I think the point of the reputation bit is that there are probably other people in the video, too, and it might be their reputation that's at stake. Just because you're in the video doesn't mean that it's your reputation they're protecting.

I don't expect that, but I do expect that a company not immediately kowtow to an infringement request if there is some ambiguity as to whether it's infringing.

That said, the original reporting on this and the statement from DigitalOcean are at odds (Motherboard's update with DO's statement), and since I haven't verified either, I'll retract any specific support for either side of this particular instance.
He mentions that a:
autists are dumber (i.e. do not express some or most of the markers for high intelligence) but posess the genetic markers, and b:
the expression of intelligence markers of siblings/parents/higher-order relatives of autists (specifically) is understudied and recommends it for further study.
[As far as I read it anyway]

I do believe that the "imbalance"-hypothesis he presents is a bit vague and proposes several imbalances according to different (and possibly orthogonal) models for intelligence, making it seem a bit unfalsifiable to me. Who knows. Behavioral neuroscience based on MRI(or similar modalities) is a giant sandcastle anyway, best not stack those results too high.
This is an impressive effort!

It seems that Gluon has taken inspiration from Haskell right down to the monadic solution to mutable state: https://github.com/Marwes/gluon/blob/master/std/state.glu

I wasn't able to find any 'cell' type or mutable records like in OCaml, so this does seem to be a pure language -- is that right? I wonder how that works in practice for small embedded scripts/logic -- my intuition is that the discipline enforced by monadic types and purity is really great at large scale but can be frustrating when you just want to hack something together.

Anyway, it would be interesting to see typical use-cases for Gluon!

On it's surface making the footage not immediately public isn't a bad idea. The classic example would be a swat team showing up at the wrong house, busting down the door, and having video footage of John Q Citizen in his birthday suit. As long as there is a process for getting access to the footage that's impartial, that's fine.

What's really needed though is a way to escrow the footage. This is a solved problem in the tech world. The stream should be stored off site, cryptographically signed (public sig), in the control of a third party (though still a government entity, not a private corporation). Otherwise you'd be asking the criminals[1] to hold onto the evidence.

MyHTML: Fast C/C++ HTML 5 Parser Using Threads
I haven't tried it with a Google API specifically but here's their description:

> Charles does this by becoming a man-in-the-middle. Instead of your browser seeing the server’s certificate, Charles dynamically generates a certificate for the server and signs it with its own root certificate (the Charles CA Certificate). Charles receives the server’s certificate, while your browser receives Charles’s certificate. Therefore you will see a security warning, indicating that the root authority is not trusted. If you add the Charles CA Certificate to your trusted certificates you will no longer see any warnings – see below for how to do this.

https://www.charlesproxy.com/documentation/proxying/ssl-prox...

It seems you are correct if they use pinning:

> Note that some apps implement SSL certificate pinning which means they specifically validate the root certificate. Because the app is itself verifying the root certificate it will not accept Charles's certificate and will fail the connection. If you have successfully installed the Charles root SSL certificate and can browse SSL websites using SSL Proxying in Safari, but an app fails, then SSL Pinning is probably the issue.

I actually agree with most of these - at least for early-stage startups. Using off-the-shelf tools has nothing to do with barriers to entry; if you're reinventing the wheel for things that aren't at the core of what differentiates your product, you are just wasting time. As important as they are, reducing technical debt and improving security are not the highest priority items - especially when you have limited resources and a yet-to-be-proven product. And yes, soft skills often do influence a startup's success more than code.

The way I see it, this footage is there to safeguard both the public and police from lies about each other. It's not there for general perusal, and making it public will expose a lot of private situations that shouldn't be, especially for the civilians in the videos.

So long as the video is available for related court cases, now and in the future, that's fine. There does need to be a way to safe-guard it from destruction when someone wants to hide something, but I think that's a different matter than making the videos non-public.

I won't argue with your assumptions because they fall in line with my (completely non-experience based) assumptions about that dev culture (and the fact that my Honda onboard app is such shit), but I had thought that something like autopilot would be outsourced to a specialty firm?

http://fortune.com/2016/03/10/toyota-jaybridge-robotics/

> Toyota has brought onboard the entirety of the workforce at Jaybridge Robotics, an artificial intelligence software firm based in Cambridge, Mass.

Obviously, it's extremely possible for experienced engineers to have their work be for naught when working for an incompetent overseer. And my intuition is that automotive engineering requires such a high amount of coupling and integrated behavior that you can't just outsource your AI to an expert firm and then tack it onto the finished car. But those are causes of failures that are separate from the aspect of auto software engineer culture that you mention, which could be incompetent for their own devices while not being the primary driver of failure when it comes to autopilot features.
Then Free Speech doesn't exist anywhere in the world.
Experience suggests this may be wise.

I feel there's a huge "repricing" of the value of early-stage tech employment occurring as capable developers realize just how shitty the standard 90k + .1% job offer for 50-60 hours/wk, little autonomy, and zero chance for promotion is, in a city where apartments cost 3400/mo, gas is 3.50/gal and income taxes are 9.4%. (And the city wants a "tech tax" on payroll of companies)

I worked in this kind of environment for a few years, gained some great experience/connections, and enjoyed it to a large extent, but probably wouldn't do it again.
That's totally inaccurate.

