Main problem with this advice is, I can either assert my rights on principle, be detained, possibly held in lockup, deal with the lawyers and courts...

Or I can just let them look in my empty trunk.

I say this with full awareness of how fucked up it is, but your bet is to be white and polite.
It seems they cut up frog embryos and stitched the pieces back together to move in a certain way through involuntary muscle contractions. Maybe I'm being shortsighted, but I have a hard time thinking of this as anything but a rather nauseating bit of Frankensteinian experimentation.
4-ways are often very under-utilized.

Whenever I get into a car for the first time, one of the first things I do is figure out where the 4-ways are, and try to remember that piece of information so that I can turn them on as a reflex, if needed.
Interesting Question. I will have to look up on the BOM cost difference.
FWIW, Rust didn't become feature stable until mid-2015. So even there, the world was changing.
I think their point was that Android users are now similarly empowered to block "offline" tracking. ("offline" meaning "when the app isn't open"). Further, maybe it's that true if that feature were a true existential threat to Google, they wouldn't have implemented it in Android.
I worked at a company that experimented with them. We had a lot of legal spend to white shoe firms (multiple) and wanted to give Atrium a try.

They had a flat monthly rate, and then a la carte billing if you needed extra things, IIRC. The real problem was, when we needed something reviewed or worked on, they couldn't deliver on time or promise any guaranteed deadline. My CEO was very frustrated.
> Sites that don't fail gracefully (with certain exceptions) are poorly engineered sites that are excluding people unnecessarily.

Every time someone makes a site they're balancing a bunch of tradeoffs. For example, when I built https://trycontra.com I could have implemented the search server-side, with a query and response, but this would have involved writing active server side code. Instead I implemented the search entirely in client-side javascript. People are free to choose not to run the JS, but I don't feel any obligation to engineer the site differently to accommodate their preference and I don't think the OP should either.

> Just as I won't download and execute binaries from random web sites, I won't allow JS from random websites, for precisely the same reasons. JS is too risky.

Downloading and executing binaries from random websites is far more risky than allowing JS. A binary runs as you can can trivially do anything you could do, from keylogging to subverting your browser. If you can do similar harmful things from JS, on the other hand, you're eligible for very large bounties from browser vendors. JS is heavily sandboxed, and browsers have some of the world's best security engineers working on maintaining an ecosystem where people can freely run other people's JS.

> That's a poor analogy because HTML5 will fail gracefully. If I browse to an HTML5 site with IE6, I will (with rare exceptions) still be able to read the page.

HTML often fails gracefully, but not always. If someone writes a site that doesn't fail gracefully and so is completely unreadable in IE6, I don't think they've done anything wrong.

We do use the Plaid Link widget (as do most other fintechs in the US). We don't touch credentials or handle the bank login page.

Commentary about the state of the US banking system aside, Plaid is pretty much the industry standard way to do instant bank account verifications today. However, we also have options to link with debit card and account / routing number if you're not comfortable with the Plaid route (totally understandable).

That is not at all fixing the problem. The problem is disk space. There are cost conscious markets (the same places where a microSD slot is mandatory -- so Google has already decided they are not relevant for its devices) that care a lot about disk space. Huge numbers of users in those markets.
They still take up significant space, and they often are re-enabled automatically whenever the device gets updated.
Ah I didn't realize they were talking about over the history of the library. That makes much more sense.
I think that's a fair statement, and I think it's well reflected in reality, most employees will judge the company health of various employers - whether it's inclusion in the DOW index, some promotional information about various clients or the condition of the site and investment in long term company health (like a restaurant not having "That one freezer that's always on the fritz so we always just use the other one - oh sure it'll be fixed one of these days, just need to get approval from corporate")
I wonder if they computerized check out history from pre-computer era. i.e. using paper cards for check outs
Good advice, and that "Don't Talk to the Police" video is a classic must-watch for everyone who comes of age in the US.

