This a regulator leaking the data.

Not a bank employee leaking the data.

Why would they leak it? Cause they know the system is fubar.

The simple question to ask is how many people are needed to monitor the system.

Now you have one clown after another saying the banks file zillions of reports every day.

Thats not the issue. Someone has to monitor all that.

And when that someone realizes they arent making a dent, given the volumes, they get sick of the pointlessness and leak the DB.

This is going to keep happening. Swiss leaks, Panama papers, libor etc etc

We have learnt how to scale things up over the last 20 year exponentially.

But oversight can't scale exponentially.

It's unsustainable and pressure will build to ridiculous levels on regulators and law enforcement.

> Is it possible for one corporate to meddle into the product of another

Not really (except via negotiation), but it is possible for the government to. I'm not completely clear on the purpose of this coalition. Presumably it is either too fund lawsuits like Epic's (which is asking the government to stop Apple violating existing anti-trust laws), or to fund lobbying activities (which is asking the government to create stronger anti-trust laws, or to enforce them themselves instead of requiring a third party like Epic to step in and argue that they should be enforced). Or both.
This. The problem is regardless of it being either side of Hanlon's razor, malice or stupidity, I have built trust with Apple and prefer the centralized Apple (over the decentralized dev-houses of the world) to do its best to ensure neither malice nor stupidity in the product I use most throughout the day.
I am such a big fan of Scrimba and everything you’re doing, Per! As someone who learned to code by watching YouTube videos, I immediately saw the value. More than that, I saw the FreeCodeCamp community rush to sign up, engage, and learn from all your new courses. This was only a sign of what was to come. Watching the Scrimba platform, instructor base, and lesson database evolve this year has been awesome, and I see no reason why you’d slow down now. Acquisition offers from the likes of Pluralsight are coming!
Yeah don't think there are many of those.

But here is one.

>Why do you think they aren't collecting these exploits for more domestic surveillance?

They may very well be. But, first, because a 0-day in Microsoft Word or something isn't really helpful for spying on hundreds of millions of people; it's for rare, highly targeted spear phishing and other kinds of very precisely-aimed operations, and I think that's the type of stuff they generally discover and/or are given/sold

In theory some kind of major flaw in TLS or networking equipment could enable it, but the latter is risky to be doing all the time (dragnet implies constant surveillance), and the former is as well unless it can be done purely from passive observation of traffic, and I think such a critical vulnerability in modern TLS requiring no active interference (e.g. not Heartbleed) is fairly unlikely and rare - though of course definitely not impossible.

Also, I think after all the leaks and recent high-ranking court rulings, it's just not very tenable for them to keep that going as it existed before. Even if only due to future leaks and backlash. Plus, PRISM and XKEYSCORE are cool and have rad cyberpunk codenames and stuff, but from what I can tell the actual valuable, actionable intelligence they got out of it wasn't worth even 1% of what they put into it, due to having so much raw data to deal with. Trying to filter the signal out of the noise is like a needle in a galaxy-sized haystack. Future ML and other software developments could maybe make finding the needle, but it'll always be a very technically challenging problem.

And now that there's a precedent of leaking, there's a higher risk that a future dragnet surveillance program might get exposed by people who otherwise wouldn't have exposed different programs. "Vacuum everything, ask questions later" / "collect them all and let God sort them out" just seems technically, politically, legally, and practically not worth continuing. I'd also like to think some percentage of employees have probably been swayed and now morally oppose it, even if they wouldn't say it openly.

And, finally, I actually don't personally care much about being caught in that dragnet myself, so the thought of it doesn't really bother me. I work in infosec and am very privacy-conscious, too, to the point of some friends thinking I'm paranoid - I've just been in enough positions to know that it's like being the Earth: you feel important, but relative to the universe you're so small you might as well not exist. My threat model and risk profile is just very different. However, it's of course unconstitutional and unethical, and the fact that many other people feel very violated by it is more than enough reason for me to oppose it, even if it's more on abstract, philosophical grounds.
> Why does Epic get to monopolize their game's monetization?

The answer to this question is quite obviously that the smart phone market is much much larger, and has a much higher impact on society, than an in game cosmetics market.

This is what courts care about. They care about real life consumer impact.

And anyone who is not stupid, or intentionally trying to mislead people, can understand than the smart phone market matters a whole lot more, than an singular in game cosmetics market, which means that preventing monopolization in the phone market is way more important.

I'm not talking about lab-grown meat, I'm talking about plant-based meat and dairy. The most important thing to do is to creat plant-based meat and dairy alternatives that are better than animal-based products. It's hard but it's possible already possible today (e.g. see Impossible Foods).
So that turns the question into "When is used electric going to be affordable for the average person?" My gut says the answer to that is going to be ~5 years after new electric vehicles are more prevalent. But if electrics continue to retain their value the way the have been it might be a little longer, which is obviously a good thing; a car that last longer has even lower impacts.

You can't expect new cars to trickle down to the used market that quickly.

Used sales are about 2x new car sales [1] and the average used car is probably north of $20,000 [extrapolated from 2]. The best estimate I see of Teslas retaining value is 90% over 3 years [3]. If that holds then it would take 15 years (probably much closer to 10 given inflation, other cars coming up, and the average of other cars going up) for these to hit the used market at an average price point.

Also, the average person doesn't live in California, where the median family income was almost $10,000 higher than the country as a whole [4 and 5].

Internally, a hypertable "partitions" data into 1+ dimensions, typically always by time, but also by other dimensions (esp. for multi-node). Each of these partitions are called a "chunk" (and are actually Postgres tables within the DB).

You can also define arbitrary indexes on a hypertable; practically, these index definitions get "pushed down" to all chunks, so an index is built on each chunk.

