There's a difference between "a few bad deeds" and a few bad decades.

Yeah, all that stuff just happened to happen around him.
> the idea that the universe started from an arbitrarily small size and expanded was once considered stupidity.

So was an idea that it was created by some supernatural being in 7 days. If you present theory without hard data - it's very rightly to call it stupidity.

Scientific process isn't free pass to throw random theories, without data backing them.

Yes, so many and I got invited to pitch at NY tech meetup (twice) and got into Techstars with companies I hacked together with tools. It's a really great way to test an idea quickly and iterate without much funding. Be warned, at a certain point it gets tricky to scale and data transfer can be a nightmare esp if you have complex payments, so take the time you need with that. You can build an MVP of almost anything with squarespace + typeform. My go-to tools for building a startup over-night are squarespace commerce, typeform, calendly, zoom, google spreadsheets, mailchimp, fullstory, google analytics, intercom. With squarespace, don't change the design templates too much or it starts to look ugly. Typeform just added advanced logic so you can really do a lot with it. Here are some no-code projects I built with these tools. They are at the point right now where we've got thousands of users with no code, but we need developers to take them to the next level. Here are examples https://www.masteryhour.org/ , https://www.modulo.app/, http://schoolclosures.org/ (served 100k families so far) and a new one I'm especially proud of with a ton of advanced logic built in. It's very much a work in progress but pretty intelligent given it's just a form https://modulolearning.typeform.com/to/VBJmkLTu
I see where you are coming from but it is opt-in so I don’t believe that is theft.

All scientific research requires data and certain types of research require certain types of data to be useful.
I’m personally against ad driven data collection because 1) I don’t think as a whole its outcomes, both first order and second order, are in the long term interests of the viewers or society.
However assuming you can trust the data collected and how it is used is only as stated then studies looking to understand online interactions, where more and more of our lives are being lived, with the interest of improving long term outcomes seems like a good thing to me. Of course once the data is out of your hands you loose control over it so it’s good that Mozilla is doing data minimization and aggregation to help reduce the impacts of that.

I guess it really boils down to trust, intent, our ability to choose, and transparency which has not been respected in many cases so I very much do understand the skepticism. Here is to hoping this will be different. So far, in my opinion, this looks to be the case.

Having implemented HIPAA compliant software, the technical requirements arent very difficult. If you're following developments beat practices, you have 99% of technical requirements covered. The challenge with HIPAA is building process and documentation that demonstrates compliance.

It's particularly challenging at the edges of your engineering org where people tend to use tools that abstract the technical details.
Did you choose to have a Linkedin account? Did you choose to communicate using Gmail? If so, at the time you made these choices, did you consider if they were prudent, taking into account what we know about Linkedin and Google? I don’t want to assume that you were reckless, as it’s possible that you signed up many years ago, before the true nature of these companies was common knowledge. But these stories always sound to me like “I borrowed money from the Mafia and their interest rate is unreasonable. Plus, they broke my knees when I couldn’t pay. I am outraged.”
I think there's some truth to this, but the trans community is a really awkward group to try to fit into your argument.

As a trans person, I think there's a lot of toxicity to the online trans community, and there's certainly more prevalent mental illness (not surprising when you deal with frequent harassment, discrimination, being disowned by family). But trans people act like that because they feel like they're constantly under attack, and they have good reason to feel that way, given the flood of anti-trans legislation. That constant vigilance is exhausting, and as awful as it is, many of them (especially younger people) have limited power to protect themselves so they lash out at any perceived threat against trans people. It's toxic, and probably creates more enemies than allies, but I understand it.

A more interesting example would be toxic league of legends players. There's a few very popular, very toxic streamers (e.g. Tarzaned) who seem like they're struggling with depression or other issues.
DuckDB is designed to be used as an embedded library, so it should be totally feasible to use it as part of a FDW.

Alternatively, you can run DuckDB as part of a plpython function:

CREATE FUNCTION pyduckdb ()
RETURNS integer
AS $$
import duckdb
con = duckdb.connect()
return con.execute('select 42').fetchall()[0][0]
$$ LANGUAGE plpythonu;
SELECT pyduckdb();
Gmail autosaves emails as drafts while you’re typing, so at least in that case there’s an excuse.

While the analogy is correct, the binaries generated by compilers does involve integration of creative work beyond that in the code compiled. The binary as such is a 'derivative work' generated from creativity of the authors of the source code, compiler, and standard libraries. What happens is that the copyright licenses coming along with compilers and standard libraries explicitly grant generous permissions to the users of the compilers.

