As opposed to the EU stance, where sharing personal data with US organisations has repeatedly been found in court to violate the data protection rules? That mostly seems to be because US law grants its government security agencies much the same intrusive powers to examine data as most EU governments grant theirs and EU law explicitly allows for in the latter case. There are reasonable discussions to be had about the necessity for such measures and the safeguards and transparency requirements that are appropriate if they are used, but objecting to international data transfers on this basis, as EU courts have repeatedly done, seems a bit hypocritical.

Because people treat libraries differently today than 30 years ago. We're used to the integration points for things being some form of blocking IPC (like dbus on GNU/Linux, COM, or syscalls) but libc is different.

libc is that service on the base OS. But rather than connecting to an OS service and passing messages back and forth you dlopen and setjmp to do the same thing. On GNU/Linux libc isn't an interface to the NSS service, libc is the NSS service. That fact that you access it via your linker is just an implementation thing.

The kernel itself actually exposes integration points this way too with lib-vdso! The kernel will actually just stick it's own routines in your programs memory space so that you can avoid the syscall overhead for certain calls.

AI are just automated data bias generators. Its really effective at enforcing existing policies, and at maintaining evil practices without laypeople being able to place blame due to obfuscation.

For example, imagine an AI being created in 1890's america, which would automatically arrest and prosecute people on its own, trained on court cases and data from that time.

How many people would it lynch ?
Hey sorry about the downvotes. I want you to know I appreciate the response.

So if the criticism were simply his comments (which I dont even know what they were, but let's just say they are disqualifying) there wouldn't be an issue. I am not ignoring because I don't think that matters--I am ignoring them because the author specifically says it's not about that.

But the byline of the article is "the media focus on Mike Richards' insensitive comments misses a deeper issue with the host search that "suggests the problem may not be just a bad branch, but a rotten root."

So even without his comments, he did not approve of Richards.

He spends a few paragraphs praising Jeopardy for being a leader in science and knowledge, and decrying anti-science and anti-history. I think if you look at the essay as a whole, it seems like Abdul-Jabbar associates the choice of a white man with regression on these fronts. It's one of those 'just another white guy' rants. As if we are all similar and replaceable. As if one white guy is the same as another.

I earnestly believe that if the roles were swapped this would be very eyebrow raising. Imagine I had an essay talking about how we need a smart host with a high IQ who is articulate. If I then decry the choice of a certain ethnicity, it feels like I am saying that ethnicity doesnt represent those values.

So let's cut the crap: he thinks that conservative white men are holding back society from progress. They are anti-intellectual deadweight clinging to the past. They are deplorables. Richards is just another, factory-produced white man inseparable from a sea of others. We cannot possibly represent diversity--because we are all identical. Whereas choosing a ethnic minority is a breath of fresh air that we can all rattle our pom-poms over.

Yes, I am reading between the lines here. But that's the same strategy that progressives use (and often it's correct. For instance, you cannot understand birtherisn without reading between the lines to understand it's just xenophobia.
> The latter policy really emphasizes to me that that there are a large number of people who do not want to change their behaviour in any way, and would much rather have a corporate scapegoat to point at.

I find this to be a fairly common perspective, when talking to Canadians online; and there's some data to support that it is[0][1].

The truth is that individuals are _hugely_ influential on carbon emissions, and changes to individual consumption, commuting, and so forth are necessary if we're to tackle climate change meaningfully. The Covid lockdowns made the impact of individuals irrefutably clear.[2][3][4]

My point was not at all that we non addicts are superior.

I was trying to make a methodological argument: If you only look at addicts, your data will say that addiction is inevitable. You need to look at the whole population, to see that some get addicted, and most people don't.

Then you can figure out how the groups are different and start to understand the casualties. I'm sure this has been done, but I haven't heard much about results.

I think your trauma theory very likely is part of it.
I'm just curious: when you say "I enjoy Sailfish very much" what does that entail? What does it mean to enjoy an OS.

I ask this because I find myself numerous times disappointed: after installing a new OS, there's mostly nothing "new" or outstanding to enjoy other than the few limited different features. After that, it's just the same old terminal and Chrome with the occasional trip to the file browser.

Utter garbage. Yes, Sweden has housing problems just like every other country in the Western world so that is no reason to conclude that rent control isn't working.

What happened in Stockholm, where I live, and other cities was that apartments owned by the municipality were sold to the tenants. The reason for this sale was ideological; the liberal politicians in charge thought it was "bad" for the municipality to own apartments and want to "privatize" the the housing market. This resulted in the tenants getting to purchase their apartments cheaply and those apartments later rose massively in value so the former tenants made huge profits by reselling them.