Queries have two-stages:

1. Using "constraint exclusion" by looking at the SQL query and constaints on each chunk (e.g., their time interval), exclude certain chunks for the query.

2. "Push down" the query (often in parallel) to all non-excluded chunks, and collect/aggregate those results.

Various features in TimescaleDB will help even in your case:

1. You get parallelism to scan across chunks. If employing multi-node (TimescaleDB 2.x), you can parallelize these aggregations across servers.

2. You can employ native columnar compression, which gets like 94-97% compression rates, and allows you to organize your data based on selected keys (the "segmentby" parameter). So if you "segmentby" parent_id, it really collocates that data together, and enables much faster query.

Thanks for quesiton!

His impartial claims are apparently fine for the CDC and US govt. Plenty of his work is literally evidenced in his ted talks.
There literally is no controversy. It's more like 20-30 people screaming loudly that they aren't getting their way. If you listened to the podcasts the past few months/years you'd notice nothing. Unless it's a controversy that a very small handful of individuals wish to censor Joe Rogan's 2k+ hours of podcast episodes because they truly believe they have some right to do so. It's absolutely insane to me personally that anyone could try to stick the label "polarizing" to Joe Rogan, as it shows they don't know what they're talking about. He is dead in the center and purely logical to topics. He has an open mind, can listen and be kind to any person from any walk of life, and he leans towards being pretty progressive. I think it shows when someone tries to label him in such a way that they both admittedly don't know enough about him to make such classification, and that they wish to label him to signal they are in some camp or don't agree with a certain thing he has said. It's totally absurd. He is one of the kindest human beings on this planet, bar none. If he is labeled unfairly and tarred and feathered, there is virtually no hope for humanity.

Agreed. But they don't. I think this the point of government intervention to require or provide incentive to do something which benefits society even if it doesn't benefit the company.

Well, I am not a lawyer but the situation seems pretty clear. You are not the original owner but you can still use the code under the MIT license, simply meaning that you have to adhere to its license. Given that MIT license is so permissive it basically just means that you should not remove the license information.

That said, as others are trying to point out, there may be other issues that are NOT related to the code. You may have restrictions in which field you work and for what client. In this case your employer must approve your employment elsewhere and if they prevent it they must pay a significant portion of your salary until you find a suitable different employer in a different field (at least that's what my contract says but I am European so it might be different in the States).

Anyway, the simple case of using the code is allowed to you under MIT license.

A mob at least doesn't pretend to care about whomever it's bullying. The senate whose majority represents a minority has to make all sorts of contortions to act like they're doing the right thing, because they have to both justify what they're doing and their right to do it.

I think the US founding fathers somehow thought the senate would be populated by people who could put some sort of "good of the nation" ahead of their own interests.
Bit simplified. More accurate (at least from my understanding of the article):

> That's an easy opinion to have when it's not your livelihood.

Isn't this sensationalist?

Developers, just like Apple or any other software maker, can be incentivized to work _against_ the consumer. PC on '00s had many developers whose livelihood compelled them to bundle their apps as "free trials" in PCs. As a user, I had to deal with pop-up after pop-up asking me to buy the full thing; each of those apps took up disk space, power and, most importantly, my brain cells. ugh.

Developer livelihoods are not as important as a frustration-free user experience.

>Does consumer centric focus necessitate draconian developer policies?

>Who do you think makes all of those wonderful apps "consumers want" anyway?

Agreed. Apps from 3rd party devs makes the user experience wonderful. But not _solely_ because of the developer.

> which is every manufacturer would have to provide the means for anyone, including direct competitors, a means to sell software through their device.

Nope! This is not true.

The court case is only regarding companies that have significant market power.

So, if a device manufacturer does not have significant market power, then the court case, which is regarding section 2 if the Sherman anti trust act, would not apply and they would not be forced to do anything.

> So what prevents Apple from permitting third party stores but still restricting that only signed and reviewed applications can run?

What prevents them is that they have significant and durable market power, and that their behavior is anti competitive.

I have been following this closely, as well as the other nuclear startups. If nuclear becomes buildable again, it will almost certainly because of the efforts of NuScale, Terrapower, or other small scrappy startup. As you say. It would be a game changer, and the game must be changed before we start deploying nuclear.

But they haven't built anything yet. It's fairly easy to design something and show that it's safe. The AP1000 got approval, but the designs turned out to be too difficult to build, with the builders saying that some parts of the design were "unconstructable", resulting them in building their own design instead, which then had to get reapproved.

NuScale's bet is that factory-based construction will drive down the construction cost to the level that it compensates for the lack of scale that the larger reactors' teams used as justification for going really big.

Hi, if you are working in Ruby or Java, you might be interested in my project which is called AppLand (https://app.land). AppLand dynamically draws visualizations of web services, code paths, and SQL queries. The information is obtained primarily by running test cases; a browser plugin can also be used to step through the app and create a recording, which is then visualized in AppLand. AppLand gives you an end-to-end depiction of your code and data flows, so it's broader in scope than a static analysis (e.g. class diagram). And unlike APM (e.g. New Relic) you get detailed information about code internals (parameter values, function calls, etc).

Best of all, you can filter the views down to specific classes, keywords, and web service routes, which solves the scaling problem ("too many nodes!") that one generally finds with UML or ERD on large projects.

Kind of. You have to deliberately pin content (NB: My experience with it was a couple years ago, I like it but had little immediate personal use for it) for it to persist on your system. So it's more like torrents in that regard versus other distributed systems like Freenet. In this fashion, you know what you're sharing (and don't have deniability like with Freenet), but you can also control what you contribute to.
