If that's true (and only the app who stored the item can retrieve it) I wonder who is responsible for GDPR regarding its storage.

Is the app responsible? But it cannot even access the data after it is deleted.

Apple? They have no idea what the data is.

User? They don't even know about the data and cannot access it either.

No one?

I think one gap I see is figuring out if you can actually solve the problem, and what the solution would look like or if it even exists, how much it would cost, etc.

There are many "unsolved" problems and business opportunities, the problem is finding out which ones could be sustainable or profitable.

The Guardian's journalists just want to see cars gone.

The majority of them live and work in extremely dense city centres. Not only that, their families do too.

They fundamentally don't understand the fact that people have friends, families, jobs, hobbies, etc that exist outside of the metro network.

The idea that people might actually enjoy driving is not only something they don't understand but actively detest.

It's not good enough to them that all of the roads around me are deliberately rate limited or blocked off so that I can't travel around my own neighbourhood.

They can't stand the idea that I could transport myself and my family securely across the country.

It has to be trains. I need to share with others. I need to take my bloody jacket to the bathroom with me. I need to lock everything down in case some scrote steals it whilst I'm distracted. Oh yeah, I also have to pay 50% more for that privilege.

Nothing is good enough for them. The entire origin of the "you'll eat bugs and be happy" meme comes from that idea that for some people it's not about the climate or ecology, it's about just being happy with a student lifestyle forever. They literally run articles like "we're going childless to save the planet". It's like hanging yourself now to avoid dying of old age.

Yep, but I was talking of the fire risk only, not of the presumed health ones.

One case (BTW of a cigarette lighted near an open oxigen respirator) doesn't make smoking on board a fire safety risk.

As said, I find a good idea to ban smoking on board (for a number of reasons, including passengers and personnel health ) but not because it is a relevant/meaningful fire hazard.

It's even worse: I've spent time on the phone with banks trying to get my money back without any effect. I wouldn't have spent that time if I'd spent cash in the first place.

"It's gone forever without any recourse" certainly isn't exclusive to cash. And it can be expensive to even try.

I agree with your point here, but your methodology seems very strict. Almost to the point of self-defeat, because turning to a distraction and finding it isn't there isn't improved attention, only distraction with more steps. I do hope you find your balance, and whatever gets you there is your own, but having grown up under the same approach you're describing, I can attest to the likelihood of an eventual collapse.

Some around here have argued that allowing filenames with spaces was a bad idea. I disagree, but the rationale is not "colonial", it's a matter of practical limitations and whether we should modify our behavior to make the system simpler or try to conform the system to our ludicrously messy standards and, as a consequence, make them more complex and therefor fragile.

The standards do have limitations anyway. For instance, you cannot have an underscore in a hostname on the internet. You can have one in a CNAME, technically, but most CAs will not sign a certificate for any name with an underscore.
You may or may not be surprised at how many drives acknowledge a write, but instead of committing it to the physical storage put it in a cache, and then don't have enough power reserves to flush the cache on power failure... hard to design software around hardware that lies.
The code reportedly diverged too much from WebKit for it to be a straightforward toggle, then a separate company[1] agreed to take on the implementation (and presumably support) burden.

For me it's the ability to type math in LaTeX notation on the slides. Google slides doesn't support this and neither did PowerPoint last time I used it many years ago.

When I was a TA I used a plugin to let me display Jupyter notebooks as a slideshow, that was really handy. Much better editing experience than ppt plus you have readable diffs with git.

> Extremely well put. Any time a business decides on a metric / decision criteria, they introduce a strong incentive for their employees and managers to act accordingly. For some reason, leaders rarely seem to think hard enough about the possible outcomes.

I’m so tired of this advice. Maybe metrics are bad, but the only thing worse than metrics is no metrics.

Discouraging an action just because it doesn’t work 100% of the time doesn’t seem efficient either.

The argument really should be that certain metrics are bad. Sure, propose a better one, but saying that leaders don’t think hard enough just because a metric turns out to have ill effects seems useless advice. How can you be certain in advance when you have thought hard enough?

A better approach is probably to recognize that metrics are hard. Keep an eye on them, iterate, and be willing to make mistakes as that’s the only way to improve.

If the plaintiffs can establish that Musk admits he could have taken Tesla private, that weakens any defense. It makes it more nakedly pumping the stock without intent to follow through. Worse, the reason not to follow through on taking Tesla private is based on Elon's own discretion and funding sources he controls:

Mr. Musk testified that “funding secured” referred not just to financing from the Saudi fund but also to his stake in SpaceX

and subsequently:

“This is an extremely important point, and you seem to be deliberately avoiding it,” Mr. Musk said to Nicholas Porritt, a lawyer for the plaintiffs. But under questioning from Mr. Porritt, Mr. Musk acknowledged that he had not mentioned his SpaceX shares as a potential funding source in a 2021 deposition.

