> "Service providers, business partners and affiliates" is so vague that Tesla can share any data with almost anyone without revising this notice.

Only if you assume bad faith and don't read the surrounding text. They say explicitly that that category is there to allow them to outsource actions they would otherwise do internally. I mean, sure, you can imagine that being twisted in the future. But what exactly do you want them to say? This is a very typical privacy notice, and I don't see any red flags at all.

I mean, if you don't trust Tesla, don't buy one I guess. But trying to argue that they're somehow a unique privacy risk seems to be really strained logic.
>but expecting 47GB of storage for free per repo seems ludicrous to me.

I agree with this. This move makes perfect sense. I think GitLab does a lot already for the people that don't pay for the service.
I think it's highly likely that someone thinks this, yes.
Designate the cartels as terrorists and cut off their profits by securing the border.
According to what measures?

Sea level rise? The rate of increase hasn't changed. Actually it was highest during Lincoln's presidency.

Droughts? Actually less severe and less frequent than 100 years ago.

Severe weather? Wild fires? Also, pretty much unchanged or slightly decreased.

Global temperatures? Sure, seem to be increasing moderately, but there's a ton of complication there. And we don't really know what the impact will be.

I think it's better to stop handwringing over pessimistic alarmist models and to focus on solving real, concrete, addressable ecological problems.
I want to clarify that this is a tangential point to by our previous comment and my reply, which you did not address.

Regardless, I don’t have the energy to debate your random points and why there are issues with your understanding of them.

I’d like to end with the fact that “developed” countries don’t have the ability to actually manufacture most of their “genius” inventions, so…
Read to the end of the list. /smh
Yeah, it just hasn't moved fully west. I remember India proposing phasing out cash for "reasons". How soon till we start seeing serious pushes remains to be seen.
> I don't expect to have a good mental model of an optimising compiler in "gotta go fast"-mode, but a mental model of what the memory layout looks like is pretty darn relevant when designing or working with ABIs and binary data representations.

I'm not sure where you got the idea otherwise, but Rust supports the same memory layouts and ABIs as C on a given platform.

You don't get a specific layout by default because that allows for the implementation to improve over time, but that's not really relevant when working with binary data representations, where you simply specify which one to use.
You absolutely can though, it just has to be laps around the block instead of walking straight away (or coordinated with a secondary or...)
I've inherited an internal application that handles some stuff for manufacturing written in .NET. (windows app, used by 100 people cca, 10k lines of OOP code roughly)
The way it was written or actually re-written, allowed even for a non-programmer like me (at least not formally trained) to easily to implement all the changes.
I have an old Ranger and I'm gonna try and do exactly this. Still gonna cost like $15k for Li batteries though.
PRISM makes a mockery of the "search" part of the 4th Amendment, Civil Asset Forfeiture makes a mockery of the "seizure" part.
Yeah. :/ Well, I suppose I'll have to consider if one of the two "smart" devices needs to go, then.

It's a bit disturbing just how much you can tell about a house from the floorplan alone, much less if you've set out to use the camera for data collection. I wasn't a huge fan of iRobot's data collection, but now that it'll be going to Amazon, ugh.

This is just the end point for any modern gadget. To work against you, to collect data to be used to break your will and make you spend more money to the profit of a handful of big tech companies. Such utopia. Much wow!
I currently use #define true 1 and #define false 0

Do you think I should remove that?
The lay discussion tends to be around convenience and air quality.

Professional discussions with the fire marshal are about preventing explosions.

Your personal woodshop isn't going to have ten ten horsepower machines generating dust ten hours a day ten days in a row to get the big order out.

And a spray booth spraying the good stuff next door.

Ordinary amatuer experience is a consumerized version of industrial dust collection...the existence of the industrial dust systems is why consumer dust systems are practical.

The only reason I mention all that here is because intelligent people like yourself don't have exposure to the big picture and because sometimes they wind up involved with ten the horsepower machines running all at once.

Im surprised that the Yakuza doesn't have a fake ID section in its business. Its not like they follow the law anyway. As long as they keep the fake identities looking legit, how would the police know they were using fakes?
> Why can't we have something like a 1980s small Toyota truck with

"Software eats the world".

Consider something like fueling (I know this isn't in your Tesla drive train, but it's apples to apples). Your 1980s Toyota truck had a carburettor, a physical linkage direct to the gas pedal, and pretty simple exhaust. Very simple air intake.

