Germany asks for your religion during your address registration, to collect church tax. It's one of the first forms you'll fill after moving to Germany.

I read this as an attempt to explore the tension between people who want total anonymity and people who just don't want their personal information abused. Sure, there are companies that abuse your information and yeah that's a violation of privacy. But the way I am reading the argument, the solution to one company violating your privacy isn't necessarily a surefire: we should take one more step towards total anonymity. Rather, it depends on the threat model.

> Also, someone "being okay" with a violation of privacy is not a sufficient indicator. Objective harms exist and they don't go away because the user is ignorant or convinced, or coerced to make "acceptable trade-offs".

Curious what you'd consider an objective harm. For example, I've been in discussions where any stable identifier is objectively harmful because it could be used by a service to track you. Therefore we can't do things like mutual authentication since your cert has a globally unique name, allow signatures in the browser because your key is a global identifier, behave normally at layer 2 (thanks Apple, I can't manage devices on my network anymore because they all randomize their MAC), or find my nearest Lowes because now my traffic exits 5 states away because ~~Apple wants to own my data~~ of my big scary ISP who can't be trusted.

Sadly the only conclusion I can come to is that these problems are social and, though technology may have introduced new means to abuse people's privacy and it's natural to seek a technology solution, ultimately require legal solutions. For example, "deleting" IP addresses from the internet is not an acceptable solution in the fight against privacy abusers. Nor is telling services they can't collect information that could identify you unless they need it because, well, everyone needs it at some level and it turns out everything can identify you in the right context.

Punishing people who abuse others' privacy is the solution. That, or, technology would need to let me select a la carte exactly which identifiers I want to allow and which I don't and we'd have to live with most everyone never touching those toggles and blissfully remaining tracked and targeted. Frankly I'm sick of privacy nut technologists (who no doubt are genuinely concerned for everyone's safety on principle) continually pushing everyone towards "tracking evasion" when all that most people really care about is surface level "tracking resistance".

That much, at least, I resonated with in the essay.

Corporations have legal personhood because they are acting on behalf of their owners, and the actions taken by a corporation are actually carried out by or on behalf of the employees. The owners are people and the employees are people, and both groups have rights, and you can't deny those rights just because they are acting through proxies or collectively. It also doesn't just apply to corporations, but also trade unions, charities, etc, etc on the same basis. So really that's about delegation, rather than corporations as entities being in any way like people, or collective consciousness, or anything like that.

Not to be all conspiratorial but I noticed my gut reaction to this statement was “I wonder how much of that from WHO/CDC is stretching the truth to prevent stigma”.

The CDC really did a real number on its own credibility by showing itself to willfully stray from reasonable public health strategies in order to push political agendas. I wonder how much more monkeypox will spread above what it otherwise would do to this same politics over health approach that puts “prevent stigmatization” over “save lives”
> but bigger ones can benefit from specialization and division of labor

I think it is central to the DevOps concept is that dev vs. ops segregation—at least on the small team level, perhaps not at the individual level—is a counterproductive division of labor that inherently fosters micro-optimizations on both sides of the divide that are counterproductive to effective value delivery. On a continuously available software service, the lowest-level product team should own it's components soup to nuts rather than having a dev team throwing hopefully-deployable code over the wall to an ops team.

> If the project has cultural issues that would cause severe correctness issues regardless of the language's semantics, it may not be that useful to talk about technical solutions that would let other projects without these cultural issues make a language with similar semantics and fewer correctness issues.

How can solving – or failing to solve – a technical issue that could then lead to insights shared between communities ever be a bad thing? Maybe I am just too thick to see it? But I am ending my efforts at this point as I am not getting any closer to understanding what you are trying to convey.

As for your “comebacks”, we clearly have very different standards and expectations when it comes to discourse. Where I come from, those that bring claims are expected to also bring adequate evidence – or at the very least attempt to do so and not spread claims just to later throw their hands into the air when called out for it.

That was our view of the original that we watched when it first came out.
Yeah, the title of the article immediately made me think of that other company that was "poised for an aviation revolution", but only got as far as building a hangar. LTA Research is lucky that they can use an existing hangar rather than having to build a new one. At airship sizes, that's a pretty big investment.
That's not been my experience at all. Developers absolutely do need to be roped in to help put out fires when the application is misbehaving, and most of us quite assuredly want to keep that to a minimum. And having reliable, smooth and well-regulated DevOps processes is a huge enabler for ensuring robustness and minimizing the chance of bad code getting deployed to production.

