Hungary at least had opt—in checkbox. US political parties are so much worse…

“Voter analytics firm PredictWise harvested location data from tens of millions of US cellphones during the initial Covid lockdown months and used this data to assign a “Covid-19 decree violation” score to the people associated with the phones.

These Covid-19 decree violation scores were calculated by analyzing nearly two billion global positioning system (GPS) pings to get “real-time, ultra-granular locations patterns.” People who were “on the go more often than their neighbors” were given a high Covid-19 decree violation score while those who mostly or always stayed at home were given a low Covid-19 decree violation score.

Not only did PredictWise use this highly sensitive location data to monitor millions of Americans’ compliance with Covid lockdown decrees but it also combined this data with follow-up surveys to assign “Covid concern” scores to the people who were being surveilled. PredictWise then used this data to help Democrats in several swing states to target more than 350,000 “Covid concerned” Republicans with Covid-related campaign ads.”

+1. This sounds like a legislation that someone without the required technical background drafted. Streaming SD vs HD vs 4k will have a negligible power consumption on the consumer, since it's all decoded in hardware. It will at max be a 10W difference - which is less than a classic lightbulb from which there are certainly still a lot in Swiss homes.

On the server side it's even less - CDN servers serve so many users that CPU load is very amortized (I've worked on CDNs before and have the necessary background). The biggest bottleneck for serving higher quality streams is usually available bandwidth on the customers internet connections and backbone links - but neither seems to be a bottleneck for their concerns.

Blue-ray players is the same story. These now used optimized SoCs to decode content, and are therefore energy efficient. Just looking up an example test of a player, a Sony UBP-X700 seems to require 6W. That's about 10k times less than an EV - which means you can watch 7 full days of Blu Rays instead of driving a car 1 minute based on the player power consumption alone. The added TV will make it more like 1 day, but it still shows they are looking at the wrong things.

There is an excellent book on this topic called "Countdown". I highly recommend it.

The author goes into detail about the causes (mostly phthalates, chemicals added to flexible plastics), presents good science to back it up, and overall is just very thorough. I found it compelling and well written.

Another interesting tidbit presented in the book: the increase in the number of trans people is very likely also correlated with the decrease in sperm counts (due to phthalate exposure). She approaches this subject gingerly, making sure to state that there is nothing wrong with being trans; I thought it was well presented and thoughtful.

I'd want to know that drinks aren't full of that stuff regardless of the end-user container material, before worrying about it. They're surely exposed to tons of plastics in the manufacturing process, including at times when various components are heated.

Even water supplies in a house will typically have been in contact with plastics—at the treatment plant, in the house for any modern house (they're pretty much all PEX now, since it's stupid-easy and fast to install, which means it's very cheap), in the hot water heater if they're any hot water mixed in (ever start with a hot tap for water you're gonna boil?), if you've got a filter system that's almost certainly full of plastic, and so on.

You'd also have to avoid canned goods of all kinds, not just bottled/canned drinks. Store-bought canned foods have plastic liners, which all but completely solved problems with canned-good spoilage that we used to have, but does mean ~all canned goods are sitting in plastic, not metal, effectively. Glass-canned might be better but are usually more expensive and there's still plastic on the inside of the lids (how much that matters, I do not know—I'd expect very little, but sometimes these things are surprising, for all I know those inside-the-lids bits use exceptionally awful plastic or something).
"Sugar" doesn' seem to include fruits, thankfully. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29266782/
Feynman's imposter syndrome was actually justified, he couldn't really work at the same level of impact as most of the other Nobel laureates. His Nobel prize work was largely an extension of Dirac's previous work on path integrals, the bulk of the work that showed it to be equivalent to the traditional operator expansion method developed by Schwinger was done by Dyson, which is what really was the crucial piece. In fact, Feynman couldn't even solve the path integral for the hydrogen atom, that was done by Kleinert. In one of his books, he recounted an anecdote of Schwinger who, having made a mistake in a Bessel function, spent a few minutes to derive the solution from scratch to refresh his memory.

It's basically for this reason that he "retired" from theoretical physics relatively shortly after his Nobel prize, he just couldn't keep up with the rest of the research being done.

Bullshit. Importing on-mass energy from other nations was the "magic ingredient". That can be fixed in multiple ways. All of which are green.

I think what's missing here is that TrustCor has no "right" to be included as a root CA. The question to ask is: is it in the interest of the browser's users. TrustCor is some (smallish) risk for basically no gain, so the conclusion is is to remove it as a CA.

This sucks for TrustCor. They may have done nothing wrong. That doesn't matter.
I tried asking it some programming questions -- I found if I asked it things that I was likely to find lots of copies of (or similar things), it did quite well. As soon as I asked it something a bit more unusual, even if the program was quite small, it broke.

One easy way of catching out is to ask "write X in language Y", where X isn't something most people would write in Y -- it usually got it wrong for me.

I'll tell you that 40 years later the people I have rage at are the principals who told me I had no recourse to stop the bullying than the bully himself. It's not just getting hit or the unkind words, it is that the entire community organizes to support the bully and his ability to operate. I'm not particularly mad at the actual bully, in fact in one case I made peace 20 years later with that individual and his family.

I was on both sides of bad behavior in school that involved insults, punching, etc. and this is not necessarily bullying. There was the time a friend and I did something cruel to an MR kid and his big brother (emphasis on "big") gave me the smackdown which I deserved. Not to condone my own behavior, but the fact that this kid got immediate protection from his big bro would have reduced the long term psychological effects of my transgression.

