> Now a word of caution: beware of debt. Many of us are taught that owing money is normal, even desirable; indeed, for middle-class folks, some forms of indebtedness may be difficult to avoid.

I find that surprising. Perhaps this is the difference between growing up in a middle-class household vs. a working-class household, but personally I have seen first hand why debt is bad and been taught to avoid credit cards and debt like the plague.

Perhaps this does not fit the middle-class lifestyle and now that I am personally earning far more than my parents ever did I wonder if I should be less averse to debt, can anyone chime in with what the right balance is here?
He’s a fraud when taken as some sort of tech genius. I am in no way disregarding he is a skilled logistical and political tactician. It was just really hard to watch him act as such when in conversation with a man who is a skilled engineer.

Also I agree the hate is overblown but I also don’t think Elon is the worlds savior so I tend to push back against that rhetoric.

>> The other model is where some commercial entity wants to distribute software to their users. In that case, they'd be happy to pay for their users to anonymously download it.

This has hit us big-time last week -- all our k8s components are hosted on DockerHub and our firm is happy to do publisher-paid pulls, but it seems to not be an option. Instead, every customer is expected to get a paid account (if they pass some download threshold, which they may or may not.)

What are others doing? We're thinking of moving to Azure Container Registry or Amazon Elastic Container Registry. We're happy to pay just to ensure customers are not randomly throttled, though I wish we could just keep it all in DockerHub (we'd be fine paying DockerHub for customer usage, but we cant force customers to do so themselves.)
> Therefore, privacy-preserving products will always lag behind their less private counterparts in productivity gains afforded to their users.

“Always” is a very absolute word. Isn’t it absurd that you (presumably, based on this conclusion) have to sell your privacy in order to be sufficiently productive (perhaps to stay gainfully employed) only so that your now-lost privacy can be used against you to sell you more stuff? Are there not political ways out of this quagmire? Or are we as technologists only supposed to apply our stereotypical tunnel-vision towards narrow problems like how to google more productively?

Automatic declassification is largely governed by executive order in the US. This stems from the fact that the president has more or less unilateral constitutional authority to determine what's classified and what isn't.

Well, what if they are? There's no law/reason integrated graphics can't be, especially with significant pipeline changes and faster/nocopy access to memory...
This is a common pattern how to break pricing mechanism and prevent competition - separate choosers of the service from payers of the service. In this case free hosting is offered to publishers, they choose to host their images there and then users who download them are asked to pay. Had publishers been asked to pay, they would select appropriate registry and perhaps self-host one rather than to use third-party one.

It is the second and it is a good thing one is for availability and the second is for making desired products and implies at least novelty to keep the willing to pay high.

Just focusing on quality pure would result in a comically overluxury white elephant of a product as optimizing it would result in more and more cost and overwroughtness.
Someone would have to support it 24x7 and we could never get the uptime of DockerHub/ACS/ECS. Since a Production k8s deployment could spin up an instance at any time of day, some type of 5-9 or at least 4-9 uptime is pretty important.
For anyone with a technical inclination, we knew this day would come eventually, thus Google did as well. But for the layman or casual user, one would assume the unlimited space would remain free forever. Companies really need to be upfront about the sustainability of their free options and the forecasting of when those things will change. Google had to have known that they couldn't sustain an unlimited free plan forever and should have stated such from the beginning.

I'm glad they're giving notice with more than 6 months before the change, but it still feels scummy.

I think it's the classic tech nerd mindset ("No wireless. Less space than a Nomad. Lame.").

I'm curious why one would suggest using this over the built-in ThreadPoolExecutor class?

Here's a complete, similar example from the Python docs: https://docs.python.org/3/library/concurrent.futures.html#th....

Granted that example is more lines of code than the README for this library. But the core of it is fairly straightforward:

rsps = []
with concurrent.futures.ThreadPoolExecutor(max_workers=N) as executor:
futures = [executor.submit(requests.get, url) for url in urls]
for future in concurrent.futures.as_completed(futures):
rsps.append(future.result)

In my GraphQL api I have a resolver called appConfig. That enables me to fetch the config I need for a screen in the same request as the data and to reuse any caching/offline/http logic the app already has. Zero added latency. No service can beat that, but then it‘s also just me editing postgres to change the config.
I guess Google thinks they have enough training data, and can this stop offering free storage. Or maybe they think it is sticky enough to start charging and not lose clients. Either way, I wish them luck.

