I only questioned your credentials because you said you were in legal counsel, and at an automotive OEM of some kind. Most people who've done any significant DIY car work know about this law, because it's protected them for decades from dealers that would try to deny them warranty coverage for completely unrelated non-dealer repairs or maintenance. For instance, a dealer can't claim that some kind of engine trouble isn't covered because you replaced your own brake pads, or worse, because you replaced the radio. They also can't deny warranty coverage just because you had an independent mechanic work on your car instead of the dealership. Furthermore, they can't require OEM parts to be used, unless they provide them for free. I would have thought anyone working in automotive legal would know about this off the top of their head.

As for your example, that sounds pretty contrived and ridiculous to me. Doesn't mean someone might not try it though; companies have tried lots of ridiculous legal tactics before, such as Oracle's current API lawsuit. But I imagine any decent court would shoot it down pretty quickly. Warranty claims are made because parts fail before the warranty expires; the absence of telematics isn't going to magically make some mechanical part fail faster. It might help identify it sooner, sure, but it's still a defective part for failing that quickly, so I don't see how the consumer disabling telematics absolves the manufacturer from covering this. In short, it's never been "reasonable" before this for car companies to have telematics to keep their machines working properly through the warranty period, so why is it suddenly required now? It's not reasonable for anything else either; does a new house need telematics for the house warranty to be valid? How about a blender or toaster in the kitchen? I don't see this argument going far at all.
Initially, it was by default trusted. And once it expanded beyond academic and military, it became clear how foolish that assumption was.

Cellular WANs aren't the Internet. And it seems that at least some devices on them are poorly secured.

So what I'm wondering is whether other cellular WANs are as iffy as Sprint's was. And whether they've been better secured.
If? I think it's safe to say that this will happen and we're in for a rough ride.

It is not a serious article about cost of ownership. It cherry picks and conveniently creates scenarios that make the case that the author wants to prove. For cost of ownership the author had to include the cost of a lot of oil changes, timing belt changes, spark plugs changes and several other costly mechanical maintenance that you have to do to ICE cars that you don't do to electric cars. That, of course, is not included.
The PS4 was as expensive as a regular PC so any idea how much the latest consoles were actually subsidized? I assume Sony and Microsoft can negotiate with AMD for giant discounts so IMO they made profits when selling the consoles but I do not know if they would admit this.

Other issue I have with digital games is that the physical game is the same price but the digital game I do not own(I have less rights) so why don't we get same rights on digital games or cheaper digital games.

Water hydrates the best.

>So processing of data based on consent is limited to the purposes agreed to.

Why does this exclude a broad clause, e.g. one that states that the data is used to show the most fitting advertisements. You can see that purpose on many webpages. Almost any current data processing will fall within that area.

In conclusion, I still think that you can sign away the right to process your data.

Isn't baseband firmware still closed-source?

Edit: OK, I see https://www.reddit.com/r/privacy/comments/e9ma76/upcoming_20...

However, the effectiveness of baseband isolation on separate chips vs through software is contentious. It seems to me that using a separate modem/router with a wired network link (not WiFi) is the safest option.

Because this is a massive barrier to entry for Europeans. You either need to essentially be a lawyer or you can't run ads (or you break the law). Non-europeans can easily implement ads and combine this with in app purchases and what not. Europeans can't do that nearly as easily. They will get out competed. I don't see how you don't see how this is bad.
Disclaimer: I have not purchased so I can't say for sure.

The Upgrades menu is on the main list of options when you open the Tesla app on Android. I have not activated it myself by accident, but once you tap Upgrades, it loads the available options. There are 2 for me. If you "check" one of the options, it will be checked the next time you come back to the screen. After a checkbox is checked, there's a Pay Now link at the bottom of the screen.

That's the workflow. I personally find it hard to believe it could be navigated completely by accident, but the placement of the menu option and the persisting of the checkbox across re-visits to the Upgrades screen make me think it's possible.
> The Energy Saver icon is a light bulb with a standard base screw-in socket. The computer doesn't have one of those inside it either. And the computer's energy usage isn't primarily from lighting. But the icon is an LED bulb, and we understand those as a way of saving energy.

