If interest rates don't rise, then sure - inflation is likely to show up in higher housing costs, which means you'll deflate away that loan and your asset will appreciate.

If interest rates rise, then you have one or two problems.

If your loan isn't at a fixed rate, then you'd better hope you can still afford your mortgage. Say you paid a 20% downpayment on a home worth $375K. A $300K note at 3% is a $1,250 per month expense, but at 8% it's $2,200 a month. People forget, but mortgage rates were 8% as recently as 2000.

Even if your rate is fixed, new buyers have affordability problems due to the same phenomenon, which hits valuations. If you can afford $1,250 a month, maybe you can afford $1,500 after some inflation pads out your pay check.

But, with rates at 8%, that's only a $200K mortgage, so maybe a $375K home is only a $250K home in the new rate environment and you're in negative equity all of a sudden. If you need to sell, then you're losing the initial downpayment and you may still end up owing the bank. If you can't cover it, say goodbye to your creditworthiness.
No, money is supposed to be good at storing value as well. That's why gold evolved as the world currency over the last 8000 years, and that's why central banks still hoard it in bunkers. You can't easily devalue it by creating more of it.

You're failing to understand that treasury bond markets have an important function in the macro economy; ideally, a safe way to save and store value with low risk. And they are larger than stock markets.
At last someone admits it outright - you want the EU to be an island, walled off from the rest of civilization, and perhaps also reality

I only glanced through this, but would you say there’s some vague similarities (ignoring the distributed/caching aspects) to Facebook’s TAO here? For example, as a user of this, would I have to care about the Postgres schema, or is that abstracted away from me?

(Tao uses mysql and stores graph data as pretty much key/value pairs, and then a layer on top to query it)
Making AirTags safe is fundamentally impossible, a bit like trying to make a knife impossible to hurt yourself with.

For example:

> deliberate disabling of the speaker rendered the device useless after a few days

That only kicks the can. Now people will silence the speaker from outside, for example by covering the whole AirTags in superglue and foam to muffle all vibrations.

What they’ve been doing is tons and tons and incomprehensibly many tons of work on targeting and selling advertisements.
The thing many people don’t realize is many companies post jobs just to say they did when they already know they’re going to hire/promote from within. They usually know exactly the person they want to place in the role. Even just internally allowing things to be open for application/interview avoids a lot of issues where person A gets a promotion but that person B felt entitled to. Most of the jobs you see on many boards are not actively looking for candidates.
The problem is there position is completely irrational when you take the amount of damage down to standards of living to the negligible environmental damage done from PV panels. It's almost like the goal is to maximize human misery not minimize environmental damage.

I've reached out via these forms to Stripe once. I wanted a change from a senior role at a faang. Got nothing at all.

The best part is a Stripe recruiter then contacted me over 6 months later on linkedin, apparently unaware of my application and I had to decline since I just started a new role in the meantime.

A suggestion to recruiters. Find where the inbox for these applications goes. Clearly no one's checking.

And grass is green.

Credit Suisse and UBS need to either stop with this garbage or finally die off. The way it looks now they have decided to die off.

The previous CS CEO was just fired for violating Swiss covid regulations on multiple occasions but he was supposed to be the guy at CS to change the culture to one of obeying the rules and reducing risk.

CS has also just reserved half a billion dollars to deal with upcoming lawsuits. It is not looking good.

UBS has decided to appeal the French lawsuit they lost and would have had to pay a fraction of what they were held responsible for. By appealing this it may get way worse and keep this in the news. Great job UBS.
There's a critical nuance that you're ignoring, which is whose data is being stored. In the incident in question, it wasn't Microsoft's data. It was the data of a customer of Microsoft. You're treating several different scenarios as "data controlled by Microsoft," but there are sharp distinctions between Microsoft's own HR records, vs an email belonging to one of Microsoft's customers.

US law doesn't distinguish these scenarios very much because of the Third Party Doctrine, where data given to a third party has no expectation of privacy. But this is a view rather particular to the US not shared by much of the rest of the world, and certainly not by GDPR (or its predecessors). One way or another, the CLOUD Act is still basically saying that US legal doctrine applies to data stored in other jurisdictions. And GDPR is stating, correctly, that this doctrine is not compatible with EU data privacy obligations. EU policy is very much the opposite of the Third Party Doctrine (and the winds are slowly turning against it in the US as well), and third-party data controllers have positive obligations to safeguard the privacy of data given to them.

