The specific concern raised in the parent comment is about healthcare data leaks.

In my view, every company handling healthcare data should be responsible for keeping that data safe and having proper consent, regardless of whether the software is paid for by doctors or by iPhone users.

I don't think this viewpoint is absurd.

There's a kind of collective paranoid delusion here (I mean, on the Internet in general). When you start from the idea that they are all about to get you, it's easy to interpret anything as a confirmation of your suspicions. It is not easy to be rational with this sort of siege mentality, which is reinforced by the fact that non-technophiles do not seem to get it or take it seriously.

We've gone from a (unwarranted) radical techno-optimism to (just as unwarranted) general hostility. A consequence of that is the pervasiveness of this cynical, nihilistic mood, which quickly corrupts most discussions every time some subjects pop up. To some extent, these companies brought this onto themselves with some objectively despicable behaviours, but we are not doing ourselves any favours.

Yeah, with uBlock Origin installed it's actually bearable.
That is true, but to engage in a bit of semiotics: those cores are hardly the most appealing part of Lisp for most of the uses cases it's found. It certainly was one way to enable the interactivity and homoiconicty and metacircularity, but, as Clojure and Janet demonstrate, there are a lot of other aspects of Lisp that have value. And while one could (and some have, IIRC) built a Lisp on those minimal data structures that doesn't have parens, most people associate Lips with them being in the strange place.

Cons/car/cdr are far less important, IMO, than eval.

Read, on the other hand, is also technically missing from Janet, and I personally don't mind a great deal, but I could see that being argued.
Binance has betrayed the crytocurrency movement
Today I was sent an email from Binance demanding that I verify my identity or lose the ability to trade on their platform.

Here's a list of what they want:

* full name
* date of birth
* current residential address
* scans of ID's / passport
* separate picture of my face
* facial recognition / verification (I'm guessing via a custom app or process)

Binance has entirely betrayed one of the pillars of the cryptocurrency movement - anonymity. Sure, you can track every transaction on the blockchain, but unless you know what wallet address corresponds to which identity, you ain't got bubkess.

As a result, I am leaving Binance, and I would encourage others to consider doing the same.

And just before anyone reaches for the age-old argument that "they are a private corporation and can do what they want", I will preemptively respond: if too many big corps engage in bad behaviour, then you are left with no place to turn to and essentially lose your digital rights, so I find that argument to be naive, short sighted, and entirely unacceptable.

We must demand more of the businesses that we depend on. We must hold them to a higher standard so that we are not left in the end without alternatives.

Fight for your rights now, or risk being controlled and silenced forever.

Well why doesn't the GNOME project offer a way for people to pay for specific features and bugfixes?

Some of those have end dates, others have technology research goals, in most you need to supply cities with a certain amount of resources that they need to grow.

Almost all of them involve managing a transport enterprise that earns money by transporting goods of various sorts and ensuring that supply chains are uninterrupted (raw materials to factories, goods to the cities, usually with plenty of steps along the way).

In that regard, they can be reasonably forgiving, as long as this simulated company of yours doesn't go bankrupt, and you can usually pause them and play at your own pace.

To me, a lot of the fun is in planning out these supply chains and seeing how i could use the available types of vehicles in a somewhat efficient manner as well as building the roads and infrastructure that's necessary for that, though other players might enjoy an approach that focuses more on number crunching, while others might just want to make a total mess of things.

I'd definitely draw some parallels with games like Factorio.

Ocasio-Cortez apologizes for her ‘present’ vote on Iron Dome funding
> You don't get it. just because tge grant was denied, does not mean the work was not done. The fact it was even written at all is evidence someone thought it'd work.

You should really pay attention to what you're claiming, specially as there is absolutely zero substance or evidence supporting your claim. Your accusation boils down to the same exact witch hunt logic that led angry mobs to burn innocent people at the stake: claim you believe someone happened without zero evidence at all, proceed to allege someone of having the means to do it, from a massive logical leap start to accuse someone who you alleged is capable of something of actually doing it in spite, again, of having zero evidence at all, and proceed to throw that victim to the fire.

