This is specifically the mathematical model I'm referencing, I should probably save this so I remember what to cite next time.

While there probably are conspiracies that would take multiple leaks to fully expose, one thing to note is that leaks tend to be correlated with one another. Newsworthy reporting on conspiracy leaks inspires copycat leaks[0] - either to get one's fifteen minutes of fame or to jump ship before the prosecutions come about.

A conspiracy that is "successful" in the sense that it was taken to the grave can still get exposed, though. Sure, the members of the conspiracy can't leak it themselves, but they also can no longer destroy any physical evidence or information they left behind. So that evidence could itself be considered a conspirator that cannot die and will eventually leak.

Consistent, non-moving (as things load) UI is super important. Also something that bugged me but I didn't realize why until now: don't use the full width for the description under links (or the titles for that matter). We've known for some time now that if you make text too wide it becomes harder to read.

My suggestions:

* Kill the padding/margins, it's pretty for demos or certain cases but I want to be able to see more information, heavy padding/margins have no place in search results.

* Shrink the search bar to the upper left like every other search engine. Keeping it centered with tons of padding wastes space. Take your logo and put it to the left of the search field, take the buttons and put them to the right. On my screen you are burning a little over 500px of vertical space with things that don't matter, the results matter.

* Shrink your "regular" search results to be half the width of the screen (on desktop, something like a max of 700, Google uses ~640 as does Ecosia). Use the space to the right to show your AI/ML results. This means no content will jump around and people can more easily read the results, full-width is very hard to read. Also shorten the "description" under the links. 2 lines max (at 640px width).

* Either don't ask "Was this answer helpful?" (use hints like: Did they click the link? Did they leave the site after seeing the results?) OR don't make it move the content (hold the space empty if you must animate it in, just don't let the content shift multiple times after doing a search).

Here is your default result for "this is a test" search query: https://cs.joshstrange.com/oKbz6G

Here it is with a bunch of padding/margins removed: https://cs.joshstrange.com/VEVXGh

Yes, I removed the logo/buttons because that was faster than moving them to the left/right of the search but the end result is the same. In my tightened up version you can fit 8+ result links where the initial version could only show 3, also all the results are easier to read.

Remember: "if you are not the buyer, you are the product". Here, it looks like you are the product.

Specifically, "Robert Smith" needs to say to his superiors that the "quarterly review" was discussed (socialized!) in various stakeholder groups. They already had a previous meeting with a different group and whatever was said there (useful or not) translated into "We've received a lot of positive feedback". After this meeting, they will say "We've received a lot of positive feedback from round-table meetings with 2/3/4/15 groups within the company".

The "same people" group is just playing this game to be visible. If you stay in the company long enough, you can play bingo with what they say, regardless of the specific discussion topic. Don't play this game, if you don't want to. And if you don't know who you are sucking up to (or nobody), you probably don't want to, at least in this particular way.

The real questions, in my opinion, are:
1) Why were you in the meeting at all? If it is "All Staff", then maybe you can skip it (especially if it is recorded for "those not able to be present"). If it is a specific group, then which group (your IT team, group one-above your IT team, etc). Are you a member or a representative of the group? The further away, the less it matters.
2) Are they asking for written feedback, actively? By a specific date? If not, the meeting is not relevant.
3) What is the related timeline (on feedback and on document itself) and where the document goes? That's a question you can totally ask. "Hi, I admit I am not super familiar with the subject. Where does this document goes next? Is there a specific deadline for it?"
4) If you are not there once, does anybody notice? E.g. a direct follow-up for "comments from you or your team?" Have a medical/whatever appointment once and pay attention.

One book you may find interesting is "Political Savvy: Systematic Approaches to Leadership Behind the Scenes Hardcover" by Joel R. DeLuca. It is not a perfect match to the situation, but it certainly helps to think about it in the way that's more aligned with developers' mindset. Unfortunately, it may be hard to get new.

Maybe someone from the team can help me with a question regarding the privacy page/policy.

>The searches we anonymously log be used to improve our product.

>Your data will not be shared with any third party unless we are required to respond to subpoenas, court orders, or legal process, to establish or exercise our legal rights or defend against legal claims.

>We will never sell your data to any third party.

