When writing medical software, HIPAA was an ever-present monster forcing me to consider all potential ways we'd be under a company-ending event. Once your fine totals exceed $100,000, you're required to issue a press release detailing how bad the damage is, in addition to the fines that stack for each violation (each patient's record would be considered one "violation").

I'm surprised any company keeping health information would be willing to sell that data without extensive legal protection, whether or not that data is protected explicitly under HIPAA. Seems to me like this should be treated like any other PHI breach.
In tangentially related news, Reid Hoffman, LinkedIn co-founder, spent some time last week defending Ito's connections to pedophile Epstein.

I suspect you're being glib, but you could look at https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/OSM_for_the_blind
Doubtful. The bitcoin community would react how it usually reacts towards large thefts or scams: blame the victim. I.e. It's their fault for not understanding X, doing Y, or having Z security; in this case the fault being having that much BTC in one wallet and one transaction.
I don't want to debate the amount of shoehorning necessary to validate the metaphor. We all understand concretely the issue at hand, the metaphor is only obfuscating at this point.
If your property is wrongfully seized by the government due to some criminal activity, you can file a claim to get it back. This happens all the time when a criminal is caught with stolen goods. The thieves do not have the best claim.

It may take some time and effort to get the property back, but there is a process.
It sounds like you've written your own Kubernetes. Congratulations, I guess.
Sure, but that would require progressive policies implemented by electing progressive politicians. US voters seem to screw themselves over time and time again by voting for the status quo or in some cases regressive politicians. So long as people keep voting for those who promise no change, why would anyone expect anything to improve?
> a private corporation can choose who it does business with. A company has the right to refuse service

This is not true.

I would strongly encourage you to read up on the history of anti trust law.

I chose the example of train lines for a reason. The reason being that this literal thing happened. It is the literal most famous example of antitrust law, of all time.

The sherman anti trust act was created, for the literal purpose of prosecuting people, related to railroads, in the example that I just gave.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_United_States_antit...

> if a private train company buys land across the US, lays down track with their labor and their material, they are not forced to let other companies use their tracks.

Yes they are. This happened. Literally this exact situation happened. It was called the Standard Oil Company. And they used the railroad system in the exact way that I described, and it was was broken up, in the most famous example in history of anti-trust law.

Check it out here:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_Oil_Co._of_New_Jersey...

So once again, this is not an argument about what could happen. This is instead an argument of literally what happened, in the most famous example of anti-trust law, in history.

You cannot disagree with what happened, related to the most famous example of anti-trust law, in history.

I am honestly not sure if you know what anti-trust law even is, if you don't understand anything about the most famous example of anti-trust law in history.
I think the scientists are monitoring volcano activity. For the public there is little we can do except watch and take action if we are told to evacuate
I wish I could upvote this multiple times. Lmao - amazing!
This utterly sickens me - it also gave me a thought - If the uninsured could pay medicare or medicaid pricing for services, they may not need insurance to cover their care.

The uninsured should always get the lowest price the hospital is willing to charge anyone for that service, period.
I understand the US is spending more. I'm wondering what is the baseline to compare US spending growth rate.
(edit: I just had to restart Keybase app.)

If I see four checkmarks and "Register inside the Keybase app" what am I missing? Do I just need to make sure I have a stellar wallet, or is there something else?

I'm using the Keybase app for MacOS and don't see any indication that I have joined the drop, or prompts which mention it.

The "register" call-to-action button just sends you to https://keybase.io/download which has a link at the top, " News: the Keybase Stellar Space Drop " that sends you right back to the same page as referenced in the post.

It’s also dependent on the hand. I can just barely reach a full octave. I know others who can easily do an octave plus a fifth.
>But it's a door handle that is MEANT to be turned by the public at large.

No it isn't. That's the crux of the case.

>It's like putting a big "Order Inside" sign above the door to a restaurant and being surprised when people try to gain entry.

