Here is what developers want:

Platform independence
Choice of tools/language
Control of customer data
Hardware independence

Here is what corporate platform owners (Google, Apple, Microsoft, Amazon etc) want:

Platform lockin
Minimal support costs (one language, one SDK)
Control of customer data
Control of the ecosystem
Hardware independence
A vig on every transaction

There are very few intersections between the interests of developers and the interests of platform owners (be that Apple with iOS or MacOS, Google with Android, or MS with Windows). This is why the web will win IMO, it's one of the few platforms focussed on what customers and developers want, and not owned by a single corporation (though Google has come close).
I'm pretty much done with Facebook for good. They simply don't give a shit about the rampant racism, sexism, and homophobia going on all over their site. Reporting comments gets you nowhere. Calling out these idiots gets you banned. And now, come to find out, they're paying their moderators subsistence wages to do all the work of policing the place. I'm moving on.
I want to be one person to offer to help me in any meaningful way I can. I'm deeply familiar with being in a situation where everyone says someone ought to do something about it, often followed with "but that's just the way things are." It's especially frustrating coming from people who objectively can help and choose not to.

I've been in the same boat as you: frustrated, scared, and broke. I'm also guessing you're feeling a bit lonely & desperate?

I'm still broke and looking for work. I also have my own ideas I'm pursuing and would love help with. I think some of my stuff could be relatively easy to get funding for, too. If you're interested in talking to me about them or anything else you'd like to be heard on, my contact info is in my profile.

With respect to why these systemic problems go addressed and why people who say there needs to be change aren't stepping up, I think it boils down to how complex the general situation is and how difficult compassion can specifically be when it involves talking action. The general problem requires the ability to think in a way that at least includes:

- Seeing past notions of good & evil
- Designing a system using nonviolent principles
- Accounting for 1st-7th person perspectives (hierarchical levels of humanity's dynamic system)

The problem of helping you specifically is society teaches us to want to help without really teaching us how to. I'd say we're pretty much taught to do the opposite, most of the time. Behaviors are like beliefs: they can't be removed without having something to replace them with. I've had to learn to very specifically request things I want from others without expecting them to provide it. This is definitely a skill and it takes potentially painful work to develop. It's also worth the effort.

I hope you find what you need and will reach out to me, even if simply for mutual support.
I didn't read the comment you're responding to, but auditory input is an important part of a drivers toolset. I often hear an ambulance before I see it, sound helps diagnose if I have a flat tire or whenI need to change gears. Heck, car horns communicate information only through sound.

"Opening doors" goes beyond getting a job.
I think that the police should protect Americans in these sorts of situations, but in this case they were just plain outnumbered and outgunned. Our police are not all-powerful and sometimes they can be taken by surprise and find themselves at a tactical disadvantage. I expect police to do dangerous things in the course of their job, but I don't expect them put themselves into a situation of near-certain death. I don't know what their training is, but I wouldn't be surprised if one of their guidelines for escalating violence is don't do if you're probably going to be on the losing end of that exchange.

The thing that bugs me isn't the police response, it's that there seems to have been no consequences for the Turkish embassy or our relationship with Turkey. Maybe a row of tanks parked on the lawn would have been needlessly dramatic, but at least it would have sent a clear message and escalated force in such a way that Erdogan's security forces would have been at a tactical disadvantage.

So far it seems the Trump administration's response is that this was just a normal day (and we're left with the general impression that there may have been a few fist-bumps and high-fives in private).
Hacks to Whiten Your Teeth All Revealed
Apparently it was. Just because it didn't monetize well doesn't mean it wasn't doing what it meant to well. Investors were surely disappointed but the userbase got exactly what it wanted and the app served its purpose very well.

The ROI for investors isn't a metric of actual performance. Truthfully basically any monetization method besides random ads or a shop would have killed YikYak just as other non-core features did, and those as well probably would have done it. All change the dynamic of the community in interactions for the worse.

