Fundamentally, the reason I'd rather anyone but Google have my private data is Google's ability to use it effectively. Many companies can vacuum up data, few are prepared to do anything intelligent with it. Not only does Google have far more data, it's able to use it. That makes them way scarier than ADT.
I think that’s GP’s point: lots of people justified pirating music because “DRM sucks and so does the RIAA for suing grandmothers,” and the people with the ability to push back (people in the tech industry, a much smaller group than now) did and DRM was quietly left behind for music purchases.

But now that the tech industry is larger, fewer people, as a percentage, care about DRM so it is on books, movies, games, and most else...except music.
New study shows corruption can be measured in kilos
This works if you have one of the wired systems, which are common on systems installed while the house was being built. All of the sensors are pretty easy to hook up, and there's even a DIY kit available from this company https://konnected.io/ if you're into that sort of thing

However, my alarm was added well after the house was built, and they used wireless sensors so they wouldn't have to open up any walls. These all use a proprietary protocol, which probably could be reverse engineered by someone smarter than me, but no drop in solutions exist. I am in the process of replacing all of them with Z-wave sensors to use with home-assistant, but removing them means re-painting all of the window trim.

Exactly. $249 is peanuts compared to the time saved not spent on these components each and every time (for multiple projects even).
Doctors are doctors, they're not paramedics. These men were trained to provide healthcare but were not doctors.

It's somewhat tedious that whenever an article claims a black man, or a woman, were first in something someone will leap in with "well, actually...", especially when their well actuallys are often wrong.

Any history of paramedics starts in the 1960s. eg this: https://www.emsworld.com/article/219388/timeline-modern-amer...

> 1966—Release of the “white paper,” Accidental Death and Disability: The Neglected Disease of Modern Society. In Belfast, Northern Ireland, Dr. Frank Pantridge begins delivery of prehospital coronary care using ambulances.

> 1967—The American Medical Association hosts the National Conference on Emergency Medical Services, which produces recommendations for training ambulance personnel. The Freedom House program begins in Pittsburgh.

If we're really using strict definitions for paramedic, here's what OED says (paramedic 1 is about medics literally parachuting in during war time):

> paramedic 2

> (pɶrəˈmɛdɪk)[f. paramedic(al a. 1 and n. (cf. medic a. and n.).]

> paramedic 2

> A paramedical worker; = paramedical n. Also attrib. or as adj.

> 1970: Time 9 Nov. 38 “More than 40 training programs for doctors assistants are under way across the country. The graduates..are tagged with clumsy names—paramedic, clinical associate, health practitioner.”

> ibid., “Paramedic studies are wide-ranging—from community health to bacteriology and psychosomatic medicine, plus techniques such as regulating intravenous infusions and operating respirators.”

> 1974: Telegraph (Brisbane) 27 Feb. 32/2 “Paramedics tried artificial respiration, but to no avail.”

> 1974: Aiken (S. Carolina) Standard 22 Apr. 4-A/1 “Paramedic Services and the city police will provide first aid and protection during the walk.”

> 1975: Daily Tel. 29 Sept. 3/1 “The Lancet report gives details of 600 such operations, 366 performed by medical auxiliaries or `paramedics' as they are described. The rest were carried out by qualified doctors.”

> 1976: Amer. Speech 1973 XLVIII. 195 “Also of invaluable help to the nurse are the paramedic personnel, frequently shortened to paramedics. In their ranks we find those employees trained to read slides in the laboratory or to assist the doctor and nurse with other medical tasks.”

> 1976: Sci. Amer. Sept. 72/3 (Advt.), “Heart pacemakers, paramedic telecare units and ultrasonic cardioscopes—all are outgrowths of space technology.”

> 1977: It May 21/2 “They also have a fully-equipped ambulance, manned by State-certified paramedics and emergency medical technicians.”
I thought I had seen reports MS has been negotiating with ByteDance for purchase of TikTok for months?