I suppose our witch hunting days are behind us, but you're dragging them back to the present by repeating the same logical mistakes and in the process throw innocents into the fire.

Do the world a favor and cut out all the baseless accusations and unsubstantiated claims. It's one thing to argue that some bits should be investigated, but it's an entirely different thing to screw up logical and rational thinking so badly to the point that you make the same completely baseless and unsubstantiated claims you're making.
You think that’s funny, but from experience, I’d tell you this happens more often than you think.

A company I was with, that was a startup and then IPO’d, our pipeline involved an open office spreadsheet “deployed” (copy) onto the server, where then the Java webapp (war+tomcat) would read the inputs to calculate for millions of people, user classifier and what kind of robocall they should get in case of a utility event to prevent brownouts.
By default, OpenTTD and many similar games have a competition mode, where the goal is to run competing players (either AI or human) out of business a la Monopoly. In practice, it's a sim game at it's core, so the process of building a functional transportation system is a goal in itself.

28kWh isn’t enough for a Formula E race. They swapped cars in the middle of the race back when they used those smaller batteries. They now use 54 kWh batteries[1], though power output is limited to less than a Tesla Model 3.

Next year they’re supposed to increase power output to 350kW, which is comparable to a Model 3 Performance. Of course Formula E cars are much lighter, so acceleration and handling are far better than the Tesla sedan.

That doesn't mean you don't want a durable good at all. It means you want a durable good (the daily stuff laptop) plus occasional access to a particular service (playing a game). But many businesses would prefer that you give up the durable good altogether--that instead of your laptop for daily stuff, you entrust all your data and computing capacity to "the cloud" and just access it from your smartphone, which in their model you are basically renting from your phone provider.

YouTube promises pullback on censorship after deplatforming of public meetings
I'd say that it didn't really happen that way. What happened was that they would be interoperable initially, the other clients would get neglected as the dominant client vacuumed up half of the business, then when the dominant client reached a certain size, it would close. The neglected clients wouldn't be able to pick up the people resentful that the dominant client closed because of their fewer features, more difficult (and less opinionated) UI, and the loss of half of the user network. Attrition happens among the holdouts, they switch to the dominant client, and development that was once slow on the other clients stops dead. Then the dominant client starts asking for your firstborn and gets contracts with the CIA.

I'd submit that it's the closing that's the problem, not the openness. Openness tends to support a power law distribution of clients. One or two will dominate, but there will be a dozen that are significant.

> Only the US government still believes this. Which happens to have interests strongly opposing Iran's.

Umm... since 2005, EU, UN, and U.S. sanctions have targeted Iran for violating treaties under which it promised not to pursue nuclear weapons.

The centrifuges destroyed by Stuxnet were not for nuclear weapons?, how about all the assassinated nuclear scientists?, they're working on peaceful nuclear?

Legal strategy is she is wanted for trial in the United States, she is fighting extradition instead of going to face trial. It is a valid strategy.

> Is your argument really that people in Iran shouldn't be allowed to have computers

They are under embargo for nuclear weapons program. I really don't want them to have nuclear weapons either. If this means the iranian people don't have computers they only have their leaders and themselves to blame. Changing them would solve the issue.

> Besides, you totally ignored the entire issue with Trump indicating that he would be willing to release her in exchange for concessions. Keep in mind he's the guy under who she was arrested.

Trump said a lot of worse things if you take them at face value, he's not in office anymore, she on the other hand is still wanted for extradition.

The lesson here is don't break another country's laws and then expect to visit it or its allies without answering to a court of law.

M.2 is no longer used for enterprise drives like this.

Where oil rigs go to die (2017)
Eminent domain requires reimbursement, and is horrendously unpopular. Trying to scoop up land from middle class people around cities in the West isn’t politically feasible. Those people vote.

There’s no politically realistic future where governments could build enough row homes to house the poor in places where there is economic opportunity. The land is too expensive, and trying to wrench it away by force of law would die in the courts or the ballot booth. This is a hopelessly utopian idea.