The first sentence is at odds with the second two.

If you say you are only collecting query and query response data, but then assure me you aren't selling my data, I can't help but wonder which is true:

1) The site is actually collecting data, but is not selling it.
2) The site is not collecting data, and the privacy page is outdated/incorrect/inaccurate.

The same question obviously applies to court orders and the like. Which is it? Do you store data that would be material to me if the site was presented by court order, and that is why you have given me a disclaimer? Or do you not store data, and so the disclaimer is meaningless?

Watch Ford vs Ferrari to get an idea of what Ford is like. Also be aware that you are not their customer. Their dealers are their customers. This is why a Shelby with an MSRP of $60k goes for $90k, while a faster $72k MSRP Camaro goes for <$70k. Ford makes limited runs so dealers can put insane markups, while GM makes cars for people to buy. (Bonus, when GT350s' rear differentials overheated on the track, Ford said "The GT350 is not a track car" - Shelby is rolling in his grave). Ford's "halo" car is $300k MSRP, GM's is $190k. Guess which one you can actually buy. I have owned three Mustangs including a GT500, and tracked them, and will never buy Ford again.

There's a fringe hypothesis that historical Jesus (the human person behind the legends) survived crucifixion, perhaps aided by secretly-sympathetic guards, and was in a near-coma for 3 days in the tomb but then returned to alertness and was helped out of the tomb (perhaps by sympathetic guards).

The Roman official who ordered Jesus' execution didn't really want him dead, so perhaps he gave off-the-books instructions to the guards that "if this person were to miraculously survive being crucified, and escaped his tomb in a few days, well there's nothing you could have done to stop a miracle. His tomb that of course is temperate and happens to have water supplies inside. There's nothing you could have done. Wink wink."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pilate%27s_court

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swoon_hypothesis#Supporting_ar...

"It was uncommon for a crucified healthy adult to die in the time described by the Gospels; the Gospel of Mark reports that Jesus was crucified at nine in the morning and died at three in the afternoon, or six hours after the crucifixion. ... The average time of suffering before death by crucifixion is claimed by some to have been observed to be 2–4 days. ... Modern scholarship has also cast some doubt on the generally agreed depiction of Jesus being nailed to a cross, as opposed to the more common method of having a victim's hands and feet being tied to a cross."

If dying normally took 2-4 days, it's possible that a sympathetic guard could have declared him dead after only 6 hours on the cross (maybe after he first fell unconscious) and then transferred him to the tomb in the hopes that he might recover in the remaining 1.5-3.5 days, perhaps moistening his lips in the process.

If Jesus were tied to the cross rather than nailed to it, there's really not any plausible thing that could have killed him in just 6 hours of mild to moderate blood loss + heat exhaustion. It's much more plausible that he would have fallen unconscious while maintaining a heartbeat and weak breathing.

I used to be Christian and am now more of an agnostic who wants to believe in a benevolent God, and it would be really cool if something like this did happen. Maybe Jesus was just a person but a good one who tried to do good and got lucky through some series of events like this.

I recently unfortunately had a loved one who went through the dying process in hospice care, and it was horrifying to watch, but it took multiple days, about 5 days, and 6 hours just isn't plausible. 6 hours on the cross + a recovery from near-death three days later in a cool tomb makes a lot of sense if someone gave him water on the way to the tomb. Or maybe the tomb had a hidden supply of water in it, like a puddle big enough to drink.

Also silly to compare because a proper nation-state does more than develop products and services for profit. Social contract and all that.

Good authors did not started by writing hundred formulaic stories first. Instead, they tended to seek own way even as they learned from predecessors.

I don't like this saying, because in literature and art generally it leads to formulaic repetitive stories. If you dont break rules before learning them, you will never learn to break them. And when it is most common advice there is, we get the situation in which you can predict the rest of average book or movie after first 10 minutes.

It is much better when authors treat rules as optional formulas - follow or not and be aware there is a lot more to choose from.
Can only speculate -- but perhaps they continually train some spam detecting ML model and swap them out every few weeks. Wondering if there are some hidden regressions or something to that effect which are evading the new model. Wouldn't surprise me if they originally started with a rule-based engine and are A/B testing ML models for it instead now.

