Thanks a lot for sharing this. Loved reading.
Rotating (or required change) on some circumstantial criterion (the old password is know or suspected to be compromised, system update, etc.) is entirely valid.

Forced scheduled frequent password updates are not and worsen rather than improve security. That's the point here.

In environments in which data leakage probability is high, and detection capabilities poor, periodic password changes are a defensible risk-mitigation measure, though in practice unless new tokens are themselves robust, the practice backfires. The problem is that both sides of the risk calculus need to be considered --- compromised token validity period, and token strength. People being people, the first is actually the safer risk to take.

> At least on my Model 3, the manual override is a literal handle that is easy enough to use

That's if you're conscious.

After an accident strong enough for the batteries to burst into flames, the manual override being on the inside of the car seems dubious.

Plus, as others have mentioned, it's very likely the same accident has wedged body panels together making opening of the door impossible, despite the manual override.
> The isekai genre is definitely overused at this point

Yet somehow we can't get enough of it!

I mean, I know I'm a sucker for isekai. Some of it is poorly animated with terrible stereotypes (for anime) and far too much fan service but it's not isekai that's cliche it's the story that's being told inside of it that could be.

I'd argue that isekai is one of the best and truest forms of sci-fi: Instead of just "drama, in space!" or "drama, in the future!" isekais are (normally) answering the question, "what if?"

Like, what if you were reincarnated in another world but you weren't human? What if you were a monster? Or a machine? Or immortal? Overpowered because of nature or overpowered because of nurture (i.e. the ability to carry forward knowledge from this world)? The possibilities are endless!

There's so many great isekai anime that explore these and other questions. Some get quite detailed and realistic (in terms of emotions or the sorts of problems one might run into) while others are more about comedy or relationships (again, "drama, in <another world>!").

Some of the more interesting aspects/concepts of isekai anime that I've watched:

- Main character is not the only one that was brought to another world *but the others who also came are from completely different alternate universes* (Shield Hero).
- An *entire group of people* get sent to another world (Arifureta, So I'm A Spider, So What?, Grimgar)
- The other world is *super early* feudal-ish (so primitive they don't know how to make paper or even crochet... yet) and the main character remembers all the arts & crafts stuff her mother and grandmother taught her (Ascendance of a Bookworm). Hehe: How well do *you* understand the process of making paper (think you could figure it out in that situation? =)
- What if your mom came to the other world with you? (this one is actually so over the top and ridiculous but the question itself is kind of interesting: Do You Love Your Mom and Her Two-Hit Multi-Target Attacks?)

Some of those aren't the point of the anime but they're interesting questions/situations nonetheless.

FWIW, I've never liked this argument, although that's not why I initially made this list. The best case scenario from the community perspective is that it increases elitism, although companies like Snapchat went viral with teens for hiding away features.

Note that relatively few companies hide features for serendipity nowadays.

If you learn how to find what's interesting about the dullest of topics or tasks, you will never be bored a day in your life. I enjoy taking on tedious tasks that few people want sometimes. Being able to do something and do it well despite my brain yelling at me that it doesn't like it brings me satisfaction. Also, after a while my brain quiets down and starts enjoying itself. Perhaps the author should try this more often.

Interesting thought experiment! Let's take it one step further. Can the "pay what you want" value be negative?

As a manager I would be responsible for providing you with a steady stream of interesting or meaningful work. I would have to structure the work to fit around your flexible schedule, shield you from doing the parts you don't like, and change it up if you start getting bored. But I would not be able to rely on your output for anything mission critical.

How much would you pay me to provide this service to you?

That's been known for a while. Some of the automation systems that have a human in the loop will actually lower the level of automation every once in a while and ask the human to take over so that the human does not get complacent.

That's not really a popular way to sell cars though. Having a car that requests a lane change or to re-center the car in the lane every once in a while isn't what people are really looking for, even though it would increase driver attentiveness.
> Both of those are things elected governments can, and maybe should, do.

