The debate on who has control over data typically creates two parties: the individual user who it is related to, and the corporation providing the platform or product.

We ought to add another party: the public. Perhaps data should be able to be used for the public good, and we should be able to participate in deciding what data is collected and how data is used.

In this case, having data about what ads are seen, by whom, and why they see those ads, seems like it could lead to us better understanding how FB and other companies algorithms are segmenting the population and how certain ideas proliferate within those segments. This seems beneficial to the public, since as we've seen over the last 5 years or so, these platforms and the way they choose what information we see can have drastic effects on the economy, politics, etc. If I had a choice, I would choose to continue collecting data about the behavior of advertisers and the platforms that serve them for that kind of analysis. But we don't have a choice, because facebook "owns" that data.

A number of people in this thread have referenced Cambridge Analytica. When Facebook does choose to share data with other parties, we have no say over what data is shared with them or what they may do with it. We don't even get a choice in how Facebook internally uses our data. Instead of democratizing the decision of what data is collected and how it is used, the FTC applied the rules of private property and fined FB for lack of privacy.

The public got nothing out of that situation. Facebook now is more defensive of their ownership over our data, which also precludes us using it for the public good.

> What sort of things will health checks be used for in the future? Once Covid is gone (…)

Will it be gone? As far as I understand, the Delta variant remains contagious even among vaccinated people, so it will likely stay around. Now that there’s vaccines, it’s just less dangerous (to the vaccinated). But any system of health checks you set up now could stay in place for a long time.

> The Mets won't care if you got your flu shot this year

The flu shot is a pretty interesting example. People die all the time because others didn’t get their flu shot. Where I live only half of the healthcare workers get it. The Mets could save lives by requiring that their patrons get it. And yet we don’t get very worked up about these jabs. Maybe covid showed us that we should? I don’t know, but it shows that covid isn’t some unique phenomenon, and that the way we deal with will have repercussions how we deal with other health issues going forward.

To deorbit a LEO object, adding drag is viable. The original launcher could add activatable drag items, balloons, inflatable streamers - in the stowed flat state = low drag. Deployed and inflated by a material that evaporate/sublimed it could be made to multiply drag by 10x or so. In the lower orbits this would hasten decay. Higher orbits - not so much. That will need added drive power. Most efficient is a solar cell package with a directable array that powered retro force of rocket (ion jet) of small size, but running a lot of the time. LEO = hard to avoid shade, but while the sun shines the persistent drag will lower the orbit = the lower the better and at some point it will be torn off just before it piles in.
The so called gravity tug concept is not at all viable. Mating and a solar powered ion drive is the only good way.
It was demonized because of the vast quantities contained in many processed foods but you're right and to add to that you'll die much quicker from a lack of salt than from excess salt.

Thanks very much for the heavily referenced post. As an aside, I built the prototype of this last year in a vacuum without knowing any passwordless solutions other than FIDO2 systems. My cofounder disabused me of the notion that this was a totally novel concept. I'd never heard of gazepass or sawolabs before and now feel even less original :). That said, I think you recognize the differences between our system and those two, so I won't get in to those details unless you want me to.

Agreed, device continuity is the #1 challenge for truly passwordless systems. The Google/Apple cloud backup system we're currently on is a compromise to deliver a seamless UX for mass audiences in the majority of device transition cases. As soon as a user sets up their new phone using an iCloud / Google backup of their old phone, they will have Keyri private keys already embedded in their restored apps. Developers, optionally, can require users to input a PIN/passcode in order to restore the keys following a backup restoration.

For the minority of cases in which this cloud-backup-based device transition does not work smoothly, companies can offer customer support lines, which, as mentioned in another reply, will be far less busy than "forgot my password" CS lines, thereby making social engineering easier to detect.

Again, while not ideal, as mentioned in another reply, the current solution is based on Keychain (iOS) / KeyStore (Android), which are rather secure and private, and compromise of those systems entails... a really bad day for the victim given they're associated with saved passwords, emails, text messages, photos, etc.