The most infamous recall was the Ford Pinto, and it was particularly bad because they knew about the problem before the car ever shipped, and once the problem was known didn't fix it for years even though the cost would have been $11/car.

Less directly, there's the fact that new safety features often come to luxury vehicles first, and might eventually trickle down to cheaper cars due to competition and regulation (backup cameras, automatic emergency braking).

I think mostly we don't like to think about it. This comes up particularly in the health care industry. There was the (manufactured) furor over "death panels" but there's also the very real challenge of deciding whether it's worth paying possibly millions of dollars on a drug that might have a marginal-at-best improvement in someone's survival odds. And it's not just about some corporate executive's pockets; these costs get passed on to regular people through increased premiums and may cause people to drop their health insurance entirely.
I don't get the sports metaphor at all... I don't watch sportsball.

What I do know is that the amount of energy and material resources required to extract a barrel of oil out of ground has been slowly rising towards parity with the energy contained in that oil.

I'm now of the mind that politics, the environment, and everything else is a back burner issue until this is solved. I'm starting to use the phrase "I don't give a shit about global warning" (though, actually I do), just to diffuse the politics of it, and stay on topic.

There have been decades of decisions made with a total blindness to the fact that the oil we're burning is priced orders of magnitude cheaper than it should have been. As a society, we're acting like the trust fund kids spending our Earth's energy inheritance with no mind towards the future.

Axie Infinity exploded in popularity overnight. They likely built their infrastructure when they were securing $1M in digital assets and then suddenly found themselves controlling half a billion before they could upgrade their security.

That doesn’t excuse their poor security practices. They shouldn’t have built their asset custody system in-house if they didn’t have the expertise. They could have used Fireblocks or a Gnosis Safe Multisig with hardware wallets and they would be safe.
It's outsourcing a key part of the Apple ecosystem to Google (Chrome), which is why Apple will never do it. Big-tech companies go to extremely great lengths to own every part of the pathway from consumer to developer to hardware. Google first developed a browser, then an OS, then a hardware division just so Microsoft couldn't sit between Search and a microchip. Similarly, Apple has worked extremely hard to develop an App Store, IDE (XCode), and developer machine (Mac) so that neither Google nor Microsoft can come between them and the developer.

Facebook is currently paying the price of not owning their distribution infrastructure - they've been hurt extremely badly by recent privacy changes that Apple and Google have put out, while Apple and Google themselves have been relatively isolated from them.

Android has app system level options in the settings to disable WiFi/mobile data.

I tend to use that, and use Netguard as a fallback because the latter has an off by default config incase I forget to disable it for new apps.

Netguard on its own is insufficient because sometimes you'd need to use an actual VPN (which turns off Netguard)

Taking and distributing meeting minutes is a superpower that no one wants.

First, something you thought of as nonsense may actually click when you author the summary. Second, by sending out minutes, you have an opportunity to followup for clarifications and then can frame the knowledge and deliverables. Third, people often repeat themselves and call meetings when they feel they are not being heard -- accurate minutes help people grok they are being listened to. Fourth, you can cc your boss on it, so their inbox fills with meeting minutes, and then you can tell them it's hard to work with so many meeting interruptions (tell your manager that each 1h meeting is 2-3h because you have to take notes and assimilate them, otherwise, why are they sending you to a meeting?). Fifth, some participants may change their mind or be more informed themselves when reading meeting minutes, improving team effectiveness. Sixth, you have a record of soap boxing, so you can visibly take a "break" from taking notes when someone starts to wax, sort though a hard copy of the minutes, and then ask: "Pardon my interruption, but you brought this up on X, Y, and Z... has anything changed?". Seventh, the notes provide great skimming for team members (and future self), especially when things go south.. or you ask to be moved to another team. Finally, being known as a helpful person with thoughtful notes creates informal power for yourself because as you become the expert by assimilating peoples's knowledge. This credibility and proof of work creates opportunity.
Perhaps Apple simply doesn't have the capability for fine grained control of those capabilities yet, which wouldn't be surprising given their path up until now.

I have to believe they’re working on exposing some of this via MDM. Certain organizations may never want the JIT turned on, for example or allow attachments in iMessage.

I expect we’ll hear more about more capabilities this summer and fall.
