I had a conversation with an exec at a company I worked for in which they expressed pride that our website doesn't track users like those other sites, and I had to break it to them that we heavily used and relied upon every Google ad and analytics product (the latter of which they were obsessed with) and had Facebook "Like" buttons all over the place.

It's easy to go about your daily work and forget about the ways in which you're opted into various data-collection frameworks.

Regarding comments pointing out the Facebook integration on Medium, I think it's okay for people to criticize a system from within the system.
Part of Bloomberg's business model is news-as-advertising; "This company developed this new therapy, find out more". I think that's what the editor is referring to as "enterprise stories".

He's basically saying - listen, when a company is paying for a news article, don't let them stuff the piece or bury the lede. Get their key message down and move on, our readers skim the article for the beef anyways so you're just wasting their time by adding filler.

Thanks for the suggestion. The demo looks really promising. Quite similar to roundcube, but a little slicker.

My mailserver is mailinabox, though, an opinionated mailserver setup, so replacing roundcube (which comes with mailinabox) with rainloop would mean migrating my server entirely. Guess that's the downside of using an opinionated mailserver setup.

I'm not fond of the current display of ads on websites and I block them mercilessly. If I'm looking for shoes, I'm shown more shoes in ads (this is my reality right now.) How is that trickery? Unless you're considering any advertisement manipulation. The part where the current model falls down is it doesn't stop (since there's no means to really show that one isn't interested) and a big ticket item like a toilet becomes your inaugural purchase in your new toilet buying hobby. The tech works by identifying users into audiences and marketers use this to allocate campaigns and budget to. Typically this doesn't include a lot of personal demographic information (FB & Google). Filling out a card with interests and opting in would be the best way to do this, something like rough location, age bracket (18-25, 26-34 etc.), income bracket, types of product interests maybe including a few categories of items (designer pants, tech backpack, industrial hardcore music, pizza delivery) recently purchased in a rotating queue.
This is a common misperception of foreign infosec. Most foreign infosec is much older and basic than most would believe. This comes from the lack of trust between cooperating countries and basic skills. Not to say they aren't smart ppl but most ppl shy away from this type of work even when it's possible bc of the downside of being the one that leaked 40gb of video, this impacts them and their entire family in ways we wouldn't even consider in the west. And on top of it they don't have the cooperation of their allies in most cases to help advance their tech. Then on top of all that a lot of what they know is stolen instead of learned so when you don't really understand the tech to begin with, it's very difficult to make advances to it. It would be like me, a non-programmer, but great scripter getting c source code that has no documentation and being asked to add a feature to the program.

I've looked into how they administer the swab tests, and they are definitely are doing it wrong. At least the CDC in the Orlando NBA bubble.
First they are doing a mouth swab test which will not find anything because there are no receptors in the mouth. Then they are doing a nose swab but only in the nose frontal area (Anterior nares), which is very imprecise. A proper swab test is done wide into the nostrils and swabbing the back area (nasopharyngeal - NP). The way they are doing it will find about 10% of infections, but it hurts much less than a proper NP swab.

They are also doing good pulse oximeter tests at the finger, and temperature tests, which is at least something, but only when it's too late already. PCR tests find infections 2 days earlier.

My guess is the whole CDC procedures are flawed countrywide. The written CDC guidelines favor NP over OP (mouth) over Anterior nares. International guidelines only recommend NP swabs, nothing else. Maybe they don't dare to hurt the US snowflakes with the NP swabs, so that testing is at least somewhat accepted.
What I'm adding here is not miraculous new battery technology. It's hydrogen for long term storage. All the components of that exist and are proven. It's just a matter of integrating them. This is the most reliable and easiest kind of innovation, and it's the death knell for nuclear.

> I’m really just asking for some support of the original statement that Deloitte will foot a $100M bill for a client when they fail to deliver a working system.

I didn’t say that, they would foot the bill for the changes required to make it work as expected in the contract. It’s unlikely you would deliver 0 value with 100m, so it would be a fraction.

