There’s a big difference too in that when you publish a website, you intend for it to be aggregated. Whereas people don’t intend their SSID to be aggregated.

It’s more similar to walking along the street compiling a list of what colour curtains people put up in their window. Sure you’ve technically got it on display but people don’t really expect that information to be aggregated and shared.

Ease dropping on a conversation on the bus or a train is another example. You can’t really complain if someone overhears but that’s a far cry from someone then publishing what they overhear

TBH I didn't dig all that deep. Once you look at the size of the market (~6000 US hospitals, most of them in groups [0]), annual subscription (would need to be some fraction of what they would pay in penalties), percentage of market share you could capture (say 25%), discounts for groups, level of support, investment and unknown source systems, etc., I didn't evaluate it as a viable / likely opportunity, especially outside of our existing market.

All of that said, if you knew the space and backend systems and could figure out a way to make it easy, one thing I did hear is that hospitals don't like to be non-compliant, so I think they want a solution (or this to just go away), it just needs to be a really minimal investment for them in cost and time to implement and maintain. The provider data coming into play in 2023 may be the main driver to "normalize" some of this being out in the open.

Usual disclaimers again: my views, not my company's.

Yes, and that's another legitimate privacy concern. It is not uncommon for that data to be abused. And many people who are concerned about their name being linked to their address choose to work around this by transferring ownership to a different legal entity.
I love my rm2 as a mental scratchpad, list maker, PDF reader, ebook reader etc. Etc. I have a trick, I bought the Lamy pen compatible with the rm2, and pushed the rm2 pen nib up it, makes for an awesome writing experience!!!!
I use the Remarkable 2 daily. It feels like writing in a notebook - the screen gives you just a little bit of drag like a mechanical pencil and paper would. Very good to use.
Because of these databases if I get near you when you're using your computer, I can tell where you live:

Your computer will poll for the SSID it's setup to auto-associate to (as they may be hidden). I get the SSID of your home network, and look it up in the database.

How creepy is it that these two not very privacy interrupting things -- collecting observed SSID in the wild, and your laptop attempting to connect to things it knows essentially broadcasts your home address when you're at a conference or a coffee shop? Hope you never have a stalker.

Worse, google's "opt out" procedure makes your SSID more unique and makes this attack even more effective.

Some sunscreen is and it's mostly the cheap drugstore junk you see in almost all retail settings.

There are plenty of sunscreens out there which are not greasy and don't stink and you won't notice once you apply it.
If any other country did it, it would be.
I misunderstood your point.

The "attack" that you are describing could probably be mitigated by doing activation analysis. Given random initialization even with fine-tuning the activation distribution will be similar. Same method should be used to weed out people just repackaging the ImageNet pretrained model from torchvision.

That being said you can still distill a network into another with a teacher-student approach and that would be undetectable.
Buy UPF shirts from Patagonia, a relatively environmentally-friendly company. I never go out in the summer without UPF-50 long sleeve shirts, never have an issue with tanning let alone burning, and always feel perfectly comfortable as I don't have to apply or remove as much sunscreen.

I wooed my wife with my handwritten letters... Thirty years ago. Of course, these days, I'm also her wife, and my handwriting isn't so good anymore. But my Remarkable 2, after the latest software updates is remarkably good. Now I wish we could reconvene our RPG club from thirty years ago, because it's the best RPG notes device I've ever used, better than paper, because it's more flexible.

Well that was depressing. What's the message?
> certain important things like housing, education, and healthcare have gotten far more expensive

This is what classist "but they have refrigerators" arguments love to obfuscate. Yes, a poorer person might still have a roof over their head and a smartphone. But they're spending a huge chunk of their income on rent. They want to move somewhere cheaper, but there are fewer opportunities, or their pay would go down too. They avoid seeking medical care because of how astronomically expensive it is, which makes future negative outcomes more likely (and more expensive). And seeking higher education amounts to taking on tens of thousands in debt from predatory lenders, with only a few college majors actually amounting to a good ROI.

It's not that poor people now have it worse than poor people in the 50's, it's that we shouldn't set the bar that fucking low in the richest country on earth. Our society could do so much more. That's what all these commenters are missing, willfully or otherwise.
> raising similar amounts of money in Europe is super hard

This.

I am European but live and work in US.
Simply put, US wins hands down because they:

- have resources, read $$$$

- take risk

- have the right entrepreneurial mindset

Europe? let's just say they are not even close.
Most of the super successful companies in Israel are either doing things for the state or working for American corporations (or the American government).
The "emacs amazon" link makes at least one false claim:

> The original brilliant guys and gals here only allowed two languages in Amazon's hallowed source repository: C and Lisp.

There actual originals (i.e. when it was two people) only allowed C++. There was no Lisp, and no C, although the C++ was a fairly limited subset that was perhaps midway between C and "full C++94".

Then it compounds this error, makes another:

> they didn't allow C++ here, and they didn't allow Perl. (Or Java, for that matter). They knew better.

Numerous early Amazon utilities were written in Perl. I know because I wrote them.