This naturally reduced the number of rental apartments and made the competition for them much stiffer. The people who couldn't afford to buy their own apartments had to compete with others in the same situation for the remaining rental apartments. Thus the rents for these apartments rose, but since they were rent controlled, they didn't rise as much as they "should have" (according to economists and landlords). Thus, a rental contract became an asset that could be resold for profit. This made it very hard to get hold of rental contracts since they are treated as assets that are always rising in value. If you have contract to an apartment in a nice neighborhood in Stockholm, you are never ever giving it up. If you don't live in the apartment you just rent it out second hand and you make a nice profit by gouging whoever is forced to rent it from you.

So "Mr Stark" is complaining about his high second hand rent. What he doesn't understand is that that is the rent he would have had to pay if there was no rent control. The landlord would rent out apartments to the highest bidder and the highest bid, 11 000 kr, happened to be his.

The problem is that more people want to live in city centers than there is space in city centers. So either you let landlords charge whatever they want, which quite obviously will lead to only rich people affording to live in city centers (and poor people in bad neighborhoods), or you distribute apartments according to some kind of queuing system, which quite obviously will lead to long waiting times. You can't solve this problem perfectly for everyone. Some people will not get to live in the most desirable areas and some people will have to live in the undesirable areas.
well I'd assume that one can also get more immunity thru more vaccine shots and it's a much less risky strategy (aka no virus that can self-replicate) than intentionally exposing oneself to the virus.
Great question. Only because we show technical debt, does not mean it gets solved. We are still learning with our first users how to approach these things.

Further down the road I can also see that consultants will find it useful to help their clients clean up their data pipelines and reduce complexity.
Norway, Denmark and Finland all have no rent control and at least in two of the three the bad places is close to the city center.

In Stockholm, it's completely the reverse. I think rent control and where poor people live has nothing in common. It's impossible to get an apartment in the Stockholm city centre if you want to rent it.

Especially when the cities lets immigrants cut the queue. Most wealthy people can afford the super expensive apartments and the medium wealthy can buy contracts illegally.

All you're doing with rent control is to give incentiment for people to hold on to their contracts no matter what, cheat the system or buy/sell contracts illegally. It is really widespread and landlords are making a lot of tax free money on it.

Even worse is the situation if you buy apartments, you cannot rent it out to whomever you want or for how long you want since you don't really own it. You only own a smaller piece in the economic foundation that owns all apartments and give you the right to live in it. They can require you to not rent it out or limit the timing to a couple of months increasing the instability of the second hand contracts. Also, if the economic foundation makes bad decisions and gets a bad economy they can be forced to sell the entire apartment complex and you'll loose the apartment to a presumably shitty price.

The only good way of owning your housing in Sweden is to actually own the entire property OR own one of the new types of "äganderätter" which are very few and far between.
> "The glue is a red herring."

No, it's the entire point.

Nobody is asking to go back to the older "easily removable" designs with dedicated battery compartments. The problem isn't the design of the batteries being multiple smaller cells spread around but rather that they are glued to the chassis. This makes them harder to remove than if they weren't.

To be extremely clear, take a 2021 Macbook and just don't glue the batteries inside to the casing. That's it, that's all there is to it.
That is incorrect. You own the physical piece of art, not the copyright to the art. if I own an original sketch by Charles Shultz of Charlie Brown, that doesn’t give me any rights to the character of Charlie Brown. If an author gives me a handwritten, first draft manuscript of a new novel, I may be able to sell that physical manuscript but it doesn’t give me any rights to the work itself.

> in regions with cheap hydro power, the miners can use so much power they end up making power more expensive for everyone.

Not if there are laws to keep electricity price within a range. In places like Canada electricity is not necessarily traded in public for-profit markets, and must by law stay below inflation. I agree that in can be a problem in (most of?) the US.

Overall, I share your concerns but feel they’re overstated. Mostly because I remember the bad old days of NS4, IE4-6, etc. The web as a set of reliable standards isn’t perfect but it’s worlds better than I ever anticipated.

Just as a matter of perspective: when I started web dev, I learned and used by rote dozens upon dozens of hacky incompatibility workarounds. I moved more backend in recent years, but have had more web work over the last year. I can count on one hand the number of browser compatibility issues I’ve had to address (yes, all Safari). And not because build tools are helping. If anything build tools are the biggest source of frustration for me now.

I don’t think anyone is saying that mindlessness should be banned or completely removed from a platform. But that it should not be pushed so heavily that it is edging out any kind of deeper engagement, or just non engagement.