Interestingly, this used to be a normal lightbulb, then evolved into a CFL and is an LED bulb today.
There’s a few doctors in my city who charge a $50 a month fee for a 30-39 year old and you can call and see them whenever. Insurance doesn’t cover it at all. I’d also imagine if you tried to really abuse the relationship and show up constantly for no reason the doctor might fire you. I feel like it’d encourage a relationship of respect both ways.

I interviewed a couple of them and one talked to me for an hour about health and diet and exercise, just a friendly chat to see if I wanted to use him. He said he was getting ready to retire from medicine after years of ER work when his doctor friend encouraged him to try direct primary care. It was so different than the regular medical system, cutting out all the middle men.

My Tesla app on the iPhone has an "Upgrades" page from the main menu, and on that page it offers to sell me a Full Self-Driving upgrade for $4000. There's a big Apple Pay button on the page to make the payment with a credit card. I'm not sure what happens when you click that, and given this person's experience I don't want to test it, but it seems like they made it pretty easy to spend $4k.

How would one handle that many factors? I am very curious what the techniques for doing so would be.

I'm no expert but my initial reaction would be that you need more than 5834 adults in a study that controls for all of those factors. We don't really know how household size, for example, would affect the results, so wouldn't you need a bunch of test data to analyze all of the combinations? Or did they only study people who are the same in most of them? (i.e. 45, male, with a household size of 4, nonsmoking, etc...)

Would love to hear from someone more informed on this than myself.
Also, Carmack had a philosophy of rewriting things instead of just adding code.
Yes! I was a GP/family doctor for a while before going back into training to become an anesthesiologist. The reason I liked anesthesiology so much and hated GP/family medicine is because each case in the OR was self-contained: once I woke the patient up, I had succeeded. GP/family medicine, on the other hand, consisted of seeing the same people over and over who never got much better or worse but rather required maintenance that would go on forever. I loved leaving the hospital each day not having to wonder if I'd done enough or the right thing or missed a diagnosis.

> * Is "browsing down" even possible under those circumstances?*

Not a security expert, but based on their explanation of "browsing down," I think it's possible if the laptop is sufficiently locked-down. The issue isn't fundamentally with the management device being remote, it's being less-trusted. In the limit case, you could have separate management-only laptops that get passed around to the on-duty employee.

it usually makes sense to start hacking and slashing towards shipping anyway since 95% games have a shelf life and aren't maintained and extended much beyond the original release. By the time the next game starts production there's probably major engine and platform upgrades to contend with and a different non-overlapping set of features to support so why bother with excessively clean well architected code that won't be re-used. (Of course this is somewhat of a self-fulfilling prophecy the state of the code-base influences business decisions with regards to what will be re-used and what the next game will be)

It's that easy, except when it isn't. I tried to buy that upgrade last year when Tesla was offering a discount and I couldn't find the buy button anywhere. At the time I sent an email saying something like "I've never found it so hard for someone to send a company $3000 for a product." Seems like Nassim experienced the opposite of me.
Pitfalls of Progressive Delivery
I wonder if the scientist in question doesn't know of the possibility of confounders, didn't mention them to the reporter, or the reporter just didn't think that was exciting enough to include in the article. It seems just possible that there is something about 1% fat milk drinkers that is different from 2% fat milk drinkers, which causes them to drink 1% fat milk and which also causes them to have longer telomeres. Unfortunately, there is no link to the study, so we can't see what was controlled for. But if I were a betting man I'd bet that most of the difference is caused by other causes than the difference in milk drinking.
To be fair to the AMA, they submitted a support letter for the 2019 bill - https://www.ama-assn.org/education/gme-funding/how-gme-fundi... . Do you have evidence of them arguing against the 2013, 2015, or 2017 versions?
>... medicine, which imho is one of the professions that's going to be automated away sooner rather than later. The job of a doctor is at least partly to memorize a bunch of rules that take symptoms as input and return a diagnosis. Why is that not a python script?

That made me laugh big-time even though I can't tell a python script from a boa constrictor.

