I see 2 problems with this. The first is that most of the algorithms they’re using are probably based heavily on machine learning, making them inscrutable not just to the general public but also to any experts they have auditing them. Fact is, Google and Facebook probably don’t know how their tech works half the time.

Second, this sets pretty bad precedent. Asking one of these companies to reveal the algorithms they’re using is tantamount to theft. Why should they hand over their golden goose just because a lot of people want it? What’s to stop the same government to take the technology of a smaller company by force later?

If people are interested in protecting the data Google displays, I think a better solution would be to go after who is leaking the information in the first place (e.g. if Google can crawl HIPAA info from another site, that’s the other site’s fault). If consumers willingly hand over their data to Google, on the other hand, that’s on them.

>Remarkable story. It's amazing how closed-minded "experts" can be.

Yes, but it's also amazing how kooky, dangerous, delusional non-experts that think they know better can be -- so their close-mindness is part of an attempt to balance that.

Just two examples that millions of people believe in: perpetual motion machines and homeopathic drugs...

There is no API for pins.
It appears the 737 Max is a total failure. Pushed through by Boing to outpace Airbus, from physical design, attitude sensors, re-certification bypass imperative, and flight control software, finally killing nearly 600 people before being ground. In short I’m never flying in one!
I don’t understand why it took so long for him to get this diagnosis. Elevated adrenaline levels are easily tested for in a simple catecholamine blood test. That test is among the basic panel done when one sees an endocrinologist. It may not have pinpointed his adrenal medulla as the problem, but it should have pointed them in that general direction very early on.
You can bypass this by using the 'Request Desktop Site' checkbox.

Ironically, requesting the desktop site uses more bandwidth, defeating the purpose of a rate limit.
There's a lot of emphasis on the visions people have on peyote in this article, but it never touches on the emotional effects it has, where it is similar chemically to MDMA and causes people to be highly empathetic towards others and nature in general. You could say peyote has the ability to make people ecophilic/biophilic.

At least from my experience with it, it opened up a world of emotions, some traumatic, some ecstatic, and at times listening to music made me feel the music in a very vivid way, as if the instruments were channeling through every cell in my body and made me feel intensely ecstatic and emotionally involved with the song, often inducing literal tears of joy.
Does being qualified grant you access to the code right now? Who decides if you're qualified and if permission is granted?

I don't get the "arbitrary complexity" issue. It's only a problem if you're auto generating everything in your schema, but otherwise you limit the fields of problematic types by hand and that's it.

The same computatational challenges we've always had with mapping relational models to REST didn't go away, mainly: N+1 queries, recursive types and query parameters adding complexity.
Media Shakeup; Vice to Acquire Refinery29, Bustle to Acquire Inverse
Yeah, I think that the newspaper example obscured her larger point that converting machine-readable data into human-readable data and then using text parsing is both error-prone and unnecessary compared to just using tools that work directly with the machine-readable data.

Edit: The meat of the article:

> This gets into a whole thing I call "scripter mentality". It seems like some people would rather call (say) tcpdump and parse the results instead of writing their own little program which uses libpcap. Calling tcpdump means you have to do the pipe, fork, dup2, exec, parse thing. Using libpcap means you just have to deal with a stream of data arriving that you'd have to chew on anyway.

Edit 2: “Scripter” here refers to operating on text files. The Rule of Composition [1] encourages the use of text processing, for example:

> Text streams are to Unix tools as messages are to objects in an object-oriented setting. The simplicity of the text-stream interface enforces the encapsulation of the tools. More elaborate forms of inter-process communication, such as remote procedure calls, show a tendency to involve programs with each others' internals too much.

I imagine we have received the crib notes of this story.

He was able to improve his condition by being on a permenant norad infusion, which is something we only do in hospitals to critically ill patients who are having a hard time keeping their blood pressure in any normal range. Generally, norad is a shorter acting version of adrenaline that acts on a slightly different hierarchy of the same receptors. If it was as simple as ‘too much’ adrenaline, I suspect some benefit effect would have been seen by beta blockers.
Maybe there is, maybe that’s one of the 9 medications he takes every day.

Worth noting also that a condition that dumps way too much adrenaline into the body, phaeochromocytoma, is often an incidental finding; so this obviously presents differently despite having (simplistically, from the article) the same type of mechanism.

