Yep, same shit. Just checked my email, the last one in question was 'Apollo'. The form in question makes you attest you are a resident of California, which began the back and forth.

APOLLO

Dear Alex,

On behalf of Apollo, we are pleased to assist you in exercising your access rights under GDPR and/or CCPA. You may exercise your access rights as follows.

If you wish to remove the personal information that we have that is tied to your email address, then please respond to this communication by submitting the attached Identify Verification Form. We will then respond to your access request upon further email verification.

Why we require this: We require the above because GDPR and CCPA asks that we verify your identity to a reasonable degree of certainty before providing information: this is important, to avoid providing personal information to someone “spoofing” an identity. We believe this process provides that reasonable certainty while avoiding having consumers send us personal government IDs, which contain sensitive information and which we prefer not to receive. (And, unlike companies that deal directly with you, it’s not possible for us to verify you based on our prior relationship – like, by having you list your last movies watched, clothes purchased, or trips booked.)

If you prefer to avoid the above process, you can learn detailed information about the categories of personal information that Apollo collects, and how we source it, sell it, and use it for business purposes, by reviewing our Privacy Policy (available at: https://www.apollo.io/privacy). That Privacy Policy also will tell you how to easily opt out of our marketing databases.

Thank you for your interest in our business and data practices.
It's legal and commonplace to pay someone to build a house for you, and even to pay them before the house has been finished building.

So the question for Tesla is, do they make it clear that what they're selling is a promise to build a self-driving system for the car later, and not a self-driving car now?

I think there's a pretty good argument that some of their advertising is misleading. But I don't think it's as ridiculous as some people here make it seem. I just checked, and they make it pretty clear before purchasing:

> The currently enabled features require active driver supervision and do not make the vehicle autonomous.
> yours, for interpreting her arguments to mean "ASD doesn't exist" (as far as I can tell, she makes no such claim);

To quote page 431 of her book Rethinking Autism (my emphasis):

> Taken together, these three claims and associated lines of evidence argue against the existence of autism as a single disorder, spectrum, or set of autism subgroups. If autism symptoms are not one disorder, and are not many disorders, what are they? The most parsimonious and least speculative view is that autism symptoms must be symptoms.

Her book is quite explicit in its claim that autism spectrum disorder does not exist. Her conclusion (p. 433) is given under the heading "AUTISM SYMPTOMS WITHOUT A DISORDER". The whole point of her book is to argue that the disorder "Autism Spectrum Disorder" does not exist, but the symptoms do. You might say she rejects the "Spectrum" and the "Disorder" in "ASD", but keeps the "Autism" as a reference to a set of symptoms – however, her "autism" is narrower than the DSM-5's "autism", since it only includes social impairment, and considers repetitive behaviours/restricted interests and sensory issues, to be distinct symptom sets coequal with attention-deficit/hyperactive-impulsive symptoms, intellectual disability, functional language impairment, seizures, see p.434-435

To quote the blurb on the back cover "Rethinking Autism... draws the potentially shocking conclusion that 'Autism' does not exist as a single disorder. The conglomeration of symptoms exists, but like fever, those symptoms aren't a disease in themselves..." (But, the book actually goes further than the blurb says it does, because it not only rejects the idea that autism exists as a single disorder, it also rejects the idea that autism exists as multiple disorders or a spectrum of disorders, as my quote above demonstrates.)

> and hers, for arguing that the formal definitions and categorizations of ASD need to be biologically valid

Biologically valid categories would be a lot more useful than biologically invalid categories, and one of her major points is that the research community's fixation on the later is getting in the way of actually discovering the former ([1], [2]). She argues that, in place of the current widespread practice of doing research with ASD-defined samples (a confirmed ASD diagnosis as a study inclusion criteria), samples should be based on all individuals showing neurodevelopmental symptoms (mixing together ASD, ADHD, epilepsy, intellectual disability, etc, into a single sample) and then trying to study the variation in the sample in order to derive biologically valid categories to replace the existing biologically invalid ones such as ASD. [3] is an example of a study along the lines of what she recommends (indeed, they've obviously read [1] since they reference it)

I don't think so. We could win so much of the spam fight by just making signed messages mandatory. Would there still be some spam? Sure. But it's better than handing over all email to a few select companies.

