No, he has said that he believes the threat of COVID does not warrant the extreme response of mandated lockdowns. That's a lot different than saying there is no threat.

> Personally, I'd rather let some criminals go free than to break encryption. I don't see lawmakers being willing to make the same trade-off.

That's not even the real trade-off. Serious criminals who were already actively using end-to-end encrypted services will continue using them or services like them, regardless of whether they have permission. The US can try to block and shut them down as much as they like, but ultimately there's no stopping them. The only kind of criminals this would affect are the ones that were already not taking security precautions. This is a massive hit to privacy and digital security with no actual meaningful upside.
All communication is an attempt to create meaning in the mind of the listener. If you use words that the listener perceives to have a certain meaning, but that is not the meaning you intended to create, then your message will not communicate your meaning correctly.

In other words, all words are given meaning by the listener, not the speaker. Your intentions when saying something are irrelevant (but are usually taken into consideration because no communication is perfect).

All those apps are closed source and encrypt data, so comparing based on reverse engineering the code seems not an important point of distinction.

I feel like this is pretty spot on to my experience with these tools. I've tried lots of these tools, and been in place to have to recommend them to customers looking for workflow and forms tools "so our business analysts can build things". Inevitably, the developers end up having to use the tool and feeling hamstrung by it.

After tinkering with this one, areas I see lacking are 1) no authentication 2) no images and 3) limited automation options. I'm sure it's coming in later releases, but just an example. Even tools like AirTable etc. that do have auth are often lacking. For scenarios where you want users to only see "their" data, managers to see their employees' data, and vps/admins to see all data are common scenarios that are often hard to implement in these tools.

I'm watching this space for a breakaway, but haven't seen one that I feel is better than written code. I admit bias as a dev, but I do wonder if written code is not fundamentally superior in most cases. Even "Visual Studio" ceased being visual drag-and-drop for most people ages ago. Sure, you _can_ still drag-and-drop windows forms apps, but most devs will write XAML, or in web space, use a CSS framework and markup instead of a drag-and-drop designer.
There have been too many lies about Tesla and how "evil" they supposedly are. Sorry, Mr/s journalist, I don't believe you anymore.

Of course they will. Apple have already said that they will preserve the UNIXy userspace as a first-class citizen, it’ll just be on a different architecture.
I don't think people ITT understand what Defender ATP is supposed to be. It's not just an AV, but rather also has the ability to do threat protection across all your assets in the company.

It can analyze an attackers moves within your network, figuring out what files they accessed, ways they pivoted, and other stuff. So not only would it detect that you got compromised, but the display will show you likely paths, names of users that are also compromised, mitigation steps, deployed persistence measures, etc.

So for Defender ATP to work optimally in a deployment that leverages linux nodes, or has users using linux as their daily driver, you need to support linux.
Right, I think "fraudulent" would be a more accurate word.
Whatever your opinion of Assange is, make no mistake that actual criminals he released info on are still walking free, including war criminals killing civilians and reporters, because the U.S. government does not want them prosecuted.
That’s a good point. The selection from a lineup then gives less information. So the real issue is poorly understood priors.

I’m pretty sure that this can be used fairly with a rigorous Bayesian treatment.

Even when i am kind of a past-jobs apple hater, i love when people refurbish hardware and are happy with it.

I love my HP Z600 (10 or 11yo) buy d a second cpu (15$) and additional 32GB of ram (60$) a radeon rx580 and i really dont see any point of buying a new workstation (left out power-consumption), its just great!

I'm generally against Assange on all of this. Hacking is an illegal activity that results in the disclosure of information that the hacker does not own. This is theft of information and a federal offense. Anyone engaging is nefarious hacking should be jailed, if caught, and never allowed to use technology again. We have very lax laws when it comes to hacking - they need to be stronger.
A fun thought experiment is to noodle through whether, given the method of choosing cities described, the choice of map projection would influence the resulting list of cities.

Why would they blatantly violate the law for legal reasons?
Just because something is legal doesn't make it right.
The fact that the landing gear lever was pushed down into the extended position, and then the plane decided not to deploy the landing gear because of the overspeed issue is a horrible UI.

The lever should refuse to budge unless moving it will in fact deploy the landing gear. These pilots are horrible, but that doesn't mean we can't improve the controls still.
Your point makes sense. But, it largely chooses to be unprofitable (outside of corona times).

I’m not sure that it pays its drivers more poorly than the taxi industry, and I’m not sure that users overpay. Do note, though, that both of those points imply “healthy economics / markets” (dynamic pricing on both sides).
I've read a few books from middle of the cycle (because that's what my countryside library had in 90s). So it's possible I missed the point. But I remember not being impressed.

As for D&D the alignment mechanic feels very artificial and is often houseruled out altogether here. Fun fact - in Poland the most popular ttrpg was (and probably still is) Warhammer FRPG, not D&D. And it's considerably more shades of gray and pessimistic than D&D :) D&D was often considered backward and "for kids" compared to the "real" RPGs, it changes a little with 5e because of Critical Role and all the hype.

