It is tone-deaf. You seem to be regaling it as an inconvenience or problem that Zuckerburg has. It's not an inconvenience, it's a personal bodyguard that he alone has. If he changes devices, he has a team to allow him to log into it. How is that relevant?

The rest of us don't get that. If someone hacks our account and changes our password, the majority of us have little hope of really getting FB's attention to help us fix it.

The point about popular accounts getting 10000x the number of abuse reports is much more relevant.
"Total paranoia" might be overselling it a bit. "Total skepticism", that is, "presumed bullshit until otherwise substantiated" is much more reasonable, and it can be applied to all media sources, legacy and otherwise.
My point up-thread was that this tier of service used to be more or less the de facto standard of service that you would get for a standard, not a premium, fee. Over time, it has deteriorated and is now the domain of specialty car hire services. I'm not sure that that's a good thing.
Each OTK is a Curve25519 key (or ed25519 key, i forget) - so 32 bytes. So 100 takes up 3.2KB of storage on each client for the private keys, and the same on the server for the public keys, so it's not a big concern :) We could do bigger pools, but it's just punting the problem.

There is collateral damage here, taxpayers paying the social expenses meant to be paid by Uber and the unemployment money and services for the taxi drivers pushed into unemployment by the Uber money burning scheme for predatory pricing practices is something that is not mutually agreed upon with the governments.

So the government imposed a bit of a less radical change, as predatory pricing consists of predating(done) and recoupment(not happened yet). This is the legal term for Microsoft embrace, extend, extinguish practice.
Same, I never had Windows Update change defaults. This is one of those urban legends that is only very loosely based in fact (KB3135173 back in 2016 indeed had a bug that reset defaults, afaik it never happened since) but keeps persisting.

It's the same with ads; everyone claims Window 10 shows ads but I never saw any ads and I doubt it even has the capability of downloading and displaying random ads. It does occasionally show "recommendations" for using its apps (like Edge or Teams) and I guess if you squint really hard you could call those "ads", but I never saw an actual advertisement for some 3rd party website or product or anything of the sorts.

Yes, Windows 10 is bloated and the fact MS refuses to release a SKU with fully opt-out telemetry is bad, but this kind of hyperbole rubs me the wrong way.

I was also vague about other things because they're secondary concerns to the main one. If Amazon stops trying to be in total control of Rust, I'll be happy.

seems to me like the real problem is the burden of knowledge required to intuit how C++ compilers will or won't optimize the code you write. I know this has been an ongoing refrain for years now but this sort of thing has driven me away from using C++ personally. I wish there was a better syntactic system for denoting where you do and don't want certain optimizations to be applied.
The hardware (ML chips, failsafe systems, LIDAR, radar, cameras, other sensors) isn't cheap. I'd expect an autonomous car to cost at least 5k-10k more if mass produced at a similar scale, and probably more than that in practice due to smaller numbers. Plus R&D of course.

> preemptively turning away non-vaccinated covid patients to maintain that minimum availability.

Hospitals aren't going to turn away patients while they have open beds, period. Triage isn't about making moral judgments to favor future patients who may or may not be more deserving than someone in the ICU right now.

Regardless, it wouldn't work. The moment hospitals made being vaccinated a requirement for receiving care (which is horrific and would never happen), every single unvaccinated COVID patient would simply lie and say they were vaccinated. Hospitals aren't going to send critical patients home to come back with their vaccination cards before receiving care. The more you incentivize patients to lie in order to receive treatment, the worse things get.

This could work in what I'll call a Fowlerian model for software development. This means that the code has superb unit testing and coverage; and that functionality is protected behind feature toggles rather than as artifact deployment.

That model has its advantages - but requires a mature and disciplined team behind it to not mess everything up and write crap and talk about it later (if at all). Functionality is exposed when the feature toggle is enabled - not when the CD system deploys it.

I would have trouble with exposing new functionality without a review of any sort - even on my own (perfect) code.

This can work in that Fowlerian ideal and possibly in the consultancy that he works for where it's got a mature and disciplined team. The issue is that I've found it to be rare where that sort of maturity and discipline exists - and that the developers aren't under a schedule pressure that has them submit less than ideal code to be fixed up later.

"Hey! It complies! Ship it!" is meant to be humorous.
> This is a terrible idea. Who are you to stop other people from providing for their family?

I said leave a fortune, not an inheritance. A trust that provides a safety net? Sure. A billion dollar football team? Nope.

> Besides, rich people have options. Wouldn't they just move their families and their wealth to a country that's not going to rob them?

Given how much the super wealthy pay in taxes, this is essentially already the case. IMO they should either have to pay the same as everyone else, or not be allowed to do business here.

> Countries with human rights, freedom, and capitalism attract capable and talented people. Countries that restrict freedoms and take away people's stuff motivate the most capable and talented people to escape, and are left with people who have no better options.

The point of capitalisms is you're motivated by self interest, but that self interest makes the world a better place for everyone. If you inherit 100 million when you're 20, what motivation do you have to do anything with your life?

> Countries can stop people from escaping by force, but is that a kind of place you'd like to live in?

