Seems plausible to me, assuming that my situation on 23andMe is about average when it comes to the number of DNA relatives and the vulnerability of my relatives to being hacked.

A quick search says 23andMe has 14 million customers, so 14000 accounts breached would be 1 in 1000 accounts breached.

The DNA relatives listing for me lists just over 1500 people. If each of those accounts had a 1/1000 probability of being hacked, the probability none of my relatives were hacked would be (1-1/1000)^1500 = 0.223. The probability that at least one of my relatives was hacked would then be 0.777.

I'd then expect, based on my assumption that I'm typical, about 10.8 million people to have had relatives with hacked accounts, which is close enough to 6.9 million that the latter seems plausible.
That lasted like 3 months.

> What’s clear, though, is the influence the crash had on the arc of the Watergate scandal. It was a crucial turning point. Howard Hunt, worried his children would be orphans if he spent years in prison, asked his lawyer to meet with Colson and request a pardon from Nixon after a year of incarceration if Hunt would plead guilty and avoid trial.

> Colson spoke with Nixon, as recorded in White House tapes. Nixon agreed to the clemency proposal.

> Four other Watergate defendants, Cuban Americans from Miami whom Howard Hunt had brought to the burglary operation, took this as a cue that they’d be pardoned, too, and also pleaded guilty.
It is mass surveillance. It's just not being looked at by anyone until you are targeted by the government. If you are targeted, your entire life is within keystrokes of the authorities. This is the same thing the article is saying.

The article is making the point that it's not feasible to spy on every person to monitor them for wrongdoing currently. It doesn't scale and it's not cost effective. With AI that will change because it can be automated. The AI can listen to voice, monitor video cameras, and read text to discern a level of intent.
This brought to mind the AARD "crash" which Microsoft used to basically destroy competition from DR-DOS back in the day.

> The AARD code was a segment of code in a beta release of Microsoft Windows 3.1 that would determine whether Windows was running on MS-DOS or PC DOS, rather than a competing workalike such as DR-DOS, and would result in a cryptic error message in the latter case. This XOR-encrypted, self-modifying, and deliberately obfuscated machine code used a variety of undocumented DOS structures and functions to perform its work.

It's the same censorship-model as with mail servers: You can use a big shared hoster and the rules of that hosts country and their policies apply. You can run your own and you will have to deal with any local legal requirements and get to set (but also have to enforce) your own policies. In reality, (self-)censorship is the smallest of your problems, spam and abuse of your service is what you'll be mostly dealing with.

For a small instance with only a handful of friend and family accounts that effort (spam, abuse, legal stuff) will take less than 1h per month. On a large instance that can become a full persons job.

> Do you want an EV future or not?

Not at the cost of the European car industry.

Why would tariffs affect EV prices disproportionately more than that of ICE cars?

> US: build local factories in low wage areas to build affordable cars, and still undercut the local competition.

Which is IMHO probably thr best outcome. You’d have actual competition driving prices down but Chinese manufacturers wouldn’t have unfair advantages like when they are allowed to import cars from China.

Also US has much higher tariffs than thE EU. So I don’t think they are necessarily hurting electrification that much.

The reason the behavior doesn't cause problems is because everybody treats automatic aggregation as a voodoo where they know one recipe that works and anything different is domain of the Devil.

And, IMO, that's a very sane and reasonable way to treat it. The entire idea of automatic aggregation is flawed, and those queries should just have a `group by ()` explicit at the right place.

Paradox of rotating means that any number of rotation you get needs to be incremented. If the coin A is 3 times bigger then the coin B then the result is going to be 3+1=4 rotations. If the coin A is exactly as the coin B then the result is going to be 2. Finding 2 identical coins is easy and it is obvious that the result is not 1 except some special PoVs.

The problem with a damper-based zoning system (which this is) is that the system needs to be fairly carefully designed to work well, that there are lots of moving parts, and that failures are common and suck. By the time you’re designing a system to work well with zoned dampers, you might as well use wires. The actuators take non-negligible power when moving, too.

I suppose one might be able to retrofit something with wireless controls, but this is IMO a terrible idea for new construction.

