We should not destroy this planet JUST so that we can colonise other planets. That is risky at best, self-sabotaging at worst.

Jesus Christ. This is super simple, we all learned this math in highschool: time taken to freeze is a function of the mass that needs to freeze and the temperature difference. If you cheat by allowing some of the hot mass to evaporate in order to lower the temperature more quickly you can potentially get the remaining mass to freezing temperature faster, but that isn't relevant to overall freezing time.
There is a chance that privacy "shield" is the opposite of what you think it is.

Privacy shield was the idea to do as if US and EU privacy rules meet the same standard. This has been striken down by the EU court of justice for the ridiculous stretch that it was.

That means now that privacy shield has been invalidated, EU and US privacy law is not compatible with each other. On top of that any US company can give you as many contractual guarantees as they like — they still will have to comply with the patriot act and give data to US secret services without any court interaction (or was it one of those shady "secret courts"?) — all of which is in violation of the European Convention on Human Rights.
For anyone interested... Derek quotes 5 theorised causes but rules all but 2 insignificant, leaving the primary confounding problems as:

1. Warm liquid changing the nature of the freezer (Derek mentions melting frost into a conducting layer but there's also warm water triggering the thermostat of a freezer to work harder)

2. Supercooling can prevent ice forming in calm water, even when the water is below freezing (the effect is wildly unpredictable leading to experimental problems)

Derek then quotes the following study and meta analysis from 2016 that carefully accounts for these and other problems, which finds no evidence of the effect and concludes the other studies' claimed effects are within their own margins of error (including issues like placing thermometers at slightly different locations in a vessel giving dramatically different timing results):

Most of the examples mentioned in the article already require your identity (opening bank account, tax return, etc).

Others are outright creepy. You can't access medecine without verifying your ID? That locks lots of people out of access to healthcare (illegals, tourists, etc). Age verification? So porn websites will store the real id of all their visitors (or alternatively a central EU age verification system will be notified every time you visit such a website)?

In France for instance it is illegal to identify people by their social security number in a system (at least it was 20 years ago). That's a safeguard to prevent it from making it too easy to correlate an identity across many systems. This ID scheme will go around that. To be honest I think that law was passed at a time where surveillance was still considered evil. I think governements of most liberal democracies today are actually entertaining stasi-style surveillance as a greater good.
You are right that there is no lessons for "modern machines" as we build them now.

But that is precisely my point: Maybe there are better ways to build them ?

The article does point out that several countries have these kind of systems but they are not cross border. Solving that is supposed to be part of this initiative. Being able too use a swedish issued id to authenticate in the Netherland would imo be a nice and a big step forward.

Providing governments with a de facto mandatory electronic ID for every citizen is inherently providing the means to surveil, though.

I also wonder how this will be regarded in countries like Ireland, which doesn't have a national ID card and where a recent attempt to make a similar digital ID system mandatory was ruled unlawful (PSC/MyGovID).
At least in the United States, there’s nothing to stop someone from independently implementing the Wolfram Language and libraries and not paying Wolfram anything. See Oracle v. Google (U.S. 2021), which held that copyright law does not protect libraries (e.g. structure, function names, semantics) and APIs because they’re necessary for compatibility/interoperability. The highest court said that was fair use for Google to completely copy (reimplement) Java and all its standard libraries. Someone else could do the same thing with Wolfram Language and it’s libraries.
Is not the same scale cut out used in Scaled Yolov4 and previous research? (Though this one is on AP not mAP). It seems it is needed since the improvement would be hard to appreciate if it would show a 0-100 scale, since improvement in OR models are precisely not dramatic.

So yeah, while 2 months is a short time in some circumstances, allowing the contract to be terminated by both parties is an important aspect

Let's not do it like in Canada where you're pretty much forced to leave at the end of the contract or you renew it for a whole year (and in some cities, all contracts end on the same date oof)

There is zero to worry about privacy because out of these social network apps, TikTok is the least invasive and doesn't really have much private information about users at all.

