> I don't know of public sources to cite, but I've seen the data. If there exists good public material about how these companies source their data, I haven't seen it.

So, it sounds like you're speculating.

> These companies will accept data from essentially anywhere they can get it, not all of that will affect your credit score but it'll certainly affect your person profile. Name(s!),addresses,ssn(s!),dob(s!) and whatnot associated with an individual "person" id.

Look, I'm sure you're right, they do collect all the data they can. However, there are two caveats:

1. Implicitly or explicitly, they're also assigning confidence values to the accuracy of that data. They know that data you're legally obligated to be truthful about is more accurate than data you aren't. So if you're lying to them on store loyalty cards where no credit is being issued, that data gets prioritized somewhere between "useful for printing out and using as toilet paper" and "actual toilet paper". Data from your actual lines of credit is worth more and they know it.

2. While the credit bureaus have incentives to take whatever info they can get, loyalty card issuers don't necessarily have incentives to give them that info. I have a discount card for a local grocery chain. They could give my data to a credit bureau, but then the other two local grocery chains would be able to buy that data. That's their competitive advantage, gone. Why would they do that? I guess there's some value in protecting your data from a local grocery chain, but it's unlikely that fake data gets back to the credit bureaus anyway.

What I'm saying is that I don't think the steps you are taking are an effective means of protecting your data.

Best math talk ever.

Mr Ghrist, if you read this comment (I hope you check HN before Reddit), you are the Umberto Eco of math.

As a way of thanking you, here's a poem which I hope you will enjoy. The poem was written exactly 100 years ago, although I'm not sure if there's any meaning in this.

I do not crush the world’s corolla of wonders
and I don’t kill
by means of mind the mysteries I meet
along my path
in flowers, eyes, on lips and graves.
The light of others
destroys the spell of mystery concealed
in darkness depths,
but I,
I with my light enhance world’s secret –
And as the white moonlight
doesn’t diminish, but shimmering
more it increases the secret of the night,
so I enrich the dark horizon
with greater chills of sacred mystery
and all that is unknown
becomes even more enigmatic
under my eyes
because I love
flowers, and eyes, and lips, and graves.

There's a lot of hate in the Go community for languages like Haskell, and a lot of pride in Go for "keeping it simple" and "staying out of your way."

Yet if you watch Go conference videos or read Go blogs, you'll see quite a few idioms like this one, which boil down to just wanting to use real types for things, instead of layering semantic meaning onto strings or ints or nils, and keeping that meaning in your head (or in the docs).

What is exciting about the tools we provided in this competition -- especially the weights and biases leaderboard is the level of transparency you get that you don't always see in a Kaggle competition (unless it is shared voluntarily). You can see:

- All the system logging information including CPU/GPU utilization, with the runtime and type of GPU card used
- Extensive logging of model training progression
- All of the model artifacts and metadata
- A link to the code on GitHub with the code that ran that data.
- Anything emitted to stdout (for logging)
- etc.

This allows for extreme reproducibility and insight that is very helpful. With these tools, the community can see if an "ensemble everything: method is used and how long the model takes to train and what resources are consumed, etc.

I want a well-put-together electric car that's completely analog from the user's perspective. There's not a single user-facing digital feature I've ever seen on a car that I wanted, and in fact most of them make things worse.

Obviously there's some non-user-facing stuff, i.e. all-wheel-drive, which computerization has revolutionized. But any user-facing stuff is just awful. I want an electric car, but I don't want to be forced into some awful proprietary OS touch screen just to adjust my A/C, and I'm afraid companies are using the switch from gas to electric as an excuse to go in that direction.
"Fishing" in police work is kinda the opposite:

Yes. I work on a Linux distro, and the amount of time my 1st gen 32 core Threadripper has saved me is truly mind blowing. It made it possible to do changes I wouldn't have dreamed of.

As an example, I worked a bunch on our PostgreSQL infrastructure, but we support 5 years of versions. So you have to CI/integrate your changes and test them across all 5 versions, every time you test. My machine could do this on the order of 2-3 minutes -- recompiling everything from scratch every time, and running all integration tests on all versions. There's no CI system or cost-effective cloud hardware that would have given me turnaround like that. In the end I was doing hundreds of builds over the course of just a few days.

In contrast, at $WORK we have a C codebase that takes < 1 minute to compile on my 4 core work laptop. YMMV.

It's not - see Zappos pre-acquisition.

The point the article is making is that if you want great customer support you need to design that into the company's business model, and so it gets reflected in all sorts of places - cost structure, org chart, target market, customer expectations, etc. And then if it turns out there is a segment of the market that doesn't care about customer support (which is fairly common with tech companies), you cannot effectively compete for that segment. Tech businesses frequently have network effects or strong economies of scale, so a company with no customer support but a decent product can often eat the self-serve end of the market, then use the profits and market leverage from that to build a decent customer support operation and attack the higher-end market segments. This is the model that's been employed very effectively by Dropbox, Github, Heroku, Google, etc.
The history of Gatsby is interesting. If my memory serves me well, it was started as an open source project. Then the developers of this open source project got funded by VC.

So the pattern is like this: open source project -> get funded by VC.

The other similar case is IPFS (open source project) -> Filecoin (get funded by VC).

Anyway, congratulation to the Gatsby team! :)

> Maybe if MB, BMW or Audi leapfrogs Tesla in both charging infrastructure

I think this is the wrong perspective. Daimler, BMW, Volkswagen, and others are investing in common charging infrastructure through joint ventures such as Ionity (https://ionity.eu/en/about.html). Ionity is available to all EVs that can charge via CCS (which includes Teslas).

ICE cars can be fueled at any fuel station regardless of their make and model. EVs should also be able to charge at any charging station regardless of the brand.

Tesla says its mission is to "accelerate the advent of sustainable transport". If that's true then when will Tesla convert their fast chargers to CCS and allow all EVs to charge at them?

... which means the amount of money spent is _not_ trivial. If you are not policing your costs, regardless of how "trivial," then how are you optimizing your profit? A "cost of doing business" is still a cost on your books. $100 is trivial for a larger business but if you're talking someone small or a side hustle, $100 is something that is not trivial.

> Anything that guides an investigation is supposed to be admissable evidence or else you get into fruit of the poisonous tree territory, which is illegal.

Slight correction here.

The FPT doctrine makes it so most[0] evidence obtained illegally cannot be admitted. It doesn't work in reverse, it does not imply that all inadmissible evidence is illegal.

For example, the first half of many investigations is full of inadmissible hearsay, before you narrow in on what happened and find the people who actually saw something and can testify. There's nothing wrong with talking to people to figure out who knows things, and see how stories changed when they were told to different people, so you can more fully understand what happened.

How this applies to your main question --

It might be very difficult to use a DNA database company results in a US court because you might have to involve a ton of witnesses to vouch for every part of the process. Suppose the defense asked, "But how do we know the post office didn't mix up different samples that day!?" You would be forced to either (a) have the USPS provide testimony establishing a full chain of custody, or (b) just test the defendant now to verify the match. It will always be easier to do (b), so I'd guess[1] everyone just skips to that step.

[0] Even FPT has exceptions...

[1] Maybe there are other procedural ways to approach this that are more common now, I haven't been involved in cases like these or researched it specifically, my criminal procedure knowledge is getting really dated so I might be wrong here.
