No one in this thread has mentioned that YouTube recommendations have dramatically changed in 2017, from the heavy conspiracy/sensational/lies videos to something much more "toned down" and IMO rather annoying. It's driving everyone to the mainstream, or perhaps into the mainstream of two camps. At least before, flat earth did not fit into the mainstream of anything.
In my circles this gets me into arguments all the time. Everyone reads a book, everyone but me likes it. I point out how one section I know a lot about is deeply wrong, everyone else says versions of "well other than that part it's a great book!"

I wish LW-style rationalist circles didn't attract such obnoxious people, because I don't know of any other collection of people who recognize and try to adjust for things like this.

To provide some more color on why this isn't built in, different runtimes provide different kinds of guarantees and performance profiles. A webapp has very different requirements than an embedded system, and so we don't want to provide a single runtime. The language contains the basic things needed for the ecosystem to exist, and interoperation points, and then leaves the rest to said ecosystem.

(Some of those interoperation points are still being worked out, so it's not perfect yet.)
The first two paragraphs have a lot of guarantees. About stability of version 1.0, length of support for version 1.0 and how long until version 2.0 (at least). "We

I am sure it is hard to change internal FB momentum. Facebook prioritized user data access at all costs over the last decade. Apple is pressuring all app developers to be transparent with consumers and explain what user data is collected. Users can opt out. That is the crux of the issue for Facebook. They want users to continue sharing data and they don't want anyone grant users the option to opt-out. Excuse my rhetoric but that is weak argument for a feature that will benefit consumers.

It will not stop marketers from investing in FB ads. But, it does put the onus on FB to develop privacy centric advertising capabilities. That is a good thing.
Yeah, but recent trends seem to be toward more targeted approaches. Seems a bit odd to be studying non-targeted approaches if there are a lot of newer targeted approaches emerging and in research that wouldn't have the same side effects.
I ended up buying Jettison (https://stclairsoft.com/Jettison/) to handle auto ejecting on sleep and remounting on wake (in particular, I have a PCIe SSD in my Mac Pro which macOS considers an external drive, rightly so, but still).
I suppose that the BBC article title could be considered to be correct in a narrow sense. Cellebrite makes products that can, in some cases, unlock phones. Signal Messenger depends on the phone OS to protect the key used to encrypt the saved data. So in some cases Cellebrite does have the power to break the saved data encryption.

The Signal case is interesting because the app used to have a feature where you could protect the data with a separate strong passphrase. That would of prevented this particular attack. For reasons that are not clear to me, Signal eliminated this feature.
Being logged out and in incognito doesn't help.

There are plenty of situations where there are down rounds or rounds where earlier investors are completely wiped out or diluted out of existence. In these cases, the early employees get screwed big-time.

Even in the optimistic case of an exit, whether it be an acquisition or IPO, the risk incurred by the employees is way too high because of the lengthening of time towards the exit event. The lucky ones can get non-recourse loans and cash out with something to show for their efforts, but the overwhelming majority can't, and end up having to shell out real money for what are essentially rolls of the dice or losing that equity altogether.

It's interesting that if a person has vested stock with nominal value of $100 and exercise price of $5, he can't use that stock in lieu of the $5! i.e., he can't walk away with $95 worth of his grant. I wonder if there are IRS regulations that bar this type of arrangement.
Some of the sensors are reasonably useful for "perhaps you should see a doctor" or at least "explaining what the sensor saw when this happened to a doctor". The SpO2 sensor, which never worked on my Fitbit anyways, is particularly helpful to keep an eye on if you have COVID, as it so happens.

In my case, I found sometimes I'd start feeling really odd when I hadn't eaten much lately, and I discovered due to my Fitbit that my heart rate was spiking even while I was pretty much sedentary during those times. When my best description of the event prior was "feeling weird", having that info from my Fitbit is pretty nice if I want to explain to a doctor what's going on.

Is the sensor extremely precise on those figures? No. Is the general trend of being hooked up to them both during baseline living and during an unexpected medical event pretty useful? Absolutely.
There is no good at all here.

