An amusing aside regarding software responding to certain keywords...

There was a BBS package in the 80s that had language moderation as a default feature. The sysop could choose whether the BBS should refuse to post a message that included the word "shit" for instance. It was configurable, but not easily.

A friend ran a BBS on behalf of a winery in Napa Valley. But she kept having trouble with a few of the forum sections. After some debugging, it turned out that the software looked at "chardonnay" and saw "cHARDONnay"... and "hardon" was in its list of bad words.
I don't know about Google for Education, but the business flavor doesn't let you spy the email of your users, at least I haven't found it. There are ways that allow you to copy every email to an "audit" address, if you're persistent enough, but good luck managing that mess and liability.

There's the option of quarantining emails that have specific keywords. That's the likely way to catch students discussing cheating, attachments and all.

Edit: as the comment below has pointed out, this might not be true. Different editions have different tools, the one i use is not the most complete.

> at least I have a chance of knowing when my data's being monitored

C'mon really. The whole central point of this euro scaremongering is that Google will turn over your data to intelligence agencies when U.S. court orders it to do so. Now imagine that for whatever fanciful and obviously highly unlikely reason the C.I.A. wants your PDFs. You are claiming this will be visible to you, that you will be able to defend yourself against hardware supply chain attacks, attacks on the media you downloaded to install CrapNux on your servers, attacks against your NextCloud auto-updates, attacks against the whole rest of your software supply chain, social engineering attacks against your sysadmins, attacks against your hard disk drive waste stream, and all the rest of it? And you will be able to achieve this on the budget on a Dutch primary school?

Look, I think it would be cool if nation-sized bureaucracies had the doctrines and practices that allowed them to be actually safer than the cloud, but as it stands they do not.

As an insider, I am tempted to say research in most diseases is driven by lots of fraudulent and oversold results.

Maybe not direct image manipulation as in this case with Alzheimer's, but certainly there is always a lot of monopolistic rich-gets-richer behavior.

Nearly all professors at top universities I have met develop intimate relationships with funders and journals, which they use to steer the field in their preferred direction. As the posted article says "You can cheat to get a paper. You can cheat to get a degree. You can cheat to get a grant. You can't cheat to cure a disease."

I have been asked directly to misrepresent results on several occasions. In the most recent one, a professor who has received all prizes and accolades in his field threatened me and others when we refused to misrepresent research results. I could afford to do this, but my workmates who have families to support were on the brink of giving up to the bully.

Perhaps, but there is an incentive to continue that mismanagement, rather than fixing it.
the government already owns the roads and enforces speed limits.
speed governors are already required for scooters and e-bikes in many jurisdictions.

requiring cars to have the same limiters as scooters if they want to access the government-owned roads is not a huge change in scope.

Shortly after the height of the Merkel/NSA hacking scandal, when EU member states were most upset that US spying had been disclosed to their electorate (making EU politicians look weak in front of the voter). The EU kicked off an internal project to try and build a gmail replacement. Their plan was that customer number 1 would be all the educational establishments on the continent. They even got as far as checking out buildings to lease from paper manufacturers, to turn into data centres. Eventually that project went away, but I don't think we’ve seen the last of it yet.
LOL.

No.
Surely they aren't covering up that many deaths right? The US is 4% of the world population, and represents 16% of the fatalities. If China had our rate of fatalities that would indicate that they are hiding 4.3 million deaths somehow.

A couple thousand people die every day. About 90 from car accidents. What fraction of the rest are preventable? Probably most of them, if we're being honest.
The dose would be different, depending on how it is absorbed into the body. Maybe?

I touch a banana maybe times in a week if the kids wanted bananas. I eat zero.

Working on a banana plantation I’d think they were touching many more bananas than that, and maybe eating them too.
You've missed the point entirely. Your post is claiming one cannot use BTC in a "trustless" way. The GP is saying "You have to either choose to trust a third party at some point, or go to these extreme lengths that still don't ensure your security unless your opsec is 100% perfect, every time."

OTOH, your post also doesn't prove that the mass-manufactured hardware in question is actually malicious. At best, you've shown a way that it could be. Show me an actually malicious hardware wallet that behaves as you've described, and you'll have made your point. Until then, all you have is speculation and improbabilities.

In other words, charitably interpreted, you've shown that the hardware equivalent of the C compiler in "Reflections on Trusting Trust" could exist, just as the paper itself showed that such a C compiler could exist[0]. That is all. There is no evidence either one exists at all in the wild.

Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg to give 6-hour deposition
I was at Accenture Digital, now rebranded as Accenture Song, when Hertz was a client in our office. Most projects had the same issues.

I was hired as a developer to work on the front-end of a very ambitious app for one of the biggest oil companies in the world. One year later we delivered a crappy single page app, a relational database and some data pipelines, and in exchange we billed them no less than 20 million.