Agreed. And what banks do has (or should have) little bearing on that.

> This does nothing to help the poor but environmentally conscious person.

That's debatable.* But in any case, banks aren't charities. Modern capitalism holds that they have no obligation to anyone except their shareholders.

*For actually "poor" people, car ownership is a burden. They have to pay high interest rates and tie up a significant portion of their capital just to get around. Whereas most developed countries (and even a great many developing countries) have efficient public transportation, which doesn't have these downsides for poor people. Also the poor have more to lose from climate change, so arguably these banks are serving them better in the long-term by divesting from carbon.

To be fair, a base-60 system has some value over a base-100 system.

That being said, a pound is so worthless today that the difference between 1/60th of a pound and 1/100th is meaningless; it would just be a rounding error in most calculations.

I suspect that all fractions of a £ will go the way of the shilling in the next 30 years.

Newspaper: "You're self-driving car killed people!"

Newspaper: "But self-driving cars are supposed to be safe!"

Which is to say, no one paid to attention to the exact breakdown because most people aren't going to dive into the options. If Tesla wants self-driving to seem safe, they sure as better disable all unsafe self-driving features.

These discussions often miss the point and get bogged down in trying to prove or disprove individual instances of bias or censorship.

The problem for me is prior to all of that.

If the New York Times (say) lacks financial independence, then it will always be structurally indebted to whoever foots the bill. It's just a matter of fact built into the nature of the relationship between the two entities.

Facebook executives may not have established the relationship simply to "buy off" the Times. I imagine most of them have a real commitment to "fixing the news" in their hearts. But it doesn't matter.

If news agencies depend on organizations outside of themselves for the basic necessities of their existence and reproduction, then they aren't independent. They are dependent on those organizations, by definition. What they can report on now has conditions and limits. I want to emphasize that this is a restriction on what it is *possible* to report on. It might not ever produce a distinction that you could easily measure. This is a different, and worse, problem than Facebook purchasing some flattering reporting. Facebook now (obscurely, tacitly) sets the structural conditions (without having to explicitly state any rules or appear to be a bad guy in any way).

It's not hard to think of an example of reporting which could become impossible under these conditions. Imagine if the Times, due to some public outcry, or for whatever reason, took a major rhetorical turn toward combating digital surveillance, just like they did in the last year with racism and issues of cultural morality. A sudden "moral clarity" emerged around topics that the paper used to try to be neutral about.

Whether you like those developments or not, I imagine most people will agree that the employees of the New York Times, not executives at Facebook, or anybody else, should decide the course of the Times' reporting. An existential financial dependence will of course condition all reporting on the maintenance of that dependence.

There's a model of drone listed in the article that is the right size and has the capabilities attributed to the drones we were seeing. We're near an air force base and a lot of people around here are either ex-air force or plane enthusiasts. A lot of people are watching the sky and know what's normal, what's not, and are able to identify the wide variety of planes that come in and out of the base.

I'm not good at IDing the different types of planes, but what I was seeing were not the usual suspects. I've seen them come low enough to tell that they were not large enough to be passenger aircraft. And believe me, I know a crop duster when I see it. Dad and my husband can both tell you what what they're looking at and what it's for from a good distance and at night. They both are certain that what we were seeing wasn't a known model.

It's a little irritating to hear that us Midwestern folks just don't know a drone from a jet. It's kind of in our blood in this area to always be watching the skies.
How to lose five years of your life overnight
| Many in Silicon Valley advocate for things like basic income and socialized medicine.

UBI is not socialist, it has roots in Austrian economics. Most socialists are opposed to it, although some might accept it as a short-term compromise. Like I said, socialism is nationalization, collectivization or unionization. It is not the negative income tax proposed by Hayek which maintains market relations and alienation of labor.

