Tesla really seems to have an extreme amount of personal data capture combined with always-on remote access.

It’s fascinating to watch people swear off Amazon Echo and delete their Facebook over privacy concerns but then proudly drive around in a vehicle that records everything, stores everything, and gives opaque data access to the parent company. In this case, a parent company with a reputation for bending the rules to suit their needs.

Really goes to show how much the computing privacy debate is a matter of brand loyalties and each company’s position on the hype cycle more than anything else.
I don't know if you're speaking in generalities or not, but I'm absolutely not a capitalist, although I do respect that position. Personally try to be open to any good argument, but it's easier for one that's close to an opinion I already hold.

It wasn't my intention to attack your position, in fact I'd bet it's not far from my own.

What I wanted to convey is that it can be unpleasant to have a discussion with someone when they seem to be trying to win you to their side. I want to pull ideas, rather than have them pushed to me. My guess is that this effect contributes to "revolutionary dialogue" being poorly received, even by those who aren't necessarily put off by the ideological content.
It should be the Greek letter iota (i.e. I from indices).
Besides iota, APL uses frequently the Greek letter rho (i.e. R from rank; rho applied once gives a vector with the array dimensions and applied twice it gives the dimension of the rho vector, i.e. the tensor rank of the array).
The problem with this, then, is it confuses topics that are important for lay people to differentiate.

Take the current idiocy coming from the governor of Missouri, trying to prosecute a journalist for "hacking" for the crime of ... reading HTML. While the governor used the word "decoding", not decrypting, he accused the journalist of going through some complicated intentional procedure to access private data, which is of course bullshit.

Even in the general sense, "decrypting" something strongly implies the original author had the intention of keeping it private and secure. Was this the case with Tesla's data? It seems like not, because it would have been trivial for them to implement unbreakable encryption. Or was this just a case where someone else figured out their file format?

Don't use WiFi? Ethernet has way less latency. Combine with everyone being in the same city/region and using fiber network and latency should be really good.

Otherwise, find friends that you have visibility with and setup a P2P WiFi via antennas/radios, you'll get insanely good latency.
More protection at the OS and ISP level. ISPs can isolate nodes that become part of botnets, and operating systems increasingly remove the avenues malicious actors use to cause trouble. Microsoft's push for hardware security is justly controversial, but the move to TPM by default in Windows 11 is the latest in a long line of changes that's made it harder to take over an ordinary person's computer. Android has had an equivalent since 8, and I'm pretty sure iOS has it.

Put that with the change to more people being mobile-only and there's fewer ways to create the botnets behind these.
I don't think capitalism is root here, it's an amplifier but humans have the same problem. Maybe any complex ~intelligent system even ?
Targeting small businesses in general is bad idea. You need to spend too much time to discover their needs. You need to flip the script by creating a cookie cutter solution for a very specific type of customer. Ex: Fence installers, AC repair shops, etc. You bring a complete package to them: site with industry specific lead capture form, content, social media, ppc campaign. They'll be happy to hear what you have to say if you present yourself as being specialized in their exact business type. You'll create value quickly for both you and the customer.
If the margins are so high for an ad exchange (~20%), I don't understand why nobody opens a new independent one. Sure, such a thing is hard to get off the ground, but if you have VC backing or contacts with a few classical media sites and industry associations, it seems definitely possible.

Also, I don't think the advantages of targeted advertising and ad auctions are as big as people think. Maybe people should start placing ads via the sites' thematical context instead of the users' browsing history.

Finally, I would also look into serving ads first-party, that is embedded in the page and from the same domain. A lot harder to block, more performant, and you might be able to get rid of the stupid cookie banners.
Lol … I said that I decided not to get the vaccine because the folks doing the vaccine said “We have a limited supply. If you are working from home, please wait until we have more supplies.”

I work from home so I’m like “OK, no vaccine for me now.” I got vaccinated later when they had more supplies.

People online got pissed at me for that because it doesn’t fit their script.
I had assumed this would be a VST plug-in so you could integrate everyone into (for example) an Ableton Live set with whatever other audio/midi manipulation you want.

Hey, are you using Opus for audio? I remember the whole reason Opus was so cool, is that it was the first codec that combined low latency with high quality. Most voice chat software uses Opus nowadays so I'm surprised to hear existing solutions are so bad.
Excellent article. Worth reading for anyone interested in the Lisp family of languages. Author's other project, Pollen, is also very interesting.
That immunocompromised portion of the population are not going to be protected either way. Did you not read what I said? The vaccine does not prevent transmission! Herd immunity will not happen with such a leaky vaccine.
Exactly. The system is working as intended. Though, things are not miserable and costly enough yet apparently because he's not getting his jab just yet.

People are still getting sick, even after getting vaccinated. So, I don't want this person anywhere near people I care about. Or near me. Or any people for that matter. We probably all know people that had the virus or that died because of it. So, I'm glad many countries are putting policies in place that are designed to de-risk public life a bit. We need more of that and less people like this running around unvaccinated.

