First, I completely understand and empathize with your sentiment.

But do you think the FBI should be allowed to pursue multi-year investigations against U.S. citizens based on intelligence information that they knew was fake?

Because that's what happened in this case and I find it deeply troubling that the FBI was willing to brush aside all the valid concerns while deciding to proceed with this case.
What if the laws were the other way, and business were being mandated to track everything they can about the people they interact with? How would this tyranny be different from the one existing currently? Just because the majority decides something, that doesn't mean it's not tyrannical. People should be free to peacefully interact with each other as they individually see fit. Some people may track, some may choose not to, advertise that fact. Any picking of sides is totally arbitrary and therefore unjust.

As has been said since first days of GDPR.

GDPR requires explicit consent and childish excuses like "your continued use implies ..." not only does not count, but does not exist as a concept.

There is a chinese movie about how in China people often don't tell cancer patients that they have cancer until it is well too late in order to let them live with as much normality as possible for as long as possible.

One thing I didn’t really think about with fusion, until reading the comments here: when the energy is basically free, you don’t have to try too hard to capture the output to make something of it. Is that actually the case with harvesting fusion energy?

Is the waste heat an issue? Where does the pink stuff go after it’s been squished into the middle of the ribbed magnetic bonbon thing? Apologies if I’m blinding you with science technobabble.
it's the same info you'd have on a cycling computer. If you're doing intervals you want to know your current power output/heart rate as well as your targets for those. Or maybe you're focusing on getting your cadence higher instead of grinding in lower gears. All of this stuff is worth showing to someone training for cycling. For a commuter, nah. I mean I guess it's cool to see your speed. This doesn't even look like it'll do turning queues the way a GPS enabled head unit will. But that's cool, since the only info you probably want without looking down at your head unit is what it offers.
Looks like it has varied by between a small fraction of a percent and around 2%. That by itself would not convince me to leave a job, or join a new one: the interview process and switching cost is too high. I have left plenty of jobs, but usually because the job itself was intolerable for any price.

They do. When they do it aggressively, it results in bad PR, though.
Patrick, as someone with a startup in this space, I just want to say that your content is fantastic. I really appreciated reading this, and was unaware that Japan had a (pricing cartel?) with rewards. Is the market highly concentrated there as it is in the US? If it is indeed an inexplicable coordination situation, has there ever been any antitrust action in this space there?

Given that these attacks are becoming increasingly common, package registries could at least install each package (prior to publishing) in some isolated container or VM and then run some similar malware detection on the resulting file system.

Honestly, I'm strongly considering moving away from the NPM ecosystem because it's clearly become a target for malware.
Both my parents came down with cancer in their 70s. They had operations, chemo, "declared cancer free," and then it came back, second round...

What worked for my parents is that we have access to some of the best cancer doctors in the world. It really is "worth it" to drive an extra hour or two to consult with a leading oncologist; even if the answer is just "I'll advise the doctor close to your home."

Fortunately, the timing worked out that one parent cared for the other. My wife and I had two babies during the process, so we weren't able to live with my parents, or "commute" them to chemo. We did tell my parents that, if they were going to undergo treatment simultaneously, that we'd need them to live with us so we could take care of them and our children.

What helped is that my parents are naturally active people. They just accepted that they will have tired days, and slowed down a bit. Our biggest worry was that they were both undergoing treatment during summer 2020, and often weren't as careful as we were. The lockdown helped, because we only saw each other on good days.

But, here's the good news: Modern cancer treatment is a miracle. If this happened 20 years ago, I don't think either of my parents would have survived.

Anyway, if you're read this far, all I can say is: Try not to think about it too often. Reframe cancer in your head as a chronic disease, and make an effort to spend quality time with your loved ones. I very rarely tell people I know about my parents' cancer, and this is the first time I've ever posted about it online.
As a software engineer this is the sort of thing that always rubbed me the wrong way with some of Elon and Tesla's boasting about Autopilot and FSD. "Autopilot has driven 3 billion miles so we're always learning and getting safer", they say. Ok, sure, that's probably the general trend. But that's counting miles driven with previous hardware and software suites that probably aren't even relevant anymore. And we know they don't have perfect regression testing - folks have pointed out issues where a car had been well-behaved on a familiar road or at a familiar intersection until an update introduced bad behavior. I'm sure the engineers at Tesla are working very hard on this problem and trying their best to prevent dangerous regressions, but errors happen. I don't care how many miles a 2015 Model S with the older Autopilot suite drove safely if my 2024 Model 2 downloads an update and proceeds to steer me into a wall.

