> Can't we advocate for better public understanding of, and decentralization of, location services...

No. It's a futile effort. There's too much to know about too many things in this world, and of the important things that people should know, this is pretty low on the list. It's up to the professionals (ie. us) to make decisions on behalf of those who can't, don't, and won't be able to understand the ramifications of those decisions (be it because they don't have the time, capability, capacity, or willingness to understand).
Digging a natural pond was probably the best project of 2016, turning a boring corner of the garden into an incredibly popular area for birds and wildlife with a lot of new visitors. Grafting some trees, making hoshigaki for the first time, and also a relatively decent home brew helped also to deal with an, otherwise, complicated and unstable year.
This is my same problem with JavaScript. Yes it's wonderful that changes are backwards compatible. But if the entire community is updating libraries you rely on to use new language features then you have no choice but to use those features too.

Or stop using other peoples' code and just use core language features and build everything from scratch. Which is what I end up doing, and it has some benefits. But it definitely slows you down.

Are you sure you can not decipher the argument I am making? Feel free to either replace "only thing" with "main thing" in my first comment, or "main thing" with "only thing" in the later comment, to make it consistent enough for you to parse.
You have to trust someone to establish basic facts about things you didn't personally witness, if you want to live in society with other humans and be able to make decisions about how to live together.

And as TeMPOral points out, I'm not saying I trust them with my life - but I do trust them more as an arbiter of factual reality.

After all, one of them is a democratically elected institution with strong rules about accountability and transparency. The other is a private company ruled absolutely by one individual and with a board member who's on the record saying he doesn't believe democracy is compatible with freedom.

Siri better at responding to medical and personal emergencies, say researchers
It's a common fallacy to extrapolate a situation to an extreme conclusion without providing any evidence for it.

Based on the slippery slope metaphor alone, the most you can say is that scenario #1 may lead to scenario #2. But the slippery slope is very often lazily and fallaciously used as the evidence or proof that scenario #2 will happen.

That's not how fake news work. They make claims that are untestable or require the proof of negative.

- Politician X has reptilian DNA.
- Candidate Y wants to instate communism.
- Protesters are hired actors by Z.
That also depends on the momentum (weight ratio, impact speed angle, etc.) The lesser the weight, the worst off during impact - we've seen that too often in NHTSA crash tests.
>What do you even mean by "devaluing"?

I've been clear about my meaning. Can't simplify it any further.

>Because certain types of technical advancement requires an element of devaluing people

That's your quote. What did you mean?

>Of course a more error prone, dangerous and expensive driver has less value.

There's a difference between preferring tech to do the driving and saying the human has "less value". You don't see that?

In any case, a hostile regard for human fallibility that approaches promotion of the dispensability of humans isn't a good thing.

I believe Breitbart publishes crap. The comment I responded to ascribes a motive to their expansion. That requires more evidence.

Consider, for example, the fake news which came out of Macedonia this past cycle [1]. We can objectively agree it's crap. We can reasonably disagree as to whether the authors were principally motivated by economic or political carrots.

I was under the impression that most of the information Aaron was freeing was publicly funded research. Elsevier et al do not fund research, they charge researchers to publish in their journals, they charge researchers to access those journals, and they generally lock down access to them. The thing they offer in exchange is conferring some of the prestige they've built up for their journals to your research paper.

Did he "free" any industry research?
If they could port this technology to an app on the phone, could they grow its understanding of various machines pretty rapidly?
You're right that it's a very much an American perspective, but I disagree with the characterization. How is it snobbish and selfish to want to live my life the way I choose to? Do you think that you are doing public works in giving strangers the gift of your physical presence on a shared rail cart?
At "megacorp" every other team I work with is remote to me. You do correctly make the point that I personally spend more time working with numerous other teams than with my own team, and that ratio likely varies a lot. There are likely jobs where members never talk to anyone outside their local team. That must be pretty boring, but it almost certainly exists. No one seems concerned that virtually all my working interactions are with "far away teams". Probably because it works very well and comes from top down directives not bottom up.
We also have the entire project on Github. Take a look:

T470 and T470p support 32GB, both come with dual battery. T470s has one dimm soldered, so the max memory is 24GB.
Yes and that's a problem with law not catching up with technology. Unfortunately for many people in the country, other social/financial issues are more important to them.
>You're assuming that the accuracy of the information Wikileaks releases is crucial to its influence or credibility

It did real harm to Dan Rather and CBS's credibility when they did it:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Killian_documents_controversy

Wikileaks' position is even more precarious than theirs since unlike CBS they own no distribution channels. If the mainstream media choose to ignore them then they're toast.

