I'm saddened to see others in exactly the same camp as myself having also written about this the other week (https://joshcollie.com/articles/zucked/). Fortunatetly I have an Oculus Rift S and can maintain usage with my Oculus account. As far as I'm aware it will still be in a usable state come 2023, albeit with no social features.

As much as the Oculus hardware is fairly good I would highly recommend seeking alternative providers of VR hardware.

"There has been a data leak somewhere in FAANG and I can tell you with certainty billions of dollars are being made off our work and there are multi-millionaires literally laughing at us."
Your example is not compatible with your claim. You're just referring to conspicuous consumption, and how affluent individuals enjoy signaling their wealth and status by flashing their disposable income in status-seeking expenditures. The percentage of wealth that trickles back is irrelevant and only a trace amount, because their point is to signal status by consuming luxury goods and services that others can't afford.

I got the reMarkable 2 also, and I love it. There is one aspect of paper it does not really replicate well, though, and that is the ability to spread half a dozen sheets of paper in front of you for quick reference while you're working on your notes. Swiping between pages is too disruptive, not to mention jumping back and forth between notebooks.
A cold email is like a cold call. Among other things, they don't foster trust and the shared experience of acknowledging challenging problems. When a CxO has a problem, they're more likely to reach out to their own networks than they are to reach for unsolicited email in their inboxes.

Is there a specific "senior citizen" version of iPhone you have to request? Or is it as simple as toggling and password-protecting a "senior citizen/parental" mode somewhere in the settings? Or maybe the parental mode comes enabled by default, with restrictions chosen by Apple, and you can disable it by entering a password that came with your phone, or perhaps a password you have to separately request from Apple, once you've proven ownership of your phone (easiest at time of purchase)?

Or is it none of those things, and Apple fights hard against users having any control whatsoever over their devices?

Did Apple know better which apps their users in Hong Kong should be allowed to run? https://www.cnbc.com/2019/10/10/apple-removes-police-trackin...

What does it tell you about Apple, when it insists on remaining the absolute arbiter of what their users may run, even after it was forced to use that power to betray its users to authoritarian governments? That these are the kind of practices, the kind of company, that you should be promoting?
Because a representative democracy privileges the voice of the many over the voices of the few. For example in the current contest if it plays out as expected the likely winner will defeat the loser by 4 million votes and your methodology would hand the 4 million vote loser the win. Indeed this would become the norm
It's a difficult challenge. Secrets detection is probabilistic, without checking the credentials it's nearly impossible to determine, with 100% accuracy, a true vs a false positive. But it has made big improvements. What detection solutions have you been using?
I don't understand what you're asking, can you elaborate?

Edit: I guess you're asking about 'ESR' and 'RMS.' ESR = Eric Raymond, an early proponent of open source as a communal development model ( http://www.catb.org/~esr/open-source.html ). RMS is Richard Stallman, the originator of the GNU project on which the Linux kernel is based, as well as the GPL. RMS disagrees with ESR, in that he argues that the term "open source" is a distraction from the larger goal of free software ( https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/open-source-misses-the-point....) .

There have been plenty of other authors with strong opinions on the subject but these are the two whose names most often come up in the context. Point being, it is unreasonable to say that "open source" is a term of art (as the GP did) whose meaning will be agreed upon by practitioners and advocates everywhere.
Any other app doesn't have builtin plausible deniability...

Also, that's just not true, a general programming language gives you a lot more attack surface, surfaces that are not testable with Apple's suite of verification tools.
Of course, licence clauses won't physically stop someone who is fine with wilful infringement. But they're not intended to. They're intended to restrict the behaviour of people who, by and large, respect the law.

It's practically unthinkable that a company like Apple/Amazon/etc is going to create an expensive, complicated international legal structure to conceal wilful infringement of some open source licence.

It's perfectly achievable to write a licence that forbids use or incorporation in products, servers or services from particular companies.
Woe is me

5. Use https://commonsclause.com or another commercial use restriction with an open source license.

I'm sure there are reasons. It's just that Facebook's reasons might not sound reasonable to everyone else, and it could be as simple as a login from an IP associated with fraudulent behaviour caused by someone else at the same ISP. Carrier-grade NAT is funny that way.
It depends on the project.

If your GPL project will be so tightly coupled with the company's project that their entire project will become GPL - then yes. Big libraries like Qt, for example.

On the other hand, if the coupling to the user's project is loose and doesn't make their entire project GPL, they have no reason to pay for a license. For example, compiling with gcc or hosting with nginx, or calling ffmpeg doesn't make your entire product GPL.
Is there an Android version?
Governments don't try very hard. It's in their best interest that this fraud-adjacent activity keeps going on, or at least that's the only reasonable explanation for why they keep cooperating so well with it.

> Want to win a deadlift competition? Sure.

