> hat’s illegal in many places such as the EU or states with two-party consent laws

you accepted the tos, you've been informed, that's not unlawful if you gave your consent and the data is kept in the EU.

Moreover, the article is claiming that the manufacturer can "maybe even sell" the recordings but the official statement is that they are only collecting the data, not selling it (it would be stupid to claim otherwise).

The blog post specifically use the sentence and maybe even sell, because it is not stated anywhere.

> and it’s unlikely that courts would accept it elsewhere without some kind of informed consent.

meanwhile the advertisers already used your data, and there's nothing you could do about it.

Except not using Uber (that's why I never used one, even though cabs in my Country and especially in my city, are a big "mafia style" mob)
There must be more to it (even if just he is 'anti-wireless' despite what he writes) - the points in the article would be trivially addressed by a cable fallback option.

Less trivially by using Bluetooth (so standard and built in to many computers, esp. laptops) and AAs (so the optionally rechargeable batteries or also standard and purchasable from 'anyone').

Not that I'm bothered, the keyboard is probably the last thing on my desk besides my monitor that I'd try to ditch the cable from. On the whole I think I prefer them to faffing with Bluetooth, and easier to KVM. (For stuff that's on my desk I mean - I have AirPod-like earphones from Anker (about ⅒ price for no discernible disadvantage) that I wouldn't go back from, and used a Bluetooth receiver with 3.5mm jack before that, in particular to decouple my ears from my legs while cycling.)
An entity that has power over you "asking" you to do anything is inherently coercive.
I know you're doing a lot of great work, I'm following Julia rather closely. It's just that as of now, it's not easy enough to grasp to make quick tests at work (I'd have some use there, but I have to be on schedule with the projects).

I've used a bit for various pet projects (mainly some graph search and JuMP stuff) and it was convincing. But now I can see Fortran perform in real production code (where it shines, at the cost of being so antiquated that it's not funny anymore) and my expectations for Julia are now higher.

I'll give it another try 'cos you spend some time answering my question :-) (and because the charts in the 2nd provided link are just really convincing)
Specifically, because your tone and comments are obviously inflammatory.

- You repeatedly submit articles on the same topic, often with titles edited to be less clear

- You comment on your own submissions constantly, using yourself as an anchor for outrage

- You're using obviously inflammatory topics (politics, racism, murder) to drive discussion, instead of on-topic submissions.

None of it is the behavior people on this site tend to upvote. It's... rather obsessive.

It’s especially easy to imagine happening implicitly: feed everything into an ML system and if it tags it with something like “(sex noises)” or “(moaning)” (which Hollywood subtitles and other things in someone’s training data probably have) that’s searchable without anyone explicitly setting out to build a system.
And reading it is like going back in time. I came across an email archive from 20 years ago. Going through it had me wondering what the hell I was thinking back then...

By this logic, a forum for cooking that doesn’t permit discussion of biking is “limiting expression”. As is a restaurant that doesn’t let me stand up and start singing in their dining room.

Being a private entity that allows users to express themselves isn’t a restriction on the types of expression you don’t allow. The default is that Instagram doesn’t exist, not that it exists and must all anything you want it to.

I’m reading it a bit differently. Yes the censorship of political speech related to political figures is bad but we’re coming out of a period where much more fundamental rights were violated due to a slightly stronger than usual respiratory virus. The seriousness of the covid reaction is an order of magnitude greater than any alleged biden corruption. Until people are ready to reevaluate what happened, we’re still in danger of a return of extreme restrictions - since there are plenty of other things that have high death rates such as cars, drugs, and obesity.
Just my 2 cents/anecdata in response to your tweet about what library authors have to put up with, hoping it helps some of the doomers replying:

> Build artifact formats (ESM, CJS, UMD)

I don't know anyone that ever used AMD/UMD. CJS is loadable in ESM, and tsup makes the two of them trivial.