>I submit that Wikileaks is more influential because of political bias

This doesn't even make any sense: the average Trump voter and Assange do not see eye to eye.

>Many Americans have been trained to mistrust the mainstream media

They've got plenty of reason to mistrust them but that doesn't always stop the truth from being believed.

What has trained them to mistrust the mainstream media in any case, is lies. If they care about that (and all evidence points to the contrary), they can start by lying less.

>People who would be susceptible to political influence from sources like Wikileaks would likely also reject the credibility of the mainstream media, so the intended effect of influencing partisans

Partisans don't decide elections and the stupidest part of this post-election hand wringing has been the complaints about the idiocies they believe and how they were influenced.

What killed this election for Hillary was low turnout by non-partisans, not Trump.

>assume they are biased, corrupt and bought by corporate and political interests.

No need to assume. Plenty of evidence for this.

>Yes ... and your releases wouldn't be believed

I think if the DNC released their own emails they wouldn't have much trouble getting people to believe that they're real.

If they released actual evidence about Russian hacking then likewise.

>many people have been trained to assume that politicians are corrupt and that their denials regarding accusations of scandal are lies.

Again, there's no real need to 'train' people for this because it's self evident and relatively more truthful and scandal free politicians (e.g. Sanders) do have a greater tendency to be believed.

>I present to you the recent US Presidential election in rebuttal, and argue that selective exposure as a means of propaganda worked quite well in that case.

I present to you Hillary Clinton: the most compromised, scandal ridden politician that the DNC could possibly run and the only person who, under the microscope of wikileaks, could actually end up making Trump look good.

If Sanders was the nominee Wikileaks wouldn't have had anything of substance to leak.

I suspect that often, the real purpose of open office is just reduced square footage costs.

I've also seen the far end of open office (no assigned spaces, first-come / first served) used to mask the effect of constant layoffs. If people are spread around randomly, missing clusters aren't as easily noticed.
It's not easy to make such a comprehensive list over such a broad category, so cheers to the author for trying. I think it's a good list, but to challenge myself, I tried to think of some things that he missed.

1. Encryption
2. Compression

These might fit into another broad category like OS or Networking, but they are both distinct from those I believe.
"capitalism"

That word is the problem. It means something different for every person. To you it means one thing, to him it means another. When people criticize capitalism their arguments are always convincing because you project your own negative connotations into the word.
> my home is a place to relax and not think about work, and my workplace is a place to concentrate and not relax, the boundary helps me keep the right work life balance

You know I had this same opinion in 2009 when I was offered a position to work from home. It was such a strange thing to think about, working at home. I wasn't fond of my then current job. Was engaged to be married. We talked it over and I decided to take it. Seven years later, I don't want to ever go back to working in an office.

I learned to keep my set hours, and stay away from my work after hours. I now have kids which helps keeping away from my desk. At the end of my day I quit every single work related application, so if I go back to the computer to do my own thing it's a blank slate.

Not going to lie, it took a while to shake that "I'm always at work" feeling for the first few months. It still comes around, but very rare. Going in the backyard to play with the dogs, swing the kid, or grabbing some lunch once a week all helped with "escaping" and gaining a sense of normalcy.
I smell less the odor of censorship and more the aroma of shakedown, something the EU never tires of doing to US companies.

Maybe we should withdraw from NATO. I'm sure plenty of Ossies aren't above making a euro helping Wessies improve their Russian.
That's a good habit - however we don't know in this video if the SUV that got flipped over was braking suddenly, which can also cause collision without the rear car's anticipation (e.g. the rear car driver might be checking the right lane right before passing on the right etc. and missed that information for a split of a second right before collision.)
Sadly, editing is also volunteered by the same academics.
>You are just being partisan.

I just don't think the two sides are equivalent here. AFAIK, there is no far-left fake news website with the same revenue or audience numbers as the far-right has right now. The far-right is winning. If you side with them, go ahead and be happy, but I don't think I've said anything false by merely noting that they're succeeding in their stated goals of making money and spreading their views.

>Fake news has been a part of our media since forever. Go read the tabloids. People enjoy that stuff and that's all it is, entertainment. Would you ban tabloids from newsstands too?

I'm not advocating banning anything. I'm advocating that ordinary journalistic standards should apply to anything which markets itself as journalism.
Two ways:

* Preferred: On paper, with a pen. I can still write faster than I type. And I can doodle when the speaker is boring.

* In a text editor or word processor. That gives me spelling correction, lets me create bullets or numbering. And later I can copy and paste the notes into whatever the end-product might be (usually another word processing document).