Deadlifts seem to be an extremely functional form of lifting movement to practice. I can see bicep curls being mocked for not providing any general benefits, or static planks not doing much except make you better at performing the static plank.

But the techniques you learn from and the muscles you strengthen doing deadlifts are the same you use when you lift a heavy box off the floor.
> In the US the top 1% pay more in income tax than the bottom 90% combined.

Are you referring to percentage regarding revenue/income?
I agree. I guess what's missing is some coordination mechanism for the "contact the author and get a commercial license" part. If it's one author it's easy, but if it's eighty, it's hard to contact each even if they would all be willing to provide such a license.

That's not a problem of open source itself, of course.
> but in the USA the problem of illegal immigration has reached such scales that a large part of the left basically advocates for giving up on border enforcement of any kind

I'm not even an American, I only have a massive dislike against borders that let money and goods flow unimpeded, but not people. The economy, the government, the system should serve the people - not the other way around.

Besides: the official immigration rules of the US are screwed up beyond any reasonable hope for repair (and remember, the original idea behind US immigration policy as to take in everyone as inscribed on the Statue of Liberty!). If one cannot repair or replace a broken system, it is wise to work around it instead of keeping up bullshit - and yes, giving up on enforcement is one such strategy.
But then again there is a mechanism already, just not cryptographic, and that is police having to physically seize your device. I guess we don't need to work on this. There's nothing special about an E2E communication device compared to other things you may have in your home.
This is incorrect. The fourth amendment gives people the absolute right against "unreasonable search and seizure". This means the police may be granted access to search someone's property by a judge, if they are suspected of a crime. It does not give the government the right to find anything, only to search. Furthermore, the fifth amendment grants people the absolute right to not incriminate themselves. So if you know something (information about where the bodies are buried, passwords for decryption of encryption keys, etc.), you have the absolute right to not divulge that knowledge. So the people here have more rights than the government when a crime is being investigated.
I have also created a Facebook account to use their NLP service, Wit.ai. The Facebook account has received an automated block, and they've kept it blocked after a manual review which has asked for a photo of my face.

Now they have a photo of my face, my legal name and date of birth, my verified email address and phone number, and I cannot exercise any control over this data, only download it, which is obviously illegal under GDPR.

Facebook engineers from Wit.ai are ignoring my request for help and the app APIs remain operational, I just can't log into the dashboard.

If you're a developer who considers using Wit.ai, be careful. You could receive an automated block from Facebook and an overworked contractor will rubber-stamp the bot's decision, while Wit.ai staff will ignore you.

That system simply isn't possible, or at least there are no candidates for such a mechanism at this time.
I think a state ought to be free to vote its way out of the union along with out of any favorable trade agreement, mutual defense, educational opportunities for its citizens, freedom of immigration to the united states etc. It would immediately become poor and vulnerable but that is its citizens choice.

Canned tomatoes are really interesting. They are a different variety of tomatoes (Roma tomatoes) that can be picked via machine. That's also why they taste differently. The automated picking is why they are cheaper (plus the variety is better for quantity). One wouldn't be able to sell the automatically picked tomatoes uncanned since their skin gets damaged.

Yep. This is also why e.g. Portugal has decided to give all persons in the country, no matter immigration or other status, the right to free-of-charge coronavirus tests and treatments without threats of deportation or whatever - simply because the risk and follow-up costs of illegalized persons spreading around coronavirus are higher than any potential benefit.

To add ot that, the "simple" numbering scheme is usually denoted by e.g. "9/8" - Building 9, Flat 8, (which depending on the building layout might be 9 3f2 or 9 2f4). Infuriatingly, many postcode systems will autofill the "9/8" format into an immutable address field, and then reject the address with a forward slash in it...

> Is that really true any more? The supply chains are incredibly fast now and I can't imagine there's enough time for this process to take place - even tomatoes from southern Spain are probably on shelves in a few days.

It is, even within relatively close main EU nations we had significant losses (~30% of gross weight) between organic/Biodynaimc suppliers from Italy to Germany where I did my first year of apprenticeship. My first job was to sort through the waste pumpkins and potatoes that arrived on a daily basis for 2 weeks in September in large crates for storage and distribution to the farm's stores/CSA/Farmers Market outlets.

It's funny because that farms soil was so rich that the seeds scattered around from wasted pumpkins in the compost pile were vining well into December. I found a few decent sized pumpkins (albeit green) when we had to turn the compost pile later in the Winter.

But suffice it to say, it's insane how much food gets lost due to transport!

> An increasing number of tomato imports are coming from the mega greenhouses where they are harvested red and can be packed on site.

Perhaps to hyper-local Markets that's the case, but having spent time in Supply Chain for large Auto-manufactures batch shipping is still the norm for such low-margin commodities and delays have only compounded further since COVID. Also, Holland is (or until recently as COVID may have changed that) the largest exporter of it's Green-house produce and biggest importer of Organic and Biodynamic produce in the EU. In short, for many in NL: they're not consuming their own supply.