> > Matrixed with: dev/prod/NODE_ENV builds

Not every library has this issue.

> Bundled or individual .js per source

Not a new issue, this has always been a toss up (I prefer .js per source)

> exports setup

Yup this is a pain, especially because I prefer multiple .js files, and I wish tsup would help here.

> Webpack 4 limits

I'm not sure what you mean by webpack not understanding optional chaining syntax, we use webpack 4 and use it all the time. Might be a benefit of using typescript.

And tsup helps with the .js requirement issue.

> TS moduleResolution options

Again it looks like tsup solves this.

> User environments

When is that ever not an issue? Very fair for maintainers to say "nope, sorry, that's too esoteric an environment"

> TS typedef output (bundled? individual? .d.ts, or .d.mts?)

Should match your .js file output 1:1 (.cjs/.mjs et al)

---

All that to say, if you use typescript and don't do anything fancy, you've got a pretty compatible library with just `tsc`

And if you're looking to do something cross compatible, tsup will help a lot.
You say this like you're a big realist, but it's the opposite.

Like, let's say we're in a world in which everybody is just a hard-edged economic realist and no sentiment or loyalty ever gets involved in anywhere. That's the world where you don't want to piss off your employer.

It's the world where employees are super valuable and coddled where all this, "well, I'm just showing them what it feels like to be me" is a viable tactic. That's the world where they care about your reciprocity arguments.

The point of building a good professional reputation is not for the benefit of employers everywhere. It's for you. To the exact extent that you think that employers are faceless soulless monoliths that don't give a shit about you is the extent to which you should stack the deck most in your favor for getting hired. If reference calls are going to be like, "Hey, I think that Bob has a really good heart and a ton of potential," then okay, maybe your minor indiscretions are NBD. To the extent that reference calls are, "I would not hire Bob again," that's when you really want them to say, "I would happily hire Bob again."

Can’t say I agree. Headset wires are the. worst. wires. Always getting tangled, etc.

As a hard of hearing person, I need the absolute best, fastest audio I can get. After way more research than it should have taken, I ended up with the SteelSeries Arctis Pro Wireless and have been quite happy with it.

Not cheap, but for something in my critical path for literally every minute of my work, totally worth it.
Same here. My magic keyboard sometimes disconnects from my Mac for mysterious reasons, despite the battery being almost full. And then the idea of needing to periodically charge a stationary object which is never used without another device which gets electricity through a wire is ridiculous.
Batteries require special effort to recycle, also a chore to replace them every now and then. It just generates waste for no reason.

I know my contribution is negligible, but I still feel better not buying things that work on batteries, when possible. Quite frustratingly, this turns out to be quite hard / very limited in choice of design options. Here are some things that appeared quite hard to find w/o batteries:

* Alarm clock.

* Cooking thermometer.

* Cooking scales.

Eventually, I did find those, but I had to hunt them down, weeding through countless alternatives with batteries.

Things like angle grinder and impact driver also gave me some headache. Oh, and there's also pulseox and sphygmomanometer. You can sort of see how a version that works on batteries would be useful... but for a lot of people there's no need for the battery-powered version. But those become increasingly hard to find.

Both genders let themselves get lulled into "I still have time, nowadays it's different" WAY too much. They're not just completely ignoring the normal decline of fertility ratios with age just because they see some other people getting their first children in their 30s or even 40s. They're also ignoring fertility ratios declining even stronger due to environmental factors.

Just because so many people are successfully postponing children doesn't mean it gets any easier after the age of 30 or your children are going to be as healthy as others. Statistically the probability of chromosome defects roughly increases by one factor for every year parents are older than 25. ~7 times higher at 35, 15 times at 40.

