The closet part is not actually true, it's a commonly believed myth.

There may be a few rare localities that require it, but it's not normally required.

Rather the definition requires a certain size of the room.
If it's large and has access to data on lots of people you can bet there are spies.

Hell, Google has real time and historic GPS data for half of America. A government would have to be out of their mind not to go after such data.
Won't work, people probably need to query details of accounts hundreds of times a day just in the course of daily business. Bad actors would just make the request look like another standard query. People would likely become numb to it after having to approve so many requests.

I know at a previous company, we needed a business signoff, and a technical sign off on every deploy. While the technical sign off was usually painstaking, the business sign off was rubber stamped. The guy who signed off on my tickets was so overloaded, he barely even read the titles of the tickets.
Pure speculation incoming: probably a completely unintended bug. Classify as static, static objects shouldn't have tracks, clear the history. Your object is reclassified as dynamic, whoops, we already cleared the history, oh well.
True that, but not mutually exclusive.

Why not? One of the arguments for forcing Native Americans onto reservations was that it would free up the land for more productive uses.
Prompt: The coming global recession is a real possibility and"

Response: "The coming global recession is a real possibility and the Fed is playing games, creating artificial market conditions to make a recovery seem possible in the short-term. The Fed has an option to change its monetary policies but it will not make the problem go away, so it is in their best interest to pretend it won't happen."

Change and to however and you'll get another stereotype opinion. It really just composes pieces of texts it's seen around the prompt, but it does this really well.

Most of the news agencies can now fire most of their monkey typewriters: this GPT will outperform them on every metric.
Unlike a password, a court (in the US) might be able to compel you to provide access to your accounts/encrypted disks via your YubiKey + fingerprint.
I kept waiting for the other shoe to drop on the #fitgirl/yoga pants anecdote. It seems plausible that such a targeted campaign could be more effective than the standard "dump a bunch of money in this set of adwords" crap. At least one executive was really certain about it. The way this section is written, it seems like we're making sport of that guy without actually knowing that he is wrong.
This covered most of my thoughts (also a solo founder). I also have a fallback server running that is an entire duplicate app running on my local machine (in house PC). When an error occurs it fails over to my local machine.

At fail-over my local machine will also switch from the dev database to prod (connecting to the RDS instance). It'll only has read-only access to relevant data, but it'll keep the site 90% functional.

Is it perfect? Hell no. Pretty hacky, but it's kept my application running twice after a failure in the past two years.

No. Passwords can be phished. Even password+OTP has proven to be weak. This cannot be phished, and it’s far more user-friendly.

The fingerprint is not a password replacement. The yubikey is a password replacement. The fingerprint prevents a random person from using your yubikey before you notice that it’s gone and you revoke it.

It seems to have a habit of responding to writing prompts by continuing to write the prompt. College essay fodder like "Write about a situation in which you overcame adversity." produces output that continues with "This doesn't have to be a life-changing event, but you have to be honest." before diverging directly into bullets 3 through 5 of a numbered list of other prompts like "A story about how you did something right or how you have a great life now, and then you go out and do it over and over again.".

On the other hand, I get interesting responses if I instead provide it with the first two sentences of an answer to a prompt. I tried "I was only eleven years old when he died. I started playing soccer and it made me who I am today." and got:

"He died from complications of chronic renal failure. It's just a really, really bad way to die.

You think about that. You're talking to a kid who just died from a medical issue that was preventable, if not treatable. And you think about the kids who die on the soccer field, all over this country, and you think about how that's not OK."

It's not going to fool anyone, but it's a big step up from anything I've seen before.
with horses in particular, you don’t “control”. You establish a relationship and negotiate. Goats are like this too, as are huskies and malamutes and some other dog breeds.