Maybe there were no relatives living in the same city. Maybe living relatives are all estranged. Maybe they have their own catastrophic troubles which make it infeasible to help.

If not for this individual, then for others. Statistically, going to jail will cause severe dislocation and disruption at least some of the time. Fragile circumstance are fragile.
I think what he's more talking about is something more akin to a distributed search system than a blockchain - you could make the magnet links last forever in a blockchain, but that doesn't really make sense if no one holds the files anymore you're just keeping useless links around and storing them on every single node for no reason.

A search DHT makes much more sense, look up keywords based on hash. Think the Kademlia network from the ED2K days. Maybe I'm being too academic by even suggesting a DHT be used, you could do it in simpler ways like flood search in the style of Gnutella - any distributed search means would work really.

I believe there are a few attempts at this in the bittorrent world, like Tribler, which is probably the most practical implementation to date, there's a few others too, none of which look particularly mature yet:

https://sourceforge.net/projects/aresgalaxy/editorial/?sourc...
https://github.com/lmatteis/torrent-net
https://github.com/boramalper/magnetico

The problem with distributed search is that perfecting it is hard - bittorrent has won out because websites could be used to prevent spamming of malware, track reputation and discussion of torrents and individuals, etc. Tribler has some proposed alternatives here and I seem to remember Kad having done a decent job preventing this from becoming a significant problem, but it never had the popularity.

If someone manages to knock out all the big torrent and usenet indexes overnight, these systems will become a lot more necessary and probably get a lot more popular.
Wow you really believe Poland is some third world country where we ride horses to our farms?

No, I was in Poland just last week in fact.

But my point stands: BA's own staff have been operating its systems for decades. No matter how good you are solving made-up puzzles on Hackerrank, you can't match that experience of those systems overnight. There would have been people at BA who'd been working on say the reservation system for 30+ years - and you're claiming your "hacker rank" can beat that. And THAT is why outsourcing always fails, that kind of belief.

Apologies if that seems a bit harsh, but the assertion that "we do well on Hackerrank therefore we are as qualified to maintain legacy systems as their original authors" just doesn't make sense.
The goal is to work with all iOS accessibility features. You can see our open accessibility issues here:

Notice that there are several open issues relating specifically to iOS accessibility features.

Accessibility is not complete yet, but it is definitely not forgotten.
The pay is decent enough. But the job description for a kid straight out of college, filtering disturbing videos is not something I would recommend. And imagine doing this for 6 days per week with a quota. And you get fired for not getting the quota.

This terror, fake news, live disturbing videos has been going on for Facebook for years now, I think they should have developed some kind of machine learning to at least detect and reduce a sort of percentage than get this fresh college kids to filter them. Instead they prioritize releasing new emotions stickers and transforming their messenger to a Snapchat clone.
With all due respect I would never hire someone who has been arrested for meth and heroin because it screams potential problems. Regardless of why you may take them they still affect you in the same way they affect a recreational user. All the meth users I have known have become erratic, depressed and eventually stopped and recovered or spiralled out of control. Heroin less so depending on the consistency and quality of supply, consumption methods and ability to service the addiction. The cost of a bad hire is too much. Business is hard enough when you have the perfect team so any signal that an employee may be difficult is enough to turn employers off. This isn't about your technical abilities.

My advice, given your considerable experience, would be to start your own business or if you can't validate any solid ideas start a consultancy. It's highly unlikely your consultancy clients will look up your record.
Decades? We are talking here about 2-3 years lag due to conservatist approach. You seem to know nothing about what you write.

You think the core systems of major airlines or any other large org turnover every 2-3 years? You think knowing the syntax of a particular language is comparable to decades of domain knowledge? You think that ANY 20-something, anywhere in the world, has decades of experience of anything??

No, YOU know nothing about what you write.
If its like the outsourced firms I've worked with at my employers, unless you make specific clauses in your contract about how the employees of your contractor will be treated, the managers of these would just pocket any money given to treat the employees better and continue on as normal
This game needs lots more education and explanation. Through the levels, I understood reasonably well how polarization works, but interference is still a complete mystery, and I haven't been able to get past level 25 (interfrenzy).