I might translate this to "If you don't understand what it's for, don't use it for what you think it might be for." Things like this exist, and they are exactly as absurd and dangerous as this, but they aren't for people who don't know what they are doing, they are for people who know exactly what they are doing. It is like a booby-trapped burial site where only the priest are supposed to be able to get in without getting crushed by boulders or impaled on spikes. Unfortunately most code doesn't come with a sign that says "never call this function unless you know exactly how many C level executives are going to be up all night when you do." Engineered safety controls tell you that some things should be obscure and hard to figure out so that people who don't know what the are doing don't accidentally destroy something. On the other hand this prevents knowledge transfer and effective communication, but if it is not obscure some idiot will set both the `--i-know-what-i-am-doing` and the `--i-accept-full-legal-resonsbility-for-the-consquences-of-running-with-this-enabled` flags AND do it in a shell script. This article is spot on, and I have come to think of people who have developed this mindset as having a kind of selective lack of curiosity, say, defensive disinterest -- they see a system that they don't understand, identify that it appears to be dangerous, leave it bloody well alone, and possibly leave a note telling others to do so as well. Those in the know hopefully appreciate when the defensively disinterested warn others off, and as in this thread, take the opportunity to educate about the potentially not completely insane use cases for such things.

SpaceX was founded in 2002, I don't think Musk was timing anything.

Not the same poster, but I think his point is:

Consider a world where society lived by the anarchist principles. In that hypothetical world, most people self-organized in a large group where:

- They decided to democratically appoint representatives that flesh out large-scale agreements and called it law

- They decided it is necessary to have people dedicated to securing the lands where they live from both internal and external threats

... and so on and so forth, until they effectively self-organized into the equivalent of our current society.

Is there any difference between that world and ours? Why can't an anarchist assume that this is what actually happened (there's some merit to the idea) and be happy to live in an anarchist world, our world?
While I do like Access for some use cases, and Access provides a decent UI option as a quick and dirty for anything with an odbc driver (even csv), It's not great or the fastest option.

For that matter, you can use SQLite about anywhere you might otherwise use JET, .Net Core now has a driver in the box, and you can use it anywhere .Net Core works.

Pack your structs to not have padding? The probable reason it sometimes works is purely how the compiler decides to do the copy. Anything that relies on implicit padding is horribly broken software.
My grandparents also looked after me when I was young, my granddad picked me up from daycare etc. But, they stayed in their own home.

Don’t get me wrong, if my parents weren’t able to take care of themselves, they would definitely move in with me. My parents are both in their late 70s, and independent, but I don’t see my dad living by himself with his hearing and eyesight going if something happened to my mom.
This wasn't a new event that affected only parents. Bit the companies rushed to provide benefits to parents because that helps them in their talent branding and being politically correct Decision makers are also most likely parents and have a blind spots to think about not parents.

I'm not saying that parents should not be given benefits but they should be applied to all employees. Singles are going through depression and would benefit from taking time off to visit their family.
Deadlines help a lot. Has it elapsed, and what was the followup?
China doesn’t cooperate with other agencies largely because they have no desire to. The purposefully shun international cooperation, then turn around and complain in People’s Daily that the international space community has rejected them. When I was at NASA we tried very hard to build a scientific relationship with China’s planetary science researchers, to no avail. We were able to get Saudi Arabia and Israel to come together and sit at the same table together, but not China.