One other thing which goes along with being polite and courteous, never lie outright to an officer. Use weasel words like, "not that I can think of" or, "I'm not sure why you would think that." That might sound suspicious at first glance, but they'll assume in the moment that just about any direct statement is a lie, anyways.

And even when you are completely confident in your universal innocence, any direct statement can be made to sound like a lie by an officer who wants to keep you off balance. Think like you're dealing with Cardinal Richelieu, who famously said: "If you give me six lines written by the hand of the most honest of men, I will find something in them which will hang him."

It's really best to avoid any encounter with cops in the US; we do not practice "policing by consent". Obey basic traffic laws and don't speak to officers on the street, even if you think doing so might help someone. Here and now, all it takes is one bad apple to give your life a terrible and irrevocable turn for the worse, assuming that you are lucky enough to leave the encounter with your life.

Don't get me wrong, I've left plenty of interactions thinking about how polite and professional the officer who I had been speaking to was. But I've also experienced plenty of cops who were callous, dishonest, insecure, and predatory, and we do not have any institutional safeguards to remove them from positions of authority. So any interaction with the law in the US is a roll of the dice, with your life/career/family/etc on the line. Are you feeling lucky?
> Even lawyers aren't immune to the unpredictability of working for a startup—and the appeal of generating high margins from selling software instead of human services.

Companies tend to do the opposite, though, right? Apple could increase its margins by selling iOS and the Ax processor IP. But it makes more “boatloads of money” selling hardware, even at lower margins. Instead of selling IP, Apple uses its superior IP to dominate the market for phones.

Its likely the issue isn’t margins, but scalability. Scaling a law firm is difficult to impossible due to conflict of interest rules. That’s why the largest international law firms have 4,000 lawyers while PWC has 230,000 accountants and advisors. That puts a low ceiling on how much you can scale while doing actual legal work.
The exact point of my comment is that the evidence is not as strong as claimed in the popular conception, as there has not been independent confirmation via a multimodal technique. To date there has been a single, unreproduced, nonindependent, multimodal observation... A good start, to be sure, but still folks like yourself are saying that it would be foolhardy to merely believe GW.
So we'll start seeing that on a significant percentage of Android devices around, um... 2025, then? Man I do not miss the horrible support for updates in that ecosystem one bit.

This completely ignores the fact that below a certain line, B no longer gets to participate as freely as A in the space. A gets to demonstrate higher returns as well as higher losses and still be considered a better option even though in absolute terms they have contributed greater losses than B. "Reasonable to assume, follow the trend" is just so braindead, and basically no better than flipping a coin; if you're are absent of any other evidence, then maybe you shouldn't be using that to segregate the population in to the poors and those-who-know-better.

My rule of thumb is to treat cops the way I'd like to be treated if I was in their shoes. Which is to say, with a pleasant but firm demeanor. I don't consent to searches and I don't volunteer much of any information, but I treat them as respectfully as I'd treat any other stranger I encountered. Pleasant smiles, "have a nice day", etc. The same as I'd treat a retail worker.

My brother pulled the "AM I BEING DETAINED" routine with a cop during a traffic stop when he was 17 and it didn't go very well for him. Knowing your rights and being firm about it is important, but on the other hand you don't want to sound like a cop-hating sovereign citizen, since those of people make cops afraid and fear is not an emotion you want to encourage during interactions with the police.

Why concede your adversary any advantage.

By calmly and clearly asserting your rights, you're preserving whatever slight edge you have. All the better if there are witnesses or recordings.

Allowing searches, answering questions, fleeing, or resisting, all work against you. Stating you don't assent, clarifying that requests are orders, and complying under protest, are options.

"Good (morning|day|evening) officer" is a good starting response. It makes clear that you aren't rattled, and concedes nothing.

And no, immigrants (or minorities) don't start with a fair break. But you can keep from letting that disadvantage erode further.

Slow movements, hands in sight, etc., all help.
I was mystified by some of the strange things I've seen on content sites in the last few months but then I realized they were doing click fraud.

