> She doesn't have to tell anyone

She doesn't because there is an app on her work machine that gathers all kinds of useful data on usage of such computer. Sooner or later someone will notice and there will be consequences for doing so. There are no trophies for running some unauthorized software on companies data and documents.
I doubt many people cheat stars to get hired, it’s just not a major signal there. But with stars being a signal of traction for open source startups, I definitely think there are some companies out there buying them.

Particularly in crypto where people want to quantify “community” and star count is a crude but very available way to do that.
I don’t think you’re missing out on much at this point.
These "don't be evil" and "do the right thing" must have been taken from the well known buddhist story: "When a disciple approached the buddha, he asked to explain buddhism in one verse; the buddha answered: stop doing evil, start doing good and clean your heart - that's the religion of buddhas."

However google here is that junkie who tattoed buddhists scriptures on his arms, but never bothered to live by them. He did the "don't do evil" tattoo when he was devising a plan to rob a monastery. That was his inner self tried to stop him. When he decided to take hostages, he added "learn to do good". Shortly before he decided to build a torture chamber, his inner self made the final attempt and made him do the "clean your heart" tattoo. Corporations are soulless creatures, and can't tell what's good and what's evil.
The marketplace for autos is still broad enough for me to purchase a car that meets my needs.

I'm honestly not sure but I'm also not sure we have ever seen a nuclear power with its back against the wall to this degree have we? I'm not trying to make people worried it's just something I personally worry about.

Nuclear powers (including Russia and the USSR) have lost wars before so I’m not sure how they are backed against a wall.

They can always just leave.
Yeah, I like to leave my Rolex Rose Gold GMT out on my nightstand when service people are working in the house to detect suspicious activity in my household. :/

Sorry man, I dunno if this is a weird flex or what, but it's kind of ridiculous to leave $15K of bitcoin as a canary for your password manager. Gotta call a spade a spade.
If they all interoped well, then IoT companies would have to compete on quality. A whole market segment would just disappear overnight.
It's actually very easy to see: repeal copyright. It does nothing but impose artificial scarcity to make the landlords rich, at the expense of progress that cannot be made due to licensing restrictions.
I've worked for a large OEM, dealing with a large Japanese megacorp that is not Mazda for about two years (actually Mazda was one of our customers too, but I didn't get to work with them directly). This does not amaze me anymore.

We spent months agonizing over an interior temperature sensor, which was only used to display the information to the user on a smartphone app. We built both the hardware and software, and it was offered as an add-on at the dealerships. After months of negotiations, after the hardware was already built and the packages assembles, they decided temperature sensors were too inaccurate (+/- 5 degrees F) to use, and that it could present a legal liability. Again, this was nothing else but displaying the information on the app - and the user could then make a decision whether to remote start the car to cool it or heat it (no automatic process took place either).

This was at the height of "unintended accelerator" issue in Toyotas, so everyone was walking on egg shells playing it ultra safe to not invite any more lawsuits.

What surprises me is that this culture of "playing it safe" remained to this day, some 10 years later (but maybe it shouldn't).
When I watched that in cinema I couldn't help divert my attention to a family of two adults and two children in the rows ahead of me who left a third the way through. Wonder what they were expecting.
I acknowledged they probably couldn't get the same pay in my post... A social safety net has the same problem. My point was they could retool and have above average skills to lean complex machinery, handle stress, make decisions, ect. I don't think risk of destitution is three major issue.

I agree insurance is probably the best way, but even that doesn't help with the purpose and social status part, which I think are the largest factors. Plus if the insurance covers career advancement losses the incentives become really adverse, if it doesn't there's still massive economic losses.

I think any solution would also need a way to get back in. No need to lose everything because you had a bad time once.
Benzodiazepines actually affect the recall of the Ketamine experience. My clinician stated that taking benzos with Ketamine reduce the effectiveness by a large margin. I can believe this, because taking a benzo completely changes your feelings about anxiety and your self image, which seem to be important in gaining insight from a Ketamine experience. Of course, I am not a scientist or psychotherapist, so this is just what has been repeated to me.

