I would argue that even for larger websites this would not be a valid logic either. Such websites might have a team responsible for such issues, but this is not the service these websites provide nor the primary way of operation for these websites but rather a way to mitigates risks. Such risks burden the websites and are raising costs for the websites to operate. It's an abuse of service somewhat similar to shoplifting.

Your analogy with mystery shopper doesn't hold the water as well since the researchers in such cases are just executing the primary function of the businesses in question. So while for the bigger sites you might be correct that the research is not a human subject research but it's still an abuse of service which in unethical without consent as well.

No he is totally right. I haven't been able to see my girlfriend for two years because of borders closing. I had to wait two years to see my parents. Friends and family that were supposed to visit me couldn't. Hundreds of event have been cancelled. I couldn't practice my martial art because our training place was close. I was denied entry in a library two days ago. I couldn't network or present my work in person at an international conference. Had to work remotely and didn't speak irl with coworkers for like 6 months. Restaurants closed very early. Etc, etc.

Covid itself had 0 impact on my life, I don't know a single person that died of it. All the suffering come from restrictions.

It's ok if you have a super boring life without friend or family, never doing anything out or traveling but at least have empathy for others that got miserable because of all those undue restrictions.
I use dot, and manually position everything, then use the neato -n2 option to render:

this still doesn't do subgraphs well,

so I sometime do the 'groups' in a separate document, then composite the layers with image magick

Given how widespread word of this thing got, how could researchers possibly distinguish responses to their email that were from people who were not aware it was research, versus responses from people who had become aware what was happening?

The same goes for people who didn't respond. Did they not respond because they heard about this being research, or did they not respond for other reasons?

This data is the opposite of flawless, it is poisoned, and any attempt to draw conclusions from the responses they got would be junk.

Throwing a tantrum as soon as you don't have anything left to say...

If I had left it at "lol no" (it was a funny point just looking at the country you're talking about...) at least I could see why you're upset.

But instead I still proceeded to break down why you're wrong in quite a detailed manner and school you a bit on the topic so you can go forward with a better informed view of the country.

The customary reply there isn't a tantrum, it's a "thank you" or a "that's interesting for me to learn". Some people really do forget how to behave the moment another person doesn't agree with them.

>In my personal opinion a free financial course should be required before you first get your SSN and then no higher than a $500 credit limit for 6 months after.

And when you have a lawsuit filed against you in a comparative negligence[0] jurisdiction, even if you have no debt at all, bankruptcy may be your only choice -- when the lawyer's fees will bankrupt you even if you win the lawsuit (let alone having to pay even a small percentage of a seven or eight-figure judgement).

What financial advice (free or otherwise) can you give to someone in that situation? I was in that situation and faced either bankruptcy after trial (even if I won) or bankruptcy before trial and still lose access to favorable credit terms.

Bankruptcy guaranteed. With no bad financial decisions or lack of financial education needed.

If your scenario (ignorant people making bad financial decision) were the only issue, I might agree with you. But there are a whole bunch of other scenarios that don't include bad decisions.

All you need is someone to sue you for some large amount of money (even if there's no merit to the suit, the lawyer's fees for going to trial will do the job) or incur large medical bills for injuries/illnesses that have nothing to do with poor choices.

instead, the better factors to consider are age, weight[0], comorbidities, household size, job duties (e.g., public-facing or not), and sociability. these also tend to be more stable and consistent, meaning you don't need to reconsider your personal mitigations very often. that'd indicate who generally needs personal mitigations and who doesn't (exceptions like a holiday family gathering would still need to be handled exceptionally).

> Now it’s electrical stoves and central heating in many places.

What's "central heating"?
I believe Germany already uses central heating in most places. The question is what powers it. Can it be efficiently replaced by renewable-energy (!) electric heating vs. fossil? Other commenters have posited "no".

The way I see it, investing in nuclear should have been part of the plan, instead of replacing it with renewables (vs. doing so for those uses of fossil where renewables make sense). The fear of nuclear energy in Germany is just ridiculous IMO, and arguably has become a self-fulfilling prophecy. With nuclear power on its way out know how and effort to research and to maintain existing plants and investment in it are at a minimum making continued operation now a liability.

A websocket doesn’t have much import on CP vs AP. Request/Response is still done over unreliable connections that can’t guarantee exactly once request or response delivery without further application-level mechanisms (retries with idempotency keys, etc.). They’re also used mostly with web clients, and it’s pretty rare that we consider systems where web client partition is allowed to reduce availability for the system as a whole, even if it is CP.

> Apple's plan was to to scan photos that you uploaded to iCloud, only. Even that plan was canceled.

The massive difference being that they would scan photos on my device. Not on the cloud. On my local device. How is that people consider that better?

The important bit is that Google does not currently have any capability to scan stuff on my phone. This is good. It's my stuff. They have no right to look at my stuff.

Apple proposed to implement tech that could scan stuff on my device, with a promise that they'll only do it when I am uploading stuff. Wait a few years, and some pressure from Authorotarian Government/Corporate Overlords and now the promise is just a promise that they can be easily removed and we can scan all stuff to make sure you're not stealing "content"/spreading "propoganda".
Computerized controls and CFD have made these multi-thruster aircraft practical to design and fly. These things are promised to be way easier to fly than conventional helicopters, with stuff like autolanding since fly-by-wire has become almost a commodity. The flowfields from having 10+ fans interacting with a body was also impractical to analyze in previous generations, but now CFD tooling has caught up and we can get good results without physical tests (of course you still need testing at the end).
Non-starter? It's the actual grid battery storage solution a decade from now. EV owners will be able to pull and push electricity to the grid, incentivized by $. When the grid needs base load, $ paid to EV owners pushing electricity to the grid will keep rising until market equilibrium. Users can get notifications on a mobile app for certain $/kwh they'll be willing to receive to have their car go from 100% -> 60%, especially as battery storage gets larger and many people end up with 400 mile capacities where 90% of the time they use 50 miles during the day. Have a long trip coming up? Don't push electricity those days...

Especially with WFH (charge EV during day, give to grid at night, end up making $)

Heard the same about SELinux.

Typical application attack path:

RCE in the app -> ability to use anything in the OS under the app user privileges -> privilege escalation -> The whole box pwned (including access to all your secrets and management credentials)

Remediation process: wipe the box

Attack path for an app within a jail:

RCE in the app -> ability to use anything in the OS but there is nothing to use, must bring own tools (not always feasible) -> privilege escalation -> JAIL is pwned but not the box

Remediation process: recreate the jail

The longer my career has gone on - the more I realize the value of my CS degree.

Early on in my career I used to think my CS degree was a waste. But the more people I worked with that DIDN'T have a CS degree - it became clear to me how much value the degree had.

All the seemingly theoretical / non-practical things we learned - I would see others get stuck and unable to progress. And for me, these were just things I understood inherently.

Sure, I think if you only ever plan to work in startups and be a mid-level engineer - maybe a degree isn't worth it. But I think it's definitely worth it if you have bigger ambitions for your career.
