The former is probably not a big deal if you have to press a button -- nor would it require an eula clause I would expect, you could be informed of the data collection at the time you'd press the button.

The latter though? Somehow the industry got by for decades without intimately knowing what version every single user of the software was running. I think they'll survive without it.

Anyways, how is it "petty" to make a version of the software for which there is clear demand? No one stomped on their birthday cake, they just took an OSS piece of software and modified it, compiled it, and released it. In what world is there any malice in doing the exact thing an open source license exists to allow you to do?

This distorted sense of reality is already visible in Google's algorithms. Search for "men can" or "women can" on google home page, only to find "men can have periods", "men can get pregnant". Rather than have ML models trained on data that respresents the reality of something, the data is changed or the model is changed to spit out this distorted reality that doesnt exist in the model or data...
No because going "on site" means you will lose 1h each way commuting and will have to pay MUCH more to live in a small place.

Then take 10h total commuting time in a week. Times 4 it is 40h hours by month.

Working remote means you get a whole week only for yourself plus lower cost of live.

When you always did commute and think that it was normal you did not realize it.

But now several people are like:

1. Why I should waste all this time commuting?

2. Why I should drink bad coffee and lunch when I have the best spresso and food at my home?

3. Why I should live in a bad neighborhood while I can live in a very good working remote?

After almost 2 years we can see we can work remotely and we are not looking forward for "stand up meetings" or office politics.

I'm not sure what you mean, these laws aren't strictly concerning telemetry. Did you mean that telemetry is bad because children under 13 years old could accidentally use it? If so, that's the purpose of the law -- to prevent that. You can sue a company that is found to be unlawfully collecting data on children.

Isn't what exactly what who is saying?

The insurer seemed to be acknowledging that the formal rule about the captain exists, while claiming that's not the end of the discussion about responsibility.

That suggests to me that quoting the rulebook isn't really an adequate response to the original question of why isn't it the pilot's fault. It's the position of the SCA, by definition.

I guess we will never know though, what was agreed on, because it was settled in private.

Something similar has been my best idea as well:

If I was suddenly magically in charge of the investigation to figure out what was really happening I'd probably continue all existing lines of inquiry anf then as secretly as possibly also try to hire a team of magicians and known inventors of magic tricks and ask them to try to reproduce it.

After all, Clarkes third law says:

- Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic

and a variation says:

- Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from a rigged demo

Am I serious? Oh yes, world class magicians have decades of experience in fooling multiple keenly interested observers and at least certain "sensor platforms" (i.e. top of the line cameras) simultaneously.

> The general point of ML ethics is that a machine learning system should not reinforce bias caused by historically biased training data.

When I think of "biased training data", I think of data that systematically misrepresents reality. Like say taking the prevalence of news reports as a proxy for the prevalence of what's being reported on.

In contrast, the AI ethics people seem to use that term to mean data that doesn't reflect just (as opposed to unjust) causality.

I think there's a deeper issue, which is summed up in the saying "when a measure becomes a target, it ceases to be a good measure": simple correlation-finders - which is what current ML/AI models are - are not fit for the purpose of building control loops. And the "ethics" people are trying to paper this over by manually fixing up all the correlations that people notice aren't (or shouldn't be) casual.

The thing about demographics is that it doesn't matter what your fertility rate is now, it matters what it was 20 years ago. The fact is that China's largest cohort turns 31 this year, while it's current military age cohorts are half its size, and shrinking. The cohort turning 18 this year is the smallest since the Great Leap Forward. The next cohort with 10 million males is currently 5 years old, and it is an anomalous blip with the most recent cohort being 20% smaller and near future cohorts undoubtedly to be smaller still due to the decreasing size of their parental cohorts.

Your population in their 20s are your soldiers, your baby makers, your first home buyers, your 80 hour a week workers, your pop culture consumers - a sharp drop in their numbers is catastrophic for a nation's geopolitical and economic health. Combined with China's baby boom about to enter their 60s, when their economic productivity will substantially decline and their medical costs will skyrocket, to be supported primarily by weak cohorts 20 years younger it is a terrible position to be in. On top of this, the People's Republic of China is currently 72 years old, for context Russia went 74 years from the abdication of the Tsar to the fall of the Soviet Union, and the average lifetime of China's 49 dynasties has been 70 years. 65 to 75 years is approximately how long the revolution remains in living memory, how long people are still alive who personally remember how bad the previous regime was and thus continue to excuse any faults of the current regime. Once it passes out of living memory, calls for reform become far more intense. This triple whammy is imminent and inescapable.

For China to survive, it will have to deal with a shortage of manpower, a dramatic increase in the cost of social services, severe economic contraction, and the reforging of a national identity all at the same time, with a reduced sized military, a large number of young unmarried males with poor prospects, all while under severe external pressure along all fronts. This will be a rough decade for China.

Those are my needs, not the software's. The software has no needs. And if I don't mind the bugs and aren't interested in "improvements," I'm not actually concerned with the software's feelings.