TikTok has a huge amount of use, right, it is hugely popular? Microsoft in general is known to be trying to get into "social" more, for obvious reasons. You can make a conspiracy story about anything, but I think the occam's razor answer is that, yes, Microsoft actually wants TikTok. Doesn't it appear to be a very valuable property matching MS's known acquisition strategies? Why wouldn't they want it, there's nothing odd about them wanting it that needs some other mystery explanation, is there?
>Through the process. You never have to trust the data if you have a good process. Process will verify data. Process will verify sources. Process is impartial. Trust the process, not the results.

You could be a little more gracious, and write a bit about the counterargument in your head, rather than framing your opinion as a dismissive argument right away.

Edit: There may be some confusion: When you say, "things like the article are useless and ineffective", are you saying it's useless in reducing infection, or useless in communicating the message of how to reduce infection?
If you need remote access to the DB, then you need remote access. Most people in a normal setup would not have the database server ports directly exposed to the Internet, but if you have the perspective that all servers are in the cloud, then you would also be expected to know how to keep them secure.

But making it listen on an external IP does not inherently make it insecure, as long as you also have other firewall and user account controls.

As someone who kickstarted this, I unfortunately agree with the disappointments. I spent a reasonable amount of time wrestling with the device, but there were just too many holes in the experience to justify using it daily.

I think that 98% of the let-down is the fault of the hardware. It is cheap, bulky, and was missing the speaker when it was delivered to the creator, which shows just how much care and attention went into the manufacturer's quality control.

That said, I have absolutely no regrets in funding this. Gordon Williams does a bunch of things that I would never be able to replicate, and while this one fell a little short of expectations, everything is absolutely above board, and can only hope that the meagre profits from this fund future successes.

And as watch software goes, is a little clunky, but not irredeemably so. It would make for an excellent starting point. If I can ever find decent programmable hardware to pair with it, I would be seriously tempted to hack at it again.

Ok, but every other company is also thinking this. If you only interview candidates who are exceptionally good at advertising themselves, you're selecting for applicants that are harder to hire relative to their actual abilities. The valuable talent is better than they seem on their resume. Do you not worry about identifying that?

Like, the "it will be obvious" thing... I'm just not convinced. Sure, if you speak to someone you can tell pretty quickly, but on a resume? What concrete evidence would you expect to see from someone who's only been in work for 2 years? I can think of a lot, but not much that you could convey in that format.
Something being difficult to precisely measure does not make it a Nazi tactic. This is just an attempt to reframe the argument to be more charitable to Sowell, but no, his argument is bad.

It's more than just whether or not the events are true; I'll assume they are, but the commentary of "protests and riots are [..] an attempt to dismantle all of Western Civilization and upend centuries of tradition and freedom of religion" and "flag burning at the antifa/BLM gathering" most certainly is not. The problem with that last one, to be clear, is that it's trying to associate some alleged terror organisation with a civil right protest.

This entire thing fits in a pattern of poisoning the well and conflation of unrelated things on this topic. Is it strictly speaking a "lie"? Probably not, but it's also most certainly not an article intended to promote a deeper understanding of events – quite the opposite.

Rust also borrowed concepts from Cyclone:

> The inspiration for safe borrowed references comes in two ways from the Cyclone programming language, a joint development effort by AT&T and Cornell University. The notion of a borrowed reference is adapted from Cyclone’s polymorphic restricted alias pointers. Additionally, Cyclone’s safe memory management focused on regions (which are usually arenas). In order to ensure memory safety, Cyclone pointers could be annotated with a named region qualifier preceded with a back-tick (making them look very much like Rust’s apostrophe-based lifetime annotations).

If you're talking about people like Chris Wallace, then I agree with your point. People like him are very much an example of The Cathedral but on the conservative side. Even stuff like The Five is pretty middle brow and establishmentarian but they aren't the vanguards of mainstream conservatism like Maddow and Joy Reid and others are for mainstream liberalism.

