Are there any open hardware printer projects? You could (almost) guarantee no tracking dots, although of course a totally custom printer might produce output that is unique enough to be unintentionally identifying.

As a side effect it might actually be repairable instead of disposable like most commercial printers seem to be.
The page you link to does not refer to the manufacturer, but to the seller.

The seller will tell you to send the item to the manufacturer to check if it is a "warranty" case. You, on the other hand, will tell your seller that you won't do that, that you will send the product to him, and that the will have to check if it is covered by the "legal warranty" (notice the difference between just "warranty" of the manufacturer, and "legal warranty" of the seller). It is up to the seller then to forward the product to the manufacturer or to provide you directly a replacement or repair it himself.

If you send it to the manufacturer, like the seller wanted you to, the manufacturer can send it back to you untouched, saying it is not covered by his "warranty". You will have to pay the shipping. Then you will have to send it to the seller, and also let him know that you had to pay for shipping to the manufacturer, that you'd like that money back as well, which the seller can reject (but probably won't).

The seller is in a worse position than the manufacturer, because only he is bound to the the things mentioned on the page you linked to.
Is this an issue with the workflow that the kernel uses in terms of time spent per patch? In most workflows this seems like it'd take under a minute to review, approve and merge each one although the CI/CD might add some computing cost.

Such an important property of the web. Server sends a description of what it wants, client renders and handles interactions. Things like server side rendering are anti-web.

Server-side rendering, streaming video, and such aren’t incompatible with internet philosophies in the slightest, just not aligned with the intent of the www. Apps, even the ones that aren’t merely web views, are more www-like in this regard.
No, that is not the assumption. The assumption is that the only way in which such a test will be useful is by applying it absent symptoms to the population en-masse aka screening.

And that - no matter who good the test, and no matter how early - leads to a decrease in positive patient outcomes.

This is established medical science, and it pains me to have to continue to point out the same thing over and over again, but since I started with this response I feel obliged to continue to do so.

The outcome of a cancer treatment is not pre-determined, there are a lot of individual factors at play here that will have a huge effect on the outcome, possibly much larger than the effect of that particular cancer itself.

So en-masse screening leading to an increased number of treatments of pre-symptomatic cancers with those current responses is not a choice, we know that this will lead to a worse outcome across a population.

Early detection does not add anything to that. If you could pick out those individuals for which early detection would make a difference then that would be a gamechanger, and here the ball is currently in the genetics court.

The other part where major change can be made is by finding ways to treat cancers in a way that is non-invasive and does not put the patient further at risk (so no surgery, chemotherapy or radiation therapy).
Sounds to me like the issues with this early detection is more of a regulation and education problem then. That could be fixed.

> "Our tests are bad, so lets[sic] not test" is not a thought worthy of respect.

Correct. But that's not the issue here.

Current tests can detect benign tumors, and do. People go in for their regular tests, hear "cancer" and of course want to get treatment. But that treatment itself is not idempotent. You want to accept the negative side-effects if the alternative is an aggressive cancer that will end your life soon. But you don't want that if there is no cancer.

As in many fields, it's a matter of trade-offs and risk assessment.

Here's one article detailing some of the issues surrounding overdiagnosis of colorectal cancer:

But it's EOL. EOL means end of life, not just "no longer sold". EOL means we agreed it's trash and you are using it at your own risk.

It's not the manufacturer's fault if your expired fire extinguisher or medicine fails.

Internet things are out durable goods. They require maintenance or they fail.

If EOL is unreasonably short, that's a factor in purchase decision or contract or commercial code violation if they surprised you with accelerated EOL.

Internal drives, you're right, likely wouldn't be bought by a non-techie alone.

But THIS affected type of drive is specifically marketed to a very non-technical user, and I can certainly confirm my non-technical friends and family have bought products in this segment independently, whereas my techie friends steer clear.

It's a NAS that's made to look like a drive. My techie friends would never buy it - they'd get Synology/QNAP, or do their own over-complicated time-consuming solution (slight editorial opinion there ;), or use cloud backup, or some combo. But my dad, mother in law, and other relatives have products like this, and have purchased them on their own. In fact, I think when asked, most techies would in fact go against the notion of buying cheap but internet-exposed storage device for a non-technical friend :O

I wouldn't consider Android good. At least in the age of bespoke phone OSes things were so bad that you could easily avoid having a phone.
If you want to talk about fairness, imagine the guy who started near the bottom, made his way out of dire circumstances, climbed to the top through hard work and perserverance sacrificing his 20s and 30s (all while his friends sat around smoking weed, having families, enjoying life) and now someone like you comes along and takes ~50% of what he makes, in order to give it to those guys he knows did nothing to earn it.
For me as well.
This discussion plus recent 'kernel should use github or similar" articles recently makes me think about sponsors.

