> Your not buying the rights, that's the most annoying thing about NFTs, that people don't get.

You are buying the rights, but they're rights that exist in a pseudo-legal system that has no enforcement and isn't recognized by any existing legal authority. Some kind of enforcement could exist one day though.

For instance, it's possible that your house in a "metaverse" might only display art for the NFTs that it verifies you own.

> VR headsets

The actual headset itself is just the vehicle. Its general use of a virtual reality thats got me excited.

Right now we use all sorts of things to beam information into our faces. Mostly pixels from a screen (monitors, phones, VR headsets). I sincerely think the hardware thats going to knock it out of the park is this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_retinal_display

Imagine if you didnt actually have monitors, you just had a 3d space being projected into your eyes and everywhere you looked could be a space you could put something that would have otherwise been on a monitor.

You could have windows moving around in an Augmented-Reality style, and running a video game in "fullscreen" becomes a full VR.
I've thought about this problem quite a bit and, while my initial position was the same as above (math is not "real" per se) I had to concede that integers are real, because quantity is self-evidently real.

If you have four oranges, the quantity "four" is right there. If you take away one of those oranges you know that the result cannot be split evenly without a remaining orange because of the properties of odd numbers.

If you cut the remaining orange in half then you get a rational number, but is that self-evidently real? The halves of the orange are only "halves" because we consider them in relation to their origin, which we consider to be "one" orange. So rational numbers necessarily involve the human action of relating some quantity to a reference quantity, therefore they are a higher-level abstraction built on top of the fundamental physical property of quantity.

In the end I decided that math is based on a foundation of quantity (and maybe "space" as well?) and everything else was a derived abstraction. I am very curious if anyone else has a good argument for other parts of math being fundamental.

If they wanted to protect privacy, they would only have two responses:

"We confirm that this person worked for Apple, ending on [date]. By policy, we don't discuss any further details."

"We do not have records that this person worked for Apple."
Well, in regards to what the OP said, this whole "we need to track our users" stuff is bullshit. I see those "highly optimized" campaigns too, when something goes wrong and the SEA people start to cry because somebody stepped in their sand castle.

It means that if the company in question is in fact sufficiently morally repugnant, acting counter to their preferences is a good thing.
Speed cameras would be fine if we fixed some major problems. For example, the revenue goes to the local government so they have a vested interest in using them to generate as much income as possible. For another, American speed limits are often nonsensical and having nothing to do with the actual road conditions. I've been on tiny twisting roads with a limit of 65mph and I've been on giant thoroughfares that were 45 and seemed designed to tempt drivers into getting tickets.

a randomised unique ID and username/password are not personal data if they can't be used to identify a person. IF you associate that uniqueID or username with something that can identify the user (like IP/ Personal name etc) than yes it's illegal for you to store that data in US even with the consent of the user.

No one is saying you weren't a CSR, or an engineer, or anything else. They simply aren't providing that i for around. Instead, they are confirming employment, calling you an employee.

If you have never worked at a company that case employees "associates" this may feel foreign to you, but rest assured it's extremely common and not something to get your ego in a knot over.
Quantum mechanics is a mathematical description of the behavior of the universe, so wouldn’t invoking this to prove mathematical objects exist be begging the question?

Interesting that you neglected to mention that it's IMMENSELY SAFER for you and everyone else on the road. This is the worst part about driving - everyone thinks they're great at it and accidents don't happen. But they do, and the faster you're driving when an accident happens, the more likely it is for someone to die.
If the contractor finds asbestos, he's allowed to quote me more to do the work I hired him for.

When the laws change, your lawyer gets billed to review and update your contracts. As new legal precedents are formed, new legalese is created and updated and contracts are renegotiated.

Few things in the world are future proof for every conceivable externality. No one considers these professionals idiots simply because their domain has 'technical debt' too.

It us ok to have technical debt, to mention it, to bill to fix it, and to talk about it. And you only look like a fool if you try to cover it up and pretend it isn't there because 'its not the customers's problem'
It's the purest manifestation of the greater fool theory.
I was under the impression the problem was Apple was representing the person as a current employee, but I think I am wrong about that. If apple is confirming correct dates of employment, then I would have to retract.
Average home uses 30kWh per day. And that's average. Winter is higher, and would be much much higher if we were trying to use electricity to heat homes instead natural gas. Where do you live? CA? You have a lot more sun and land than other areas. Building the generation capacity in your area might not help areas that actually need the power to the north and east. And what if you need your car to have full power? What if you're not a low needs residential unit but a hospital? Or a factory? What if you have a couple low sun days in a row? What if your city just does not have enough power in reserves and its very cold or very hot?