Given this scenario, I don't see the nightmare scenario you're posing actually manifesting. EU data protection laws do nothing to curtail Microsoft handing over Microsoft's data. There's just data that Microsoft physically stores which they is not legally theirs.

I've said this in other threads, but I'm probably done buying AirTags, because the anti-stalking features, that I assume you're aware of, are so annoying, that I don't want to add any more to my life.

When I get in my car with my wife, we both get a notification that an AirTag is following us, because my wife is potentially stalking me with her purse and keys. I can silence this notification for only one day. I can't disable it, because that's what a stalkers or abusive boyfriend would do. They randomly beep and boop to notify me that they exist, and I'm being stalked, and to put my phone near the offending AirTag so I can see the serial and last four digits of the owners phone number.

If someone were actually stalking me, I probably wouldn't notice.

I think the whole concept is almost doomed, if you're to be satisfied. The purpose of an AirTag is to track a thing. The desire of a stalker is to track a thing. I don't think these two identical problem spaces can exist together, in some harmonious way, that would satisfy people with your concerns, without constant annoyance. Just imagine if these were more popular and you did something crazy like, got on a bus, or went on a plane, walked any reasonable distance down a street with someone in your proximity.

I would love to hear a solutions that doesn't result in constant notifications. I also think it's completely silly to say "We'll we just have to restrict location track of anything, because there are bad people out there. Period." If the metric is to stop all the bad, then technology needs a huge lobotomy!
This sounds like a lot of reinvention of the JSON/JSONB support that Postgres has already had since 9.2/9.4. They have a slide deck with a variety of in-depth examples. https://wiki.postgresql.org/images/7/7c/JSON-by-example_FOSD...

I agree. As a control theorist, I'd be much more comfortable with a PID controller running the ship, and I think it would do a better job.
Reading that essay, it sounds an awful lot like "Lean Development"[0], although in my own work I have often found that things that seem super urgent in one particular moment often benefit a great deal from setting them aside as long as you can stand, as that makes the requirements more concrete. It also means that you don't end up doing work on things that probably don't need doing.

I've been putting off (for a long time) one big, complicated user requested feature on my mobile app to do with archiving/managing a local database on the mobile device. It turned out that the things I thought I needed 12 months ago I don't really need at all, so procrastinating about it actually improved the delivered experience.

I do procrastinate, but I think it's a useful trait when you find yourself dealing with a big organisation that tends to throw off useless tasks because somebody feels like if they aren't producing requests, then they aren't being productive (middle management disease).

It’s not “stealing” when you license software as MIT then decide you don’t like a particular user.

And nothing will stop it, even if you license it commercially - they would just be evil paying customers instead. This is completely orthogonal to OSS.

Have any of the AirTag stalking mitigations actually been defeated by hackers? Besides physically removing the speaker.

The “an AirTag is traveling with you” alerts haven’t been defeated as far as I can tell. Apple tweaked some of the time periods after launch but the core technical mitigations are the same.

I agree the current situation is non-ideal, but it’s not clear to me this is from a lack of sufficient pre-release pentesting.

I was learning Japanese in Tokyo while also working on a small-business accounting app. Japanese accounting is extremely specific, so even for someone enrolled in classes, there was no way I would be learning all those kanji any time soon. I impressed a Japanese co-worker though, because I quickly learned visually where the buttons I needed to click were so I could copy the app features from iPhone to Android. Turns out you don't have to be able to read almost anything as long as you see something used correctly and can remember button locations visually etc.
Life expectancy was worse, for reasons of awful (compared to now) child mortality and also because many other major diseases killed people before they could get the cancers of old age that today skew so many cancer statistics towards higher prevalence. Despite this, cancer was no stranger to the 1930s, and treatment options were virtually non-existent if it did arrive.

Furthermore, antibiotics simply didn't exist, so goodbye life or in the better case, limb, if even minor infections became bad. It was largely a firm understanding of germ theory that prevented more infection deaths at the time. Beyond that, Life expectancy in general ranged from just over 57 years in 1929 to only 63 years by the mid 1930s.

Despite your flippant claim about "processed shit" being at fault for our supposedly awful modern life, you'd generally be much better off and much healthier today, even if your diet isn't entirely perfect. Also worth mentioning: the most common causes of death during the depression were: "cardiovascular and renal diseases, cancer, influenza and pneumonia, tuberculosis, motor vehicle traffic injuries, and suicide". These were major problems then and even now some of them remain major problems just like then despite fewer processed popular diet options at that time.

Is it time for our anti-trust laws to separate platform and content?
With the modern computing age we are finding that tech companies build out platforms for others to use, but then also create their own content on these platforms, and then unfairly leverage the platform to prefer their content over others.

