OP explicitly agrees with you that the 30k is illegitimate, but that's the only one you address. What's your take on the one where the police became aware that they were being watched on a YouTube livestream while responding to a bomb threat and obtained a court order asking for information about who was viewing a set of local livestreams at the specific times where they were searching for the bomb?

What makes that one different than a court order demanding that a business release security footage that covers the scene of a crime for the time window in which the crime occurred? Or would you consider such a court order to also be illegitimate?
They're talking distances much longer than marathons even.

Colonial companies did this all the time, e.g. the British East India Company, and the 1800s American railroads had the Pinkertons. There's also the phenomenon of the company town.
There's a recent conversation of Lazarus Lake, the designer of these races, with Tyler Cowen [0]. This race is crazy hard.

Inflation was 10% that year. Maybe it was even more in construction / repair costs. Then add incorrect modeling of wildfire risks on top of that.
You might try https://schemaspy.org/ - it generates a website with ER diagrams that only go one or two relationships out, but they have clickable table names to get to the next diagram
The "time it takes for the passengers of a generation ship to start a new civilization and gather the resources to launch another generation ship" is minuscule compared to the time to make the journey in the first place. Here's a Kurzgesagt video that essentially proposes using our solar system itself as our "generation ship" and getting from one star to the next would take on the order of a hundred thousand years, while the time to set up to travel that way seems reasonable to create in tens of thousands, or even thousands, of years.

The trial and error is the worst part.

In traditional languages, you can print iteration by iteration the intermediate result and understand if there is something wrong.

In SQL you sample output, and you keep changing the query until you think you get it right. And then 2 years later someone else finds that the query was wrong all this time.
Why fuzzing over formal verification?
My point is what you might consider a privacy non-issue today might become a privacy issue next year.

Using unencrypted communication you can't put the cat back in the bag if circumstances change.
It's interesting how the distortions are confined to the narrow triangle that is the face. The remainder of the head is undistorted. From my experience with portrait painting I can say that the quality of our responce to this region is many times more acute than any other part of the body.

My vision is very poor, but even with my diminished vision I can tell if a student at the back of a lecture hall is looking at me or over my shoulder.

Not a neurologist, but I’m going to guess that this is because the face is processed by a dedicated perceptual apparatus.
There is a pretty good explanation of this in the documentary movie 'They Live'. Turns out they're just aliens most of us can't see.
> It's possible though that it's not feasible, that the possible inputs leading to a certain timing signature are just too many to get any data out of it.

That's plausible, but a very different argument from the original, that read:

> In contrast, the timing of virtually any email operation is not dependent on the contents of the email, other than the size.
This is really cool, leaves me wondering about the fabric of the universe itself

Could we be living in a infinitely recursive simulation?
DELETE FROM is even worse. Accidentally/mindlessly press cmd+enter before you wrote the WHERE? Poof, data gone. Make it FROM … DELETE!

I also wish we needed to explicitly take locks. In PostgreSQL at least (I think other dialects/engines too), figuring out what operation will take what lock and potentially mean downtime is left as an exercise to the reader. Force me to write WITH EXCLUSIVE TABLE LOCK when I add a non nullable column with a default!

It would be pretty alarming if I could hold a map of the state I’m in and not see my own location anywhere on it!
The Harvard white paper was supportive of MMT while I am not - so it wouldn’t have worked as an appeal to authority for my position.

One of the reasons that MMT gained any traction at all is that many of their tenets are equally wrong to the tenets in neo-Keynesianism. So MMT people are correct when they say if X in neo-Keynesian is true then Y is also true. Which is why they can say they are simply describing what is already the case. But they’re both wrong because X is not true, you can’t presuppose neo-kensianism and expect to end up with a rational and coherent economic model. On that basis and more I really don’t respect practicing economists and wouldn’t use them as an appeal to authority either.

Also my invocation of economists was highlighting their fickleness and incorrect beliefs.

Since MMT is now politically impossible I no longer worry about it becoming a reality. It could have only been done at the same time as a raging speculative asset bubble and before the negative consequences of inflation has been felt by the middle and lower classes. But that’s too late now, Covid killed it. The lower classes blame the government for inflation and even if you don’t agree with them you’d still have to convince them otherwise and we have seen how futile that has been. It might still be possible to get MMT as part of a wartime economy but at that stage I’ll have bigger issues to worry about.
I think generally it's a mobile layout issue. On Firefox for Android, scrolling the page still triggers a click/mouseup/focus event I guess - when you let go of your finger, it toggles the state of the "Note" -> "Pack" section, so it tends to hide itself as you're reading it!

Would just remove that "accordion" functionality completely or make it always expanded on mobile breakpoints or whatever. Or just move that entire "About pack" section to be on the main page "below the fold" as the first thing people are going to want to do is find out *what it is* :)
This is true for most programming languages.
Thank you, did you see on your second link there is a 'rectify my personal data'?

Also, when I hit delete my personal data and hit the captcha, nothing happens.

Garbage company all around.