Battery tech and solar is great, but its not the perfect solution.
> it disproportionally harms the poorest and most vulnerable of our society.

So does dying from Covid, or getting sick numerous times and missing work. Or not being able to afford missing work so you go in anyway and spread the disease, leading to your work being shutdown for weeks.

No matter what is done, the poorest and most vulnerable will be disproportionally affected. While I agree we can't perpetually mandate stay-at-home orders and expect everyone to live off savings, we _can_ expect the gov't to make that possible beyond the pathetic payments that folks received.
Ok but herpes never shut down the world. We never shut down or severely restricted capacity in restaurants, gyms, stores, hotels, etc. over herpes, or required a herpes test to leave the house or get on an airplane. There is no herpes vaccine, but I imagine that even if there were, you'd never be required to show your proof of recent herpes vaccination to go to a restaurant or even ride public transportation or stay at a hotel (the situation in Italy).

Nobody is denying that COVID causes problems for some people, the argument is that it doesn't justify forcing everyone to wear masks everywhere, get vaccinated multiple times to do anything in society, get COVID tested anytime one needs to travel (for countries that haven't shut down borders), and force remote learning on children. Maybe it's possible that the side effects from these authoritarian policies don't outweigh the benefits, and disproportionately harm the youth for the benefit of the elderly since COVID is only statistically dangerous for those close to the median age of life expectancy. Perhaps people should be able to vote with their feet.
I'm with you. As an American, my data is bought and sold before I'm even old enough to sign papers legally consenting. I don't like it and I want it to stop.
Even in a world with zero building regulation you're still running into constraints though. Sure, people could build more apartments which would slow growth in accommodation prices and maybe directly hurt the value of the neighbours' properties they overshadow, but land is still limited amd expensive (more expensive if you're allowed to build tenement blocks on it) and construction still physically intensive and expensive, so there's still no incentive to drive prices down by supplying more apartments than the market demands.

cf NFTs where digital art itself can be copied and viewed infinitely, and the NFTs themselves are just tokens issued at near zero cost by providers which could happily issue infinitely more tokens referencing the same art (even though at the moment, for the sake of trust and collectibility and not dampening the hype yet, it's more lucrative to issue finite numbers of additional tokens referring to more low-effort variations on the original art instead.)

And the current privacy laws in EU make the free services illegal. How is that any better than the scenario where paid services did not exist?
I'd agree with this, but this is orthogonal to tech debt IMO. Tech debt is a trade-off of a simpler / less extensible implementation in exchange for faster product / business validation of experimental (in some sense) code. It doesn't matter how fast the individual developer is: all that matters is that, where T is some arbitrary unit of execution speed, the simple solution takes e.g. 1T and the more future-proofed solution takes 2T or 3T.

Like I said here -> https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30286860, I think this whole thread is proving slightly unproductive because everyone has their own definition, and concrete example, of tech debt in mind - and so we're all talking at cross purposes about different things.

I suspect that lots of the stuff people seem to implicitly be talking about is not tech debt by my definition, but rather just shoddy code. That seems to be what your comment is talking about. If you can write a better implementation in the same time (subtracting time taken to learn about either implementation technique) then it's not tech debt AFAICS.
> you can totally contribute to a privacy violating network … so long as the data is located and processed in France.

While that's not the issue being discussed here, you should by default only collect & process the minimum amount of data needed for the product/service to function. Analytics aren't part of that and would need to be opt-in.
I feel like I should weigh in on this because I seem to be one of the unlucky ones with heart impact.

I'm 40 years old and prior to catching covid on Jan 1st I was in the best shape of my life. I ran 9 ultramarathons last year, including a 40 mile run on my birthday. I was double vaccinated and boosted on December 7th, all Moderna. I do 100 pushups and 100 squats a day and was regularly running 30 miles per week. (50km)

Covid took me out for 3 full weeks and my fitness wasn't enough to power through it. The first symptoms were extreme fatigue but what is hanging on is chest pain. I have had to significantly cut back my training.

Only in the last week do I feel like I can get back to a more normal pace and that's with a measured concern to not overdo it. I always feel great at the time, but afterwards I'm paying the price.

I plan to continue training at a reduced effort to try and bring back my fitness. I've never had something that holds on for so long before.
Yes, and when you go shopping and pay with cash in a store with no surveillance, your shopping habits are being shared against your wishes with a random third party (the external company bookkeeper).

It's disingenuous to have problems with websites collecting entirely anonymous browsing data -- that goes beyond any arguments for privacy and just steers into "yelling at clouds" territory.
I disagree pretty strongly with what you've said here. Specifically, part of my job is to make sure my customer is aware of the options and the costs of each of those options. Doing things the faster/less robust way now will have a cost later (re-implementation of some part, etc). And then I do my best to convince them of the approach that I think is best. But only telling them about the option I think is best and _not_ discussing the viable/reasonable options... is definitely not my job.