The carbs were fiddly and expensive to build, but didn't really wear out or need much service (unless you let gas rot in them). They were also very inefficient across most of their range, as there is only so much you can do with a throttle body and venturi.

Compare "same" light duty truck now. Fuel injection with a control system: "smart" ECU, a far more complex exhaust - and sensors all along the way. The burn is far more efficient and controlled, partially because the exhaust has to be so much cleaner.

There is a lot of software in there. For the most part the only way anyone (e.g. NASA) knows how to make software anywhere close to as bulletproof ans that mechanical carb and linkage is to absolutely pour effort into it from design through to final test. Assume a 5x-10x cost on the software development, and pass that on the consumers.

If you assume the same lack of safety functionality as the 1980s truck, you can cut a chunk of that out, but I don't see that happening.
If crypto mixers are outlawed, only outlaws will use crypto mixers.

This doesn't actually sound so bad.

If you seek transactional privacy, then maybe don't use global systems. Try back alley instead.
A reference would be the video referring to another paper (or video). That's difficult to extract from the video unless the publisher is going to fully annotate it - and if that's the case, why not just publish the annotations and images? Much faster to read!
The only reason cash has significant non-criminal usage is that it has had time to gain a foothold in society.

If all communication apps had a backdoor for government surveillance, and one was introduced with E2E encryption, at first, criminals would disproportionaly flock to it, and you could very well argue for it to be banned under the principle you espouse. Thus you would strangle every privacy solution in its cradle before it has had a chance to become mainstream.
Being smart and working hard will do absolutely nothing to make most people richer, unless they work hard in the specific and limited ways that maximise wealth.

Many of those ways happen to be morally questionable at best, and criminal at worst.

An artistic genius is very likely to lose out financially to an averagely intelligent slum landlord no matter how hard they work. Because the opportunities to make money from artistic genius are heavily skewed towards failure, while for slum landlords they're heavily skewed towards success.

The handful of exceptions in the arts are survivor bias. No one hears about the many more failures, by definition.

There is no sense in which wealth is a level playing field. If you're not born into wealth - still the number one way to be wealthy - the most obviously rewarded trait isn't intelligence, it's sociopathy.

The successful ultra-rich are notorious for greed, selfishness, and lack of empathy. Go to any social event for the ultra-rich and you'll find a disproportionate number of criminals, narcissists, and other kinds of damaged people.

Those are the qualities that make someone a "success". IQ certainly helps, but if you lack the pathological motivation to exploit others it's not going to get you far on its own.
I like Home Assistant as an alternative to the cloud-dependant IoT crap software, is there a local-only equivalent yet for robot vacuums yet?
It's likely true that it's fallen, because inflation affects people further down the quintiles more than people at upper quintiles, and directly reduces class mobility. That said, just looking at how the GSMI is scored, it appears that they aren't outcome-focused, and instead look at correlative factors like educational access (which is tied to cost of education) and health metrics which drags down the US against its peers. By sheer outcomes, the US is in the top 3 most socially mobile countries in the world.
Yeah I thought that might be confusing.

Artifact size depends on what garbage from the project infrastructure gets included into the artifact. So simple things like not having a fully populated ignore file will cause things to get included into the project or the artifact.

People who don't care about file size don't care about file size. If the artifact is ridiculous, sometimes the repo is ridiculous too. Therefore if you take a bunch of projects with outsized artifacts, you are going to have above average repository sizes as well.
Sanctions don't make the coins illegal, they make it illegal for anyone to do transactions with an entity.
Terraform is quite generic in its nature. At the end of the day it's just a state management tool. We decided to start there as it's the de facto IaC tool, but we are planning on launching a web portal soon and offer other ways to interact with Multy in the future such as an SDK and a CLI tool.

How is gaming on Linux limited? You can still play proprietary DirectX games with open-source API translators, and arguably Linux is a better development target than MacOS or Android. Even relative to Windows, Linux can play a lot of games that are broken on modern PCs (like Diablo 2 or Fallout 3/New Vegas). Similarly, having an open-source compatibility layer opens up opportunities for community optimizations, which happened with games like GTA 5 and Elden Ring before the same patches got released for Windows.
After 7 years ... not yet.
I’m not sure what your point is by saying that perfect privacy does not exist.

> privacy - noun -
the state or condition of being free from being observed or disturbed by other people.