Yegge is entitled to his various views on different languages. But revisionist history about the early development at Amazon is not OK, even when in defense of Emacs, a noble cause if ever there was one.
Sometimes closed source software gets open sourced for business reasons, and backed by a big consortium, rather than being written from the ground up by hobbyists.

I wonder if big aerospace and defense companies like Boeing, and automakers, and heavy industry, and so on, might decide it's in their interests to collectively buy and open-source an existing commercial CAD package rather than risk being held hostage to the vendors that gatekeep their engineering.
> Is there a list somewhere of actual CIA successes?

Probably, but if you are asking you probably don’t have the security clearance to see it.

> it sometimes seems like the CIA has never really succeeded at any intervention.

Well, duh. If it seems like the CIA was involved in an intervention, then it, ipso facto, seems like they failed: while interventions aren’t the primary job of the CIA, overt interventions aren’t any part of their job.

> Have they ever had an unqualified success that actually helped people?

If the CIA had a success (qualified or otherwise), helping people would be a side effect (or maybe instrumental but not ultimate goal). The CIA isn’t the Peace Corp or US AID, along with “overt intervention”, another thing that isn’t their job is “helping people”.
The original poster is correct. For some configurations Linux is a complete shit show of pain. And it is not stable over time. I had a nicely working T495 which is apparently officially supported by Ubuntu. Worked wonderfully for ages. Then about 3 months ago a kernel update broke it. It works for about ten minutes then the GPU driver craps itself.
My experience was the same until I started to use off-the-shelf or simply “consumer top” hardware, then it changed. It all shines and then you get a recent laptop or a mobo that aren’t a sped up version of IBM PC/AT or 8259. I also managed a small park of BSD and Linux boxes at work for a while.

What exactly are you suggesting, that you experienced a problem so it won't work for anyone else?

People can give it a try, but shouldn’t expect that it’s all okay once it shows a wallpaper. Committing to something like OS requires a prior knowledge of operational risks. I think this.

They obviously make fun of it too shamelessly, but suggesting to use it… is it another level of trolling (no offense)?
Another blocker is that CAD is a relatively small part of mechanical engineering. Pretty much all software engineers use version control, but depending on subfield/company, maybe 20-50% of mechanical engineers will use CAD significantly. Mostly the design guys. The engineers in test, analysis, materials will barely touch it.
That is legitimately the one thing I wish was different about the RM2 - the screen is 1/3 or so smaller than a regular sheet of paper. If it were 1:1 with a sheet of paper, I would absolutely love this thing.
Ok, I'm not continuing with this. Just note that I didn't write that -Os would be always or even usually faster. I could try to come up with an example where -O3 produces a huge loop preamble for loop that's iterated once or just generates enough cache misses to be overall slower, but I don't care enough.
How do you look it up in their database?
The conspiracy theory was "Covid19 is a genetically engineered virus". It was either Bill Gates, the Chineese, or George Soros.

A lab breakout should not be labeled a conspiracy theory, unless you add specific component, like "the lab breakout was organized by the CCP/ a dissident part of the CCP/ Falun Gong". I've seen some figure that said the likehood of a lab escap was 10% compared to zoonose, but other figure on twitter were more like 40/60, so i have no opinion. If the CCP hide a lab breakout, good for them. I don't really care, but its not a conspiracy theory, even if the theory is disproven.

A conspiracy theory is not just "an accident happened and some government is hiding things". The russian missile that shut down the MH17 could have been fired by ukrainians, or by russian mercenaries. One governement is definitely hiding something, but me saying that it was the Ukrainian that did it, even if this is a minority theory deosn't make it a conspiracy theory.

A conspiracy is a theory in which a small group of people or a government either - plan to kill people to take over (take over what? unclear) - is hiding the truth for unclear or bullshit reasons (avoid a panic) - is lying to people for unclear reasons. I might forgot some points, but this is the gist of it.

I don't consider "birthers" conspiracy theorists. I do consider them influencable.

No. The technology grants many benefits, for example I use Siri on my iPhone almost everyday. I don't use social media, however. I find it largely useless and unappealing.

The stool has a fourth leg: other students. It's tough to get a good education if many of the other students are violent or disruptive. Public schools can't easily expel problem students.
I don't see anything in that article that actually contradicts the definition of SPF. It's basically saying:

> It's a common misconception that speed determines how fast you get to your destination, but actually distance also matters. So speed does not reflect time to destination. Instead, speed lets consumers compare the level of relative quickness and that 60mph is quicker than 6mph.

Obviously we need to hold other factors constant. It's not a useful point in when talking about speed and I don't see the point in talking about SPF. And it certainly doesn't mean that time to destination is inversely proportional to speed.
because...it's a use case that I like that works fine in other browsers?
Google and Facebook are both multinational companies, employing people in many different countries. I guess there's probably a majority of their payroll expenses in the USA, but I have no idea.
If you look over that table, its generally the cheap drugstore sunscreens pushed by 2-3 large multinational companies.

Buy a higher quality sunscreen (there are multiple reddits for this exact purpose) and you will not get poisoned by benzene and it won't be greasy and smelly.
I like this report, just enough scandal and shady characters to make sense. But also, you have to think the SPAC sponsor and DraftKings performed a good level of due diligence on SBTech? The one thing I really took out of reading this report was how many breadcrumbs we all leave out there on the internet.

