That kind of unbounded massive privacy violation would result in million € fines (if not dozen or hundreds of millions) under GDPR law. And it was already not possible at scale in major European countries before GDPR. What permit it to happen in the USA at scale, is that the baseline of protections is so low compared to Europe. Depending on the state it is getting better, but there is still this culture about making massive files on everybody about everything and then selling them to anybody who ask and pay. Such databases are often forbidden in Europe to begin with because we think of what could happen if they are misused.

The notion that the fault would completely be on a "Belarusian teenager stealing your identity" and no responsibility whatsoever on people organising a system of massive private data collection in the first place, and then not even able to keep such data secure, is ludicrous. And even when you know that privacy invasion is attempted all the time you don't reach the conclusion that at the very least better securing the data would be needed, that task I'm not sure can be done by any "Belarusian teenager" - and that task has de-facto not be done by whoever is collecting and maintaining the private data that has leaked and is still leaking.
anecdotally, I know of some south african ISPs that have gone to extreme measures with steel armored containers, razor wire and such to prevent telecom battery systems from being stolen. Along with any other electronics. It's a hard problem to solve when you have lots of remote, unstaffed locations with electronics and batteries.
With specific respect to ADAS systems reducing fatigue:

> We investigated the effects of ACC and HAD on drivers’ workload and situation awareness through a meta-analysis and narrative review of simulator and on-road studies. Based on a total of 32 studies, the unweighted mean self-reported workload was 43.5% for manual driving, 38.6% for ACC driving, and 22.7% for HAD (0% = minimum, 100 = maximum on the NASA Task Load Index or Rating Scale Mental Effort).

> Interviewees reported being less mentally and physically tired—though most focused on the former—both while in transit and upon arrival at their destination. Twelve (12) interviewees mentioned this. The reduction in tiredness seems to be because, from the interviewees perspective, partial automation takes over a substantial portion of the driving task.
My cities public transit system is currently limited by the number of drivers they can find. The pay is quite good, they just can't sign people up. This has lead to extreme inconsistencies where if a driver calls in sick a bus or train just won't show up for 30 minutes instead of the usual 10. Driverless busses allow for the system to greatly expand the number of routes and increase consistency.
I'm sorry, but I just don't buy that it's as good as the MacBook. Can you detail what model Asus laptop you're using? I'm legitimately curious what the hardware is.

The only trackpads I've found that feel close to Apple's on a hardware level are the ones produced by Sensel (https://sensel.com), and those aren't in every laptop. Then you have the driver situaton on top of it, and Apple's tight vertical integration just always seems to give it the edge - I literally never experience invalid taps or movement, etc.
Exactly, what reason do they have for being more careful if there's nothing to lose and everything to gain for them?

Heh, in Paris, went to Ste-Chapelle, which is connected to the supreme courthouse. Happened to be during the terrorist bomber trial.

Maaaaaassive security. CRS everywhere, out of town Gendarmes there, airport style security to get into the church, police questioning every non-white person on the street.

And there it was, inside the courthouse compound, some low-end 80s Peugeot bicycle double locked to an interior fence.
The GP would need to see if they have ever used any Transunion service. There is probably a click-wrap agreement that you can't sue for basically any reason. Maybe it will go to arbitration, where they won't do squat for regular people.

Now I don't understand at all anymore why you're disagreeing so strongly. I don't think anyone has proven that it's inherent to emergent properties that they can't be understood or explained in detail. One just has to explain the mechanisms of emergence in addition to explaining the component parts reductively (and if that is your objection to reductionist arguments I would be inclined to agree with you). But such an explanation of how intelligence can emerge from simple component parts is exactly what could potentially be provided by a better understanding of AI systems.
This is a great writeup, I think I've found myself in every one of those segments.

One piece that feels like it could use more exploration is the ability to mandate. Some of it is leading through influence, but a place I've struggled is when stakeholders have a different mandate than my own.
You did pull yourself from the bootstraps, but you also had the benefit of being a citizen of the US.

The economy is large enough in the US that there are plenty of opportunities. The entire economy of Canada is roughly the size of Florida, yet has 2x the population.

If you can't find a job or opportunity in Orlando or Tampa, you can always move to Atlanta or Dallas or NYC or Charlotte or Sacramento. Within Canada you don't have a similar option - most jobs are located in a handful of highly expensive cities (Toronto, Vancouver, Ottawa, Montreal, Calgary), which limits your mobility.

There is no city in Canada that has both relatively high wages and relatively low CoL. There is no equivalent of Phoenix or Columbus or Dallas within Canada.
Not a dumb question. My car slightly predates FSD. The behavioral issues were a result of:

- Enhanced Autopilot $5000 option that I can't get a refund for

I commented because the lack of ethics of this company still apply regardless of the specific tech.
None of it is mandatory - there are plenty of people in the US without any government provided identification and it costs money to acquire such an ID.