The limitations are primarily one of physics (you can't have multiple objects occupying the same space). "Sensible" isn't looking at it from the right angle. This is the largest city in the world, so of course the average person is going to have less space than elsewhere. The inhabitants of Tokyo have a much smaller ecological footprint than those living in the suburbs since they almost all use mass transit to get around. How is this not sensible?
Wait, isn't it possible to research this by setting up a hotspot that shows the traffic on your computer?

Bicycling is pretty popular too (and drivers are more respectful there). So you don't even need to be dependent on rail so long as you live within some single digit kilometers of work.

To give you a concrete figure, I live in Manhattan and have a cross-town commute (i.e. takes longer than an up/downtown commute of similar length) of 3 km that takes 10 minutes. I could easily do a longer commute no problem, and it might even be good for me since I'd get more daily exercise.

Interesting, Croatia moved away from personally identifiable information (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unique_Master_Citizen_Number) to randomly chosen digits https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Personal_identification_number....
Simple... why would the endocrinologist check for that? Much of modern medicine is “I see A with B, so I test for C, maybe D and E.

Once your out of stuff you can think to test for modern medicine doesn’t start throwing tests at the wall to see what sticks... it shrugs its shoulders and gives up.

Now sometimes this is good (hypochondria + psychosomatic problems) but sometimes this is bad... failure to get a diagnosis due to skipping something they didn’t think of.

This is why I always tell people who are unsatisfied with the handling of their medical problems to get a second opinion, a third opinion, as many opinions as it takes. If your doctor says they don’t know why something hurts... ask another one. At some point you should press for referring to a specialist... even if it’s a damn psychiatric specialist because they think it’s in your head... when they check you’re not crazy, that’s one less excuse they have for ignoring your problems.

That’s what this person did here. Eventually the only opinions left were the ones they had to dig up on their own. Sometimes this path even involves researching new (or old/forgotten/misunderstood) but at the end of the day this is how hard it is to understand how the body actually works.

It’s one of the reasons I’m so thankful for my reasonably good health. There’s a nearly infinite number of ways the body can be broken or damaged, the fact is we only understand a small part of the most common things that go wrong and can fix an even smaller number of the things we do understand.

Edit to pre-empt criticism of affordability of this approach: I live in Australia where we have public healthcare so everyone can see a doctor (or twelve) without being driven into bankruptcy.
If I was talking to a reporter and the real number was .01% I would still say "less than 1%" to make sure I was properly understood. The whole reason we use percentages and say "one percent" instead of "point zero one" is that some people tend to get confused with decimals but not with integers.

EDIT: And part of this is just how we say things. "Twenty" is just easier to parse in a conversation than "Two Oh" even though the later is perfectly comprehensible when written out.
You do still have a kitchen in this situation, you're just hiring a cook to come use it.

It's not that uncommon in the US to hire a cook to come cook meals at a college co-op house or fraternity/sorority. My dad's co-op at MIT did this in the 60s. The cost of a cook spread out across several dozen people is very low, and you end up saving lots of time spent individually cooking while getting quality food at much less than restaurant prices.

There's also the issue that, absent having a cook that cooks for everyone, you'd need much more combined kitchen space (whether that be a single giant kitchen or one per apartment) so that everyone could cook individually, and that in itself takes up more space and is more expensive.
They could easily accept a cash deposit, and let you borrow books up to the value of that deposit. Perfectly anonymous.

"In North America, the tiny home movement is fledgling"

The US is lucky to have so much open space which lets people build their own tiny homes. The tiny homes don't feel cramped because they're surrounded by nature, with beautiful long uninterrupted views out of the windows. No noisy neighbours or traffic nearby either.

But take away the countryside location of these homes and could the tiny house work in an urban environment? I doubt it. The future for housing for most people on the planet (including the US) is in cities and urban environments. Can you live in a tiny home where you don't have long, uninterrupted views out of your windows? Or where you only have windows along one side of your dwelling (e.g. single-aspect apartments). Do you feel you have enough privacy when your apartment or house is joined with your neighbour's home?

Millions of people already live in homes like this and have to contend with these issues. Can we have small or modest-sized homes that give us light, space, privacy, quiet and comfort in a noisy urban setting? It's one of the most pressing and important issues in housing design - and one that architects and home builders have failed to address.