Relate and negotiate turns out to be a much healthier metaphor for getting shit done, too.
same thing happened to me in terms of getting money back.

the reason for the refund was completely different but i was very unhappy with a stay. i wrote a very lengthy description of my complaints and had pictures to back it up. a large part of the issue was they didn't clean the room. i ended up having to fight with airbnb for weeks to get the full refund (they initially refused to give back the "cleaning fee" when a large part of my complaint was the place wasn't clean).

i am not totally against staying at an airbnb, but i haven't booked one since and look primarily at hotels. that bad stay ruined my plans for the last night of my trip and i barely saved $50 from staying at a nice hotel.
It seems like Apple and Microsoft really nailed with focusing on AR instead of VR.
I once spent two weeks tracking down a scheduler bug (it would stop scheduling threads and stall forever) to two assembly-language instructions that were in the wrong order, and would cause a timer interrupt to never fire if there was an interrupt between them. Swapping the two instructions fixed the bug.

So, not a missing semicolon, but pretty close . . .
The best way to protect dissidents would be not to ask unnecessary personal information like phone numbers. Sadly, it is difficult to find a messenger or web email service that doesn't require it.
As opposed to painting people in poverty with a broad brush, saying that they either destroy value or don't generate life-sustaining value?

Considering I grew up in abject poverty, I'm sorry but I'm not going to let remarks like that fly. That doesn't deserve a pass.

I would argue it's weasel words because they're implying it's "really" an open-source license and OSI is wrong. And later on they directly call it an OSS license, directly in conflict with a few paragraphs ago when they say it's "formally" not an open-source license.

> you can inspect, modify and use the code as you can with any OSS, the only things you can't do is commercialize or redistribute it.

That depends on your definition of "use". IMO this is like the the opposite of the GPL and it creates a licensing mess. If I find a piece of code in Sentry that I would like to use in a separate project, that project now has to be licensed under the BSL and subject to those terms unless I can prove I pulled it from some version of the source from however many years ago. And if there's bug fixes to that code, I can't use those bug fixes until the change date expires for those bug fixes. And depending on what license my project currently is, determining if I can even "relicense" as BSL is messy. The end result being that nobody is going to want to use that code in their own projects, and if they do they're likely walking into a licensing mess which they may not even realize.

And that's half the point right? They're happy to take community contributions, but they don't want people using their code. Which, sure, I work for a company that sells software, I'm not against that. But in my view that's not "open source".
The centralization of infrastructure has really changed the insider risk profile at that company. A decade ago it was common for a service to own their hardware and to have broad authority over those machines but not so much these days. Nobody wants to own their hardware, everything is uniform and it's easier to spot deviants that way.

Of course many of the changes around that time were in response to the breach by the Chinese government, not only in response to embarrassing privacy incidents. Later improvements came about because of things Snowden published.

I want to take exception with your neat generalization.

The cable company, at least where I live, (Spectrum) is definitely worse than the government. They have stores, that are like the DMV, but the queue to be waited on is longer - the DMV is significantly more parallelized. And the DMV isn't designed like an Apple store, because people that work for the government aren't quite as shameless about being a monopoly.

When it comes to the feds the IRS has infinitely better customer service than Google (literally, infinitely) and unlike the cable company, when they owe you money, they pay you interest.
i.e. you want to see the facets you'd be looking for when choosing a product to purchase.

For many products and people that will just be the visual appeal, and advertisers target their widest audience.

This is a case where tracking can actually be seen in a positive light - I too think I would be more likely to convert if I saw a datasheet as an ad, but that's definitely not majority. At the same time, obviously fashion ads will convert better as images, in almost everyone.
They're absolutely not an afterthought in Bitcoin, and in fact some of the functionality of Bitcoin Script was disabled to prevent some of the disasters that have occurred due to poor engineering decisions in Ethereum.

Not necessarily, as in the case of a guy who has 800.000 dollars being inequal to another guy with 100.000.000 dollars.

edit: I mean, the cause of poverty is not that some people are rich, because if world trends of poverty are decreasing while the rich are getting richer, there isn't a correlation.