Which then, to me, boils this all down to: A) the due diligence was sufficient and the lawyers signed off on everything or B) this is some sort of scheme to launder money and the whole thing is dirty.

Or, C) they did their due diligence and decided it was worth the risks.
No, it isn't. An SSID isn't personally identifiable information.
"I will trim this part out."

I've often wondered if they always say that, or only in 100% of the cases where they forgot to trim 'this part' out?
Hey, wtf are you doing? Scumbags do not deserved to be lumped in with insurance companies - it's insulting to the scumbags and doesn't accurately describe how despicable anyone involved in the insurance industry truly is.
What are the aims of the CIA? Are all the divisions within the CIA rowing in the same direction? Is it possible there are multiple CIA operations in direct conflict with each other, without any awareness of the others' involvement? What are CIA strategy sessions like? How far out are they planning, or do they tend to be weirdly reactionary?
I notice that you said "most" and so you might be technically correct, but you can accurately make out Germany on a map of google streetview availability, because enough people did have an issue with it when it was first introduced.
Interesting idea, but I don't see why you should single the USA out, other than by the fact that it's the most powerful nation that declassifies a certain amount of information about itself. Every powerful nation has had some involvement in election interference, propaganda, wars, slavery, torture, and so on.
I’ve wondered the same but haven’t done any digging into it yet. We’re in the middle on migrating a lot of code over and I plan to test the impact.

It’s all going to depend on what sort of optimisations are done by the browser. They could very well cache style rules by class combination hashes. (They probably don’t, but it’s possible).

Whatever happens, in my case it’s going to be better than the laggy material ui and css-in-is tooling we were using before.
Well in that case I do agree with you. I've been trying to wrap my head around squaring my beliefs in democratic systems with the idea that groups can be easily "nudged" into desired directions by outside actors. While this has always been the case, it's been accelerated by the laser-focused targeting enabled by our current technologies. It even begins to question the idea of "free-will" applied to large groups.

I don't know what a solution looks like.
That is really too bad. Hopefully there's either a larger device or upgrade soon, I've been waiting a long time for something like the reMarkable to mature into a product that fits my needs.

And if you do insist on going private for a kidney MRI, a quick google shows prices are in the 200-400 pound range ($280-$560, roughly) for MRI of the abdomen.
>Your computer will poll for the SSID it's setup to auto-associate to (as they may be hidden). I get the SSID of your home network, and look it up in the database.

AFAIK this sort of polling only happens if your phone has hidden networks remembered. Also, the probe it sends is for the ESSID (human readable string), not the BSSID (mac address). Most databases (including google) only allows for lookup by BSSID not ESSID so doing that sort of lookup is non-trivial.
Wrong because the alternative had no real evidence either.
If you aren't reimbursing medical expenses, the money is taxed, even when you are 65+. (It functions sort of like a Traditional IRA in that circumstance.)

The real trick is to save medical receipts for years/decades and reimburse only when you actually need the money, paying out of pocket until then.
From my perspective, EU law does not play the most dominant role in everyday life. Apart from the big (or super silly) changes, it’s often more of a news maker. Take that plus big cultural differences (most notably: not being able to understand each other’s language), and you get a feeling of own nationalities.
If it's really that hard to get engaged into something that you aren't innately interested in but that you know you "should" do, I would seek an ADHD diagnosis. It's a pretty big symptom. Sometimes it really is not possible and even if it is it's extremely difficult and you feel dumb for it (but obviously you shouldn't, it's not your fault). It's like your mind throwing a tantrum and refusing to engage with the work at all.
Perhaps projects should include a "don't be an asshole" addendum to their license of choice that allows revocation in cases of abuse by users. It's a small thing to ask, but I'm not sure I like 2nd order and higher consequences of such an addendum.

But man, it would probably feel great to reply as @shotcut, "Your license to use shotcut has been revoked under section 8.3.4 of the license agreement. Please cease use of shotcut until remedies under section 8.3.4 have been made (public written apology for abusive behavior)".

> Linux is quite beginner friendly these days

Not only that - Linux as a standard Debian or Ubuntu system did also become astonishingly beginner-friendly for people who do not like to tinker with computers, and just use them to read mail, edit documents, and browse the web. It's literally setting up once, send them the laptop, it works for five years or more, without any servicing.
Windows 95, Windows XP and Windows 7 were the best.
Whenever I hear of a new UI design for software I use, I'm terrified. I
seriously can't remember a case when that was good news.

From Win95 to Gnome to KDE - they never became better. Just more colorful
and more resource hungry. The new Firefox is a total shitshow. Windows
8 was a disaster (and 10 didn't get much better). What is wrong with
having windows title bars which clearly show where the focus is? Why
does everything has to be white?

From Windows 11 I expect the worst and I'm sure I will still be
disappointed.
To my knowledge, those make no guarantee that the work done is correct, only that it is private and secure (which is effectively the same root assumption as with FHE).