The only one you can't really dodge is a birth certificate.

> Senator Ron Wyden told 404 Media in a statement that “These companies have demonstrated that they can't control who has access to their data products. The government needs to stop these companies from packaging and selling our personal information, and the senior executives that put profit over national security and Americans' safety should be punished accordingly.”

I'm amazed that the quote from a politician is the most even handed substantive part of this article. The rest of the article is essentially scaremongering a misguided narrative around "criminals" gaining access to surveillance databases, when the real problem is the uncontrollable and unaccountable surveillance databases existing in the first place. The US desperately needs a port of the GDPR to give us data subjects the rights to control and prevent dossiers being kept on us.

You can see that Tesla always reports ADAS version as: [REDACTED, MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL BUSINESS INFORMATION].

Almost every other company reports the version almost always if it is known. Some companies have many unknowns, but most of those crash reports seem to be from customer reports which appear to not have associated telemetry.

Of note, most of those reports with unknown version include un-redacted summaries and injury severity information, so they do seem to be good faith efforts, if somewhat lacking in actionable information.

In contrast, Tesla redacts all narrative and does not confirm injury severity. In over 700 cases, around 95% of their reports, they choose not to investigate whether an injury or fatality occurred.

In the ~5% with a confirmed injury/fatality, exactly one has no 3rd party confirmation. The other ~95% have no 3rd party reports of injury/fatality and lo and behold, no injury/fatality is reported.

This is straight up impossible if you look at the crash reports. There are literally tens if not hundreds of high speed oncoming, t-bone, object, and pole collisions all with no recorded injury/fatality. They are absolutely reporting in bad faith.

To add on, just because it's cool, there is a 3rd category in play with Mesa of layered drivers.

A 100k salary can afford a studio in Toronto.

I found 199 listings within the boundaries of Tornto on Zillow under 2000 Canadian dollars per month, which is well under the rule of thumb for rent to income ratio.

I found 1 and 2 bedroom listings along with studios.

This doesn't include the rest of Greater Toronto, just the boundaries of the city.
It turns out most Americans don't want more and better trains. So you'd have to convince them.
If they marketed it as "driver assistance" and not "full self driving" I would agree with the redaction. Assistance software is just that, but when you sell it as set it and forget. Then it is relevant to the story.
For most home applications all your need is to replace the jets in the appliance - $.25 in parts. Stoves and dryers commonly come with both sets, and I've seen furnaces that can be converted. I've never seen a water heater than can be converted, though it is in theory possible.

The hard part is an entire neighborhood must be converted at once. You have all summer to convert the furnace, but things used all summer like stoves, or water heaters have to be done for the entire neighborhood in one day. This means a lot of logistics to get the right parts and labor in place to do the work. Though if people are willing to accept propane takes outside their house you can delay a bit, but it needs to be done before everyone needs heat.
Something like this would be a welcome addition to Ruby/Rails where you have to pull in dependencies that patch the multiple independent loggers in the stack, some of which break messages onto multiple lines, not to mention the common case of inconsistent tagged and structural logging in your application code.

It’s a lot of effort when all you want is to log everything to STDOUT, in JSON, but you have to choose one of half a dozen logging libraries that all behave extremely differently.

There are 99 fatalities per day in the US from car accidents.

Since my kids reached school age, I kinda wished we had a landline again.

People call all the time to ask if so-and-so is here, or if the kids are home, etc. Since they don't know who is home and who is at work, they'll first text and then call the kids, then me, then my partner, in random order. A land line would be much nicer.
1) Social media. News. Most forms of advertising

2) I don't like filling my mind with garbage and being influenced by business interests unnecessarily

3) Wholesale reject all forms of advertising, and let nothing replace it. In the paraphrased words of Banksy, fuck all advertising.
Admittedly I'm not a huge fan of having:

slog.Info("hello, world", "user", os.Getenv("USER"))

It's a little magical that "user" is a key. So what if you have multiple key-value pairs? Arguably it most likely going to be obvious which is the keys, but having every other value be a key and the rest values seems a little clumsy.

I really like Pythons approach where you can have user="value" it makes things a bit more clear.
there is a state where someone is technically alive, but our current medical knowledge and technology is not able to keep this person alive and bring them back from that state. so while they are not yet dead, there is no more hope. what happens is that as our knowledge and tech improves, our ability to "revive" someone gets better, so the state where someone is really dead gets pushed out more and more.

I live in a state (MA) that recently passed such a law. Based solely on the advertising from both sides, it was obvious that voting for it was the correct thing to do.