1. They built precisely zero stations for battery swaps.

2. Tesla has been promising a car for $35k or less for years now and still does not sell one.

3. The solar roofs exist only to give an excuse to bail out Elon's cousins. Installations are currently lower than 20% of Tesla's projections and are declining rapidly. They are bad solar panels because they are more expensive to manufacture, far more expensive to install, less durable, and less efficient than an ordinary installation. They are bad roofs because they are more expensive to manufacture, far more expensive to install, and far less durable than ordinary roofs.

4. The Cybertruck is a concept. They have made not even a single working prototype. There has been no news since the scale model had its glass busted over 700 days ago. Similarly, there has never been a working Roadster and we have seen no real information in over three years.

5. The Semi is an asinine idea and cannot ever work. Trucks have a weight limit and run as close as possible to that limit. Batteries are heavy. Using our best technology an electric semi would have well under half the capacity of a normal one even for very short trips.
The car is already spying on you. I think the question is: if data is available to the manufacturer, should it be available to investigators?

I am think it is reasonable. Tesla uses these data to protect themselves (for example by showing that autopilot wasn't in use during an accident). It is not really about user privacy anymore, it is about corporate interests, and I think road safety is more important, that's why we have all these regulations.
Matt Levine has noted in modern America everything is securities fraud; the most egregious of crimes are being prosecuted as securities fraud rather than whatever the actual crime was.

How does security fraud apply to this? Or is that why it happens? You can't point to a "shareholder loss" and all other stakeholders in the company, the legal system and society don't get enforcement when they are the victims of this kind of crime? The company can't be held responsible if a corrupt judge acts corruptly (or impersonates someone who is corrupt displaying a stupidity that should bar them from any position of responsibility), if that judge did not involve the company directly in that corruption.

SDKs won't solve a fingerprinting problem. We can play a reductive game where we slowly strip devices of permissions in the name of 'security' but at the end of the day, anything connected to the internet is forced to relay enough information to be identifiable on a network.

It depends on the use case.

One may use RSS just as preview, to decide what to read and what not, rather than use it as replacement of a website.

Using RSS as preview, actually, while it may seem just an irrelevant layer of indirection, can actually prevent excessive consumption :)
Using audio devices directly makes it possible for any audio application to use it, not just applications supporting VSTs. Makes it more flexible, not less. A VST could be built on top of the current solution, but if it was done vice-versa, it wouldn't.
I think https://endlesss.fm got the approach to jamming over the internet right.

Instead of trying to reduce latency (which you simply cannot do beyond speed of light) endlesss implements a shared “multiplayer” 8 track looper.

Jammers add layers to the loop, which has a clock and supports sync via ableton live, external audio input, etc.

Plus, every addition to the looper is saved/versioned. You can move backwards through loops and export the audio stems. Its a great creative tool, and quick way to build on ideas with friends.

It’s way better than any of the live internet jamming software I’ve used, by far.

That makes sense. For company that has a few potential customers in a region with complex legislation it may make sense to get avoid those customers because of cost of complying with the legislation may be higher than what the customers are worth.

A similar example is that many banks outside the US prefer not to have US citizens as customer. This is also because complying with US laws is more costly than the money made from US citizens.

When it comes to smaller retailers, that is probably due to the EU tax rules. That's a pity. But possibly hard to improve.

Perhaps your opinion should be throttled, since you are espousing other’s opinions to be throttled?
thats a very good point, the ease of "propagating" the news of an RSS update surely plays a role in decisions publishers make

but its more a client-side issue, the degree to which the social graph of a person (e.g their list of email or phone contacts) is easily accessible / allows forwarding with comments etc. maybe the problem is that client app functionality has remained stagnant over decades?

also consider that a lot of that easy social media virality is actually part of the problem

First of all, “transformative” is the word I used, intentionally.

I don’t know if it’s typical or advisable to try to judge the “success” of a revolution 10 years out. That the revolutions have been met by counter-revolutions doesn’t negate the fact that they changed the trajectory of the countries concerned. And inspired movements and strategies elsewhere, too.

> Most of the places impacted by this “spring” […]

I wonder if you appreciate just how long that list might be. For instance, I believe Arab Spring strongly influenced Occupy Wall Street. Which kicked off the American discourse about wealth and income inequality and added the “99%” and “1%” to the lexicon.

Which had a host of follow-on results (rise of Bernie Sanders…contrast with moderate Dems like Hillary…Dems not seen as doing enough to help inequality…losing to Trump)

They do. I know software engineers who work for the government on regulations etc. Then those experts consults with the company experts to talk about what regulations should look like.
I agree with your general comment, but I don't think any of those things can be classified as "personal data". How are you gonna identify a user based on values from those parameters?

GDPR, while not perfect, describes "personal data" to be:

> The data subjects are identifiable if they can be directly or indirectly identified, especially by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or one of several special characteristics, which expresses the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, commercial, cultural or social identity of these natural persons.