Same, I recently was on a deadline for a project and hit some issues with the tide/typescript tooling in my spacemacs and quickly switched over to VS Code with VSpaceCode [1]. I was actually pretty impressed with the setup and didn’t feel at all out of place. Having magit there was a welcome surprise. If there was an org-mode replacement I might even make the switch permanent, as much as I love spacemacs sometimes I just don’t want to fiddle with my configs so much.

So yes, thanks for making this, it saved me just the other week!

I'm not really sure the 2020 Calabasa crash is a relevant example. That helicopter had a radio altimeter, and it surely wasn't being jammed. And before hitting the ground, the helicopter was descending at 20 m/s. The last known intent of the pilot was to climb, not descend. Some witnesses on the ground report that the helicopter sounded like it was malfunctioning before the crash. I do not particularly credit eye witnesses, but their story seems to fit with the rapid descent of the helicopter more than an altimeter issue.

That's not at all what I'm saying. My point is that fitbit and similar wrist mounted consumer devices aren't currently useful for real health purposes.

I was responding to:

> Maybe, but since we don't have currently good way to use our health data for health purposes

My criticism is that the is NO WAY you could use this data, because the data is junk. I even pointed out that there are larger devices that do work. But there are real physical limitations in trying to measure heart rate through the wrist by bouncing light off of the veins. Measuring blood flow through tissue downstream from the heart is an indirect measurement at best. Skin, sweat, tissue composition, and motion all add confounding variable that are hard to correct for in software.

The data you do get from the device is do you regularly exercise while wearing the device or not.

Okay! Totally reminds me of my old pain points as a PM.

I’m biased with my workflow, since I built the tool, but my cofounder and I use Amna to manage our work. It’s not really collaborative (yet), but you can group the things you mention by task.

So for example, I might make a task called “product packaging”. I click on it. Amna gives a browser. It’s basically chrome, so you do your work normally. Open all the right tabs. E.g, open Gmail, research sellers. And once I’m done, I just leave the task.

All the threads and information are saved for next time.

To get back, it’s as easy clicking on a task again, and you get back in the flow really fast.

Though it doesn’t replace your Google Doc problem, it does reduce all that hopping around with. You don’t need to have a complex organization system, just do you work once in Amna, and you’ll know where it is!

You’re welcome to give it a try!

>I absolutely don't get those wide open questions like "How would you design 1-hour delivery?"

Quick tip: interviewers often design that kind of question to be intentionally vague. If you get a question like that, they probably want a bunch of questions before you start on an answer. Like, "which part of the process are we designing? The software stack, interfacing with logistics companies, customer service?"

It seems frustrating, but they're looking for people who will drill down and make sure they fully understand a task before they run off to solve it. Asking for clarification is usually a good thing in an interview, especially since the interviewers don't always think the problems through completely.

The lack of feedback seems like a liability thing. A very small number of people will sue because they don't like the reason they were given, so the company decides not to give detailed feedback.

Cellebrite isn’t meant for use with devices you own; it’s meant for use with devices seized by law enforcement. I’m not so sure that qualifies here.
By deriving revenue from order flow rather than a per-transaction fee, they’ve effectively made trading fees progressive. That is, a college student getting their wet buying a few shares of Apple pays less than someone moving around $100k‘s worth of equity from one index fund to another.

Don't do Wordpress, unless you know right now that there are a particular set of plugins that already provide all the utility you are looking for. If not, wordpress is huge, complicated mess to extend and it is PHP not Python.

On the other hand, I found Flask to be dead simple. The website will get you started. You certainly don't need a course or a tutor to get going.

Django, once you get the hang of how the scaffolding works, is also fairly easy to use. It did take me a weekend of google-ing and head scratching to figure it out though. The Django docs and community is not as easy to work with as flask.

On the surface of things, collecting data from the twitter api and displaying it with related data from a database is not overly complex (as long as you are looking at a reasonable number of tweets).