We have the right to privacy and this is what privacy means.
How do you think the government goes after exports to e.g. North Korea? It goes after people doing the exporting, not the North Koreans.
This is the most awesome tool I have ever discovered!
Desktop Environment components, I suspect.
Agreed. Worked on an ARPA-E funded project and it was reported as a success even though the primary deliverable was never completed and was probably not viable anyway. Everyone involved meant well, but I sensed the PIs viewed it more as a vehicle for their ICs' careers than as a mission-driven enterprise.

This is a wicked incentive problem and I don't know how to solve it.
Adding on, the AirPlay 2 implementation by Shairport-sync works very well. I have approximately 6 different Rpis/thin clients around the house I use as AirPlay 2 receivers and can vouch for how well the system works. NQPTP is built by the same team.
Thankfully it's usually not this bad. I remember spending a lot of time debugging a problem because although the signs pointed to bad hardware, it was in such a commonly-used feature that I knew it had to be my code. Otherwise, everyone else who used the part would be screaming at the manufacturer.

After I finally admitted defeat and called my TI (Texas Instruments) support engineer, he said, "oh, that's a brand new part. You guys are actually only the second company we've sold it to. Thanks for the bug report, but we just discovered it last week so it'll be fixed in the next rev."
This is the most awesome proof of work sharing platform I ever discovered!!
Are retention policies easy? I recall fighting on GitHub to setup a sane retention policy awhile back, but haven't revisited in years.
IMO, none of the things OP listed here are what makes code "good". Test coverage, documentation, organization, constant style, "best practices". You can have one or all of those aspects in any project and it can still be a nightmare to maintain.

What makes code good is "How hard is it to fix issues" and "How easy is it to understand". You can have well documented code which ultimately is hard to understand. You can have well organized code which ultimately makes fixing issues with said code hard.

In order to know if a code base is good, you have to experience maintaining it. You can't (easily) know a code base is bad with cursory glances to mental checkboxes about it.

The metric I use for good code now a days is "How often does this wake me up in the middle of the night?" Good code is code that doesn't cause my employer to pester me off hours.
It seemed weird, so i checked, and of course Pegasus was used by cartels - https://citizenlab.ca/2018/11/mexican-journalists-investigat....

I knew NSO group were an unscrupulous bunch, but working with cartels against journalists is a new low. Saudi persecution of dissidents is one thing you can try to excuse if you have shit for morals (they went against the law of the land), but cartels?
Way to many people work on filler jobs that will go away and automation will also solve a lot of the problems. China has about 22% people working in agriculture, that will go down a lot over next two decades.
The regular old Roomba has a bumper on the front as the only sensor. There's no camera. Some models have LIDAR but that's not able to tell the difference between types of obstacles (like knowing a floor is covered in toys as the article suggests).

This is dishonest "journalism". Amazon might be evil and is out to get as much data on you as possible, but let's be real about what is possible.
For me, I visualize myself doing the work. Thinking about working for long enough reduces the mental barrier to actually doing it.

The problem is often distraction, so turn off your screens and just think about the work you're not doing. Not the consequences of not doing it - the actual doing of the work.

It works.
Perhaps could ask the caller to perform some other interaction that would be difficult to fake, like drinking a can of Mountain Dew. Maybe make them sing a jingle and do a dance...
And my point is that your failed to do even a trivial amount of research into what consensus is.

If "knowledge" was only what you were presented in primary school, the world would be a very different place.
Neither has occurred and neither will occur. Again, stop making crap up. The goal of the Rust project is not to inject "as much smartness between what you type and what the compiler produces." That's a gross mischaracterization.
The issue is that you have fanboys that are idiots and they will conclude this
Human + Autopilot > Human => (implies) AI is better then human
FSD > Autopilot

Conclusion FSD is better then humans.

Nobody said that installing a good drive assistant is less safe, the issue is with idiots using this stats to imply the AI itself is better then human drivers wich is a bad conclusion to draw from this.

To prove FSD is better then humans, send a Tesla from A to B and note hoe many kilometers until it screws up. Repeat 1000 times then do the same experiment with 1000 humans. Don't forget to repeat after each update.
If securing the border differentially cuts off small-time operations more than it cuts off the cartels (even if it partly cuts off some cartel routes), it will raise the cartel's profits by causing prices to rise over and above the decline in sales. That's the basis of the argument that if you really wanted to get rid of cartels, you'd legalize drugs and let small operations make all of them.
> Giving up before you even start just because it’s harder for you than someone else, that part doesn’t help.