I think I mentally checked out at 6 months in when I realized I couldn't fight against the current. Management was incompetent, half of my team mates had no experience or ability to work as software developers, and all the individual contributors were the ones with the pressure to deliver and work on weekends. Yeah, I'm not going to work extra hours because you don't know how to say no when the client tells you they want this extra feature and they also want to cut down the timeline.

The only reason these companies are successful is that the top execs are friends with the other execs at fortune 500 companies so they mostly figure out a way to spin it as a success so everyone gets their bonuses even if no value was created.
> Marijuana is a partisan issue

Every topic will have people on both (or many) sides, but the majority of both democrats and republicans want legalization with only 1 in 10 of all Americans opposing legalizing it for both medical and recreational use. Polarization isn't the problem. There is common ground and wide agreement on various aspects of these issues which are actionable even if it doesn't solve the entirety of the problem.

While of course there will be people who want to argue over specifics that's congresses entire job. To represent our disagreeing perspectives on how a problem should be addressed, work out solutions collectively, and put those solutions in place. No party is going to get everything done in the exact manner they want it, but as long as the issues do get addressed (one way, the other, or by some compromise) the system works. If nothing substantive can be done about the issues that the vast majority of the country agree we need to act on because of partisan bickering then the system is broken and broken systems should be replaced with something that is capable of actually working for Americans.

"people disagree so nothing can be done!" is not acceptable.

Well, their Wikipedia article is biased and somewhat counterfactual, as they always are whenever they possibly could be. Kiwi Farms only loosely moderates non-illegal speech, so there are edgelords dropping slurs, yes, but that there are no less than two subforums clowning on Nick Fuentes/America First and related entities should put to rest the whole "alt-right/white supremacist" narrative. Also, there is a dearth of verifiable evidence that the suicide of Near/byuu recently attributed to KF and its admin actually happened - it looks an awful lot like this guy just decided to disappear from the internet for a while (as he has done before) and found a vulnerable scapegoat to help with that.

Go to the forums, do some searches to find threads on topics that interest you, and make your own decisions.

> more precisely, "if we assume dark matter is a form of matter that behaves like normal mass in all ways except that it doesn't interact with light
> you make it sound like scientists are making things up rather than just doing experimental science

No, I have a ton of respect for the process and experiments done so far.

I’m reminded of early attempts to understand Mercury’s orbit - there must be some massive body in the glare of the sun perturbing its orbit! (Is the extra body orbiting inside the sun, what is going on??) The possible explanations became increasingly out-there, until Einstein extended our theory of gravity and introduced spacetime.

I appreciate that we’ve tried and failed every which-way to modify gravity on large scales to make this work, but how close are we to saying we’ve tried every which-way to detect this supposedly normal mass?

There may be a deeper insight to the universe we’re missing, and it’ll take another general-relativity-spacetime-style revolution crashing into astrophysics before we figure it out.
The runway is the least of the problems, it's the last/first leg of the whole airport pipeline, it's the whole check-in and luggage handling that's a clusterfuck. An extra runway for planes to land and bring more people and luggage when the staff is already overwhelmed? An extra runway so more planes can take off, i.e. more passengers and luggage that need to be placed onto those planes before the pilot can take off?
You can’t buy a Framework device in most countries, so that’s a little moot.

> if you were somehow able to prove that seatbelts basically never helped drivers avoid causing injuries/deaths to others

I'm not arguing it never happened. I'm suggesting it doesn't happen often enough to be a major factor in seatbelt laws. Laws addressing highly unlikely events often don't take into account other effects.

For example, when seatbelt laws were proposed, many people reported that they were saved from certain death by being thrown from their car. For example, if the car caught fire. Or the car went off a steep embankment. I don't recall any anecdotes about thrown people causing other accidents.
Cars are arguably one of the most important inventions in recent history. So much of what we have today would never have happened if we still had to walk everywhere.
The big4 (D, EY, Accenture, EY) are the absolute last people I would call for any tech project, ever. I worked in one (very briefly) and could not understand why anyone with a modicum of technical experience would pick them for technical work.

They can do good work for some things, like regulation, audit, tax, etc -- there's a decent chance that whoever wrote the regulation you have to comply with works for one of the big4, which is quite advantageous.

However, for a technical project, complete boondoggle.
Heathrow is the largest British airport by far. The second-largest, Gatwick, pre-emptively cut a whole bunch of flights in July and August about a month before Heathrow decided to do the same, the third largest is apparently Manchester which I think has been having problems for months (so much so that they no longer even make the news anymore), and so on. Iut doesn't seem to be isolated to the UK either, I've been hearing about very similar problems elsewhere in Eruope from people travelling there.
If USAians can ignore daily multi-death shootings, it can ignore any tragedy.

