Like others, I'm eager to hear more of your thoughts.

I also have a theory. A bit of a riff on Rob Pike's observation (IIRC): "Show me your data and I'll understand your code".

Enterprise-y (corp IT) projects are data centric. Functional programming emphasizes flow-of-control over the data flow. Even more so than functional decompensation (imperative programming) and object-oriented.

Donald Norman's notion of "affordances" applies. Any one can certainly "do COBOL" in Scheme, but pushing that rope requires uncommon insight and intention.

> all is well and good until you actually encounter a judge or human with reasoning skills and the ability to trivially perceive what's /actually/ going on, and then it all falls apart.

Not disagreeing at all! My suggestion was predicated on the idea that this particular medical regulation might be a "Type II" law. To explain — I feel like there are two types of law:

• Type I: law that has a logical "spirit" behind it (usually because it was drafted all-at-once by a small number of authors) where judges will interpret the law and violations against it as reasonable human beings do;

• Type II: law (usually more "regulation", but let's call it all "law" here) that is effectively the output of a continuously-iterating bureaucratic process; or law with a "spirit" that is obviously contravened by newer laws, but which still stands because no case has yet come to knock it down; or where there's no "spirit" to the law at all, just an infinite stream of under-the-table negotiated compromises, encoded as a huge book of requirements and exceptions.

Type II law includes, for examples: tariffs; statutory crimes; and created-by-fiat licensing schemes. Judges can't think like humans when deciding whether someone has violated a Type II law, because there's no human-legible rationale behind why the law exists. They have to just plug in the formula specified in the legal code, and see what happens.

I suspect that much of medical regulation is Type II law. Insofar as that's true, you could get away with a lot as long as you still adhere to the precise wording of the relevant requirements.

This particular case (EMR software) may indeed fall more under the provision of a Type I law/regulation, though.
I wasn't able to instantiate any of them, I couldn't figure out the proper syntax. There are no examples anywhere that show how to used them.
> without telegraphing to the attacker.

To extend this thought: I recommend that you don't roll out single mitigations at once anymore. Debugging is always confounded by having multiple simultaneous errors causing the same problem. Doing one at a time just lets him ladder up with you. Knock out some rungs.

Always do pairs or triplets from now on if you can.

Why? Because the actual truth of these child trafficking rumours is unknown.

But it accentuates your point. There are exceptions here and there, but your initial point seems to be very true: generally speaking, people are literally unable to think logically about many things. And many additional things (that we do not yet understand) are surely layered on top to exacerbate the problem - one I've observed is that the mind seems to have an aversion to the unknown, which plausibly makes sense since the brain arguably evolved to optimize for fast decisions...at times, indecisiveness could be deadly, so a bias against it should be surprising. (Is there any truth to theories like this? Once again, it is largely unknown - at best we typically have a few (unreplicable) psychological studies that hint at it.)

Although, I think all is not lost - while individuals may not be able to do it independently, perhaps more structured crowd sourced approaches could help. I think by decomposing a story down into discrete assertions, each with an epistemic status of some kind (with attached evidence), could go a long way to improving public perception of reality. Whether such an approach is in the interests of powerful people seems questionable.

You may notice that the public discourse on important issues tends to take the form of a meme war (battle of mini-narratives repeated over and over), as opposed to a singular comprehensive document summarizing what is known, highlighting portions that are unknown or disputed (with competing arguments). Are meme wars how one would run a complex software project? Not me. But why do we run the planet this way? And why can nobody notice?

For some answers to that last question....some people have complex theories to explain why people can't seem to think straight, this one is a bit deep but quite interesting. My very rough take is that our perception of reality largely consists of or is shaped/defined by the ideology we have been raised in, and as a result we simply can't "see" objective reality itself.

The problem can't be solved through education because, at the bottom, the disagreements have nothing to do with facts -- they have to do with values. Educated, rational people disagree about values.

That's not to say that we always agree about the facts, only that the reason we disagree about the facts can usually be traced to a disagreement over values. When we do agree on values, factual questions become a technical problem -- which education could theoretically solve.

I think the solution is to have faith in plurality and be less worried that someone, somewhere has different values than us. There is a line but I don't think we're close to crossing it.

Most countries arrest people who are breaking windows, setting things on fire, engaging in riots after being told to disperse and illegally carrying weapons. All of the people who were arrested were charged and then released (pending bail, recognizance, etc per Washington law).

UFOs are just unidentified flying objects. It's pretty hard to identify flying objects when you're moving hundreds of miles per hour, looking at another object moving hundreds of miles per hour, from a distance of miles, and you're looking at it through a camera lens.

In fact "TablaM" come to sound like "Kablam!" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9glnVMq1xrE, a nickelodeon weird program of the past (when it do a lot of cool things). I have a habit of put weird names to my projects...

Then I morph into tablam, and later in the game I create a pseudo-plausible rationalization where "Tabla (spanish)" == "Table" and M is for "Multi-paradigm, -platform, -dimension, etc" that is the one explanation I will use in case get serious people asking me :)

I think suppression has played a role, but not as great as you're making it out to be. We didn't have the platforms taking action on the conspiracies initially and the audience for them grew like crazy. The ideas grew organically and through recommendation systems.