For algorithmic art, likewise the developers of the software typically provide permissive licenses to the users of the software.

AI makes this harder because the works are massively derivative works, which AFAIK, do not have much precedants in law. The question is not easy to answer unless the author (Nvidia in this case) owned copyright over all training data.
How would you address an intersex person? Their physical characteristics might have been decided by a doctor shortly after birth without any input from themselves. Their chromosomes might be ambiguous or just don’t match their physical characteristics. Like Hanne Gaby Odiele having an XY chromosome, looking (to me) physically female and preferring the they/them pronoun.

Any amount of coercion and trickery is unethical. This is absolutely clear to me.
Maybe it's a terminology issue. VFR means visual flight rules where you just remain clear of clouds (unless things are radically different where you are). Were you on an IFR flight plan the whole time but in VMC (visual meteorological conditions) until you entered the clouds?

This is an absolutely ridiculous response. Even if we've come to reason that tech companies can not be trusted to be ethical with our data it's a false equivalency to compare them to a criminal organization.

How sure are you that they got the Gmail account? Is it possible that you might have used an app that tracks your location at an infertility clinic and the that information got sold to LinkedIn?

I"m glad to see this point made:

> I’m not saying that all online bad behaviour is because of mental health issues or personality disorders: lots of people are just dickheads, and there’s no need to pathologise them.

One of the important lessons I took away from a milestone book on abuse, "Why Does He Do That?" is that people really want to excuse harmful behaviors as illness. When often, repeated bad behavior happens because it works for the person in question.
It is part of the suggestion algorithm. It's not "automatic" in the sense that it won't instantly and consistently trigger a recommendation without any other signals, but it can, especially if there aren't enough other strong signals to find sugestions on the person's account. A person who barely uses LinkedIn is more likely to get these very lightly associated suggestions because there is so little other signal for them.
I'm working on a website for my honey business using Angular 8. I know it would be much faster and easier to something like Wordpress, but I want to build a basic competency with a relevant frontend language. I mostly work in Python and Java, but our team doesn't have any frontend members and we might end up with this type of work in the future (ie becoming a mentor would be my ticket to finally getting promoted to senior dev... if I don't get a low rating this year, which I was told I likely would).
LinkedIn’s least damaging usage in 2021 maybe? Zero contacts, no posts, no interactions in any form, closed to any connection. Just a bland CV, which is pretty unavoidable.

I'm not saying it can't or shouldn't be discussed, but the author was so conscious of the correlations made in the article that they felt the need to literally write that they're not trying to make those correlations.

There's no shortage of people linking transgendered people and mental illness, just as there's no shortage of people linking homosexuality to mental illness.

> Testing doesn't kills by itself, not in numbers worth mentioning.

Mammography involves radiation and pressure. The radiation alone is a significant risk [1], and kills by causing cancer. It can also cause tumors to rupture and spread malignant cells. It's significant enough to significantly increase the hurdle where mammography is justified. It does not mean it never is - absolutely not. But it means screening programs need to be targeted.

> What I don't get however is how it can get even close to conventional wisdom that you want to avoid testing, as a rule.

It's not conventional wisdom that you want to avoid testing. That is for example what led to a lot of really aggressive campaigns for extensive breast cancer screening.

What we saw was a small improvement in outcomes on a small number of positive test results, for a level of testing that suggested it was necessary to take into account other factors.

Breast cancer screening was rolled back many places, or widening of the age bracket was halted as a result of looking at outcomes and realising that "conventional wisdom", which used to be that more testing was inherently good was flawed.

There are clear, quantifiable harms from it, ranging from actual risks of causing cancer or causing spread of cancer with mammography. These risks are low enough to be worth it for certain patient groups, but high enough to add up to problems if screening is too widespread.

People didn't start worrying about this because it was "conventional wisdom", but because the data shows people actually dying.

> I'm actually surprised there isn't a legal push by Congress to force Tesla to open up their charging infrastructure to others.

I honestly don't understand this sentiment.

Tesla invested many many years creating a charging network in a competitive environment that actively resisted it. So now that Tesla is super successful in part because of this long-term investment, how is it fair that Tesla _must_ open it up to the _same_ people that resisted them earlier?