I'll be interested to see the final count and compare on all states, but Trafalgar's issues are deeper than just deltas in my opinion. They had an arbitrary "shy trump voter" factor, which may be justifiable, but any "shy voter" effect is tautologically immeasurable (and thus just a guess on Trafalgar's part). They had weirdly consistent results where Trump was up by 3 points in lots of purple/blue states, which doesn't line up with the differences we saw in other polls and in the results (so far). I agree that the polling errors are significant in many of the mainstream models, even in the states that were called correctly. These deltas so far are worse than 2016, and should be looked into. But _if_ Trafalgar ends up with a lower delta over all 50 states when this is all finished, they still gave the wrong result in most of the key states that matter for the election. That's significant, because the polls are measuring 50 winner take all systems, and 538 told us 90% chance Biden win, while Trafalgar told us that Trump was favored in almost any state that was worth watching this year. That was wrong, and Trafalgar deserves criticism for it.
Job heterogeneity doesn't distinguish these situations nearly that much. The relevant comparison between academia and McDonald's is probably between regular employee and store manager/PhD Student and professor. In both cases promotion to the next level is plausible and happens regularly.

If we consider non-lawyers employed by a law firm, then we should do the same with a university, which would distinguish both from the drug gang/McDonald's type where the bottom run has more promotion opportunity. Of course, this isn't even really right about academia -- a large university employs lots of people at many levels and it's perfectly possible to be promoted from administrative assistant to a management role.

It is true that some professions, such as university faculty, law, and medicine, have specific credential requirements that limit advancement into those professions from other parts of the organizations that employ such professionals. But this is a way that academia etc is _different from_ a drug gang, not similar to it.
In real emergencies people tend to be solidaric and help each other out.
I have no idea, while I'm no expert in religion I'm positively ignorant about science. But I'll answer anyway.

1) There are a few precepts in the bible that are very much aligned with modern understanding of medicine, such as the law that forbids leaving human feces around (soldiers are to carry a spade among their tools, and to leave camp to defecate and then bury their feces). There are many rules that are aligned with ancient superstitions that may have been thought to be about health (think purity laws) and others that prescribe behaviors that can cause illness (incest). That said, the bible generally does not give safety or health as a reason for a prohibition. Rules are listed with no reason at all, or with an explanation of "purity" or "God will turn His back on you if you leave disgusting things like feces around, and then you'll lose the war". So if indeed these rules were created for health and safety, it's unclear to me if the authors knew that that was the reason or if they were just cargo-culting and guessing.

2) To contemporary devotees of Judaism, pretty much everything I wrote in the previous paragraph is blasphemous. Some would take a harder line than others, but among people who keep the rules strictly (ie not those who kinda-sorta keep the "spirit" of the rules), the attitude is that these things are not up for renegotiation based on new science because _they are not based on science at all_. The reason they do these things is that the literature tells them to, which essentially means that God says so. Why did God say so? For any number of reasons, but probably not because of health or safety. Regardless, getting into God's mind is an interesting academic exercise, and one that occupies a place in "softer" rabbinic literature, but not particularly relevant for the "hard" technical literature that is busy with understanding the rules.

tl;dr: there may be something to that, but many religious people would be offended by the idea that these laws are mere health recommendations.

Note: I wrote this off-the-cuff, if you're interested in sources leave a comment and I'll dig some up.

Your point of view is extremely US-centered. I would be shocked, for example, to hear an European to hold such a view.
He doesn't seem to provide anything in the way of justification or evidence, other than same hand-wavy statement about them having to spend US dollars.
It was just mentioned in passing, and they did not imply that the others did not. It’s just the answer to an obvious question about these devices: “Does it support Thunderbolt?” “Yes, it’s integrated into the M1”.

You are reading too much into this.
Yeah, but I think the problem is that you get a lot of "scientists" who are only optimizing to game the system and maximize the publication count. It leads to most of the published work following very safe and boring research directions that everybody else is already working on. There is less scientific progress as a result. Contributing something that is useful and novel is often not rewarded. Risking yourself exploring a new branch of your field is very dangerous for your career. In my own biased opinion, about 90-95% of published papers are contributing nothing new to the field.
There's also the simple fact that marriage usually improves upward economic mobility and even outright creates wealth in some cases:

* If you're both employed, the higher earner could potentially be pulled down into a lower tax bracket

* If at least one spouse is salaried, the employer's insurance can often be shared at a reduced cost

* If both are salaried, the market of insurance policies you have to choose from essentially doubles

* If you're renting, you can essentially halve the cost of living (assuming dual income of some kind)

* If you're looking for a car or home, you can usually qualify for better loans (assuming neither spouse is a credit disaster)
Also, international couples.

