Consistent access to sufficient money is life changing for people who grew up without. The change isn’t immediate. You don’t just suddenly adapt. You don’t unlearn the coping mechanisms you develop to survive while your poor. It takes time.

Poverty fucks you up.
Have any of these videos actually been taken down?

I watched them on the guy’s Instagram account, where he’s using them to sell his anti-cop merch.

I’ve been seeing this headline on multiple sites in the past few days, but all of them include the video, which apparently hasn’t been taken down anywhere? Starting to think the person filming is doing so to promote his personal brand, and it’s working.
Google did not steal code. Dual licensing is not a reason but a practice. Unlicensed use of code is still unlicensed and punishable by the terms of the license. Dual licensing still exists and will continue existing.

I read that news uses a pyramid structure where they say the main point first, then increasingly elaborate for anyone who cares enough to continue reading. However, news is also famous for people only reading the headlines, and skipping the body of an article. It seems good for conveying information but bad for engagement (although some papers and magazines ramble for pages and you never find out what the article is even about because it’s 70% tangent and human interest)
Your point is true, except that you will go electric, whether you do it for dopamine hit or not. The technology is strongly pointing to the complete and utter obsolescence of gasoline in a matter of only a few more years. Arguably gasoline is already obsolete and riding the very long tail of awareness of transition. Gasoline is still dominating in the cheapest sectors (of American auto sales, not true in China), but as cheaper electric models arrive and the used market continues to swell with good used electrics, that sector too will fall, and gasoline will be relegated to the old and the unusual.

So if you want to be beating people off the line, you better get into electric now, because the roads are filling up with 'em and quick!
Be careful with this. I used to give aircraft simulator instruction and had to learn that AC backwards and forwards. Bottom line is it's not enough just to get a certified yoke and throttle quadrant. The entire package, hardware and software together, has to be "authorized," not just "certified." The instrument for this is a Letter of Authorization (LOA) that spells out exactly which kinds of currency/experience can be logged on that specific Aviation Training Device, and the approved aircraft configurations (e.g. SR20, PA-28R, BE-76). No LOA, no hours. If you can get a copy of the manufacturer's LOA, and the experience you want is in that letter, go for it! Otherwise, you've just got a very expensive video game.

There's a list of current LOAs here: https://www.faa.gov/about/office_org/headquarters_offices/av...

And here's an example of an LOA: https://flypfc.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/PFC-CAT-II-III...
SAP is more of a management and acquisitions company that owns some software.
Ironically, a one man show in a garage would be more resistant to legal challenges than hosting on aws. If you want to take down my server you have to either issue a warrant to search and seize my home, or a warrant for each of my ISPs, or intervene at the IP block or DNS level.

The outcries over freedom of speech were just pathetic from a technological standpoint, it's a bunch of web 4.0 developers and users who felt entitled to services that even a 90s computer enthusiast would be able to provide.

On some level it's not just Parler's fault, the internet has become more complex, and maybe some ISPs and modems provide some roadblocks like shared IPs and obnoxious firewalls, but after months they are still unable to lift a physical building place computers on property they control. It's like they are either incompetent or purposely looking for refusal of service so they can martyrize themselves.

You might be interested in a technology Microsoft has developed called "Drawbridge" [0], which is essentially an implementation of a subset of the windows nt kernel and system libraries in a userspace program.

This software has already been used to deploy Microsoft SQL server on Linux -- essentially, when you install MSSQL for Linux, you're deploying a win32 unikernel. There's a repo on github which has explored tearing down this published example of drawbridge and playing with it. [1]

The Microsoft page claims that "Drawbridge runs many existing Windows applications without modifications ranging from desktop applications like Microsoft Office 2010 and Internet Explorer to server applications like IIS".

We do mind, the incentives in academia are just not setup for people to build a replacement. Google are working on their TPUs which are even more closed. Facebook, MS. et al do not seem to be working on porting popular ML framework to something else...
I'm not sure myself but I wonder if it is more common to use robot to refer to a crawler/scraper in this space. These tools are basically screen scrapers. I have seen web crawlers referred to as robots (robots.txt files are used to configure crawlers). These days we tend to shorten "web robot" and use "bot" to refer to these programs.

It kind of makes sense if you look at it from the perspective of it being a "machine that resembles a human". Not that I agree with it.
I would argue that this is the result of a free market of news. These media organizations only exist because they tell people what they want to hear. There's a huge market for that. In order to peddle anything, you have to get people to listen first, and you can't take listeners for granted in a society where the media is not controlled by the government.
True, but there are some systemic issues that make that pretty challenging. Google is now paying about $4B a year to people to host (or white label) a search box that goes back to Google. Then if you want to offer advertising on your search you generally have to get it from Google too, but that isn't as valuable as it once was and that is a problem for Google.

But perhaps the most interesting thing I've learned from my 5 years at Blekko doing search is that "phase 2 or 3" of the Internet is here. Crawling everything is a waste of resources because 95% of the "new" stuff coming online on the Internet is not information, it is just spam. This combined with advertiser burnout from getting scammed again and again on advertising that claims to generate leads or sales but leads only to click farms. And the whole eco system of the web is in being rocked, along with media distribution. The world is approaching some sort of climactic shift of orientation.

