One possibly missing bullet point from the first list: Disbanding the committee for working on diversity, equity and inclusion. Previously this subject was explicitly a workplace conversation topic at Basecamp. They even sanctioned it with a committee. Apparently right up until the point where the committee found a skeleton in a closet.

And then throw the timeframe on top of it. If this stuff had happened over the course of a year, it might have been fine. But if it unfolds as quickly as it did at Basecamp, people don't have a chance to stop and breathe. It's just react react react.
One thing that might change this is if V2V, where cars communicate to each other on the road, becomes more relevant. Then you'd only need to compromise one particular make and/or model of a car to start sending false information to a whole bunch of cars.
Does anyone else use the AWS free tier for a year, and then when the free year ends, signup for a new account and start another free tier account? It's a good technique if you live frugally.

The only caveat being you have to migrate everything to new servers, which can get messy if you don't practice how to do that efficiently.
There have been attempts to validate this method. This one made it into a poster presentation at a conference:

We have contributed quite a few parts of cinder upstream already and will continue to do so. I’m not sure where you got the idea that this is just a dump and we expect core devs to do all the work of upstreaming.
This reminds me of the "Based on a true story" in the Coen brothers' Fargo. Looked at as an artistic effect, these (non-)facts elevate the Spielberg movie by adding a meta twist. Makes it even better in my opinion.

I think both things are true but you can’t expect to do that over a whole codebase; you have to do it feature by feature as you build them or you’ll literally be fixing issues forever.
In mu opinion, enterprise product space is one of the weird space ever. Having seen tons of tools from big data to devops tools, it is all about marketing and more importantly hardcode sales. Another things that I observed is that no body gets fired for buying enterprise products. In the famous saying, "No body gets fired for buying IBM", these days you can replace IBM with any enterprise product company because they are using the same playbook. Another thing I have started observing is that startup who actually start with solving real problem from scaleups and midmarket, has to deploy a playbook like IBM, Oracle to win market share in Enterprise.

However, I am truly optimistics about the new trend of consumerization of enterprise as that starts democratizing these purchasing decisions and gives purchasing decision power to the dev themselves.
it is only good if that was the intention of the descendant, unfortunately we as a culture do not properly plan for death there for I can see a huge amount of data being lost even if the descendant wished for their family to see the data. (or did not have a strong desire for data to die with them)
IBM has very strict rules about anyone (below a certain but unspecified level!) offering or accepting anything at all. IBM employees you might meet are not allowed to so much as buy or accept lunch at a conference.

The general rule for US corruption is that it is concentrated at the top. Grift at lower levels amounts to stealing from your superiors; you should be getting hand-downs, not going freelance.

But US corruption has moved toward making it all legal at the top level; thus, "cost overruns" and "waste", all indictment-proof, because they are right there in the contract. So on any random tunnel, nuke, or weapons system, 10-25% is for the result and the rest goes discreetly into pockets. Top pockets. Ultimately, the latter motivates the project's organizational sponsors, and the project itself is just cover.

VC firms designate a few winners and lots of loser startups. The losers are then milked, "placing" executives who then spend on designated services. In the '90s these usually included Oracle licenses at $500k and up, a certain "e-commerce platform" (name forgotten), and recruiting agencies. It seems like there are a lot more outfits to siphon money than before.

(They fund losers because they are contractually obliged to place a certain amount of money in a fixed timeframe. When not enough winners show up, thd rest has to be placed on losers. Also, graft.)

Because Adam Neumann did it openly and followed the law? If Netflix VP disclosed company affiliation and kickbacks to Netflix and Netflix was fine with it, it won't be a problem.

At much smaller scale, engineer on my team had brother who owned business organizing offsites/company retreats. Engineer suggested we use his brother company for our team offsite (and told what a cool rope courses they do) and disclosed affiliation (that he is his brother). After that I checked websites, looked at other options and decided to go with engineer's brother company. I email HR just in case and it was totally fine. Key was that I (unaffiliated with brother company) made final decision and disclosure of relationship. Event was a blast and frankly I feel that we got more than we paid as brother worked extra hard to make sure everything went smooth and cool.

I recommended that company to other managers and I know that a few other teams had events with them. At this point it was twice removed (those managers did not even know engineer on my team) and no disclosure was necessary.

Disclosure is key.

ClearURLs is being discussed. It changes the URL you are visiting to remove tracking info. There are preexisting plugins that do the same thing with shortened URLs—unmasking them and thus untrackifying them.

So mock and downvote all you want. I don't see why ClearURLs couldn't add this functionality.

