To add to that, there is a difference between personal and professional freedoms. So at work (in some professions) people should have less right to privacy than in personal life. In addition to the examples above: police body cams, communications from politicians, drug tests for pilots or people working heavy machinery...
Those things would be an affront to the average private citizen but are reasonable in some professional contexts.
Tesla doesn't have this problem.

Not this particular problem, no. Tesla has other problems, like trying to drive into pedestrians, or semi-truck trailers, or fire engines...

But at least Teslas don't slow down traffic!

In seriousness, though, it would appear that Tesla's handling of edge cases isn't quite as neat and clean as your comment implies. That might be the spec, but the implementation appears to this outside observer to be a fair bit different.
The pilot of the Boeing 727 (maybe 737) I was in used reverser-only pushback from a gate, 20-30 years ago. This was in the USA. Highly memorable.

There is debate about whether high interest rates work to solve inflation at all. But if you believe they do, it makes sense to want the banks to also pass those rates on to savings accounts instead of only milking the mortgage market. Because that would theoretically cause consumers to save more instead of spending the money.

But these high bank profits could indicate that the high rates have not been passed on to saving accounts.

One issue in Europe is that there is no easy way for consumers to access the high interest rates with their available cash. While the US government has an online portal for consumers to buy state debt directly.
> How would you feel, if you were an author, and people openly advocated piracy, such that you were deprived of sales, and earning an honest living?

I'd feel like I need to start publishing on a non-user-hostile platform and, having been a writer for most of my life AND having used Amazon for over a decade, wouldn't be upset at people pirating my work.

Perhaps if things continue this way, more and more authors will seek alternatives to Amazon Kindle and a new platform will emerge. Unlike video content, hosting for ebooks really wouldn't be that expensive. I think competition is viable in this area.

Imagine this:

You buy a house. Your house has a little box by the front door. The box holds a small House Environment Integrity (HEI) module. This HEI is something your local Home Owners Association installed. They say you cannot open the box or investigate how the module inside works, as this is against the HOA and you will be fined. They tell you this HEI module is meant to help and protect you. To make sure the plumber you hire didn't do a bad job or that the paint you used on your walls doesn't contain lead. They say it's for your benefit and to make your home a better and safer place. This does not reduce the control of your own house.

"We are pleased to resolve this matter"

> There is no good faith.

We in the software industry have already burned that bridge. There's been so much abuse for so long that there can be no reasonable assumption of good faith. Trust now has to be proactively earned.

> Intention makes difference

I disagree. If some guy decided to follow you around and write down every place you go and when you go there, wouldn't you say he's spying on you? Even if he has no ill intent, you can clearly see him doing it, and he literally does nothing with the data he records?

"Spying" is when you're collecting personal data without consent. What that data specifically is and what purpose it's to be put to don't enter into it.

> Also telemetry is documented, so it is no secret

An activity doesn't have to be secret to be spying. And sometimes telemetry is documented, but certainly not always. And often, even when it is, that "documentation" is buried and is hard to find. But regardless, simply documenting a thing is not equivalent to getting consent for the thing.

Think of it this way... why is there so much resistance to getting consent to collect telemetry data? The most common answer I've seen to that question (from the pro-telemetry camp) is "because if we give people a choice, too many will decline to provide telemetry". Which means that they know that lots people don't want this data collected, but want it so badly that they don't care. How in the world is that not spying on people?
Some people can't help bringing this up in every WEI-related thread only to be debunked each time. This very article graciously mentions it and explains why it's a non-solution.

That "proposal" is doublethink in its purest form. WEI is a technology for restricting access to web services. But at the same time, it would try to prevent web service providers from doing exactly that?
> it’s not clear how this reduces control of your own computer.

It eliminates a computer user's ability to have their user agent lie about the platform it's operating on. Such a capability is crucial for privacy and adversarial compatibility.
Simple example: your bank of choice starts sniffing your UA string and refusing to serve Firefox, as they only test the site in Chrome and don't want to service support tickets for any other browsers. Presently you can spoof your UA string and visit the site with Firefox anyway. With WEI the bank site now has the technical means to ensure your browser accurately reports its identity and to refuse access to anything but Chrome.

