Holding up in court is one facet. Needing to litigate in and of itself is typically a deterrent, especially for complex issues where there's a time/cost deterrent for pursuing combined with perception of success in court.

There's a lot you can get away with by making a process complex, arduous, and potentially expensive. Faced with that option vs letting some employer take photos of you in your pajamas without shaving while watching your every move, people tend to forego privacy.

When the working population at large starts to follow suit, you've artificially introduced a new trend with artificial social acceptance. Now, it makes a single employee battle concerned about privacy even more daunting and introduces perception of increased risk of failure if legally pursued for the employee thinking of litigating.

The end result is: privacy is eroded. Rinse repeat, for just about anything you want to change. Just make change gradual and give it time. It then takes someone with the financial and time resources to take a hit and pursue as well as eagerness to bother.
Generally at work you have far fewer expectations of privacy, particularly on non-personal devices.
Likewise. In SF at the moment, they're having pretty good outcomes but that's due to half-full ICUs and dedicated care. I could see how bad things would get if they were to be overwhelmed though.

This whole site reads like blogspam. The copy has that uncanny "SEO-optimized" je ne sas quoi to it, with a writing style halfway between "high-school newspaper" and "coding interview cheat-sheet written by an Indian ex-pat", using parts of the English language without understanding the underlying meaning or where they fit in - like a script kiddie, but with natural language. Does anyone else get the heebie-jeebies when they read "uncanny" text like this?

There's actually a fairly famous case in the Boston area of an American museum being robbed: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isabella_Stewart_Gardner_Museu...

In general it's pretty rare for museums to get robbed because while art pieces are valuable, once stolen and reported as such, they have to be returned to the rightful owners when found. As such, they can't be resold through public channels such as art actions, and even private sales are risky

In the broad definition of what makes something "political", that is definitely the case. No disagreement.

However, to not drift this discussion into definitions, I'll agree on your definition of "politics", which - correct me if I'm wrong - is any activity that involves decision making.

Let's assume, in that or any case, every decision and action to be political. Then the important question here becomes: how do we make political decisions that would ensure the most transparent, decentralised, instant and honest reporting? Would that mean trusting all medical facilities/staff of any kind or excluding some?

Point is: if every decision is political, then let's make the good ones with the best possible outcome, regardless of their nature/definition.

True for a general-purpose OS kernel. But in an embedded system or unikernel it could make a lot of sense.
In the small sample size of my jobs, cubicles are getting much shorter.

In my pre 2010 job, the walls of the cube I had were quite tall and gave reasonable privacy. In my 2016 job, they were quite short for "enhanced collaboration". I didn't really feel "safe" in my short cube, for lack of a better word.

The cubes we had at Intel were fantastic - they were super tall.

The cubes we had at Lockheed were great because they were super big.

I've hated every "open office" layout I have ever had.

I especially liked having a shared office though, sitting back-to-back in a single office, with a door - What I liked about it was that my office mate and I both liked to work with the light off, and just let the natural light from the window through (floor to ceiling window)

When you have some sense of self-privacy, and ability to block people out, your productivity is higher.

The reason why the "open office" concept was pushed, is all about cost.

Its cheaper to give people a slot at the trough, as opposed to building them an office or cube.

Ok, so that’s another good feature for conda - decoupling from the underlying distribution. It packages Python, gcc and more. To collaborate, you just have to distribute your environment.
I don't think there license would be a problem, as it's GPLv2, not v3.

But the 'not invented here' syndrome is very real.
It needs to be proportionate and justified. Putting an employee under an unreasonable amount of monitoring for no discernible reason could be a problem. Of course weather taking screenshots of one's monitor every 30s is or isn't reasonable would be left to the interpretation of the court.

See the link I have posted in a sibling comment: https://gdpr.report/news/2017/11/17/5383/

>The ECtHR held that the employer had breached B’s right to privacy because they didn’t inform him of the monitoring in advance and nor did they tell him that they may access the content of his communications. The previous courts had also failed to determine the reasons justifying the monitoring and whether these were proportionate to the purpose or whether the employer could have used less intrusive measures to achieve the same result.

If I read this correctly even if the person had been informed of the monitoring the evidence wouldn't have been receivable because the monitoring wasn't deemed "proportionate".
You keep saying there is no reasonable expectation of privacy, but there is no basis in law for that position, at least not in the EU or UK.

I've edited my earlier comments to add some sources, including a reference to the official guidance from the UK's national data protection authority that directly states that just because someone is at work it does not mean they have no expectation of privacy. You can also find lots of public commentary from employment lawyers on the Web where they have interpreted the GDPR similarly, similar statements from other national regulators, etc. Some of these highlight tricky situations like the need to respect personal email as well.

I've abandoned Go in the middle of The Go Programming Language. There is really no reason to use it - there are much better languages for systems (both - as in services as well as in low-level systems) development. Desktop development experience is quite a mess as well.
I don't understand. The example you gave is not an algebraic function.
Initially my take was Javascript is for quick-and-dirty code, Rust is for beautiful thought-out architectures, and Go is somewhere in the middle.
Nowadays I tend to do even quick hacks in Rust.
Well that’s horrifying. I quite liked mine. Although only one two floors were officially collaboration, there was an informal agreement that higher floors were more strictly silent. And then there were single desks scattered throughout the stacks. You had a lot of control over the noise level based on where you choose to sit. Never needed headphones there.
I like Rust for reusable low-cost abstractions, but using it professionally seems to require an employer with a lot more trust in their team than usual.
Async/await lets you build tasks, but is completely orthogonal to threads. You could set up tasks with a 1:1 or N:M or even single threaded model.

Here's a FAQ for the situation in Germany: https://translate.google.com/translate?sl=auto&tl=en&u=https...

Can my boss monitor my work computer?