Of course if some rich people get their riches by corruption or some other harmful activity, yes, that may cause poverty. But I would not say that the existence of rich people in general is the cause of poverty. That would imply thinking about wealth as a fixed size cake, where some have to lose for others to win. But it may be that it's rather like increasing the amount of cakes. Nobody loses if we have more cakes.
The thing nobodies mentioned in the article is that these types of barriers are for ingress and egress, and aren't largely practical for pedestrian spaces like San Francisco's embarcadero or a large park. In my opinion bollards still largely win. Ease of construction, omnidirectional impact, and no compromise in devastating stopping power. They're also capable of being aesthetic.
If they replace the entire core every few years the economics will suck. If they replace every, say, 7 years, then this will take long enough to demonstrate that commercial operation will be at 2030 or beyond.

Insisting on looking at today's solar and wind numbers ? Ok, then I also insist we stick with the numbers for currently available nuclear reactors. You wouldn't want to hypocritically allow only projections of future nuclear, right?
I'd be interested to hear what happens if you go to your local teacher's union, and tell everyone there that they aren't wealthy because they don't contribute enough to others and aren't working hard or putting enough effort in.
That’s positioning and marketing too since you don’t really need the performance. For 99% of the time you use the car they’re about the same. If only life were all twisties and race tracks, but in reality it’s mostly traffic jams.

Innovation usually happens in small increments. Uber/Lyft/x/y/z ride hailing app, airbnb/vrbo/booking, tinder/bumble/match/pof/bagel/hinge/x/y/z dating app, friendster/myspace/facebook/twitter/pinterest/imgur/giphy/justin.tv/twitch/reddit/hackernews/discord/beam/dlive/slack/x/y/z social app, they're all just incremental. I agree it'd be foolish to try and out-compete or out-spend a goliath, but I'm saying that you can still be competitive in other ways. Build something people enjoy, start there.
That's a different problem though. The fact that Facebook employees access your private data is not because of insider risk being taken unseriously. It's because looking at and distributing your private data is a core function for that company. They don't consider it a flaw.
NYC’s Tech Opportunity Gap [pdf]
I solo ran a web hosting service way back in 2000-2003, well before cloud when it was mostly LAMP and CPanel. It was super mission critical stuff for 20000 sites and I was totally winging it. As it grew I got totally paranoid about uptime. Long story short, at some point there’s no substitute for getting a human to help back you up. I had this company that I paid $250 a month for that was helped monitor and would jump in to my servers to troubleshoot if I was unavailable. They rarely were needed and when they were it was usually just an Apache restart or similar. Best money I ever spent.
There was a bus company that started service from Princeton to Philadelphia. They advertised via Facebook. I saw the ad, and I bought a ticket. Sometimes it works.
A few comments about how a non-negligent company handles user data:

* They wouldn't respond to "emergency disclosure" requests from the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia about random users

* The average developer has zero access to user data besides names in crash logs and things that the developer has been explicitly copied on in the support system.

* Every command run on production servers by developers requires approval by someone above your org chart level (up to the executive level, when you just need someone at your level) and is logged forever.

* SREs who have to shell in to servers use Unix accounts that have no access to user data. Root access, which should hardly ever happen, requires org chart approval.

* Test environments use synthetic or anonymized data

* There is a separate team of dozens of highly paid people whose only job is it to identify, classify, and monitor access to user data. This is not even the same as the infosec team, who also would be looking for insider breaches.

But that's not true. Third parties, companies which do not in any way "bill insurance" or may not even provide healthcare services directly may be considered a covered entity.

>Entities that provide data transmission of PHI on behalf of a covered entity (or its business associate) and that require access on a routine basis to that PHI (such as regional Health Information Organizations (HIOs)) are considered to be business associates under HIPAA
IMO, a six year old could do a better job, with more witty descriptions of what went wrong, and then more creative uses of NSFW language to throw in the mix.