We befriend people with whom we spend time. As simple as that. Usually that happens because you have common interests, common foes, and/or common values, but those are a non-problem in college where everyone is facing the same issues, are roughly of the same age, and still have to develop a strong set of beliefs.

So, to get practical, I would suggest: just show up. Show up in class, show up at clubs, show up at extra-curricula activities. Do it long enough, be honestly engaged, and you'll be surrounded by friends you'll keep for all your life.
That's a common misconception; energy will matter anyhow.

It's useful to think of industry as a three factor limitation of energy, materials and intelligence[1] -- you are sort of always limited by one of them. If energy was of literal no concern, we could promptly utilize very inefficient carbon capture or even synthesize elements. Solar energy still has significant costs in labor (what I call intelligence) and materials, both of which are finite. We will always as a civilization be managing those factors, even with a seemingly unlimited source like a feasible fusion reactor (which would require an advanced highly costly and finite reactor to produce energy) to solar panels (which outsource the fusion to some 150 million km away producer :) )

A quick googling gives me about 24 MJ/kg for steel production. A compression cycle with, for example, 1cm of displacement would need to exert 2.4 GN or about 24 million tons of kg-force over a 1kg sample to use equivalent energy, which I believe is far above any press in existence.

[1] Indeed we know the first two are equivalent via E=mc^2 , however this conversion constant is essentially prohibitive outside of stellar nucleus. We also know the third one, intelligence, can be built from raw materials and energy, so there's also a conversion factor there.
You are basically doing the same using another syntax which has some pros, and a lot of cons.

> Tech company spokespersons try to paint a picture of a possible future where web users would have to pay for using websites.

If you think about it, we're already there. I think services like Netflix, Hulu, Spotify, etc. have normalized paying for websites. Maybe if social media had emerged later, the concept of paying for it wouldn't be so alien.
I use Tailwind and I purchased their templates. They provide starting points for common web features. Stuff that would take a lot of time to make.
> There are companies out there, private ones, where their customers are happy, their employees are happy (most of the time) and their retention is high.

Companies that aren't growing? I meet A LOT of companies (about ~50 or so a year) and I can tell you there is massive difference between the distressed ones and the ones who are growing. btw - even 2~5% growth is fine, it doesn't need to be 25% google scale growth...but flat or declining is bad.

Is there any interest groups for students at your school? E.g. photography, choir, hiking, board games or something like that? If so, that could be one way to regularly meet people.

So legal is going to tell you which NPM package to use in your NodeJS project?
Is legal going to be sitting beside you when you're surfing github and see an awesome library that just happens to have an Affero GPL license?

If you're lucky, you'll have automated source scanning, legal will be informed after the fact, and you'll spend a week backing out the offending code and finding a replacement.

What's more likely is that it will be shipped to production and sit there until someone notices or you get sued ;)

> I'm busy a lot of the time so don't think about this.

The most critical thing is to be intentional about it, and to set aside time. Like any goal, it almost certainly won't happen if you do not set aside time and energy to work on it.

Relationships are also often something that grow over time, rather than a lightning bolt that hits you all at once. Try asking who wants to go to a second location and get dinner or coffee or whatever the next time you see folks from your club, or the next time a tutorial is wrapping up. Do it again the next week. I am sure that even if you don't believe you have things in common, you'll be able to do what everyone does to some extent: listen anyway, and eventually you'll find common ground.

Thank you. I hate this increasingly common attitude that free speech should be constrained because [political candidate or movement which I don't like] is in the ascendancy.

Maybe ransomware.

A bit speculative, but my hunch is --

IOT and some other advancements still create opportunities for new DDoS attacks, but attackers herd. And the "X as a service" support infrastructure is mostly supporting ransomware right now, likely because its safer and more lucrative. You can walk away from a ransomware target, fire and forget, so you can do it at scale. DDoS you have to pick your victims, and monitor and maintain the pressure, choose how to allocate your resources to targets while they're investigating or waiting you out.

Cloudflare might be part of the story, maybe that was enough of a headwind to stop the trolls, but for the professional criminals, I suspect this is about lucrative alternative attacks.
Google/Facebook doing shady things to undermine user privacy is a generally accepted fact in this community, so I think that the title understates the severity of the allegations in the article!

It contends that there was collusion between Google and Facebook to protect their abuses of dominance in the marketplace:

"Google quickly realized that this innovation substantially threatened its exchange’s ability to demand a very large – 19 to 22 percent – cut on all advertising transactions,"

...

"However, Google secretly made its own exchange win, even when another exchange submitted a higher bid,"

...

"And as one Google employee explained internally, Google deliberately designed Jedi to avoid competition, and Jedi consequently harmed publishers. In Google’s words, the Jedi program 'generates suboptimal yields for publishers and serious risks of negative media coverage if exposed externally.'"

...

"For example, Google and Facebook have integrated their software development kits (SDKs) so that Google can pass Facebook data for user ID cookie matching," the amended complaint says. "They also coordinated with each other to harm publishers through the adoption of Unified Pricing rules…"