On the US side working with China is not banned specifically, but the fact that the Chinese space program is military not civilian and because of a history of aggressive hacking and stealing of technology and trade secrets, it requires special permission and extra care.
The lesson from the book is that users will always form a mental model of how the machine works. That's fine even if it's wrong, as long as it works. But when things don't work and users have faulty assumptions about what may be the problem, it becomes hell.
It would confirm your data but they’re legally bound to respect your choice. For any fairly large orgs (eg if they’re public/listed on major exchanges) disobeying your choice would be a huge risk which they will likely not take ( the smaller data brokers don’t have as much to lose, but just to be clear it would still be illegal).
That's WaPo though. They only publish facts by mistake.
But it has everything to do with "A "community" which makes "communal decisions"", whatever you call it.

I hope Merriam-Webster clears that up:

Ability to buy house at 20 as a norm is the historical/cultural outlier. And even at that period it was not something every socioeconomic group would be able to get nor something possible everywhere.
1) get a "burner" cell phone, pay in advance service that isn't tied to you. Use cash to buy "gift card" or prepaid ahead of time for anything you do with this phone or online. Disable location tracking.

2) get a chromebook or other cheap laptop that isn't connected to "you"

Use the laptop and phone for anything you do online. Do not connect to public wifi, or use the accounts on other devices or your personal accounts on these devices.

You should be able to stay relatively anonymous this way. You will have a phone and laptop to run whatever operations/statements or other activities you want to remain private from your real life person.

You may want to go a step farther and use a pre-paid VPN service for all activities as well. But by all means, don't mingle your devices...
Your comment encouraged me to read it, so thanks for that.

I thought a bit about the phrase
"planned for future versions"
and I felt like I could see where there was a sort of miscommunication.
If someone said:
"Future versions of this product",
I think it could be reasonably understood to mean:
"any/all future versions"
which could mean:
"the (next and all subsequent) version"

The most natural meaning to me, and the one that I believe was intended is that they want it in a/some future version. And then I thought it this was simply because languages can vary in how they specify noun definiteness and indefiniteness? For example:

Other commenters here seem to say that the culture, if not the modern phenomenon, of children moving out of their parents' homes early is more characteristic of the West (U.S., Western Europe), and not so much places like China, Japan, India (continuation of tradition, less modern stigmatization). This aligns with my experience and what little I learned in school as well. (Yes, N = 1.)

It so happens that this pattern is economically inefficient, and only in our inability to support it does its discontinuation serve as a negative economic indicator. American culture makes it an effective metric in the U.S. Where it's already common for children to live with their parents longer though, such as in India, the original choice could very likely be to stay, which makes the metric less useful.
To be fair, most programmers are code monkeys. But that's true for most people in any profession. It's not a fair comparison to compare the average worker to workers of excellence.
Right. If someone did email today, you'd get a push notification with a URL to read.
It is weird how we have normalized the fact we need an app to remind us to drink water, or work for one hour. I don't see how this can help one make substantial and long changes to one's life and habits.
The reason for this anger is the fear of losing control of the narrative. By keeping the Sanskrit scriptures arcane, they can build their own narratives around it. But when scholars start studying those text, the cat will be out of the bag.

They may feel that it is harmful to the Hindutva interests when scholars write about the procedure for cow sacrifice mentioned in Yajur Veda or the racism and misogyny perpetuated by Manu Smriti or the Soma drinking revelry in Rigveda.

These efforts to stop others knowing these scriptures are happening since pre-historic times and even codified in Hindu Law.

Dharmasutra says "If he (Sudra) listens in on a vedic recitation, his ears shall be filled with molten tin or lac; if he repeats it, his tongue should be cut off; if he commits it to memory, his body should be split."[1]

Dharmasutra, written circa 600 BCE, is a book on Hindu Law and Sudra is the lowest class in the Varna system.

The ban on Wendy Doniger's book in India is a case in point.

It's true. It's an American thing. That cultural expectation has in no way adapted to the economic realities of the present generation though, and I expect it to pretty much die out within 1 to 2 generations. Families are going to have to start sticking together to survive.