Those are the very specific use case I mentioned.

How many users are gonna swap to a different chat client because of this or a different word processor because it start 1s faster? As a parallel comment points out, even developers swapped away from the very quick Sublime to Atom and now VSCode. At work hiring at some point became a huge pain because we swapped from Greenhouse to the recruiting tools built into Workday. It was super slow. I hated it, our recruiting team hated it, but it was purchased because it checked all the boxes and integrated with all our other stuff in Workday. The comparison to engine efficiency made me think that if we really want faster software, we need the equivalent of a gasoline tax for software, but what's the negative externality we are preventing?
We knew this was coming - there’s no other reason Musk would have pivoted so hard into Republican politics if he wasn’t looking for allies to push back on investigations
Indeed, these are full screens mounted between the glass door and the customer’s eyes. The Walgreens near me had them installed recently and they were generally functional - lit, animated, switched to inventory when I approached - but the inventory data was wrong. I wanted ice cream, one brand/flavor was available, but I opened the door to find it totally empty. Had to open it to know that the “available” ice cream was not actually available.
More succinctly, this is plain dumb. And especially to tell people about it in public.
I think they would be more likely to copy all of the data first, in an effort to avoid detection methods like this, then make their move compromising everything in near parallel. At least that is how I would do it.
Right or wrong, the legal system (in the US and elsewhere) is to be feared and avoided. I've served jury duty several times in the US, and each time it looked like we might be empaneled, the defendant settled with the DA. I've no idea if they were actually guilty of what they were accused of, but in any case they decided that being deemed guilty was less onerous than going through (and paying for counsel in) a jury trial.

related: this approach also gives rise to eager expansion, which is supposed to be completely impossible in stable rust. The caveat is this eager expansion can _only_ work within a proc macro crate, so it is only useful in very specific circumstances.

It's not about monetization - that can be done just fine with this third-party client as it calls the same APIs as the official mobile app (thus if the mobile app requires a paid account for a certain action, so will this).

This is about "engagement". There are a lot of oxygen wasters out there whose careers and paychecks depend on "engagement" metrics aka how much time has been collectively wasted wading through the cesspool that their software is. The annoyance and wasted time is the point, and an alternative client (or other way of automating it) goes against that.

People often talk about "bullshit jobs" around here, but what everyone overlooks (or refuses to acknowledge as it's uncomfortable) are all the bullshit jobs in the tech/software industry who derive their careers out of end-user annoyance and misery.
There's more possibilities than "corrupt, abusive police" and "corrupt, abusive private security". The police, in the US at least, are in clear need of some reform.
> This requires all states and all countries to agree what is and is not safe content

There could be an organization that reviews site content and moderation policies and assigns a rating, issuing a cryptographic signature to the website.

> Enforcement across national borders will be inefficient

The rating will not be assigned to foreign-owned websites. Also, the enforcement is pretty efficient, there are police raids on sites with illegal content, and people get arrested for it.

> Unless a site that hosts user-generated content reviews every single item of content before allowing it to be published, it can't guarantee that all content on its platform is safe.

Then it doesn't get a "safe" rating.

A screen+camera would actually enable insanely good insulation, compared to glass. A 4cm/1.6" PUR sheet weights next to nothing and has a thermal transmittance (aka u-value) of 0.4 W/(m²K). That's about twice as good as modern, triple glazed windows.

Not at the low end of capacity they aren't, and they're also physically bulky and make cases a lot harder. Plus whatever hardware they had to add to do the interfacing costs money.

Their focus is education and industrial controls or signage, I'm not sure why they're so heavy on the ultra high performance stuff lately, there's lots of stuff that money could have been spent on that would be a little more relevant, like onboard battery backup circuitry, USB-C video instead of those horrid micro HDMIs, random cool stuff like LoRa, an onboard Qwiic connector, a physical switch or button and NFC for easy setup, an RGB status LED, an onboard FeRAM chip, etc.

They're not desktop PCs or high performance computing devices, why are we trying to make them do that?