Google Discontinues Daydream VR
I had to command-f for "isp" and "comcast" because that's the stuff that should scare you. The kind of data someone can get and the ease of which they can get it while not even going through so much as a background check should scare you. We had internal tools, such as the aptly named Xray, which would give you a pretty detailed profile on someone, everything from the names of the devices attached to their wifi network, places that they used Xfinity Wifi, and even what they ordered on Pay-per-view. Going further down the rabbit hole, we had access to logging that could tell you what you passed into your voice remote, what channels you watched and for how long, and what you were downloading. To me, it is a matter of time until a tool like this is abused and you find out that some NFL star was watching scandalous pornography, or even worse, using the Xfinity wifi hotspots to get an idea on where someone was in the US.
You are missing a lot of other shifts. For example, in a retail business, location is a form of marketing spend - if you rent in a high traffic area, you’ll pay more for the location, but will need less marketing dollars to attract the same customer.

Now, how does that apply to e-commerce? I don’t see the linked chart showing these changes.

There are many other structural shifts that a simple trend in a given Ads sector would show.

High P/E can mean that company reinvests profit to the business, instead of stockpiling it. Amazon has 80 P/E for example.

"Ordinary mind" (Tib: thamal gyi shepa) is a technical yogic term from Mahamudra (which I'm sure you realize, but others won't). And it turns out that maintaining this ordinary mind during a psychedelic trip can indeed enhance the practice. It is also very easy to fool oneself if one has not yet authentically recognized the natural state.

It is similar to the problem of grocery checkout. If there are n checkout lines, the probability of being in the quickest line is 1/n, assuming that all checkouts have lines.

It is probably 1/(how many possible birthdays in a given year range). To be conservative (90 years): 1/90*365 or 0.003%.

I suspect that most of the reason this is not done more commonly (and I’m with you: I think it should be) is because higher-ups look at the associated patents and hoard them, thinking they may use them later.
It's a big claim, and potentially misleading even if technically true. There could plausibly be a higher accident rate, but lower serious injury and fatality rates. (Due to lower-speed collisions, and reduced likelihood of being knocked into other traffic.)

A quick google found this page [http://www.victoriawalks.org.au/news/1637] created by a walking lobby group, which looks like an attempt to present the strongest case against footpath cycling, but still leaves all the big questions open.
People complaining about CVTs is a cliche. On the other hand, I generally like them, and really dislike any transmission that doesn't shift smoothly (although then I bought a car with one for other reasons).

One reason people may think cars are all the same is because auto journalism has atrophied. I think partly because good journalism is unhelpful in selling ads now, and partly because nobody cares about it for making buying decisions now anyway.

I remember when every single review of the Kia Niro said its transmission was atrocious. They don't say that anymore. But I test drove one, and I don't think anything's changed, probably they just are better at avoiding people who might give a bad review.
3) Keep it on a lanyard. Works very well.
And, yet, in 200 years he may well be regarded as an idiot.
You might be able to literally count on two hands the number of accidents where we have this level of transparency into the thought processes and sensory data of the 'driver'. And control over what happens next time. There is no doubt that the engineering data gathered here and in other accidents is going to contribute to a massive (truly massive, unspeakably massive, enormously massive - all such adjectives are appropriate) reduction in both actual deaths from car accidents and statistical deaths from the huge amount of time people waste driving.

The big picture is so overwhelmingly positive that even if the engineers were purposefully running people over to gain testing data it would still probably be a large net win for greater society. Thankfully there is no call for such reckless data gathering.

If anything, punishments in this case should be much more lenient than normal rather than breaking out the cruel and unusual measures.
Passwords can be used from anywhere. Keys cannot. That is the attack this blocks.

I would be very surprised if that was the case. It's certainly not in the US or UK: http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1985/68/part/X in the US it"s that it needs a window + closet I think.
If so, it might be a code smell to consider defining a separate function.