That's like Apple being forced to give up their Lightning specs to third-parties because they invested years of R&D into creating a fast plug-and-play standard before USB-C gained a foothold.
This doesn't seem factually accurate. Please support this claim with more information and preferably a citation. This isn't how LN works to my knowledge.
1. Most disagreements have no real impact on my life. So I often give up and am satisfied getting to think "I told you so" if it goes wrong or I learn something new if I was wrong. For the overwhelming majority of cases, I find it not worth to press 90% of disagreements.

I'm not sure what you're talking about--I wonder if this is just your extremely subjective experience of the internet? Because I thought that the internet lately has been nothing but disagreement.
literally nothing has changed about your life due to this. I would suggest not wasting the time of the internet on trivial matters. I hope someone hacks the HN db, dumps the user info, correlates your IP, and SEOs it so that your full name comes up as infertile. seriously what do you want us to do? nobody at linked in cares, they’re not going to hotfix whatever algorithm suggested it because you feel uncomfortable. maybe your doctor is looking you up. in all, maybe don’t breed if this is the kind of shit you’re going to put the rest of us through. “damage control” lol

There are teams that are big into Rust and are hiring for it. They seem to be mostly in Windows and Azure, which makes sense: both have a huge need for safety and reliability (moreso than other areas).

But Windows has been around for 35 years; it's a huge C++ codebase, so trying to turn that ship takes time. And just as you can't wholesale rewrite Linux in Rust, it'll take time to integrate Rust into the OS. I assume Azure is a bit easier since there are new services coming online all the time that aren't necessarily dependent on others. I imagine that as these safety- and performance-critical 'experiments' take off, you'll see other teams investing in a big way. (FD: I'm in the Windows org but don't have any sort of special knowledge of the decision calculus here.)

And an actual tax preparer, not a script reader like H&R Block.

The first year I moved to the US, I had a whole bunch of things going on. Buying a house, working from home, buying a hybrid car etc., getting married. I had no real idea about the tax system, so saved all our receipts etc., and went to H&R Block.

"So what do you want to claim?"

"What can I claim?"

"What do you mean?"

"Here's a bunch of receipts and I can tell you all the details."

[vaguely confused look] "Let's go through the app."

And I watched as basically she transcribed our most basic information into their in house version of something akin to TurboTax.

I could have done that myself.

I complained. And did, eventually, get someone there who knew how to not be a glorified transcriptionist.

And then the next year found someone who had knowledge of their own.
Neat service. Thanks for sharing it.

Your credentials aren't really relevant unless you're making an ad hominem argument to the effect that we should believe everything you say about finance because you're an authority.

Use of slang or jargon in a headline only subtracts points, in my gradebook. And if dumping is mostly just selling, why not say selling? Well the answer is "because clickbait." A devaluation, insult, or attack on Tesla generates more "engagement" than a sale of Tesla.

Besides which, dumping is an analogy. Nothing is literally being dumped, just like nothing ever gets literally pumped. Nor does anyone ever literally "take a bath" or "get taken to the cleaners." Nothing "crashes" and nothing "booms." And unless people start fucking cows or grabbing salmon out of rivers with their hands and biting their heads off, nobody is "bearish" or "bullish" either.
The drive-by van stuff is old tech, I think most new metering platforms are on mesh networks now where there is some kind of central receiver connected via wire that all the meters communicate to. I don't know if they still use RF to do so, but the van driving is specifically considered very old fashioned these days.
I like your point, but I think you take it too far here:

> if there are never any negative indicators that you are the problem, rather than everyone else… there is a mathematically insignificant chance you will ever realize something might be wrong

A lot of my self-improvement has come not because of explicit negative feedback, but through paying attention to people and reflecting on who I want to be in the world. That's not to say that any approach is generally superior. People have all sorts of ways of dealing with the world.

I might be wrong, but isn't the "encrypt everything & delete key" method -way- more difficult to recover from than an actual disk wipe?

I mean, with a disk wipe, you can still try to recover some data using data forensics tools. If they key is done, you can have the best forensics team in the world, you can't decrypt the garbled data.
When working on automated bare-metal provisioning of Kubernetes clusters (the main purpose of the repo https://github.com/kinvolk/racker) it's quite time consuming to test on actual hardware. Also, the hardware may be in use at the moment, or you don't even have access to a free full rack. It was nice to see that there is IPMI support for QEMU and that ipmi_sim integrates well, but it was quite hard to set up. Especially the requirement that the BMCs should get their IP address via DHCP on the internal network is a bit more complicated/hacky. If you need to test IPMI commands or develop your own IPMI automation, have a look at this, otherwise it may serve as a demo on how to do Immutable Infra with your on-prem servers.
