Last.fm allows you to track your whole listening history (and you can export it or play with their API). I agree it could be interesting to infer something valuable from what a person likes (musically), but I don't know if there's much to read between the lines other than "if user likes artist X probably will like artist Y". You may infer my location (from local artists listened), and from that paired with timestamps you could tell some of my habits (work, school, commuting). Personal taste can hint an age group and gender as well, but it wouldn't be precise at all. Perhaps mood? I don't see much value on that info, compared to what you can gather from navigation history, messages or other services.

It's very disappointing that Twitter has allowed this to go on for so long. The scam is so successful that it is now attached to pretty much every prominent tweet and drowns out actual replies.

All it really takes to solve this is better UI. This is costing some users money and making the experience worse for everyone. Sad that Twitter isn't willing to take this seriously.

Spotify still doesn’t support AirPlay 2 streaming in their iOS app, so playback is susceptible to networking blips as I walk around the house into dead spots or change APs. If they supported AirPlay 2, effectively the entire song would get prebuffered and playback would never skip or stutter—even when playing to multiple AirPlay destinations.

AirPlay 2 has been out for years.
"is" would be so much more descriptive in this case that one could argue the usage of "was" may be intentionally confusing, as to induce the reader to imagine either the surveillance ended or became legal.
From Mexico: We have a better system than the US when it comes to vote ballots and logistics, it's ironic that with all the resources they have, they are unable to do a better job than we do.

It's really encouraging that the people, despite the current situation, are going to vote no matter the time.

I think you're not wrong, but more cynicism is warranted.

As a baseline makes sense that it's going to be easier for people to vote in some places than in others. Money spent in the right places could mitigate that imbalance by making voting safe and convenient for everyone. The United States certainly has the resources to make that happen, but it doesn't. This isn't so much active voter suppression as selective passive voter discouragement.

Sure, but that doesn't refute the claim that not taking the necessary precautions leads to worse outcomes. What the Spain/UK cases suggest is that lack of lockdown policies aren't the only leading factors to the spread of the disease.

This is why I think the Canada case is interesting: yes the government tells travelers to quarantine under the risk of a million dollar fine, but go to a park now and 80% of people aren't wearing masks despite reports of people breaking quarantine. So clearly, a dissonance between policy and what's going on on the ground can have a non-negligible effect.
I don't get it. He contacted Oculus support, Oculus support asked if he had followed these 4 steps for reactivating his account, and then... what? At that point gave up and posted on Reddit to complain?

Yeah, this sucks. But mistaken account deactivations probably happen a lot - how to handle them is one of the FAQ questions on Oculus. It happened to me with my PlayStation 4 account too; someone in Germany mistakenly signed up using my email address somehow and in the resulting confusion I got locked out of my PlayStation games for a bit. It sucks but support will eventually fix it.

According to [1] and plenty of other studies of their kind, closure of voting locations have been a major problem since the Shelby decision gutted the voting rights acts. Summary:

> We found 1,688 polling place closures in places once covered by Section 5 of the Voting Rights Act. Of the 757 counties in our study, 298 (39 percent) reduced the number of polling places between 2012 and 2018. Because presidential elections tend to have higher turnout rates than midterms, we analyzed the data to determine whether the number of polling places varied to meet the different demands of each type of election. They did not. Most (69
percent) closures (–1,173) occurred after the 2014 midterm election.

> The Shelby decision paved the way for systematic statewide efforts to reduce the number of polling places in Texas (–750), Arizona (–320), and Georgia (–214). Quieter efforts to reduce the number of polling places without clear notice or justification spread throughout Louisiana (–126), Mississippi (–96), Alabama (–72), North Carolina (–29), and Alaska (–6).

Can't argue population growth in good faith when polling places are actively being shutdown in states with growing populations like Texas.

It does scale, however in the USA, the republican party directly benefits the less people vote, so in states where the republican party controls voting means, you'll see things like long lines, arbitrary voter ID requirements, etc. In the USA, voting is handled at a state level.

> Do we have evidence of what happened with coral reefs in earlier historical eras with much lower temperatures?

Some extinctions happened. In most of the other cases, the corals had much, much more time to adapt.

Imagine going 0 to 60 in a minute vs going 0 to 60 in a millisecond. One of those is going to crush you into a paste. We're halfway through that millisecond, watching things get pasted all around us, and trying to figure out if we can somehow stop this process.

Gradual warming and cooling, even to relatively extreme temperatures and CO2 levels by today's standards meant that corals had many, many generations to adjust. Today, not so much.

But why is that a good thing? You're just making an argument for an inner platform, but without any factual justification. Is sandboxing truly critical? (millions of graphical artists using Blender, Maya, etc don't care) Abstraction? Why is that important, the amount of work to get a 3D app to do something interesting in the browser is about 10X that of writing a qtpy app, and I don't see the value in any "abstraction".

webgl was a good idea and I dedicated years to trying to make interactive browser applications, and now I've concluded that if I want to make product in time, that works for decades, on all platforms, at speed, I will use systems like Qt for desktop apps, not browsers.
Most companies want all general internet traffic to go through the VPN so they can filter/record/do whatever to it. The sites that are split tunneled are usually trusted internal (in that they're owned by the company, or used for a known service like email) or known high bw but safe (like youtube)
What does trivially reducible mean?

