Most of the responses to your post are critical, but I couldn't agree with you more. Having a local database would solve all kinds of performance, connectivity and privacy problems. Transparent background synchronization would be beautiful.

Unfortunately, this is a really hard problem to solve. Sync is a bear of a problem in the face of conflicts. An immutable datastore with a log file of all mutations would help a lot, but you'll still have to manage the conflicts. This is not only a back end problem. What kind of user interface do you present that actually makes sense to an untrained user? "Bill changed Mary's name to Marybeth, but Fred changed it to Mary Beth. Which is correct?" Most users will say "Whaaaa? Why are you bothering me?"
The article is pretty light on actual details, but it's a great example of how media narratives are mostly post hoc nonsense. It seems like forecasters took a calculated risk and turned out to be right. If the storm had followed the predicted path this same article would be painting them as irresponsible villians for not telling people what the models truly predicted.
I like this article because it reminds us of the relationship between privacy and freedom. Important freedom. Freedoms that go far beyond our computer code. In fact, survival.

I think you’re oversimplifying it. I was on teams that participated in architecture design for this stuff at Twitch. If we had 100,000s of clients polling at the same moment, that would absolutely knock over the server, the canonical “stupid easy” fix is to add jitter, which can be done on either client or server.

In fact the pull based approach is doing work all the time to process all the polling. A push based approach only does work when needed (when data changes).

I’m not saying it’s not new or hard to scale. I’m just saying objectively that push based is more efficient at least in terms of raw data sent down the wire

>Privacy is about ensuring no one has your data who shouldn't

Yes and that is because that someone can use it to harm you and you'll suffer. Ensuring no one has your data who shouldn't is only one way but not the only way to prevent the suffering.

Let say you know my credit card account number, the reason I don't want other people to know the number is because it can be used to stole my money.

But what if there is way that even though you know my credit card number, you can't stole my money, then having my credit card number public would not be an issue for me.

Analogy is not perfect, but with knife, my point is we let everyone to easily obtain knife even though we know that it can be used to harm people. One way we do this is by having a severe enough punishment as a deterrent for people who use it to harm other. This is what I mean by fixing the issue that arise due to easily accessible knife.

When did this change? You need to codesign/notarize your application lest users get the super scary warning that tells them to move it to trash when they try to run it. Apple literally tells your users your app is garbage unless you pay for this. Definition of a shakedown.

In fairness, many of these are open source and at least in the case of pip, for many years there was literally only two maintainers although now there a couple more. This is what I learned at one of the python conferences.

It’s odd how open source packages that big companies use can be reliant on so few people.

Edit: although checking the pip github, there more people committing so maybe I got something wrong, but there is far more activity starting around 2019.

There's also Hans Camenzind's "Designing Analog Chips"[1]. Free on his website.

"During his career at four different companies he designed the first integrated class D amplifier, introduced the phase-locked loop concept to ICs, invented the semicustom IC and created the 555 timer. He has designed 151 standard and custom ICs so far."

[1] http://www.designinganalogchips.com/
I don't think this is necessarily an indictment of the company, though. It's reasonable for a company to keep the same stack for five years, and it's also reasonable for a developer to want to move on at that point so they can learn something different. If you stay in the same bubble for too long you do stagnate; not because you always need to be learning the very newest thing, but because you always need to be learning: diversifying your skillset and broadening your understanding of your field.

Hobby projects are well and good, but there's nothing like having to solve full-scale problems that you don't get to pick and choose. When a hobby project gets too hard in a way that isn't fun, I drop it, because I'm doing it for fun. But some of the best lessons I've learned have come from things I was forced to solve.
Well all the managers have been shredding documents, apparently, so maybe either check everyone's clothes for particulates from shredding and trust the person with the least agreeing particulates on them?

Or, DNA swab the shredders, discount the testimony of anyone who comes up?

They should reduce the number of questions needed.

I know that's not the game here.
How about the fix being proper education?

If we educated everyone on logic and reasoning, then each person could do their own fact checking. I'm pretty sure that if the citizenry isn't capable of doing their own fact checking, they will also be susceptible of falling victim to false/compromised fact-checking systems. This lack of education is, in my view, the root of many problems in the US today and undermines the basis of a legitimate/well founded democracy.
>If we say e.g. YouTube is not allowed to remove content, that's actually a restriction of freedom of speech. In particular, YouTube's freedom of speech.

This is not quite right, legally speaking. Currently Youtube and other platforms enjoy the protection of Communication Decency Act Section 230 [1]. In particular, the passage "No provider or user of an interactive computer service shall be treated as the publisher or speaker of any information provided by another information content provider".

This passage has two side effects. One is, those platforms enjoy a liability protection - they cannot be sued for the content published on them, as they are not 'speaker/publisher' of the content (the original poster is). The other is, those platforms should not enjoy the freedom of speech protection - as they are not, legally speaking, the 'speaker/publisher' of the content.

The 'freedom of speech of Youtube' argument runs counter to Youtube's best interest - immunity from civil liability, as granted through the Section 230.

