The easiest way to come up with rules where no compromised entity is found in compliance is to make the rules impossible (or wildly impractical) for anyone to comply with.

If it were a matter of "we 100% know lots of companies that haven't had breaches fully comply with the rules", it would be a relevant data point. If we don't know that, we can just assume that the rules—much like our legal code—are written in a way where a motivated auditor can always find non-compliance. "Give me six lines written by the most honorable of men, and I will find an excuse in them to hang him." and all that...

In Sydney Australia, I have a Government app for an electronic Driver License. My public and private health insurance details are just numbers, the physical cards aren't necessary. So while I do still carry a wallet, it's only out of habit and I really should stop it.

Any cards which are specific for driving (e.g. fleet fuel, insurance, physical license as backup, etc) could live inside your car in a "driving wallet".

It's a fallacy to assume that the consequences of future automation is going to be just like past automation. There's no reason to assume that there will be new jobs to replace old jobs next time. Because this time it's going to descend on us a lot faster.

This is not a "simple" perspective, and if I'm permitted to be equally offensive, I suggest yours is a naive perspective. After all, this is already beginning to play out in our economies today.

It used to be that being successful meant that you owned the most successful store in your town, and maybe also the three other closest towns. Now, success is judged on a national or even international level. Success is achieved by fewer people at bigger scales. Success then looked like Wal-Mart. And now it looks like Amazon.

Success used to look like a dozen taxi medallions in NYC. Now it looks like Uber.

Do you really think that the "American Dream" will withstand a large fraction of truck drivers, taxi drivers, manufacturing line workers and clerical workers being made forcefully unemployed? You're not seriously suggesting that the answer is to teach truck drivers to code?

Yes, I can hear the high-pitched CRT TV noise. And also the high-pitched squeal that some CFL-backlit LCD monitors used to make. I'm not sure if it's that my ears are better, or if I'm just hyper-sensitive to sounds that other people filter out subconsciously.

I'm convinced that if some developer had sought to replace svn by thinking directly in your terms-- i.e., how can I seek to decentralize this thing-- they would have ended up with a complicated mess of a system which would be even worse at handling issues of data integrity for the end user.

I don't understand the fetish for decentralization. Why isn't the focus instead on finding the low hanging fruit of simple, centralized software which can be easily tested and quickly deployed to defend against the dark patterns we know are used to manipulate people online?

With all the (duplicated) effort to build decentralized systems that necessarily rely on gold being found at the end of open research rainbows, we could instead already have a deep set of contingencies for, say, the impending milestone when Google finally defeats the ad blockers that keep HN in its cush little bubble.
https://www.cars.com/articles/wireless-apple-carplay-and-and... lists 2019 model cars with Wireless CarPlay. I've driven one and tried out the wireless CarPlay, and it works more or less like the wired version (no lag, as smooth as wired CarPlay AFAICT). The only major inconvenience is probably that, if you have a passenger and they want to use their phone for music, you will need to pair their phone to the car instead of just finding the wire and plugging in. Takes about 30 seconds to a minute to go through all the setup. While the cars listed are not cheap by any means, there are a few moderately optioned minivans around the same cost of some of the less expensive cars from BMW (base cost around $38K USD).

Honda is also rumored to be adding wireless support ( https://appleinsider.com/articles/20/10/10/wireless-carplay-... ) for their 2021 Accord model so seems the feature is become available on more affordable cars too.
The US obesity epidemic probably has more to do with the sugar content of processed foods than with laziness. As you note, people in general are lazy. Vietnam has the lowest rate of adult obesity yet is the 8th most sedentary population in the world.

I personally really like at-will employment. I don’t want to work for a boss that doesn’t want me for whatever reason. Life is too short.

And if you’re a software engineer, it’s usually not hard to be frugal enough to save up enough to have the luxury of saying that.

We really need country-wide social safety nets, not attempts to force companies to retain people they don’t want.
> Maybe once or twice per decade is the AQ so bad in CA you have to stay indoors

We definitely had stay-inside days this year and last year, and I could have sworn we did the year before as well. That blew through your per-decade quota in recent consecutive years.

I fully expect we'll have some stay-inside days next year too.

But I do agree that the number of days the air quality is bad just does not come close to the number of days where it's really cold or really hot in other places.
It is, but that was true pre-pandemic, so that won't mark a shift in prices either way. That's baked into last year and this year.
The vast majority of people I interact with have a positive experience. Though that tiny minority that did not survive might disagree!

I'd really rather my car not gather that much data to start with. My phone provides all the mobile compute and navigation (and privacy invasion) I need. I don't think historical telemetry data of any kind is going to deliver extra value to me, the car owner. Every extra feature in a car is just another thing that breaks.