Blekko's key mission has always been to try to find the needles in this exponentially growing pile of hay. And it is something that the folks at Watson really liked about our technology when we first met at their outreach program to connect with startups. That is what lead to their asking us to join them, and no, they weren't particularly interested in the stuff we had done to provide more topical advertising signals. So as a technologist this has been both a validation of our work on finding the real information in the web and making it useful to people, and, when I'm honest with myself, a welcome step away from working on still more advertising technology.

Having the resources to pursue that, and an engine (Watson) that can put it to use, seems pretty exciting.
The BBC Popluar List has that very same title and I thought it was click-baity to say African comedian rather than just say his name - Trevor Noah. I don't know much about his guy, except that I saw him once in QI.
Warren Buffet avoids companies that pay out dividends. His opinion is that it is better for a company to take excess cash and invest it into itself. If a company pays out a dividend, it means that it would be better for everyone involved if the money was invested in something completely different from that company. This is a sign that either the company is mismanaged, has little room for growth, or is more focused on short term profit than the long term.
The trick is avoiding middlemen and finding rich clients. Its not easy and I haven't figured it out. Maybe try to look more hipster.
So educate yourself, then ACT. Instead, folks have fairs and mailings and talks and races, spreading awareness, spending money. And then what? Mostly nothing.
Not remotely comparable. In the story you linked to, assets linked to specific crimes committed in the US were seized using civil forfeiture rules (if they were in fact seized; see: stories suggesting this is a hoax). The owners of those domains received court orders and have ample due process protections.

Ordinary citizens linking to those sites or to the new versions of those sites sure to be launched shortly aren't touched at all by these actions; the goal being to shut down ongoing criminal enterprises and not to stifle speech.

Read analyses of the State Department Counsel's letter to Wikileaks to see that the government has had to stop short of even calling Wikileaks itself a criminal actor (the leak itself of those documents to WL being prima facie a crime, but not one WL has liability for). The largest media companies in the United States are publishing the contents of those documents, for profit, with virtually no legal exposure.

Sorry. Australia sucks, at least on this axis.
I guess nobody thought it would be overrun.

But why would you even take that risk? Not to mention that tsunamis can easily reach 100 feet in wave height; I'm not sure you could build a seawall that could keep one out.
This is a completely self-defeating attitude, that gets a person nowhere and gets in the way of other people.

It's also simply not true, as shown by the change evidenced by the very release of these court documents, in this very article.

Be wary of those that publicly express premature defeat. It's a poisonous attitude.

Edit: the only reason to respond to a troll like this is that the bad attitude is infectious.

> It is unclear whether the spread-sheeting-loving, consensus-oriented, even-keeled Cook can successfully reshape the cult-like culture that Jobs built. Though Cook has deftly managed the iPhone and iPad product lines, which continue to deliver enormous profits, Apple has yet to launch a major new product under Cook; talk of watches and televisions remains just that.

It bothers me everybody ignores the already announced Mac Pro. It's more niche than an iPhone or iPad but an important one for many Mac users, and the specs and design really push innovation forward on a market that is almost dead (desktops).

My experience of Goodreads is that it used to be weird and unpolished, but basically on a trajectory towards being a solid niche social network for book readers.

But then, Amazon spent a lot of money to buy it, so they did the sensible thing and turned it into a big clunky funnel for book sales.
There should be no hesitation to ping via email. The recipient can respond as quickly as they're able. If they aren't busy that should ideally be within a couple minutes, and the response given will frequently be of higher quality than an off the cuff answer, since external resources can be consulted.

There are many situations in which synchronous feedback won't be possible, wfh or not. For example, when the coworker in question is in a meeting or on vacation. All developers must be able to handle this situation and avoid blockages by switching to another task or an unblocked portion of the same task. The sooner new devs learn to juggle their time and attention in this way, the better.
They might be wanting to get the jump on the competition.

If we could find proper way to do testing and administer unlimited class sizes, one option could be just allow everyone in first year remote with some lower tuition rate. And then just drop all of the students who do not do good enough to get inside quota of spots for further years.

Wow, that's a horrible headline. Did anyone actually read the letter? His position is far less extreme. All hes essentially advocating for is open protocols so that popular services aren't locked down to a single platform. It's an interesting question whether government should mandate interoperability.

Time-shifting is not a "Terms of Service" issue, because fair use is a right under copyright law and signing a license cannot take that away from you.

Also, I think you misread the article: Time-Shifting was never ruled to be transformative. It was ruled to be fair use by the Supreme Court because it is for private use and does not affect the market for the original work.

Quite interesting.

The fact that native people eating their traditional diet do not have the western diseases of stroke, heart disease, diabetes, etc., is well documented, as is the fact that those same native peoples who adopt a western diet do suffer from the western diseases.

