Yes. HIPAA provides the government's law enforcement a large amount of conditions under which they are able to acquire an individual's medical records without a warrant.

See 45 C.F.R. § 164.512(f).

Furthermore, the ACLU's position is that HIPAA does not do a good job protecting people's privacy from the government and may be a violation of the people's 4th amendment rights. Unfortunately, it hasn't really been challenged Constitutionally to date, so we don't know.

What we do know is that HIPAA is probably not a good example to "dunk on" someone else, due to these concerns.

I'm not sure how to explain this to someone who seems outright determined to see Elon through some sort of negative lens, but it's not possible to be a "bad manager" and do what Elon has done.

I'm not sure if you even understand what makes a good manager. Why does Tom Muller work for SpaceX? Did you ever ask that question? Tom Muller was identified by Elon and recruited by Elon.

Great managers understand how to identify and attract talent, they understand who to promote and who to fire, who to listen to etc. If Tesla and SpaceX are doing well (and I'd argue they are both massive successes), then a huge part of that is down to Elon's hiring and people management skills, along with his strategic vision.

If Elon was such a terrible manager, he wouldn't have as talented people working for him. Also, if he was such a bad manager, he wouldn't have hired or found those people in the first place. One of my good friends (an engineer) recently left my previous company to go and work for Tesla, part of the reason he did that was due to Elon Musk. You can choose to dislike him, but people go to his companies often because of Elon himself.

One axiom of successful leadership or management is that the value of any leader is the total cumulative value produced by all the people under them in the leadership hierarchy since they are influencing, directly and indirectly, all of those people. We can rate Elon's success as a manager and leader as extremely high, because SpaceX and Tesla are hugely successful companies.

If a bad guy gets root on one server you're currently connected via ssh with, and forwarding said key via, they can also access (unless otherwise firewalled) all systems that ssh key grants them access to.

See also: https://github.com/FiloSottile/whoami.filippo.io

Using a private key per system or set of systems means that such an attacker would only gain access to what that key grants them access to.

My "github" key only grants access to my github repos, not to my bitbucket repos or to my DigitalOcean servers, or my Scaleway servers.

I have an SSH key for each "thing", and each key is kept in a different keyring via https://github.com/ccontavalli/ssh-ident, _precisely_ to avoid that problem.

As an example, an attacker gaining root on my Oracle Cloud free server will not be able to clone all my Github repos with it: I only use that key to connect to that server, and while I may have the github key unlocked at the same time - that's on a different keyring which the server has no visibility of.
Hmmm I suppose my view is strongly biased then. I've lived outside the US most of my life and have always had my own IPv4 address at home.

And sure, as IPv4 addresses are now exhausted, carrier-grade NAT is getting increasingly common. But I would have said the issue started way before that.

> In the rest of the world widespread use of carrier-grade NAT predates mobile networks by decades. […] Some of those ISPs got their first IP block (or even single address!) from someone and never bothered with whole "ask IANA for addresses" thing.

Do you happen to have a source here? Because carrier-grade NAT predating mobile networks by decades is news to me.
Not an investor, but Tesla is looking increasingly like a money printing machine to me with so much untapped potential that they could pivot to in many ways.

The genius of the whole setup is that it's a car company that is basically a battery company but also a power infrastructure company.

IMHO, any battery produced in the next decades will have some way of being sold profitably. It just so happens that cars are a very profitable way to monetize them right now. But there are lots of other places where batteries could be equally useful (which Tesla has been exploring). When EVs commoditize over the next decade, they are ready to start pivoting to other things that will have a similarly insatiable demand for battery. Tesla using the same batteries in cars, semis, and grid storage means that any penny invested in more production capacity for batteries is not lost.

The reason semis are delayed is that they lack production capacity because it's maxed out. They're adding capacity as fast as they can at a jaw dropping pace and it's maxed out. That's not bad news but good news for Tesla.

Solar is a risky but genius move as well. I know they've gotten a lot of criticism for that and the so far underwhelming adoption rate. But it's a smart move if they can get that working. Pairing solar with batteries and car charging options (and maybe car to grid/house) is going to be a killer deal. And that's just the consumer market.

There are a lot of solar panel manufacturers out there but not a lot that are also selling grid storage solutions, mass producing cars, or have experience with building out direct sales to consumer type organizations. Add to that their approach to innovating mass production of batteries, cars, and indeed factories & machines. Tesla does all these things for the very simple reason that the sum of these things is more than the value of them individually. IMHO they'll bang on this until it starts working just right in a couple of years while dropping production cost at a pace that basically very few will be able to match and own the solar market as well.

