This is what I was referring to. The data this collects is of high sensitivity and value. It will, without question, be targeted aggressively. It needs to be handled accordingly.

While I think that this service is dangerous and misguided and shouldn't be used by most people, I would hope that Microsoft would at least be a whole lot more careful about protecting those who do.

About being encrypted, here are quotes from Microsoft docs (https://support.microsoft.com/en-au/windows/privacy-and-cont...):

> Recall processes your content locally on the Copilot+ PC and securely stores it on your device

While it doesn't use the word "encrypted" here, "stores securely" certainly implies that.

> Snapshots are encrypted by Device Encryption or BitLocker, which are enabled by default on Windows 11.

Here is where they say encrypted. They also say it's just from BitLocker, which means it's not really encrypted in the sense that security-minded people would assume (encrypted separately from the whole-disk encryption). I also think most laypeople won't really understand what this means.

You can always find a lawyer willing to take the case, as long as you're paying money and not on contingency.

Even if you make the recording or publishing illegal the cops aren't really going to do anything for such a low level offense, especially with such high volumes.

This doesn't really matter on which world-wide stock exchange companies end up listing. There are many companies which list on the NASDAQ rather than in their home exchanges, or on a more theme appropriate exchange rather than one closer to their actual area of operations (I'm thinking mineral exploration companies on the ASX).

I'm a former Skydio[1] employee and our motion-planning & state-estimation teams implemented this on all our drones years ago. It wasn't completely fool-proof, but in many non-high-speed scenarios a loss of a motor was not catastrophic and the drone could 'emergency land' within a few meters of where it was flying.

The question is if time has run its due for these rules.

Loosing rules is a way to figure out is a new rule set is more appropriate.
The last fifteen years we've been watching crypto start from scratch and gradually rediscover the exact reason for every single securities regulation and finance convention. So idk maybe we were on to something the first time around.
> This zero percent freedom play. It’s entirely wanting to avoid the rules against naked shorting, the newly about to be enforced consolidated audit trail system (CAT). And all the other “it’s crime” ways they cheat the retail investor.

This is a bad take. The short selling rules are SEC made and country's wide regardless of exchange. Nothing about this exchange can do away with SEC rules.

This is an exchange created by a bunch of hedge funds/market makers(side note these companies are so big they don't fit one definition as they do everything).

These companies make more money as more trades happen so adding another exchange to trade on makes them more money.

It also allows them to break into the exchange market, previously they had ATS's(dark pools as some people know them as) but no lit exchanges.

Now they have an actual listing exchange so that provides them another way to make money via corporate fees for listing and the exchange portion of trading fees.
I mean how many times have we seen people leak military information on world of tanks (or whatever). These people know they'll get court martialed and still do it anyway.

Systemic failure is guaranteed.
> There’s also part of, good designs don’t depend on high precision components. I think TAoE emphasized that.

If I call correctly, TAoE said engineering calculations should never keep too many significant digits, since no real-world components are that accurate, and all good designs should keep component tolerance in mind - they should not have an unrealistic expectation of precision. It also mentioned that designing a circuit for absolute worst-case tolerance is often a waste of time.

But I don't think TAoE told you to "avoid precision components in your design, use trimmers instead" (Do you have a page number?) when the application calls for it. For example, 0.1% feedback resistors in precision voltage references are often reasonable.

> For high precision one can use trim potentiometers

From what I've read (from other sources), mechanical trimmer used to be extremely popular, but they went out of favor in recent decades because tuning could not be automated and that increased assembly cost. Using a 0.1% resistor is favorable if it allows trim-free production.

> or maybe even digital potentiometer with an ADC at the other side to measure and get as close as possible

Yes, digital trimming and calibrations is today's go-to solution.

I do think the economy is different. You've always been able to just hire a bunch of thugs to stage an event to shape the narrative, like old-school cold war style. That takes money and effort and a modicum of skill and the risk of being caught with your pants down is not negligible.

Difference today is you can stoke the flames of public outrage with just a few people, without even setting foot in the country, while maintaining a lot of plausible deniability, since the modern playbook relies heavily on uncertainty and confusion, meaning you can safely target allies without significant risk of being caught (even if you're caught, you can deny it and say it's hostile propaganda).

I'd be tempted to apply Hanlon's Razor and assume stupidity rather than malice, but yeah, this has gone on too long to apply that rule.

There is a saying that "regulations are written in blood". That's not a good way to write regulations. They end up being haphazard, both too strong and not strong enough. People rightly get frustrated at the patchwork. It's tempting to apply the experience and create a new, better set of regulations from a clean sheet.

