>When on the phone everything I say is with the knowledge that someone (the receiver) is listening. In my home I make no such assumptions.

I don't see how this point is relevant when the police can bug your house with a warrant.
Check out the book Good To Great by Jim Collins. The entire book is about this exactly.
Just some back-of-the-envelope calculations:

Louisiana population 4.65M

Lafayette population 126k

Miles of road in Lousiana: 130k (https://blog.cubitplanning.com/2010/02/road-miles-by-state/)

Assume Lafayette's share of road miles is proportional to population, and you get around 3500 miles of roadway around Lafayette. Minimum paved road construction cost is ~$2M/mile, according to https://www.artba.org/about/faq/#:~:text=Construct%20a%20new....

So a very conservative road replacement estimate for Lafayette is about $7B, and that's just the roads. The Strongtowns figure may be off, but it's likely the right order of magnitude.

> Did you continue to feel that way after the episode?

yes, but not without effort,its like that episode taught me how to make connections more easily, or be aware of them more consciously. I remember it wasn't rare to be told on my work: - how the hell did you know it was that? when i was asked to take a look into a problem/tools/frameworks even areas not related at all to what I was doing, my answer often was, i don't know. it happened to me so often that i thought that the information was there and the connections were made without being conscious.

Also happen that is extremely hard to express my self or explain things that i know i can handle in my mind, but i guess im just shy.

> When things connect or we're making progress, we tend to feel happy/euphoric. So what is the reason that the doctor recognized the above as bipolar type 2?

I guess i was very talky,remember commenting him that I memorized/learned a bunch of stuff and i was able to recall it at will, I was very exited, too much I guess. he told me "a little bit more.. and you are going to think you can fly and jump off a building", so he told me to call him every day that week to report, I was delusional. Also, the diagnosis made me think of the past, and saw a very clear pattern of ups and downs. I don't feel depressed when I'm down, I just become apathetic, bored, angry and results in frustration , the energy is there,and its too much, but I'm there paralyzed. also my ability to express ideas, opinions or just the use of the words degrade substantially.

> When does "feeling optimistic" end and where does "bipolar" start?

In my experience with states of hypomania: the optimism is just not proportional to the achievements I guess, but you aren't going to be aware of that. you become another person, your confidence go to the roof, and your anxiety to 0, you feel at the top of the world, you can easily become a con artist if you want. that is when you start to do things that puts you in danger, physically, monetary , sexually,etc...

Historically it would take quite a lot before the police would try to eavesdrop on someone's private conversations. So far the availability of this kind of data has tended to lower the bar for police to get access significantly, which brings us closer to a surveillance state.

I don't think it's a good idea to serve a static website out of a Wasabi bucket - they might suspend your account if it receives any significant traffic.

Their pricing model is to be cheap by not apply egress bandwidth charges, on the understanding that this will be low compared to the storage used.

The pricing FAQ says "If your monthly downloads (egress) are greater than your active storage volume, then your storage use case is not a good fit for Wasabi’s free egress policy", and "If your storage use case exceeds the guidelines of our free egress policy on a regular basis, we reserve the right to limit or suspend your service" [1].

[1]: https://wasabi.com/cloud-storage-pricing/pricing-faqs/
I haven't seen evidence either way and I don't own one. It should be pretty easy I'd think. You can measure the traffic volume when nobody is there + 8 hours or so and when you're having lively conversation + 8 hours or so (in case there's some kind of delay)

I know lack of evidence doesn't mean it doesn't exist, but if that came up empty then it'd be hiding pretty good.

Although honestly I'd delay transmission until user interaction and then hide in that noise - it'd be the first thing I do.

Eh, look at the traffic anyway
Have you seen under what pretexts people have gotten arrested? A few days after 9/11 there was this Egyptian guy who had bought a copy of MS Flight Simulator and who had spilled a box of powder sugar, he ended up in custody, and these days there's all sorts of Chinese postdocs under FBI surveillance.

And you want to invite FBI into your living room?
Gatsby vs. Next.js
> "the US is an anarchist wonderland where consumers have no protections at all" is a harmful and false meme, what we have is the widespread assumption that consumers have no protections

The biggest problem is that the US legal system is incredibly expensive. You can have justice, but only if you tens or hundreds of thousands of $$ to spend and prevail. In theory, everyone can get their day in court and (likely) enjoy reasonable protection. In practice, that's not happening.

Instead, what's happening is that such things wait for class action lawyers to take the case - which I would guess happens to less than one in a hundred cases in which a company utilizes this asymmetry.
Exactly, this is an important distinction. Self-censorship in the most intimate private sphere means one's freedom of expression is fundamentally limited in a severe way.

You make a good point, but in the past the same argument was used to say that Slavs or Latins (southern Europeans) would never be perceived as the same race as the people of Germanic descent. I think you're right that Hispanic is closer, though. Think of Hispanic people like Ted Cruz or Marco Rubio, are they really perceived as so different from white? Also, speaking to your comment that you are an Asian that has been to the USA, I want to mention that the author of the book is partly of Asian descent himself.

Important to keep perspective: The study found ~10k eldery Germans living in Eastern Europe, and presumes more in other countries. Let's say 100k German seniors got deported by their family, living under questionable conditions.

That is not even remotely in the same ballpark as the ~70 million elderly unable to buy food in the US (cited in the OP). However it is true that there is an underlying problem in probably most of the West...

I used to live in a small French village, and one year a pizza vending machine appeared.

