No but it does control the FBI and other agencies that can make your life extremely unpleasant if they like, and once that happens even if the courts rule entirely in your favor it won't be a fun ride.
Don’t mistake that those are my opinions on how things should, just what was observed.

Consider why fear was made into a virtue. You said it, “our best interests“, then look at the lens of Covid, and define that. Who got to say with that exactly was? Can you see any scenario where “Considering who the virus effects, doing nothing special is our best long term approach” would have come out of the government and media?
Wouldn't Hotelling's law just predict that wannabe-SVs would try to copy every aspect of the original SV? I don't see how that alone explains their failure.

I'd attribute the difficulty of creating the next SV partially to capital/talent concentration being a coordination game (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coordination_game) - for any individual small developer, entrepreneur or investor, it makes sense to go where they have the best chances to thrive.

This should be very illegal.
Not sure what y'all are complaining about. The amount of privacy work that happens with governments at big tech companies is substantial. The language in this doc seems like a better, less oppressive version of GDPR.
This is science, though, isn't it? There's a mountain of evidence for X, and someone finds a little evidence for Y. No one accepts it, naturally, since there's relatively little evidence for it. But over decades, perhaps the evidence grows and Y reaches acceptance parity, and then maybe goes on to exceed X and be the dominant theory. E.g. plate tectonics and continental drift.
It's not clear that ADPPA will move forward. The current version preempts California's CCPA/CPRA legislation, and (big surprise) California doesn't like that.

Not always. According to lemon law lawyer Mr. Lehto (who runs a Youtube channel Lehto's Law), RVs are not covered under most state lemon laws, and thus defers to the federal Magnuson Moss Warranty Act which just says repairs must be under a reasonable time frame, and the RV companies say something like 10 repairs, 6 months each, is the industry standard and thus reasonable, and judges don't have anything else to base that on, so they agree.

What's the difference between a government demand and recommendation delivered over a private channel? Sounds kind of like when the mafia recommends that a business buys their brand of insurance to protect them in the off-chance somebody comes along and smashes all their windows.

Sure the business doesn't need the insurance but they might rethink their position the first time all their windows get smashed.
Now if we could just get a bill that actually limited the governments ability to collect data on its citizens. I'm not really worried about targeted ads, I'm worried about targeted assassinations.

You talk to people and ask them why they are worried about companies collecting data, and a certain percentage will tell you they don't like that the government could get it with a court order. That'd be a HUGE improvement over the current situation where they don't have to, they just collect it directly.
Yes, the app can read it whenever. There's a brief lock obtained on the current database position internally to read it out. The position only gets updated at the end of the transaction.
I'm repeating an idea I read somewhere else, but we should just stop calling it the "Covid vaccine", since it doesn't seem to make you any less likely to catch the disease or spread it once you have it. The word "vaccine" should be reserved for things that we traditionally understand to be such.

Let's call it a "Covid preventative" or literally anything else, and stop mandating it, so that we avoid the bigger public health issue of a generalized distrust against existing, effective vaccines arising from this.
That’s fair - to clarify I mean you couldn’t even use it without paying. Before they offered a binary for free.
Thanks for the additional comments and correction. At first, I don't see the need to be super-specific at first because, using the analogy you mentioned, most people (that I know, at least), don't mention they have specifically The Republic or Apologia or Phaedo, they will just simply mention I read Socrates. But after some thought, I do agree that I should have been more specific on this case.

But I would still argue that The Bible (or to be more specific in this context, Genesis and NT. I will continue to use The Bible as a term for the sake of brevity.), have significant contribution to the contemporary ideas in Western Civilization. Or at least, the thoughts that is derived from it. [1] argues that the Western idea of identity is born out of Luther and [2-3] has an extensive chronology about how The Bible influences Western thinking. For starter, directly quoting from [3], "The Greco-Romans despised the feeble, the poor, the sick, and the disabled; Christianity glorified the weak, the downtrodden, and the untouchable; and does that all the way to the top of the pecking order". I think Nietzsche also share the same sentiment about how the ideas started in The Bible caused the West to become 'weaker' compared to the original, dominant Greco-Romans values.