As for universal healthcare/single payer, can you show me people representing Silicon Valley that support Medicare For All? Not just employees, not the proles, but actual power brokers?
This is a great example of sales and marketing outpacing technology. Tesla has been absolutely negligent from the very beginning by marketing Autopilot as "full self driving". Full level 4 self driving capability does not exist, and will not exist for a long time to come. They have repeatedly lied to the public through their advertising to make people think that it does. What Autopilot is is a very sophisticated form a cruise control, and nothing more. Those peoples' deaths are on Elon's hands for purposely selling a false bill of goods.
This gets into a chicken and egg argument. You are arguing that the level of demand is leading to the current price point, while complainers about E Ink argue that anti competitive practices lead to higher prices which results in a lower demand.

In a competitive market, both are actually true. The fact that there aren't really any major competitors to E Ink in that market indicates however that there probably is some sort of moat (whether it is IP, or otherwise)and that prices are likely higher than they would be in a more competitive market. There are a lot of signs that there is latent demand in the market and lowered prices would lead to an increase in total market volume.

History shows that 3 things are important for food security: live animals for milk or slaughter, grain that can be stored, and any local food that can be easily dried. Before we react that food security isn't really a thing anymore, history has something to say about that as well. And yet the foolish are advocating for 2 of these safety nets to be disposed of.

I'm not up to date with the state of the art, but the March 2020 paper from the Bank of England seemed clear that balances would be held on a ledger at the Bank of England. Whether the balances on this ledger would be assigned to specific beneficiary owners, or only to intermediaries (like retail banks) wasn't clear. But, in either case, only the central bank could issue/mint new balances.

> You have mistaken the rate of deaths (per 100,000) for the percentage. When judging this increase, one must consider that in the same timeframe, the mean age of the population has risen by 10% and life expectancy increased by more than two years.

Sorry, knew what I meant, but messed up what I typed. In any case, doubling the death rate per 100k is still much greater than the 10% age and 2-3% lifespan increase would indicate. Alzheimer's mortality had increased 16x between 79 and 91 (from a mere 857 to 13,768 in 1991[0]. The previous study I quoted above put the 2018 mortality at 122,019. Alzheimer's is now the 6th leading cause of death and continues to rise at a rapid rate.

> Ordinary CJD has a much lower median age of death (68 years) than Alzheimer's (88 years), but vCJD (the form that is believed to be caused by contaminated food) has a median age of death of only 28 years.

This is the crux of the problem.

We have experimental knowledge about this from kuru. The last patient displayed symptomatic kuru some 5 decades after the cannibalistic practices had stopped.

Do only young people eat meat? If all age groups eat meat at equivalent rates and infection rates in cattle are constant (believed to be around 1 in a million IIRC), then the median age should be the population median age PLUS a shift for however long it takes to become symptomatic.

Linkage is also important. How do we know that CJD and vCJD are different? We made that distinction arbitrarily and don't have evidence that "normal" CJD is not caused by external sources. Official vCJD cases are around 200 over the past 30 years, so there isn't exactly huge amounts of data to pull from either.

If CJD really did explode in the 80s-90s, then you would expect the older generation to become symptomatic at an older age than would be typical if the disease were common in the decades before.

There seems to be a connection with being vegetarian/vegan and alzheimer's but how much is due to not eating meat and how much is due to overall healthy lifestyle is hard to determine.

Something weird is going on with Alzheimer's disease and the legit explosion in cases over the last 30 years (both per capita and as cause of death in the elderly) give reason to wonder what weirdness is going on.

I don't disagree with your first point but I think much depends on a person work ethic and what it means to them to do a good job. An engineer worth their salt would understand that success is not only writing the fun bits but also: the tests to make sure everything works as intended, documentation for their failing memory and having other contribute, bug fixes because we can't have those laying around, ...

As is, the signal is too weak to know if the person just wants a toy to play with (I doubt) or if they are ready for the full package because they understand it's how it should be done. Definitively a point to check thoroughly before hiring – but it would be the same for other candidates, right ?