Doesn't help with what? In general, when you have your choice of direction, choosing a direction that plays to your strength instead of a direction where you are starting out handicapped compared to competitors can certainly help with your chance of success.

If we ignore the specifics about it being about the background you were born into, I think we'd all agree taht there are some people who exist who because of personal charecteristics or even personality are ill-suited to be startup founders, and have a poor chance of success, and maybe shoudln't do it, right?

It's just when we don't ignore that we are talking about social position specifically, in America we want to believe this can't be true because of your social position, we want to believe everyone has an equal chance regardless of social position. This is an ideology though, not based on observation. An ideology that says you have to pretend it doens't matter, not even identify the challenges to overcome.

So if you know you're going to have a harder time being successful than others, and that of course most startups fail anyway, and maybe you want to try it anyway after evaluating the risk and what will happen to you if you fail, but maybe you say actually, no, I don't want to do the thing that is already very risky and I have an additional handicap for... maybe instead of being a founder I'm going to look for someone else's startup to join, or maybe I'm going to try to work at a FAANG instead -- when you say it "doesn't help", what do you mean -- it doesn't help who do what? And who would it help to do what if you were to insist upon doing it even though it will be harder for you than someone else?
Right? Isn't fake identities a really lucrative business? You would think the Yakuza would have their hands all over that to get around the "No-Yakuza" rule for contract signing. Also, if they are worried about getting caught through fraud tracking, why use 4g/5g at all? They could get connected to wifi and communicate through encrypted voice chat to keep law enforcement from listening in
Don't fund North Korea, thanks.
Money multiplier (commercial bank money in fractional-reserve banking)
What I am doing is falsifying your hypothesis. If being born to rich parents, having connections, and going to boarding schools is the sole reason people get rich, then we would expect that people with richer parents and more connections who went to better boarding schools than Elon Musk would be richer, and people who grew up in similar conditions to Elon Musk would be equally rich. This is not true.
I can only imagine what a round table discussion with the Joint Chiefs of Staff sounds like.

I did! The compiler team agreed that it was broken and gave me a flag to disable jump tables. Surprisingly, that didn't cause any noticeable performance regressions.

> Oh, I remember when these were popular for dot-com who just needed to get to the next round.

One of the best skills to learn is when to stop throwing good resources after bad. Sure, maybe you need just a little more to get over the finish line, but more than likely you are just investing more resources into delaying failure.

People often bring up Elon Musk and Tesla as a positive example of perseverance, where he was apparently sinking personal money to keep the company alive. It did pay off in retrospect, but there was a very large chance it didn't - and we're just celebrating survivor bias.

> Edit: Bridge loans were also really popular to stretch home buying power in 2006,2007. Hmmm.

You wait, this bubble is about to pop. Not a great time to have large financial obligations. I suspect this will make 2008 look like nothing (people weren't struggling to fuel their cars or eat then).
I do want this language to be for people, but having keywords definable by the user bumps up against people on both ends.

I think you are right that there may not really be dealbreakers, just compromises. I'm trying to think of ways to reduce the forward declarations without needing more than one pass.

As of right now, I have ideas for not needing forward declarations for types and for variables. But mutually recursive functions still do need forward declarations. I don't think there will be many of those, and I'm wondering if that is good enough.

What do you think?
> However, your right to privacy ends where money laundering and fraud begin. These are real problems that get in the way of catching criminals, and not just simple fraudsters and other non-violent liars.

Should gov also scan every photo on your phone for criminal activity? Install cameras in your home? If your right to privacy ends when there is potential for crime then you'll have no privacy at all.
That being said, if instead of "use our custom app you've never seen to record a video" it's "just talk to a person with some standard video chat" then maybe it makes things a whole lot easier? But I don't see that being how it's implemented these days...
Dead Mexican journalists have only become interesting to the US again as a way to attack AMLO. I wonder how the poor cartels managed to murder so many journalists before AMLO implicitly gave them permission by sometimes criticizing the right-wing papers that scream for his head every day.

> but I was also sad and a bit upset the unit circle was not taught in high school

I'm not a mathematician, but that sounds like poor teaching to me. Even if it's not part of the programme, learning the unit circle takes literally a few minutes and is an invaluable tool afterward. I don't know if it's possible to develop an intuition for trigonometry without learning the unit circle.
