I’ve done this a few months ago on a 6TB drive.

You remove the cover, unscrew the platter, use sticky tape on the sides of the platters to remove them and place them in the donor drive...

With an identical drive you don’t even need to worry about anything else the data will be there as nothing has happened.

The “new” drive just worked it still does...

Unless the plates are completely shattered you can recover the data.

And I can guarantee you that the FBI has a data recovery lab that is much better than what I can do at home.

Gamestop isn't something Economic theory really covers. They don't tend to pay much attention to the implementation details of the underlying market apparatus, so the various dynamics that occur around shorting shares, price pressure when the position is closed, naked shorting, etc. aren't something they think a whole lot about.

Keynes was ok for his time on the banking system, and made a fortune on foreign currency trading, but HFT etc. was a bit before his time.
lol these chips are all going to have unmaintained ancient kernel versions full of bugs in 5 years. no one has any plans to support these cars for more than half a decade. android is an unmaintable pox: they let vendors do what they will with ancient kernels, & there's not an incentive in the world to upgrade to more recent kernel. obsolete software being handed to car makers to make yet more obsolete systems that no one can or will ever maintain. it's not just the corner garage that can't maintain or work on these systems: the system itself is aging quickly & deprecating & no one can maintain it. not the chip maker, not google/android, not the car makers. it's all unmaintainable in extreme. that's what you get when you branch off mainline. that's what you get when you don't go upstream.
This is an idea I had since sometime and the first attempt was thrown away due due lack of focus on the goal, this is the second take where it was driven by the whole pandemic situation.

It was fun to build, may not worth nothing besides that it was built and published, which was the main goal.

All feedback is appreciated, if it get any traction I will work more on this as there are lots of room for improvement.

I don't know what you are objecting to i.e. Social Media surprisingly not knowing a lot about us - or - the need only for relatively small amount of solid demo data.

On the first point - they just don't know that much about us. That's what the whole post is about (!) They were lying advertisers ad to the probabilistic estimates of who we are.

Go here: https://adssettings.google.com/authenticated?hl=en

Google will show what they know about you if you have that on. It's not very accurate at all. It's very fuzzy. For me they have wrong age, a lot of wrong interests.

So they surprisingly don't know a lot, just because someone clicks on an add ... that is not a lot of information - there's so many reasons we click on ads. Google thinks I'm into cars and I don't even drive, I hate cars!

As for basic targeting - it's mostly what advertisers need. So age, education, income, zip code (or zip code classification), rough location would be great. Plus just a few, solid interests (real ones, not estimated) - and that would be a big step forward for ads.

So yes - our privacy is fairly aggressively invaded at the same time they can only glean so much from it. Seems like a Paradox.

I'm not sure I would consider the implementation of the methods in today's fields of science to be "without tipping into anarchy", but credit is certainly due to the platonic ideal of the scientific methods themselves.

Science is a very carefully defined field that includes little or no controls on the behavior of its members, as long as the behaviors that are controlled appear to be adhered to. We've ended up with Retraction Watch, collusion between journal editors and paper publishers, and endemic #metoo issues throughout the field. I would never voluntarily enter a science field that depends on publishing papers for advancement today, because by definition these concerns are excluded from our current answers to 'what is required to science?'.

As to the scientific methods they often practice in service of those fields, yes, and it's admirable how well those have persisted. We also have a massive reproducibility crisis across all human psych and social fields, so while the theoretical methods do earn credit for not being "anarchy", their implementations clearly aren't being held to the standards that we're praising here today.

> they can't possibly augment your life in a meaningful way

Claims like this one seriously undermine the (worthwhile) privacy movement. Convenience and entertainment _are_ worthwhile uses of technology. Those of us with an understanding of privacy and surveillance technology might well make the judgement that certain forms of convenience and entertainment are not justified by the intrusion that they present - but to claim that there is _zero_ benefit to those technologies just makes you look out-of-touch or cranky to the very people who would benefit from more awareness.

Would I give up all my credit card details in order to have a marginally better music playback experience? No. Would I tell a company my birthday if they paid me $1,000,000 for it? Yes. There is a continuum of "privacy/payback evaluation", and different people lie at different points along it.
Here is an article that goes into a lot of historical context and explains what is happening. It's a bit long but does a good job of explaining all the nuances, so it's worth reading to the end.

Modern browsers do fail on ACID tests anyway. display:flex broke old box model.

> one can share the millions of frameworks ...

For your *desktop* application you need just one, not millions of them.

> libraries and muscle memory

Not a problem, here I am using Remarkable [1] as it is: https://github.com/c-smile/sciter-js-sdk/tree/main/samples/m..., in other places I may use LeafletJS for showing maps, etc. Essentially all libraries for JS/NodeJS should work out of box.