Implementing a faster solution that will have costs later isn't me choosing to do a rubbish job. It's me helping my client make the best use of the available time/money.

When I hire a company to install a new heating system, they present me with various options; better/worse hardware, single/multiple zones, brand new hot air lines vs rewrapping existing vs using existing unchanged, etc. The person from the company may have a strong opinion on what is best, but listening to them and then making the decision I think is best is expected.
So, uh, if you leave apple you could just put "Directly Responsible Engineer/Principal Engineer" on linkedin and... nobody could verify it, and apple wouldn't have the data to prove you wrong anymore?

> I wonder what is driving this large difference

I'd bet good money that a huge part of the equation is booze or pills. As a former paramedic, booze or drugs accounted for like 80% of accidents I dealt with. Why so high compared to official stats? I think because I live in a relatively rural area whereas most people live in high density cities. Also, sometimes booze doesn't get counted in the official accident statistics if people don't get charged for whatever reason. People don't generally crash unless they're drunk, high, inexperienced, or something unexpected happens like they hit a deer or something.

In this case, I'd venture to guess there's less demand to drive in France, and they have a better safety net, and we probably had a lot more drunks.
You raise an interesting point. Who's data is it?

If you walk into a grocery store, and cameras record which aisle you walk down, which items you stop to look at and which things you buy. Is that legal?

What if the cameras block out your face and all identifying features. Is that legal?

Do you own a blob of a person walking down an aisle? Does the grocery store?

I essentially solved all of my sleep problems by doing the following:

Getting 15-30 minutes of bright light exposure first thing in the morning. Ideally this would be sunlight, but I don't have that option this time of year based on how early I wake up (I'm in the PNW and wake up at 6am), so I use a sun lamp I bought on Amazon.

Likewise, minimizing blue / bright light after the sun goes down. If I need to use my computer, I have flux installed and set to the lowest brightness setting. I do something similar for my phone as well.

Supplementing glycine, magnesium glycinate (which also contains glycine), l-theanine, and ashwaghanda in the evening before bed. Glycine has had the most impact on my sleep. It's as if I had been exiled from dream-land before, but now I've been allowed back! My sleep is so much deeper. Note: I bought the BulkSupplements powdered version on Amazon and take 3-5x the recommended dose in my evening smoothie. I've found megadosing magnesium in this way also helps. The recommended doses seem to be way too low, especially if you happen to be deficient.

As someone who spends a significant portion of the day in front of a screen, I can't emphasize enough how important managing light exposure throughout the day is. Check out the Huberman Lab podcast if you haven't already. This episode in particular is what started me down the path to correcting my sleep:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nm1TxQj9IsQ

After watching that episode, I used my sun lamp to dial in my circadian rhythm over the course of a couple weeks. I was then able to wake up at the same time every morning without an alarm clock, which for me was a miracle.

Many of the MIDI CC's have defined semantics, and another bunch do not. Many MIDI receivers choose to ignore those defined semantics (e.g. bind "volume control" messages to some arbitrary parameter). If you choose to ignore the semantics for the defined CC's, or only use the undefined ones, then MIDI CC does become more like CV. However, that's not the intention of the MIDI specification, and it certainly doesn't cover the rest of the MIDI specification, which dwarfs the CC part.

The original ruling was nuanced, and this ruling is clarifying some gray area inside of it.

The ruling on Schrems II (the court case that struck down Privacy Shield) did not state that SCCs on their own would be sufficient. It said that SCCs + "additional safeguards" would be allowable. There have been several rulings already that SCCs on their own are not sufficient.

The "additional safeguards" must include a risk analysis of US access to EU residents' data. Every court case I've seen from Schrems II onward identifies the US CLOUD Act as the privacy risk to address. CNIL is basically ruling that you cannot transfer data to a US company subject to the CLOUD Act, and an SCC cannot deal with that. This still leaves open the possibility of using US services that are not subject to the CLOUD Act. This is consistent with all rulings to date.

it was never 'transient.' this was a platitude espoused by the fed to assuage rising fears of stagflation.

the only way to fight inflation is to raise interest rates, but since the fed is only now in the next month or so ceasing buyback operations for bonds, its hard to imagine theyll have the momentum within the year to stop the quantitative easing binge thats left the US (and the world) with a corporate credit bubble.

tl;dr its here to stay. raising the prime interest rate is the only way to really combat stagflation, but the fed cant do it without triggering a corporate credit crisis.
