Look at Asian cities, they generally set criteria, and open and close activities in stages based on the criteria. I live in Tokyo and without much of a lockdown (I’d argue for a bit more action myself), things are OK. Right now bars are supposed to close at 10pm and people are going out less. But they’re still going to work (with masks).

Obviously the political situation and what’s feasible is different, but I hope restrictions on group sizes and a small number of activities is not infeasible. They are not “lockdown”, they are the way to avoid lockdown.
> Even giving warnings by default about unsigned apps requesting high privileges would be fine if the implied message weren't basically "everything we haven't checked is malware". Something like "We nor any other provider you've chosen to trust have no idea who made this and we haven't checked if it contains malware. This program may steal and delete all your files. Be really sure you trust the author before running this." would be much more honest.

Well, what you ask is what's written in the very first prompt screenshotted in the blog post; it says "the developer cannot be verified", "macOS cannot verify that this app is free from malware." I don't see how this choice of words is much different from your proposal.

I don't want to go too deep into the "alternative store" discussion, it's much broader than this, but let me just say Adobe Flash. I don't think Apple will ever relinquish the strategic power to force developers to adopt APIs and track their lifecycle, and never again have to deal with the Flash scenario.

If they let the door open to "alternative stores" good luck explaining to the general public how it's not their fault if <insert major app> works like shite and kills hardware performance. As an example, to this day, people still rant about Apple's "proprietary music file formats" when really it's just bog standard mp4 (it's even unencrypted... you can copy it over to any industry-standard decoder and you're good to go. Good luck with WMA (if they're still around) or whatever madness Sony came up with.

The moment they would decide a major overhaul, you'd see "alternative app stores" advertising "backward compatibility", "freedom from Apple's treadmill", fragmenting user experience in an endless passing of blame about who's fault it is for the rot.
But I'm sure similar infrastructure architecture was applied to gmail.com as it was to google.com and youtube.com.

You are comparing circunstancial issues with fundamental freedoms being denied.

My point is that if you are willing to sacrifice your freedom for the convenience provided by the hypercapitalistic (sic, and lol at how pathetic this term is) companies, then don't complain about the lack of choices available.

Try paying them just a fraction of whatever premium you paid for your iDevice. That might help.
I never proposed public infrastructure should be private only. I’m suggesting both are solutions for different problems. Just not mixed together besides small exceptions.

I’m fine with tax money going entirely to public run firms. I just may disagree on what areas the government should be getting involved in - which is most things outside of a few obvious like public infrastructure, healthcare insurance, law enforcement/justice system, etc where private incentive structures, real competition (see the phoney US health insurance ‘competition’), and where other functions of markets don’t exist or will practically excel.

I've actually had a couple of law classes and worked in an environment where legal stuff drove a lot of stuff at the company.

I think this is one of those situations where you want to survive this situation well enough to have (the threat of) the sorts of problems down the road that you are worried about rather than having worse problems because so many people died in the pandemic that the fabric of society has fallen apart and some of the rich people with bunkers in New Zealand are hunkering down there while the not rich remain stranded in what is left of the US.
Amazon itself could spoof emails, so that it simultaneously detects consumers that bite, discarding their feedback and thus removing the incentive to try and bribe consumers for positive or negative feedback.

The most elegant solution would of course be sybil free identities, ... but how do we allow for companies to possess an email adress or identity? by the concept of capacities ("hoedanigheid" in dutch): we would need to formalize the concept of communicating in a specific capacity such as saying something as a citizen, saying something in the capacity as a superior role in a company to someone with an inferior role etc...

Consider those superiors, doctors, ... occasionally (or systematically) abusing their power.

For example a citizen is entirely free to ask another citizen for a sexual favor, but depending on jurisdiction a superior can not ask this of a subjugated employee. Either the favor is explicitly asked in the role of a citizen, in which case the receiver can safely discard the message without getting accused of disobeying a superior, or the favor is explicitly asked in the capacity of a superior in which case a crime may have been commited and the receiver can demonstrate it.

