Probably something about the personal time and effort invested in a thing. I would feel much less personally invested if, for example, I created an outline of a story and then paid a ghostwriter to fill it in.
I had an interesting conversation with a junior engineer who made this observation. She shipped a feature, we gathered data, and based on data we pivoted to a different design. She called out that she wasn’t attached to the code because AI wrote it. Not that she didn’t care about quality or effectiveness of the product, but the personal emotional attachment to the code itself was not there. Probably a healthy thing. I’ve seen senior engineers defend mediocre code because they wrote it and changing it was an ego hit.
Problem is do you trust the government to produce a proven reference design and test data? I have doubts that the best automotive engineers are working for any governments.
More likely any reference design would come from a private company and the regulation would end up establishing an effective monopoly. Everyone has to implement the reference design because the liability is too high for not implementing the government-blessed one.
Yeah. I’m not certain if the Amazon ones were actually the same as the ones I linked. But extremely similar at least.
It’s been a long time. Very plausible that we did get the ones with the styrofoam sometimes and I just don’t remember. I know we got the cooler bag sometime.
They must have been using different crates for you (different region or perhaps era). For me they were standard plastic bins[1] with a separate “cold bag” inside for frozen stuff. No actual styrofoam I recall, although this was also over 10 years ago so I could be misremembering.
Amazon did that with an earlier version of their grocery delivery service. I assume the cost and logistics of managing and cleaning the bins just wasn’t worth it because their grocery service delivers in paper bags now.
One problem with the bins for normal items is that rarely will they be packed to the brim. I imagine the overall item density would drop significantly if they started using standardized bins instead of appropriately sized boxes for the items.
I don’t know about health care but a lot of stuff in the US is set up for megacorps and individuals but nothing in between. As an individual you can easily get a self funded 401k plan. As a small business you basically can’t.
Of course the US still biases towards megacorps who get to do things like distribute dividends taxed at capital gains rates instead of ordinary income like sole proprietorships.
Attacking someone for leaving Google because they are no longer comfortable with Google’s actions is some combo of virtue signaling and counterproductive purity testing.
You’re not influencing anyone’s behavior nor meaningfully educating anyone. You’re basking in your feeling of moral superiority while you look down your nose.
> what Google is doing today is just as morally acceptable as the things they were doing in 2017 were at the time. We just pushed the baseline down and normalized the ever worsening behaviors.
You can’t hold together your premise for 2 sentences. If you admit that the behaviors are “ever worsening” then you cannot logically believe that it was the same 9 years ago.
The real problem isn’t the revocation list itself. It’s just a list of numbers. If you get a credential that has been revoked it certainly tells you that it’s been revoked, but not much else. Assuming of course that it’s actually a revocation list being fetched and not a “is this particular cred revoked” call, because that would reveal that the cred is being presented to the caller.
The real question is how do you know when to revoke? How does the government know if a cred is being used by a minor or used broadly, indicating it’s been shared? These imply some sort of feedback from the entities accepting the creds and mean that the privacy guarantee is breached.
(I’m also not sure how revocation lists work with zero knowledge but maybe there is some crypto magic for that.)
I did not say it should be thrown away. I said that it can’t be done while preserving privacy the way advocates claim. It’s totally plausible that the trade-off is reasonable, but I also don’t think we should pretend that the trade-off isn’t there.
What does this even mean? Why have the junior engineer if they aren’t irrationally invested in the code the write?
