Happy to see this, my reaction is that they are serious about pushing the plan forward in the long term; and they are careful about managing the risks. That's the type of innovation I admire and enjoy the most.
I declined corporate MDM on my personal phone. I’m confident that abuse of my data would be against policy, but I don’t feel like taking the risk that our technical controls can or will guarantee adherence to policy. At the end of the day, whatever agreements are in place, someone has access.

I’ll take that kind of risk with i.e. Google employees and my Google searches, because it’s fundamentally necessary to provide me good search. There is just no reason to do it with my corporate security team and personal SMS.

Finally back at a computer, can reply to this in full now:

>I would disagree, You can make Text-only links look fairly harmless too. The issue is more often that people do not look at all, even in text-mail, what the link points to, not that they can't see it (plus you can hover and the browser still shows the URL once you open it)

It would be difficult to argue that it's not at least more difficult to phish people with plain text.

>Only if you use an ancient and outdated client that doesn't block external resources by default or proxies them over another server.

This works until you click any link in the typical marketing email, or click "show images" to make the email readable. Remember that you have to train these careful behaviors into non-technical end-users.

>You can make them more accessible than Text though because you can prevent the screenreader from trying to read out the link or irrelevant information

This only sounds useful for spam or marketing emails (which are the same thing 99 times out of 100).

>It feels a bit like complaining that people on the highway drive so fast that you can't properly merge into the rightmost lane with your oldtimer car.

This is an uncharitable interpretation. We don't use these email clients because we're old fogeys, but because they're better and more efficient for our workflow and needs.
This is another "nuke" article that doesn't have any application to the present climate change crisis. This is because it almost entirely relates to the failure of the bureaucracy in the UK to find a way to fund and build reactors using old technology and existing regulatory frameworks.

Any future reactors build to sever us from carbon dioxide producing energy technology would probably need to be built using new technology which would both allow and drive the need for a new regulatory framework.

A new framework could be designed alongside new reactors to avoid the pitfalls of older systems regulatory frameworks with the result being both lowered cost and increased safety.

Many of the people arguing against greater use of nuclear power seem to ignore the fact that advocates aren't talking about using the old technology... most agree I think that old style reactors are too expensive for a number of reasons, not the least of which is the amount of regulation created for them by well meaning politicians.

The article's author also seems to assume that renewables like solar and wind power are a viable alternative to large scale constant power generation, when they really are not because of the need for constant baseline power for industry 24/7. Unless a disruptive energy storage technology appears, renewables are too variable in output to maintain a constant supply to e.g. foundries and factories.
I'm mostly using a Super5 fountain pen, about on par with a Lamy Safari, with Monteverde blue-black ink. Totally agree on the writing experience... a fountain pen just feels so much better than any ball-type or felt-type pen. So my EDC is just the Super5 and a Uni-Ball Jetstream (mostly for receipts), but I really should carry another pen as a sacrificial "Hey, do you have a pen I can borrow?"

Came here to say this! I still can't believe credit bureaus are allowed to even exist. At no time do I give them explicit permission to collect my (very) personal information, there's almost literally no way I can opt out (short of not participating in the modern financial system), their interpretation of this data has an outsized influence on my quality of life, AND they have proven themselves incompetent at protecting this data!

If I'm worried about Facebook's use of my data the answer is simple: stop using Facebook.
There will always be business managers that put their company's crown jewels into a complex spreadsheet managed by an amateur or semi-pro. With millions of dollars flowing through the pipes surrounding them, they will make ignorant technical decisions just to save $1000.

It's analogous to being able to hire a full-time personal physician, and then self-diagnosing all your medical problems with quartz crystals and pendulums, and not even the free and reputable medical information sources.

We routinely give out free advice, such as:

I consider this to be more like a polemic to shift the overton window of acceptable email restrictions.

Probably much of what we enable in email could be restricted without loss of actual useful features. Each feature adds attack surface, complexity, and compatibility concerns that can be avoided by using the simplest possible subset of features.

> In which case we should see toilets going uncleaned, coffee not being made in response to minimum wage hikes and a clear spike in unemployment that couldn't be attributed to anything else. Doesn't happen (c.f. Dube, Lester, Reich (Nov 2010)).

This effect could be explained by capital consumption. If you already have a business you can't switch your entire capital to adjust to the new costs. But new businesses will invest more in less-labor-intensive coffee machines, smaller/worse bathrooms, and wouldn't fire the staff immediately and take the profit hit now and not invest later. Human systems tend to hide away consequences by playing with future expectations, because they are easy and invisible.

Exactly. It's surprising that the article doesn't mention iOS 13 and user enrollment which hopefully solves the issue.

Is this really high on your list of things to worry about? If someone doing something illegal sends me an email that happens to go to my work account that happens to be on my phone, law enforcement will just go to my employer. If someone sends me classified military secrets or something to my work account for some reason that gets sent to my phone, they can track me down, show me a warrant, and go to town. I rank that concern just above "what if I have a doppelganger that happens to be a spy and they get a hit on my face with facial recognition?" on my list of things to worry about.
Close (YC W11) Is Hiring a Product Marketing Manager – Remote-First Company
Absolutely, it's such an incredible bubble of self-delusion that becomes quickly evident to people who try to use SV-produced products outside of the prosperous, no-weather climate, highly connected world of the Bay Area.

I mean, trivial things like Android Auto looks great, until you lose coverage, or your network gets really crappy -- then it starts to behave in ridiculous ways like: try to send a message, and instead of saying "I can't do that right now because X" or "I'll try later" it spins for a bit and then tells you that contact doesn't exist, etc.