I haven't bought anything off Amazon in awhile. I'm sure I still use AWS when I browse the web but I'm not militant in my lack of support. Hopefully they move somewhere else, but it's fine regardless.

I'd be on the next flight out if there was some sort of undocumented American community somewhere in Western Europe or something. But that simply doesn't exist.
In some sense, if you did not send police anywhere at all, you would have no crime to report.

The solution to end crime, then, is to never send the police anywhere.
Correct, it is an issue regarding the lack of Chinese speech rights. The US constitution is irrelevant in China.

Human rights, however, are natural rights.

When I hear ML, deep learning, etc, I consider it a red flag for exactly the reasons you state.

It's kind of batty actually, people looking for ideas to make money just been taking old ideas and attaching ML to the side of it as if that automatically made it better. And then not educating their customers on the limitations of ML both generally and with respect to their data size.

I personally think the companies that make and sell the software that the police used to make incorrect arrests should be legally liable. Yes, the police shouldn't have blindly trusted the software, but I guaran-fucking-tee you part of why they did is the marketing from the company themselves.

The 14th Amendment expands the scope of the 5th Amendment by clarifying when and how Due Process must be applied. The Court has generally expanded the scope over the last 200 years, and I do not think TikTok will have to seriously argue whether or not Constitutional due process applies in this case. The arguments should mostly lie in whether or not Due Process was applied and likely more on the application of Federal law in the case.
Why your next content gig hire might be an AI
Isn't this just computerization of what already existed? "Hey, I need to get my arrest numbers up so let's head on down to <area of town> where we know we'll pick up at least a couple people for <mostly harmless activity>". Now the police are just optimizing the algorithm to maximize their goal.

The problem isn't the means, it's the goal itself.

Where the police can predict they're going to be arresting a lot of people, maybe instead we should be focusing on how we can reduce the problems in those areas that lead to crimes and arrests. Send some social workers, some youth outreach, open a food bank, get health workers in there.

"Tough on crime" policies gets expensive when you have to house and jail all those "criminals". It's a lot cheaper to just prevent future crime by helping people.
One can either look at this superficially and just laugh at the guy, or can read deeper into it and realize that maybe the Internet isn't as great as we thought (personally I think it's been a net negative for society and humanity as a whole -- unlocking revenue for businesses isn't a positive in my eyes). There's now a whole generation of (mainly) men under ~35 who have been disenfranchised and are almost completely disconnected from their own reality. The Internet is their only conduit.
> (And there are strong parallels between big tech and biglaw, especially for junior devs/associates, but that's a bit of a tangent)

Are there parallels? I mean to some degree all large, well paying orgs are going to have similarities, but a plucky undergrad coming out of CalTech will get $130k+ at a FAANGM or orgs that pay roughly in that continuum, and be able to jump to all sorts of other options, while most newly minted lawyers are looking at average salaries of $70-$80k USD while having huge law school debt on top of undergrad debt. This means ruthless wageslavery at BigLaw until you make partner or you pay off enough of that debt to walk.

As a dude with a PoliSci degree and a minor in IT, I did a good hard look at the cost benefits when I graduated... and went IT. As the bad tattoo says: "no regurts".
It is equally fascinating to me that people who do not work with aircraft, pilots, ships, radars or aviation in general automatically assume that the pilots are not incorrect. being a military pilot doesn't make one an expert on all aircraft/weather/radar etc. The scope of their expertise is far smaller than popularly believed.
A lot of facebook's value prop for users is in what you're saying - not as a social media company, but as a centralized identity provider for the social graph.

Perhaps a decentralized solution could still use a centralized identity provider to help with things like spam & impersonation/fake profiles and prove who they are, while still allowing users to own the information _about_ themselves.

The problem here is incentives; there's not much money in being a dumb identity resolver unless you're harvesting everyones data AFAICT, so I sort of doubt a private consumer solution will emerge in the near future.

Love the idea. I see that the Terraform parser looks like it's pretty isolated from the rest of the code. Would it be reasonably possible to generate a generic plan from something else (such as a CloudFormation changeset in my case) rather than tying it directly to Terraform?

I think you underestimate how many power users use macOS. Most of their privacy and security marketing isn't really targeted at normal people. The avg. person doesn't really care that much.
A few times I have checked out a git repo on my Mac that had two identically named files, only differing by case.

Talk about a confusing experience. As soon as you checkout the file, it tells you that a file has been deleted. All normal git ways of fixing the issue don't work, because it comes down to the git repo thinking there are two files but the file system not letting that happen.
Note: “Gerät” is simply the German word for “Device”, “Machine” or “Equipment”.
I find it unlikely Apple is going to compromise their their privacy first reputation to make an advertising platform which is competitive with Google's. I wouldn't be surprised to see advertising if Apple releases search, but it will likely be context (what you searched for) driven reliance rather than based on deep tracking. That would make it far less appealing to the skeezier advertisers. I'd expect something similar to what you see in News.

I can't see how Apple would even do the kind of search result pollution Google does now. In fact, I suspect the only reason Apple is launching advertising is because they see an opportunity to provide a better experience—namely one where you see organic results immediately.
