I certainly wouldn't think that, as it sounds like horrible idea. Your teenage child posts one picture of themselves in a compromising situation, and suddenly you're lost all access to your accounts for the rest of your life. I'll pass, thanks.

And, yes, I get the "educate your children" thing.. but children do stupid things. Heck, an adult lost their gmail account forever because the sent a picture of their child to their doctor; one the doctor asked for.

It's not a conspiracy theory, you just aren't reading the news. The Senate Intelligence Committee has stated that they weren't aware of the CIA's bulk data collection program until the public was. Did Congress authorize CIA intervention in Iran, Guatemala, or Nicaragua? Did Congress provide effective oversight of CIA torture in the Middle East? No, because they weren't even aware of it until 2009. Are you going to claim that all these instances are one-offs, or see them as signs of a systemic problem within our intelligence agencies?
That's a view I can't say I've been exposed to before. Thank you for the feedback.

It was only $300 and it was never paid out (since it needed more verification to pay out). If anything Google /made/ and extra $300 (they made more than that since the $300 is after their take). Also it wasn't "stolen" it was earned on a YT channel.

I think they’d have a hard time justifying the legitimate interest assessment to keep that data forever.

The thing about that is at least you have the feds to report to. If you have enough people file complaints with the FBI and DOJ, they should end up looking into it. Usually the local guys don't have connections that deep.

On the other side, if it's just one or two complaints, then they won't do anything.
What's started?

We had fur at one point, and our still-furred cousins have pink skin, so our ancestors probably did as well.

It's generally believed to be the case that dark skin evolved with hairlessness, and was lost by some branches of the tree during the glacial period.
From his Wikipedia page:

> Through his analysis of mortgage lending practices in 2003 and 2004, he correctly predicted that the real estate bubble would collapse as early as 2007. His research on the values of residential real estate convinced him that subprime mortgages, especially those with "teaser" rates, and the bonds based on these mortgages, would begin losing value when the original rates were replaced by much higher rates, often in as little as two years after initiation. This conclusion led him to short the market by persuading Goldman Sachs and other investment firms to sell him credit default swaps against subprime deals he saw as vulnerable.[14][15][16]

That's the challenge with predictions. If you're off by a day, you'd still be perceived as being right. If the predicted magnitude was 5% off you'd still be perceived as being right. There's no hard and fast rule as far as I can tell about how off you can be and still be considered "right".

Right—contractors are fine, it's GCs that (mostly—I'm sure exceptions exist) blow.

I'd rejected GC bids for things before because they were crazy-expensive and they were proposing mediocre work despite their very high rate, then gone on to basically GC the project myself, engaging contractors for most of it and DIYing a few things here and there, and those have all been great. My mistake was making an exception this time, I guess, but OTOH the savings from solar also wouldn't have been worth it if I'd had to do that, even with a hypothetically-cheaper installation cost, so I'd not have done the project at all in that case.

As it is I don't see how the system won't end up losing us money by the time everything's accounted. Probably 5-10 years off our roof lifetime even if they fix all the acute damage but don't do a full replacement (I very much doubt they'll do that without us spending more money fighting for it than it's worth), plus it'll cost more to replace when it's time because of the damn panels.

But they didn't like our proposal that they take it all down (which they'll have to do to fix the roof anyway—it's bad), fix our roof, take all the equipment back and zero out our bill so we can all pretend this never happened. Sigh.

Been up for weeks and still hasn't generated a single goddamn watt of power so far, either. The IoT shitware refuses to do its job and of course they're not in any hurry to get out and fix it. Pretty sure it's gonna end up with attorneys involved, which is something I've managed to avoid my whole life so far and I'm dreading.

Blue Raven Solar, for the record. May as well name-n-shame, but my understanding is this kind of thing's extremely common in the solar industry so it's not just them. I suspect heavily-astroturfed reviews, in their case. Again, I really should have known better.

One point of advice for others: call out a roof person you trust before starting one of these projects. Ours, it turns out, would have told us our roof was too steep to safely install solar on without totally fucking up the shingles in the process, and that would have been the end of it.