I'm not necessarily claiming that this is how WEI will be used, but the point is it's now up to site operators to choose what makes a valid visitor, rather than the UA being just a transparent medium between you and a website (provided that each is implemented to spec).

Future.co does this too and it was really irritating. 20 screens of questions, interstitial ads for the product I'm signing up for sprinkled throughout, all to funnel me to a payment page for a service experience that isn't commensurately influenced by my inputs.

Yes, most people are using whatsapp because it was one of the first to use phone number as account handle and to dig into your contacts to find. No risk of mispelling a complicated account name, auto discovery + group chats. The rest is inertia helped by the additions of features like voice messages, video calls, stickers way way way before encryption in order to stay current with the competitions.

If you ask most people how can they be sure that meta is really encrypting end to end, most shrug off saying that meta already knows everything about their lives through FB, Instagram anyway.

Not sure why you’re getting downvoted. I disagree with the idea that everything be pre-allocated, but you make the point in a civil way.

Earmarking everything is almost impossible to do right. Tax revenue streams go up or down from forces outside the legislature’s control. If there’s a bumper crop of corporate receipts, the right move might be to save them in a rainy day general fund for disasters, or when times are lean, etc.

Put another way, if we can’t seem to spend money well doing it in an annual budgeting process, I don’t know how we will do any better trying to do the same thing years in advance when the tax is passed.
How silly. Per million people the US has 14.1 banks, which is only slightly more than the EU's 11.5. I don't really know what's up with the UK and Canada, but there's probably some economic variable I'm not considering.

Thanks for watching our presentation and recommending our solution.

Unfortunately, nothing is ever simple; comparing Spanner and CockroachDB is comparing apples to oranges. Two years ago, we wrote an article that details exactly how the differences matter in terms of a Zanzibar implementation[0], but I can give as short of a summary as possible: Spanner is linearizable and CockroachDB only guarantees external consistency for transactions that share rows. The post outlines how we workaround this and we've also more recently talked about how we've managed to scale that to 1M requests per second[1]. Our team focuses a lot on CockroachDB because we offer a permission systems that can span not only regions within a single cloud, but across various cloud providers. However, if you're all in on GCP, SpiceDB itself supports Cloud Spanner (which we also use in production for our GCP-only customers).

Your advice is spot on, and why we wanted to build a better than the current status quo!

a) we already have a sizeable alumni who have gone through GitStart over time, with many still in touch. We are in works to bring them all together in discord

b) there is no current restriction or even referral feel for both devs and companies to work with each other. The only thing we ask is for devs to either be full time on the platform or work with them directly and pause GitStart

c) good people recommend more good people! And we have a program where as alumni they get free credits for their own companies (over 5 have launched their company and used those free credits)

We currently do not have a referral program for alumni to recommend devs (it is there for currently active devs) but that’s a great idea to roll out!
As I understand it, stretched tuning in a piano is specifically intended to compensate for inharmonicity, not to compensate for the weaknesses of equal temperament. You can apply stretch to unevenly tempered pianos too, and it should also make those sound better. A formal description of stretched piano tuning is relatively recent (1938, with Railsback's publication of his eponymous curve), but some kind of stretched tuning likely goes back to the first piano, as it happens automatically if you tune the piano against itself by ear.
> that should be the "basic social interaction"

Well, it's not.

If "living your life" involves being rude to people and ignoring even the most basic social courtesies, you're an asshole. Part of the service people pay for when they go anywhere is not dealing with rude employees, and yes ignoring basic social courtesies is rude. If you're in Europe you get to have the European social courtesies of minimal interaction, no small talk, etc. If you're in North America you don't get that, sorry.

Washing them is a "canary in the coal mine". You don't need them sparkling obviously, but they need regular maintenance. And with a fleet under heavy use, that's often measured in weeks, not months.
A typical grand piano action works against gravity: the hammers are underneath the strings and are propelled upwards by a series of levers connected to the keys. On an upright, however, each hammer is balanced upright and needs only be propelled sideways. Therefore, it's harder work physically to play a grand piano than an upright; this is compensated by a higher maximum volume with a concert grand because of how much larger the resonator is.