Tesla or Elon recently announced that the accident rate for autopilot is half of human driving. I didn't read past the headline but I'd hope such a statement was based on a comparison that controlled for the type of driving environment and didn't exclude accidents that occurred moments after autopilot gave up and threw the wheel to the driver.
Agreed. I'd love to see the numbers again but running on dedicated hardware.
In practicality, everything you said is correct. Politically, however, the burden of proof is on the new technology as if the old technology doesn't exist or is completely safe. The old technology has the political support of anyone who makes a living driving, despite the dangers and drain on public finances. That's the hurdle we need to get over and it might just need to take until this protected class is replaced with the new technology via attrition.
Got it about the customization. But while it has a benefit to you as a probable "power user", it has a cost: beginners don't get it. They don't understand why part of skype is in a windows while another lives in another. When widgets are dockable/undockable, they undock by mistake, lose the undocked widget in some unseen corner of their screen, are unable to reattach it, and get frustrated.

"All-in-one" UIs allow for less customizability/rearranging, but IMHO that's a trade-off they do for one huge benefit: simplicity.

With this in mind, how do developers decide which direction to push? By looking at their target user base, of course. And the target user base of Skype is not mostly savvy professionals who like to rearrange windows/widgets, it's humans wanting to talk to other humans. So Skype developers naturally push towards simplifying.

Other examples of applications who are kinda, in various ways, reducing such customizability:

- Office, with the Ribbon: no more detachable toolbars.

- All iOS / Android apps: single-screen, one thing focused at a time (with the exception of left/right tiling in recent iOSes)

- Even the GIMP introduced a Single Window mode in recent versions.

Now, why don't Skype developers let users pick whether to choose single or multi-window mode? (which they used to do in the Qt-based version under Windows, see the "View" menu).

- Because configurability means more code, more tests, more bugs, more money. So if only a tiny part of the userbase requires the configurability, product managers bring the hatchet.

- And again, options means beginners will accidentally change them to the one that doesn't fit them, won't understand what the hell happened and how to change it back, ending up either grudgingly accommodating to the undesired option, or getting frustrated and leaving.

> This is exactly what the laws in Germany are against. Hate speech that ultimately leads to violence.

Your example is not mere "hate speech that ultimately leads to violence", its -- while somewhat ambiguously worded so it might not actually be prosecutable in the US, its right on the boundary -- something that could (depending on other elements of context) be seen as a threat coupled with present capacity for execution directed at a specific person.

Its not a clear example of something outside the bounds of protection in the US, and to the extent that it might be seen as crossing the line in the US, its very much not analogous to the kinds of things prohibited by the more expansive German restrictions on speech.

Well, there are things we know and things we will know. If we take the hypothetical "all knowing I", we assume it has zero security and all knowledge (wisdom). With individuals, we have high security (you can't know what I'm thinking) and low wisdom. So, knowledge plays a part in all this, as is evident of the result of causality. There's a sutra that deals with this concept as well.

I have a hypothesis that reality is backed by a blockchain data structure, which is why it's robust and fairly immutable. One might create a simple reality based on a blockchain data structure and then attempt to model causality/matrix rotations with that structure in such a way that the behavior of "gravity" noted in a gyroscope can be observed to not occur, given the nature of the scientific method. i.e. model rotations in a blockchain without generating gravity/precision and you've disproved my hypothesis.

The correlation with this test and reality would be allowing brief access to a "search" across all knowledge (which could be optimized behind the scenes) and then allow that knowledge to exist until the block is closed, at which point you are left with whatever gets closed in the block and the resulting forces that have to occur to rationalize the rotation. Rinse and repeat.

Probably doing a horrible job of explaining it. First time I've really written it down.

> "The only "DRM" I can think of with USB-C is playing impedance games."

I didn't mean to imply DRM existed in USB-C today, what I was implying is that the move away from the 3.5mm jack to USB-C audio is at least partly driven by DRM (in the long run). It's like what happened with HDMI. HDMI is more or less DVI-D video + digital audio + DRM (HDCP). What was the point of adding in the DRM to HDMI? What risk was posed by unencrypted DVI video streams? In my opinion, similar arguments for adding DRM to HDMI will be given for adding DRM in future revisions of USB-C audio. Perhaps the phone manufacturers will also use the argument that dodgy USB-C cables can damage devices (due to the high power spec for USB-C). In any case, I'm fairly certain that those that seek to benefit from DRM will be looking to add it in.

Bulambuli Valley – 9367 Miles from Silicon Valley
Actually I think SpaceX and NASA do think quite differently about things. NASA has to engineer toward maintaining their national mandate. Every launch is a PR game targeting the American public and congress. SpaceX instead has to worry about keeping customers happy. I think SpaceX has a simpler job there. Sourcing, manufacturing, deployment, insurance, etc. all seem simpler for a private company. They're shown that they're not shy about breaking their toys once the customers payload is off if they think they have a good chance of learning something.

SpaceX hasn't had people in their vehicles yet. Maybe they're be more careful when they do. Or maybe not. I can't find the quote right now but I think it was Sagan who said that part of what makes exploration so captivating is that it is dangerous, maybe we shouldn't make safety the number one priority because it might slacken our awe.
Good point. A standard process and policy of anonymizing third parties would resolve this, but that takes effort, which means money. I would be okay with a nominal fee per requested released video to deal with this, such as $50 (or an hour at the prevailing hourly wage of a technician), otherwise the legislature should allocate funds for such. There is a balancing act.

Correct. You'd need at least 32 deaths. Until then, there is no "probably" one way or the other.

Deaths are also a poor metric, since car safety comes into the picture. You're better off using pure reported accidents instead.
You can burn at the stake for that kind of question.