And yes, we definitely plan to maintain our own cloud backup service. That is really hard to architect in a way that's both secure and frictionless, so we'll be designing that for some time. Evervault and scrt.network are great references - thank you.

Vaccine requirements have been in place for decades.
For pre-K in NYC kids need shots for PCV and Hib.

For kindergarten they need more shots: Hep B, Polio, Chickenpox, and Measles, Mumps and Rubella.

Going to middle school? Then you'll need more shots, the TDAP and meningococcal conjugate.

These are all vaccine requirements. Is it an invasion or privacy to demand children's records? Is it the nanny state? We could go down that road, but who wants to live in a world where we lose herd immunity to all of those diseases because 30-40% of people choose to opt their children out?
After a recent Windows 10(Pro) update it tries to guide you through setting up a bunch of stuff and pretty much signs you up for the 365 trial. My guess is that's what happened.
Not only are they not recyclable, but there's a water cost, energy cost, and a pollution cost to making them. Obviously the fate of humanity doesn't depend on what we do with our coffee cups. But in my opinion the best solution is to have people bring their own cups and just reuse them, and unfortunately only a small percent of people do that.

Back in grad school, to get people to bring their own cups more often, we had the idea to leverage the concept of loss aversion, inspired by the grocery bag "ban" in Los Angeles:

If coffee cost $1.10, instead of giving a $.10 discount for bringing your own cup, we'd lower the price of coffee to $1.00 and charge an extra $.10 for the cup that you forgot to bring.

It turned that another student at Tufts had had the same idea, actually implemented the pilot program at their Tower Cafe, and got great results. Same level of reduction that you get from charging people to bring their own grocery bags.

So with the proof of concept, student surveys, theory behind the idea, etc. we put together the proposal. Six months later we presented to the leadership of the dining program. But the person in charge vetoed it. Her reasoning? "This idea just makes me cringe." And that was the end of it.

I believe this is an idea with long legs and I'm still willing to work on it. Maybe someday soon.

You can read the presentation here: https://a.tmp.ninja/WXcXxXh.pdf (I just picked a random filehosting service, let me know if there's something better out there.)

By the way, everything we know about cup recyclability, Starbucks also knows (and knew in the 1990s). And, if I recall correctly, they knew also knew that providing a discount for bringing your own cup _did not_ increase the rate at which people did it. (If there's enough interest I'll dig up the paper, and I can check if my memory serves me right.)

Unfortunately there hasn't been a lot of pressure on Starbucks to change. This, in my opinion, is not a problem that should be solved with good faith alone, but rather with some kind of tax/fine that applies to all players in the game. Kind of the like the bag ban and grocery store chains.

I'm particularly fond of the "charging for cups" idea because you can then use that money to fund recycling or waste cleanup programs.
Ok. But why would I want to?

Honestly I expect diet doesn’t matter that much unless you are trying to lose weight, except that eating lots of sugar is probably not good for you. Exercise is probably more important for long term health than what particular kinds of animals or plants you eat.
It's not even a question of "how bad". There was way too much PR given how immature the project was, at least at the time. I don't think the author had had a lot of experience as a language designer / compiler implementer when the project was started. One advertised feature of the compiler was its supposed simplicity, such as getting along without an AST. I doubt this was a good choice and I think they ended up adding one in.

In my perception it was mostly sold as a piece of engineering by PR like this (quote from OP): Cheapest server $160 $20 $3.50 [2]

So... I think I have 3 points.

First is worst. Looking back over a few generations, standard nutritional advice informing doctors, institutions and the public have been poor. Not only inaccurate, but de facto pushing people down bad paths. Low fat & low cholesterol labels led to foods, with processed foods with high sugar & many additives. Cereal instead of a boiled egg.