I don't know the best way to handle this, but I suspect it is something along the lines of your update through NHTSA idea.
Vaccinated people don’t take up hospital beds. That’s the resource that’s constrained.

That's not how the terms have been used in the past decade. "Equality" has always meant a level playing field (everyone judged based on what they bring to the table), whereas "equity" in present-day discourse means everyone is literally treated the same regardless of merit.

If you want people to listen to your ideas at the table and accept or reject them based on merit, that's equality. Everyone starts off from an equal standing.

If you want your one vote regardless of what people think or how grand or stupid your ideas are, that's equity. Among N people you always get 1/Nth the attention, reward, impact, etc.
I'd say Germany is leading in "middle tech": mechanical, machinery, industrial equipment and of course cars (although that might soon be disputed).

I grew up and went to university in Germany but spent all my working life in the US, doing a lot of industrial automation, optical engineering and a lot of software. I'm continually amazed how many little bits and pieces we use from Germany: connectors, cabling, enclosures, motors, controllers, encoders, cameras and optics. None of our computing equipment comes from Germany.

We (not myself luckily) also use SAP, which is a different story altogether.
Square, by virtue of their business model, get lower interchange fee because charges where the credit card is present, has lower fees. Online-only merchants get no such discount.
I'll reiterate the suggestion to take leave. If it's available to you, you don't need to take it all at once. I've been taking off every Friday to deal with 'care' issues.

Flexible bosses only get you so far IME. Family Leave is a good way to reassure to people that you still are dedicated to your job, but you have other stuff to deal with - and also that HR has officially reviewed and blessed your situation. It adds an extra level of 'validity' that can shut down speculation that you are just screwing off because you don't care anymore.

Congratulations! I did the exact same thing; made an app to help name my first child.

I've slowly developed a method which incorporates 1) culture, 2) popularity in different countries, and 3) pronunciation of names and attempts to recommend you names based on names you like. It kind of works, it's taken a lot of tuning to make it output something sensible. It's specifically designed to attempt to combine cultures together, which is a top request from customers I identified.

I've been working on releasing the app for a while. If you're interested in helping me test it before its release this month please feel free to sign up here:

> The issue though here is around consent pop-ups being found to violate the GDPR.

Pop ups doesn't violate GDPR.

Making a system, pop up or otherwise, that is significantly harder to opt out of than opting into and then going on to pretending that users deliberately chose tracking however, that is a violation.

The rules are simple: tracking is opt in. You have to convince users there's something in it for them.

And, as someone who gave especially Google the benefit of doubt for the longest time I can testify that for me at least it did not result in relevant ads at all.

Relevat ads would be:

- local shops (I got two ads for local shops in a decade)

- family cars (I bought three used ones during that decade, not a single Google ad that I can remember)

- programming conferences

- power tools

- programming tools (one for Jetbrains tools five years ago, also a few for WordPress hosting after I searched for it.)

- insurance

- toys for kids

- family holidays

- etc

What I got:

- ads for scammy dating sites

Maybe worth pointing out that fusion has been a long-term project of Sam's. Back when PG asked him to lead YC, the other thing he was considering was working on fusion. He's been following the sector for a long time.
I'm sorry to break it to you, but you're really not. Commercial surveillance is exactly this imposition of value judgements onto people without their consent.

I myself am a libertarian. A government is merely a large corporation that is impractical to opt out of. Conversely, corporations that are impractical to opt out of constitute de facto government. Data protection laws like the GDPR attempt to constrain the power of corporations so they don't rise to that level, which ultimately constrains the amount of government.
I'll never understand why people want these cars.

Reckless 0-100 launch capability, buggy automation that contributes to accidents, constant over the air updates to "fix" them, and just enough range to drive back and forth to work.