If I can't trust SV engineers to deal with common edge cases that result from a place without perfect Internet on a product like _that_ -- why should I trust them to build a car that can handle a climate like mine, a place that has intense and powerful winters that cover all markings on the road, leave black ice patches all over, and have the cars around you using ad-hoc lanes or traffic patterns due to obstruction or severe conditions?

SMH indeed.
I think we mostly agree, but were kind of discussing different aspects.

Inflation can be stoked by the literal creation of the base supply of money (known as M1 to economists) as well as interest rates (which effect the growth of the other levels of money via the velocity of money trading hands).

Hyperinflation is almost always a former, whereas general high inflation is usually a product of the later via artificially low interest rates, though the later can be caused by overhang of a suddenly contracting economy. But to get in million-level percent sustained (hyper)inflation, it's gotta be the growth of M1.
Police shut Mill Avenue to investigate 2018 Uber self-driving car death. Why?
Being a cop (at any level) does very much bias your view of things. Nobody calls the cops (or the FBI, DOJ, CIA, etc.) when things are great. Police tend to only see the absolute worst of human nature and the worst things that people do and develop biases accordingly.

I've known a few cops and they all have stories that are hard to hear and are worse than what you hear on most true crime shows. I assume access to high level intelligence involves endlessly seeing cases where people were caught attempting to purchase weapons grade nuclear materials, endless plots that never happened but are very scary to read about, etc.

That being said, it is bias and it shouldn't be allowed to unilaterally influence politics. Banning strong encryption is both impractical and destructive to our society and economy.

People's luggage goes to the wrong city all the time, thanks to mistakes by airlines or baggage handlers. The policy is that the passenger can't book his luggage on one flight and then opt not to take it, not that they will never take unaccompanied luggage.
The reason these paid services are successful in the US is because we have a fully functional and very threatening legal and corporate system that will find and punish people that steal their content and distribute it. This makes it inconvenient or risky to use free services (about ~13 years ago it was more convenient to pirate, with p2p sharing apps being very popular at US colleges and any music or film a click away, before enforcement ramped up).

Does India have the same level of legal enforcement? Why pay for a streaming service if they can pirate content?
I'm really curious where you live or work such that your self-driving cars are better than your Uber/Lyft rides and you're observing all these near misses where a real human would have definitely had an accident?

Also, I assume you are also considering all the times that humans entirely avoided dangerous situations that self-driving car wouldn't because they were able to anticipate the actions/movements of (possibly several) other actors/objects and even communicate with these other actors to negotiate intersections?

Do you have a source for the data that says self-driving cars have fewer accidents per mile? Does that include miles driven on closed tracks or is it just orders of magnitude lower than the miles driven by humans and less statistically significant?

They don't? Demand is increasing.

However as the sources for software developer expand (and the barrier for entry goes down, along with more people going into the field), the availability is drastically going to outpace it.

We had a very short period of time where even entry level engineers with no CS degrees had companies begging them to join them, but that's quickly going away, and its slowly creeping up the ladder.

If you're a principal engineer or even "only" a senior one, you're likely still at a point where you have people trying to woo you every single day. That's not gonna last.
It won't die, because the argument has the same merit today that it always has. That being said, I think it's useful to attach images to an email (not necessarily embed them in the content of the email, but attach them for sure).

IMO HTML email is worse today than it's ever been. Often when I get an HTML email it takes me longer to parse it. On the bright side, the presence of HTML is a decent indicator of a marketing email that can safely be ignored.
I’ve run a Pi 3 as a PPS clocksource. I used a netbooted aarch64 buildroot on ramdisk, experimenting with rt-linux as well.

I saw similar performance, including those occasional spikes. I found that the flood of interrupts caused by the usb chip - they are handled in the driver rather than on chip - were detrimental to accuracy. Temperature variations were another source of inaccuracy. I didn’t figure out how to connect an rtc together with the gps hat.

I might try again on a Pi 4, I think it’s possible to power off the usb chip without losing ethernet as it does on a Pi 3.
Thanks for your hard work on VLC. I love it. Throwing you a quick donation so you have something good happening during an otherwise rough time.

@ you and any lawyers

I know you probably don't want to go to some long-term battle in the courts with any of these groups. What about a libel suit in small claims court against each one? I wonder if that's even possible. If so, start with one to keep time/costs down, then (if victorious) hit the others either one at a time or simultaneously. At the least, the wins raise you some funding while providing some small deterrence from them doing it again.

What do you mean? " (like Amazon fulfillment workers not being able to take bathroom breaks without risking accumulating points which may result in them getting fired)." that isn't true and it's very misleading for you to post. I am a full time Amazon employee and I use the restroom as many times as I want in a day without being questioned and what are these points you're speaking of about accumulating points? You don't get fired from things that simple, you get fired from write ups, misconduct behavior etc.
> If my company needs me to be available beyond my 9-5 workday, they can pay for it.

If you're salaried then they are paying you for it based on the job requirements, it's part of the job and one of the things that separates hourly employees from salaried ones.

Unless you're talking about the cost of your cell plan or device? But even then, a lot of companies will pay for your plan and subsidize part/all of your device if they have a legitimate work reason to need to contact you and expect a fairly quick response outside the office.

EDIT: To be clear I'm referring to US law/practices. The entire point of salaried as opposed to hourly work is that it is based on performance rather than hours, and it's up to you and your employer to come to agreement on what performance means. At some companies salary might be for 40 hours, at others it's for 60 or 80 regularly. It's your own responsibility to find out before taking the job, and decide for yourself what you're willing to provide or not.

Investors have known for a long time that a fine was coming. This was already priced-in. Facebook has been planning on this and reporting it in SEC filings, which they are required by law to do. Now the matter is closed, and for the amount that they already warned investors it would cost. There should not have been any downward movement in the price, and there wasn't. Now the matter is put to rest, and the market likes that. If anything, the price should have gone up. Stability and predictability are good.
