> Someday we might have multilingual frameworks and not restrict programming to the privileged few that could learn a second language.

I seriously doubt it, English is really easy to learn (sure the pronunciation is weird, but who needs it when you are writing code), and by learning English you can understand all the code with identifiers in English, written not only by native-speakers. Additionally, I wouldn't want a person who couldn't be bothered to learn a natural language to be a programmer in my company (if it was based in a non-English speaking country, of course).

> "reading mixed language code is hard, despite me being fluent on both! everyone should speak what is more convenient to me!"
> leaving billions of people that do not know english out.

How is writing bilingual code including more people? You are limiting the total amount of people who speak English to the subset of people who know both the language.
There's a phrase, 'cut and cloth'.

Better materials, the basic ingredients, generally increases the price (cloth from quality fabric mills, finer wools, nice dyes, shell buttons, leather, etc...). And the cut matters, to pay for a tailored shirt in England or Italy will cost you -- that is, the labor, design, and construction.

Sure, a high price tag does not necessarily imply quality -- but let's not be fools about the matter.

> 5.1. European Cloud / European Internet

The EU should include an action plan for a digital cloud – a European Internet – in the DSA. This European Cloud would foster a European digital ecosystem based on data and innovation. It would drive competition and set standards. Foreign web services could become part of such a digital ecosystem but must adhere to the rules and standards of the EU – such as democratic values, data protection, data accessibility, transparency and user friendliness.

> Technologically, it would require a top-level infrastructure, high-speed 5G or a 6G data network and a firewall. Setting up such a network would promote many European companies and therefore boost business and drive innovation.

> Like the Chinese firewall, this European internet would block off services that condone or support unlawful conduct from third party countries.

Structuring something in the interests of what benefits them won't necessarily align with what benefits you, since the actual structure of the relationship matters, as brief regard to my flippant comment on your analogy. It isn't about what % of dinner goes to healthcare - it's (and I was assuming some hideous employer-pays healthcare system) rather about the system which is built to align incentives and benefits in certain ways. That is, I stand to lose in many situations if healthcare is provided directly by the payments of my customers, or whatever.
Likewise, with privacy, it isn't just that 'it spies', it's that what it purports to aid me in is likely coincidental. Just like a targeted advertisement actually really benefiting me is effectively irrelevant to the advertiser - it's just nice if our incentives happen to align, for one brief moment. :-)

It isn't so nice when they don't.

Hi guys,

A tweet got me (and many others) attention from David Perell "Name one idea that changed your life". This results in many people shared the one-idea they have learn somewhere, that helped shaped their knowledge.

I created Inspired Ideas for 2 reasons: (1) I often collect quotes, (2) I hope that you can share one idea that helped you either in relationship, career, or positive impact.

Thank you!

That's a newspaper article that doesn't even claim that C19 did spread in that manner, merely that people are worried about it. You presented it as a fact ("1 of the transmission vectors"). If that's all you are basing this on, please stop spreading misinformation.

Faecal oral transmission is an active research topic, but it does not appear to be a major infection vector. There is no evidence to date that this has occurred.

I just recevied an DMCA takedown from GitHub because upstream is “unopensourced”
I just received a DMCA takedown request for a GitHub repo of mine because my fork of EdgeFS (I started working on a Illumos / SmartOS port) uses sources of EdgeFS. Apparently Nextenta has (more then 9 months later) has come to the conclusion that they want to "un-opensource" it and want to put the OSS genie back in the bottle.

Is this even possible?

The most interesting excerpts:

-------------8<---------

Please provide a detailed description of the original copyrighted work that has allegedly been infringed. If possible, include a URL to where it is posted online.

After DDN’s acquisition of the NexentaEdge source code (as described above), it was renamed “EdgeFS” and was subsequently improperly open sourced under [private] without DDN’s permission.

-------------8<---------

Is the work licensed under an open source license? If so, which open source license? Are the allegedly infringing files being used under the open source license, or are they in violation of the license?

No. EdgeFS was improperly contributed as open source without the authorization of DataDirect Networks, Inc. or its wholly-owned subsidiary, Nexenta by DDN, Inc., the copyright owners.

we call this code review
From one of their strategy documents:

"We believe that any likely decentralised model (because there are many) will have the following impacts in the UK:

-Move the health response from ‘react to symptoms’ to ‘react to clinical test results’: We cannot currently find a way to manage malicious notifications, or possible amplification attacks, in a decentralised model without authentication. Consequently, notification must be uniquely tied to an authentic clinical test. This generates a dependency on the digital authentication of clinical testing
…
"

I hadn't thought about that but that might be quite a big flaw in the Google+Apple approach. If central verification is required in that model, it introduces a delay step which might make it a lot less effective. SARS-CoV-2 seems to be transmissible very early relative to symptoms so this central notification step would need to incredibly quick (fast enough that I don't think you could wait for someone to be swabbed and PCR+ even with a very efficient testing service which the UK does not have).

A lot of science and engineering goes into UX. Unfortunately, the actual goals of the company might not be aligned with good UX for the end users, and other pressures (design team, marketing team, time/money etc) often drives important parts of UX away.

It’s not a proposition from the EU. The EU requested a study, the study group suggested that proposition.

Now the question is: what does the EU do with that proposal?

