I'm not particularly fond of Swedish House Mafia, but given their popularity another fun fact is that Axwell (one third of it) used to go under the name Quazar / Sanxion, and I think most people in the very thin slice of people who have listened to chiptune music have probably heard this gem:

Opposing the Chinese government and the CCP (who are committing genocide) is not being racist.
You can't just casually link that tweeter as if it were some media commenter. Ian Goodrum is one of the (thankfully relatively few) outright communist shill tankies on Twitter. I use those words carefully and self-aware that they are frequently misused on the internet: he is literally a shill for the Communist Party of China.

And it shows in this tweet, which is completely devoid of any sane and intellectually honest context.

Do you regularly have boarders living in your house?
they're part of the homeless community, but that doesn't help much. Homeless people do try to look out for each other, but lack of resources and personal demons make that hard. Community is far more than physical proximty; it's often the opposite where living near each other is a symptom of the underlying values, beliefs and shared traits. There are lots of communities in the same physical area.
The fact you need to partition off RAM and CPUs for Docker on the Mac is the killer for me.
No it doesn’t. I think the OP was making a what-about counter argument, that the CIA was blasting pro-NATO radio programs into the Eastern Block. Of course the Soviets hated this and constantly tried to jam the signal so I think this example supports the root comment that most governments have a serious interest in curtailing adversarial propaganda.
Can you compare Synching and Dropbox? I have been a (paying) Dropbox user for many years but the product is not that good, especially on Linux. I would love a more reliable alternative.
Except what he did resulted in progress.

What you are proposing most of the time will not because it would require an immense, truly Herculean, amount of political will and backing.

Redesigning processes clashes with the #1 rule of big systems: processes are ruled by people whose jobs depend on them. And they WILL fight tooth and nail to keep those jobs. The bigger the change, the more threatened they will feel, the more they will sabotage you.

And you know what the #2 rule of big systems is: no matter what "the boss" may say, if the officials are not on board it's just not going to happen.

If you have not, I suggest watching "Yes minister" :).

Respect. As an ex-Apple II programmer I love that old box. But wow the C64 has so many more tools to leverage for demos like this.
I guess I will break all of this down for you, since you did ask.

1) Twitter calls for public input on their approach to their handling of accounts of government officials. This individual is a government official and this is an instance of handling their account.

2) Well-timed. They called for this input on March 18th. This instance of account handling is from March 19th, approximately one day later. This makes it "more relevant," given that it was not, say, six years ago.

So, I offered this data because it was topical and timely to the discussion at hand. Rather than a hypothetical, it exists as a real instance of how Twitter as a corporation handles the Twitter accounts of government leaders. If I were to discuss the price of tea in China back in 1887, that would not be topical or timely.
Agreed, I think they didn't really put much thought into it. Their next version will look at only outgoing transactions. They could also use another coin for lower transaction fees.

> Shouldn't paper forms still be available as a last resort?

No, not really. The edge cases are easily resolved by helping out those who cannot use the standard method. A friend, a random stranger or a clerk would gladly fill an online form when someone is having troubles.

Upkeep of a parallel infrastructure is hard and expensive.

If it’s not THAT rare it instantly becomes a service that is provided by a shop close to the place where the papers were supposed to be filled.

I’ve seen that in Bulgaria where clerks would fill online or paper forms for you in exchange of a small fee and in Turkey there’s a bookstore close to official buildings that will help you with all kind of form. There used to be people with typewriters hassling around public offices that would fill forms for you too.

Nowadays in Turkey the online government services are very good(you can do everything online, including everything from health services to subscription cancellations), so these seized to exist and if there’s some who cannot use the online stuff, a local shop or the clerks in a public office would help them out.

totally agree on that. the site is great, but use cases are more important
> Change the process first. Forms come later.

In government that can easily mean the forms coming never.
Appreciate the way you've thought about this, Nick. I like the suggestions that you bring up to at the end:

What if we could produce compliant configuration snippets for live systems?
What if we could express internal compliance policy in parsable form?
What if we could automatically apply configurations and re-test?
What if automatic attestation was cryptographically signed by both parties?
What if this was so frictionless it could be done daily or on-demand?