But unfortunately, the loudest voices are usually the ones who are well aware of the price already paid in blood, and want to be the ones to get another dose of it. They will design the rules so that it's not their blood, but will take advantage of the blood of others until it gets banned all over again. The hard way, again.

Sure, I guess I'm asking which rules the Texas Stock Exchange will be removing, and why those rules have downsides.

Entirely possible that I'll agree with the changes, though what I'm more worried about is it becoming some vague "culture war" bullshit about wokeness or something, as seems to be the only talking point being brought up in traditionally-conservative states now.
I sometimes wish there were Talmudic-like annotated regulations that discourse upon the history and context of each regulation, down to the precise punctuation mark, word, line when those granularities have meaning, so we don't have to hold these "what was the reason" conversations in public, and have more meaningful conversations over "with hindsight, was the original reason justified" to add to those annotations.
>> It's not like your entire maps history will be stored on the device exclusively.

>Isn’t that what “more private and works on each device independently” implies?

Probably, but I don't think it should be taken to mean that location data stays on the device. Surely, Google will continue to use location data for ad targeting. Location is also used in countless other places such as Photos.

The Google Maps timeline is a specific database and this particular database will be stored on-device. I don't think it changes anything for how Google uses location data more generally.
So, less regulations? More Texas wanting less protections, anything goes for business?

Yes, although (and here my understanding of Kolmogorov complexity ends) it still depends heavily on the choice of language and it seems to me like "aaaaaaaaa" is only less complex than "pSE+4z*K58" due to assuming a sane, human-centric language which is very different from the "average" of all possible languages. Which then leads me to wonder how to construct an adversarial turing-complete language which has unintuitive Kolmogorov complexities.

In many states its legal for people 16-18 to work, usually with limitations on hours worked per shift/week an what kind of jobs they can do.

Even then, many older people in the US will call someone 18-20 "kids", even though they're technically adults.

As a US English speaker I took it to mean "a bunch of young and immature people, probably on their first job" when I heard "most people are just kids", not that they're literally hiring 12 year olds or something.

No the regulation system as a whole is analogous to the fence. You're asking them to point to a specific picket and explain why it's there. But that's very obvious: it's part of the fence.

I strongly object on comparing the Texas power grid with this wild-west stock exchange.

Deregulation of power grids (which has been done throughout the US, not only in Texas) isn't the same as removing red tape in financial reporting. It's about removing oversight of large, vertically-integrated utilities by fostering competition of unintegrated market participants.

Deregulating power grids has been such a success for flexibility and renewable energy integration that the European Union codified it into law in 2019.

Is it working perfectly in Texas? Absolutely not. Is it an example of utter failure of "deregulation"? Absolutely not!
That's why VINs make a decent natural key, because they do have a check digit. Plus they're not opaque: if you look up the VIN and the make/model/year is completely different than the car in front of you, you know you either have the wrong VIN or the wrong car.
This sort of thing is extremely bad news for Google.

One of the open secrets about how advertising works in the modern era is that brand synergy demands planning years in advance. Google employees, back in the day, could see the marvel cinematic universe release plan out to several years if they knew where to look, as well as console launch dates, major product releases, and other things of that nature. This is because the advertising sector has high-touch, high-value customers, and those customers expect their marketing plan to go off without a hitch. So Googlers have to make time and schedule things like DiRT testing and new feature validation sensitive to those schedules; Warner Bros isn't going to want to hear it if their Superman ad dropped 2 days early because a feature flag was misconfigured.

When Google was smaller, this was fine. But as a 100,000 person company, I believe it is completely infeasible to expect every Googler to keep those secrets. At those scales, you can't really even use the threat of firing to maintain secrecy because you can't really guarantee that the person who's going to replace the fired one is going to be more loyal. So inevitably, either Google locks down its internal infrastructure (turning it into a company other than the kind of company it was in the past), they cap their employee growth (which implies capping their growth in general), or they start losing high value customers who can't trust them to keep a secret.

In practice, they are definitely doing the first two to some extent and that is changing the flavor of the company internally. Part of the secret sauce of old Google is it didn't keep secrets from itself.

One may notice this has something to do with mutability. If there isn’t a surrogate key, the record isn’t mutable. The database may let you change it, but the new record has a new identity. Mutability as a concept requires a common identity across time. Languages permitting mutability are using a pointer or reference as an implicit surrogate identity. A typical database can’t offer this, hence the need to put explicit surrogate keys into the schema. You cannot say “this changed” unless you can refer to both samples as a common “this”.
