Have we reached peak data privacy paranoia? Harmless lil projects that harken back to the good ol' days of the internet are somehow actually devious PII honeypots?

Why do people think their data is so valuable on its own without being connected to their actual consumer related behavior? Truly, what is a name and address worth vs. anonymous user on smart TV id_8z6748dxzh watched 3 hours of Hoarders on Amazon Prime, skipped 85% of ads, but did not skip 50% of ads relating to early onset male pattern baldness, and resides in Ohio?

We somehow both overestimate and underestimate the value of our personal data. Which leads to unwarranted paranoia in inappropriate contexts and alarming indifference in the most common but mundane contexts.
As with most things, I think that not only is "better" subjective, but such dogmatism is a sign that you are not considering that other relevant perspectives or context may exist that can disagree with you. I think true intelligence by definition requires humility and realizing that we can't know everything, there are things we don't know that we don't know, and the world is not so black and white.

I’ve done this a few times in the past as well. But I found it’s less stressful for everyone if you preface it first like, “You’ve been really helpful. Can I tell your manager or mention you in a survey or something?” (Note: direct managers at stores don’t always have the ability to do much to reward good employees and it might be more helpful to fill out a survey or something that corporate sees.)
> undertuned from the factory

This seems to be a big component of then vs now. Previously companies lacked precision modeling and simulation and so often simply overbuilt parts.

Now, costs have been cut and fuel efficiency standards are much higher, so systems are more tightly engineered from the factory.
Massed-Spaced Learning and Panpsychism
Dig into what exactly is it they would be sacrificing. The actual day-to-day raising of children is fulfilling and positive. The cost is mostly worries that are partly financial and more social - falling behind in your career, not being able to maintain friendships, not being able to spend enough time with your existing kids, not being able to afford to give your new kids a good childhood, not being able to put all your kids through college, not being able to afford retirement.
To add a data point for Elixir: https://gist.github.com/neon-sunset/8fcc31d6853ebcde3b45dc7a...

Note 1: The gist is in Ukrainian, and the blog post by Steve does a much better job, but hopefully you will find this useful. Feel free to replicate the results and post them.

Note 2: The absolute numbers do not necessarily imply good/bad. Both Go and BEAM focus on userspace scheduling and its fairness. Stackful coroutines have their own advantages. I think where the blog post's data is most relevant is understanding the advantages of stackless coroutines when it comes to "highly granular" concurrency - dispatching concurrent requests, fanning out to process many small items at once, etc. In any case, I did not expect sibling comments to go onto praising Node.js, is it really that surprising for event loop based concurrency? :)

Also, if you are an Elixir aficionado and were impressed by C#'s numbers - know that they translate ~1:1 to F# now that it has task CE, just sayin'.

Here's how the program looks in F#:

Pragmatism is central tenet of Buddhism. Has been thus since Gothama. Do not "believe"; learn, try, experience and then understand. About 2000 years before Americans.

If you put effort into controlling it, sure. Most people have other priorities, they push the pedal when they want to go and they leave it to the car to accelerate at a reasonable speed when they do. Mass-market cars should be built for the population that exists, and that means having a default accelerator-response that does sensible things for the way that normal people normally use the accelerator.

Aphantasia is hard to explain, especially in a drive by comment.

I'm not the person you're replying to but the answer, for me, depends on what you really mean by conjuring images. Very technically no, I see no images for this but I don't know if that is truly the whole point of what you're asking.

I mostly understand what is happening but I also really struggle to get the angles right in my mind of someone swinging a mallet quickly and one time hitting a shin and the next aimed for the head so maybe I'm missing something.

There are other senses involved as well even though it isn't visual, including things like spatial reasoning or maybe even something like proprioception - like I said it's hard to explain.

I can imagine myself in this position better than I can "visualize" it happening to someone else.
My question is why don't we have self cleaning bathrooms yet.

plenty of places in America could have far better public transportation than they do. Take the Bay Area vs Switzerland

Size: Switzerland 15,940 mi², Bay Area 6,966 mi²

Population: Switzerland 8.85 million, Bay Area 7.76 million

So given that, the bay area is twice as dense as Switzerland

Miles of train tracks: Switzerland 3,241 miles, Bay Area ~300 miles?