This is a relatively simple example but for the greyer areas it localizes which people in a company actually crossed the line and forces all employees regardless of level to think and consider the legality of what they are asking from or being asked by another employee. For example who decided to fake emissions tests at some car company?

There was a debate between the pro & con side of minimum wages a few years back. The debaters are all pretty intelligent, intellectually honest and deep people... all things considered.

The debate was a spectacular failure, hinging on marginal interpretations of marginal datasets measuring marginal impacts. Most of the theoretical downsides end up below the noise threshold, in data.

The pro side took this as a win, disproving the orthodox economic position. The con side demanded a counter theory. Obviously, a $1,000ph minimum wage would increase unemployment. That's hard to argue against. Why is a $14 minimum wage different? Where's your theory. It's not fair if you can debunk my theory, but don't have a theory for me to debunk.

"Interesting. It works in practice, but does it work in theory?" to paraphrase a cliche from the late 40s.

It's all a good reminder that economics is not a science. The gap between theory and practice can be vast, often is. Keynes (and most of his generation) was famously wrong about the future of working hours. Even so, the theories (income effect & substitution effect) used to make this failed prediction were not discarded. Even today, college economists teach the theories and Keyne's prediction. They find a way where the theories are still right, but "below the noise threshold." IE, other factors just happened to be more important in this case.

I would also point out the the intellectual founders of modern, liberal free market theories (Hayek, Coase, Popper kinda) emphasized this. Economics is not a science.

There is no universally true answer to the question "increases unemployment among young and low-skilled workers?" There are theoretically true answer, but this may or may not be operative in practice. It's also true that food availability increases reproduction rates. This doesn't mean that adding more burger joints will increase the human population of Manhattan.

In Portugal, youth unemployment rates often tend to be high. If I were deciding for portugal, I'd be careful with my minimum wage policy. They are low in the UK. I wouldn't be concerned about gradual increases if I were deciding for the UK.

There is another possible conclusion to the "economics is not a science" point which many economists concede. One most economists are uncomfortable with. Economists shouldn't be the only word.

For example: ask low wage earners. They're the ones theoretically affected by minimum wages, for better or worse. If we want to know about the effects of some corporation policy on silicon valley, we would value the opinions of those companies. Same here. What do low wage earners think about minimum wages?

I think some subtlety has been lost on me. The parent comment said that people had the "ridiculous conception ... that the instructions are entirely useless". Then you said that no one thinks that, followed by some stuff I'll admit I didn't really understand, leading to the conclusion "... render the instruction useless".

Are you disagreeing with the parent comment or not? Are you maybe saying that the instruction is useless in chips that are in computers right now but will be useful in chips that will be released in future?
Thanks for the detailed explanation, great points. I really wonder how the volume of liquid water on Mars has changed over the aeons. Considering there is still liquid water today, I would still be cautious about claiming "no more evolution on Mars".

Cloud SRE should have a button to click to grant themselves access to an instance.

That button should create for them a fully logged SSH connection to the VM, and the data owner should be notified that SRE has connected. The data owner should then be able to see the commands executed via the SSH connection, and also request an explanation of what the SRE was doing.

The vast majority of instances are going to be things like "your instance hit a SIGSEGV, we logged in to grab the crash dump" or "your instance had a much higher than usage than all other users. We logged in to run tools to find where is was going".

They are letting people out of prison in a lot of places who haven't committed violent/serious crimes because the prisons are a breeding ground for disease in a scenario like this, the prisons are overwhelmed, the hospitals are overwhelmed, etc.

I also see that as a vastly worse legal precedent than shutting off your water to deter disease-spreading large gatherings. That's a great way to make sure we can throw lots and lots of poor people in jail -- just as soon as the pandemic is over the our jails aren't overwhelmed as a matter of course.

They locked down the city so that they wouldn't have to lock down the country and bury thousands.

The US death toll is over 170.000 now because both people and government alike did not take the measures needed to contain the disease.

But hey, 170.000 is just a number, right? Just like the trillions gained in the stock market. Fuck the people that died, they were weak. Right?

Because the rating agency is paid by the paperholder.

Even worse, those rating agencies must, by law, be used by those paperholders.