Grit | Senior Software Engineers / ML Engineers | New York, San Francisco, or Remote | Full-time | $150–250k + equity

We’re building software to automatically fix technical debt. We do this by combining expressive static analysis tooling (we’ve built a developer-friendly query language for code) with machine learning to automatically migrate code to new patterns and platforms. We’re still in private beta, but have deployed thousands of successful changes for initial customers and have raised a large seed round from top investors (Founders Fund, 8VC, Abstract Ventures).

We’ve got lots of fun challenges at the intersection of machine learning and programming languages. Our stack is Scala, Rust, TypeScript, Python, and Kubernetes. We’re hiring for both smart generalists and PL/ML experts who are interested in collaborating on problems like automatically inserting new types into codebases and using unit tests for reinforcement learning.

Here are a few reasons you might be interested in applying:

- We work fast and focus on shipping, with a single meeting per week.

- We’re working on the edge of the possible and doing deep technical work in parsers/language design and machine learning. This isn't your average SaaS.

- We mostly work in-person in New York and San Francisco, but remote is also possible for outstanding candidates who have proven success in a remote model.

- I’m personally committed to giving real feedback to everyone who applies.

I wondered the same about those "audits". When we had to introduce SOX and had compliance audits, every moving of my small finger needed to be reviewed and documented and have a trail to a senior manager approving the move of my small finger.
I also notice this feeling in web apps that use React managed inputs for example.

I can tell when there's an extra render in a React app, on an input or just when something renders slightly later than expected like an update is being done in a useEffect after the first render, and I agree that it's really annoying. However, the input latency of a React app should be less than 16ms. There's nothing intrinsic to React (or any JS framework) that means there has to be any appreciable lag. Obviously there are badly written ones that do things very poorly, but if you find one like that you should vote with your feet and move to a competitor.

Understanding Convolutions in Probability
Both recoll and Xapian (the index engine) are written in C++. The document filters are in Python but they only run once per document and tend to be simple and fast (easy to add your own too btw). For my use case of 15GB or so PDF files it has been lean and fast. It has a pragmatic Unix tool feel. I am only using the CLI though so can't speak for the GUI.

Another Xapian-based tool I use is notmuch (email) and that one is very snappy too.

I cannot recommend highly enough having a set of glass bottles[1] at home. Fill them at the tap (or wherever), refrigerate them, take them to the gym, in the car, serve to guests. Point is to have many, keep a rotation going. Has greatly reduced reliance on plastic.

Yes, and that risk would greatly reduce the loans made and prevent colleges from increasing prices so fast. Allowing colleges to garnish a percent of your wages would make a lot more sense actually.
And, from what I understand, Ads don't really "work" inasmuch as they're very high output to very low return.

Tee-hee.
In the short-term, yes.

However, that scenario you are describing is unlikely to last beyond those people who were given the loans before student loans became dischargeable. Lenders would simply become extremely picky when giving out student loans, in the scenario where student loans are dischargeable.

Probably something along the lines of "oh, so your degree is not in CS/engineering/pre-med/<other-high-earning-potential-degree>? And you aren't taking the loan out to attend Stanford/UC/<random-Ivy-school>? And you don't have much in terms of collateral assets to be discharged in case of a bankruptcy either? Well, we cannot offer a loan, sorry". Which would essentially make student loans not an option for vast majority of students.

Does anyone keep a list of vendors like ECOHERO that sell machines with unbloated "minimal" Windows?

I do not know the answer to your question but I would be highly skeptical and leery of a random name site with no website and no credentials doing custom installs. This is akin to the days of pirating Windows on Usenet with slip-streamed patches and other customization tweaks by some random person.

That said, I like the idea of a stripped down install. There are some powershell scripts to do this but they often break things. I believe a much better solution would be a well documented site that shows how to network install a windows ISO and strip out garbage during the installation in a reproducible manor. Such things do exist, I just do not spend much time in windows and do not have such links handy. Perhaps the Microsoft admins here could add to this?

Résumé/CV: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stanley-tse-86487553

Email: StanleyTse85@gmail.com

I am a product development generalist with a focus towards embedded software platforms. I have 14 years of embedded software experience in both embedded Linux and microcontrollers (including bare metal and RTOS) and have built and managed a 5-man embedded software development team for 4 years. I have worked at startups, small companies, and large multinationals.

In my last position, I was involved in product development at all stages from conceptualization to mass production. My involvement included many fields of expertise, including mechanical (checking DFM for industrial designs), electrical (reading schematics and conducting hardware bring-up), software (doing embedded BSP development), testing (working with product validation to develop test cases), and manufacturing (creating production line software verification tests and verifying manufacturing processes at the factory). I also worked with non-engineering teams such as product management (on product requirements and technical specifications) and project management (on project schedules and development costs). The teams I worked with were located across many time zones (including both sides of the Pacific and Atlantic).

As a self-taught software developer, I am a quick learner and very flexible. I recently returned from Shenzhen after 5 years of living there and now I'm looking for a new position that lets me make an impact, develop my skillset, and work on interesting products and problems.
I think it’s about time I learn Rust.
Does the way SBF's case is being handled increase or decrease your confidence in the mainstream media? How about public institutions?
Well, you can just push it at users for ten years solid, like they've been doing with Pocket.

It strikes me that there's a positive correlation between executive pay, and the user-hostility of the resulting product. Firefox (and derivatives) is my daily driver, but I despise the company that makes it. They made their name by being a lightweight, standards-compliant fast browser. I don't know how the company became such a pile of sh*, but I find it credible that excessive executive pay has more than a little to do with it.
Yeah, security researches at Google don't know this!

That's nice for you. Every time I've gone to my local DMV I've waited at least 45 minutes, even with an appointment. Luckily I work remotely so I could work from the waiting area, but most people don't have that luxury and are forced to take an indefinite time off of work to go to the DMV.