>unlike Android offers no way to opt out — if you want to get your location on an iDevice, Apple will get it, too.

As far as I know there is not a way to opt out of this in (Googlified) Android. If you have Play Services installed (which you do, unless you've taken unreasonable steps to avoid it such as rooting and installing a 3rd party ROM), you get a dialog box popup whenever you enable location services which informs you that Google will be watching (it's framed as a consent dialog, but if you decline then location services will not be enabled). And you need location services even to use the GPS.
Whenever I'm using Zoom I'm astounded by how it works. Seriously. What black magic are they performing? It works remarkably well. Just like magic.

I've used Skype, Google hangout and others. They are like 1-2 years behind Zoom.

Poor encryption? China? Security issues? Whatever. It just works unlike others.

Why haven't antitrust lawsuits made it mandatory that you can chose your app store after first use like it happened with browsers?
That's true. But this is a general problem. Even if you weren't sitting behind a NAT, you would still have to harden your firewall and so on if you wanted to run a server at home. So it's definitely not without work either way.
IE had 94% market share at around 2001. Chrome, even including all the Chromuim-derived browsers, doesn't come close to that level of monopoly, thanks primarily to Apple Safari and Firefox. But anyway they have majority and it is bad.
As an operating system though, Windows has never been as bad in human rights department as Android or iOS. You could always (and still can) install/uninstall any program, and modify the system all you want. Not so with Android. A lot of crap spyware can't be uninstalled at all.

If I may ask, what's your setup? What router (and what software on it) are you using?
At first I was skeptical, but really that was because of systemd being such a big change, when I've already worked with sysv for so long.

Now though, I really like the systemd service approach - it's so much simpler than hacking custom bash scripts, and it's actually really fully-featured too. For example, it supports lots of different service lifecycles, and even has a watchdog included that can restart failed processes.

I'm still less sure of some of the other parts, like journald, but I'm a systemd convert for services at least!
My observation of your observations and other observations like it is that the observer chooses a narrow definition of "jumping the lights" that suits their own biases.

Specifically, the issue is with Amber lights. The highway code says:

AMBER means ‘Stop’ at the stop line. You may go on only if the AMBER appears after you have crossed the stop line or are so close to it that to pull up might cause an accident

Observing car driving habits in London, an average of 2-3 cars break this rule every time a light cycles from green to red. This behaviour is legally the same as jumping the light on red. Cyclists are far less likely to break this rule (they're slower across the junction and are aware that that puts them in danger from the other lights going green).

If you factor in all those cars into your assessment, you'll probably find that cyclists are not worse than cars at obeying the law around traffic lights.
And do you think that in Sweden of all places, minorities don't have a voice?

They have more of a voice, because they don't have a two party system. If you are American, please check out some European political systems. You'll find that politics in Europe are a lot more nuanced and minorities in general are much, much better represented.

The lockdown is driving people to Facebook
Love what you guys are doing with Joan.

I strongly believe there's a place in the market for displays that don't feel like displays. I don't think there's much need for interaction, but passive emitters of relevant, useful, hyper local information that feel like a wall feature or design piece rather than screen could have high success rate.

I built a Smart Mirror for this purpose. It was mostly a mirror, in a nice wooden frame, but it also subtly told me when the next bus running down my road would be and whether or not I needed an umbrella that day.

The only reason it's not back up on the wall yet is because it uses a backlit LCD which is fine during daylight as the half mirrored glass hides this with enough light, but at night it's all lit up. If it were backed by OLED instead (impossible at a 24" size) it would feel much more magical.

There's lots of other ways of taking the same approach - furniture / feature first, display second, that I think could succeed as a popular product.

But they do... lots of teams have stationary bikes on the sidelines. No athlete would sit motionless for 12 minutes in the middle of a competition, not too mention that players would go through a much longer warm up before the game.

But I agree that going full force very briefly on a stationary bike with no warmup is probably fine for most people.
Is it really that much better than it's open source alternative jitsi-meet?
That's what I am saying too. Zoom is ahead of everyone. Better yet, people actually SEE why and how it's better than Skype, for instance. That's why I am saying that actual Zoom users don't care if it's being used by 30 million users or 300 million users. It's a great service. BUT the story is different for investors and VC. They don't care about if Zoom is good or bad, they care if Zoom is taking market share or losing market share.
> I really wish the headline would have flagged that this is written by a "site reliability engineer" and not an epidemiologist with credentials.