So it's a massive conflict of interest, though little different than companies paying the big accounting agencies that are auditing them.

But it gets much, much worse ...

If a board member of a large company or government agency tries to independently hire an auditor for a review of said company, the auditor will refuse - because they will not be hired by the company for future work, and also other companies or agencies.

And the 1,000 or so US-listed Chinese companies to date have not been required to show any books to the SEC, let alone the "real" set of books. All should be delisted, and the CALPERS CFO, a CCP member, should be replaced.

Muscle mass gain is a weird luxury anyway; what's important now is to maintain your fitness level, moreso than looking swole.

Calisthenics moves on the other hand require an enormous amount of strength and muscle control, something you can't gain from "just" lifting weights.

You realise that the failure of these "government projects" is routinely down to their hiring private companies to manage and execute them?

These arent "government projects". They are private projects paid for by the tax payer.

They fail precisely because of attitudes of this kind: private companies interests are not aligned with taxpayers; and people like you have led to an exodus of talent and skill from governments.

The 90s in the UK saw massive amounts of contracting out of IT, and huge amounts of wasted money as private companies rinsed the state. Since 2010s the gov has been dramatically expanding its high-talent IT capability, and routinely delivering best-in-class IT systems.

The hollowing out of the state is what causes projects of this kind to fail. The people "stealing taxpayer money" are the private interests.
> One way in which I've found the two to be incredibly similar: they're both very good at throwing me into the flow zone.

You are onto something here. I wouldn't exactly call myself a coder, but I do draw for a living and would agree this is the essential similarity between the two. Another similitude is that both involve a sense of building and play; who knows, that is perhaps the key to flow.

To the extent that the organizers received both publicity and validation that they were outlaws, yes.

It is also society’s loss to see the state and her leaders lowering themselves to such spiteful tactics.

If it’s against the law, arrest them. Denying them access to civilization is just the sort of retributive justice that makes so much of US law and order problematic. What next? Ban them from buying food? Force them to wear dunce hats in public? Throw them in the village pond and see if they sink?

Arguably it’s far more serious than a law and order issue though. A CDC cordon and enforced quarantine would have tackled the actual issue: public health.
You have to consider what would happen otherwise. If you lock down cities at 1000 infections then how many other cities manage to reach 1000 infections before you take action?

1. Development can roughly be summarized as a measure of per capita GDP.

2. The rest of the world has been gaining ground on the developed world over the last 50 years. A common pattern could be that countries institute sensible economic policies, based on what science (Economics) says works, and then when they get wealthy, become complacent, and adopt all sorts of anti-capitalistic policies that retard economic growth rates, which in turn results in all socioeconomic metrics stagnating.
> In the conclusion, everyone gets a "UBI" of 666 per month, which basically doesn't even cover rent

There are plenty of places in the UK where the average rent is below £500 pcm, or even £400:

https://nolettinggo.co.uk/blog/10-cheapest-places-to-rent-in...

It's not a requirement of a UBI that every citizen should be able to live wherever they want, but it is an assumption that most citizens would have some income other than the UBI, or already own their own home, so it's not like everyone in the country would flock to places with the cheapest rent.

> Looking at that graph at the end, I think there is some "creative graph-plotting" going on, unless I'm seriously mistaken in my calculation.

Your calculations make sense to me, and I think it is reasonable to be distrusting of an economic analysis that doesn't provide the raw data for its most crucial graph (even as a link to a CSV file).

To think British grocery chains had been pushing online services for many years and consumer acceptance was growing at a snails pace until Covid hit.

I love using those services especially if it means I can avoided a crowded store on the weekend. But my wife and I are foodies and we also love browsing the aisles to see what’s new and tempting. It’s maybe one reason why packaged food brands are desperate to get onto supermarket shelves - for the exposure.

I wonder how many other societal shifts like that we’re going to see?

As far as I can tell, there is nothing in the writeup that suggests the file wasn't there from the beginning and present on all Cloud SQL instances.

This seems much more likely than OP's exploration being detected in realtime, then someone SSHing into the container manually to put a message.