> Which crimes or actions warrant shooting or killing someone, in your opinion?

No situation warrants killing someone, but there are situations where if that happens it shouldn't be a surprise or immediately viewed as an injustice.

Specifically, violent crimes or crimes that when responded to by police, can turn into a violent situation:

- Direct violence (homicide, murder, domestic abuse, etc.)

- Gang related activity (drug operations, sex operations, etc.)

- Resisting arrest (there's no way for an officer to know what you'll do next and if non-lethal force cannot subdue you, then escalation is warranted)

Where it seems a lot of these situations get out of hand is more in the gang-related or resisting arrest category. It's reasonable for officers to defend themselves, and while it'd be ideal for a non-lethal outcome to happen in each case, it's impossible for every situation to end this way.

Something I've suggested elsewhere when it comes to the "how to reform this?" question is to do a few different things:

- Increase the pay of officers to be at the ranking of a doctor/lawyer while also requiring equally stringent qualifications and training.

- Both before and after admission to the force, regular psychological screenings and profilings that evaluate both your record, your relationships, and your social media history (warranted due to the amount of power you're granted and offset by the high pay).

- Public voting for police chiefs, psychologists, and other officials combined with the above routine psychological screenings and profiling.

Sadly, even with all of this, there will still be mistakes and injustices but I think the above can have a significant impact on making law enforcement less prone to violence.

It wasn’t my argument. However, I think the limiting principle of their argument was clearly stated: if harm to the individual is less than the gain to the many, it’s ethical (according to them). Where that line is crossed is going to be different for everyone.

However, I think that most people would agree that the line is crossed well before throwing away children’s toys or killing people for their kidneys. Hence the slippery slope fallacy.

My point is simply there are guidelines around touchbar - despite your claims. Stop trying to claim that there is no guideline - as I have repeatedly pointed out - if you are using touchbar libs to fingerprint devices for ad networks - that is not allowed as one example.

If this app wasn't doing any of that, then great! The reviewer was wrong. But to claim no rules around touchbar usage and calls is entirely false.

Niphtio | Full-time | Frontend Software Developer | $99K–$146K | REMOTE (US or Canada only)

We're an early stage, self-funded start-up, founded by one of the creators of
Google Reader, and we are a 100% distributed team. (USA or Canada only — we
cannot sponsor or transfer visas at this time.) We're looking for
mid/senior-level software developers to join us in building the next generation
of content aggregation, curation, and discovery tools.

Some technologies we're using:

- PostgreSQL

- Redis

- Kotlin

- GraphQL

- AWS SQS and S3

That said, we care more about your ability to learn new things and your passion
for excellence in our craft than preexisting knowledge in any specific
technology.

As a small team we're looking for generalists, but with a focus on building
back end systems. You will have a direct influence on setting the direction of
our products as well as shaping our company culture from the ground up.

Please apply here: https://bit.ly/niphtio-hn-202009

We'd love for you to join our team!
This is not correct. Section 230 does not restrict or amend a sites freedom of speech, nor does it make a distinction between a platform or publisher.

The effect of the law is that sites have less civil liability for user generated content, even if they make some decisions about what content is acceptable.

Those decisions can't get limited under the first amendment, and the content still has 3rd party speech protection.

So the government asking YouTube to remove a video would be a 1a violation, by controlling it's moderation decisions.
Having someone or something else doing it

I am free to breathe, I have to physically do it though.

Some people have a machine to do it for them, they certainly aren't free -- https://www.theguardian.com/society/2020/may/26/last-iron-lu...

Sure, I sacrifice my freedom in the name of ease or expediency all the time - I'm not someone like Stallman, but I'm conscious of the tradeoff, and one of those is that services I use may well shut down, sell themselves, and indeed sell my data. That's part of the price of not being free.

Yeah, at this point I view “install closed source software from a not-well-known source” as a very high risk choice. I was thinking of adding this to my set of tertiary browsers, until I couldn’t find the license/source. I wish them well but closed source is a no-go for me.

I don't know about all dumbphones, some models from last century (many of which won't function on today's networks because the radio standards they need are no longer deployed) aren't even smart enough to manage over-the-air firmware updates and it may be impossible to meaningfully reprogram those. But, like I said, if it doesn't speak a modern radio protocol it can't use the network so who cares?

I believe a Nokia 6310 is just barely new enough that it should work everywhere in the world, although I might be mistaken.

This phone (and many from that era) implement Java MIDP, a thin Java API to do some simple things commonly across different models of mobile phone. In particular we need to discover the UTC time (or at least a local time and then use a stored offset) and remember a secret, and then calculate the TOTP code and display it.

Getting a program onto these phones isn't necessarily easy though. It's not like they're running a web browser and you can just type in a URL somehow. You need to either have a dedicated program and a cable to connect it to a PC, or else you might be able to use WAP, a long obsolete simplified hypermedia protocol for these phones.