That is, strange things happen when you scroll, content moves around so that when you click on a link you accidentally click on an ad "ka-ching!"

>And marriage does not cause entry in the workforce, participation in the workforce is what makes marriage partners more interested.

The key phrase being "more interested". You aren't guaranteed a wife just because you have a career. Participation in the workforce does not cause marriage to happen.
Former cop here. The article states "You cannot lie to the police". This is, generally, incorrect. Some jurisdictions may have some specific law, but other than certain exceptions, lying has no general consequence. If it did, there would be a lot more charges against pretty much everyone who has been arrested. In my experience, people will lie about stuff that's not even relevant, or helpful to them.

Exceptions include things like giving a fake ID or name/dob or SSN to avoid certain identifications (e.g. on a traffic stop). Also, lying to a federal agent during their investigation is illegal, to my understanding. In Virginia, if you lie to the police regarding the investigation of a different person than yourself, it is considered obstruction of justice, though I can think of maybe one time that I heard of that law being used that way.

But in general, it's a good article. Assert your rights politely, but firmly. If the cop disregards it, don't try to stop them. If the cop does illegal stuff violating 4th and 5th amendment, there's a chance the case gets tossed (as it should). If you try to physically stop the 4th amendment violation, and you're wrong about it being a violation, you just made your problem worse.

Of the people who've accused me of violating their rights, 0 have been correct, but plenty of people have asserted their rights, and stopped an investigation that I had reasonable suspicion, but not probable cause on, and no further means to reasonably develop PC.
> "I'm going to remain silent. I'd like to see a lawyer."

On TV shows, the guy would then call his lawyer, who is under a retainer or something. The lawyer has all the context on exactly what's going on, and tells him exactly what to do, and he gets off free.

But as someone who doesn't have a lawyer, what exactly happens if and when the cop agrees to this?

Are they obligated to provide me with a lawyer? Or do I need to know one, or know how to find one? Do I need to do this while detained or do I have some time to do it?

This is just the way licensing works today. So just take the existing rules for a software license and apply them to an API.

If Oracle wins you are the copyright holder of that code, including the API. So feel free to let anyone use it if you would like.

Oracle winning means you get more control over your code. Google winning means you have no control over the API.

I think r00fus is right to look at the profit motive of the software supplier. Microsoft would have been climbing a steep curve of diminishing returns for basically no extra revenue.

Windows isn’t the monster revenue generator and in the server space it’s losing to free Operating Systems.

We ask for perfect security but we as an industry/market aren’t willing to pay the premium to go from “it mostly does what I want most of the time” to “life critical with near perfect security”.

That said, I don’t think regulation would work here and I suspect there would be a perverted incentive by the regulator if an issue was found (like in this case where government, military, and critical industry get early access to the fix).

I've only seen the designation applied to Animal Liberation Front and Earth Liberation Front, but my understanding is that there's considerable overlap between the latter and Earth First. They're an interesting legal example in that both groups explicitly disavow the destruction of human life and targeted their efforts toward property destruction, which is rather at odds with the popular understanding of 'terrorism' as discussed herein.

I only know anything about one of the authors of this (Prasad). The history leading up to this article is relevant. His modus operandi is to severely criticise clinical trials to an audience that is only peripherally or not at all involved in the field. You can see why this works - being extremely shrill about something to people that don't have any idea tends to garner agreement, since they can't evaluate your claims and you seem so adamant about it. It creates the illusion of someone that is 'telling it like it is' and not just following the norms of the profession.

The problem is that this doesn't generate anything of actual value, except for Prasad. It is easy to criticise medicine. It is easy to criticise any complex and difficult human endeavour. He takes the practice of critical thinking about studies and results and what they mean, something which all doctors do and are taught to do, and turns it into a blood sport which plays to the masses. There are plenty of academics who do what he does, and publish in well respected journals. At any conference where a major result is presented, people in the audience get up and ask questions about the value of the intervention, the conduct of the study etc, just the kind of things Prasad rants about. The difference is that Prasad has monetised this practice by pretending that he is the only one doing it. He writes books, publishes endless articles which are mainly reviews and rehashings of other's work and the person that hired him to a faculty position openly admits they chose him because of his propensity for scathing criticism.