If you are generally open to having children, the best time is in your mid-20s. You still have much more options, support and energy and your children will be healthier. By the time you're out of the education system and your career takes off, your children are already in school and mostly taken care of. That also makes you much more attractive to employers. Nobody likes a 30-something who's been a reliable employee for the last years and might even be up for a promotion to a higher role, but now suddenly has kids and will be tired and unreliable for the next ten years.
The whole company's ability to fix current and future issues has been called into question as well: https://soatok.blog/2023/01/21/how-you-respond-to-security-r...
Quite honestly, I'd imagine getting LLMs to generate regex solutions seems most feasible. Regex can basically run through a character vector full of millions in impressive time. Plugging all of them into an LLM and awaiting a response taking 20 seconds each might be impractical for most use cases. However, asking an LLM to pack the regex statement full of synonyms and | operators just might seem a better solution. Especially if you can give the LLM some samples of what you're looking for.
Fascinating post thank you
Do the manufacturers have seperate aggrements for corporate/government fleet vehicles? Lots of confidential information would otherwise be recorded, like business deals and patient information.
You don't have to manually sync, the phone app has a Dropbox/SyncThing/whatever integration so everything's synced automatically. On desktop, it's a file that you sync via Dropbox/SyncThing/whatever. Harder than a third party app, but if you're comfortable syncing files, then you can very comfortably use an offline password manager (I have for 10 years on my phone and the UX is basically the exact same as using my work appointed password manager).
Taxes and fines are entirely within the realm of legal consequences I was referring to.

You can post it on YouTube but you need to anonymize the footage. No plates and any identifying information which can be quite tricky. For example if you post a video of a rare car of which maybe 1 person owns one would count as identifiable.

I believe in certain extreme cases some courts in Switzerland did permit such footage in court.
When your car crashes, do you really want it selling the livestream? Because it seems like the agreement would allow that.

If contrarians really wanted to be helpful, they'd not downplay risks inherent in the utter lack of basic privacy legislation in the US and pretend this is all fine and normal. But instead they shill for car manufacturers, pretend adtech is harmless and try to portray anyone who has a problem with these things as weirdos.
The problem you’re ignoring is that there is not a 1:1 correlation between citizenship and people who agree to the social contract.

Everyone who gives up freedom to the state is entering into a social contract with that state, citizenship or no. Once those people enter into that contract, they deserve all of the rights and services the contract provides.

By tying the contract to citizenship, you provide a way for racists and nationalists to steal from the people arbitrarily determined to be noncitizens, usually along racial lines.

One aspect of Amazon culture I’ve enjoyed is that meetings are document driven, and PPTs are rare, even non existent. Meetings start with dedicated reading time. It feels like PPT engendered this false sense of communication by making it easier to bullet-ize and visualize. PPT in practice lowers the critical thinking required of presenters and presentees.

I'm not accusing you of being anything. I'm just saying that if your company is hiring visa holders at a rate below market, then they are committing a crime.

Don't make me laugh. Do you really believe that anyone going through several years of dealing with the USCIS knows nothing about visa processes?
I have an Apple keyboard, which is wireless. Whenever I connect to a Zoom call, which is to say four or five times a day, the keyboard stops working until I reconnect it to a cable. "Stops working" is a euphemism for "freaks the fuck out and starts pressing keys randomly". I can then disconnect it from the cable again and it'll work, but slowly I've been trained to just keep the stupid thing plugged in all the time. Even under ideal circumstances—hardware made to work with well supported software running on an OS made by the keyboard OEM—Wireless keyboards are not a solved problem in 2023, it seems.
The operators, as corporate entities (that only exist at the government's permission in the first place) rather than human beings, do not have all the same freedoms. Their behavior can be coerced or restricted in many different ways.
I don't mind H1B visas but I do worry about the amount of power it gives the employer over the workers who are under it. It just seems ripe for abuse.
I'm trying to establish some basic understanding of our laws here. There are no absolutes, lines have to be drawn somewhere. And in the case of encouraging people to spread diseases to kill other people, seems obvious a line should be drawn. IMO it's as serious as any of the things I mentioned.
Wired keyboards are generally fine. But I generally prefer wireless mice because the wire sometimes gets in the way as I move it around.