A baby grand isn't to be much louder (if louder at all) than an a full-size upright, but might still have less sympathetic vibration if the strings don't cross as much as they would on an upright. However, sympathetic vibration isn't necessarily undesirable; I'm convinced that the the opening bars of Schubert's Wanderer fantasy (D. 760) was composed deliberately to emphasise the effect.

Modern concert grands almost universally have the double-escapement action, which allows notes to be played very rapidly. That said, you only get the advantage of the massive leverage when starting from a state where the key is completely released, so all subsequent notes take a lot more force to be made at the same volume as the first. There are some uprights with double-escapement, but the are plenty that don't have it either... a 3/4-size 'spinet' a hundred years old is unlikely to possess such a refined mechanism (along with missing loads of strings, to add insult to injury).
The reader needs to know something about the real world that isn't written in the question. You need to know what to pull in from the world. So I can see why it might be tricky.
Maxing CockroachDB Performance: Our Journey to 1M QPS
I don't see how it can hurt adoption? Svelte/Sveltekit are already stable. This is simply an update from the Svelte team about how performance is getting even better. If anything, this inspires confidence from me about how the team is constantly looking to improve the product. Svelte 3 to Svelte 4 was pretty much a painless transition too.

A lot of panic in here about how people think this is a Angular v1 to v2 transition all over again. Svelte version updates are largely behind the scenes so there's really not much to upgrade if your app is already built in Sveltekit.

People who haven't tried Svelte/Sveltekit yet are seriously missing out. It's a breath of fresh air in today's UI landscape. The constant performance gains are the cherry on top.
It does and the limit makes it come off as clickbait-y which I don't like.

Survivorship bias is an interesting thing "I keep living another day, therefore I'll always live another day, I'm immortal." The grave is full of these immortal people.

And we're not richer today. It used to be one person (usually the man) provided for the family and the other (typically the woman) took care of the home and children. One job per family was enough. You may consider it outdated, but think of why it is. It's suddenly not fashionable to take care of your home and children. It fashionable to have two jobs, and for your spouse to also need two jobs. And you're miserable.

No one "chose" this. If they were offered a choice, no one would pick it. The system picked it for us. And we're too myopic to understand what we're walking into. The current employment figures are a sham. The homeless and the unemployed are on the streets, crime is rampant, and this is still paradise compared to what it'll be in 5 years.

So the last refuge is our intelligence, like during the industrial revolution and computing yes? The good old times. "Machines will do the work, so we have more time to think." But this time, AI is coming for our intelligence. Thinking machines. Education won't save you because your education is outdated before they even give you the diploma. And AI doesn't really need you that much lately. You're just clicking a button. And then your boss notices that. And lays you off. Welcome to the singularity.

We choose neither of the options you presented. Instead we recognize that remote attestation is inherently abusive technology and ban it in all its forms.

Nearly, the docs say "To prevent the numerator and denominator from becoming pathologically large, the denominator is limited to 64 bit storage." (https://docs.raku.org/type/Rat)

Please bear in mind that in raku (like perl and other untyped scripting languages) it is normal to say:

my $x = 1;
say 1 + $x; #2
say 'a' ~ $x; #'a1'

My point is that when the type is automatically inferred/coerced like this, is is very natural that small/whole Numerics are Int, that medium/fractional/decimal Numerics are Rat and that large/exponential Numerics are Num (ie double). And that you can freely perform maths operations mixing the various Numeric types at will.

my $y = 1;
say 1 + $y; #2 Int
say 1.1 + $y; #2.1 Rat
say 1e27 + $y; #1e27 Num

And, in raku, if you want to control the type, then just use the type system like this.

my FatRat $r;

I also think from a 2nd order point of view that a denominator of 2*64 means you are dealing with quite a small number 5e-20 ish), although admittedly that is a matter of taste and machine performance. It makes most sense in my view to go with Rat (which is stored as an Int (uint64) for the numerator and an Int for the numerator.

That way (i) you get to use all those transistors that you bought for your FPU and (ii) you do not get a surprise as Rat operations perform slowly without warning.