(Note: not the author). I think any article like this can attract (and even deserve, depending on what's presented) criticism. But I absolutely dislike the "lack of credentials" as an opening argument.

It's much better to tear away the points you don't dislike, IMO, without mentioning credentials. It's obvious that being in the field can give you much better understanding of the issues, but not being in it does not mean one will not try to reason over the data (even if wrongly).

I'm a biologist (well...half biologist, half computational biologist, and something else thrown in the mix). Does that mean I can not criticize (hypothetically) something on epidemiology because I don't have credentials, or, conversely, not try to figure out something in the data (even if my reasoning is totally wrong) because I don't have the required credentials?

I understand the above is a little too black-and-white, but I mean, let's encourage debate, even strong disagreements like your post, without going over what the author is doing in the first place.

P.S.: (not a jab at you, but a thought that emerged while writing this reply) I believe there are a lot of models floating on SARS-CoV-2, but I feel we also need loads of basic, bench level experiments to understand it better.
Most companys will only need crud apps at the start, then overload them because behaviour is always not good enough. Then hire some professional to fix the spaghetti mess they made, while demanding low rates and zero hours, cause "its all already there".

We evaluated Jitsi after discovering it during Zoom's security and privacy issues and have been incredibly surprised.

The best part was that none of our more technically challenged members got stuck with joining a meeting (unlike Zoom). I'd say in terms of usability, it's better.
I was sort of forced to work remotely originally and one takeaway was that the daily commute had an outsized impact on my mental wellbeing that I wasn't aware of - perhaps more people share this sentiment.

Probably not people with children who haven't planned for this though - that being said I know two absolute madmen who work remotely having four and five children respectively, so it's not like it's impossible.

I agree, but I don't see a (sufficiently high) price of carbon coming either.
I’ve seen this (requirement for a phone number when signing up) sometimes, even when signing up for a Google account with a non-Gmail address. It’s ridiculous that a company that does so much tracking with reCAPTCHA and many other systems pushes so much for a phone number (which is something most people don’t change).
It will probably be a chapter 11. Meaning operations will continue, debt restructured, existing equity holders will be wiped out.
No it's not, I'd say Zoom is demonstrably worse; at least in the experiences of people I've worked with.
My two thoughts.

First. Lump it for now. Getting paid right now is good. People that manage to get paid through bad times do A LOT BETTER than people that don't. Sometime they come out ahead.

Second. Things could change for the better as you work there longer and get to know the ropes and the politics. If it doesn't get better start doing the side eye for a new gig.
> you're obviously not worried about traffic routed through China might cause IP theft?

Newer versions of Zoom allow you to specify which countries’ data centres are allowed to host your meeting, and also shows which data centres are in use. They’ve also cleaned up their act on encryption.

But yes, a lot of Zoom development occurs in China (700+ employees). But it is US owned. Many other corporations also develop software in China, so I have to ask — where’s the evidence that using Zoom makes you especially vulnerable to being ripped off? Because otherwise it seems a bit FUD-ish.
A lot of the kernel bugs are pretty mundane.

Traces are nice. At least you have some pointer where to start with.

1) You can google for the functions in the trace (to see if someone had a similar issue and it's solved already). You can add site:lkml.org to narrow it down to the linux kernel mailing list.

2) You can go to http://lxr.free-electrons.com/ and search for the functions in the trace and look around the code to see what the issue might be. The trace will have some more info about the kind of the issue (WARN, NULL pointer dereference, etc.)

And from there your options branch a lot... :)

It seems to me that without easy deployment for non-technical users, self-hosting will never be a viable option for most people, only for a tiny minority of technical users. Agree or disagree?
i used to think like this but honestly i am somewhat convinced of systemd by now. Whlie it feels like a completely different approach for no apparent reasons, the more i have to handle systemd and "the others" the more i prefer the way its done in systemd.

I don't like the feature creep though.. we have now systemd, systemd-udevd, systemd-journald, systemd-networkd, systemd-timesyncd, systemd-resolved, systemd-homed and who knows what else. worse some of these are kind of irreplaceable in the systemd ecosystem.

Ah you've really put your finger on something there. The entire concept of an app store, gatekept through a series of hoops to jump through and from which the company takes n% of profit where n is some shockingly large percentage, is a highly costly departure from the traditional model of "obtain software from third party, install". The justification for this mafia-like intercession between vendor and customer has always been "for your protection". If they don't provide any protection, why do we tolerate this racket at all?