VERY important though, you absolutely cannot publicly redisplay a tweet yourself, even if you have collected the details of it from the api. You ABSOLUTLY must use one of the Twitter widgets to do so. Do anything else and you are just asking for your project to be shut down.

sometimes spotify recommends songs that are so bad it makes me wonder is it some sort of test to check if i am even paying attention :)

i get good results from discover weekly for the most part though. I used to spend a lot of hours on social music sites like thisismyjam and the like, where I would stumble across a gem every 1 in 50, but with spotify it feels more like every 1 in 20 or 30, so I'm happy with that and it's also less work not switching between multiple services

other people I know have nothing good to say about discover weekly so I dunno. maybe I just have low standards!
Imagine Apple blocking out Facebook like they did with Flash.

It's not factually incorrect. The adjudication guidelines are pretty clear, and, baring continual ongoing mis-use, under Guideline M under EO 10865 and it's implementation by DOD Directive 5220.6p [1], it is considered a mitigation if the misuse of systems was 'not recent' and 'not ongoing'.

Same with drug use. It explicitly says under Guideline H that if it was not recent, not ongoing, if you seeked treatment, etc. that it is a mitigation to the security concern raised by use of illicit drugs.

If your contacts were denied based on those reasons, they either didn't tell you the whole story (other, unmitigated risks that compounded the total risk of their position), or they had substantive grounds for an appeal of the decision. You can see the evidence yourself of the appeals process, as every appeal record is public, and the govt has no problem with former drug addicts, etc. getting clearances.

Author here! I don't think we are in disagreement, just mostly in different interpretations. You are talking about a car, with likely 200-300 embedded systems backed into it.

If the light sensor or the braking module goes into a completely unexpected state where it can no longer be communicated with, it has corruption, etc, you need to do something about it.

The solution isn't to reboot the car, it's to reboot the individual module and quickly get it back into working order. Rebooting the braking or lighting module should take on the order of milliseconds (if done correctly), and that is much, much better than having a piece of software in a corrupted state for seconds/minutes/hours.

In a car, there is a mothership board that is orchestrating everything, pinging every module, and ensuring everything is in working order. Just like a kubernetes setup, if any one piece fails to ping or looks off, just reboot it and get it working ASAP.

Normal guy, but he didn't have the papers to drive out of his district, and so he was flooring it down the highway with lights off. We had to bribe several guards at checkpoints, and at one point, we were commandeered by paramilitary who wanted to hitch a ride to a different destination. The driver eventually managed to give them the boot, after much heated argument. We also had no common language with the driver, which added another layer to everything.

> And Google will destroy Fitbit. If you think Fitbit is as revolutionary as you say, than you should be supporting every possible way to prevent Google from adding it to their graveyard.

You could be right about this, but Apple absolutely was cleaning FitBit's clock and I think if they didn't make a big move they might have gone bankrupt. It's just so, so, so incredibly difficult to pack billions of pieces perfectly into a tiny device that people can wear all day on their wrists and make hundreds of millions of them. I hope it goes well with Goog. The world needs more of these.

> I had a Fitbit Ionic,

The Ionic was good, the Versa 2 a big step up (haven't gotten the new one yet but will soon).

I also have an Apple Watch SE. The Apple Watch is impressive, but for health I still prefer FitBit hands down. The sleep data is absolutely essential, and the ~1 day battery life in the Apple Watch pales next to the ~1 week in FitBit. I guess I could get 2 apple watches, and swap them before bedtime, but rather just wear the fitbit. I don't care about having the web on my wrist or videos, I just want health stuff.

> "They are literally putting a doctor on everyone's wrist"

It's all about the trends. At first remember, ~10 years ago, it was just step counting (and lousy at that). Now there are what, 15 - 20 sensors in that thing? Heart rate, blood oxygen, temperature, motion, etc.

Apple is doing amazing things here too. Garmin as well. And FitBit. They all are doing heroic work here. It's changing healthcare, and we're not even at the 1% level yet. I've spent a few years in medical research, this is the future of medical research.
Without judging the validity of the poly itself (I concur, it's garbage), it's also not the sole basis of any decision, and the actual people doing the investigation build a case to show that you have lied about something, because you an appeal their decisions to a judge. It's not just 'meh, the line wiggled so no clearance for you'.
Doesn't seem like a corollary. The corollary would require ordinary evidence, and you're saying you're happy to not have any.