Steve Bannon and his movement are more representative of mainstream conservatism. Even someone Tucker Carlson used to be very much like Chris Wallace. The reason why his program is so popular now is because he's shifted radically away from his establishmentarian position towards Steve Bannon's position.

Personally I don't watch Fox News because of how low to middle brow and Cathedral-like it is.
The NYT used to have industry-leading editorial standards.

Just a week or two ago in their reporting on the UFO story, they initially reported it in a "ZOMG ALIENS ARE REAL!" way, which is the most clickbaity thing they could have done...and then silently published a correction after they got the bump in views.

The NYT is practically indistinguishable from (modern) BuzzFeed.
That may be true for most smart home gear, but I place routers in a slightly different class of home electronics. Like gaming consoles, for performance and upgrades to the latest standards (Wi-Fi 6E, for example) you’ll likely need a new router every 5-7 years. There was a short period where 802.11ac routers were initially not very good and then the second-gen 802.11ac routers arrived and were substantially faster/better chipsets. If I recall correctly, the Apple AirPort Extreme was an example of the former and the Google OnHub an example of the latter. Now we have “mesh router sets” that trade features and performance for smaller sizes and cheaper components. Hopefully in the Wi-Fi 6E timeframe we’ll go back to performance routers that don’t look like spiders. It’s not that I don’t expect devices to get updates, but so much in networking gear depends on working around chipset bugs, I can’t imagine every router manufacturer supports their routers equally well... the number of routers I’ve bought that didn’t last even two years could probably fill a medium-sized box for me. Which highlights how hit-or-miss buying such gear tends to be, I suppose.
> It’s sad that it’s come to this point but the end result may be better for everyone.

You make a lot of good points, but I am afraid that when such organizations start caring the cure will be worse than the disease. Some of this already leads to either draconian security policies (that make development hard but do not improve ransomware security by much) or passing the risk on someone else, for example by buying a security policy (which increases costs, but seldom improves security). Similar to most restrictions introduced "because pornography" or "because terrorism" those are likely to be mostly a drag on society.

We might eventually get to better security practices: general policies that are easy to implement and not onerous to comply with and flexible exceptions, where the damage is small and relaxing a policy leads to other improvements, but this state seems very far away. My 2c.

All the functionality etc. from your sheet works exactly the same – so for example once a user submits a New Record form in Stacker, we'll show them the record with all the formulas computed directly from GSheets.

I wrote a fair bit of Haskell about a decade ago; I'd rate myself a novice still, but I'm confident that I could knock out some games in a game jam using Haskell.

I'm surprised no one has plugged Hoogle. It was the hands-down best resource to make Haskell reasonable for me. But even still, I found code that I wrote in Haskell not unlike the plentiful amount of code I wrote in Perl: returning to it after the fact was tedious.

If it were immeasurable and undefinable, then we wouldn't have studies showing disproportionate sentencing of Black people [1] or the persistent negative effects of redlining [2]. And if it were unchangeable, we wouldn't be able to construct studies to show the specific choke-points of racial inequality, nor suggest policy solutions to remedy them.

> What is the systemic racism measure for Canada vs US?

I don't understand this. Why do you want to measure against other countries, and why phrase it like you just want one number? Is it not enough to claim that certain inequalities appear in certain aspects of our society?

It would be like asking for a measure of our foreign policy. Sure, we could probably make one, but that seems like an entirely inadequate means of actually assessing what's happening in a complex sociological ecosystem. Our assessments have to be more individualized.

> That is his point, you can use that stick to beat anyone and anything you want without having to supply a shred of evidence. Just keep repeating it and call everyone who disagrees racist or Uncle Tom.

You can do that with anything though. I've heard all the same language used in Climate Change discourse: "well, if you don't think humans caused climate change, they'll just label you anti-science and beat you out of the discussion." This is just a blatant rhetorical tactic to shift discussion from about the actual problem—and indeed all the evidence that this problem has—to nebulous Twitter mobs.
