The liability would be the same as a GDPR dataleak, or comparable. If the data leaked is sensitive enough, you might get fines and punishments by other regulatory bodies or industry bodies (PCI audit might be failed next time, so no card processing anymore).

The victim might be able to sue for damages incurred by the identity theft.

In my experience, some companies place high dilligence on the process. A bank I requested information from sent a postal letter containing a code to my mailing address. The Germany Postal Service has a special service to allow identifying people, so the letter contained the code and then I had to bring part of the letter back to the next postal station along with my ID card.

Once they got the confirmation of the ID card along with the code sent to me, they sent a CD-ROM with the information encrypted and the password via mail.

Many occurrences before October 15th. "Ok boomer" has been a phrase in internet culture for a while now.
Dupe and flagged previously as well:

Our parents. Are you talking of Gen X? The boomer generation? In general, your statement seems to apply to Gen X. But not really the boomer generation - e.g. they didn't have affordable college like Gen X did. Gen X seems to have been at the crossroads of things shifting and kind of got the best of all worlds.

And for Millennials, some have it rough but some don't. College was cheap and affordable for some of them - certainly more affordable for them than the boomer generation. Keep in mind the generation spans to 1981. Some Millennials are almost 40 now.

Gen Z is in a whole other category of course. Lots of things going/have gone rapidly downhill. But boomers mostly aren't the parents of these people. It's Gen X/Millennials.
Oil products only take up ~10% of current production, and it will be even less once energy demand decreases and drives prices back up. That's low enough for a single country to monopolize & sustain the world's demand on its own oil production.
Your point is well taken but please keep in mind that the inputs for fuel oil and plastic aren't the same.

For example, plastic production requires ethylene which is a different product of the fuel cracking process. Notice the PE or HDPE in recycling brands, the E is Ethylene.

Drawing a 1:1 relationship between gasoline and plastic inputs is not accurate.

> I think the VPN vs DoH argument is a fallacy. You could argue the same way for things like telnet vs ssh and it would make just as little sense.

I do not see how the two are equivalent.

DoH does not help you at at all if your browser is going to go to an IP that is on a watchlist. That is the author's (and Paul Vixie's point).

HTTPS does protect exact content (like SSH), but the fact that you are going to (say) wikipedia.org, eff.org, or torproject.org, is much more difficult to hide because at the end of the day, if you're not using VPN, the network operator can see where your Layer 3 addresses are going to and can make inferences about your actions. And in some places inferences are 'good enough' to get you in trouble, or at least flagged for further monitoring.

> DoH is also not meant to "hide" what you're doing as much as it is about enabling you to protect your DNS queries from manipulation.

Technically speaking, if you're not getting DNSSEC signed results back, you're also trusting your DoH provider to not manipulate records. ;)

That's because the US government is still fundamentally democratic and follows the rule of law. Such a government might also treat your data with some due process. A government that's willing to use force to arbitrarily enforce its will is also one that would do the same to Uber and its executives. In that environment Uber would not resist.

Yes, the technique is general. Take a QR code and do the same manipulations and you get 2x scanning speed and 4x redundancy with no change in the algorithm.

I've actually improved it significantly since then, where it's possible to also store 2^8 data in something resembling a QR code, while keeping the same scanning speed as today.
Previously I had heard primarily good things about Ubiquiti on the grapevine, mostly about the performance of the WiFi equipment and the ease of use and central management via the GUI.

Why is there no value in the general knowledge and coursework itself?

There are people getting MBAs that started from literally zero business knowledge. Let's say a Computer Science major, who has now worked in the industry writing code for 10 years, wants to move into management. Where would that person get any business knowledge if not for that course work?

How will that person relate to the aspects of the business that management needs to be aware of without the kind of basic accounting, finance, and legal coursework that is part of a typical MBA program?

Sure, someone who is already on the business side with a lot of experience in that area may not get any value out of an MBA.
>It would be trivial to see how much workers were communicating with each other in a remote team.

Only if you keep metrics on all your communication tools regarding who talks to whom and for how long. That means, chat, email, phone calls, etc. Which many workers would be uncomfortable with since it's blatant and visible tracking. Worse, easy to gather numeric metrics that are known about tend to become KPIs which tend to become gamed.