Embedding more information isn't really the problem: alternatives have always existed, it's just that none of them were as brief and good as this one. E.g. normally you'd catch then re-raise another exception with a new message with extra information and the original one as inner exception. The issue with that is that the resulting message/stacktrace isn't as readable as these notes.
They are not useless at all. Because they are introspectable new types of extremely ergonomic libraries have sprung up (FastAPI, Pydantic), as well as the developer experience improving.

Comparing Kubernetes Operators for PostgreSQL
Well, generally if you propose a law like that there is a large discussion around it and those that propose it usually write a whole bunch of 'this is why its a good idea' stuff.

The Bundesrat (i.e. the State Council) sometimes proposes an alternative. So they might say 'Initiative X proposes Y, but the State Council recommends a compromise where we do Z instead'. And then when you vote on it you have 3 options, rather then just 'yes' or 'no'.

There is also a check of the highest court, where they basically say 'this isn't really according to international law'. However that is just a recommendation and people can ignore it when voting.

Also, even if something goes threw, the actual implementation usually slightly adjust to reality on the ground somewhat.

I have a neighbor who only uses the touchscreen on their ThinkPad, except when they have to type something.

The other day I stopped by to help them troubleshoot a problem, and they had to do a password reset.

They touched the Old Password field on the screen and typed in their old password on the keyboard. They touched New Password on the screen and typed in the new one. Of course then they had to touch the second New Password field on the screen and enter it again on the keyboard. Finally they reached up to touch the OK button on the screen.

I mentioned that they could avoid going back and forth between screen and keyboard by using the Tab and Enter keys. They asked, "What are those?" I pointed them out on the keyboard and explained what they do.

We will see if the message got through. Hopefully with some gentle encouragement over time, it will.

My real point is that yes, some people do use touchscreen laptops.

>the law doesn't care if its infeasible or not.

Sure, option 3 is to stop offering the products. But simplistically, I expect companies to obey these laws when it is feasible. I'm not surprised that they shrug it over when they have no idea what to do. As you say, when (or if) it comes to a trial, the interpretation of the law for this particular case will be clarified.

I think part of the reason why lawmakers made GDPR so vague was to not outright ban things which didn't even cross their minds (like GPT models), but instead let a court evaluate these cases in context down the line.

Of course it's not the best situation, especially for small businesses which cannot risk working on a product that might or might not be illegal.

Personally, I tend to use simple diagrams to illustrate the basics. I try to keep them as small and minimal as possible. This way I can reduce the risk of excess work if something changes. If the case, that I want to illustrate, is too complex to fit into a small ASCII diagram, it most likely should be better modeled in a dedicated modeling tool (I use Sparx EA).

Also I think that modeling languages like Mermaid are a nice alternative for small to medium diagrams. But these wont work in code comments. But they can be fitted into a Markdown file.

> This move by Indonesia most aggressive so far, expect others to follow

It is the longest lasting one by duration, as Portugal offers 3 year DN visa via D7 and then a 2 year extension, but Portugal has a path to PT (and therefore EU) citizenship after 5 years.

So in terms of interrogation it's hardly the most aggressive where they need a way to offset their debt to GDP ratio (over 100% since 2008 which is coupled with 20+ years of brain drain).

Bali has it's benefits, it's a Low cost of living and an amazing culture and cuisine to explore, but Bali has a reputation much like Boulder: and for those of use who have already spent time there we'd rather 'wait and see' how this plays out. I'm a big fan of Bali, but it's the people who go there that I have an issue with, especially in the age of the enlightened influencer jetting off to Ubud for morning yoga sessions sponsored by Lululemon.

It's pretty gross, and that bastardization has changed the landscape significantly over the years but things like Green School are an example of where things can go right when the funds are re-directed: their curriculum has enviormental entrepreneurialism at it's core. It was always a goal of mine to spend some time there, even if it's just cooking for the kids.

Either way, this is cool, but I'd like to see some more incentives before I decide to pull the trigger as I'm already a DN in the EU.
