It's not 2 mb in particular; honestly, I'd say 4 mb is the practical starting limit once you're into 16/32 bit CPUs — a Mac Plus / Classic would go to 4, for instance, and every speck of memory free under that made a difference in performance. 2 is a nice limit for total system size, as it allows for (as can be seen in QNX) a very capable, flexible OS, while leaving headroom for programs to run.
If I were asked for consent for all the things you listed, I'd withhold it.

Sort of like how Apple gave users the ability to consent and they overwhelmingly withheld it (to the chagrin of FB).

If someone learns they're watched via cameras while in a grocery store, they may not be happy about it but they'll also generally recognize they're on _STORE PROPERTY_.

The key difference here is that this is being done on the _USERS_ property and you're acting as if they shouldn't have to right to withhold that consent.

Everyone accepts that an employer may look through company emails of its employees because it goes through company equipment.

These same companies then have the unadulterated gall to turn around and try and claim they have those very same rights on _OTHER PEOPLES EQUIPMENT_.

They're laying claim to other peoples compute.
If they can't rollback the transaction, Zelle should reimburse customers itself.
Storing form state server-side is incredibly common, and users _want_ that functionality in most cases. One of the most common sign-up frustrations is entering everything into a sign-up form, clicking submit and having some or all of that information cleared and having to re-type it.

There's no privacy concerns about storing form data temporarily to regurgitate it on reload, and it _should_ be a best practice.
So you stopped using it, but now use it less, and you read history articles that are fiction because they're so old, but the quality had declined recently? Pick a lane.
Every time OS/2 resurfaces there is a comment exchange that says, "who still uses this?!" and "I remember <Unnamed customer> was using it in <period over 10 years ago>"

Does any one have a production, nameable customer in 2022, or, is anyone willing to share why they are still running OS/2 at their work even if they can't name them? I can't quite believe that an OS that found its niche primarily in heavy IBM shops like banking and retail would not, by the same token, have been replaced by the same IBM consulting teams that deployed it when it was viable.

I've been through an IBM acquisition a few years ago, peak Openstack time. They don't know what they're doing or what they want to achieve. They're trying to buy something that would keep em relevant but the end results are usually just sad. Early version of IBM cloud was unstable to a point I couldn't even use it for personal experiments. Last I heard it's still not very close to being reliable, while their middle management is always obsessing about Gartner magic quadrant or whatever that is. It's a dinosaur firmly on its way to extinction along with everything they buy along the way.

Having crypto w/ absolutely no recourse has allowed me to save money on buying silver vs say a credit card and faster clearing than wire or ACH. Recourse means the seller has to bear a risk you may find a way to yank the money back, and at least with precious metals "yuh pay extra for dat."

As a seller, or a buyer dealing with someone I trust, recourse is a serious hazard I want to avoid. For this reason I demand cash or crypto when selling items.
The article basically disagrees with your concerns. You’re fine unless you yourself make a payment using Zelle to someone else. Which is no different than you mailing a check to a fraudster. Not sure why the bank should protect you from yourself to that degree.
Also note: a few tweets down in this thread, the tweeter says "you're right, I retract my criticism". So maybe not extremely well thought out critique after all. On twitter of all places.

Inflation will likely cause a recession and you are advocating for something that will make it worse just vecause other people are doing worse things?

Also, you are trying hard to brush aside the actions taken by the current government that have fueled this (taking numerous actions to limit domestic fuel production in the name of environmentalism, 8 trillion in debt)…
That's pretty low, I'd expect twice that at least.

These smash-and-grab lawyers always way, way, way overstate things in the initial complaint. It's par for the course.

I wouldn't be surprised if Papa John's wasn't even doing any of the alleged things (I have not personally verified)... because it doesn't matter for these types of suits. The plaintiff's lawyers will conveniently ask for a settlement payout less than the estimated cost of litigation, and Papa John's will write a check to make it go away. It's how these things work.

> when people started tracking what you were typing in a box before you submitted it they silently crossed a line that really bothers me

This week I was in a support chat with my cell provider. As usual, despite giving myself plenty of time it went longer than expected and I had to be on a work call. I typed in the box “I have another appointment starting momentarily; can we schedule a call with a rep tomorrow to pick this up then?”

I forgot to hit enter to send the message, and then was shocked when she replied to the message sitting in “draft”.
> * Never use that debit card for anything but the ATM and bank teller authentication. In fact, don't even carry it with you, in case you lose your wallet or somebody tries to take it. Not every bank makes it easy to turn debit card off.

I take this one a step farther and don't even have a debit card, just an atm/cash card. It cannot be used to make purchases anywhere, only to get cash from an ATM. Any and all purchases I make are either cash, or with a credit card.