A PRNG is inherently complex and winners of https://www.ioccc.org/ are a class of complexity you deem reducible. This competition involves building complexity and since there are winners it's feasible to claim that to win it is "hard". Since this straddles a form of art, placing a value judgement as easy vs hard seems invalid.

The reason I'm thinking about this is because I recognize that adding accidental complexity is far easier than removing it. In fact, I spend a significant amount of time "trivially reducing" such complexity.

FWIW, I'm not saying that. I'm saying that how justifiable a policy decision like quarantine is depends on how sensitive the decisionmaker is to a cost-benefit analysis.

Both the extent of social distancing mandates and the severity, spread rate and deadliness of viruses exist on fluctuating scales, and reasonable people can disagree on where the appropriate intersection of the two sits without having to accuse them of ignoring either science or economics.

The rest were mistakes, yes, but they make the case for an even higher majority to pass a law, not a lower one. They’re state issues, not federal issues. If you don’t like the distributed governing system of the US, that’s fine, but the system was designed for local majorities to be able to self-govern on internal affairs and, to that end, I would argue that those were successful pieces of legislation. Sure, their intentions were misguided, but the US system was not designed to deal with bad people and I would argue that no system in the world is well-able to deal with bad people.

From the article:

> Spiritual men sought to comfort those who were afraid of being eaten by the dragon (which included almost everyone, although many denied it in public) by promising another life after death, a life that would be free from the dragon-scourge. Other orators argued that the dragon has its place in the natural order and a moral right to be fed. They said that it was part of the very meaning of being human to end up in the dragon’s stomach. Others still maintained that the dragon was good for the human species because it kept the population size down. To what extent these arguments convinced the worried souls is not known. Most people tried to cope by not thinking about the grim end that awaited them.

Wikileaks is an institution as well, with a reputation attached to it, and (presumably) a bar one must clear for information to be declared worth publishing under their name.
Isn’t the issue that it isn’t every county, but that it is specific counties that are targeted to suppress specific voter demographics? For a clear cut example, look at Texas.

“Abbott in July acted to lengthen the early voting period and allow voters to deliver completed absentee ballots in person for longer than the normal period. But after large Democratic counties including Harris and Travis established several sites where voters could deliver their ballots, Abbott ordered Oct. 1 that they would be limited to one… Harris County — home to 2.4 million registered voters and spanning a greater distance than the state of Rhode Island — had designated a dozen before Abbott’s order forced them to close most sites.” [0]

> 3rd party web services easily discovering when I need an oil change, or what days I've been driving aggressively ... is the kind of hypothetical I would want laws actively preventing.

But why, if it would still require your consent? Not faux consent based on click through or economic pressure, but real consent in the way the GDPR is getting at.

> But at least manufacturers have national brands which could be hurt by selling or leaking massive amounts of data about their customers. Perhaps some brands could even make privacy a selling point.

This doesn't seem to be playing out for any other industry, even ones with much lower barriers to switching (eg cell phones, supermarkets, credit cards). Privacy just does not seem to be a market differentiator. Car purchase timeframe is on the order of a decade (especially for the type of people concerned with autonomy that don't lease). So you buy a car from a brand that isn't selling your data, and a few years later they turn around and sell your data anyway. Then do you grin and bear it, or sell your car at a loss and go back to the market just to get screwed again? Until there is a privacy law, self help to prevent anyone getting your data in the first place is the only real option here.

> But best I can tell, no other law covers it in MA. It is perfectly legal for 3rd parties to sell this and other data without my explicit consent or even an opportunity to opt out

Yes, this is the root of our society's privacy/surveillance problem. The CCPA is relatively recent, and even that has been neutered to appease entrenched interests.

Companies want to hold power over you by selling your data, and also by withholding your own data from you. Being hesitant to address the second problem because of unknown unknowns about the first problem seems like the path of self-defeat. I'd love to see another ballot initiative that addresses privacy by retaining control of our data, but this is orthogonal.
The history of voter suppression in certain states cannot be ignored. The argument you're presenting is misleading because the intent of the system is clearly to discourage specific groups of people from voting. There's a long history of voting machines not working (on purpose), inadequate staffing, restrictive laws, and all of this malfeasance curiously manifesting in neighborhoods with specific demographics. People are saying the pandemic and high voter turnout changes things but...

In Miami, another traditional Democratic stronghold, the wait was said to be nearly as long.

1. "Don't update system packages" is bad advice. There are base Docker images with out-of-date packages that need security updates. CentOS for example doesn't update their base image for months on end.

2. Given you do want system package updates, you need to deal with Docker caching breaking your security updates. So you need to rebuild your image from scratch, without caching, either every time there is a security update or on a weekly basis. https://pythonspeed.com/articles/docker-cache-insecure-image...

3. Not mentioned: don't use build secrets via ARG.

Some approaches to secure build secrets:

1. BuildKit supports them: https://docs.docker.com/develop/develop-images/build_enhance...

2. Via the network, which is a hack, but it works: https://pythonspeed.com/articles/docker-build-secrets/

3. Via multi-stage builds, but this destroys caching.
