Opt-out telemetry is unacceptable, this also signals that the product team has no vision and the organization is riddled with bureaucracy.

Great products get built by someone with a vision to create them, mediocre products gets created by product managers justifying their positions with data they've gleaned by spying on users.

> Mutexs don't compose.

The don't compose because (as you hinted) lock taking/releasing order has to be the same for all callers, but if mutexes are being taken behind the scenes then API usage order becomes critical, and it is trivial to screw that up.

> Lockless algorithms may be slower or cause performance issues, but they don't malfunction because you got the release order backwards.

And they may scale better. Scalability is important.

For me the classic case is rw locks vs. RCU-ish schemes. I think there's no case where rw locks are ever appropriate if you have an RCU-ish alternative. For example, OpenSSL uses only rw locks -- nuts!

Please don't do that! Good reasons to borrow ideas from make would be familiarity for those coming from make, but definitely not because make is ergonomic. The entire reason you must put in tons of mental effort to grok this one true method of make usage I linked above is specifically because of how non-ergonomic make is out of the box.

My comment was meant to be practical advice considering make's popularity. A while back I wanted to replace a legacy script that generated Makefiles for a project at work, and I started out by making something very similar to Piper in python so it was easy for coworkers, etc, but ended up finding the guide I mentioned in my above comment while doing gcc dependency generation. Since I was targeting make underneath anyways, and my needs were less complex than I thought, I ended up scrapping my redundant python build tool.

You could theoretically set up multiple competing government agencies, each with their own root key. That would deal even with organisational risk.
I suppose it’s a matter of perspective, if you love the lockdown these pieces are just confirming your own beliefs, otherwise it’s making excuses for some pretty ridiculous policy.

You are correct that these excuse pieces are not justifying the whole thing. On the contrary, the whole thing justifies ridicule. At the very least.

Is there any way to know if any audit mechanism works before it's actually been put into practice?

I share your concerns, but it seems a bit early to worry that auditing + lawsuit enforcement isn't worth giving a spin.

Do we have examples of similar legislation that has or hasn't been successful with similar contexts/enforcement? The closest examples I can think of are in finance, like fair lending laws or SOX compliance; both of which are heavily dependent on auditing data.

Well, for starters, because you expicitly call to allocate. A static array is implicitly allocated by saying you want an array.

Furthermore, neither does any memory management, the memory is retained till the end of the program. "Simple memory acquisition" perhaps, "memory management" not, except if we accept it as a degenerate case, where things aren't even freed except when the program ends.

> What speculative claims are presented as fact?

Specifically these:

> Neanderthals were more inclined to stay in their family groups and were warier of new people.

In the absence of living Neanderthals to study or written records describing them, I don't see how what's stated there about their thoughts and mental attitudes could be known at all, let alone with such certainty.

Archeological evidence might be able to say they tended stay in their family group, but it seems like a speculative leap to say they did so for particular subtle psychological reasons.

> ...given that they were genetically disposed to being less friendly to those beyond their immediate family.

I'm no expert on genetics, but I'm skeptical any kind of existing genetic analysis could give that kind of behavioral detail.
I have had some great friendships form at work. But I've also had really difficult situations. I've seen friends form and then become bitter enemies, transitioning from workplace disagreements to personal disputes.

The fact is we aren't in the army. This isn't band of brothers. Some people don't want to know anything more than how you're helping them finish some task for their job. There are going to be varying levels of motivation, care, etc.

> I've noticed that as my career has gotten more remote, it's harder to even count on making new adult friendships into my 30s. I'm like a stranger in my own town, unless I really intentionally take the time to join clubs/groups outside of work.

I think you should explore finding friends outside of work. I've seen many go down the "friends only at work path." Then they retired, switched jobs, and moved on, and that friendship faded just as quickly. It's amazing how many people will be your friend when forced to be with you (e.g. gotta go to work) but given the choice they aren't choosing you.
Right along with this, about we set up enforcement and require all data brokers to register with the gov't and give them API access for enforcement queries. Then the gov't can have a page that lets citizens find out which data brokers have information about them. Hell, let's put a button on that page that says "Forget me."
Speaking of Star Trek AIs, I don't remember any of them acting in a way more intelligent or purposeful or even smart than a primitive database with voice input. I don't remember any characters asking computers (Data, Doctor and such excluded, as clearly exceptional) for advice on anything substantial, or any computer playing any independent role or providing anything beyond mechanically complying with badic prompts. I don't think anybody ever referred to them as anything approaching a person, unless explicitly personified as an unique exception.
Yeah that's completely reasonable, but there are a lot of people trying to sell you on career success that is a mirage.

GPT++ is going to have to be better than ChatGPT-3 before people in charge will trust it with such decisions. for a cynical take, it can't really be bribed in its current form, so if you simplistically see politicians a being corrupt, GPT++ won't be installed until it can be bribed to act the same as a politician would be, at which point you'd have to exact same level of worry as with today's politicians (who can currently easily be lied to by a lobbyist).

Show HN: Featurevisor – Git-based feature flags and experiments management
Why?