When I say this, I'm assuming I'm not talking about networking software, but if you had your way, every piece of software on my computer would be networking, and reporting my usage (however it opaquely defines that) to strangers. I don't want to have a lifelong relationship with the person who wrote the sudoku program I installed from my distro's repo. I really don't want to get owned five years from now because that person needed to "improve" it when I didn't ask.

It’s not correct to say that our DOT standards are out of date. In fact there is some debate about the Snell standard vs the DOT standard. The area is around the helmet impact rating. A higher rated impact helmet is generally more rigid and will potentially cause brain injury at lower speeds. Essentially for helmets you trade-off high speed impact survivability vs low speed injury protection. The claim of many riders, myself included is that crashes happen at lower speeds and thus a less rigid helmet is likely more optimal. Having said that there have been significant advances in helmet design in last few years that address low speed impact as well as meet the Snell standard. They do this by reducing the transfer of rotational energy on the user.

See for example (6D helmet manufacturer):
https://youtu.be/B6jI0w5UFLs

Having said all that a helmet without a chinstrap, such as this one, is basically like not wearing a helmet at all. In a crash, the helmet isn’t going to stay on. If the helmet doesn’t stay on, it’s not going to do anything.

Hey,

Was a similar situation, i committed to a career and committed to it, started at the bottom in 2013, and as of 2020, made director with 2 levels of managers. Definitely some luck involved here.
i hated work, became disinterested quickly - and had spend 9 years in 7 different jobs - software(2), finance (3), non-profit (1), consulting (1). There is no happy job - because it requires great pay, boss, co-workers, company and family. At that point, i decided that i was smart enough to find a new career, and wanted to move to a place that has the most number of the jobs and paid the most in the career i wanted.

i changed my goal to making enough money to retire quickly. i recognized that i am living a dopamine fueled life - going from one hit to another (in all my jobs i was given the toughest projects and i was able to pull it off) - while it can be a strength, the dependence is the problem.

From your background -
1. You are quick at learning
2. Have confidence to take risk

Going forward, identify the main goal that you really care about and focus, finding a new job/career is a by-product. Now, you also must recognize that spending years in a single career and field gets you pay growth. That new career/jobs, which is likely to be a function of the past skills / careers/ jobs, needs to be lucrative, and has great prospects. Talk to people who are already there and find out if it is worthwhile investing 10 years into. And then commit. Learn how to sell your past career as a strength - lots of jobs looking for people who want a "new challenge" or a "change".

You will do well because you have the strengths that are likely to make you successful. Along the way you are likely to make connections and make new friends.

Lots of comments asking you to join tech in some capacity - not a bad idea at all. More important is to commit. Hav known many folks who started learning development and ended up six figure base salaries.

All the data is encrypted so it doesn’t matter where they are storing it. Using multiple service providers (Google, Amazon, their own servers, etc) might actually be beneficial because it eliminates one point of failure, especially if they replicate data in a smart way to take advantage of it. It might also speed up access to data.
By grouping them you need to include aggregate functions like avg,max,min,sum,count for measure and dimension.

We need to go massively net-negative - agreed.

But it doesn't follow that we need to e.g. reduce petrol consumption to zero.

Squeezing out that last one or two percent is going to be much harder than just moving on and looking for gains elsewhere.
I should have written it as an option, not a solution. WFH will permit many people who dont like where they live, but have to be there for their job, to move away. This will reduce real estate costs and will permit people to buy larger homes near the cities they want to be in. Perhaps large enough to have their own home offices that they can then use to WFH if they choose.

WFH is win win I unless your income depends on being a landlord/real estate investor.
How much would you pay to store such amount data?

8TB hard drive is about 200 dollars nowadays, so this amount of data is about 200m dollars worthy of retail hard drives.

Ofc the calculation is super inaccurate, which doesn't take redundancies into consideration, and discounted prices for someone like Google to purchase hardware, plus the discount for Apple as a big customer. But had the scale be comparable, in which case, Apple is paying Google billions per year to handle the data storage for itself, doesn't sound quite news worthy IMO, pretty price efficient even.

Edit: Previously stated 1.6B -> 200m

There was a great app a few years back called Circa that let you subscribe to a news item. When there were story updates they would give the new facts as an update.

After that shut down my solution was to stop caring about being up to date.

It’s a bit of an open secret among big tech that Apple is a huge user of storage on all major clouds.

For a country dependent on US controlled shipping lanes to obtain food and oil, as well as dependent on the rest of the world's financial system to keep their population employed, it's a bit ludicrous to think of them blockading anyone. China is the one who is vulnerable to a blockade - it's not even food independent.
This is so much on the point.
> But drill isn’t popular. It’s widely seen as boring. Worse, there’s a body of opinion, especially in education, that considers it an ineffective way to practice. That’s a shame, because it’s the most effective way to build your skills.

This resonated with me as I watch my kids go through school.

Math used to be taught with more drill style. Now with common core every single problem is an epic quest of 10 frames and double pluses. It seems so ridiculous. I'd rather them crush a worksheet of 20 problems that practices a single skill then 2 problems that try to include everything from reading to drawing just for a simple subtraction problem.