This would lower the overall margin on the project, be considered business development or some other activity. There’s also discounting future work as a lever to resolve it.

They aren’t stupid, biting the government hand that feeds them isn’t a good way to keep winning new work.

Not sure your aircraft would be regulated if they are that small.
While it seems silly, I think it can also help highlight how even the smallest changes can be impactful. Collaboration like this requires lots of unsung heroes. A fix or small change goes a long way in helping people. I think of it as a reminder that even the smallest things can have real impact.

They were absolutely not properly regulated by BaFin. For starters the bank released false accounts to the public - as Wirecard Bank is 100% owned by Wirecard it's accounts aren't broken down from the (fraudulent) Wirecard accounts under the rules for consolidated subsidiaries. I think this is a big problem for a regulated financial institution.

Secondly, Marcus Braun (Wirecard Chief Exec) managed to take an unauthorised director's loan from Wirecard Bank equivalent to 1/5 of the banks equity capital. He eventually relented and repaid the money but not BaFin does not seem to have gotten involved. Surely this should have at least rung alarm bells!! Apparently not, BaFin continued to sleep on the matter.

Finally, Wirecard bank has now collapsed in a disorderly fashion with depositors unable to access their deposits for a period, foreign regulators freezing funds to defend depositors, etc. Wirecard Bank is a very small bank. If BaFin is fluffing it up this badly on the easy cases, what is going to happen when a big bank goes bust? There were rumours in 2017 that Deutsche was going to go insolvent - how much confidence to you have that BaFin would manage that process well? Or would we find also that 50% of their balance sheet does not exist?

I find it to slavishly neoliberal.

I used to read The Economist, then in the build up to 2008 when according to them all the growth was actual real growth, the system was fine, and banks knew what they were doing.

That's the default response you get from MS "inclined" people, I've seen it everywhere. I had to stop visiting the Windows 10 reddit because it's so tiring. And there's also the anti-floss comments. I truly believe they are not paid by MS and aren't paid shills, they are just people that obsess over brand wars because they are bored, or have a lot of investiment in MS related tech (time, money, career) and feel like they need to preserve that, or in some cases it's just severe mental health issues. If you think it's hyperbole you need to lurk there a few weeks and see it for yourself. I'm talking with technical merits aside, because there are a lot of MS technologies I would love to use if things were different. But I just don't trust them, just like I would never install e.g. a Google Drive native client in my Linux machine.

The EEE debates are very boring and I understand it can feel like MS is being singled out but they deserve all of it. I often wish MS rises to the top again just so newer generations can experience first hand what that feels like. But now that Google and other companies perfected the boiling techniques I'm not sure it would be noticed.

I wish we could all stop fighting each other over these issues and just collectively bashed and scrutinized ALL the companies together, everyone would benefit. But that's easy to say, I can't even read about MS or Google without getting irrationally mad.

That is false, X and Xorg are being under continuous development. Some Wayland fanboys use this as weaselwords to convince less informed people to migrate to it in an attempt to increase its user share, but Xorg still has dedicated developers working on it and it wont go anywhere for the foreseeable future.
This is a fine state to be in now. The first priority of web components is to make components interoperable, so that at least you can use components built with different libraries together.

Meanwhile, the size of modern rendering libraries has dropped significantly, an order-of-magnitude less than React/Angular. This will continue as JS and web platform APIs advance. Proposals like Template Instantiation would finally give the DOM a good pattern for fast updates and reduce sizes even further.
> There's near zero value in the individual information about an infection.

At present. There are lots of reports about lingering effects. And large portions of asymptomatics studied have penumonia.

You don’t feel tis pneumonia as a symptoms, and if covid damages vascular or brain tissue, you won’t feel that directly either. But it could well be an issue down the road, and knowing if you or your kid had coronavirus could help future treatments.
No, it means that 1/3 of children who are showing symptoms (or are otherwise recommended for a test) are in fact positive. In particular, that's 17,000 positives out of 54,000 tested.