If they say “fuck yeah, let’s act on that fine suggestion of a European Great Firewall” then I would agree with you, but that’s not the situation.
It can't be, because we both know how would it end. If you allowed people to auto opt-in, then malicious actors on the web, which currently show you consent popups, would instead use dark patterns to get people who don't want to be tracked to permanently opt-in anyway.
I really miss reading Terry's comments here. He was the single reason I turned on showdead - they weren't always insightful and were often offensive, but they were always an interesting view into his mind.
The main point is unassailable, most individuals (in any category) will be from larger pools vs. small pools.

One implication I have seen mentioned before is that we are far likelier to be living in a time of high population than low. That within 95% accuracy, we are living in a time segment with 95% of humanity.

To make any sense of that, given the long future humanity could have on Earth, the chance of human extinction is great.

Given the serious challenges of any meaningful colonization of the moon, Mars or anyone else, and the number of existential threats to humanity, many of them self created (weapons, brittle dependency on tech, environmental damage, etc.) it is another reason to take collective human action toward risk mitigation much more seriously than our leaders and citizenry have done till now.

One way our civilization could continue, but numbers come down, is if artificial intelligence inherently needs less individuals. Maybe there will be no good practical reason for more than one post-human AI and economics will simply result in one, inevitably more complex and modular, intelligent individual chewing through the resources of our solar system and beyond.

That would fit with the articles conclusion that our civilization must already be on the larger population side, so any future we have must contain much fewer individuals or none? Not very reassuring - but worth considering.

Edit: typo
I admire my old code when I go back to that code and by reading the code, see some idiosyncratic behaviour. Then a pay slightly more attention and see my own comment in the code saying that the author knows about it and that was the assumption made in the first place.

Otherwise code can always be made better.
Well, I've successfully used that strategy to deal with hard external deadlines.

You can't just say "no, can't do it", because in all honesty, you don't know. What you can say is "based on our current estimates and priorities, it will not be possible." If they insist it is needed then they need to increase it's priority until it fits within the amount of estated work that can be done before X dates.

I think the underlying problem you are facing is viewing a set of tasks as a schedule to be set rather than a prioritized list of tasks with estimated completion dates.

A few fundamental issues:

> the browser largely still does what it did twenty-five years ago

Maybe that's by design? The browser (at least major ones) can be easily extended the way the user wants; if they want something which helps them not get distracted, there's an extension for that (like the one which blocked the FB newsfeed). There are other extensions to remember URLs, and search is better than ever if you are opting to save your browser history.

Also, if you say you're fundamentally changing the browser, at least mention how? What are your core ideas of the redesign, apart from a few random and vague use cases? Without that, the site is just a pretty placeholder.

> Beyond our team, we’re lucky to be supported by our family and friends, as well as investors who played a role in some of our favorite software companies over the years (Airtable, DuckDuckGo, Github, Instagram, Slack, Stripe)

The experience you mention is _definitely_ not the same I would trust in building a new brower, except perhaps DDG. The last thing I want is people from FB/Amazon/Snap telling my how my browser should behave.
Such studies are usually intended to give external legitimacy to pre-decided internal plans. So someone had them draw up the study, telling them what the conclusion should be.
Correct me if I am reading it wrong, but doesn't the Android source code for COVIDSafe collect and transmit the device ID (Settings.Secure.ANDROID_ID) as part of the registration info when you register? COVIDSafe supports Android 6.0+, but it wasn't until Android 8.0 that Android made this field unique to each combination of app-signing key, user, and device (rather than simply an unanonymized device ID). Device ID isn't mentioned in their privacy policy, so it would be a breach of their privacy policy, right? It would enable them to track your device, in addition to knowing your phone number, name, postcode, age range etc. You can change your phone number, but you can't change your device ID unless perhaps by doing a factory reset of the phone or buying a new phone that uses Android 8.0+.
Following the progress of this project is fascinating.

What's cool about this is now that you have a date generator, you can apply all kinds of fun things to your date ranges with Python's standard library.

Apply generator expressions, format them with map, filter out weekends, anything in itertools (dropwhile, takewhile), etc.

I wrote a datepicker to demonstrate some concepts like lazy evaluation with JavaScript generators and it was fun coming up with the test cases.

I don't think anyone who wasn't intrinsically sceptical of 'might become a pandemic', or otherwise highly motivated to dismiss warnings about potential pandemics heard the WHO and thought 'absolutely nothing to worry about here'.

How media communication works is that the disease was hyped as a major threat to humanity in January (why would we even be hearing about a disease in China otherwise?), but everybody still downplaying the threat in late March is furiously spinning that they didn't receive any warning

If you think cookie consents are messed up I recommend you to check out the advertising industry's IAB consent framework, which is their attempt to self-regulate in order to avoid or at least deflect external regulation: Its purpose is to enable them to share your personal data between hundreds or thousands of ad networks.

We develop an open-source consent manager (https://klaro.kiprotect.com) and considered implementing the IAB framework, after seeing how it works we decided not to though as we don't want to support privacy-invasive approaches.

That said players like Google also use privacy as a strategic tool to force other players out of the ad market. Since Google can easily get first-party cookies into > 95 % of all browsers they won't be impacted by the restriction of third-party cookies. As most users go through their site many times per day they also have enough other signals they can use to track people without relying on cookies (user agent, IP address and a little Bayesian statistics is sufficient if you see enough traffic). They will probably continue to remove tracking capabilities that they don't need anymore from Chrome to slowly suffocate any remaining competitors that still rely on them.

Just an anecdote, but I rarely give out my non-Google Voice number on sign-up forms. I don’t want my mobile in a database to be spammed.