[EDIT] Heh, incidentally I think the near-impossibility of putting the panels back up without wrecking the roof again is what might save us and get them to back out the whole project. IDK how they're gonna re-install the system after the roof's fixed.
Report it as a GDPR violation?
Are we talking about powering a whole 4 bedroom home? Or just a few panels, a small charge controller, small battery, and like 2000w inverter? Renogy (etc.) sells all of the latter on Amazon that AFAIK don't require any connectivity. But you can't put it in circuit with your house's existing wiring and still be up to code.
An alternative approach, IMHO, is to log all the things and just be judicious about expunging old stuff -- I believe the metrics community buys into this approach, too, storing high granularity captures for a week or whatever, and then rolling them up into larger aggregates for longer-term storage

I would also at least try a cluster-local log buffering system that forwards INFO and above as received, but buffers DEBUG and below, optionally allowing someone to uncork them if required, getting the "time traveling logging" you were describing. The risk, of course, is the more chains in that transmission flow the more opportunities for something to go sideways and take out all logs which would be :-(
Would like to but not so easy.
The idea that they don't have a timeout feature rather than a "banned for life" antifeature explains all you need to know about these megacorps that are mostly the only game in town for what they do. This is why Congress (and other equivalents) need to kick them in the balls every so often to let them know who is actually in charge.
On the other hand, if you outlaw the collection, retention, and sale, transfer, or other trafficking in information derived from large scale face recognition, then the availability of the information will decrease radically. People deploy or obtain access to large scale privacy-invading data sets because they can legally monetize it. If it becomes illegal to collect the data and illegal to be on either side of a transaction, then the information becomes a liability instead of an asset. And outlaws don’t have enormous fleets of cameras.

If you can ascertain that the above is true per capita and that the federal government is footing the bill through social security survivorship benefits, maybe. The objection is not that people can't live and where they want - it's that they expect someone else to subsidize it.

Life insurance takes into account where you live. In non-FEMA flood insurance areas, flood insurance is significantly more expensive.

>If you don't take any risk then you are not really living.

The issue is they aren't taking risks - they're socializing their risks onto people who don't live in flood zones.

If they were actually taking the risk of having to rebuild, we wouldn't be having this conversation.
You are correct, but at the same time your response shows a poor understanding of politics.

A "rather large lack of understanding" of the CIA on the part of the American public is exactly why the CIA is allowed to do what they do. For that reason, this lack of understanding is cultivated by the media and government.
I've never been convinced that efficiency and automation would result in fewer jobs.

Imagine an economy where there were no ATMs. Any time you wanted cash, you would have to walk to the bank and wait in line to talk to a bank teller and cash a check. And every week you'd be paid by a check. Paper records were collected for everything and an army of employees had to reconcile the records. No spreadsheet software was available.

In fact, the number of bank tellers (not even bank employees) actually doubled since the advent of ATMS:

> The number of human bank tellers in the United States increased from approximately 300,000 in 1970 to approximately 600,000 in 2010. Counter-intuitively, a contributing factor may be the introduction of automated teller machines. ATMs let a branch operate with fewer tellers, making it cheaper for banks to open more branches. This likely resulted in more tellers being hired to handle non-automated tasks, but further automation and online banking may reverse this increase.

But somehow today more people work at banks than in the past, even accounting for population growth. Why would CRUD apps that make some stuff more efficient change this?

One of the main features of NeoVim over VIM is that NeoVIM can be embedded into other programs and new GUIs can be built that use libvim. There are now programs you can download that do that, for example [1]. Certainly, this is still an experimental line of software and I don't use the NeoVIM GUIs and don't claim that this has been proven a success yet, but there are some encouraging signs.

That's great that they provide those features - none of that is a reason to require an internet connection to use the solar panel at all.