This is my big worry about the move towards renewable power: it seems to involve simultaneously making everyone entirely reliant on electricity for critical needs like heating, cooking and transport which were often powered by at least partially grid-independent (but CO2-emitting) sources, at the same time as making grid power less reliable. A battery might be enough to keep a primarily fossil-fueled furnace up and running but they're meant to be going away. Also, peak power demand is absolutely going to be in the middle of a really nasty cold snap in parts of the world that require heavy use of heating.
But nothing of this has to do with OO. This is an argument at the relational level.

And yes, if there's something as fundamental a concept in the business model as a default contract that's in effect when no other contracts overrule it, then IMO it damn well should be represented explicitly in the persisted data model.

I didn't talk about the specific nature of the representation. The important part is that the intent of the data should be explicit - data lives longer than code.

I've seen far too many DB schemas leaning too hard on implicit assumptions and inferring information that lead to hard to understand data models, unnecessary complex (and hard to optimize) data access (no matter the paradigm), and well, lots of errors.
You can get a pretty good idea from power usage, storage, and internet usage. Unless there's multiple hidden revolutionary breakthroughs in speech transcription or compression, nothing unsavory is happening at scale.
In my (US) city, they put in a bike lane along a street downtown with a lot of restaurants. It used to be a two-way street, now it's a one-way with a two-way bike lane taking up the rest.

People I work with argued that it was a bad idea because the restaurants would lose business because now there is less parking, and it just blows my mind that not being able to park directly in front of a restaurant is a deal breaker. Isn't the whole appeal of a city's downtown area to walk around a bit and look up at all the skyscrapers?
Nearly all of my local politicians flex their positions to enrich themselves and stifle competition. It's rather blatant, and a few antagonistic people with free time have spent countless hours documenting these abuses.

The employees of the city laboring under these politicians are burnt out and have little good to say about their bosses in private. The politicians won't devote effort to anything that isn't: extinguishing a fire, enriching themselves,or getting re-elected. So the managers of various departments settle into autopilot because they don't have the support they need, and this apathy trickles down through the ranks destroying morale, wasting money, and ultimately causing far greater costs to the taxpayers in the long run.

When I did my A-level in maths the course was half pure and half applied maths.

The pure maths course was mandatory, but for the applied side you had the choice of either mechanics or statistics. At the time I was much more interested in physics, and was considering it as a degree course but, even if I'd done that, statistics would have been far more useful to me.

I certainly wouldn't choose to drop geometry or calculus, but I've had many occasions to regret my choice of mechanics over statistics during the past two decades.

People already pay for Telescreens in their houses.

Smart speakers almost seem like a downgrade from that.

It's far, far easier in practice to use an unambiguous gesture like a button press on a phone than it is to use an unambiguous gesture with a smart speaker.

Most normal people could get by with a voice assistant on their phone that required manual prompting, but a voice assistant like Alexa that required you to walk across the room and push a button to use it would be useless -- at that point carrying your phone in your pocket would be a better UX experience.

How the products are designed and implemented in the real world matters: phones are designed to be in-reach of people, smart speakers are not. You can't just stick a mute button on a smart speaker and say it's the same UX as phones now.

> How many people that refuse to have a smart speaker also refuse to have a smart phone?

If somebody is avoiding a smart speaker out of privacy concerns, but they have an always-on voice assistant on their phone, the correct response to their concerns is not to tell them to stop worrying about smart speakers. The correct response is to educate them about their phone settings so they can change them and exercise more agency over their lives.

As already explained, there is still an important distinction. One would first have to be the subject of some kind of criminal investigation, and then your house could be bugged from that point in time.

When data is requested from a device like a smart speaker, suddenly everything that has been said, even before a potential investigation, would be accessible.

the effects of exponential growth

Oh god not this again.

The problem the world has right now is not a lack of understanding of what exponential growth means. Plenty of people understand that just fine. It's so easy to understand that there is even a simple ancient parable about it (of the Chinese Emperor and the chess board).

The problem is people who are obsessed with the concept of exponential growth even though "grows exponentially until everyone is infected" is not a real thing that happens with viruses, even though COVID-19 no more shows exponential growth than the sine wave does (sin roughly doubles at points), even though Farrs Law is all about how microbial diseases show S-curve type growth.

This leads to crazyness like the UK's chief medical officers going on TV and presenting a graph in which the last few data points are in decline, but with sudden endless exponential growth projected into the future, along with claims that "this isn't a prediction, but clearly, we have to take extreme action now because of exponential growth".

Observing exponential growth for a few days in a row does NOT mean endless growth until the whole world is infected. Growth rates can themselves change over time, and do. That's the thing people don't seem to understand.

To anyone reading DetroitThrow's comment. Madison's own words delineate what he thought of property.:

" That is not a just government, nor is property secure under it, where the property which a man has in his personal safety and personal liberty, is violated by arbitrary seizures of one class of citizens for the service of the rest."

and Madison's closing words:

If the United States mean to obtain or deserve the full praise due to wise and just governments, they will equally respect the rights of property, and the property in rights: they will rival the government that most sacredly guards the former; and by repelling its example in violating the latter, will make themselves a pattern to that and all other governments.

They can bug my house, but they can still only listen in on what is being said after the bug was installed.

Smart speakers transcribe everything they hear, meaning you lose all tone and nuances of speech patterns, creating a very dangerous cocktail when allowing law enforcement to do text searches or even worse, let AI sift through it.

Imagine a speaker that is “always on” while watching black hawk down, or Air Force one, transcribing every line, or worse, a line here or there.

I have the same opinion of wide surveillance as DNA registers. It allows for law enforcement to be lazy, and does not guarantee the right person is convicted. In fact it moves the burden of evidence from the prosecutor to the defendant. Suddenly you have to prove your innocence instead of law enforcement having to prove your guilt.