About security, US may worry about what such a powerful platform can influence users. Think about how people were saying about Facebook when Trump was elected. And how US has been using Facebook in other countries to influence people.
They say that "books and exercise" are the foundations of a good living. I find it amazing that one helps you do the other, though. Especially with audiobooks: read as you train, train as you read.
I assume your argument is that Slack has the "freedom of contract", the right to create and offer you contracts of their choosing (and you are free to accept or decline them). That right is not absolute. Workers rights limit it, sanctions limit it, cartel and competition laws limit it. There is no reason society can't agree to limit the options of keeping an API locked down in such contracts, especially for well established companies like Slack.

And I think the advantages of such a law are very clear: More competition on front-ends could very likely create much better user experience (better organization of chats, better message and image editor, better notifications, show users whether messages have actually been sent).

Laws are made to serve the public [1]. Being nice to companies is a means to an end, not the goal itself, and the discussion about whether API should be legally accessible to third party vendors (or devices/cars/… should be legally repairable by third party repair shops) should focus on whether we get better user experience, service, and so on, and have the question of whether companies will still want to offer backend-service like Slack under such a law as a facet.

[1] At least they should be and everybody complaints when they aren't.
The issue is more what happens when you buy a new phone or lose the old one. Then you need the full iCloud details and password. More than one person I know has got to that state and have no idea what it was. They don't even know what their own email address is to start with.

Incidentally I know how it works. I work next to the sector. The issue is that these are all legitimate questions that we have to work with daily and the abstract "we will arrest you until you ID yourself" does not work when you book a hotel...
> Automatically checking identity is hard.

This seems like a feature, not a bug.

I've literally never had or heard of Slack crashing, across Windows, Ubuntu and macOS, regardless of memory available (8-32GB) and use. Do people really have Slack regularly crash on them or is that just something that gets attached to Electron (for some reason).

In many cases when it is meant to, it should not.

I never had to prove my identity to rent a flat in the EU. Good people trust each other.

Why is it considered OK to take a bus or eat at a restaurant anonymously but renting an apartment or paying humble sums of money is not?

> which held that copyright law does not protect libraries

Correct me if I’m wrong but it held that this specific case was fair use, not that structure, function name, etc are not copyrightable. While it does give a huge precedent case, code in itself is still under copyright by default.

But IANAL.
Counter example: MATLAB.
Proprietory software, proprietory language, yet it remains unrivalled in control engineering, DSP, communication systems and so on.

I genuinely hope that Octave can take off and trade blows with MATLAB face to face, but not sure if that will ever happen simply because of the amount of money MathWorks is pumping into developing toolboxes.
That's a false dichotomy. We can create a world where our right to privacy is respected by both governments and the private sector.
This looks awesome and I love seeing FOSS, privacy-first equivalents of Big Tech. The video was really, really cute – and you could hear the improvements of the tech as time went on. I must confess that my initial thought about watching it was that it was something to help blind or partially sighted people, however, as a document-to-words reader. Only later did I twig that they are essentially Alexa-speaker-alikes.

Therefore, I'll ask the question I always think of when I see smart speakers: what exactly is their use case? I've never used voice assistants. I've never had a PA. I have a variety of good, dumb speakers. If I am cooking, I have the radio on in the background and a smartphone in my pocket if I desperately wish to change something. I've always thought that the voice recognition was cool, but I've just never quite recognised a position where I would use it!

For the record, I live in a house with at least two raspberry pis on all the time (one as a DTV tuner) so I am far from a luddite in that regard. I just genuinely don't really know what use-case a smart speaker solves. Please enlighten me!
> accountable

That's the key. European politicians are accountable to European citizens. Big corporations are not. This seems a step in the right direction.
Yes the police for sure, but this is normalising full ID verification everywhere.

At some point there will be a situation where you cannot do anything because you are in the 0.01% of the system that is broken.
I live in Denmark, I have an "easyID" (NemID), along with a social security number that allows me to connect to all government websites. The system allows people to use physical passcodes mailed to people, or send a push notification to their phone, to trigger the NemID application to approve or disapprove the entry.

As others have mentioned, similar stuff exist in other countries as well.