It's like putting a big "order inside" sign above the door to a restaurant, and then also having a separate door in the back of the restaurant that clearly is used only by employees to go to the back office, and not being happy when non-employees keep trying to walk into the back office claiming "well there's a sign outside...".

>You also never entered the server. The server got your request and served something back you to. You did not go inside the house and read the contents of a book on the shelf, it was read aloud to you while you are still outside the house.

According to the courts, you did 'go inside the house' because the electronic signals that you sent to the server as part of the request are enough to constitute the 'physical contact' part of trespassing.

Again, trespassing isn't just about you physically having your body on someone else's property. It also can be your interaction with someone else's property (which can be land, or a door, or web servers) through the use of tools or intermediaries.
Like other chatterbots that don't really know what they're talking about, coherence between sentences is poor. There's no internal model beyond likely words.

The next stage is something that takes an outline and cranks out a paper or speech to fit. There are specialized systems like that for sports reporting.
It's pretty clear why it hasn't been solved. US voters have no appetite to elect anyone who is remotely progressive, and the status quo politicians are bought and paid for by "lobbying" aka institutionalized bribery. The US system benefits corporations and the wealthy, not the common person.
The “majority of US residents” have private healthcare and don’t have student loans. That majority will pay more taxes to make life better for the minority of people who don’t have those things.

I’m in favor of universal healthcare, but billing it as something that will help the majority is disingenuous. This is the most likely outcome. Costs stay the same or go down a little bit, but nowhere near what it would take to make costs competitive, even as a percentage of GDP, with Europe. That means taxes will have to go up, and by a lot because our public sector is so inefficient compared to Europe. (It costs is 7 times more to build a mile of subway than France, why on earth would you expect building a hospital to be any different?) These taxes will have to be paid by the middle class—because that’s how it’s done in Europe. It’ll be totally unfeasible to have much higher capital gains or corporate taxes than France. (Which has low business taxes and pays for universal healthcare through regressive taxes.) At the end of the day, the middle class household making $80k/year will pay a lot more taxes, and their out-of-pocket healthcare spending won’t go down by much, because they had employer-paid healthcare to begin with.

But the hourly workers and those folks will be able to see doctors! And that will be a good thing. But it will also be quite unpleasant for the majority of people who we’re doing okay under the current system.
Would I be a bad person for saying I'm sad about this because I want to work at Google and I don't like seeing their future threatened?

I also don't get the anti-Google movement, there are far worse things like our broken healthcare and criminal justice system. This seems like one of those "screw the coastal elites" type of thing. Unless someone can give a reasonable explanation of why Google specifically should be targeted instead of other companies that are more conservatively aligned.
Job payloads are certainly not code; they're exposed to the developer as basically blobs of JSON, and the code lives in a "job handler" which is certainly itself not serialized.
What's eye opening is the need for articles like these to seriously investigate and characterize the distinction with humans. Then comments here discussing it.

Beyond all the AI hype, there are notably more scenarios where the question has to be seriously asked and a detailed answer is informative.

It reminds me of the .com bubble in a way. There is too much hype, misunderstanding of the real current state of things, and bad predictions about the future.

However only flip side simultaneously something huge is happening, it's real. The real non-academic milestones of progress are just smaller, more numerous and subtle than the headlines.

In this case, it's not whether it's dangerous that's interesting as much as the subtle improvements made and how the march continues forward by degree.
Double A side with We Can Work it Out. Immediately preceded and followed depending on territory by stuff like Yesterday, Nowhere Man, Paperback Writer etc. Extraordinary.

On reflection they probably would have had no need for a device like this...
I'm torn on this. I think it's good to police flagrant fear-mongering and all other forms of predation on our worst qualities. But we also got here by people and systems preying on other bad qualities like complacency, laziness, helplessness, and blindness to shifting baselines.

Perhaps more to the point: our world is stuffed to the rafters with complex adaptive systems--both man-made and natural--themselves threaded together by positive and negative feedback loops, punctuated equilibria, and participants trained on making decisions under these conditions.