Markets are great at producing lots of cheap stuff, we could let housing work the same way.
I don't think this is specific to Binance. The SEC and Treasury are really looking at cracking down on crypto-reporting across the board. It's very unfortunate because, I agree, crypto's strongest appeals were in it's decentralization and it's anonymity. But I know that the current administration is trying to "crack down" on tax "evasion" and is proposing and implementing quite a few things that will likely make a majority of those involved unhappy. I don't think Binance is going to be the only doing this.
Child care generally comes with a lot of regulation in developed countries. One such regulation being “one caregiver per n children”. If n is too large, the quality of care is poor, and if n is too small, the cost of care per child is too high. Developed countries tend to keep n small, thus the cost is untenable for many low/middle class families.

Here’s a question: how do you solve this problem without the government subsidizing child care costs?

Hacking electronic health record software requires hacking into data centres/cloud providers. Hacking this proposal merely requires hacking an iPhone.

Well yeah, but without observable facts, this is just wild guesses or paranoia. Considering the regular news about weaknesses in anything from Safari to iMessages, I have a really hard time taking these claims seriously. The storage and processing of health data is documented, and they do not leave the device or the Secure Enclave (unless you accept it, e.g. during a study).
> That's the neat thing, the data won't help you get better care.

Are you speaking from experience? In mine, good doctors will absolutely leverage relevant self-captured sensor data to aid in diagnoses and provide better care.
> if its job is to get you from A to B, renting and Uber can both be valid options over buying

For some people, perhaps. But you give up a lot of flexibility when you give up ownership. It's not just a matter of "the job" the thing does; transportation is not a single "job", it's an enabler for many, many different "jobs". And if you don't own any means of transportation, your ability to do all those things is dependent on some other entity, probably a faceless corporation that does not care whether you can get from A to B or not, it only cares about whether it can make money. Or, in the case of public transportation, a government in which your personal interest is rounding error compared to the powerful interests that influence what the government does. It may seem to you that in your personal situation, services like renting and Uber, or public transportation, are there whenever you need them and trusting that that will always be the case seems like a good deal. But historically, deals like that have a way of going sideways when you least expect it and can least afford it. At the very least, it's a good idea to always have a plan B in mind.
Jumping from a very clear definition of AFib to very subjective diagnosis of mental health issues isn't something I'm comfortable with.

Noise is relevant because the diagnosis is subjective. We're not talking about timing between heartbeats, we're talking about situation where even medical professionals can't do an invasive quantitative test to say how depressed someone is.

Using privacy invading sensors doesn't make the diagnosis less subjective.

I'm glad that works for you. It doesn't work for me. I went from worse than SAD (Standard American Diet) slowly into gluten free, then sort of vegetarian, then vegan. I had two different functional medicine docs prescribe a very strict elimination diet. Nothing alleviated my symptoms - fibromyalgia, brain fog, constant fatigue that required a nap daily, sore joints and a messed up lower GI. I did not feel great on the early phases of the vegan diet. I really never felt good at all while eating vegan. I also have an oxalate intolerance which means most vegan foods are not good (whereby "not good" means they make it feel as though I'm peeing razor blades).

I didn't feel great initially on the Carnivore diet. In fact it took months and months to get my system cleaned out. I had diarrhea for most of the first year. I quit sugar six months ago, which as also been a huge help. I realize it may not be for everybody however right now it is for me. My doctor told me, "Whatever you're doing, keep doing it." I can go hours without eating if I have to. I never get "hangry". I eat when I'm hungry, as much as I want until I'm full.

The current zeitgeist that says we all have to eat plants for optimal health is plain wrong. I'm 52 years old. I've done a lot of experimenting. Fat is not the enemy. Carbs are the enemy. Also, just about any diet that relies on drastically restricting your caloric input is bound to fail.

> Honestly, the messaging for over a decade now is that carbs are bad

Maybe, but for YEARS it was "fat is bad". And it isn't. It is incredibly satiating. And that messaging came from Big Ag, who completely buried the very valid research of an English scientist, John Yudkin.