Later rather than sooner would be much more accurate.
I agree. The problem is both support & IT are cost centers and first on the chopping block when budgets need to be reeled in.
I have 2 friends in their 40s who are primary care physicians at Kaiser (one in Bay Area, one in Sacramento). Both have dropped down to 60% time (3 days per week), explaining that 60% time is actually 40 hours. In the last few years Kaiser has added both EHR work and e-medicine work without reducing the number of appointment slots. So, it's about 7 hours per day of appointments and then catching up on all of the deferred paperwork and emails.

Your quantities are way off if you're trying to describe the kind of NAND flash that goes into SSDs. Typical page sizes are ~16kB plus room for ECC, so a page is several thousand physical memory cells, not just one thousand. Erase blocks are several MB, so at least a thousand pages per erase block. A single die of NAND typically has just 2 or 4 planes, each of which is at least 16GB.
Time for a squatting desk?
If you replicate the universe, then the properties would hold from the reference and simulation. It shouldn't matter if we use information vs. whatever the reference implementation is using. We do this sort of thing when we simulate known systems, like a computer running in software.

So if there is conscious beings in the universe, it'll be in the simulation. You hold that you're conscious, so then I'd hope you'd agree the simulation has at least one conscious being in it.

I don't know why some folks consciousness test only seems to work for themselves. I've been convinced by the simple argument by induction: I am an example of an animal. I have consciousness, so others likely do too.

The Spanish system absolutely boggled my mind when I lived there. I also remember the "retenciones" system where your client retains a percentage of your payment for the government to collect as upfront tax (like a secondary VAT for income tax). I always assumed the complexity and untrusting nature of the tax system drives a lot of people to evade taxes partially or completely.

This is probably BS, another example of "correlation is not causation". Vegans most likely live longer because they don't eat horribly unhealthy foods like average people, and are much more conscious about eating healthy foods and having healthy lifestyle habits. They could do the exact same with meat, fish, dairy, etc. and probably get the same result.

The simple fact is that most people have unhealthy eating and lifestyle habits. So if you isolate one group that does much better on these because of their focus on healthiness, then of course they're going to be healthier and live longer on average. It doesn't mean than their particular food choices are optimal or necessary.

To counter your point, just look at Japan. It has the highest average life expectancy IIRC, yet vegetarianism there is pretty much non-existent, to the point where vegetarians (and especially vegans) who try to vacation there have a very difficult time. Meat and especially fish are huge parts of the diet.

The size of the market is not relevant here. The real question is whether customers have viable alternatives or not. If not, then you're in a "monopwhatever" situation. We don't yet know if DoJ thinks iOS users have alternatives or not though.

That’s take a long time for this to come full circle and for most people to want such a thing (and being willing to pay for it). Meanwhile, what may become available would be the “Apple Car” or something similar that collects data for processing locally in the vehicle and has measures to not send it “to the cloud”. We’d have another one of those “What happens in your car stays in your car” marketing campaigns!
It is ironic, as usually car analogies are used by default, to explain away any manner of things on the internet. The CS picked the wrong strategy of doubling down and being snarky to the black swan/blue checkmark guy, who knows a thing or two about how the most intolerant wins.
I used to do some of that a long time ago, and it was actually kind of fun. There's a whole different set of optimizations to do on flash, both for performance and (more importantly in many use cases) power efficiency, and I think that would be fun too.
The real problem is the profit-driven hospitals that are overworking doctors. More doctors don’t mean hospitals suddenly employing more doctors.
Not saying it's a good or bad decision, just that it's what motivates a lot of people. Who otherwise probably wouldn't exercise as much or at all. And that to presume a (near) universal correlation between eating healthy and proper exercise is wrong.
The research wasn't done to test a "blatantly disingenuous" claim, it was done to determine the effect of advertising on mood.

They're able to quantify how much of an effect it has on happiness as well.

"Our analysis shows that if you doubled advertising spending, it would result in a 3% drop in life satisfaction. That’s about half the drop in life satisfaction you’d see in a person who had gotten divorced or about one-third the drop you’d see in someone who’d become unemployed."

That's a pretty significant amount, and if confirmed could certainly be used as an argument to regulate advertising, or a way for therapists to help improve the lives of their patients, or in many additional ways I haven't thought of in the 30 seconds I've spent thinking about it.

I wouldn't be so quick to be dismissive of "blatantly obvious" scientific studies.
