This seems a matter of constituency, not policy. The structural discrimination against black Americans remains starkly evident. To me, assessing “slightly less persecuted” as evidence of major policy distinction is buying into the false dichotomy I complained of further up.

The display processor would have to have some way to turn off the backlight LEDs and then sense the voltage generated by the laser. It is unlikely that the signal would be able to get back through whatever power device controlled the backlight power to get to a processor pin. The rest of the LED strings would probably load the signal down.
Our management was pushing for the same thing. This after I started last summer and was told they were 100% remote for those people who wanted to be.

So far it looks like there's been sufficient pushback that it's not happening. We also work with hardware and the first complaint I heard was the pain in the ass of having to move the hardware between work and home multiple times a week.

I didn’t read the article. But it is mostly accepted science that eating healthy can reduce hypertension in most people.

It’s also well known that most people won’t stick to the type of diet needed. So it still leads to the fact that drugs are the most effective treatment. It’s not like Big Pharma is getting rich off of water pills that went generic years ago and even without insurance are relatively cheap .

For what it's worth, I've been part of a Mozilla/Facebook partnership (on the Mozilla side) on data compression. Having two tech companies work together (especially when one of them is non-profit) often makes sense.

For this case? I'm sure that there is a good reason. I'm not a Mozilla anymore, so I haven't followed that story, but I imagine that the rationale is something along the lines of "These days, stuff we do in the browser don't have much impact, as web standards have been superseded by Chrome. However, whenever we manage to convince a big company such as Facebook to do even one thing better, we can improve the lives of billions of people."

PR impact might not be good, though.

I think you'll find, if you look with fresh eyes, that this thread is full of curious conversation.

Only your comment is dogmatic.
Insofar far as I understand GDPR, models (2) and (4) can run anywhere, provided that the data are ephemeral, encrypted in transit, and their output decision cannot be queried later (e.g. by logging a relationship between the input to the model and the eventual message delivery that includes PII like IP). The question of "where is the discussion stored?" would indeed be problematic if it were not possible for it to be encrypted in such a way that a key from both countries was needed in order to reveal the conversation plaintext, but I don't see a clear reason why that should not be possible (it may not be how Facebook actually stores conversations now, of course, but it is not a technical barrier).

As far as I can tell, the really difficult aspect here is how and where to permanently store the fact that the two users are talking to each other once the comments are actually made, since the mere fact that they are talking to each other demonstrates a relationship between them which may be considered PII in some contexts. Or at least, it would be difficult if the US also had privacy laws like the EU's, and IMO any coherent solution should be able to work if the US adopts something like GDPR. Unlike the message contents, this is quite difficult to store in a privacy-preserving way. I think the discussion would be more interesting and feel less like attacking a strawman if people were to focus on the interesting questions like this one, rather than the extremely uninteresting question of whether Facebook can serve posts to the US at all (which it obviously can).

Good question, and one I've answered here before.

> why didn't you use the GI bill to get free college?

I did. I went back for a semester, but the money wasn't enough in my area. I found myself working part time and going to school full time, then eventually doing both full time. The stress got to me and I dropped out again.

> Most universities will accept any veteran who has a GED or HS diploma

Maybe now, but this is not true as far as my experience goes. The only college that would take me at the time was a community college. I assume this is because I had dropped out mid-semester before. Some context, I was in the DEP and was selected early, so I left with about a weeks notice (This was 2009). When I applied to four year universities I was rejected fairly quickly.

> I find it alarming how many veterans never use the benefits they earned in their service.

Same, however, I think there's tell-tale signs of why.

Loss in institutional trust is one:

- The VA provides pretty abysmal care in most places with long waiting lines and subpar coverage. I, up until recently, have been missing a tooth that they extracted in-service and told me the VA would replace with an implant. They would never agree to finishing the work the Navy started.

- I've also had the VA fight with me over what bills need to be covered under disability and which I needed to pay for, with them pursuing my tax return at one point (When I really needed that money.)

- Proving disability with the VA was litigious. Around they time I gave up they started demanding I show up at some court in Waco, TX which was hours from where I lived. If I went to an outside doctor, I needed to have cash to cover whatever they wanted to do because the VA would frequently protest paying my medical bills - even at VA locations.

Another is the lack of post-service programs. I really needed help getting my life back on track, dealing with issues in mental health, etc -- these services were either sparse or did not exist where I was at the time. In the military I was given a week long course called "Seps & TAPS".

Last, and maybe not least, I was exhausted. I spent a total of a year in country and returned to civilianhood right around a year after I got back. Having to go to school full time and having to make up for what the Post 9/11 GI Bill wasn't covering wore me to the bone, along with dealing with the VA - who would always insist I skipped work to come see them.
Ask HN: How do you deal with mail anxiety?
I often wait hours before opening some important mails because I'm stressed about the content. And the more important mails I have to open during the day, the more I'm drained of my mental capacity to handle this stress.

I don't know if this is a crazy idea, but I thought about using sentiment analysis AI to read my mails before me, and tell me how positive or negative each message is without opening them first, so I can choose when I want to read bad news. Or sort my mails by priority.