I have been facing this issue for a week, thought it would be interesting to see how a UX-breaking bug for a large fraction of chrome users has been around for a week without resolution.
Eh, I'm not worried about their top speed claims... I'd be far more concerned that you could reach those speeds, and the hospital bills incurred by the inevitable accidents. You're going to have to have a massive amount of safety gear weighing you down (thereby losing speed) to keep you from busting your head open like a rotten cantaloupe moving that fast. Velocity squared is a bastard.

I figure we want a kind of split-level economy:

The primary layer would be basically what this article calls the "Nature layer" and it involves using our science and technology to meet a minimum Standard of Living for everybody in an ecologically harmonious way.

Then on top of that I imagine we would have a kaleidoscope of creativity and production, a cornucopia of art and fashion and food and all the things that make it so epic and wonderful to be a human being.

I think the "Middle layer" will be largely subsumed under automation, to the extent that it's not an art or craft.

What we are seeing with the advent of AI etc. is that the ultimate question is "What is good?" or in other words, "What are People For?"

> Doctors have to comply with additional local public health regulations artificially limiting the number of medical staff.

This is a curious way of describing the lobbying and other efforts that doctor's OWN body, the AMA, aggressively and successfully continues to do to limit physician supply.

That particular call is coming from inside the house. And based on the AMA's history, leadership, and so forth, the majority of physicians are entirely onboard.

Yes that's much better, the original article felt mixed up.

So the culprit seems to have been the session information in the har. It made me wonder a few questions. What were they troubleshooting with Okta that required sending a har over, of their own interaction with Okta. And why are the session lengths so long, wouldn't Okta dogfood and use their own JWTs with limited lifetime?
> Do not tell me how to raise my kids.

The government is already doing it, depending on the country, you can get prosecuted if for example you buy alcohol for children or let them do something dangerous.

Maybe, but this increases possibility for fingerprinting.

Which is ironic for Mazda, because at least like model year 2019 and prior you could literally telnet into the CMU and do all sorts of hacks to it. Whether it was intentional or not, Mazda has enjoyed a bit of a sheen of being kinda hack/maker friendly if you play in that space.

i don't think that is a bad idea . It can be a cheaper one or a replica. The idea is it's a small price to pay when being deceived costs far more
Sounds like a great idea for a service that manages this automatically for users (but using a more reasonable amount of BTC, like 0.01 BTC or ~$300 worth-- it has to be enough to be worth stealing I suppose!). Then it would automatically do the monitoring of that address and send the user the alert that they should change all their passwords when the coins move. If it happens to just that one account, then its likely the user's account was hacked. If it happens to a bunch of accounts at the same time, it's more likely that the password manager service was hacked. Like a canary with a bounty attached to it.

If job interviewing were better, we could move people around until most of us were happy. There is a lot going against you in terms of interviewing and job-hopping perception if you want to move around until you find the right team though.

True. It should also be possible to maintain it outside of the US, where the DMCA doesn't apply. In some European countries Mazda probably wouldn't have a lot of options to take it down.
I have all the usual gripes, but right now the top one is slow and complicated onboarding.

There is no reason for dev environments and permissions to be set up manually. Automate it, test it, use CI/CD to keep it working, and you'll be able to hand new hires their computers and have them hit the road running before lunchtime. Of course you want to do pair programming, or better yet, mob programming at least the first few weeks to get into way of working and team cohesion, there's no technical silver bullet for that.

Also, stop issuing Windows machines or making devs deploy on Windows unless they are explicitly developing for the Windows stack and/or ask for it. Let them choose between Mac and Linux, or if you're resource constrained, just Linux.

> Is cross licensing really a big issue with closed source software?

Sure is. Microsoft works with thousands of vendors every year. There are lots of different terms under which they license software. It would not be that unusual for a game or utility or promotional item to be licensed for a version or so, and nothing after that. Very often these vendors vanish into the ether, and cannot be tracked down for any purpose at all, much less asking them to open source their software. Then, if you tried to ask them to open source, they might mistakenly see dollar signs and try to get money out of Microsoft when none is forthcoming.

Another pitfall: this is easily circumvented by the end user generating a long text and then randomly adding/removing a few words here and there.