Edit: Or am I just being downvoted by people who don't want anybody to know that it's possible to stop this form of tracking?

Software developers are often expected to multitask, a lot, especially now in this new age of agile. This takes the form as multiple meetings per day, email saturation, multiple IM platforms, phone calls, the expectation to know and do everything as a “full stack” developer, context switching, reporting metrics, etc. If you work in multiple projects, all that overhead is just multiplied. This the current reality and I don’t see it changing any time soon because we designed this tyrannical system by which we now live.
Facebook used to promise that phone numbers collected for 2FA purposes wouldn't be used for advertising purposes, and then broke that promise.

That is just one example which was made public and was done intentionally. There's potentially plenty more cases where it's either done but concealed (because of how many factors go into ad targeting it's often impossible to categorically prove/disprove which data was used to target an ad) or done by accident from earlier code that just assumed all data is fine to use for ads (or that the new product which shouldn't share its data for advertising purposes was accidentally storing data in the same place as other products who do share data for advertising purposes).

Why should we trust companies that have a business incentive to break their promises? If Google's biggest revenue stream is ads and that requires personal data then I wouldn't trust any of their promises not to use some personal data unless I can 100% audit all the code myself and prove that it's indeed that code that is running in production.

Well that is not actually true for at-least 2 reasons

1. There are many things I do not want my family to access to today while I am alive, but wish them to have access to them if I were to die. My password vault as an example, they will need access to that to close my estate more easily

2. Many programs by default today have some kind of strong security, simply enabling this security by default to keep unwanted third parties out does not necessarily mean I want to also lock out my family. I many not want the PUBLIC reading it but that is different than not wanting family to read it. It also could be related to #1

I’m not sure, but I would guess this is advantageous to the US government in that US companies are allowed to compete globally but there is a wink-wink nudge-nudge acknowledgement they could be prosecuted at any time if they don’t play nice with Washington on other issues.

I fail to understand how you'd "unmask" a backend-obfuscated URL (where you just have an ID, and there's no way to get the target URL by just looking at the URL) without opening the URL, defeating the purpose of improving privacy we're discussing here.

Or maybe you and OP don't care about the privacy part of the problem, and you just want to automate getting the "canonical" / "non-personal" one from the "masked" one?

If you've ever worked in Mainland China in virtually any field, you've undoubtedly heard workers or managers use the phrase "chabuduo" accompanied by a shoulder shrug. It translates to "close enough".

When you've purchased some cheap product that is Made in China and falls apart after a few months, or when you hear a building in China has collapsed due to cutting corners or cheaping out on materials, or when an accident occurs because safety measures at a factory were non-existent, or when rocket pieces come crashing out of the sky... you can be sure somebody involved mentioned this risk and there was a decision maker who shrugged it off with a "chabuduo".

To be clear it's an attitude very prevalent in Mainland China and not culturally specific to Chinese - I haven't encountered this in Taiwan, Malaysia, Singapore, or even Hong Kong - and I think it's an attitude that is really holding China back from its full potential.

Checking referred chapter in Stanislaw's book[0], Stanislaw (well, to be accurate his stand-in, Acheropoulos) says that the current universe was the result of a "game" between protocivilizations each having their own space with its physical laws. Actually L. Smolin has been a proponent an even more similar idea, referred to as cosmological natural selection[1], first presented in Smolin's book "The life of the cosmos"[2] published in 1992, with the argument that the universe evolved analogous to biology natural selection driven (rather civilizations) by black hole collapses.

Why are you assuming that S[n+1] takes S[n] as an input, rather than being completely unaffected by S[n]? Is n here a discretization of time or a "meta-time" that captures state progression?

If the former, then you are treating time as a primitive, whereas the representation or even existence of time can be part of state and vary over state changes, so this does not work.

If the latter, are you assuming S[n] is an input because a universe where that is not the case and state "transitions" are completely independent from each other is indistinguishable from a multiverse with inaccessible sub-universes and should be called as such? In the latter, you are also assuming linearity and discreteness of state changes, whereas it could be a DAG or more complex structure.

Edit: On further reflection, I think you are proceeding with the standard post-Renaissance assumption that a universe must always be governed by fundamental rule(s) at the "lowest level," rather than a more chaotic or unstructured universe that behaves more like a disjoint set than an orderly structure. I think it makes sense to constrain to that assumption as departing from it makes reasoning difficult but it is worth stating explicitly as an axiom.
If someone asks you “do you denounce white supremacy?”, and you stay silent… many people (myself included) would see that as a form of endorsement. I don’t need any additional context, and I don’t see it as being any kind of logical fallacy.