Some banks may look at you weird when you request such a card, or act like they don't do them (anymore), but my credit unions have accommodated me.
Most managers I know just want to grow their headcount and are not too critical of their hires.
HotJar would have a very serious interest in litigating this issue, whereas Papa John's will have a very serious interest in writing a check to make this go away.

That's why HotJar is not the named defendant.
It's not supposed to be a slippery slope. This is where a functioning "Scrum Master" is supposed to tell that person to stop talking and move on to the next person. That never actually happens though, so the next best scenario is light shaming of the guy who talks too long. If you have bad managers or too many people with management anxiety then it can be good to kick them out of the meeting.
I don’t think it matters if you’ve never been in a relationship, you’re not looking for the right women if they are upset with you about that.

Also you don’t have to come up with a label for your interests.

There is no requirement that the law be applied consistently for some action. Insider Trading doesn't imply all trading is illegal. Being able to pop off fireworks doesn't imply doing so anywhere is legal.
The split into 12 is not just in western music. 12 appears in the 22 shruti system in Indian music due to not all 22 tones being used; the 22 can be seen as alterations in a 12 framework.

There is something "special" about 12 note chromaticism with 7 note diatonic scales.
After reading this thread, it seems like a necessary paradox. Some quotes in here claim that to use some other number doesn't really allieviate that risk since it is effectively transferred to the signal servers. E.g., there's no way to get around that fact that you must be identified to communicate, it is a matter of who owns that ID ... Hence the paradox. (I may be misunderstanding here.)
that seems like a super valuable domain being very under used.
Oof, that's bad news.

Banking access is not actually very particularly secure. The only thing that keeps banking practically secure is the banks reversing fraud when it's discovered and the government sending fraudsters to jail.

If the banks don't hold up their end of the bargain, the system begins to collapse because they certainly aren't technologically secure enough to guarantee security of customers' money, which is one of the primary functions of a bank.
Someone should inform Brandon Sanderson of this trend

It can be a problem when you are out of town and need banking services. My credit union is in CA but after my move to New Mexico I had to open an account at Chase just to get a special signature notarizing that only banks can do.
> It's next to impossible to prove.

Is it impossible to prevent?

What types of entities are in a position to be most able to prevent fraud?

What kinds of interventions can mitigate fraud?

> That's what they're calling "fraud" or "scams" here, and there's no reason your bank should be on the hook because you did something dumb with your own money.

On this point we disagree. My viewpoint is one of "what entity has the most ability to do something about the problem". Yours is one of individual responsibility.

I would prefer the bank do something to protect my vulnerable grandma from doing something wrong to one where her mental decline and therefore her inability to comprehend her impending mistake is her responsibility.
Agreed. Think of all the other things we have come to take as normal.

Carrying car keys (or a fob)

House keys.

Wallets.

IDs.

They all require some mental effort.
I agree - I think scaling laws and scaling hypothesis are quite distinct personally. Scaling hypothesis is 'just go bigger with what we have and we'll get AGI', vs scaling laws are 'for these tasks and these models types, these are the empirical trends in performance we see'. I think scaling laws are still really valuable for vision research, but as you say we should not just abandon thinking about things beyond scaling even if we observe good scaling trends.
That would then be the first law of it's kind, to mandate how a website is to operate on a technical level.

Even the existing ADA laws do not specify technical details (which is why they are abused in frivolous lawsuits to often).
> It's a MVS TK4- distribution and probably 99% of a z/OS functionality plus it's Public Domain.

MVS TK4- is very old compared to z/OS. It's like comparing Berkeley Unix to Linux. Yeah, the system calls are similar but there is so much missing. Not to mention, to understand mainframes, you really need access to the whole SW ecosystem, which includes stuff like DB2, CICS, MQ, IMS.. these are building blocks for applications.
If this is a concern of yours, don't migrate your account. All instance admins play the role of Twitter CEO on Mastodon, which means (much like Amazon, Apple, Google, Facebook, Microsoft, Netflix, et. al) they can access all data you've trusted them with. The point of Mastodon is that it broke down these data silos, and give people more sane ownership models for social media. Your privacy concern is valid, but Mastodon doesn't advertise itself as a private protocol. A glorified microblogging platform doesn't really have a whole lot of data to leak besides maybe your DMs.

> We should have the expectation for private data that the operator cannot read it

That's called heterogenous encryption, and it's the technological equivalent of Mythril. End-to-end encryption doesn't stop the operator from decrypting your data. In fact, pretty much everyone has to, since raw encrypted TLS data can't just get slotted into your OneDrive/iCloud account. These operators literally need to read your data to operate on it. I genuinely don't know how you would engineer a more secure architecture here.