> I've been trying for a few years. It's been fun and the varieties are way more interesting, but I'm not in danger of flooding the market.

I'm ashamed to say I haven't had a proper tomato this year, and this is coming from a former farmer and chef.
> Weight lifting is generally about isolating the muscles

Bodybuilding often involves a high degree of isolation exercises for fatigue management and for building specific muscles. But good luck deadlifting, squatting, pressing, snatching or clean&jerking etc without "integrating" muscles, or without good balance.

Although I agree with you, it turns out which banks and similar facilities you use can greatly affect the amount of credit you have access to, how you can use it, and how long the process takes.

During this pandemic I've found that to be a big deal, much more important than whatever technology or access method is offered.
In the Netherlands we grow a lot of bell peppers on 'water'. Those sweet pepers are much larger than the ones grown on soal. But the only difference is the taste and the thickness of the skin. They might even be a little more healthy because they were grown in a lab like controlled environment.

Imho the taste is a big trade-off, but growing them on water takes way less space and also makes a failed harvest less likely.
> The flavors were sublime with tomatoes rich in umami intermingling with spicy olive oil and savory farmer's cheese.

And then you can dip bite-sized chunks of fresh bread, one by one, in the mixture of the olive oil and the vegetable/cheese juices; the sensation is more-or-less indescribable. The price of Greek salad used to be low (compared to main dishes) in restaurants some decades ago, but after noticing that lots of tourists just ate a salad plus the provided bread, the tourist industry raised the price.
End to End Encryption and Law Enforcement
I've been thinking about this problem for a while now. Personally I use restic[1] and B2 with a dedicated API key that can't delete anything.

[1]: Patched slightly to make it work, https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/2398 (hope this will get merged eventually)

How one goes about not accumulating backups forever is a problem with this setup. My basic plan is manually switching to another bucket and verifying the newly backed-up data before deleting the old bucket.

You can also enable a time-based deprecation of hidden files on B2 then you don't have to actively do anything, but in theory if the malware bides its time it could still delete/overwrite everything without you noticing.

If you want to self-host the restic/rest-server also has a --append-only flag that would have a similar effect, but if you use that you'll have to make sure the malware can't hop onto your backup machine via ssh.
Spent a little too long playing with all the settings there. Very cool and buttery smooth.
Wise words. What I meant to say was - I constantly stumble and fall in such settings.

Even so it is also the type of setting where you can work completely sheltered from the real world, on problems you find interesting, without worry.

If you can separate “care for” from “interesting” and find a decent middle manager - tao can seem close by.
Perhaps. Feeling is different to being, however. If the latest abuses of secondary legislation in the name of coronavirus and our government’s general disregard for the law doesn’t scare the sovereign types, I’m not sure what will
I once saved a non-technical person from installing a fake banking app on their Android phone and losing all the savings they had. If I wasn't there, our whole family would probably be in financial trouble. Being able to do whatever you want with your own device is great if you're tech savvy. Most people will either not use that power at all, or use it to do something they didn't actually intend to do.

A good compromise here would be an ability to enable developer mode, perhaps with some quiz or test that checks if you have the right skills to handle such a responsibility.

Your state doesn't start counting mail in ballots until a week after election. Given the logistical challenge you ought to be simply mailing out ballots sooner and counting them as they come in. Every other state avoids duplication between mail and in person voting without waiting a week between polls and ballots.

It's very difficult, but important thing, to express abstract things in a correct, yet still understandable way, so "kudos" for trying :)

You make a good point, however:

1) > And that designing an entire language around this idea to ensure "safety", especially without it being "proven" in a smaller language, is/was very risky and dodgy

It's not exactly true that ownership models weren't "proven" in different languages. Objective-C comes from the top of my head; the main memory management technique there was reference counting (with the memory pool/manual management fallback). And yes, the non-linearity of some structures was a pain in the ass, one had to be careful to not create a "strong reference loop", but... in the end it worked quite well :) The difference is that in Obj-C one had to do it manually/in runtime, Rust checks it automatically/during compilation.

2) quoting your article "Ownership semantics [...] cannot be used to express non-linear problems".

This is a very strong claim. What does it mean for the problem to be non-linear? I would say, that linearity (in programming) may be ascribed to a model of the problem, not the problem itself, i.e. Traveling Salesman Problem is a problem involving a non-linear structure and still the best known solvers (e.g. Concorde) use linear models to solve it.

It is true that ownership semantics has to be bypassed in the non-linear model, but the question stays whether the given problem really requires one.
Reading the article, I ask myself how it looks in Germany. We rotate the soil usage, letting it "rest" for a season. I'm definitely sure that the Vegetables and Fruits now are much better/healthier than in the communist period (GDR).