Permanent and comprehensive PC monitoring at the workplace based on a general suspicion is not permitted. The employer may only monitor the employee on the PC if there is sufficient concrete suspicion of improper use of the work computer.

What applies to private use of the work computer?

If private use of the work computer is expressly permitted to the employee, PC monitoring at the workplace is fundamentally excluded.

What if the boss monitors my PC even though he is not entitled to it?

If the employer does not adhere to the requirements for PC surveillance, he is punishable and in the worst case must be prepared for imprisonment.
Oh most definitely - agreed 100%!

Communication wise isn't straight forward, but in this case I think the masses should know it bluntly. "You could be a source of spread, so use a mask in public."

Because on one side I understand that "use masks" might give a sense of false security, and stresses supply chains... but there are other ways of doing it - promote community production, even if it is rudimentary. Some countries are using prisons. I mean, there are ways around it.
This is an extremely unconstructive comment. It's easy to be critical with 20/20 hindsight.

More constructively: what would you have picked back in _2011_ when Cloudflare was getting off the ground? Ideally, it needs to have a memcached like interface (for easy gets/puts from Lua + NGINX), still operate when disconnected from upstreams (CDN POPs can have unreliable upstream conns), be cheap/free in terms of CAPEX/licensing, and be optimized for (extremely) read-heavy workloads. Strong consistency is less useful here.

"Technical debt" only debt after the fact. Most of the time, it's the result of a series of (likely rational) trade-offs you've made given the current state of your business.

Open-Sourcing the Prefect Platform
Upwork has largely required contractors to install and run their spy software in order to earn money through their system.

Thankfully MacOS Sierra put the kibosh on the capture ability without special permissions. I denied that request and the client never brought it up.

I do get why these tools are needed, however I find the use of them counterproductive and creates an adversarial posture between clients and contractors.
I read all three of those books, plus Ball Lightning by the same author. I found them very difficult reading, partly because I wasn't familiar with Chinese names and had trouble keeping them straight. Also, the material was dense and required a lot of background. But the ideas and some of the images stand out more than dozens of other books I've read over the time period. For each book, it took me about 3 months to get through the first 40%, then 3 days to get through the other 60%, once I had bootstrapped enough to get into them. Not easy, but highly recommended.
Problem with that is that "best possible outcome" is all about perspective.

I'm not sure if there is a subjective way to quantify such a thing without first taking a stance.

Once you take a stance, the only difference between you and the existing WHO is the particular stance you have taken (assuming it's a different position)
The App Store in itself is by no means a killer app if all the apps available on the App Store are turds.

I'm not saying they are - I'm an iPad Pro owner and user and there's a few apps I use on a regular basis - Shapr 3D most recently but there are certainly no apps that mean I absolutely need an iPad Pro for as there are equivalent apps, usually better, on desktop or smartphone.

I'm not a gamer but have a few iPad games which are good but again, other platforms tend to have the same or similar games that are either better suited to that platform (console or PC) or are just better than the iPad equivalent.

What the iPad only, sadly, does better than smartphones and better than laptops, is YouTube. And that is possibly it, at the moment. I hope things improve because my iPad Pro cost me a lot of money.
> Employees do access personal information on company screens.

I think that this was more of an issue back when every person on staff didn't have their own personal wireless touchscreen computer on them at all times. Now it's just a training issue: company hardware for company tasks, personal hardware for personal tasks.
I don't think there was ever a time where every office worker had their own office. Only the big boss got their own office and everyone else had desks in a large room. The open floor plan we have now is pretty typical of what they used to look like.

>They get everything they need from it

Except carbon which they get from the air.

>the taste is identical

Identical to what? Strawberries grown in boron deficient soil taste worse than strawberries grown in soil with adequate boron. There is no yield difference, the plant does not die from the low boron. But it is unable to make large enough quantities of certain flavonoids that contribute to the flavor of the berries. We do not know how to synthetically feed plants in hydroponic situations well enough to even get optimal yield, much less optimal flavor or nutrition. Maximum yields from healthy soil still exceed maximum yields from synthetic fertilization.

>There is no "magic" inside soil other than its a media that happens to allow nutrients to exist next to the roots that absorb them, while allowing the plant to support its own weight and stay fixed.

That is a really unfortunate misconception. The difference is very real, but it is science not magic. Soil is not an inert media, it is a massive and complex ecosystem with an entire food web. Fungi actually penetrate the roots of plants and directly exchange nutrients and energy with them. Microbes can create entire amino acids, and directly give them to plants in exchange for glucose. This is very different from an inert medium that simply holds ions in water for plants to absorb. Hormones released by the plant roots appear to change the organic acid production of certain fungi, which affects how much of which minerals are solublized from the mineral component of the soil (dirt). Millions of years of co-evolution have created a system where plants are able to direct microbes to meet their specific nutritional needs at any particular time. In the process, these microbes defend the plants they have formed these symbiotic relationships with from other microbes, such as those that cause fungal diseases like blight.

>it's the same as traditional farming except they have to be water-soluble

They have to be water-soluble with conventional farming too. This is the big problem with conventional agriculture, it is really just industrial scale hydroponics done using the ground as a cheap medium. Traditional farming predates synthetic fertilizer and relied on soil.
(Numbers invented.)

When the cost of the flight was previously $300,000, of which $250,000 was covered by selling tickets to passengers, the freight on the plane had to pay $50,000. That was probably the reasonable price between ship/train/truck, and the faster plane.

The cost of flying the plane without passengers is a bit lower (no cabin crew, no luggage handling, less weight), but there's still a huge cost that needs to be covered.
I don't yet use Crystal, but it's kind of painful that Windows support is in the "What can wait? - after 1.0" section. Cross-platform support is one of the reasons I've been diving into Rust.