Your terminal application is an emulator of a decades old technology originally used in physical consoles, with layers upon layers of enhancements that add support for colors, cursor control, etc. At it's core, it's just a grid of characters. The GUI as a platform is quite literally a superset of the terminal, for example because the terminal emulator app is a GUI itself. Hacking the grid of characters to render lines as if it was a GUI is hardly "superior".

I say all that as an avid neovim user myself by the way. On mac/linux I use it through the terminal, on Windows I use it through the QT application.
Java supports AOT via Graal so you can have non JVM setups already.
I used to work in process automation. So you're aware, the reason human CRUD apps exist is to handle edge cases & changing context. Often, it takes more time/money to adequately describe the human process than it does to just do it.

You can see this principle with ERP implementations - they can literally bankrupt an entire company if you get too ambitious with what can be automated.

Edge cases & changing business context aren't going away.
Exactly. Brave just takes Chromium (from Google) and adds weird crypto stuff to it. None of the Chromium forks are "different browsers" in my eyes. They all depend on upstream for everything important. They couldn't develop the browser on their own.

Just use Firefox. It works just as well as Chrome (*), but it's based on a completely different engine which was built from the ground up.

(*) On desktop at least (on Android I still use a Chromium fork for now)
They have a choice. They could ban him until he's 18 or 5 years lapse whichever is longer. It's not black and white and doesn't need to be for life. I know the google guy who informed him he was banned for life has no power over that though. This is a straight up decision from much higher up than his pay grade. So he informed the person and locked it. It's all he could really do. I hope the internet rage-brigade doesn't do anything bad to him.
Okay, but that doesn't answer the question. Would you want a complete ban? Privacy is a pretty nebulous concept. You obviously have to draw the line between privacy and security somewhere.

You can say the ends don't ever matter, but generally things are a balancing act. Bodycams obviously reduce people's privacy, but the accountability provided was considered to justify it. Metal detectors obviously reduce people's privacy, but people justify that by the ends too.

Typically in the US, we give up privacy rights to things done in public and not to things done in private unless if a judge agrees to a warrant.

It's already legal for police to send out an amber alert and have everyone look for a license plate. How is that practically any different than flagging it in a computer and having it alert you automatically when it's viewable in a public place?

I suspect that subject-specific training will always remain necessary (due to individual differences in how brains encode any given concept), and probably also their cooperation.

Take a look at the top 20 advertisers, by total amount spent. You'll see, it's almost entirely large companies that don't calculate any kind of ROI and thus are extremely insensitive to CPIs. Companies like Pepsi and Nike don't and can't calculate ROI, they just want to spend a certain number of billion dollars on ads, even if it's just to prevent competitors from having those ad slots.

Now businesses, that do depend on a positive ROI on ad spend, in order to compete and survive: they are F*ked, sadly.

> our hypotheses about the "natural" speed of evolution are wrong

There's so much to unpack in that sentence! :)

In general, a layman's understanding of a complex scientific topic is going to be wrong but if we restrict "our hypotheses" to evolutionary biologists, then no. Between the (very popular) equilibrium hypothesis that a sibling linked to, microbiology, and the textbook cases of evolution during the industrial revolution [1], biologists have known for a long time that natural selection can be fast or slow.

Regarding "natural" and tying back into the equilibrium hypothesis: non-cyclical rapid changes to the environment used to be much rarer before humans began building civilization, so pre-historic evolution might have looked significantly different. Nowadays, all it takes is a single ship to accidentally transport an invasive species that will wipe out an ecosystem and leave only the ones best adapted to the new reality.

Last but not least, the "speed" of evolution is actually a combination of two orthogonal factors: the mutation rate and selection pressure. Natural selection can only select from the species that exist (i.e. the ones already surviving) so mutation rate is really what most people mean when they say "speed of evolution". Chernobyl is a very special case where the radioactive fallout increases the mutation rate, reduces lifespans by an average of 30% (IIRC) putting more pressure on survival to sexual maturity, and removes much of human interference from the picture. I wouldn't draw many conclusions on evolutionary biology from Chernobyl unless we plan on turning the entire planet into a fallout zone.