Not a legal expert, but that looks very much illegal.
I'm not, but I do crypto (as in PKI, smartcards) stuff, so let me try to explain some of the thinking behind hardware keys.

The idea of a second factor is that "something you have" is hard for an attacker to also have, however, proof of having something usually means "proof that you know some secret" and that secret itself can often be copied.

The lazy "proof you have" something is SMS auth, i.e. proof you control a phone number. However this isn't great, since in some jurisdictions ringing your mobile provider is enough to get control over that number.

TOTP then says: let's assume you have some secret seed and I also know it. If I take a hash of it (HOTP) and include some time information I have a code valid for a small window that is hard to steal. The benefit is that everywhere this secret exists you can have an authenticator. The downside is that this is rarely a separate device to your computer. You also are going to enter your code into a website... and that might not be the right website, allowing capture of the code via phishing.

The standard for legal, qualified digital signatures in the EU is to have non-extractable keys generated on hardware devices and never backed up. Why? Well, if you lose the hardware token (or it is damaged) you don't lose access to encrypted data, just the ability to sign documents. At this point you have an annoying dance to do to be issued a new token, but allowing backup of the signing key means signatures may be repudiated (because someone else could have stolen the backup).

The same goal applies to U2F / FIDO certified security keys. U2F generates a unique key-pair per authentication target and that private key never leaves the authenticator. This gives you two things: 1) a binding between your target service and your device. Phishing becomes a lot more difficult unless you can present the right challenge-response to the authenticator, and 2) an authenticator you physically need to have present, but don't need a pin or awkward copy-paste of a code to use. You aren't using this key for encryption, but for authentication, so, the backup strategy is: have multiple keys. If you lose one, you can delete that entry from respective accounts.

Password managers exist because some websites are password-only and even if not, you can't always trust they employed argon2id as a password hash. It also saves you having to remember multiple passwords. Your password database is something you will need to keep backed up.

Personally I keep printed recovery codes of really important accounts, spare registered security keys, and a disk with my password database on in a safe place.
There have been articles here before, imagining that China's state and corporate control is an advantage over the democratic free market in the US.

If FAANG executives wanted the same level of integration as China's CCP companies, it would not be difficult to obtain. The top guys could simply make an encrypted phone call between the tribal leaders of Big Tech and in a couple hours all come to the same conclusion.

Probably don't need to do that cause they all believe the same ideals. The beliefs inspire the same actions, at roughly the same time-frame anyway.

Simultaneous action simply is a fact of life, particularly more-so lately. Information is so readily available, just reactions alone happen in a much shorter time delta than before.
They shouldn't be using PBKDF2 for new installations at all. It's been nearly a decade since the Password Hashing Competition, and you should just use the memory-hard Argon2.

Also, W3C should finally get it into the WebCrypto API, but it seems like whoever is responsible for it just let's that API rot. There are fast wasm implementations, though.
>The Work Number is so important that Equifax is engaged in the work that should be reserved to a government.

While I'm sure many shallow ideologues are delighted to read it, this take misses the fundamental problem: concentration of power.

Creating a government organization that does the things Equifax does will not change the balance of power even there's some nominal legislature or executive oversight. Worse still would be giving those tasks to an existing agency. The problem here isn't that Equifax isn't government. The problem here is that a singular organization is providing a set of services and the nature of those services and the information processing they do to provide them results in it having too much power and result in those who it affects having too little recourse. Unless you divy up the services Equifax performs across more organizations, public or private, you will not fix the problem (the clearest path to doing this is probably federal anti-trust law IMO).
> With fewer nix users on macOS, it's more likely you'll run into software which isn't in the binary cache, & so will compile from source.

This isn't necessarily true, unless the package happened to fail to build on Hydra, or it just hasn't been built yet. (Every package is built for every platform that has builders in Hydra, it's not a matter of maintenance unless it just doesn't build.)

Does brew do this differently? I thought they also automatically compile every package.
I can't tell if you're trolling or not. What's so confusing about rational actors reacting rationally to a change in incentives? Do you think there's only one way for a policy to "fail miserably" or something? Once someone knows that they'll likely have to fire some number of their team whether they want to or not, of course they'll hire sacrificial lambs. It's not like the upper management that has that stupid of a policy is going to give two shits if some middle manager claims they missed their own performance expectations because of instability in their team.

And think about the corollary: how much additional effort would have to go into monitoring managers to make sure they weren't circumventing the "spirit" of the given bullshit metric? A company like that would resemble a dystopian regime.