I know, I know, it's just a clickbait title, but to be clear: that feeling that you're doing something wrong? That's called guilt. Many of us feel it when we get close to doing something that we understand to be unethical. Considering what half these tools do, I would presume that it's not the value that's making you feel this way, but the activity you were engaged in when you had occasion to use them...
That they tried to build their own data centers is a red flag. Not because its a bad idea, but I think you need to establish product-market fit for a software product before laying down serious hardware.
I wonder when the heat pump technology will be so widespread/standardized that I can for example buy a refrigerator and connect a couple pipes so that instead of releasing heat into the kitchen I can transfer that heat to warm water for a shower.
Also, using washing machines flushing water to fill a bigger tanks later accessed by the house's toilet tanks should be standard procedure.
Amusingly enough, though I didn't witness this and can't verify he was telling the truth anyway, my ex-wife claimed that when she went to traffic school, the instructor there told the class the number one cause of traffic accidents on Texas highways was cars going too slow. But I suppose you could argue it's really the opposite even in those cases, that all of the people cutting you off, deciding to get onto a highway doing 20 MPH, doing 40 in the passing lane, or randomly slamming on the brakes because they get spooked by a plastic bag or something, wouldn't be causing accidents if everyone else was also driving really slowly, and the accidents that did happen would be less deadly.

Although, as far as I understand, fatalities on highways are somewhat rare anyway, with most vehicular deaths happening at intersections. After all, it's the stopping force that kills you, and two vehicles doing 80 and 60 in the same direction will collide with less force than one doing 40 and one crossing the path in a perpendicular direction, or two going 20 and hitting head on.

Earlier this year I was exploring a web3 industry 4.0 open science solution rethinking how research is performed, by who (or what), skills required, deliverables (no journals needed), a semantic knowledge base of results good & bad, validated through repetition, a framework for how experiments are managed.

Here's my research on the 'Challenges facing Academic Research' - https://miro.com/app/board/uXjVOkNfljM=/?share_link_id=58427...

Quotes that I found important:

"It discourages rigorous research as it is difficult to obtain enough results for a paper (and hence progress) in two to three years.

The constant stress drives otherwise talented and intelligent people out of science also."

- Anonymous

"End the PhD or drastically change it. there is a high level of depression among phd students. long hours, limited career prospects, and low wages contribute to this emotion."

- Don Gibson, Scientist at BioConsortia

Funding "affects what we study, what we publish, the risks we (frequently don't) take, it nudges us to emphasise safe, predictable (read: fundable) science"

- Gary Bennett - Neuroscientist at Duke University

"We need to recognise academic journals for what they are: shop windows for incomplete descriptions of research, that make semi-arbitrary editorial [judgments] about what to publish and often have harmful policies that restrict access to important post-publication critical appraisal of published research."
—Ben Goldacre, The Datalab, epidemiology researcher, physician, and author

"An estimated $200 billion - or the equivalent of 85% of global spending on research - is routinely wasted on poorly designed and redundant studies."
- https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6...

"As much as 30% of the most influential original medical research papers turn out to be wrong or exaggerated."
- https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/fullarticle/201218#COM...

"The BMJ found that one-third of university press releases contained either exaggerated claims of causation (when the study itself only suggested correlation), unwarranted implications about animal studies for people, or unfounded health advice."

It just comes down to time. I can drive to the store in 5 minutes, or walk there in 20. Then I have to carry it home. You can call that lazy, but there are only 24 hours a day and a third of them are spent sleeping, a third working, and so that last third is precious.
Stamps too. I buy 30-40 year old ones to use as postage and pay ~40% less than they paid back then.

You said it perfectly.

When I read "Agile Model" I could already see it, Accenture signing a Time & Materials contract, giving no shit about the badly detailed scope on the clients side (after all this means more hours), and some bad PMing on both sides. I bet the responsive detail was not clearly stated on the scope, Accenture noticed it but let it pass since it is T&M...

I'm an ex-Accenture (and also ex-IBM iX, that fixed Hertz site in the end) and to be fair this is not a widespread behavior on those companies, it really depends on who is the Senior leadership for those clients and areas are. I've seen some good and caring ones on both companies but I've also seem some terrible used car salesmen whose dominance in the higher executive levels (since they bring money) made me decide to switch from both.

The opening of that Borders was a tragic loss of an art house theatre (the New Varsity) and the arrival of a corporate behemoth that drove most of the rest of the bookshops (one next door!) out of business.

A friend of mine and I looked into turning it into a nightclub but in the end it was too much of a hassle (and Palo Alto is no longer the kind of place that has nightclubs and porno theatres (not the New Varsity!) downtown).