Those facts alone prove that the western diseases not genetic but environmental and thus avoidable. Anyone who wishes to avoid them can do so, but they need to figure out how, which may not be obvious.
We use a more secure model here at ClearDB to ensure that customers (and code) cannot accidentally mix between two different data sets. As such, we don't rely so much on meta programming at the business level. Food for thought though.
Google has this problem on the web. Sites that duplicate other sites, etc. Linkfarms, etc. They are very good at weeding them out and getting rid of them algorithmicly. Why can't they do the same with the android market?
That makes your argument circular: you suggest that the US has higher criminality and this justifies the larger prison population; but faced with statistics that show it's not particularly higher, you now suggest the criminality would be higher if the prison population were lower.

In other words, the prison population is large because there are more criminal actors; and there are more criminal actors, because there is a large prison population.

It could be because of higher crime than the average Western European country. Imprisonment is a lagging indicator, of course, so the US crime rate would have to have been higher than the average Western European crime rate 10, 20, 30 years ago, rather than today necessarily.
Agreed, I've always thought that Skype would one day roll out an enterprise type "Skype Server" that would explicitly make performance better within corporations.
It may be a toy, but I've been looking at doing very similar things at work. We have an optimizing compiler for spreadsheets, and many of the better optimizations are implemented as clojure syntax transforms (since Clojure was our first working target), so lowering that representation rather than selecting another is an attractive option, especially when compared to (for example) generating LLVM IR or code for some high level language.

I definitely don't see what Gates and Buffet are doing as "legacy building" - if they wanted to build a "legacy", they would create some self sustaining "family foundation" that acted more like a social club than a charity. Instead, they are explicitly stating they want to give most of their money away while they are alive and all of it shortly thereafter.
Ugh ;) Looks like the probable use of this will be to allow news items to propagate based on how much sloppily- or poorly-written, inaccurate, or ambiguous verbiage there is buried down in the bottom. This is always the problem with poorly-written, sexed-up headlines, but at least the reporter isn't always writing those himself. Down in the article is where the sensationalist-but-crappy writing/reporting is likely to dwell.
I do think a lot of folks are missing the main point that no matter what security theater is in place, a state actor with enough motivation is going to breach it. They're not going to send someone after the password protected parts, they're going to send your recruiter the most irresistible candidate--the perfect background, right out of your favorite school and with expertise in exactly your tech stack. You'll get pages and pages of glowing recommendations from people inside and around the industry. They'll ace your interview loops, be loved by all your engineers and managers, and they won't bat an eye at the lowball first offer you give them. They'll move up the corporate ranks with ease and be everyone's friend... and then the best security in the world doesn't matter one bit.
You are absolutely wrong on your approach to this. If there is no transparency into what happened, there is nothing but the companies word that it won't happen again. In the case of SolarWinds, their word means less than nothing.

When you have a breach of this magnitude, people need to understand how the attack happened and what technical or process controls you have put in place to prevent it going forward.

The biggest issue with SolarWinds breach is they have done nothing but try to obfuscate what happened. When they did press release, they said it was a "Security Vulnerability".

WRONG!!!! There was a backdoor intentionally placed in their product and sent out as update to tens of thousands of customers. At the very best their response has been uninformed, but knowing what we know about solarwinds as a company it seems intentional. To date they have not corrected that release and still often times refer to it as a vulnerability.

There's many EU things that take effect with vendors outside the EU. Like software sales: Try to buy a license for a software package from the EU (or with an EU payment card) and you will always be hit with VAT at the rate of your country :( Even if the company is US based only. With the exception of really small ones I guess. In the above case it's annoying for us :) But in the case of GDPR it's good IMO.

Anyway the EU says it applies but I agree they don't really have much in the way of enforcement capability with companies that have no presence here. Though they could ask Apple/Google to remove it from the store I suppose.

And of course most companies do have a presence here. All multinationals do, and even the smaller ones. Even if it's just a sales office.
My guess is MS had plans for web dominance. Use Windows to push IE and VBScript and become gatekeeper to the web. Tightly couple Windows and web and have Windows become the web platform.

Until, US anti-trust investigation and law suit against MS. Which hampered MS enough to open the web business to smaller competitors, like Google, Apple, etc.

The fact that Apple now completely owns iOS and is gatekeeper to mobile app store is ironic. And, Google owns online ad services and is gatekeeper to online ad space is also ironic.
No, it is not. Go listen to the Planet Money episode about why old veterans hate the red cross. When you don't have enough information to set price well, you can do a ton of damage to your company by setting it too low. It's not always a "great strategy" but it's not a dark pattern in and of itself.
> The quality of life for most people in Bangladesh is way better than the quality of life anyone living in a tent city in SF / LA.

It's true but misses a broader picture. There are only ~0.5M homeless people in the US [1], or 0.1% of the population. What fraction of Bangladesh lives in that state? Being from the Indian subcontinent and having traveled extensively around the globe, I assure you that that is a much higher fraction and that the quality of life in the US is far far superior than what you'd find in a lot of third world countries.
