Car dealership customers are always worried about their data. And rightfully so.

The typical car salesman has 15 credit applications in his desk, 5 in his car in some folders he forgot about, 1 in the trash can he accidentally crinkled up instead of putting in the shred box. The managers office is even worse. The finance guys office is even worse. The 'business office' is half decent because the GM/owner is up there often.

On a side note, my friend subleased an office from a medical nurse temp agency/employment agency.

When he arrived (I helped him move in), there were thousands of unsecured files with people's socials and all info needed to get a job in file cabinets.

The office had cleaning service every night from a random cleaning company.
What’s wrong with HARO? Some time ago I signed up. It ruined gmail search results for me. Any word I search, is flooded with HARO emails that don’t even have the search term in them. I don’t get it. Are they doing the hidden white text thing?
Fully agree. I mentioned in my original post I believe them to be very capable on a battlefield. But from there to slaughterbots like targeter drones there is a looong way. I believe my points still remain valid.

You don't want operation to stop because someone dropped something in the floor, bumped into the rack or if a minor earthquake occurred.

Resin is common, but attackers have gone as far as decapping and done wire bonding on FIB workstations to get past tamper resistance - a solic block of epoxy is only a minor inconvenience.

Most of the other things are simple to circumvent for someone already in the business of tampering with operational HSMs (pressurized work area, dark work area with particular wavelength light that doesn't trigger thubgsu, etc.), and without any direct compounding effect they end up not really being relevant outside padding a sales deck.

The rotation is interesting because there so far is no practical solution. You would either need some seriously wacky robotry or find a way to externally glitch the device to not detect the change.
Unmanned warfare should be a war crime. The concept of one-sided loss of life, and the resulting reduction in public resistance to war is going to make for a fresh hell.
I live in Colorado. I regularly drive in places that have traction laws that require you to have all wheel drive and/or snow tires (I also install snow tires in the winter, regardless) and this comes into effect sometimes in situations where I don't yet have snow tires fitted, and it's also just generally an all around good idea here.
Don't dual boot, it's not worth it. Just use Windows VM and GPU passtrough, honestly recent Ryzen CPUs are so fast you are not loosing much performance running games in VM (just buy faster RAM).
An areal photo that's orthrorectified with ground images as a secondary source would provide better normals. Of course we'd also use differential GNSS base-point targets to stitch the images together. It's difficult to get consistent color temps, exposure, etc with multiple ground images shot at various times throughout the day.

After reading the FCC's statement this is clearly about elected officials and regulators wanting cover from corporations for the taxes and fees they levy. The corporations want to point out what goes into their costs on the bill, but it is impractical to advertise on price when each viewer of a TV ad may have a slightly different cost because of their location.

Either way, consumers are paying for it. The two parties are just arguing over how it is presented to the public. We will probably end up with even less transparency in advertising with tactics like: "plans as low as $X" or the like.
i'm out of the loop on this one. i did a good deal of HPC -- specifically electromagnetics simulation -- about a year ago and Spir-V worked OOTB for GPGPU on AMD processors. hell, i wrote my kernels in _Rust_ and they compiled and ran just fine (Embark Studio's `rust-gpu` shim), which is about as edge-casey as i can imagine.

I don't agree that an incremental human is a big benefit for The Economy. In a steady state it should be mostly neutral in terms of the per capita GDP (of course there are non-linearities with things like scientific discoveries scaling to all of humanity). Even considering taxes an incremental average human should have no impact on the total welfare of society. In a changing demographic pyramid (inverting) I can agree to your point though because the child will be forced to pay an even higher amount towards the wealth distribution towards the care of (child-less) older people.

I think the incentives could be fixed in a simple (not easy) way, by not letting childless people benefit from the safety net spanned by children of other people.

Because health privacy is not ALWAYS HIPAA. In fact, it's almost never HIPAA... except for the fact that some Karen's learned the term HIPAA and now they think it's always HIPAA [1].

Unless it's digital health record-related, then it's probably HIPAA.

If you're really curious, you can read HIPAA [2] and HITECH [3]. Combined, they are about 600 pages of dense dense legalese.

The US has a long tradition of separating taxes from sale prices. Every fast food joint lists a price w/o sales tax. You don't pay sales tax to the state individually. The state is taxing the businesses' sales, but the cost is passed on to you. Why should ISPs not be able to do the same thing Del Taco does?

In my area we have small shopping districts that have their infrastructure funded through a 1.7% sales tax on every retail business. Best Buy doesn't change the price of the iPhone 14 to reflect this. Should they? I don't know. Instead taped to the surface of every checkout is a typed note informing the customer of the improvement fund. I think a good compromise would be to allow advertising to remain how it is, but require a full detailed bill at the point of sale.
I _love_ to see projects like this.

I was working on a similar problem this weekend, but with whole words instead of abbreviations I had made in a dictionary, and in the general case, fine-tuned on any given corpus of text.

I wanted to know: could I write an autocorrect that is "fine-tuned" on a given corpus of text? Use case: I write a lot of docs with long phrases (i.e. "data augmentation"). Could I automate them?