But that success of Warhammer was mostly caused by being the first AAA quality RPG to be published in Poland and making a big marketing campaign in 90s, so that's not an argument for or against the cultural differences.
Ask HN: A simple solution to limit surveillance capitalism?
Not an original idea but I'd be interested in HN's perspective.

Can we reduce “surveillance capitalism” by reducing the incentive to collect personal data? Personal data is primarily collected and used by the advertising industry. Large ad companies such as Facebook and Google already admit that microtargeting with personal data is being misused. Google voluntarily restricts targeting for political advertising [1] while Facebook has called for legislation [2].

If we were to simply ban the use of personal data beyond a few key items like age, gender and zip code for delivering ads there would be less reason to collect more data. Advertising companies will still earn ample profit from their ads with contextual targeting (e.g. showing ads related to search terms or related to the topic of a post or news item being displayed on the screen) and coarse grained targeting.

The simplicity of the rule would simpler to understand and enforce and would be much less prone to loopholes exploited by the sophisticated legal teams at the largest advertising companies. This creates a more level playing field between large and small companies perhaps enabling increased competition.

Banning targeted advertising is not a panacea for protecting personal data. Other industries can still extract value including insurance companies that may adjust prices up or down based on your data or retailers may offer discounts or enhanced services to its most profitable customers. Even so by restricting the most profitable and prevalent misuse of personal data perhaps we can protect it.

What do you think? Would this work?

I think FP UI solutions don't necessarily win the 10-liner demo (except for representing client state with an AGDT), but your app also isn't a 10-liner.

FP approaches to UI like Elm win the 100+ line comparisons for reasons you can't see, like minimizing runtime errors and making it so that impossible states are impossible at the type level.

Unfortunately it's hard to see the benefits until you get your hands dirty.

I use Elm in production on some apps and its a good place to start if you want simplicity. Personally, Purescript never interested me because I don't like all the complexity of more advanced Haskell features. While Elm specifically avoids certain advanced features to stay simple. You might like it given your concerns.

> If those ten unnecessary treatments cause two deaths, I think the outcome is fairly clear.

No, it isn't. Deaths are not fungible. My life is not someone else's life. If I get a diagnosis, there is always a chance that it is wrong, that the treatment will kill or injure me, and so on. That doesn't mean I shouldn't get a diagnosis. I'm the person to make the decision here, I can always choose not to get a diagnosis, or to ignore it.

> More specifically, you wouldn't assess this in terms of "deaths" because 100% of people die. Instead, you'd study this in terms of units of time alive, with a probability distribution and a quality factor applied. If a treatment reduces pain and but causes blindness, pain and blindness both correspond to quality factors.

Again, this can not be objectively assessed. You can not put a number on how bad (risk of) blindness versus pain is for an individual.

> There is an entire, mature field of study built around objectively assessing the thing you are claiming cannot be objectively assessed. Hundreds of billions of dollars are invested in the idea that this can be objectively assessed.

Just because something can, by simple reasoning, not be done objectively, doesn't mean it can not be done at all. Of course you can "objectively" add up a bunch of numbers and say that this represents the best course of action by some arbitrary metric. That doesn't mean it is the best course of action for the individual. See:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mere_addition_paradox

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Utility_monster

> In a more general sense, I would caution you that just because you can't assess something objectively doesn't mean it cannot be assessed objectively.

It should stand to reason that no one can assess something objectively that is inherently subjective, like my own value perception of my life and (risk) of death.
As far as I can tell, textbook publishers practice price discrimination so that they can sell less expensive versions of the same book in markets where profit is maximized at a different price. Retailers are only permitted to sell the appropriate version in the appropriate market.

Personally I have seen many textbooks available in the US/Canada version and Indian Subcontinent version (generally the same text, often for sale at <25% the price). My guess is that it's common to see India in particular because there is a large market for English-language textbooks there.

I treat my FB and other accounts just like any other inbox.

And that's the rub: all of these things can be replaced with email.

Email - plain old text - can carry just as much info as all the web things, to my eyes - and, doesn't allow for much emerald-king manipulation behind the mirrors and smoke, either.

If only my friends and family all understood how to use email properly, in the first place.

Because this writing skill has been supplanted by software-usage skills. Why learn to top/quote/bottom, or properly cite text, or contract a useful file-archive and include URL's .. when this 'is what the computer is for' ..

Seriously though, I could radically reduce my social sphere down to the people I know can handle email etiquette and methodology well enough, and I won't need any other third-party service. Even my pizza guy can handle an email.

However, literacy being what it is, people don't have time or motivation to become proficient in email, as a tool. Its far easier just to swipe and touch things to share information, apparently .. perhaps the time has come for me to finally write an email client, hmm ..