I have two ways to take notes, depending on the context. One is to turn off my inner analyst and just write down what the speaker is saying: treat myself as a recorder. I don't try to evaluate or comment on the text unless my Muse insists. (e.g. "rest of the panel looks dubious" or "this seems like her key point") I do this when I have no idea how valuable the information or speaker might be, such as at a conference panel.

The other way to take notes is to listen for the meat of each person's message. That means I'm evaluating while I'm listening, and picking out the relevant bits from the speaker. (Blah blah blah but what really matters to this project is that everything is painted red blah blah) That's more appropriate when I'm in a team wherein I know who the players are and what they want. And especially where I know what I want.

...Is that what you're looking for?
I broadly agree with this, and nice to hear from people who've made it work.

But how feasible is it to do this today when so much of the current crop of advice seems to be teams-over-individuals, nobody-is-indispensible messages telling managers to avoid letting programmers gain this kind of leverage at almost any cost?

10 Simplest Tips for Getting 3x Inbound Leads from LinkedIn
Lighting actually makes a very significant difference in my opinion. I absolutely hate overhead fluorescent lighting, and really most forms of direct lighting. Actual daylight from outside is okay, as is soft lighting reflected from walls/ceiling. At work we have never turned on the overhead lights, just used floor and desk lamps.

It seems like many of the people planning offices don't even consider lighting.. they just by default put in a drop ceiling with 4x2 flourescent light banks. It's not like it even costs much more to do, well, nearly anything else and it makes a significant improvement to the office environment.
>So how much do we hold back technology and the use of it to protect against people committing crimes with it (as mentioned above)

Would you like an arbitrary line in the sand? Sure, let me give you one. The crime you're trying to stop has to affect at least 0.0001% of the population before I'll even consider lowering the quality of life of 99% of the population to protect against it.

0.0001% is an order of magnitude over the percentage of the US population that got murdered or manslaughtered in 2015, if you were counting.
> Most of the fake news articles made during the election were poorly written hoaxes with the goal of collecting ad revenue. Without any of them, Trump still would've won.

Poorly written hoaxes? Yes.
Did they contribute votes to trump? Yes.

Could he have won without them? I have no idea. It's likely impossible to say how big of a factor they were in the election.

There's a large population in the United States that revels in being anti-intellectual. They actively play into the "dumb-redneck" stereotype. They wear it as a badge of honor. I'm doing my best not to talk down here - I have spent time with these people (dated a few of them even.) Outside of a political discussion where they have been primed to be "outraged" at being called stupid, I have never heard them be upset about their lack of knowledge and education.

It's why they related so well to George W. Bush. He talked to them at their level, and they loved it.

I have heard amazingly absurd things from them. Like "The south was on the verge of developing nuclear weapons before they lost the civil war."

Many of them truly believe that the Clinton family has founded and runs a CP ring. Oh, and they regularly (like once or twice a year) have affairs with, and then murder, their assistants.

It's absurd - but they believe it, and they vote it.
>Given the quality of "mainstream" press recently, I don't really see how they corrupted it,

It's not true that integrated GPUs are just not powerful enough to run modern 3D games. They're not going to push the same qty of triangles that a discrete GPU will, but any commercial game understands that only a tiny segment of the market is going to be aware of that, and it degrades onto the lower-specced hardware, as the other poster is saying. I'm sure Witcher 3 is among them. If your game literally can't run on something that isn't DX12 or OGL 4.5 (i.e., latest-gen hardware) and at least a mid-range discrete GPU, you should absolutely make sure the consumer has every opportunity to be well aware of that prior to purchase.

It's also not a big deal as long as you refund the purchase. There's no reason not to refund it within the first 30 days / first few hours of play time if the consumer's PC can't run it. I'm not one of these people who believes that consumers are automatically entitled to refunds, and in fact I ran a service that offered no refunds due to the nature of the product, but refusing in the case of an incompatible PC, when you can see the consumer has hardly used the product and it's not past the return window, is just being asinine.

There's also no reason that Steam shouldn't be able to check your computer's specs before you install a game and see if they meet minimum requirements, and then give you a warning before you proceed if they don't. It'd be awesome if that warning automatically included a "Refund Me and Remove the Game from My Library" feature. It'd be even more awesome if Steam kept track of everything this happened on and offered you the same games at 20% off once it detected an upgrade. :)

Regardless, avoiding this confusion/complexity/consumer irritation is a large reason that consoles are more popular than PCs for everyone, from the developer to the retailer to the end user. Your standard consumer knows if they have a Xbox (or at least they did before there was the Xbox 1 and the Xbox One...), but they don't know if their GPU supports a certain API level or the difference between their low-end mobile nvidia GPU and a Titan X.
That's basically asking "why don't they just throw away all their social connections and uproot their lives more than they already are"? Where you live isn't just the building you inhabit.
