I have been worried about health-related data that can be exfiltrated by smart devices such as scales, watches (...) so I simply refuse to use any app that's not opensource.

There is a solution for some (ex: my Xiaomi bluetooth scale) but not others.

However, should I install even one such app, I do not trust it will avoid listening to the BLE broadcast of data coming from other devices, and send it home.

Recently, this was a problem on the Wyze Watch which includes among other things a period tracker. I ended up replacing it by a Garmin eSports Watch: while the Wyze is a wonderful device (oh boy do I miss the puse oxymeter for O2 saturation...), it requires an app on the phone: if you uninstall it, the Wyze will work for a while... until it accumulates too much data.

After that, it presents various symptoms (ex: unable to pair) that end up with the touchscreen not working after a few month.

The Garmin can apparently be run autonomously and doesn't seem to have this problem (so far!) that seems to be cause by a lack of rollover/delete.

If it works as it should, with no app, I will replace it after a few months by a more advanced model like the Forerunner 945 that includes a pulse oximeter.

If it can't delete data on its own (without any phone pairing), I will look for another device that can work without a phone.

In any case, I will not let my health-related data be exfiltrated, even for something as innocent as a bluetooth toothbrush.

This article seems to support my almost luddite approach!
I don't see anything there about directing anyone to not prosecute theft.

Naughty Dog had very good reasons to avoid alienation that would come by sticking to their custom languages (not necessarily Lisp). Only one person on the team really properly knew how the GOAL compiler worked and how it interacted with the rest of the Naughty Dog toolchain, and that person would have to leave the company at some point. Remember that, since they are under the Sony umbrella, they would have to share technology around with the other teams. They were aware this could turn into an issue, and mention it in some interviews and e-mails: https://www.neogaf.com/threads/why-did-naughty-dog-abandon-g...

> The primary purpose is to promote economic growth by reducing societal costs by deterring crime and fraud (including 'civil' fraud like breaking contracts) in an orderly manner.

What is that based on? I can see wealthy property owners thinking that - that the police are there to serve their personal interests, including by enforcing the laws they control to a large degree - but I don't know any basis for it nor do I think other segments of the population would agree.

In fact, it's arguable that law enforcement has been to a great extent about power: The powerful suppressing the weak, such as minorities.

> The purpose is deterrence

If you mean, the primary means of law enforcement is deterrence, it seems plausible but there is a lot of research out there. Again, where does this theory come from?

Also, how is locking up innocent people a form of deterrence? That seems to be a form of oppression.

> Without deterrence, you get a negative spiral as we're beginning to see in cases like this where the purpose of justice system is being subverted

Crime rates are generally very low. Homicides and shootings have increased, but relatively equally across the country, in large and small communities. (source: recent FBI crime report) Where is the evidence that particular policies are causing an increase in crime?
The hope is that who ever is proposing a new feature (i.e. bail reform) and then moving fast and breaking to add the new feature on a public facing server is not satisfied that the new feature is released and just leaving the resulting bugs that are causing the site to have outages in production.

Instead they need to put back on their work gloves and figure out how to deliver their promised feature (i.e. bail reform) while actively fixing the failure modes that their new feature introduced until all existing users are happy enough not to be submitting Jira tickets again.
I’m sorry for your loss.

I read somewhere once that grief feels like a ball in a box with a button. At first, the ball is almost the same size as the box, it’s pushing the grief button all the time. Over time, the box gets bigger, but the ball will always be bouncing around, and no matter how big the box gets, every once in a while it’ll hit the button and you’ll feel it.

Add to that something Craig Ferguson said talking to Bob Saget about their fathers passing: “It’s my grief and I’ll deal with it my way.”

If you’re feeling still and empty, then, yes, that is normal. It’s your grief, and you have the right to deal with it your way. Be the rock for your family, order takeout when you’re hungry, lie down and close your eyes when you need a minute.

I wish you all the best.

Did he say it was a joke? He said he said it to get a reaction.[1] People say true things all the time to get a reaction.

Let's look at the timeline[2]:

2017-02-16: He says he believes the Earth is flat.[3]

2017-02-17: He doubles down on it.[3]

2017-09-25: He says he said it to get a reaction. He never uses the word joking. He says he just wants to have an open conversation. "At the end of the day, you're gunna feel and believe what you want to feel, but don't knock my life over it."[1]

2018-06-08: He says he doesn't know whether the earth is round or flat. "I haven’t convinced myself all the way like everything that has been given to us is fake. No. But you also know that a lot of history has been distorted over time."[4]

2018-10-01: He apologizes for saying the earth is flat. He doesn't say he doesn't believe it, just that he's sorry for saying it. He was into conspiracies and went down the rabbit hole and wanted to share it with everyone. But how he thinks "Don't come out and say that stuff, that's for intimate conversations."[5]

He also promoted conspiracies about famous assassinations.[3]

I always appreciate a discussion about surveillance capitalism as it's one of the roots of many, many world problems in today's world.

This is such a disgusting, predatory invasion of privacy and it's as pervasive as portrayed in the podcast [1]. These companies should be hit with huge financial penalties and the full force of GDPR should be dropped on them, but I'm sure by now, the largest companies have found loopholes to share personal information that can be used to market to individuals without it being considered personally identifiable...

One thing absent from the podcast however was an alternative. My partner on finding out about the data sale going on with period trackers (and having their mind poisoned with the concept of open source by me!) found Drip [2] which is an open source period tracker that's accurate, not exploitative, and not pink.