Second is that many norms, like the food pyramid hanging in classrooms during the 80s & 90s were based on long forgotten, often arbitrary decisions. Self correction was fatally weak. Challenging norms had a higher burden for proof than the norm had faced. Proof is really hard, it turns out.

Third is that "what's a healthy diet?" was never answered better by science than book gurus or old cultural understandings of nutrition. That is, a practicable, science based understanding of nutrition wasn't achieved. Lots of things about nutrition have been learned but it doesn't really add up to a Big Theory.

I think the real issue here is "what to do when we bust." Science doesn't predictably produce answers to questions we think it should answer. We discover what we discover. But, what do you do when hospitals, health ministries and such need scientific guidelines? IDK is not an acceptable answer. I do know is not a scientific one. "Lets not do science " doesn't (didn't?) work either. The only choice left is between a lie and a delusion. Postmodernism is inevitable.
Steam is back.
A high vaccination rate is most beneficial for poor and minority populations as they are by far the most exposed to the virus via work.
I took it to mean the total goes up by 100 a year (500 discovered for 400 fixed.) That would actually be pretty common in software and not as bad as it sounds if bugs are being fixed according to severity.
I eat astonishing numbers of eggs, and salt nearly everything heavily. My N=1 study shows its all good for you, letting you stay active for life with low cholesterol and no health issues.

It reminds me of the 100+ year old lady asked "What do you attribute your advanced age?" and she replied "Whisky and a cigar every day!" I wonder if she was in this study?

"We have no idea of the long term effects"

Perhaps you have no idea, but the people closest to this science, including the countless government agencies around the world that have given authorization, have a pretty good idea. The design and length of clinical trials is not arbitrary, but your personal idea of "long term" is arbitrary.
Ultimately, this is why we have regulation: because if behavior is allowed that lowers the cost to do business, businesses in a highly competitive space will eventually do it.

It's important to hold regulators responsible for policing these companies, because otherwise market forces will tend to drag quality-of-life down for employees.

(Whether no-poaching agreements should be considered price-fixing is a separate question, but assuming they are, they must be enforced or the end result is employee harm across the industry, because prices are a function of what the competitor will pay too).

Self-hosted is really cheap. So I guess it IS the proficiency signaling and the independence... but for me, those are well worth the cost.
The science around covid has been fluid this entire time. We aren't even sure if these vaccines will work against other covid variants in the future.

What makes anyone qualified to make decisions over someone else's choice of what they should put in their body? If the vaccines are effective, then you can make the choice if you feel comfortable getting them and then being around other people.

I don't even think people realize what they're saying when they say "most people aren't qualified to make decisions". I mean, seriously?

The death rate of covid for healthy individuals is still very low. Even lower if you're vaccinated. We should _not_ sacrifice personal choice in the name of public safety.

Give people the data and let them make their own choices.
I so forgot about this. Incredible.

Starbucks offered a discount for bringing your own cup for coffee.

The link between high sodium intake and elevated blood pressure is well documented. This is mostly because of the attempt of body systems to maintain isotonic balance.

There’s also a signficant portion of the population with a genetic predisposition to have above-average increases in blood pressure shortly after consuming large amounts of salt, to the point that it will even cause hypertension in some people that had otherwise normal blood pressure.

Salt -> elevated blood pressure -> complicating factor in pulmonary and cardiac disease.

I've had this exact same experience. Half-baked, unmaintainable features are launched. The developers get promoted and leave the team. The team is left to clean up and pay the consequences until development speed slows to a crawl.

The team isn't able to get promoted because they're busy doing boring, undervalued work. The engineers responsible for the mess ultimately end up ahead.

If your goal is to get promoted then clearly the best path is to take shortcuts and not act in the long-term interest of the team. You'll get promoted for it. If your goal is to build a product that won't be burdened in operations/maintenance then you have to move slowly, correctly, and you'll be setting yourself back.

This was my experience at a FANG.