Problem is that desktop UI has different UI model from a web page.
Web page / Web app is usually "endless paper tape" opened full screen - has defined width but no height - no need for vertical alignment for example.

And desktop UI is usually different - small or vertically and horizontally space limited windows, etc.

In Sciter you can show element as popup one - in separate window that can be rendered outside of your [small] app window, consider this popup: https://sciter.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/select-table.p... , good luck with recreating this in browser. By the way that <select> element is defined as:

<select>
<tr role=option value="1">
<td>Option 1</td>
<td>*Short*</td>
<td>123456</td>
</tr>
<tr role=option value="2">
<td>Option 2</td>
<td>******* LOONG ********</td>
<td>123456</td>
</tr>
<tr role=option value="3">
<td>Option 3</td>
<td>*Short*</td>
<td>123456</td>
</tr>
</select>

Sciter supports arbitrary markup in selects, popups, etc. No one of "millions of frameworks" will help you with that.

Also this

<frameset cols="200px,*">
<section>A</section>
<section>B</section>
</frameset>

will give you split-view out-of-the-box. But web dev's will start looking for frameworks in order to achieve this simple component that browser have internally.

TL;DR: Web and desktop UIs use inherently different models. You can share parts between these two different platforms but only parts, really.

I'm confused. Isn't that just C? There's no errors in C, or exceptions. The only exceptions are interrupts/signals, but those aren't part of the language, but the machine or OS.
This topic is often a red herring and source of conflation. I strongly recommend this series of articles from a psychiatrist about it: https://slatestarcodex.com/2015/04/05/chemical-imbalance/, https://slatestarcodex.com/2015/04/18/polemical-imbalance/
We check in with a govt app and QR codes in NSW and all of Australia does this and venues confirm before letting you in. It's integrated into the Service NSW app so I don't need a separate one.

It's so vague it's hard to draw any conclusion without specifics.

"Exfiltration of confidential business-sensitive documents" could be nefariously downloading proprietary research for personal gain... or innocently downloading a Slides presentation to your personal phone as a PDF in preparation for a client meeting in case it's impossible to connect to their Wi-Fi. Or saving e-mail communications with your manager in case you need them for personal legal defense purposes.

Companies can be amazing at twisting innocent actions into horrible-sounding policy violations when they want.

I'm not saying this is the case, I'm just saying we don't have enough information to jump to a conclusion.

I find this article incredibly frustrating, and likely written by a person who hasn't run any org, much less a large one -- I believe they said they were called in as a senior IC into calibration, if I understood correctly

Calibrations are typically not a race to the bottom with every manager trying to bring down their own (or others') people. In fact, the game theory / incentive structure promotes inflation, which is precisely why we need constructive feedback / negatives from peers and upward

0] Managers generally like their people and want to see them succeed
1] If you're cynical enough to believe that 0 isn't true, fine (though I'm sorry for your struggle)... Managers look good when their people look good & are promoted.
2] Managers don't want to bring other people's managers down because it prevents retaliation (see 0 and 1)
3] This leads to grade inflation
4] The curve exists to avoid this
5] Peer feedback exists to open discussions on patterns, not on individual occurrences. If enough people notice X or variations of X, X is probably true
6] Not sharing X means that the person most likely will never get the feedback and never improve (rarely do people care enough to have the uncomfortable convo F2F)
Unfortunately in actual practise I've encountered significant cargo culting about DDD. Attracts a lot of people with mid level experience who suddenly want to dictate architecture based on theoretical ideals rather than practicalities.

There's no substitute for experience, and specifics of adapting architecture to the context of the problem you're trying to solve.

In one case I wanted to use a technology that actually matches DDD very significantly - but the cargo cultish closedmindedness of the practitioners meant they couldn't even understand how an old idea/tech they hadn't liked or approved was, was actually an implementation of DDD.

The problem there is not DDD, the problem is the people who get closed minded and stuck to their one true way (often without really broad experience to make that judgement call effectively). I've learned that pattern of language of absolutes such as 'should be, mandatory, all' do XXX is often a sign of that kind of cargo cultish thinking.
On friday PM. Classy.
PG is comfortably worth a billion. He obviously isn't that concerned with how much material comfort that could buy. But based on his essays and twitter, is more concerned with world issues, as many of us on HN are.

Out of everything PG has done, I think it's clear that YC and, more underrated, HN have by far had the most impact on the world:
Airbnb, Reddit, Stripe, Instacart, DoorDash... Any one of these alone has made huge ripples in millions of lives.
How about how HN is the cultural zeitgeist of many startup and tech employees in the tech capital of the world? How many existing and upcoming founders have been impacted by the discussions here? How many employees of Facebook, Google, Amazon, Apple, Microsoft have been influenced in one way or another?