People in the US are innocent until proven guilty. Ending cash bail hasn't seemed to lead to any more crime, and if there was we'd hear about people skipping court dates. In fact, letting people keep their jobs and kids probably contributes to less crime.

Do you have any data or research connecting problems with bail reform? Beyond a doubt, any change like that will result in reactionaries complaining (and making up stuff about it), so that noise is not a signal of problems. That doesn't mean there aren't any, but let's focus on actual data and research.

Note that the people in the communities vote overwhelmingly for these reforms, and they are the ones living with the outcomes. A large proportion of people who have problems with it are outsiders.

Well in my mind if one is setting up an LLC for a shell company with $8 million in inventory, that's probably hard to say you are hard pressed for money for feeding the kids.

I admit its probably my own imagination that if one has warehouses, cash counters and shell LLCs for this size of operation that one is also aware and actively figuring out how to exploit bail reform and sub-$1000 theft limits in a way akin to BigCo lawyers reading anti-trust legislation to figure out the loopholes.

"Working with the task force, investigators tracked the stolen goods to 16 different storage lockers, warehouses and homes across the Bay Area. Much of the goods were then sold online through what law enforcement says was a shell company ... they found cash, a high-speed bill counting machine, and multiple vehicles... they found stacks of hundred dollar bills. Drago’s money was laundered through real estate transactions and other businesses."
Accurate transliteration should be fine though. There are also Slavic languages, such as Polish or Czech, that use the Latin alphabet.

One of the annoying things about Latin transliteration is that people use different phonetics of western languages. Should you use y or j for palatal sounds? Seems like there are also french influenced transliterations for vowels. These can be inconsistent based on the source.

A world of perfectly inoffensive, universally appealing art sounds… pretty horrible to me. You’re describing Budweiser and hotel art. Boring.

When I go to a modern art museum, I consider it a success if 90% of what I see is forgettable and 10% of it, or even 2%, is really powerful/sticks with me somehow. I’d much prefer this to 100% bland pictures of flowers and trees of which 0% will be memorable.

I have hopes but I doubt it.
>For the same reason. Vehicle seat are, for better or for worse, typically model-specific. Before there was Tesla there was nobody making Tesla seats. Would anybody be surprised if they start outsourcing that soon, given that they now have enough volume to attract third party suppliers and seat manufacturing is certainly not their competitive edge?

I doubt this will happen. Here is the reason they started making seats themselves as explained by the big cheese himself: https://youtu.be/YAtLTLiqNwg?t=357

Given what happened when they worked with supplier last time, I doubt they would want to give up the ability to innovate by going back to a supplier even if they are big.

Furthermore, I think suppliers might not be chomping at the bit to work with Tesla anymore. When the Model 3 was being developed, that insanely large preorder volumes caused some suppliers to do whatever it took to get the order from Tesla because of FOMO. Some even stripped their margin to the bone in the hopes of establishing a long term relationship with Tesla. In the end Tesla did not deliver on the numbers they promised and this lower volume caused massive financial problems for some suppliers, especially the smaller guys. I think there were even some bankruptcies of smaller outfits. Given Tesla's reputation as difficult to work with, I don't fully think they will get preferential treatment compared to someone like Toyota or Honda (which I hear suppliers love to work with).

FUN FACT: The largest Tesla skeptic subreddit /r/realTesla was started by someone who was supposedly a liaison between Tesla and the seat supplier during the Model X days. In fact he watched the whole Model X train wreck from start to finish and his banning from /r/teslamotors when he detailed all the disasters happening during Model X led to the creation of /r/Realtesla.

I have a reasonable amount of respect for Terry's technical competence, but a ... quirk of his personality is that he doesn't really respect the bounds around the truth.

If you know those bounds, you can filter him, but in general reading / listening to Terry is necessarily an active and selective process.

It's fair to say that some of the things he describes in this piece are true; he names some real people, and talks about some things that actually happened, but the tale as presented is more "inspired by" than "faithful to" the truth and many of the details are pure invention.

One thing that is true is that some of the folks he names - and praises - did indeed work extremely hard for much less recognition than they deserved.

I said from the beginning that it had some kernels of truth, but is reductive and simplistic. I don't think that's particularly strong language, I have since the beginning acknowledged that you can put together the kernels to truth to claim a sort of poetic truth - it's not a total fabrication. But that's all it is: a poetic truth. Actual truth of continuity between slave patrols and municipal police forces only exists in perhaps one southern city. The overwhelming majority of police forces do not have their roots in slave patrols. Slave patrols were disbanded, and police forces formed after abolition.

That's essentially summarizing the article: slave patrols existed in much of the south, but claiming continuity with today's police is a very big stretch, to the point where it's only poetically true.

It's more like if you took American to just mean "people of the USA". So it's more like "Canadians don't consider themselves part of the people of the USA". Inuit refers to a specific subgroup of people which have it as a word in their language. Many of those not in it, if you apply the label to them, they view it as if you insisted Canadians were part of the US people because "they live in the roughly same area and live kind of similarly".

Part of it is the word Eskimo. Not popular and falling out of fashion, people look for a replacement, and grabbed what a large subgroup of the people called that calls itself. And thus mislabeling those that are not in that subgroup.

To stretch the analogy again, lets assume for some reason "North American" has become a word to avoid, so lets just call all North Americans what the people from the USA call themselves to be more considerate. And the Canadians aren't happy with that.