My dad paid rent in Pasadena, put himself through a Cal State, and put a roof over my mother and sister's head by working at a gas station. He will be the first to tell you that simply isn't economically possible anymore.
I think the EU are still being very lenient with companies right now to give them time to adjust their practices. I'm looking forward to when they (hopefully) start to hand out fines.

Seriously, I'd pay 100 dollars right now if someone just handled this all for me. And I'm sure at least a few thousands of others would too. Sounds like a decent startup idea to me.

That may be the point. I doubt a majority of users ever go near Disk Utility (certainly not ditto, rsync, etc)

MacOS sand-boxing won't give the user write access to the System folder, anyways. Apple management might not see the point in a user booting externally, when they could move their User data to an external drive, instead.

If Apple walls off the ability to boot off an external drive, it's bad for 'power users', but good, in some ways, for Apple: stronger lock-in, tighter security, easier to sell higher-spec'd Macs (ie: with larger hdd's), and more iCloud subscriptions (cloud storage).
I think you might be misunderstanding my comment, I’m not complaining about struct padding causing issues in my code, I’m saying the standard is wishy-washy about it. This can be problematic when you are doing things like memcpying a structure, or trying to zero it out before sending it somewhere else. (And, FWIW, there is no standard way to disable struct padding, and doing so will likely generate slower code anyways.)

All right, let's do the asteroid now and Yellowstone supervolcano. That way we can be done with all the bullshit in one year and continue with our lives. Yellowstone might solve global warming as well, at the cost of rapid global cooling.
Everything I know about psychiatry and therapy has me believe we are in the alchemy phase of mental health practice.

We have a huge number of theories and arguments that all sound reasonable but are contradictory and fail horribly when applied to everybody with the same disfunction label.

What I dislike mostly about the situation is pacients and families rarely being made aware of the gamble that is treatment. If the situation is bad enough you have basically nothing to lose, so sure, try anything at your disposal. But medicating young boys for being unruly for example...
If we assume that they are counted as living at home it makes the statistics rather less meaningful as we are currently going through a situation that is temporarily causing them to live at home.

I suppose if you made a category 'temporarily living at home', then you would also be able to track after Corona how many students remained living at home (which might be an indicator of economic damage)
Totally agree. People jump into extreme abstractions (React, Vue, Angular, when even jQuery is too much at the beginning) when they never experiment with the fundamentals. Using just HTML/CSS is so much fun, even better with the latest advancements, why not enjoy them while learning, instead of getting depressed in totally abstracted frameworks?
2FA on email definitely helps...

I've actually considered just scrubbing most of my online posts on social media (not that it's absolute) and using a chromebook + prepaid burner phone for new online personas per site. I've always tried to be honest about myself, my thoughts and opinions... that said, people are getting truly crazy out there.
“What they’re actually saying” was the authors point in that paragraph. How things are said is important. Why things are said in a certain way is important. Why frame being turned away a result of guest skin colour instead of host racism?

The problem with that framing is what it implies. It’s because of skin colour? Well, we can’t change skin colour, so we can’t do anything about this.

It’s a pity that we need to read so much nowadays with such attention. Particularly corporate communications.
Actually 3D video and pose detection significantly improved this year in research, but it takes a few years to put it into production, and it needs to mature a little bit.

In China, your national ID is required to get a phone, and when you sign up for WeChat, that identity is tied to your WeChat account, and then to your bank account. That's the centralized solution.

I find these two comments as insightful as they are pithy.
This is exactly the comment I wanted to read.

What's your perspective on China's desire to do things unilaterally? Are they "catching up"? Do they pose a threat to peaceful space endeavors? Are they good or bad stewards with respect to space junk?

Does your perspective here give you insight as to other ways China conducts its affairs? How do you see One Belt One Road panning out? Will China own Africa and the developing world? Will they leap frog the West?
Or maybe the other 30 commenters in this thread who've made similar apps have something to do with the fact that most users are not interested in this type of product.