Less information is better?

That would be a bit of a paradox in science. I suppose we might take 2 steps forward and 1 step backward in the short term. As medical science advances, hopefully we can address any shortcomings from the additional early knowledge.

I noticed that pancreatic is on the list. This cancer is almost always fatal because we can't detect it early.
This is a question of gameplay. You could build entire games around escaping from prisons that people would totally enjoy playing. There have been far simpler ideas that people play even after a decade. Heck if you do it the right way I could see players want to go to prison just to play the escape thing.

So there is nothing inherent to the topic that makes or breaks this. On an very abstract level it is something that forces you into a different kind of gameplay as a punishment. Whether that different kind of gameplay is engaging or boring is a different can of beans.
Cool, so how do you pay for food and rent?

This is a very well known problem for many kinds of screenings, and the solution is not as simple as you claim.

You can't just repeat the test, that is generally not where the problem lies. You'll get a second positive result and still don't know if it's a false positive or not.

And in many cases there aren't other non-invasive test you can perform. If you can't actually determine reliably if some anomaly will cause trouble before removing it, whole population screening will cause unnecessary operations.
Utterly wrong. You are conflating current technology like MRIs and CT scans that only detect lumps, to blood tests that detect CANCER.

Yes, if every lump were treated and excised then it would be problematic. But CANCER is different. The only cancer that you might be able to leave alone is prostate because it grows so slowly. Everything else is a risk.

And if we can treat cancer at early stage 1, then maybe people won’t be as afraid of it because it has such a high rate of cure. We don’t know that until we do it.
> will lead to a lot of unnecessary intervention and will in fact lead to a reduction in quality of life and lifespan

That's a wild assumption that every cancer will be acted upon in the same manner as a stage IV even in the nascent state...

Given the quality of healthcare and the desire to not be sued for malpractice, it's a fair concern.
That's been my experience with people I've met from Facebook. The conversations are never all that memorable to put it lightly.
I would really like to use TeXmacs for preparing linguistic publications, which may include multilingual text. TeXmacs does not seem to support Unicode combining diacritics. E.g. when I paste `бе́ля` in a TexMacs document, the accent is rendered as a full-width character between `е` and `л`, no matter which font I choose. Typing `⌘' e` (Latin `e`, not Cyrillic as above) renders `é`, but it does the job only for precomposed Unicode characters known to TeXmacs. OpenType `gpos` table has (e.g. in Times New Roman) a `mark` feature, specifying a "base" mark-to-base anchor point on Cyrillic vowels and a "mark" mark-to-base anchor point on U+0301 (combining acute accent), so the renderer can position the mark correctly above the preceding character. However, TeXmacs reimplements most of font rendering instead of reusing Harfbuzz which implements countless script-specific shaping quirks using OpenType tables. IMHO it's a Sisyphus' job.

Every developer I know has at one time or another released a vulnerable app. There is always the intention to go back and fix it later, but I have never seen that happen.
Nothing I’ve suggested implies a compromise of valid interests; any reasonable security posture assumes that an employee-held workstation is, managed or otherwise, an attack vector whose access must necessarily be quite limited.

As for asymmetries of power, that’s up to you to assess for yourself and your own well-being, as to what you’re willing to cede to someone else. Don’t be weak.

And-by the same token (no VPN pun intended)-if your employment relationship is not based on some degree of trust, you’ve already lost.

That seems extremely unlikely. It says 85% of pregnant women are at risk. Only half as many people own cats.

Strong recommendation for Energy and Civilisation: A history [1] as a good introduction to the topic.

Basically we in a transition from the oil age into the electricity age and specifically we are now seeing prime movers transition from being powered by oil (ICEs) to electricity (electrical motors).

Think about what changed going from draft animals to steam and from steam to oil (e.g. you can’t make airplanes using a steam engine). What is fundamentally different between ICEs and electric motors? What new ways of transporting good does this engender?

Yeah I can only take that channel in small doses, but I've heard the recipe works well.
> One contributing factor I don't see people mentioning is that management tends to be absolutely fixated on things that can be easily measured. You can measure timeliness of releases or number of clients or cash flow, but you can't easily measure security, customer or developer satisfaction. With the end result that the things that are important but not easily measurable are getting little to no meritorical discussion.