I'm from Ontario, Canada, which has a similar but maybe not exact tipping culture.

Tipping at nicer coffee places (i.e. where they offer espresso-based drinks to order) has been a thing for a very, very long time. I can't recall ever not seeing a tip jar and have been going to places like that for probably 25 years, although if you told me the expectation was stronger nowadays that wouldn't surprise me.

The low end places (Tim Horton's up here, I guess Dunkin Donuts would be the comparison), don't expect tips or put out jars / enable them on their terminals, but Tim Horton's has always had a charity jar at the counter anyway so I would think most people would prefer that one.

What is objective about a law? It still comes down to judgment calls.

First Amendment aside, I fear that restricting speech would result in a backlash from Neo-Nazi types, or worse, a national situation like The Gulag Archipelago describes.

How about teaching to think and write more accurately instead. "I would not have subjected my child to the humiliation of wearing a slave collar and manacles, and then photographing him, and then publishing the photograph. He is clearly shying away from the camera. He appears to be at a critical age developmentally. He may grow to resent this experience rather than learning anything from it."

Sending them back to high school-level English to read Roots and Black Like Me, and then write a paper might work. Framing it that way as a court-mandated punishment does not sound great on its face.

I suspect that some keyboard nazis just need to be exposed to more moderate discourse. However, that will not happen if they silo their discussions in sites like The Daily Stormer.

Escaping a paradigm is the absolute pinnacle of achievement in theoretical science, yes.

I think it would be misguided to go all-in on that goal and forget why these paradigms matter, though. Everyone else in science who helps build those walls makes meaningful contributions too, to the extent that a paradigm is actually useful (wildly different conversation).

If we just scrap every paradigm immediately and move on, that’s sort of the same as going back to tribes and superstition. No one will be able to get very far on their own, not even with a tribe of acolytes. Does that make sense?

The biggest tragedy about science is that it usually has a huge delay on its utility. “Brand-new scientific answers” to practical problems of the day are often not much better than answers you get from other methods, both because the paradigms take time to get discovered and mature, and because people are corrupt. This is not the same as saying ballistics isn’t useful, it’s just that it’s remained useful long after it was brand-new science, and most of the other stuff has been forgotten.
@courgette, I can't reply directly but I'd say (as a longtime service industry worker) it has to go along with genuine respect from the customer, and you have to like them. It has to be a true gesture. It's not as transactional as I'm making it sound when I'm trying to explain it to people who don't tip, never tipped, and don't come from cultures where tipping is normal. Tipping is part of the respect you pay to the person who's serving you. Equally important is looking them in the eye, thanking them, being a polite guest. You'll get no argument from me that simply tipping is not enough to buy someone special treatment.

[edit] also, although I'm not service industry anymore, many of my friends are; so it's pretty understood that no one likes an asshole who just thinks they can "buy" someone with tips. That wasn't the point. Tips are necessary because I really do appreciate what servers are doing.
Caffe Nero is a chain in the Boston area (and elsewhere) which has no tipping when using a credit card. Most locations have a tip jar for cash, bud no option to tip. It certainly helps me think that they’re getting paid a decent wage since they’re not prompting me to tip automatically. And the employees generally seem happy, and payment goes faster since there’s no stuttering and thinking over the tip step.

The same simple credit card machines are used at Qdoba, but there they ask for a tip, even when coming in to get a bowl and doing takeout. Not unreasonable, but the difference in experience and expectation is pretty wild: coffee sometimes takes as long as it does to put a burrito bowl together, yet one expects a tip and one does not.
Customers will tend to be price sensitive more to the listed price than the actual price they pay, particularly when it comes to tips since they're "choosing" to give the tip.

This would earn you the reputation of being especially expensive, even if customers aren't actually paying you more.

Not white and personal instagram doesn't suggest my height (almost all posts are archived, stories only), but there is validation on cool. Honestly, the intentionality of having few posts can be part of that. But I forget that I’ve done that and don't think about it.

I’ve also messaged “thirst traps” from one of my meme/popular accounts to great effect. They don’t show me at all and nothing links it to my personal one. People would be surprised what various women respond to, a popular account is very similar effect to shiny material things that suggest currency/external validation/attention.

I would say that when messages get read at all, things go well for me. Instagram DMs are basically broken for hot or in-demand people (I know from how my own meme accounts works) so if I just tried to send DMs to every profile I saw from a dating app, most would go unread and likely never seen. Some targeting works.

(outside of dating apps and social media, I do many other things to meet women different ways, I’m not really preoccupied with the aforementioned methods but they are also there and romance has happened the way I described)

I would say that I too spend more energy than I would prefer in reaching these intimate outcomes with new women.