We don't know which threads will snap, nor when, nor where. We don't know how the other systems and participants will react to the ripples. We don't know if, how long it will take, or where disrupted systems will settle into new equilibria.

In the face of uncertainty on this scale, I think there is some value to catastrophizing. We do this with uncertainty all the time. We imagine threats (both banal and catastrophic) to our systems and game them out. We make plans and run exercises. I'm not sure it's a bad idea, per se, to be gaming out dead-end scenarios.
You can patch your kernel, or write your own vm. BPF is ultimately just a kernel module under Linux. My vm runs in kernel space just fine as well (but is built on something that looks more like sel4 rather than Linux on the inside).

If you provided enough of std, or ported that VM to no_std that rust vm would work just fine in the kernel too.
I think people screw around for a fraction of the day, as a break from coding all day. It might make you more efficient overall. A bit like HIIT training for 10km vs. sprinting 10km. Also if the work is getting done its probably OK. When you buy that $10/month plan from Netflix, do you want to know that someone was working hard (not slacking) for 10 minutes at $60/hr ... or do you want to reliably watch movies?
I think you missed that this injunction is the case?

You are saying "the injunction was to stop LinkedIn from blocking access while [the injunction request] is ongoing".

If the court didn't think hiq had a strong case they would not have granted the initial injunction, then reaffirmed it on this appeal.
Laissez faire for me but not for thee, apparently.
By itself not, no.. However if you figure in how said policies came to be, looking at for instance the amount of money the "healthcare industry" spends on lobbying, then the term "corruption" seems not unreasonable.

A version of this line of questioning that in hindsight I sort of wished I had asked interviewing at one previous employer is something along the lines of "How much do you think your executives believe that you do in software they could go back to doing entirely on paper if they had to?" I don't know the precise wording yet, and I know it's not a universally necessary question for every "all of IT is a cost center" firm. IT can be a cost center, fine. Software development can be rolled up under IT for a number of reasons, sure. But IT shouldn't be seen as an "optional" cost center, "software" as some accidental by-product of a business dealing with a lot of "paper" when the company scaled to millions in annual revenue on the back of software-based productivity. There's entire industries, such as Insurance, that have some weird delusion that if they lost all their software overnight they'd just go back to do everything on paper and imagine they'd have zero re-scaling nightmares, brownouts, burnouts, or profit loss. It's so weirdly out of touch with reality, and I think a huge part of the disconnect (including the pay gap) between the ~post-70s C-Suite and the day-to-day operations of the majority of modern corporations.

I'm not even sure had I figured out exactly what that question should be if it would have helped that younger version of myself in the place that I was at, but it's still a useful lens moving forward if I have to stay in the "dark matter" parts of software development in the parts of corporate America that don't consider themselves software development companies.

Languages cannot qualify as sandboxed unless that language comes with a runtime that has a sandbox. Wasm does not. There is no such thing as 'trivial to sandbox'. Wasm doesn't introduce anything new in terms of it's instructions, it's bound by all the same mistakes and errors developers will make in sandboxing as there has been in the past.
So you think application delivery was less "as code" before Kubernetes?

From my standpoint, Kubernetes is a lot more manipulating state and a lot less code than what pretty much anything it replaces. In fact, almost nothing is "as code" until you introduce third party products such as Helm into the mix.

But that matters little, since the point of using it is not technology but standardization. It has the potential to commodify cloud infrastructure. A bit tongue in cheek perhaps and a far from accurate technical statement, but Kubernetes looks more and more like what Openstack should have been.
It's pretty sad to think someone could be in a situation where they are sick and simply won't go to the doctor to get help -- because they can't afford it. The last thing someone should have to worry about when trying to recover from cancer or some other illness/injury is how is this bill going to get paid. I'm in law enforcement, imagine how many less calls there would be if the person calling the police had to pay for the service (directly, full cost). Healthcare should be in the same bucket as other public services, regardless of the income generated by that person.
Personally, I'm biased towards Milwaukee's RED Fuel cordless stuff, because I used a cordless hammer drill of theirs at work and it lasted hours, which signaled to me that if something like a hammer drill going through 1-1/2 foot concrete continuously can last a long time, then a normal drill or an impact driver probably won't die on me while working.