YC and HN are having a major impact on the world. I think it's clear that there's still a lot to do to ensure it's steered in the greatest possible scale and positive direction. Who knows what kind of societal benefits could be unlocked and disasters averted?

And this is a position that PG has the unique clout, knowledge, and funds to tackle. Peter Thiel is clearly using his clout, knowledge, and funds, to the best of his ability, to form the world in what he perceives to be the most positive direction. Why not PG?
>so what exactly is "ownership"?

Really? Ignoring the philosophic debate, ownership in terms of BTC deals with the capacity to modify the ledger using an agreed-upon protocol -- but you already know this, and I don't know why you're asking that question. What do _you_ think ownership means in terms of BTC? Do you think you can implement a public system for ownership of digital assets without a distributed consensus system? Or Verifiable transactions? Maybe you can, and if you do I'd love to see it. Good Luck.

>So... who owns it?

The person who has the key.

You can add client side decorations to the list. It feels wrong because it is.
The real solution is if your company isn't really completely ethical, don't hire ethics researchers. Can the whole division. Simple business choice.
I think the one thing both sides can agree on is that there should be whistleblower protections enshrined in law for people reporting ethics breaches. (I'm not going to try and suggest how it should be implemented, that's legitimately difficult)

Great, got literally anything which is making a testable prediction to advance physics? No? Then come back when you do.

Physics isn't advancing because everything is degenerate to the standard model - any bold new idea still fails to predict an accessible experimental regime which would rule out alternatives.
I stopped using Chrome a while ago precisely because I was bothered with this "feature".

In a more general way, I don't think that a company should be allowed to own such a large part of the internet (Android + Google + Youtube + Gmail + Maps + Chrome etc.) that is waaay too much.

I don't understand why people seem so confused about the notion of employment.

If a company hires a security researcher, and that security researcher finds that the company is not listening to their advice, is it their responsibility to publicly expose the security flaws of the company?

What if you hire a plumber, and the plumber doesn't find that you're taking his advice regarding your toilet. Is it the plumbers responsibility to publicly comment on that?
> As well as searching for signs of life, Perseverance's other key objective is to select and package rock samples that can be brought back to Earth laboratories by later missions.

That seems like a strange thing to have as a top priority. I would have thought the main thing was to examine the rocks there without having to bring them back to Earth. And later on, if you have a return-trip mission, you could probably just grab some convenient rocks then (though I suppose Perseverance will have a lot time to pick out only the best, most interesting rocks).

This also implies that a return-trip mission, if it happens, will be obligated to go to Perseverance's last location or else collecting the rocks was a waste. Which by then we might have more interesting places we'd rather land.

Are there any unmanned Earth-to-Mars-to-Earth missions planned, or is the current thinking that we'll be sending people there on the first return-trip mission?
By way of the Shortcuts app, every iPhone has a pre-installed Pinboard integration. I’ve taken to just using that to make new bookmarks, because you can make shortcuts that accept URLs from the share menu as inputs.

NYC has three large airports, and a subway system that connects directly to exactly none of them. The fact that one can fly into LGA on a regional jet to take an international flight out of JFK...but have to take a bus through Queens with one's luggage to get from one airport to the other never ceases to amaze and infuriate me.
It's a good browser that's for sure. But the lack of google integration the way chrome does it kinda kills it for me. Might as well just use chrome.

I can't remember when we got lord of destruction but yeah at some point. It basically completed the game. Blizzard's early expansion packs were definitely worth it. Tides of darkness, broodwar, lord of destruction were some of the finest examples of what an expansion pack should do.

Blizzard used to make some quality games. Both the blizzard north and blizzard teams.

This is just my, possibly unpopular and also likely cliché opinion. But I blame world of Warcraft and Activision. WoW gave them ridiculous amounts of money and Activision gave them Uhhhh...'corporate refinement' that combination led to them becoming much like most other big name game companies. Money over fun. It's sad...but it is what it is.

Again, that's just my opinion, i'm sure lots of people have enjoyed post Warcraft 3 blizzard games, but for me, that was their last one where gameplay came before profit.

Citation needed about the SSRI part, because one typical side effect of SSRIs is unusually vivid dreams.
It’s pretty cool we can just take Google at it’s word after a 5 week investigation with literally no details coming out.

Google also decided to drop this bombshell on a Friday the same day they are announcing a rebranded ethics team. It’s clear they wanted to bury this story and the leaders of the old team.

I for one don’t plan to in any way give Google the benefit of the doubt here...
You figure the whole department should quit?