I looked and I like everything I see about it except for the mediocre camera. I want exactly what I see there, but with a premium camera and maybe a better SoC. I'm not looking for a cheap budget phone, but for that form factor and I'd pay for it. I'd have a hard time giving up my Pixel 3's camera, it'd be odd to have to start carrying around a separate camera.

Kinda reminds me of my first gen Palm Pre. Loved that phone.
If you are actually a potential rapist there are plenty of easier methods than setting up a fake repair garage and matching vibration sensors with pot holes. The entire idea is ridiculous.
I was gonna say it, but then you did.

My non-tech partner 100% agrees. “Love it” is a term that I’ve heard.

I do have a few (literally a few) custom shortcuts for weird things that it just couldn’t figure out, like playing specifically our local radio station, but other than that it’s amazing.

“Hey Siri, play <whatever>” while we make dinner. “Hey Siri, turn it up!” Hey Siri good morning, turn the lights on, set a timer, she mostly does it all with aplomb.

If this one broke I’d have another within half an hour. I might get the Mini just to put in another room and mess about.

Now, caveat: I’ve never used Alexa or Google. I have no doubt that their voice assistant stuff would be better, but it’ll be a cold day in hell before I let one of those things listen to me at home. I just don’t trust them at all.

I tested two of the accounts that I can remember having that still have content available and my wife's account.

Her account has "Controversiality" well below that of either of my accounts. What is the meaning of that term? I couldn't find it explained anywhere.

I found that both of my accounts gave nearly identical results. Interestingly enough my wife's account also is nearly identical to mine through the first half of the results and the last 6 entries are in identical order and similar percentages. Did I accidentally find my match all those years ago?

Maybe something in the way this algorithm is designed pigeonholes everyone into similar groups. It's pretty hard to trust something when so many people from such different backgrounds get similar results.

Gumroad integration looks simple. Users buy a license key and you could verify the key via their API from your extension: https://help.gumroad.com/article/76-license-keys

I'm using Paddle for my paid Chrome extension (https://www.checkbot.io/) but integration is more involved.

All work and no play is not a way to live life either. Some folks like having the latest-and-greatest, others don't mind having the same phone for years on end. If you just boil the entire world down to money in, money out, and mutual funds you are going to have a very unsatisfying and unfulfilling life.
I think some sort of framework to take your social graph and personal data with you and messaging as a baseline would already be a strong thing.

Cell service providers had to do it. It wasn't that long ago in the US when you couldn't take your cell phone number to a different provider.

Facebook, et al, could provide restricted APIs that let another authorized service gain access to your information via your user identifier. I imagine they provide partial access for favored partners already.

We are just nowhere close. If we were anywhere we would be seeing iterations of it everywhere.

Self driving will be one of those things that’s so gradual that you barely notice it arriving because there is no concrete “it’s here!” moment. It doesn’t just get unveiled one day.

For example, I bought a base line suv this year that drives itself on highways most of the time. I think it’s the coolest thing ever. And a better version will be around every year until one day I wake up and think,
“Oh wow self driving snuck up on me!”

I’ve had that very moment about my smartphone recently. My Star Trek data pad snuck up on me.

Plant patents specifically exclude plants that can reproduce asexually, like tubers. Further, it is my understanding that these grapes cannot grow from seed. You have to culture a tissue sample. Granting a 17-year monopoly to the inventor seems like a reasonable trade off if the alternative is that no one would invest the time/money to create this fruit at all.

I'm not sure what you mean by "all the analysis"; by default Rust just calls malloc.

It's true that a C++ custom allocator will have lots of "unsafe" code, but this is really where C++ shines. The tooling is more complete, the aliasing rules are better documented and understood, the language fights you less, the stdlib has explicit support, it is easier to control the codegen. Rust cannot bring its strengths to bear on this sort of problem.

If the commitment is there for WFH to become an option for all, corporations will promote one or more WFH VPs to send the message that it’s OK, as occurred for women and minorities. I’d guess they’d choose rising stars with personal commitments that make WFH the obvious humane and moral choice.
It's a bit scary how many people here are taking Vitamin D supplements. Unless you live in high latitudes just a bit of direct sunlight daily is more than enough, supplementation for the average person is rarely ever needed barring some genetic disorders or lifestyle factors.

Yes, there are good parks in the city, but even back in June I thought some were too crowded for a pandemic. You also have access to lots of nature and hiking within a reasonable drive of the city, but that only works if you have a car or trust a rental company to disinfect thoroughly.

The hard bit is the live+work space. I was incredibly lucky that I moved to a larger place right before the shelter-in-place order hit (from a loft to a condo with walls and doors!), but I know a lot of people who have been working on dining tables and sub-optimal improvised desks for the past seven months. If you live in a loft-style place with another person, the lack of personal space can really get to you.