I want zero emissions cars to be come commonplace but I'm quite tired of them being these exotic style luxury cars with ipads glued into the center console.

I think Toyota is on a much better path with their "Prime" plug-in hybrid models.
Let's take that apart:

Are there any authorized or approved drugs that are taken over a short-term (say less than a month) that have been shown to cause long-term death?

authorized or approved.

Check. Contergan was approved and used in 46 countries. Notably in East Germany there are no known cases of this, because "thalidomide was rejected by the Central Committee of Experts for the Drug Traffic in the GDR, and was never approved for use."

taken over a short-term (say less than a month)

Check. As quoted before, taking Contergan past day 42 didn't harm the fetus and deformities seem to have started on day 21. Less than a month.

cause long-term death

Check. Over the long term (>6 months) it caused death in 40% of the babies born.

Nowhere in there does it say to exclude any drugs than only cause direct death to the taker. Nor do I think should that matter. I do agree that pregnant women are studied separately precisely because the risks there are higher. To quote from the wikipedia article again:

The Society of Toxicology of Canada was formed after the effects of thalidomide were made public, focusing on toxicology as a discipline separate from pharmacology. The need for the testing and approval of the toxins in certain pharmaceutical drugs became more important after the disaster.
Still heavily object orientated, but a step in the right direction.
Matt Huang joins Stripe’s board
wow! That was an interesting read.
What you’re describing took place with on-prem iron as well - nothing cloud about it. At all.

Service discovery is in part DNS with low ttl, but there’s a part of it that ties in to configuration management, monitoring and observability as well.

If you “update dns” that means you’re doing a part of what consul does (only f ex nomad does it for you). Nothing magic, but you still “need it”.

Tags and metadata is a large part of it though, as well as configuring things automatically based on state of the SD and K/V.

In the end - whatever works, I guess.
> All the "do-nothing scripts" diverges from the reality as time goes by.

Not sure I follow. In my experience, we have _tons_ of process that's written up in random pages in our company wiki. I assure you, nothing diverges as quickly as a set (regrettably) of duplicated wiki pages outlining a process.

If you're making the argument that a fully automated script is superior to a checklist, then ... well, sure. But while you're spending the resources to fully automate one process, duplicated wiki pages are being written for the 100 other checklists (at least in my experience).

The key here is that I fully agree with you on the divergence problem. But if a scripted checklist diverges, people complain and it's trivial to update the script. If you don't have these, then people either add a comment to one of the wiki pages, or a side note, or worse, write up a "better" wiki page with the real actual this-time-for-sure steps.

I believe the key here is to implement a consistent tactical approach to incremental development, capturing divergence along the way. If you just let them lie fallow, then yes, that's bad. But surely a fully-automated script allowed to lie fallow and diverge from reality is no better off.
Do you have opinions about different laws? That some are arbitrary and unjust, whereas others are good? How do you form these opinions?
Is this really the case.

The key is that the data controller be able to demonstrate AND RECORD that consent was received. If I clear my cookies, how does data controller prove consent?

“keep a record of consent statements received, so [the controller] can show how consent was obtained, when consent was obtained and the information provided to the data subject at the time ... [and] also be able to show that the data subject was informed and the controller’s workflow met all relevant criteria for a valid consent.”

With that guidance in mind, and from a practical standpoint, consider keeping records of the following:

The name or other identifier of the data subject that consented;
The dated document, a timestamp, or note of when an oral consent was made;
The version of the consent request and privacy policy existing at the time of the consent; and,
The document or data capture form by which the data subject submitted his or her data."

Just seems like some huge liability here if you didn't record the required elements in a manner that allowed you to produce them. Does GDPR allow me to requisition my users devices if I'm investigated?

Of course, we are told GDPR is "easy".

> The paper [url snipped] does not mention the sensitivity or specificity of the model at all

There's a full ROC curve in Figure 2. Just eyeballing it, it looks like they get both sensitivity and specificity in excess of .9 in the top left corner (I didn't try to measure it precisely).

It would certainly be helpful to have more information about the over/undersampling.
I'd group that under politics - that's about using the programs for aims outside their core mandate (in this case funding science). That's a separate issue that's endemic in government spending that I agree should be tackled.