This article therefore, I find largely self-indulgent and in some parts sheer nonsense. The authors style themselves as custodians of some higher art, a priesthood of common sense and clear thinking. They pull the trick of trying to cement their importance by defending themselves against a bogeyman, the force of 'commercialisation'. Of course, there is no single person or group who is causing this commercialisation, so there is nobody to question them. They also bizarrely say that they are better placed at evaluating medical evidence than the people who know most about it ('content experts'), because the experts are too enthusiastic.
Citation needed. There are 700,000 cops in the US, some conducting 20+ traffic stops a day. How many people are being arrested because they asserted their rights? Especially in the age of smart phones and body cameras, it's pretty small. Of course it happens, no system is perfect, though we should strive to be, your rights aren't a formality. Don't flex them, exercise them. They're like muscles. Flexing is just showing off for no real purpose. Exercising them makes them stronger. Not exercising them makes them atrophy.
I am not. GP doesn’t mention running managed. When talking about “basically free” and for side-projects I don’t really get your point. Minimum cost for a one-node n1-standard-1 cluster is a subsidized ~25 USD per month on GKE (assuming not using preembtibles).
After 1 year you’re above the price of comparable hardware (there are pretty decent 300 $ laptops these days).

I’m a happy customer of GKE but it’s not for everyone and everything. Like you say, different use-cases.

You say that like a premium android phone doesn't "just work". There is nothing on android that forces you to customize things, it simply allows it.
Hm, if a phone is to support a factory reset feature at all, everything it's bundled with needs to be there somewhere in read-only memory.

And everything I've read says that disabling an app and removing updates removes it from everywhere _except_ read-only memory.

I don't think there's any other way to do this at all, unless you want to give up on having a factory reset feature entirely. I think the only problem is that Android doesn't just call it "uninstall" and hide it better.
> I refuse to do business with any business that uses plaid and has no sane alternative to get bank account numbers (deposit two small amounts, three days later I tell you what they are)

I'm a bit horrified this is still a thing, too. Doing this just confirms you have the correct account and routing number, so you can deposit and withdrawal. It won't allow you to see transactions--will it?

FWIW, a minority of banks have "linked apps" that allow you to revoke access from the bank's website (some are clear they're restricting it to read-only access). But I'm not sure how consistent or widespread this kind of thing is. I doubt if you're offering a service like Plaid you could rely on only supporting these institutions.
In other words, you solved it by not stealing.
At a previous company, someone decided to experiment with putting a comma in a text field submitted to an internal service that for some godforsaken reason spat out CSV files that a lot of other teams consumed. I forget the exact entry in the field but it was something like "I wonder, how does this handle commas".

Turns out it didn't handle them well. It didn't escape them or anything. Out spits this line in the csv format that has more columns than expected and everything from the that field onwards was off by one. Most teams were lucky, their code barfed when presented with a line with too many fields. Some teams were unlucky and it didn't. How unlucky _they_ were was somewhat varied based on how much data validation they did.

That caused a big headache for a lot of people trying to recover from the actions of the genius who thought doing that against the production endpoint vs the test endpoint.

That incident pretty much solidified my reputation in the team as some kind of weird voodoo type of chaos monkey, because my shifts _always_ had a significantly higher sev2 rate caused by things failing that I'd not touched or had any influence over.

I mean, not directly. The ad team didn't get a team together and say "make a protocol that will get our ads to the browser quicker", it's likely a team made to "make the internet faster by solving problems with TCP", and it just happens that A. they're funded by ads and B. this speedup also happens to work in favor of ad delivery. Same for the other parts of the internet, like dynamic content [chrome, JS] and OS speed [android], they're making the entire internet faster which ends up including how fast they can push an ad.