I arrived at:

1. Calculate "surprisal" of unigrams and bigrams (entropy) from a general dataset (an NYT corpus), give a boost to words in the "fine-tuned" index;
2. Create a trie data structure that is weighed by surprisals. The more surprising a word, the more weight it gets.
3. Use that as advanced autocomplete.

I got a working solution here: https://github.com/capjamesg/autowrite/blob/main/autocomplet...

Skimmed the article, grepped for 'hash', didn't find it.

> they are stored in AWS S3

Not sure why anyone would feel the need to couple this sort of thing to S3. Just store file hashes in the database, and have a blobstore mapping hashes to content. I like bitprint URNs for this purpose[1] but any strong cryptographic hash function will do. Then you can use any old datastore you want, be it a plain old filesystem, S3, a Git repo, or something else. It's trivial to bolt on alternate backends because you can always guarantee that what you asked for is what you got. If not, try the next one.

You can't agree to OHSA violations, or to a sub-minimum wage. A hospital conditioning treatment on a HIPAA waiver having been signed will quickly find itself the subject of regulatory scrutiny.

I went to war with a doctors' office that claimed their non-compete clause meant I couldn't transfer my medical records to a doctor who'd left the practice I wanted to follow.
Going on a tangent here but why s3? Why not avoid vendor lock in and just serve static files?

My setup is to post blobs over a small rest api which balances storage load over all the file servers using nginx. It responds with the serverSubdomainId which in turn gets saved in the database. So the url for file access can be generated https://{serverSubdomainId}.domain.tld/{resourceId}
The only costly part is writing which with caching of available storage of all the servers isn’t bad. The whole system is horizontally and vertically scalable.
What am I missing that s3 is still the defacto even with vendor lock in and high egress costs?
Not so much money, of whcih there is usually very little (exception: stuff that ends up being found to cause cancer) after the lawyers take their giant cut (which is totally fair - these cases are taken on a "you don't get anything, we don't get anything" basis, and the lawyers front all the money for expert witnesses, investigations, etc).

We didn't have a problem with Figma's technology, but we did have problems with their UI. For example, it confused "teams" and "projects," making managing your work and granting access to people a baffling pain in the ass. It took a week of E-mailing people for me to gain the necessary access to my own team's files when we adopted Figma, most likely because of the inept segregation and presentation of these entities.

Has there been any UI overhaul since acquisition?

The top comment here is very reasonable, but I still think the application of HIPAA has been a giant mess, reflecting a disdain toward patients similar to everything else in the US healthcare system.

I've ranted on here plenty about how often I've dealt with incorrect bills, and HIPAA plays into that as well. My private information can be shared to "traveling doctors", it can be shared with woefully incompetent contractors who handle billing (or, pretend to), and I received a notice last year that my information had been involved in a data breach and I'm not expecting any compensation. When I had to get a very private and sensitive part of my body imaged, they'll gladly announce to the waiting room my name and what procedure I'm there for, even though it's a rather private and sensitive part of my body - very similar to the shared room concern. I don't care that the people in that room aren't likely to misuse my healthcare information, I don't want them knowing where I found a lump anyway.

And yet HIPAA is often cited to me over the phone as the reason why we can't seem to get incorrect bills figured out for my dependents. It doesn't seem to me that HIPAA actually does much to protect my privacy, but it sure gets used to obfuscate things when there's a problem.

In the US, lawsuits are one of the primary ways used to compel behavior, especially from corporate institutions.

While your solution has merit, it suffers from tragedy of the commons issues. I cannot compel other customers to stop eating there. I cannot compel other fast food restaurants to act better.

Quality version: McD and Wendy's look at BK, and see BK makes large profits selling junk, look at their own process and say "we waste money on quality we don't need", and then they all race to the bottom.

If the situation is bad, and the market mostly colludes (such as with recent price hikes, where everyone knows everyone else is going to raise prices, so they all do), then all you're left with is: "They all act that way, because they know we have no options." All burgers now cost $5 more. Bloomberg at least refers to this phenomenon as "Excuseflation." [1] Also similar to "Shrinkflation." (Products across all stores slowly become smaller)

At what point does war become unmanned? When each weapon doesn’t have a human hand holding it until it impacts on the target?

The development of “less manned” warfare past the point of mid-20th century industrial warfare seems to have had the opposite effect so far, compared to the status quo ante.
> To me, as a user of such a database, it matters not if some engine stores it as a blob, base64, pointer, or just a URI to an S3 block. What matters is that it's in the same layer of abstraction.

Reasonable precautions. I've been top IT management in healthcare for 8 years, I'm very well versed with this concept.

We don't have to make walls soundproof and doors sealing airlocks.

That being said, I know you're talking about industry. My question is, so are we supposed to just take it? NVidia has to be pushed to do the right thing here, as AMD and Intel have done or are we just slaves to 'too big to fail' and somehow this is a triumph of capitalism?

It's a balance. Individuals want to insulate themselves against businesses charging the wrong amount or even committing fraud.
