SEEKING FREELANCER | UTC-4 to UTC-9 ish | Remote

Seeking a web test automation engineer with in-depth knowledge of Cypress, Mocha and API testing (Supertest) (all JavaScript/TypeScript). Prefer knowledge of fuzzing, nice to have knowledge of property-based testing. We're building a life science research SaaS product that's used in regulated industries; testing supports our validation process.

Quite a letdown that the solution for a web-based spreadsheet is for users to install a local backend. Might be a case for edge computing even.

> WebAssembly has a single contiguous, linear memory space shared by all dynamic memory allocations. This means that WASM cannot make use of several memory management features that operating systems provide, such as Virtual Memory, Swapping, etc. Additionally, it cannot make use of the CPU’s MMU optimisations such as prefetching and caching.

WebAssembly has memory issues, but those are not them. Virtual memory and swapping are OS features that work at the page level. CPU prefetching and caching are CPU features that work at the cacheline/address level. [1] covers the major design limitations with WebAssembly memory.

California residents, here's the data deletion form: https://consumer.risk.lexisnexis.com/request#california

Is there any downsides to deleting or opting out?

Eg if you opt out of credit agencies then you have trouble getting credit cards and loans.

You can factually opt out AND delete the data if you’re a California resident - as specified by the above link.

Not to a great enough degree, though. Just try opting out of the major data collectors, such as LN or credit rating agencies, and see how that goes.

Also, it does nothing for people who aren't in California.

California's law is much better than nothing, but it's not as good as the GDPR and the GDPR isn't really adequate.

This form asks for your address, ssn, etc. I'm wary of giving this type of a company more information than they may already have. It's like those opt out email links where you need to enter your email address. Are you opting in or opting out ?

This is likely largely useless unless they have significant private sources of data. Publicly available data is exempt from deletion.

Thanks for this. Sadly, but not surprisingly, it is broken with the following error: "A system error has occurred and we are not able to process your request. Please try again later."

I got that same message (twice!), but got a confirmation email a few minutes later.

It turns out that collision among egg farmers is likely the actual cause of rising egg prices -- not avian flu or CA's new cage law. https://modernfarmer.com/2023/01/record-breaking-egg-profits...

This is not quite right. I don't think any other pharmacy tests what they dispense. It's expensive, difficult, and the FDA doesn't seem to appreciate that their risk management strategy is being second-guessed. They recently issued a long warning letter to Valisure for doing it [0].

Note that ValisureRx (consumer pharmacy that dispensed lot-tested drugs) was sold to Medley Pharmacy, which just folded. Valisure is now just a testing lab.

Finally, it's not just a chain of custody thing. Even big generic brands and name-brands source a huge amount of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) from China and India.

It's been built-in since December to Google Workspace premium tiers:

Thanks.

I wish it wasn't only for premium.

Medical appointment reminders and other medical communications have a special cutout in the TCPA, including reduced consent requirements. They annoy me too though; they're redundant with my calendar reminders. The feedback SMS might not be included in the exception either.

You're correct. The TCPA's opt-in requirements are specific to ongoing marketing related texts and treat "transactional" texts differently.

"Virtual kitchens" (ghost kitchens) are encouraged by doordash as a way to diversify and boost revenue and stuff:

https://get.doordash.com/en-us/blog/virtual-restaurant-brand

They seem to be used frequently as decoys to allow restaurants to drop bad reviews though.

"we can't delete bad reviews, but you could always make a virtual kitchen" is how I take that 'feature'.

On the contrary, it could be easily mistaken for herpes, molluscum, warts, syphilis, acne, insect bites... This outbreak doesn't usually have the severe rash that's characteristic of classic monkeypox.
