I do care about people's data in general, but also I don't recall the documentation for the device pushing the app much or at all and instead just suggesting you use whatever your device's way of connecting to bluetooth devices is, though I might be wrong there. If it did then it is a bit worse than I recall.

However if the app isn't really pushed at all then this is so minor an infraction compared to so many others happening in the technology space it honestly doesn't really illicit a response from me.

I do want to point out that not really giving a damn isn't the same as thinking it is a morally ok thing to do. I definitely agree that they shouldn't be doing it, but again given the state of the industry I'm honestly just glad the app isn't required.

Lastly I do kind of think personal responsibility has to enter into things somewhere. I understand that the average joe doesn't really understand how these work, and that the information you share is greater leakier than you might think it is given how things are phrased - and I absolutely agree that it is terrible. However for years now high profile data breaches have been a thing. The fact that the average joe hasn't defaulted to a "I don't understand why this device/app wants X information or how it could use it, therefore I won't use this app" is what is letting companies get away with this kind of thing in the first place. You don't need technical competence to be wary of this stuff (in fact I know someone who isn't technically competent who is concerned and they ask my opinion on things).
CIA takes credit for many things. Maybe they stole jokes from State, but I think action movies[1] are more their speed. Consider: if they were any good at jokes, international english would be full of Stierlitz-style jokes.

(I got most of my political jokes from VK. To be fair, most of them, especially the Brezhnev-era, can be used in the current US with only a few name changes.)

[1] Humour usually involves quickly switching between possible interpretations. Action movies tend to be much less ambiguous.

I recently read that the 40s is often the least happy decade in life, as it's usually when people start hitting hard limitations and adjusting life goals. On the plus side, adjusted life goals often make later decades very happy.

We had our child in February. I took a planned two weeks off, then had planned on working from home two to three more weeks to help transition, then to go back to the office as I was required to do. By the time I was looking at going back to the office, I went in for about a week to onboard a new employee then pushed the office into WFH for everyone due to the pandemic.

My wife and I haven't had an issue at any point. She understands that the reason we're not homeless right now is because I spend all day on the computer. She doesn't come to my workspace and communicates with me as she would as if I was at an office (i.e., via IM). She will, very occasionally, shoot me a message and _ask_ if I can spare some time to give her a hand with something but there's no animosity if I say no and for the most part she will try and work it out herself, even if it's inconvenient (e.g., finding somewhere to safely park the baby for a few minutes while she throws a load of laundry in).

I think the only one in the house that doesn't understand "dad working != dad at home" is the dog so she sometimes has to be crated when I have important meetings.

And I wouldn't trade the extra 2-3 hours a day I get with my family or to spend on hobbies instead of sitting in bumper-to-bumper traffic for anything.
> Not only does my IoT device have to be functional, but it now has to have a gateway that is functional at the same time in order to be useful

Consider it differently. Your IoT stove, IoT coffee maker, IoT washing machine, IoT lights, etc do not need to be secure if they are behind a secure gateway.

> And, besides, a private network is only private until one of the devices gets compromised. Then it's not private anymore.

The gateway makes sure that nobody but you will be able to access (and thus compromise) your IoT freezer.

> Better to make your device capable of living on the real, hostile Internet.

Sure, but considering the amount of IoT botnet that is out there I do not think that this is going to happen.
IIRC almost all aluminum foil comes from recycled aluminum whereas most writing paper is virgin paper so the energy comparison is between aluminum recycling and paper manufacturing. I don't remember the numbers off the top of my head, but my impression is that paper manufacturing is quite energy-intensive as well.

My bet is that recycled aluminum wins out.

Playing devil's advocate for a second, I'm wondering if, at Uber's scale (thousands of microservices, perhaps that means hundreds of bounded contexts after applying "DORA"?), the observations that make hexagonal/layered architectures a useful design within a single service become relevant at the system level.

I'm not sure how many systems have been built using DDD with hundreds of interacting bounded contexts, but I suppose I could believe that _some_ structure would be beneficial. (If you know of any case studies here I'd love to hear of them, I've not actually seen anything published on this topic.)

In general the concept of an "infrastructure bounded context" seemed a bit weird to me from my understanding of DDD, but then I though about Kubernetes, and you could make a case that it is an example of such a bounded context; it has its own ubiquitous language, etc. It would be weird for your infrastructure to have any understanding of the domain objects running on top of it, so a hierarchy makes sense.