This is clearly anti-trust, yet it happens over and over. Google/Android. Amazon's store vs amazon's own products. Microsoft/Xbox, and so forth. Even historically this is the heart of what's defined previous monopolies -- like when the movie studios had to sell off the theaters in the mid-20th century, for the same reason.

It'd be a really clean fix if it was clarified in our legislation that if you provide a platform which allows other companies to add content into (i.e. an operating system, or ecosystem like iphone, xbox, playstation), AND you also provide content for that platform (applications/games), that you have to maintain separation and openness -- your platform cannot provide any advantage to your applications over others, and CONVERSELY that your content producers (studios) cannot be exclusive.

In the latest deal with Microsoft -- they shouldn't be buying studios to provide content to their xbox platform and ALSO making them exclusive xbox.

Is clarification like this even possible with our legislation?

"It's the UX stupid!"
sorry I didn't mean the MAC address but rather an HMAC-based key derivation. I suspect they rotate MAC addresses every half hour or so, but the broadcast itself is encrypted such that you can't tell two belong to the same AirTag without knowing the secret.

I might have a secret key for the AirTag, and the encrypted messages derive a new key each day based on the current date, then encrypt a check-in message based on the current time.

If I share the secret key, its permanent access until a hardware reset of the AirTag. If I want to share "for a while", I just share a bag of those derived keys for the date range. The UX might represent it as not having a date range, and my devices which know the secret just periodically share out the derived keys when online to give out keys, and effectively make it so that any revocation of permission takes a week.

The other option is for me to be able to share enough information with Apple's servers that (on permission change) it blocks the AirTag web service query itself. That won't help you with any shared secrets allowing someone to detect its the same tag even after MAC rotation.
The goto answer for this is that they have the number of employees they have because they deemed each new employee to provide more value than they cost to employee. That’s their goal. Their goal is not to have the minimal number of people required to run some very simplistic description of their company. They would employee a thousand milk delivery people if they thought each one would provide more value than their cost to employee.
So it deflects privacy! Who is it protecting from privacy?
Every time I come across this or similar examples, the phrasing always tricks one into thinking "A therefore B" and "B therefore A". As soon as it's clear that is not the case, the problems become relatively easy.

I may be incorrect, but I believe once you are near the car that it can connect via Bluetooth and operate over that local network, rather than going through the public internet and routing commands through Tesla's servers, but again, I could be misunderstanding how those features operate.
>I am also a liberal raised with a Western education.

Lucky you.

We need more Western education, not less, which is why fragmentation is a bad thing. My country of birth - in Africa - is aligned with the formerly communist nations; if they had to opt-in to a fragment, it wouldn't have been to the Western one. I might have never been able to emigrate.

Fragmentation seems like a leap backwards in time and a slap in the face of the promise inherent in the free flow of information.

> ...shouldn't be it a society that needs to somehow change (I've no idea how, though), rather than technologies killed because it threats existing societal stuff?

We've allowed, collectively, anything that falls in the "tech" realm to deploy first, ask questions later, and more or less force society to conform. I think it's been absurd, we see more and more backlash against it, and rightly so. A company shouldn't be able to just ignore the law and do whatever they want because they use computer chips, but we've seen more or less exactly that in a number of cases.

- Uber/AirBnB can be seen as venture-capital funded, money losing ways around existing taxi/hotel/rental laws, and their tendency to expand into a market without permission and then demand the right to stay there against the laws that prohibit exactly such things, is an example of this model.
- The various "Dump tons of scooters in a city without asking, profit, and make cleanup the city's problem" is another example here. It's littering, really, but somehow tech companies involved get a pass because it's neat.
- Literally every "We collect all the behavioral data you don't realize we're collecting to improve our models of you so we can sell better advertisements to our actual customers" business model does the same thing - take first, ask permission never (or, at least, try very hard to never have the topic come up).

I'm not OK with this, and I hope more and more people aren't OK with it either.

> I hate to say this but it really feels that our assumptions of privacy are becoming outdated and there's no going back.

Privacy shouldn't be something subject to the current state of technological surveillance. We should, as a society, decide what privacy ought to be, and then limit tech companies accordingly.

Europe seems to be making decent headway on this front, with "No, you can't just keep doing that..." rulings against tech companies. I hope that spreads.
You don't have to actually do that. The devices aren't directly authorized by Apple. So long as you broadcast the right beacons over BT you can make any device findable by the Find My network.