The best the opposition could do was to create two commercials. One featured an independent mechanic (a body shop, as it turns out) talking about how he doesn't need that info and a commercial featuring a woman about to be assaulted in her garage, presumably because right to repair enabled some nefarious actor to get her garage code.
I left Toronto Canada 30 plus years ago for a Tech job in the US. I earned more in my first 10 years than I would have earned in my entire working life had I stayed in Canada. Anyone who has the opportunity to land a job in the US would never consider going back to Canada because it just doesn't make sense. If you're making 150K USD or 300k as a couple, a flight back to visit family or friends once a month is trivial.
There's plenty of conservative content on TikTok so I wouldn't paint it as some progressive paradise. That platform is mostly misinformation, and is playing a huge role in radicalizing people on the right
My understanding is that Nix was initially invented to solved the "producing builds with a fully specified dependencies graph" problem; people then figured out that it can dub as a package manager to support a better developer experience.

Docker, on the other hand, was introduced to solve the deployment problem --- it provides light-weight isolation so that you get boggled in resolving dependency conflicts. Of course, people later also use it drive development environments, which I find quite sensible.
I wonder how many of those went to get an MBA. That's the point of this masters, giving management knowledge to people with non-management degree. Like engineering + MBA -> promotion. I've worked for companies who pay MBAs for employees who are on-track to management.

I created my first program on punch cards in '79. I can't even remember what the programming language was although I suspect FORTRAN. I wish I'd kept a listing.

Tangentially, my valued copy of The Lord of the Rings that I loved as a child has the date 'Christmas 1973' inside the front cover. I'm going to read it again this Christmas, 50 years later. I've been avoiding anything Tolkien-related since about 2017, when I last re-read it (and noticed the upcoming anniversary), to come to it as fresh as possible, accepting that I know the story backwards.
Overall this is my standpoint too. But it depends on how KPIs are set. I think it is more destroying to not have any general directions at all.

> I still don't understand why people think in 2023 that Android can not be a viable alternative to an iPhone.

Because some people, like yours truly, enjoy having a patched up-to-date mobile os, but also don't need to change their phone every other year. My Iphone 7 which I bought refurbished in February 2017, still works perfectly after a battery change. It has the previous iOS version, but it keeps receiving security updates. All the apps I need work on it (games may be too much for it, but luckily, I have a PC with a big-ass GPU for that). My dad's Galaxy S7 hasn't had an update in a while. He tried to install 1password, a freaking password manager which is basically a glorified notepad, says it doesn't support the phone and / or the android version. His GS7 is working fine otherwise, though.

> Macbook Air M1, just look at Dell XPS series.

This has to be a joke. I can wholly understand people not valuing build quality and preferring to save money over that or invest it someplace else. But that doesn't make it "comparable".

Have they finally fixed the touchpad moving by itself or ignoring your finger? The fan spinning like a jet engine for no reason? I hear nowadays everybody's on the "modern standby" bandwagon. How do you like your battery draining 50% while on your commute home while the PC supposedly sleeps? Or waiting around for it to wake up from hibernation? That's if you're lucky enough it doesn't burn down your bag because it figured it's as good a time as any to wake up and do who knows what, which absolutely couldn't wait.

I won't comment on the ipad nor the watch, since I've never owned any of those.

Correct, certainly not perfect. I actually view 1,2 as features, and 3 as preferable to some of the active harm that comes with other incentives. You could reject that and optimize on something else.

The goal is really to understand the impacts of whatever incentives you choose. I don't think there is a side-effect free incentive.

Having "type MyType int" and defining a bunch of constants isn't a great replacement for enums. Yeah, it "works," but it still lets the developer forget to check for a possible variant, or you could have an underlying int that doesn't correspond to a valid variant.

The addition of enums would move all these runtime checks to compile time.

Disclosure: I work for FusionAuth.

That's an interesting analysis. Appreciate it. Can you talk about other big infra/dev tool markets that have collapsed into those three categories? I tried to think of some (IDEs, version control, security scanners, firewalls, dependency management) and wasn't able to come up with any, but maybe I'm not thinking about this the right way.

What makes FusionAuth unique in my mind is option to self-host (which distinguishes it from the BigCloud providers and is useful in a surprising number of use cases when you are talking about PII, control, and migration paths) and the support, polish and documentation (which distinguishes it from your typical free option, which is great if you want to run and support the software yourself).
Only if your source of electric doesn't add CO2. If you burn coal to make propane you are worse off CO2 wise than using regular propane. We have a lot of wind and solar, but most places they are still a minor part of the electric mix (if this applies to you, it wouldn't be hard to get a lot more wind/solar in your grid).

Bad KPIs: Why Does Misuse Happen and How Avoid It
I don't speak Japanese, but you are talking about fixed order, allowing deviations. Russian language doesn't have this kind of deviations because of there is no order at all. If you take any Russian sentence (better not to take a too long one) and mix words in random sequence, the sentence became mostly the same but with other words nuanced.

Roughly example of conception of "other word nuanced" from Russian:

1. explosion happened - I waited for the explosion and it happened.

2. happened explosion - I waited for arriving of my girlfriend but what arrived first is the explosion.