Likewise if you have BFFs for your different API clients; the domain services underneath them could be abstracted away from things like REST, if all your internal services use gRPC (for example). You could consider this the UI layer in DDD's layered architecture.

I'm struggling to come up with more sensical layers than that though; in DDD there's the Application and Domain layers; I don't really see how you'd pull "Application" vs. "Domain" bounded context layers together in a way that made sense.

> But the origin here suggests most of it is left over from what came before.

I'd certainly agree with this -- it seems like lots of the intra-BC complexity is excessive compared to what you'd get if you built your services with a BC in mind from the start.

I don't think I'd emulate their intra-BC structure, it's only the inter-BC organization that I think has any merit for other systems (and even then I'm not fully convinced yet).

Warren says he understands how much Microsoft is getting off of royalties for Windows but is unsure about his confidence in a 20 year bet compared to a company like Coke which sells Cola.

Warren turned out to be very wrong in investing in Coke over MSFT. However, his reasoning wasn't awful. The entire e-mail pleading the case to him is about how great of a business selling the OS is. However, if Microsoft had stuck to that the stock would not be doing so well now. Perhaps he and the person pleading MSFT's case were wrong to view Microsoft's business as operating system related instead of tech and computing more generally. I'd say both were about the same levels of wrong but one had a better outcome.

I live in a very small (not USA) city classified as 'rural and remote'. There is no local opportunity to do the sort of work I'm interested in, so for a few years I just didn't (obviously not USA :)

WFH allows me to participate. For some years, it was a complicating liability, and I had to gently massage potential employers to seriously consider a fully remote config. But this year when hunting I found my years of remote experience recognised and valued.
I think you didn't understand the grandparent poster's point. They're arguing, basically, that only 1% of research is deliberate fraud, but 80% is simply useless garbage. The reasons for the garbage are varied, but any way you slice it, it's worthless. So why worry so much about the maliciously useless when there's so much incompetent uselessness?

That matches my experience back when I was an active researcher. Intentional fraud is rare (and highly damaging). Garbage research and garbage papers are everywhere. And even most of the non-garbage research is useless! The core differentiator there is that we just don't know which things will be useful without hindsight. But we can identify plenty of things that were not helpful to anyone and we knew it... yet we still funded those programs.

I think we're mostly in agreement that the size of the problem is vast, even if we might disagree on labelling.

GDPR isn't a directive, it's a regulation. It's literally what the R stands for.

The major difference between the two in terms of how the EU makes laws is that directives are the indirect one: individual member states are required to incorporate the provisions into their own legal systems to give them force of law. An EU regulation is the direct equivalent: it carries force of law across all member states immediately. In the case of the GDPR, the UK government has also stated that its provisions will continue here after Brexit and the related transition arrangements.

However, you're right that enforcement will normally be done by an individual member state, because it is typically the national data protection or privacy authority in each state that acts as regulator and has enforcement powers under the GDPR. In theory, there's supposed to be some coordination so one of those regulators will take the lead on any given investigation or enforcement action instead of 28 different organisations all diving in at once, but it doesn't seem to be clear yet how that aspect will work post-Brexit.

Yep. Another thing I see people do is to searching for stuff using GSE although the freaking link is already in their history (I'm not sure if "to their defense" is the right way to phrase this, but they also don't have the annoying search suggestions disabled so the amount of crap in browser UI perhaps overwhelms them)
Nice! Seems like a great resource, though I was hoping for something more... legal haha.
From the many people I have asked this question, I think the disconnect between toilet phone users and us is the availability of "Alone time".

Specifically no matter what you do in your house/work for some there is always low key chance of someone bothering you. This is not the case when you appear to be using the toilet.

Still seems weird to me though.
I'm not sure if "accidents" count as "cooked" statistics... modern nuclear plants are much safer than 20th century ones as well, so if we're updating numbers I think nuclear is still an extremely safe contender (and if you split nuclear deaths by country, USA is an order of magnitude again safer than all nuclear). Maybe I misinterpret what you mean by cooked though, I would be interested in reading more about it, if you have a good piece? Wind also relies on pizoelectric elements, I'm not sure what their carbon footprint is compared to nuclear fuel, probably would be less in the future if like CA/OZ stepped into the rare-earth supply chain.

