Perhaps you could encrypt your logs after a predefined “live data” period passes. Each log line’s key would be derived from a key that is itself derived from the data subject’s unique identifier. If that subject invokes their “right to be f

It’s funny how, as you progress through a career and gain responsibility, those HBR articles go from seeming like a bunch of Markov chain corporate-speak to being on-target for that exact problem you had last month with the leadership team.

True, but Old, Super, and Hyper together represent a deep and productively adversarial exploration of the problem space -- each trying to best its predecessor. The overall problem space benefits, even as each package individually ages into

They did their part and Pai ignored them - flat out ignores them as if they don't matter It's actually worse than that. He uses the imprimatur of the federal government and the commission he leads to ridicule opposing arguments.

Exactly so. While he often adopts the mien of those for whom he is a vehicle, Trump himself has no real political philosophy; every pick is entirely transactional.

I try to consistently use the word "target" to head off the ambiguous semantics around time estimates versus "deadlines". It's a little thing, but it can be psychologically easier if one explicitly controls the proj

A similar trick to help crystallize thinking about the project is to ask whether it's on the order of hours, days, weeks, or months. This mitigates the fear of speaking a number and having it be enshrined as a guarantee, while connecti

More generally, there hasn't been time for "long discussions" of any kind, much less with heads of universities (tax legislation of this scope has typically entailed months of hearings, discussions with stakeholders and affec

Not to mention, you can't pay your rent with saved future dollars.

Given the freedom to do so, some ISP is almost certain to try something along these lines. This gutting of regulations will open up a vast world of new monetization strategies, from selling speed packs, to "earning" speed by watch

One big problem is that insurance companies are looking to optimize financial outcomes, not health outcomes. Sometimes these coincide but often they do not.

I thought I read, perhaps here, that Tesla over-provisions its batteries and uses software to optimize the battery "working set" to minimize perceptible range degradation.

A few years ago I was on a trip in Tanzania, visiting Ngorongoro Crater. At one point, high up on the crater rim, the guide pulled the Land Rover to the side of the road to give a ride to a couple of uniformed "park rangers". They