As for the battery level, I just plug my mouse in when the LED is red. And plug it out when I have enough charge and the wire becomes annoying. I can use it while charging, like a regular wired mouse, so no big deal.
You are correct.

The users of the roads -- drivers -- are the ones who should decide what the speed limits are. The current system is a type of tyranny because the users are subject to rules without input nor representation.

People seem to have a distorted view on what freedom means.

If the majority of users say the speed limit is 80mph, then that is the just speed limit. Localities which decide -- for what ever reason -- that they know better have the seeds of tyranny inside them. History is filled with people who "knew better" for the populace.

We have the technology to measure in realtime what the mass consensus for things like speed limits are. This type of voting is implicit, automated, and accurately captures the will of the people without friction. Right now, this technology has been hijacked by creepy advertising vermin to sell us things we don't need. I think that a time is coming soon when it is reclaimed and put to proper use.

> Your original request was: “If you've seen an exploit caused by a big pre-allocated array of untrusted RGBA data, please explain how.”

I asked that in a context of whether you can contain vulnerabilities in a sandbox. If something doesn't even require a vulnerability, then it doesn't fit.

Also please note the words "caused by". A few helper bytes sitting somewhere are not the cause.

> Which is exactly how exploit chains work.

> A single vulnerability usually doesn’t achieve something dangerous on its own. But remove it from the chain and you lose your exploit.

Being part of an exploit chain doesn't by itself make something qualify as a vulnerability. (Consider arbitrary gadgets already in the program. You can't remove all bytes.) And I've never seen "you can send it bytes" described as a vulnerability before. Not even if you know the bytes will be stored at the start of a page!

No, I'm okay with people eating eggs, chicken, fish, and any other animal-based food.

Almost the entirety of the American healthcare costs are due to people eating ultra-processed food, which are rooted in grains and seed oils and sugar.

Just cut out every plant-based calorie from your diet and THRIVE.

Vegetables are not as bad as sugar, grain, and seed oils, but they're just full of fiber and anti-nutrients, so they're not beneficial to human health. Red meat also has more vitamins and micro-nutrients that vegetables, whose vitamins are in any case often not bioavailable.

It is honestly almost impossible to put the beneficial effects of the carnivore diet into words -- it would sound miraculous.

Just try it and see for yourself. (And note that it is the diet we evolved on).

Your real time location data (and everything else) from phone apps is sold on a semi-open marketplace to bill collectors, marketers, spies and PI's.
If there's insufficient power after a disaster for all homes to be heated, you have to make a decision about where the power goes somehow. If you just let everyone demand all the normal amount of power, you're going to have to completely turn off a bunch of customers and the decision is going to be pretty arbitrary.

Obviously regulators should make sure these are very, very rare events (by requiring sufficient overprovisioning and redundancy vs. failure scenarios).

There are all kinds of market outcomes in a situation like this that we might not like (and might take actions to fix to some extent). But without a market and price mechanisms involved in allocating the scarce resource, you're going to get worse outcomes.

I just don't know why they don't pack up and move their HQ's to India. Why bring them all here when they could go over there and pay pennies on the dollar. You could acquire a slave there for less then a SBUX coffee a day. American graduates can go fuck themselves when it comes to these companies, they don't want them.
You keep getting stuck in the bureaucracy, presuming it results in just outcomes. It doesn’t.

If the concept of citizenship was simply an agreement to the social contract, open to all, you could start to favor those who’ve agreed over those who haven’t, though even then you can’t say from a moral perspective the lives of those who’ve agreed are superior.

However you seem overly attached to the concept of soil and citizenship, both of which can be manipulated by bigots to hurt the people they’re hateful towards. This is why “Americans” can’t be considered first; what even qualifies is set based on a wildly racist past, riddled with hateful people making nationalistic laws that remain in effect today.