All these services are competing for human attention, which there is only a finite amount. I think it is pretty obvious that this has resulted in more mindlessness, where apps are trying to fill every sliver of open attention with the most easily digestible little piece of data (a 10 second meme, a couple of comments, a 30 sec friend snap). Combined with apps and services trying to take your attention from other things through strategic notifications, this is the opposite of long term wellbeing.

Attention and focus for long periods of time is a skill. Delayed gratification is a skill. Both of those are needed for long term growth, developing other skills, and doing activities that are fulfilling but not immediately gratifying. Being surrounded by things that constantly and perniciously attempt to carve up your attention and provide instant gratification is detrimental to those skills.

Only 5 years sounds too good to me. In Zagreb, average price per m2 is about 2000 eur, and average monthly salary (in Zagreb) is little bit more than 1000eur which ia about 12000 eur per year. If you manage to save 20% you can get small 30m2 apartment in 25 years but most people go with credit loans which makes full repayment even longer.

Fair point on the reservoirs. Then I'd hope that thru vaccines, we train our immune system to get better and better at responding to the virus without having to take on the full viral load. I read an article a few months back describing how the immune system is like an info gathering machine, trying to catalog different threats that exist, and I dunno, I guess I just prefer to practice how to swim in a controlled pool than being tossed into the ocean.
That is a very interesting idea. As far as I understand, you generate the information purely read only.

Column statistics: Sample data randomly and calculate estimator from that.

Data Lineage/usage: From the queries (and 'similar' stuff like materialized views. It seems like that currenltly have only lineage on table level, i.e. which table depends on which tables. Do you plan to implement data lineage on column level, i.e. which column depends on which column? This sounds challenging and very interesting.

> and administrative mismanagement & bloat

Ding ding ding.

Universities managed to function (by some miracle) before the current explosion in support staff. It's doubly amazing because much of the work performed by support staff in the 1960's, 70's and 80's has been automated.

Some examples:

* The registar's office used to manage paper lists of students, and "signing up" for class meant showing up in person to write your name in ink. Your "permanent record" was a physical manila envelope with paper inside. That's all done in a web portal now.

* The bursar's office handled physical checks or cash for nearly everyone. Today almost virtually all payment is handled electronically.

* Professors (or their TAs) can now use a departmental copy/print machine to automatically create stapled exam packets instead of having an administrative assistant copy, collate and staple the exam.

Somehow, the enormous technology-driven increase in labor productivity, seen in all other sectors of the economy, has not impacted colleges and universities. That "somehow" is mismanagement and bloat.
>the laws of nature, such as supply and demand.

If someone on my team had built an application and put 100 hosts into a DNS server, I would suggest they upload their hosts file to a webserver someplace. 100 hosts just doesn't do anything useful with most applications using gethostbyname() even in glibc, it's going to be slow, and the bug reports you get are going to be really confusing. Custom applications that are prepared to deal with all 100 hosts will be easier to implement using the output from a webserver.

What are you doing?
It's not shareholders that I have a problem with, it's giving shareholders exclusive control of companies. They may seem like small tweaks, but you end up with a very different model.

> Which one do you buy? Can you smell the bloatware on them in the store?

This is why I prefer to shop online or at least do a quick search on the internet to show potential issues.

On the other hand, I would really prefer a requirement for products that are sold in a physical store to be reviewed by a government-run, independent organization on build quality and sustainability, and that this review be presented or easily accessible in a store next to the product.

We already have such a requirement in the EU for electricity usage of appliances, it could be extended to small electronic devices.
Mainly due to his implementation. He essentially uses it as a enhanced checklist. The specific pain points on my end are mainly focused around needed data on my end. It would be nice to have historical discussion of the issues, more room for repro steps, and don't even get me started on screenshot storage.

I think what I need to do is recognize that the spreadsheet is not for me and just a checklist for the PM. I need to use whatever system I see fit on my end and update the appropriate column in the spreadsheet when necessary.

Those two sections say nothing about getting "triaged to the bottom of the queue."

As far as "hospital revenue people intervening in care decisions," that doesn't mean people don't get care. It means they may not get super expensive treatments. That certainly may not be the best care, because, all the ER needs to do, legally, is ensure that the patient's condition is non-emergent before they discharge them, but it's completely unrelated to triage. It is, however, a predictable result of hospitals needing to make a profit.

Regulations do often work, and work well.

What doesnt work is what passes for regulation or legislation these days, written by some moron, that politicians attach to whatever bill or budget that is certain to pass. They barely reach the threshold of 'well intentioned' and would more charitably be described as vitue signaling or just spin.

You get to stand infront of the microphone and parrot off the 'This is a Win for the voters' but rarely has anyone read, understood or debated what is now a binding law or regulation, along with its unintended and at times intended consequences.