I am 100% on your team here, but I do want to point out that what is important to developers is rarely considered important by the business, more that it's a cost of working with developers. There is no objectively correct "Most important" since there are entirely different priorities and perspectives at play.

At some point, liability notwithstanding, you get left with no choice. If someone wants to sink their company with bad software, regardless of how loudly I tell them that's what they're doing, I really have no choice but to hand them the drill and leave them to it.

Even if you detect cancer you will still need a biopsy to figure out which bits are the cancer and which bits are just 'lumps'.

Yes, it is a game changer, but it is not the kind of game changer that this is being made out to be here and mass screening using this method is not going to lead to improved outcomes.

As an extra tool in the toolbox of the diagnostician it is very useful.

The comment you are commenting on literally(yes really) starts with blaming Brexit.

I understand the sentiment, but the reality of the situation is if your WD device is hacked while on your home LAN network, you have a much bigger security problem than where your data isn't.
Yeah sorry for being cryptic. It's 20 years compounding at 7% per year. Scenario one: take your starting investment, subtract 20% for taxes, then do the compound growth. Scenario two: take your whole starting investment, do the compound growth, then subtract 20% of the result.

It's totally possible that I missed modeling some part of the situation that somehow makes more money from the Roth way of doing things. But the models above produce the same results.

Lots of problematic assumptions in your reply.

>If finding something that otherwise carries no symptoms is best left untreated, then the fact that you found it should make no difference to the decision. The doctor should say that the best course of action is to do nothing. More information can never be harmful.

Absolutely and demonstratively false. There is an entire field of health policy that destroys this harmful idea. First of all, just because something doesn't carry symptoms NOW doesn't mean it won't carry symptoms LATER, but doctors can't always predict this and aren't perfect decision making machines. Many times the patient will push them for further tests and treatment (or the doctors will advocate for it to ease the mind of the patient) which leads to potential harm from unnecessary treatments. And this is just ONE of the ways patients are harmed by unnecessary screening. There is also the psychological damage of having a condition you wouldn't have otherwise known about, and living with that knowledge (take aneurysms for example). Psychological stress has a real physical toll on the body. Then there's the COST associated with unnecessary screening and treatments, which (especially in the US) can run into the thousands quite easily for even simple interventions as a result of unnecessary screening.

Even after that, a screening process can also find something that could be bad, but in some patients doesn't actually decrease their lifespan or quality of life. If we have no way of adjudicating between these cases or predicting which cases will end up bad if left untreated at the present moment, what do you think will happen? People will ask to be treated anyway, and iatrogenics will rear its ugly head.

You cannot ASSUME that screening is automatically good. It must PROVE itself as such in a randomized clinical trial. This trial must show that people live longer and/or better as a result of this intervention. In many well documented cases, this turns out NOT to be the case, which entirely destroys your original rebuttal.
>If you get a positive with an uncertainty in its accuracy, at the very least, the test is repeated. But even more, you can use the information from the investigation of the reason for the false positive to improve the tests in the first place.

This assumes that the false positive is caused randomly. That's not the case. False positive tests are usually followed by false positive tests. Then it will take years to find out if it was a false positive or not.
Anyone who thinks that this fixes education is crazy or insincere. It potentially raises just as many questions as answers. What it should do is relieve pressure from poorer communities though. It also does open the door to pass future education initiatives at the state level which require funding, which can improve education.

But the problems with education are more systemic than just the educational system itself. That said, its good that the state pick up its constitutional responsibility to fully fund education in the state.

Looking through the FAQ, It seems like Rally requires users to send their raw data straight to the aggregation service, with the only privacy guarantees being that the data is encrypted during transport, and a "promise" that they will run internal audits to make sure private data isn't released from their servers.

IMO this seems to provide worse privacy than even Google and Micro$oft's telemetry, which at least use differential privacy to make sure that each individual's privacy is somewhat protected (the data you send is randomised so even if the aggregator is compromised by a malicious third party (e.g. NSA) individuals have some degree of plausible deniability).

Sure, Mozilla's intentions may be more "pure" (or is that just their propaganda speaking?), but in terms of privacy guarantees this seems like it is a strict downgrade, that abuses their goodwill to hide its deficiencies.
I understand the overhead, but it seems like bundling lots of unrelated cleanup fixes into one large commit would make it easier to sneak in something nefarious.