If you want to talk about architectures designed for malicious actors, you probably shouldn't start with distributed systems. Monolithic, profit-driven corporations like Twitter are much easier to tempt with salacious "data brokers, political shadow companies and "the feds""
This reminds me of days of unstable internet connections & form submissions not working randomly. In those days, I would type my comment in Notepad first and then copy, paste, and submit. Perhaps, it is time to restart that practice.
Math is one of the main categories--although there are other especially adjacent ones--where I often think that 1.) You either already know this stuff or you're going to emerge no more enlightened and probably click elsewhere after the first few sentences, and 2.)

Semi-related: "there-must-be-an-eslint-rule"-fetishism.

Some developers seemingly can't live in a world where certain constructs can be used sometimes in the code, and others at other times, depending what is more appropriate in a given context. If they think construct B is superior over A, they will put in place an eslint rule that forbids A and always forces you to use B.

In some cases it happens that B is clearly superior because A is known to be broken for reasons x,y,z, then I'm okay with this.

But sometimes those kind of rules are taken out of nowhere for no good reason, just a personal preference, or with a fake reason like this blog shows (certain construct is only better at certain times, but not always).

Yes, and the guitar solo equivalent would be linking to a Paul Graham article.
The first one (of many) that comes to mind is not looking to the future when I started life on my own. Had someone told me when I was in my 20s that a day would come much sooner than retirement age when I would be sick of my career (and had I listened--not at all a given) I would have been much farther ahead in my life now. If I had started investing right from the start, especially as the stock market was booming back then, I could have retired some time ago.

Related to that, I wish I'd found and fostered some sort side gig that would have allowed me to eventually ditch the 9-to-5 work life.

I wish I had realized how important it is to find some place you enjoy living (for whatever reason--friends, recreation opportunities, favorable weather, etc.), and then doing what you can to make a life there. Instead, I pursued jobs wherever they took me and I think my family paid a price for that instability. I didn't realize for a long time, but I think that I, too, paid a price for all those relocations in pursuit of the next job.

And then related to that, I wish I had not been so optimistic about my jobs. I should have realized that no matter how convincing the dream being sold to me, it was never going to be that good. I should gave treated my jobs as paychecks, as means to another end, not something into which I should pour the best of my attention and purpose of life.

Wow. I have never told anyone all this.
Low contrast text seems to be a thing of the modern internet, because it "looks better" as long as you are not trying to, you know, read it.

Actually, I would say, stop using RDF/XML and JSON-LD. The biggest mistake one could make is to think that JSON-LD is JSON. JSON is a document (tree), JSON-LD (RDF) is a graph. There be dragons if you try to parse JSON-LD graph with a JSON document parser directly.

Use Turtle instead. It will actually be easier that way, as you only need to understand how a graph data format like Turtle works. With JSON-LD, you need to understand both the RDF graph model AND how graphs are encoded in JSON documents in a standard way.
Ok dont laugh at me. Having grown up outside the US - I never even got a chance to go to E3 :(. Have to atleast take my kids there!
You actually answered my question, thanks. I was/am just curious about which person has the decision power about who works on which part. But I guess it goes something like: person A tries to solve X. If he can't solve it, he asks the team and someone in the team will try helping. If the problem cannot be solved within a reasonable timeframe, then someday management will ask what's going on.
We’re hoping to make progress on decentralised accounts on Matrix by the end of the year.

It's hilarious because of Simula's size compared to the rest, and because it doesn't include Apple/Valve, and really, only those two should even be on the list at all! They literally subpoenaed everyone except their real potential competition. I get it, they subpoenaed whoever they could.

The US may be in the more "morally correct" position on Ukraine, but it hardly has a reputation for its "moral position in the world". It has managed to retain hard and soft power through its own invasions, and would likely not give up any of either if negotiating deescalation in Ukraine to avoid nuclear armageddon.

1. Malthus is still cited(and applies I think) a lot in historical papers when discussing preindustrial societies and that was the mindset I was in when I wrote the comment.
2. I didn't really consider "endless" in the scenario present. In an endless world you you' ll get infinite wars. Whereas in an finite world you get finite wars so the "endless" we world will always more wars then the finite.

I will inform my talented creative friends that their desire to be compensated fairly for their hard work is misguided. Companies themselves are not inherently talented. If the company is creating something that other people will pay (well) for, the company should consider the talents of their employees as the actual "talent" of the company. So for a company to be talented it must attract talented people. To the best of my knowledge having "chops" is necessary but insufficient for a company to be successful. Pixar might be a good example. In "Creativity Inc" Catmull describes how Job's delay in granting stock options to employees was f'ing things up. Talented people need to eat, have shelter and send their kids to school too.