>In fact, I don't know how you would even get your purported "useful information" unless as a manager all you're doing is micromanaging your employees all day?

You lift your head and walk around the office every so often. Amazing what you can see from a distance. Who is sitting next to whom and talking. Who is with whom in an conference room white boarding. Chat with people casually about what's going on next to the coffee machine. And so on. Trivial, to use your own phrase, for any half-decent manager without coming off as micromanaging but rather just sociable.

edit:
>In a remote-only organization, communication is necessarily all done in a matter that's transparent and not transient like face-to-face communication. You claim doing so remotely is more difficult but do not substantiate this. You claim that face-to-face discussions are effective... for what reason? What about face-to-face communication makes this more effective? Just a bunch of unsubstantiated claims made here.

It's obvious to anyone with social skills and common sense. As a species we have evolved to communicate face to face. Not just words but gestures, facial expressions, posture, tone, etc. That's all part of what we consider communication. Especially important when there's potential conflict going on. Digital mediums are far from perfect and lose many of those characteristics.
In defense of "the Boomers," and believe me I have plenty of gripes about trends within that generation, we Millenials aren't exactly above reproach.

I can agree that it's not nearly as easy for us as it was for the past few generations, but it's not nearly as grim as most make it out to be. To put it bluntly, I see a lot of the same "me me me" mentality that the Boomers have been criticized for.

There's the idea that life is just handed to us, so long as we "do the right things." It's perfectly possible to own a home, raise a family, what have you. You just might not get to work the job you want, study the degree program you want, or live in the neighborhood you want.

Look at politics today, though. The party that is speaking out vociferously against climate change and inequality is the Democratic party, whose voters are statistically much younger, more educated, more urban, less white, less religious, more female. Now look at the GOP, which handed out huge tax breaks to the rich/corporations, and who denies climate science...GOP voters (and the politicians themselves)_are older, whiter, more rural, more male, and much less likely to believe in climate change.

It's just simple demographic facts that Boomers are politically much, much more likely to not care about climate change and financial inequality. Yes, it sucks that older folks who do care are being painted with a broad brush, but that's the nature of quick and dirty articles.
Well, that makes sense. Why would a Software Engineer need the knowledge that's a part of an MBA program?

If you were in a role that required some basic knowledge of the business, and you didn't previously have that knowledge, I'm sure it would come in handy (i.e. basic accounting, finance, and legal concepts).
What? The phrase itself is just a current meme, inspired by the recent boomer/zoomer memes.

It is partially an ironic revenge against the "are millenials killing the economy?" type sentiments, and more generally used to say that the target has an old fashioned and self absorbed worldview: resisting social change, blaming younger generations for societal issues or trivializing their problems. This is nothing new, the "crazy uncle/racist grandma at christmas dinner" is a very much a thing people already talked about years ago.

So the behaviour against the younger generation was already unfriendly (and has been so since forever [1]), and the only thing that has changed for the older generation is that someone says "okay" to them and proceeds to ignore them. That is hardly "the End of Friendly Generational Relations".

Public core animation APIs on Apple hardware are plenty fast. I suspect the issue here is that web browsers are acting as yet another abstraction layer and thus are introducing more performance overhead. Electron is probably trying to squeeze as much performance as it can get or electron has a rendering cycle that makes it hard to have it not skip frames due to overhead. Best thing to do is to ask Electron devs.
>Papers from people with no grounding in the subject matter don't get the big journals

No! Papers should be judged by their merits, not by their authors. This is why in many fields, it's customary to send a blinded version of the paper to the peer reviewers, without the author's name or affiliation (this is called double-blind peer review).
This weird paranoia about the government acting with no consequence seems to never extend to 2nd or 3rd layer thinking. If the government could send a team of armed me to kick down your door at 3am and forcibly confine you to a cell with no due process, they could do the same to the CEO of Uber to get your information in the first place. Having a layer of indirection in the form of a private company is little-to-no protection against a despotic regime. It only works if the government is still following the rule of law themselves.