Marriage doesn't always let you live in your spouse's country (some countries have income thresholds, which must suck when both spouses have countries that won't let the other in), but it significantly increases the chance of being allowed to live together for many people.
Al Gore didn't concede until Dec 13th when he lost against Bush. He used all legal options he had to dispute the election. How is what Trump is doing any different?

Also, I don't see how the president's behavior has anything to do with a nation uniformly shifting towards authoritarianism. The president is but one person in the government, and some would argue not even the most powerful. Re-orienting an entire country's alignment requires much more than a handful of idiotic tweets.

A Google Photos storage policy update I would love to read is some guarantee that I can download a backup of my photos if my Google account gets blocked for some reasons.
Reproducible build [0] is the modern solution to this problem, it generates the same binary output on everyone's computer by carefully controlling the compiler version and input data to the build system, thus allowing users to independently verify that an official binary is a faithful build from its source code. Although it's not a silver bullet (compiler bootstrapping is still vulnerable), but still greatly increases the level of confidence. Signal adopted reproducible build since 2016 [1].

Littered with exemptions, determined unilaterally by each federal agency.

Let's look at a few in the context of Crypto AG

> 25X1 – reveal the identity of a confidential human source, a human intelligence source, a relationship with an intelligence or security service of a foreign government or international organization, or a non-human intelligence source; or impair the effectiveness of an intelligence method currently in use, available for use, or under development;

> 25X3 – reveal information that would impair U.S. cryptologic systems or activities;

> 25X6 – reveal information including foreign government information, that would cause serious harm to relations between the U.S. and a foreign government, or to ongoing diplomatic activities of the U.S;

> 25X8 – reveal information that would seriously impair current national security emergency preparedness plans or reveal current vulnerabilities of systems, installations, or infrastructures relating to the national security;

This doesn't require a court or tribunal, it just requires the passing rationale of a random pencil pusher in any agency to stonewall the archivist and anyone else.
> This part had me scratching my head. Most established non-privacy-preserving products have been slowly killing interoperability because data lock-in provides a moat against users leaving and against potential competitors accessing valuable user data. There's no economic reason why privacy-preserving products should have worse interoperability than privacy-violating ones. Especially in product categories where interoperability does not imply sending PII to third parties.

I agree. I don't see a strong economic reason this would be the case. But there's a strong practical reason (which perhaps has economic consequences): loss of control. If you make it easy for your users to interface with other services which don't have the same privacy guarantees, you're increasing the risk of their privacy being violated. If you implement an interface that's so secure, that no leakage or abuse is possible, then you win. But if that's not possible, and you end up restricting things that would otherwise lead to cool, productivity features, then you've hit the trade-off I touch on in the essay.

I've been thinking about Privacy/Security vs Productivity recently, Mainly because there has been delay with the security updates from my Android manufacturer and switching to LineageOS would fix that but would risk loosing access to Gmail, chat apps and payment apps due to issues with SafetyNet.

I thought I would backup and restore my current device accounts to the android in the Chromebook but alas Google doesn't seem to be allowing the 'Data Transfer Tool' to be opened in the Chromebook (Although it installs).

My current plan is to restore the account in a LineageOS+MicroG+Magisk(to enable SafetyNet) setup. Although I have little hope of this setup being stable, bringing the conversation of Privacy vs Productivity.

Perhaps there is a need gap for backing up our current android device as VM image and running it via QEMU?
Data science, which I think makes this harder for me because a) things move so fast that you’re out of date within months and b) there is so much surface area of knowledge (math, stats, programming, visualization, ...) that impostor syndrome is an inevitability.
Honestly, at least in modern PHP, people just avoid using that level of dynamicness or explicitly annotate it where possible.

I will require changes in code reviews if PhpStorm cannot analyze usages in your code.
Some things like conditional types and string template literal types start to get way out into abstract type land that is certainly more advanced than C#'s type system. Typescript is inching closer and closer to the Haskell-ish land of turing complete type systems where the type system itself is nearly it's own meta-programming language with each version.

(A recent example was the "SQL engine" written using string template literal types to type safe "query" an in-memory database. That's quite more advanced than anything C# is capable of, albeit a strange hack and unlikely to be specifically something useful in production anytime soon, though still built out of things that make Typescript useful to some JS projects.)
The right balance is what let’s you sleep at night. But I have seen people more averse to debt limit their economic growth. If your goal is to get rich, you need to be comfortable with levering up, because your competition will be.

Also, some debt is politically more favorable than others. Debt to purchase land is more easily bailed out and less risky than buying options on margin.

It’s also easier if you have supportive friends/family/spouse with high income so that you can at least have the basics in the worst case scenario.