If they want to leave, they can leave. If they want to keep their US citizenship, they can't hold on to empire's past the term of their life.

Used to be you knew that in-person meetings were going badly when you had three people showing up with laptops working on other things during the meeting.

In a remote meeting it's very hard to tell what people are doing in the background. I'm finding myself missing things because I'm bored and working on something else, and so far I've only gotten as far as the problem statement.
Why should everybody who can illegally enter another country automatically become a citizen of that country?
> I'm surprised more countries aren't just nationalizing things that are a drain.

Ask India, Pakistan, and Banglades how the era of mass nationalisations went for them in the seventies.

It went nowhere. In each respective country, the two decades of economic progress since the independence was undone.

It's a very remarkable test case for how nationalisation worked in three drastically different economies: relatively free market Pakistan, a socialism-lite India, going more hardcore, and a post-war blank sheet economy of Bangladesh.
Doctors and medical personnel don't have unlimited amounts of specialized equipment, facilities, and personnel. They have to be able to perform triage and make decisions about how best to allocate those resources. Medical personnel at mass casualty events, for example, may 'Black Tag' [0] people whose injuries are so severe that they will not survive, and it would be a misuse of resources to provide more than cursory pain management for them. And those people are arguably less 'at fault' than those who chose not to get vaccinated against a pandemic.

As the GP says, this probably refers to the practice of having short pithy statements to guide decision making. That is, AWS uses "Tenets" to help guide their decision making, Niko found that useful and wanted to do the same thing for Rust.

The post you linked to above links to a YouTube video[1] where he describes where the principles came from: some "design tenets" he came up with to help guide design of the async feature in Rust. Later he realized that they weren't specific to the async work, but were more about Rust in general. There has since been a lot of iteration involving others in the Rust community, and he's no longer calling them tenets.

And really, if you actually read the principles themselves, do they really sound like they're based on the design tenets that AWS uses? They sound an awful lot like principles that the Rust community has been using, but never articulated before. Maybe some more iteration is necessary, but it doesn't look very sinister.

It's not a simple definition, but I'd start with:

- Ivy league pedigree

- Rich parents

- Generally in professions where "connections" matter most (finance, private equity, politics, etc.)

A simple litmus test is "would they be here without access to special connections". Would George W. Bush ever have been president without his family names? (Would he even have made it into his Ivy league school?) How many people in finance really worked their way up from the bottom?

On a related note, I find it really frustrating that I can't just select a default text editor. I even want to use a MS product, VS Code, but there is not really an easy way to tell Windows to use VS Code for all text files.

Really what I would like is a two step association list. Be able to specify what category a particular file type is under (i.e. text file, web browser file, etc.) as well as specifying which text file or web browser should be used in general. Obviously many file types only need a direct association with an application, but that is not always the case and as is the case with text files, it may not be possible for an application installer to know all extensions it needs to associate with itself.
I'd say "wrongly so". The right answer is somewhere in the middle, leaning to "contractor". Drivers literally never have to even show up. The flexibility offered by contractor status is the #1 benefit to drivers.

The actually experienced IFR/CFR depends on availability and quality of medical care, right?

I don't have a cite, but I feel like I remember people suggesting (whether based on something other than their imagination I don't recall) up to 5% IFR if no medical care was received, perhaps because medical system had collapsed under demand?

But in general of course what you say seems right, and I appreciate your well-informed discussion contribution, thanks.
To clarify, the man didn't literally drive to 43 different hospitals. He was at a hospital that ran out of ICU beds. The patient's family claims the hospital called 43 different hospitals asking them to accept an ICU transfer, but could only find an open ICU bed in nearby Mississippi:

> It was so difficult, his family wrote this month, that the hospital in his hometown of Cullman, Ala., contacted 43 others in three states — and all were unable to give him the care he needed. DeMonia, who was eventually transferred to a Mississippi hospital about 200 miles away,

Note that the specific number (43) comes from an anecdote from the patient's family, not from official hospital spokespeople. Take it with a grain of salt.
None of these is something that can be fixed in ten minutes. Being unvaccinated can, though.

My father was on a kidney waiting list for a little over a year. His physician told him that if they were to learn that he had even one alcoholic drink while he was on the list, he'd be moved to the end (he had no history of alcohol misuse, this was just kidney donor boilerplate). So it would appear that lifestyle factors can figure into these medical decisions, although it's not a moral judgment.
> Expecting users in hundred-person group chats to manually verify each other individual user's keys is nonsensical.

Maybe this could be helped if Matrix clients supported OpenPGP encryption which allows for key signing/web of trust? Some XMPP clients already have OpenPGP support, it would be nice to one day be able to send encrypted messages to Matrix users.
This may be a naive question, but isn't that a problem with the content reporting system itself? That it requires blanket exceptions?

Popular users are going to have more false-positive reports than others, but when those reports deviate from the norm on individual pieces of content (say a nude photo) then the system should still be able to pick it up. It's an exercise in feature extraction.

The login blanket exception (for the CEO of the company) is a different use case and purpose than content control, one that blanket exceptions can solve efficiently.
If only there was something that could prevent this