The post lists Auto Differentiation as one of the techniques that can overcome non-differentiable loss functions. Can someone explain how this is even possible? After all automatic differentiation[1] is a way to compute gradients/derivatives in a way which could become costly if otherwise done(symbolic differentiation[2]). The function or the operations defined in the function(in case of source-to-source differentiation[3]) needs to be differentiable.

That's not really true. However, we do have very strong views on privacy and security, and in connection with those, on mandatory telemetry. These aren't just on a whim. They arise as a practical consequence of the types of client and data we often work with, and our formal obligations and ethics in connection with those. Ubiquiti isn't special in this respect. We don't have any Windows 10 systems either, for example.

The problem here is only partly the original decision. It's actually much more concerning that they don't really seem to understand why that decision was a problem for some people or that they did anything wrong. How can anyone trust an organisation that would pull a stunt like this and then think a simple opt-out added under protest was sufficient to address the issue?
To be fair, I think the "peak oil scare" was good. That's when we all started to focus and take renewables seriously. I find it funny that OPEC never learned from its mistake from the 70s when there was the oil shortage and fuel efficiency became a thing. To be aware, fuel efficiency before then was never worth mentioning in a car sale. Yes, it never became too big because the shortage ended, but it at least got started.

Without the peak oil scare, we wouldn't be "this" far, I think. Humans need a burning fire under their ass to actually do something.

Promise you this though. Don't think big oil will be down and out. They're going to collect all the cold hard cash they can this next few years. Then, they're going to strangle the commodities needed for renewables. They'll start buying rare earth mining rights, processing plants, manufacturing companies and all. Making sure they make the biggest dollar from the beginning of the energy food chain to the consumer's doorstep. If they can't make money from oil, both God and I as their witness, they'll make their money from lithium and battery manufacturing. To think they're a bunch of mustache twirling dummies is the biggest folly people have.

1. What do you get out of a face to face discussion that you don't get from a zoom call? I would argue that remote teams have a strong advantage there: remote teams rely more on written, async communication. This forces product and business experts to really think about what they want engineers to do. Having to write things done is the best way to avoid the usual handwaving "just add a checkbox there and we're good". Yes, it may seem to be taking a bit longer with some back and forth, but in the end you get a more solid and clear path forward.

2. Maybe, I've never observed that either as an IC or a manager, so yeah, if there is such a toxic culture it's a problem.

3. Don't you have weekly 1:1 to dive into that? I would argue that relying too much on observations instead of directly asking people is a problem.

> In contrast, Jack Ma, co-founder of Chinese online shopping giant Alibaba, has championed 12-hour working days. In April 2019, he described the "996" pattern, in which workers do 09:00-21:00 shifts, six days a week, as "a blessing".

Yikes, that sounds depressing.

> A report commissioned by the Labour Party in the UK suggested a four-day working week would be "unrealistic".

The report seems to be missing the point of most 4 day work week initiatives which is that we spend a ton of time not actually working because people feel like they are expected to always be in the office between arbitrary hours. Just because people "work" less doesn't mean their output is changing. Unless your definition of work is warming a chair.

Expect a lot of news articles to be published explaining that oil remains the future despite the urgent need to get rid of it

1) The world's biggest banks will do their best to find gullible buyers of SaudiAramco' fees (taking nice fees in the process)

2) the commercial media in every industry (financial or not) knows that a lot of money will be distributed to anyone who promote such stories (through ads, exclusive content, or else)

3) that's enough to have thousands of writers pumping articles depicting oil as a necessity / necessary evil, while owners of that oil are just trying to dump it as it becomes a thing of the past.

I don’t think that’s fair, exactly. The point of this exercise is to show artistic expression by pushing a medium outside of its intended use. There’s also an artist that paints in MS Excel, for example.

SVG is an incredible and underrated format. You can create illustrations in svg with modern graphics tools, yet still hack and animate them with css and js. And CSS Houdini is a really exciting development, too.

Some things about the web platform are frustrating for sure, but this sort of project isn’t any kind of statement on the effort required to build modern web graphics and illustrations because you’d never approach it this way. It’s just a fun puzzle for the artist, and every tech and medium has examples of this sort of thing.