SF Bay Area has a bay, Switzerland is all mountains so it's not like Switzerland is particularly easier to cover in public transportation

Plenty of other places in the USA could be covered in trains. LA for example used to have the largest public transit system in the world. It was all torn down between ~1929 and ~1975. A few lines have been created since but, the problem in the USA is, except for maybe NYC and Chicago, public transportation is seen as a handout to poor people instead of the transit the masses use like most saner places. (Most cities in Europe and Asia). Getting it back to that point seems nearly impossible. Building one track at a time, each taking 10-20 years with Nimbys fighting them all the way means the density of tracks always is too small to be useful, and so no usage.
This seems like an easily corruptible idea. For example, who measures the negative externalities? Certainly there are many, also certain is the ambiguity in measurement. Plenty of ways to game the system and for the system to play favorites.
That's 500 million people (EU), 25 Million people (California), and of course you forget about all the other places that have PII data protection laws, like Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut, Utah, and increasingly more US states. Then, of course, there is Canada, the UK, Brazil, South Korea, Japan, Australia, New Zealand, India, South Africa, Singapore, Israel, all of which have GDPR-compatible laws or are quickly approaching it.

I am no lawyer. Before collecting data, better talk to one.

Most interesting point to me

> You must often compromise between correctness and convenience or performance and you should be intentional when you choose a point along that continuum. I find some programmers are inflexible when considering this dynamic, where it's somehow obvious that one of those concerns dominates, but in my experience the interplay is pretty subtle; for example, a tool that trades off correctness for convenience might overall produce a more correct ecosystem than a more correct but less convenient alternative, if programmers end up avoiding the latter.

Curb, silicon, boardwalk, and game are left. Boardwalk is the most valuable monopoly property, silicon is the modern equivalent? No clue, maybe I’m missing a cultural reference? What if curb is a verb? Curb your enthusiasm, first word of tv shows? Silicon Valley, game of thrones, maybe there is a show that starts with boardwalk? Seems tenuous.

Edit: yes, there is. Boardwalk Empire. Never watched any of them, but some googling tends me they’re all hbo shows - I knew that about Thrones. That seems slightly more realistic a connection than just first word of tv shows.

Seems like exactly the kind of thing AI would/could theoretically best humans in.

Why not but …

I’m not certain we’d want to create incentive for less polluting compounds over security.

Also, tires are generally expensive and people are already driving with worn out tires regularly for this reason.

So why not, in absolute, I agree, but it may create issues.
The key indicator is a simple question: how many of Australia's teenagers continue to use social networks now.
I'm doing my best to avoid writing a sarcastic comment about Australia's reputation for putting off troubling about the technical details for digital legislation.

However, I can't resist posting some of the highlights that arose when the Assistance and Access Act passed a few years back:

Asked whether the laws of mathematics behind encryption would trump any new legislation, Mr Turnbull said:
"The laws of Australia prevail in Australia, I can assure you of that." (0)

Those requirements have to be from the expansion or something, I played a lot of WarCraft II on my 25 MHz '040 Centris 660AV back in the day (we also had a family Performa 5200 so my house was the only place my friends could play multiplayer networked WC2)

You can just about make out "68040" in the requirements on the box art here https://images-worker.bonanzastatic.com/afu/images/7569/5203...

It's kinda ridiculous reading the comments in here.

This is a persistence stage exploit mechanism, meaning in order to install it, privilege escalation happened before that and it already got root rights.

The people here that claim "secureboot prevented that". No, it didn't. A simple call to sbctl to sign the rootkit is missing, because, as every Linux device, you will have to have the signature keys available locally. Otherwise you can never update your kernel.

That is the conceptual issue that cannot be fixed, and also not with TPM or whatever obscurity mechanism in between.

Linux needs to be a rootless system, meaning that there needs to be a read only partition that root can never read. That would limit access to this kind of thing to physical access or the kernel ring at the very least. Technically, this was the intent of efivarfs, but look at where vendor firmware bugs got us with this.
Five weeks in any major corporation outside of IT, and you will be spewing that kind of talk like a machine gun. It's mind-numbing. Avoid the suits as if they were spreaders of the plague, because their brain-rot is not much better.

I don't know which planet you live on, but London's public transit is hellish on days where it works. The fact that there seems to be industrial action every other week, that the subway is slowly heating up, and major stations are virtually always overcrowded is not something I even take into consideration. Not when the local trains have a toss-of-a-coin chance of actually showing up at all, or even in a configuration that was originally planned, and not just half of the carriages.

I unironically had better public transit in third-world countries.

While I haven't listened yet, one thing I don't really buy when it comes to blaming Evolve is that it should fundamentally be Synapse's responsibility to do reconciliation. This is what completely baffled me when I first worked with another BaaS company - they weren't doing any reconciliation of their ledgered accounts with the underlying FBO balances at the partner bank! This was insane to me, and it sound likes Synapse didn't do it either.

So even if Evolve did make accounting mistakes and have missing transactions, Synapse should have caught this much earlier by having regular reconciliations and audits.