That's far smaller than a third of the ~4 million children in Florida. Few of those are showing symptoms and thus don't get tested. At least, for another month or so, when the schools reopen and every student (and teacher) gets exposed.
tbh I feel really bad for anyone that buys during this panic phase. We are almost certainly headed for the largest recession in US history, and I don't see a future where housing prices don't crash as a result.

Another factor is the current investment environment. Bonds and CDs have very low yields, equities are too risky to fully depend on in many cases, there's fear of inflation. People may instead be parking money in assets such as real estate. Then when the economy (hopefully) recovers in 2-3 years they'll have new cash flow.

> At the same time, the low barrier of entry and hype has resulted in a huge amount of people downloading Keras, copying a bunch of code, tuning a few parameters, and then putting their result on arXiv so they can put AI research on their resume. This has resulted in so much noise and low quality work that it really hurts the field.

Note that this is not a problem exclusive to AI or Computer Science.

I have a hobbyist interest in Entomology, and I was so disappointed to see that people are still pumping out papers that are minor tweaks off old population modeling papers from the 1980s. The field is shockingly stagnant. I've read random PhD theses from the 70s that are written on damn typewriters that are higher quality than modern papers from so-called "top tier" research universities.
It seems there's almost no barrier to adding the infrastructure required for everyone to live in individual castles, carting themselves around in ever-growing wheelchairs to gigantic commerce centers designed for said wheelchairs (but not humans). Will the cost of this ever come into consideration? Will anything in America be human-sized in 80 years? Perhaps my view is clouded by the Texas sprawl I see every day.

The pickup truck perfectly represents the excesses of this development pattern: It consumes large amounts of fuel and takes up lots of space. With high hoods (and often added bull bar/brush guard) it's dangerous to those outside of it while protecting the single person inside at all costs. It can hold four/five people while also carrying/towing a large amount of purchased goods, and though it isn't often used for such purposes, it represents a "hard work" ethos, especially that of the hourly worker, which fuels the consumerism that enables such a vehicles existence.

The hard evidence is in the post you're replying to:

> FORT MYERS, Fla. – The Florida Department of Health in its daily COVID-19 report lists multiple laboratories throughout the state – many of them small testing sites – with 100% positivity rates, but Southwest Florida's dominant hospital system said Wednesday it is incorrect to say 100% of their labs are positive.

> The Lee Health hospital system is reporting that its laboratory testing of potential COVID-19 cases has shown an overall positivity rate of about 18%, despite the state report showing that all people coming in for testing at some of its labs have the novel coronavirus.
Given a choice and assuming that ads stick around, I'd prefer to pull relevant personalized advertising when I want to see it.

In other words, allow advertisers to put all their personalized / targeted ads into a common ecosystem, but allow me to dip into that when I'm looking for some specific purchase.

That would mean that advertisers wouldn't have tracking on almost every website and inside almost every smartphone app, gathering information, taking up screen real estate, and consuming valuable bandwidth and user attention.

> tested in that case if you were seeking medical care because it was pretty bad, or the tests were encouraged by a contact tracing regime. The first part would lead towards higher positivity results, and the second towards lower.

That, in a nutshell, is the reason positivity rate matters.

If a positivity rate is too high, that may indicate that the state is only testing the sickest patients who seek medical attention, and is not casting a wide enough net to know how much of the virus is spreading within its communities. A low rate of positivity in testing data can be seen as a sign that a state has sufficient testing capacity for the size of their outbreak and is testing enough of its population to make informed decisions about reopening.

>I can't explain what people are doing

The natural reaction to rioting.
Yeah, the example is far too simple to exercise the libraries and would be much better implemented without a library at all.

But then, this is a great part about web components: you can implement a single component however you want, including with no dependencies, and still use it like you would have if you built it with a full-featured library. You can use it in Angular or React even.

I didn't know either so looked it up: 'Enterprise journalism is reporting that is not generated by news or a press release, but rather generated by a reporter or news organization based on developed sources.'

That makes sense because he was in the memo balancing the development of sources (which can lead to enterprise stories) against the investment of writing ones that don't seem to be panning out well.
