 years (it was a mistake), and found that the culture wasn't toxic, just obtuse. They never questioned what they did, or thought about the implications. They focused on "move fast," without really thinking through implications of things.
I was referring to this specific case. In this housing example, extra infrastructure is being built for the purpose of segregating people. In your examples the segregation emerges less deliberately.

My previous implied question is still unaddressed. I.e. will this kind of segregation actually spur them on in a positive way, or is a negative effect possible (e.g. lowered self esteem, etc.)?

Not killing pedestrians is just as, if not more important than not killing passengers. After all a pedestrian has no choice in interacting with the self-driving car. The passenger at least made an active choice to put their life in the hands of the technology.