So to me, I'd rather have a single common, shared and opensource system for both Denmark, and all of EU.
The firewall is who is accountable, who is responsible to the electorate. "Broken" no, a feature yes, because exploiting technical flaws in a country's digital ID for an attacker becomes more troublesome if each country has a (an even slightly) different implementation.

Labeling it "broken" - we all are using the same password for every account anyways, aren't we?

What happens when I buy debian mobile? I presume it will not be accepted because there will be no safe app. No app, no identity? No identity means you're suddenly locked out of society.

What phone theft? Most people's phone security is almost non existent.

It seems like it's 100% about control of people. And that's a privacy matter. My body, my life, my choice.

Does it fragment your attention if to the outsider you're able to focus on this device for several hours without a break?

This is great (I'm from Sweden which already has this), but you need to be careful as this also makes it really easy for you to fall into scams. I'm at this moment fighting a company who required me to login with BankID when using their website's contact form, and as soon as I was done with my inquiry they tried to blackmail me by saying "nope, when you logged with BankID, you technically signed (extremely unfair contract that says I need to pay them obscene amounts of money for simply reaching out to them) and we will sue you if you don't pay"

Fortunately I'm fine in this case as the law states that you cannot be tricked into signing a contract that was never presented to you, but I think most people don't make the connection that your BankID logins are considered legit signatures by law and that you can be held accountable for what you use it for.
I haven’t tried this but… if you use Slack in a browser can you open new tabs for conversations?
> In short, companies will have much more control of the data they wish to share.

What does that even mean? Even in that context.

> Most users will access the EU Digital ID wallet in the form of a smartphone app.

Why the EU thinks, presumes or pretends I have a smartphone? If they want me to use a smartphone and obligate me to purchase one, then they should also provide a free or super cheap alternative phone + line contract.

Every time I read something like this it urges me to put together some ESP32 plus a Modem, write an email and chat client, and throw away my current phone. When they'll ask me about my phone, I would pull out some ugly 3d printed case.

> A key aim of any EU wallet is therefore to give EU-based businesses a strong, secure and powerful tool for authentication.

I'm of the same opinion, this is definitely happening, nobody's asked whether they want it, it's just the next necessary thing.

In theory, it's bad for "democracy". But I'm more worried that social existence will necessitate a digital existence.

> the excess energy stored in the hot water is trivial compared to the capability of the heat pump

I don't know if I'd call it trivial, bringing 1 kg of water from 85C to 0C involves about 100W for a duration of one hour whereas a typical freezer removes heat at, what, 200W or 300W?
Please forgive me if I'm jumping to conclusions here, but I'm guessing you're American.

> What happens if I don't want to identify myself?

In some countries that is not an option. For example, in Portugal when in a public space, the police has the ability to ask for ID if they have a reason. They must first identify themselves, and list the reasons to ask for identification. If you have no valid ID with name and photo, someone that knows you and can attest to your ID can do it, IF they themselves have ID. If you're alone, you can either ask someone to take your documents to where you are, or ask the police to go with you to where you have them. If that is still not possible for whatever reason, they you can be taken into a police station until you're properly identified and your fingerprints are taken.

After all that, if the reason why you were identified lead to nothing you can request for the info on you to be eliminated.

> What happens if poverty does not allow me to carry a digital ID?

Most countries have state issued ID cards. Note, I wrote most, not all.

> What happens if I lose my digital ID wallet or it is compromised?

Same thing that happens when you lose your wallet, I guess. Go to the nearest police station, tell what happened. Then go on from there.

> Also judging by dealing with the average citizen on a daily basis, even securing an iOS device and remembering the iCloud password is beyond their level of care.

People take government stuff more seriously than they do other things. For example, my mother that can't remember her router password knows her hexadecimal password to the IRS website by heart. My in-laws kept the letters from the IRS with the password in a well known place just to use it once a year when they need to fill their forms.

I'm not saying there's implicit trust in governments in the EU, but from the discourse on the internet, it's clear to me that most (western) european citizens trust their government more than Americans, overall.