And new types, like thorium salt reactors don't have classical issues like uranium waste products and much much smaller possibility of runaway reactions. And France has been "5 years away" from fusion reactors for like 30 years on a shoestring budget, with real money that could be a possibility in maybe another 30 years and also dodges all the horror-story problems.

Overall, I agree, modern solar, especially reflector-steam plants shouldn't be lumped in with silicon panels, especially when talking about total carbon footprint. But I do think nuclear carries a lot of unfair baggage that has kept us on oil for way longer than we should have been.
Then people should feel bad their negligence did cost lives.
Not on your life...ideally my next job will be full remote, and in that event my plan is to get a real, simple office, 150-200sqft or so.

You seem entirely focused on PII concerns and arguing as if the only organizations affected by this incident are "giant companies". That doesn't seem to be the case. I haven't seen any suggestion that this incident is focused on that type of data.

As much as I agree with all the concerns posted here about how data should be protected better I don't think it is necessary to excuse and legitimize the unauthorized access along the way.

After I got married, we moved from my decent size house (3000 square feet) to a 1700 square foot apartment so we - my wife and two step children - could be in a better school system. I insisted on finding an apartment with a separate office. The office was small - built in desk and just enough room for chair, but I knew I would more than likely be working from home occasionally. We probably could have gotten some place a little cheaper if I didn’t insist on closed in office.

HHMI is crazy, it has definitely had a positive impact on my girlfriends PhD experience and allowed her to take on a 'post doc killer' project. It's taken her almost 3 years, but she's gotten great quality data, and just got a great review back from Nature Chem with proposed experiments as expected.

Also, the period can increase as time goes on. Her lab doesn't have to renew for 9 years I think (they renewed last summer), if not 7.

Just my 2c, it seems to me like these funding structures do have a positive impact on the research environment. That said, it's obviously a model that really requires them to select the best of the best labs as you mention, because one org (or even the gov) quite simply can't give blank checks to every lab.

For S3, it's not what most of the customers think they're buying, but what Amazon is actually selling is a storage service with 11 nines of durability:

https://aws.amazon.com/s3/faqs/#Durability_.26_Data_Protecti...

It's "Simple Storage Service", and it does that one thing (storing practically unlimited amounts of objects) spectacularly well. Like 11 nines well. It doesn't do "inexpensive egress charges" well. Amazon never claimed that though.

I think a lot of people don't care about those 11 nines, and would love to buy something with perhaps only 5 or 4 nines of durability ("Maybe I'll need to upload it again once every few years, that's cool!") but which optimises for cheap bandwidth costs instead. Right now, I think that thing is an inexpensive VPS with an unlimited traffic (Hetzner were offering "unlimited traffic at 1GB/sec for the first 20TB, then throttled to 100MB/sec" for under 10EUR/month last time I went looking. And they're well above "the bottom of the barrel" pricing in cheap VPS land.)

I am immensely opposed to the notion that something being difficult or even wholely unusable for a "not-insignificant portion of the population" makes it a bad tool, rather than merely a situational one to which alternatives are also necessary[0]. The same reasoning, applied to the not-insignificant portions of the population with more severe disabilities than color-blindness, would condemn very nearly every tool in the history of technological civilization.

0: And in this case - as you yourself have pointed out - happily available.

I don't think many people are worried they'll be told off or get into an argument, they're worried about getting fired in the middle of a joint recession/pandemic. J. K. Rowling has been getting herself into trouble supporting various people who got fired, for example.

It's also worth noting that trans people are a fraction of a percentage of the population. Most people won't know anyone personally. It's easier to hate a distant figure who you've never met, particularly when they only end up in the news for being near the Kardashians, leaking government secrets, or getting upset at a beloved children's author. Not a lot of people know who e.g. Lynn Conway is, and that's a shame.

It sounds like you have a background and exposure to people who might have many enabling success factors. Shiny credentials might be one but social networks are another. Collectively, they might be contributing to the success you suggest is not deserved, but I’m not sure that’s an obvious argument. People of these backgrounds could probably game any gating ritual.

Perhaps we should focus on drawing more actual talent rather than excluding the phonies (even at the highest levels, status and influence isn’t zero sum in my experience).