- Decouple application deployment from releases

How it works:

- Make changes to your features and segments (YAMLs) via Pull Requests
- Generate datafile (JSON file) in CI/CD workflow and upload to your CDN
- Fetch datafile in your application runtime and consume with SDKs

Supports:

- Feature flags: boolean flags
- Experimentation: a/b tests
- Segments: targeting traffic with conditions
- Variables: namespaced under each feature and conditional
- Gradual rollouts: avoid big bang releases, go from 0% to 100%
- Consistent bucketing: same user sees same variation
- Multiple environments: prod, staging, test, and more
- Force bucketing: allow testers to force enable/disable for themselves only
- Tagging: resulting in smaller datafiles for your application(s)
- Tracking: integration with any analytics tool
- Status site generator: for human friendly status reporting
- SDKs: for Node.js and browser environments, Kotlin/Swift planned for future

So a kid with cancer needs to pay the government for Medicaid? After all, they are the ones receiving the benefit.
To the degree that they can do it, they can only do that because they own both the hardware and the software, and they are tightly integrated.

You need hardware that can securely hold secrets; you need software to detect tampering and tell the hardware about it; you need software that the hardware trusts to communicate with apple servers. Without the whole integrated pipeline from local secrets cache to apple servers, protected because it's all owned and managed by the same secret-keeper, what apple does can't be done.

This codifies a unified surveillance apparatus.
Ocaml code compiles to native binaries, just like Go/Rust.
nostr isn't a platform though, it's a protocol. Something closer to SMTP than to Facebook. Go build a little something on it (there are decent libraries for popular languages at this point which makes it easy) and see for yourself. It doesn't feel like a platform, it feels like a tool.
I also grew up on the internet, most of folks at my workplace grew up with the internet and... everyone noticed that during covid you miss out on a lot of growth and interesting conversations from unplanned meetings, I think it's a bit silly to assume there's nothing to gain from having a shared space at the office, the same way it's silly to think there's no cost in having to go to an office either.
Yeah, I switched away from Google for this reason. Pretty wild to think of the implications of losing your phone and having no backup. Even switching phones required resettings all your codes. Authy is a mess, but at least had this functionality when they were still actively worked on.

A better model for your purposes might be the “Bottled in Bond” model where bourbon had to be kept in government-owned whiskey aging warehouses. All PII data would have to be kept solely in government-owned databases. Your model would not be many citizens’ first choice because it makes the government surveillance absolute.

However, I don’t think there’s a good solution for those of us who’d like to return to the level of privacy afforded to us in the early ‘90s or before. I don’t believe that will ever be an option again.
> These guys aren't doctors because they don't fix anything. They just study it to use it the best way to accomplish their goal.

By that logic, most doctors aren't doctors. The primary job performed by many medical professionals is simply that of convincing the patient to leave the office happier than when they came in, actual medical practice be damned. They "just study" the superficial aesthetics of medicine to "accomplish their goal" of making money and maintaining status (and of course, less cynically, making other people happy).

At the end of the day, these are all silly word games. Titles are meaningless in the search for truth. They exist only to flatter us as the infinitely fallible humans we like to be, and there isn't any point in picking fights over them.
Is this an issue of make, or shell? If we properly quote all variable usage, shouldn't it simply result in quoted values in shell commands, which are then correctly interpreted? Or do you mean when using something with spaces in make in-built functions?
I've been looking for settings like this on my iPhone -- I'm probably in the minority here but I'd love to be able to do a couple of simple gesture-based commands on my phone. E.g. when I'm driving and my phone is mounted just slightly out of reach, and I no longer need my screen on and displaying Maps, it would be great if I could do some kind of hand wave to lock the screen. Sure I could mount my phone closer, or just lean over a bit and hit the button, or probably even ask Siri to do it... but dammit a [Jedi | Minority Report | Tony Stark ] hand-wave would be much cooler :) Pixel phones have some similar abilities: https://support.google.com/pixelphone/answer/9517454

Natural versus artificial person is probably irrelevant. (Sole proprietorship is a "normal non-incorproated human" doing business.) If your personal website is somehow collecting information from non-visitors and then selling it, that's a data broker. In practice, I can't see why or how that would accidentally occur.
The identity is controlled by a cryptographic key on the client side so even if you get kicked of a server you and whoever is in contact with you can just grab your data from other relays.

From the article:

> Earlier this year, Tesla made a first effort to try to get those vehicles off the perk by offering owners an extra $5,000 discount if they trade in a Model S and Model X with unlimited free Supercharging.

> Now Tesla is doubling down on this effort by launching what it calls a new “Ownership Loyalty Benefit.”

> The automaker is offering those owners six years of unlimited Supercharging when buying a new Model S or Model X by the end of the quarter.

In the article How much does it cost to charge a Tesla? [1] the Cost to charge a Tesla Supercharger/DCFC is in the range of $5.28 per 100 miles (Model Y) to $5.97 per 100 miles (Model 3) to $6.37 per 100 miles (Model X) to $5.88 per 100 miles (Model S Plaid).

Lets take a blended average of $5.80 per 100 miles.

Average miles driven per year (CA) is 14,435 miles. [2]

That gives a supercharger charging cost of $837.23 per year.
For 6 years, that is a cost of $5023.38 without considering time value of money. If we use the national average from [3], Tesla Model Ys are driven 13,500 miles and at the average Model Y charging cost of $5.28/100 miles that is $712.80 or $4276.80 over 5 years.

And customers did not bite the $5k offer in expected numbers to surrender the free supercharger perk. Perhaps, Tesla should look at upping the offer.