I do like the grips and ergonomics of some brands more than others.

In short, even if some users retain some privacy interests in their information notwithstanding their decision to make their profiles public, we cannot, on the record before us, conclude that those interests—or more specifically, LinkedIn’s interest in preventing hiQ from scraping those profiles—are significant enough to outweigh hiQ’s interest in continuing its business, which depends on accessing, analyzing, and communicating information derived from public LinkedIn profiles.

Reasonable. If a platform helps you make information of an individual public, then why it should matter for the platform how the market uses that public information?

Well, gait is usable as a biometric identifier. While most approaches use video analysis, I found this a paper [1] that is about identifying people through footstep induced structural vibration using a geophone[2].
It would be quite interesting if it is possible to measure the structural vibration using a laptops or smartphones built in accelerometers.
But I think acoustic sensors would be a better way. Or a combination of both options.

Microsoft for two BUILD conferences now has stated putting more weight into Xamarin tooling for desktop as well as mobile (WPF, Cocoa, and Gtk renderers for Xamarin) is an end goal. They exist as community projects already (find them all on GitHub), and it continues to sound like Microsoft only expects to invest in them so much as they find community interests, and maybe a reason we don't hear a lot of people talking about those projects is there sadly isn't enough non-Microsoft community interest in such tools.
Man search for meaning - I think that most people, at some point in their life face with the big question "What is the purpose of life ?". Author of this book is the one who can handle this huge question because he survived death camps, and noticed what give people will to live. Highly recommended.

Flow: Psychology of optimal experience - If you want do double down the concept of Flow (situations where you are so involved that you forgot to eat for the whole day (programming in my case)), how to achieve these situations, and how they work.

> The employees are also asking for zero contracts with fossil fuel companies that use Amazon’s AI technology to help them accelerate oil and gas extraction

To me, it seems like activists spend too much time focusing on the producers of things like fossil fuels, and not enough time on the consumers.

I have nothing against companies which are producing fossil fuels, in general, since they are usually producing a product that has at least some genuine value in many cases. If everyone stopped drilling for oil immediately, it would certainly have incredibly negative consequences. I do have a problem with people who are excessively using these types of products, since they are creating waste that damages the environment - if everyone stopped driving their car everywhere and instead biked when they were able to, it would certainly have a very positive effect.

This is a phenomenal oral history of the events, learning of, and response to the events of 9/11.

If an emergency is a circumstance in which ongoing realities are emergent and aren't predictable based on previous experience or world-models, this is a phenomenal example of those dynamics.

Commander Anthony Barnes: That first hour was mass confusion because there was so much erroneous information. It was hard to tell what was fact and what wasn’t. We couldn’t confirm much of this stuff, so we had to take it on face value until proven otherwise.

I've long maintained that the first signs of a disaster tend to be:

- Information doesn't add up.

- Communications are completely severed.

- Old models of understanding don't apply.

- Old filters or sources of information don't apply, and information overload is experienced because it's not clear what to ignore or what to trust.

Our world models give us the means to process and parse information, but also, critically, let us discard extraneous information at little or no cost. When we're placed in unfamiliar or extraordinary circumstances, "foreign territory" as Col. Bob Maar put it, old models do not hold.

Very powerful reading.
If your plan is to use general-purpose computers for mining then Bitcoin has nothing to worry about. You'll never manage a 51% attack that way, no when all your competition is using ASICs.

Moreover, to gain $184B by shorting Bitcoin you'd need to find someone willing to loan you $184B worth of Bitcoin, and then somehow sell all of it without crashing the price or drawing unwanted attention to your activities. Of course if the price doesn't react the way you expect you could end up paying a lot more than $184B to buy it all back to repay the loan. You shouldn't assume that even a successful (but expensive, and obviously temporary) 51% attack will drive the price down to zero.