(Also… ductless systems are inherently zoned and are usually considerably more efficient.)

Exactly, and I tend to agree with him. I argued some time ago here that a paper should take some time to try to explain why its results are happening, at least from a reasonable hypothesis (people didn't seem to agree). An experiment (even a simple one) starts from a null hypothesis and tries to disprove it. However, most of what we see coming out of "scientific" papers is basically just engineering, I guess?: we put all of these things together in some way (out of pure guess and/or preference bias) and these results happened. We don't know why, good luck figuring it out. Here is one example where it works (don't ask where it doesn't; we intentionally kept those out).

And while I obviously value very much the engineering advances we have seen, the science is still lacking, because not enough people are trying to understand why these things are happening. Although engineering advances are important and valuable, I don't understand exactly why people try so hard to call themselves scientists if they are basically skipping the scientific process entirely.

Some of them have default ARIA settings which I can understand, but others (like <mark>) don't seem to come with any.

I wish someone made a list of the practical effects of using this markup. The spec is ridiculously vague about all of it to the point of being unreliable. For example, iirc <aside> gets a landmark that should only be a top landmark (like a sidebar), but the spec seems to hint you could use <aside> in the middle of a paragraph. Why would I do that when if it broke accessibility?

I also think it sucks that semantic HTML has become de facto a poorly documented accessibility API...

Betting it’s a module for EnOcean in that, they’ve been doing energy harvesting switches for over twenty years now.

To be fair, I'm pretty sure they tell you that upfront, alongside warning you not to send any personal information in conversations.

This going to save maybe 10-15’ of 14/2 NM cable per light switch. Maybe 20-30’ of 14/3 if it’s a multi-way switch.

14/2 is about $0.45/ft and 14/3 is about $0.75/ft. A single pole switch is about $2.50-5.00.

This will cost more, assuming the wireless switch costs more than $15.
One practical solution is to make certain clauses unenforceable in end user license agreements and all non-negotiated contracts.

For starters clauses allowing the vendor to upload any user specific data (anonymized or not) and prohibitions against specific uses of the software would be unenforceable.

If you fell into a timewarp and somehow woke up in the first century BC you'd be more than horrified. The Celtic war chief Brennus had tried (and failed) to wipe out the Greeks a hundred or so years before. He had managed to capture and decapitate the Macedonian king. Greek women and children were embedding themselves in with infantry units so they could die on the battle field versus being taken captive by Celts...People did terrible horrific things to each other in the name of land and money and slaves and you can see some of that same mentality with tribal politics in 2023.

Its still a good place to build your career and connections. Im older now and am remote (go onsite in SF 4 weeks a year), but regret not doing it when i was younger. It still has a lot of tech folks, a lot of tech money, networking opportunities, and tons of vibrant pockets. It's definitely grimy. But i walk to work and back each day Im here and see hundreds of others doing the same. There are literally always groups of workers or friends at bars and restaurants as i walk around in the evening. You can tell the city is partially hollowed out but it feels quite a long way from dead to me.

I have kids now, and affordance aside the family opportunities here are sparse. So for me the time has passed. But I think anyone building their career in tech should at least consider a temporary stint in SF, or perhaps somewhere similarly tech dense (NY? Seattle?).

> easier to follow "norms" when they don't involve blowing a lot of money on foreign wars

Ironic complaint on a Rome thread :).

Conquest is the history of civilisation. It took the Industrial Revolution to make the “war a lot more destructive (thus lowering returns to successful warfare) while at the same time massively raising returns to capital investment in things like infrastructure, factories and tractors. It suddenly made more sense, if you coveted your neighbors resources, to build more factories and buy those resources than to try to seize them by force” [1]. Instead, “states no longer ask if they can profit through a war of conquest, but rather if they’d spend less managing the disaster that a local failed state is by invading versus trying to manage the problem via aid or controlling refugee flows.” To the extent we engage in foreign wars, it’s in that failed-state management mode. (Iraq, what would have been the geopolitical blunder of the century were it not for Ukraine and Brexit, is the notable exception.)

> lion's share of real growth from the last 30 years seems to have been in Asia