Seriously. I can see why people rent them; they're cheap! And you get to live on your own! I was spending double that just for a bedroom in a 4-bedroom apartment in Manhattan a year ago. The bedroom itself was not double the size of the one pictured, though admittedly you have to account for the rest of the apartment too.
I don’t own one, but they seem to be loved in the synthesis/sampler circles.
Because these objects are moving fast, you would need to look a long way out. Long range radar is hard because the inverse square law applies in both directions, so you need 16x the power to double the range.
To be fair, any hardware running a WAF in Prod these days is going to have more compute power than a 737.
Same here, I have one (sculpt ergonomic) at work since almost two years ago and recently I bought another one a month ago.

It was counterpoint to "that does not mean that JSON itself or all implementations have the specific limits of javascript."

Javascript can do arbitrary precision integers now. So the last part is not true. You can generate your JSON strings with string concatenation in JS if you like.

Just because JSON.stringify has some limit doesn't mean JS has.

With regard to protected data, is there any reason for google to index it? They can filter that out and not index it at all.
Again to be picky, not really-really, the algorithm does very little.

If there is not "homocody" the algorithm is "enough".

If there is, then it is allowed to use an algorithm to calculate a different code, BUT this can only be done by the Agenzia delle Entrate that keeps all codes in a database to avoid duplications:

https://quifinanza.it/tasse/codice-fiscale-come-si-calcola-e...

Since the Codice Fiscale comes physically as a credit-card-like piece of plastic, there are no real issues with these "non-regular" codes in person, but - as carlob stated - a lot of online modules (which tend to verify the validity of the supplied Codice Fiscale against the "normal algorithm" applied to the other data supplied in the form, in an attempt to minimize errors/typos) do not usually recognize these "manually" generated by the Agency codes and reject the form.

In a perfect world such forms should warn the user that the Codice Fiscale is not valid (i.e. cannot be recreated by the "normal" algorithm) and provide the possibility to explicitly confirm.

At this point, the whole term "concentration camp" has a negative connotation and implies that the people being placed in the camp are being placed there for innate traits such as race or nationality, instead of based on their actions (in which case we just call it "jail" or "prison". Many people do think of "death camps" when they hear the term, only because of the notoriety of the Nazi camps.

The US ran their own concentration camps during WW2, to house Japanese Americans. Sure, the US didn't go to the depths of the Nazi concentration camps, but that doesn't make it any less deplorable to round people up purely based on their race or nationality (or any other now-protected status).

They should hand over whatever they are required to by law if they want to be available in a country that demands they hand things over. This is no different to cooperating with legal warrants and other law enforcement requests.

Yes. When an expert receives something from an non-expert outsider, statistically, it's very likely that outsiders have no idea on what they are talking about, and only a small chance that the outsider really knows something and even lesser chance that the outsider has made a groundbreaking discovery.

And from The Bullshit Principle (https://statmodeling.stat.columbia.edu/2019/01/28/bullshit-a...): the amount of energy needed to refute bullshit is an order of magnitude bigger than to produce it. As a natural result, if everything from outsiders are taken seriously, wasting 99% of time is guaranteed, so experts are trained to ignore them. Ignoring authentic insight is an unfortunately consequence, but I fail to see how the problem can be solved.

Also, the issue of expert vs. non-expert and insiders vs. outsiders are different. You can be an outsider who rejects established technical dogmas or institutional power structure, while still being an expert in terms of knowledge (although whether someone is being recognized as an expert is a social-political question, but let's idealize), and you're very likely to be rejected from the academia, however, on the other hand, the combination of "non-expert" + "outsider" makes people don't even take you seriously.

Because doctors in the western medicine tradition don't always accept a patient's symptoms at face value.

The person in the story got referred to psychiatry because medicine didn't believe him.

Similarily, many legit medical disorders are discounted as not real symptoms by western medicine until decades later, for example, lyme disease, which is caused by a real organism with a real transmission pathway (ticks), with repeatable symptoms, but was discounted for years as "patients just making things up".

You did not answer the most basic question in my comment. If all you have is this minimal resource, how do you "buy" the rather expensive information necessary for acting efficiently on the market?

Yes, of course you can invest your labor, as you should, but if all you have is this small resource on a completely unregulated efficient market, big fishes can manipulate the price of your labor. If you have a ton of money you can counter their manipulation and make money, but if all you have is your labor you simply have to accept the manipulated price.