Ultimately, security is hard and finding ways to simplify and automate protocols will make everyone better off.
If anything, such controversies make me want to get a copy of said literature and read it at the first possible instance. Can I call it the Streisand effect? Maybe.

I have an unsubstantiated theory that this moral compassing at the institutional level (like the article mentions) has gathered more steam after the internet went into our phones and thus became highly accessible to the general public.

I wonder if this is possible at all without external input. I'm an ignorant in Complexity Theory though.

The author was given the mandate to "move forms online", so they chose the quickest, most agile option and did just that - moved forms online.

The author later brings up the questions you mentioned - what is a form, should these forms exist, etc, but instead of spending a long time trying to design an entire new system _when that wasn't even asked of them_ they decided to deliver results. Once they gained trust and got buy-in by the city, they could think bigger.

Google: A mysterious hacking group used 11 different zero-days in 2020
Working on a cement tug and barge we worked 12 hours a day 28 days at a time. But the best part was it wasn't even consistent 12x12. It was usually 6x6x6x6 and sometimes sporadic, so you never had time to get good sleep. Also on your off hours you were just on the boat still.

I burnt out of this industry but if anyone made a spreadsheet like this they woulda been laughed off the boat and probably subject to all sorts of bad behavior.

Not saying this justifies any of it just adding some perspective. There's plenty of industries where this goes on and most of them don't involve making huge piles of money.
Looks very good, will certainly give it a try.

I am assuming you built this with Python, right? Any chance you can share the approach? Would love to try building something for the web with the use of Tensorflow.
Read the post to which I replied. It was not speaking about prisons.

"I know people in their 50s who pretend that "they don't need this technology" or "I can just go to the bank if I need something". Sure, if you're in your 80s you might want to dodge most of the digital stuff. But in your 50s? You're gonna have to live with an increasing digitalization for multiple decades."
This is 100% correct. I run a govtech startup (similar to Seamless docs, the company mentioned in the article), and this was one of the key insights we've picked up over the last couple years.

When your process happens on paper, there's nothing forcing you to ensure it makes logical sense. You can draw whatever you want on a piece of paper, so a lot of the paper forms that people call "permits" are just messy reflections of the thought process of the person who originally conceived the process. Naturally, products that start by directly replicating a paper form are accommodating and perpetuating the lack of planning.

We've kind of taken a backwards approach where we don't accommodate direct translation of forms and instead provide tools that encourage people to think through the steps of their permitting processes to get them to make sense on a digital platform. More often than not, they discover glaring inefficiencies in the process which when fixed make everything work more smoothly even independent of the move to a digital platform.

that's definitely part of what made America today through the initial settlement from Western Europe. A big challenge is that population growth is not coming from the same areas anymore, so expecting the same driving values is probabvly not going to work. True or not, the USA is still a beacon for opportunity and an escape from some pretty dire places. The lack of social safety systems is a polarizing but effective marketing tool for the people it attracts.

> Some container disk I/O is much slower than expected. See docker/for-mac#5389. Disk flushes are particularly slow due to the need to guarantee data is written to stable storage on the host. This is an artifact of the new virtualization.framework in Big Sur.

If I don’t care about persistence of my containers (e.g. I’m just running ephemeral tests), is there a way to disable Docker for Mac / Virtualization.framework’s cache-flushing behaviour entirely? I.e. to get the same behaviour as mounting Linux ext4 with -o nobarrier,data=writeback?

Does Virtualization.framework maybe have first-class support for swap volumes — i.e. inherently ephemeral volumes, that don’t need to be flushed to the host?
I agree that calling it sensible is subjective. Most of these I wouldn't even use myself, but I found it to be a good reference overall. I set the title for the post based on the how the creator references the file.

And yet the end up giving in to it in the end, with Anna marrying Kristoff. That plot line follows a pretty standard trope. It felt a little pasted on.