[1-3], and of course Nietzche, are secular source that does not rely on the claim that The Bible is divinely inspired. I also would not claim that The Bible itself is not influenced by outside thinking, especially Greek philosophy. [2] directly writes that in the Paul labors, there is a fusion between Jewish morality and Greek philosophy. As a matter of fact, these external influences is probably why the NT canon is so successful.

I also have to note that I do not claim that The Bible is 'the' contributor to the current thinking in the West, my main arguments is that it is 'a major contributor' to the current Western thought, without diminishing other texts. For bad and good, The Bible is indeed a major contributor. Diminishing the influence and contribution of The Bible to the current Western discourses seems like a forced attempt to understate the contribution of the Christianity.

And re: "jingoistic innuendo that people without a Christian-inspired culture are not capable of democracy". This is a different question for another day, and to discuss about that claim etc is outside of my circle of (semi) competence.

The category of risk I'd add is that a public ledger means you have to also consider the odds of future improvements — for example, if someone else's data leak contributes some information about a set of transactions[1] or the analysis tools get more sophisticated then people who thought they were secure at the time might turn out not to be. This seems like a fairly risky gamble versus simply not publishing a detailed transaction log.

1. e.g. what happens if a large exchange's records leak / are subpoenaed, a criminal group being compromised by law enforcement, etc. means that a fair fraction of a mixer's transaction volume at a particular time can be identified, making it easier to focus on the remainder?

Standardization was attempted. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Do_Not_Track

the tl;dr for that story is that it wasn't mandated to be honored, the industry didn't voluntarily adopt it widely, and when IE 10 tried to turn it on by default and the standard's lead supporter responded by submitting a patch to Apache web server to ignore the DNT signal coming from IE 10 because "does not protect anyone's privacy unless the recipients believe it was set by a real human being, with a real preference for privacy over personalization," that situation pretty much killed it in the crib.

The problem is technologically simple to solve; all the challenges are social and legal.

That's not even particularly good advice, which just goes to show how subtle the pitfalls are. The rule really should be "If it is at all possible to delete instances from a pointer to the base class, then you need a virtual destructor". The overhead of adding a virtual destructor to a base class with no other virtual functions is far from negligible in many cases, so the distinction is meaningful (though modern guidance tends discourage non-polymorphic inheritance in the first place anyways).

The same thing goes for the good-old "Do not use raw pointers." The rule is actually: "Do not use raw pointers with implicit ownership semantics attached to them."
That should be the default behaviour, perhaps with random values too.

There's a very large difference in that COVID science was weeks to months old and extremely urgent, which caused a lot of wacky behaviors due to organizations panicking.

Climate science has been churning for decades. Would disagreeing conclusions be laughed off at first? Sure, probably. When most disagreement has been junk science by quacks, it's natural to reflexively make that assumption of new disagreement. But there's ample time and space for new studies to be analyzed, expanded on, replicated.

There was some kerfluffle a while back where Tesla fixed some mundane thing in an OTA, something like a radio volume bug, without filing a recall, and the NTSB got all irritated. They said something like “all changes are fixing defects, so you have to file a recall”

I was so hoping Tesla would put some intern on a project to automatically submit every commit to the car code as a recall.

Not sure how all that shook out in the end.

There are multiple issues on which asking questions can get you deplatformed, or even threaten your career. I think there were always things that were considered too important to question in society, but those were traditionally relegated to the religious sphere. They were religious facts that are too sacred to question. Now there are scientific facts that are too sacred to question, and that's dangerous.
As others have pointed out, the computations are currently infeasable. The rest of the plan works though, it would just need to be done with actual atoms.

This is true, but for desktop and laptop compute, I'd estimate something like 95% of users won't change the defaults. I'm also not sure how good our solvers are on clusters, but on desktops, the Julia versions are often faster than MKL which is the faster BLAS outside Julia that I know of.
Depends on the search volume and performance requirements. For lots of (most?) applications, you don't want all the indices in RAM.

(But I guess a lot of the bloat with ES is also the 3+ node cluster which includes lots of redudancy, and resulting redundant use of RAM as well?)
