Redaction systems exist and are used for exactly this purpose. It's entirely possible to be transparent and protect citizen privacy. I work with a company that provides this type of technology for FOIA requests so I'm fairly famil

This reminds me of the time I caught my mortgage lender using javascript loaded directly from a github repo on their mortgage application process. I reported it to them and they didn't understand the problem.

I think the issue is that Google takes your money and monetizes your data anyway.

Wow. This is shamefully elitist. No, you did not need to go to university to learn those two things. There are plenty of people that have learned them from other life experiences. Also, some of the worst code I've ever had the pleasure

I've heard bad things about system76 laptop build quality (desktop I think is top notch). Has this improved at all?

Latin America solves this nicely. I've done a significant amount of work with teams in central and south America. It has been fantastic. I also relocated to Puerto Rico myself at the end of March. The rise of remote work and the tax be

So, people are going to raise children over zoom? And do so without a roof over their head? Remote work certainly seems possible, and that would cause a change in real estate prices in many areas. But claiming that real estate as a whole wi

The area under the infection curve does, but not the area under the death curve. The entire point of flattening the curve is to avoid doctors having to ration care due to overwhelming demand. Fwiw, I'm also in the camp that cases are a

I'm sure if you used a credit card you'd have no problem getting an involuntary refund from SXSW. After a few thousand of those I'm sure their stance would change.

This. I've had to spend time fixing history after a Jr engineer did a bad rebase. After a few episodes of that I decided I had to either stop hiring Jr engineers, have them always supervised by a Sr engineer, or stop rebasing. I stoppe

I have used gitflow successfully for some time (starting when it was first announced and there wasn't anyone complaining about it). I've always done "develop is always deployable to production" and the only thing we used

My wife and I coslept (and often still cosleep) with both of our children. They both sleep through the night without issue. Our oldest goes to sleep early and will insist on going to sleep when she feels tired and will wake up with me in th

I think honesty is a skill by the dictionary definition as you can certainly do honesty badly, and learning to do it well is difficult and requires study and practice. It's also worth learning how to do well.

They're already in use in the case of repeat drunk drivers and it's not a stretch to imagine similar technology in other ways with traditional vehicles. Self driving is completely orthogonal to this concern.

It seemed like the reduced cholesterol was what impacted personality. I don't know if statins cross the blood brain barrier but if cholesterol levels themselves drive behavior changes it doesn't seem like they would need to in ord

What I don't understand is why the road isn't an easement by necessity on the land with the dominant estate being the public beach. If the beach were private property the owner of the beach could certainly claim an easement exists

They're actually par boiled, then fried once at the factory, then frozen, then fried again. Strangely, following this exact process results in a fantastic french fry made at home. I started doing this after reading about it in the Food

If it's not harmful to sea life then a great potential market for this would be marine toilets. They all use extremely small amounts of water (especially the freshwater ones) and skid marks are always a problem. Boaters are also used t

Not discussing politics at work seems like it's missing a pretty key point here. Saying we will not choose our customers is not a realistic stance in this world. Choices will have to be made and when they are it is helpful to have a fr

Having known Will when I lived in Reno I'm certain your focus should be on "anyone could pick up and use" and not any statement about the usefulness of other approaches. The Will I know is fundamentally about teaching things

The supreme Court primarily hears important cases where there are strong and reasonable legal arguments on each side. The idea that they can just apply the law in these cases is a bit unrealistic. It's just not that clear cut in the ma

A lot of these morale problems happen after layoffs as well. If the layoffs are deep enough it makes sense to move the entire company to a different city and completely reboot. In those situations I've seen as much as 90% of the compan

I've had to lay off a decent number of people over the course of my career. The way I have always justified it is that I'm keeping the company healthy, and allowing far more people to keep their jobs in doing so. I'm sure the