I think the movie would have been slightly more successful (to me) by eliminating Kristoff, so as to not lose its core focus on Anna and Elsa. Elsa's decision to be a hero or a villain, to face or run away from her fear, is the real core of the film.

You'd still need to find a way to keep Sven. The prince for the princess should be optional (as it was in Moana); the animal companion is not.

This isn't criticism, just a thought experiment. I have genuine criticism of the sequel, which I felt undercut the themes much more strongly.

Bankers get paid for their time, and the opportunities they get are incredible.

But with that said, junior banking is an incredible brain-drain - when you look at the average banker credentials at top investment banks, compared to the actual work they do there.

I guess that is the price you have to pay for prestige. Dedicate your youth to chasing a rat-race, then when you're finally done with your MBA, maybe you get to work on genuinely interesting stuff - more than just being a spreadsheet jockey, or correcting font-sizes in PP.
I would think the audio prompt during system boot is a pretty critical piece of information if you ever have trouble starting your computer.
Legitimate interest is very broad and very vague. It's the "wild card" Legal Basis, basically used to cover all of the cases that the law didn't explicitly address. The legal requirements are more-or-less "the company has a good reason, and the privacy impact is minimal." The validity of the good reason or minimal privacy impact are subject to regulatory review, but companies are trusted to make this decision on their own until a regulator gets involved.

A company can also decline opt-out if they have an "Overriding Legitimate Interest." This is true regardless of whether the original legal basis was Legitimate Interest or Consent. However the company must restrict processing only to that particular overriding interest.

"Fraud Detection" is the canonical example of an (Overriding) Legitimate Interest. To my knowledge, that's the only example that's actually given in the text of GDPR itself. Telemetry is generally believed to be another example, and in that case it's probably not Overriding.

Processing necessary to provide a service is kind of weird. If the service is part of a contract, then you use Performance of Contract as your Legal Basis. But if the use of the service doesn't actually form a contract, then you can't use that Legal Basis and have to use either Consent or Legitimate Interest. There are arguments for and against either.

I'd love a product that is just "drag a pdf into a window and we'll turn it into a form". It looks like seamlessdocs does that, and then lets you edit the resulting form. But they're focused on governments, and I still have to fill out stupid forms for my company on paper (usually health care or tax documents or paycheck stuff) because they send THOSE on to whichever company we've outsourced that work to.

As long as you are able to do that, is it truly censoring? No ones burning books here. To say the publishing industry is especially censoring today than before is outrageous. The point is that it self censored in the ethnicity and gender of its authors instead of the material.

There’s only one nytimes best seller that can exist about a Mexican immigrant, now do you want that to be written by a white author or a Mexican one? If the white author writes objectively better, why is that? Perhaps encouraging minorities to write about themselves is just one of the methods we can use to solve the social problems these factoids represent?

Oh no! White men can’t write from the perspective of groups they have historically dominated and ruled! Cry me a river!

> easily solved with just a few extra dollars.

And to that I ask this: Let's assume I could actually deliver on this promise: If I showed up at your door offering to solve this problem for the low cost of 20% of your income for the rest of your life, would you give me that money?

There are two problems: (1) I can't guarantee I can deliver on this promise, and evidence would suggest that it's not a promise any person or group of people can make and (2) well, there's a variety of reasons a lot of us wouldn't accept that but it almost always falls into the category of "I worked for that money, I should get to choose what's done with it"[0]

Sadly, a lot of government programs designed to solve this problem become "ways for the government to employ people". The motivation to solve the problem is missing -- even stabilizing the problem would reduce the (yearly increase to the) budget for the program, which will bring the unions out. After a while, we'll start fighting "in public" about the destruction of this "valuable program" but behind closed doors the argument is about not pissing off a special interest/lobbiest of some kind.

[0] Yeah, some of us don't want to admit it but if you can't put your money where your mouth is, it's a really good idea to find out exactly why that is. If you feel it's wrong to feel entitled to the paycheck you worked for, and feel badly giving it away to something claimed a "life or death" cause, there's a moral contradiction taking place.
All of those conditions are easily by-passable except for the "legal resident" one.