Do you think that might be useful? or do you have better low tech solutions to that problem?(besides CBT, weed or xanax)

Facts! But seriously, if we're talking about the realistic risks printers pose in most environments, it is not having data exfiltrated via LED signaling or other vanity supply chain injection attacks; the number one risk is by having staff not dispose of sensitive documents properly, whether it's leaving them out on their desk or just chucking them in the bin, or taking them home with them, etcetera.

Vanity attacks with branded names like this "Lasershark" sound sexy and appealing, because they invoke James Bond-style gadgetry and accompanying delusions of grandeur, but real life is decidedly more prosaic: someone is going to discover infinitely more intelligence while expanding exponentially less time and energy by just good old fashioned dumpster diving than by designing and successfully implementing a novel airgap exfiltration methodology.

This is where American drug pricing does a lot of work. I used to work for a Canadian Internet pharmacy selling prescription drugs to Americans, splitting the difference between wholesale and US retail prices.

A 30-day supply of Lipitor - I think, the most-prescribed drug in America? - is something like $150–200. Our cost was something like a dollar and we'd sell it for something like ten.
I don't see any other way to do DNT without creating an extra facet of identifying information. It's entire point is to convey that information. Contrast with say "allow notifications" which lots of privacy advice says to leave to "ask" otherwise you needlessly add an identifying facet. That preference should be invisible to the sandboxed program, with unwanted notifications just going to /dev/null.

Also DNT is not useless modulo new human rights legislation like the GDPR. I would hope that data protection regulators settle on seeing DNT as an explicit sign of non-consent, and punish websites who try to fraudulently obtain consent with annoying popups etc.

Well of course it takes the invasion of privacy of upper echelon for it to be taken seriously. Had they been nobodies it would not be a scandal it would be normal. This is the problem with things like EARN IT too. Only once it's used against high powered innocents will it be a scandal, ergo privacy is not a right it is a product for the rich and powerful, not everyone.

2) CS at waterloo definitely skews to the cs-is-part-of-applied-math thinking in many ways. Other university CS programs are very different.

> do we want an ever-escalating arms race or a negotiated peace?

I have yet to see an evidence that a negotiated peace is possible, and I have seen a lot of evidence that suggests to me that it is impossible.

I personally would rather see hard anti-fingerprinting features in browsers, potentially combined with legislation to fill in the gaps. I have seen a lot of evidence from platforms like iOS, and from web standards like deprecating cookies, that advertisers are only willing to come to the table after they've already lost, and that they only come to the table to weaken existing standards.

I have a lot of criticism of Apple, but I look at some of the changes in iOS that were made in regards to Facebook, and it's hard for me not to conclude that the best ways to tangibly improve privacy on platforms like Facebook are to just move forward without its permission. I look at adblockers the same way, there were no conversations about acceptable ads until advertisers thought it was possible that adblockers might become widespread.

It's not clear to me what a negotiated peace would entail or how to get there, but it is very clear to me how to improve anti-fingerprinting measures and how to pass legislation. Yes, that means that we're in an arms race, but if we understand that advertisers are always going to advocate for more tracking, it follows that a theoretical negotiated peace would also need to be constantly renegotiated over and over again.

Short of burning the industry to the ground and not having ads online, which I think is a separate conversation, I don't believe there is a stable solution to advertising and privacy. Whether it's legislation or technology or industry standards, they will always need to be defended and reinforced and renegotiated. There will always be advertisers arguing that they should be more lax. And I think that's part of why the idea of an arms race isn't that scary to me, because to me all of it is an arms race, including negotiated acceptable ad standards.
You would be surprised by how easy a system designs itself according to it's constrains.

It seems less like gatekeeping and more like "I'm struggling for my life to climb this mountain on my own, and I'm not strong enough to drag up your dead weight up behind me. I'll train you if you seem to have the aptitude and drive to eventually become a useful partner in my struggle, but I'm not going to waste my life energy on people who will never be anything more than dead weight."

Calling it gatekeeping seems like a fish complaining that the birds are gatekeeping the sky. The sky is open for anyone, but only if you have wings to fly.
This. I have years of experience on Sql Server and just recent months on Postgresql, but I found the latter lacks simple and easy troubleshooting tooling. Bad query plan issues in Sql Server are not really an issue, something like the problem of this post would have take minutes to discover and fix using query store, that you can turn on and off when needed (I usually left it on, space is capped). Also if there were multiple plans computed and cached you could have forced sql server to use a specific one until a proper fix was deployed.

> There's no inherent reason to prefer more "natural" solutions to medical issues. It just sounds good. Put up clinical trials to give your hypothesis real standing.

Part oft he problem with clinical trials of nutrition is that they do not stratify for genetics. Take Riboflavin for example. For a long time there were studies saying it worked and then studies saying it did not. But when they looked at MTHFR variants in people the result became more consistent that for these people with the minor allele Riboflavin worked.

https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S01675...

https://jmhg.springeropen.com/articles/10.1186/s43042-022-00...

https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S03009...

So in this case, if someone was deficient in Riboflavin, supplementing Riboflavin is much more preferable since the deficiency is the root cause of the hypertension and correcting the deficiency might resolve a variety of issues, not just the hypertension.
Holy cow. I have the same exact feelings.