If someone plays past the first few levels, you can be quite sure he/she is not afraid of some explanation about how stuff actually works, and having that would have made the game a lot more fun for me.

Also, in the Sagnac-Michelson-Morley level, you're supposed to place a "Sagnac-interfRerometer" somewhere (hint: it's the vacuum jar, and that's a different thing). ;)

Not sure anyone claimed otherwise.
The Enterprise Edition is not AGPL. It's under one of "Neo4j Commercial License", "Neo4j Evaluation License", "Neo4j Educational License", or "Fair Trade Licensing". In other words it's not free.
Why would I want to use the "Community Edition" of a company whose interest is to force me into buying their Enterprise Edition? The more people use this "Community Edition", and the more they are encouraged to force their "Enterprise Edition" under my throat, because "it will be easier to buy a proprietary plugin than change database". They are already restricting the use of important features such as "Unlimited graph size", "Database storage reallocation", "Schema constraints", "Runtime to accelerate common queries", "Role-based security", "Kerberos Security", "Load balancing", etc. Why would I want to get into this?! I'd rather spend my time learning and contributing to Jena or Janus than a bait "Community Edition".
I've got nothing against b-corps. In fact, I think they should be the default corporate form rather than one you need to opt into with specific language in the articles of incorporation (as in Delaware). But b-corps are still owned by investors. They are legally entitled to take into account considerations other than maximizing shareholder return. Whether they do or not is a separate matter; they are not obligated (although this can depend on state and type of entity, I believe). They receive funding as investments (with expectation of returns) rather than donations. Again, no problem with that as such. But if my choice is between government operated petition site and a petition site accountable to private investors (even if a b-corp), I wouldn't reflexively favor the latter.
Nice

I enjoyed the read!
I think there's an important difference in requirements for engineers: an artificial system shouldn't need years and years of constant training. Sure, we make do with two eyes and ears but if I need to check my blind spot, I still need to turn my head, taking my eyes off where I'm going.
Is he being serious when he says he only has one test case? That really doesn't seem like a reasonable thing to do. Furthermore, would a recursive implementation of Fibonacci even benefit from multithreading?
Labels for supervised training tend to come from humans in the loop. I think many would consider another human looking at their photos, searches, etc. To be a loss of privacy albeit with a small surface area.

Saying that computer science is not about computers is an insightful thing to say. It is good to try to understand why someone would say something like this.

But it is not the only perspective one can take. Allen Newell, Alan J. Perlis, and Herbert A. Simon argue that computer science is the study of computers [1]. I think this is also an insightful thing to say, and it is good to try to understand why they would say that.

And even if I disagreed with them, I still wouldn't dismiss all writings of three (!) Turing-award winners based on a single wrong opinion.

It's installed apps on devices == deployed. That's a reasonable number at those scales.
If it helps, when I said "parable" I had no idea that Jesus would in any way be implied. I had never even heard of his parables before your reply.

I actually replied to you ask who you were referring to, since I had no idea, but then another comment said who it was so I deleted my reply.

I clearly am never going to be able to use the word "parable" again. I'll say fable from now on, even though fables have animals in them, not humans.
It's a partial gallery and keep in mind it's installed apps. There aren't 180M apps in existence so interpreting that number in that way wouldn't make sense...
> assuming that a certain process is followed

The challenge is to avoid pushing all the risk into that assumption. It's easy enough to build a system that never breaks if you're willing to assume perfect behaviour on the part of its dependencies, environment, users and operators.

In the context of the current thread, your handle is cool too!! As I recall, the code for up to INT 19H (or 20?) was stored in the ROM BIOS and for INT 21H and up, in the hidden system files (io.sys/msdos.sys) which would get loaded just before command.com at boot.

Well, a perspective contains a position (i.e. an opinion), but it also has sensory information; a perspective sees something, hears something, feels something, etc. Whereas an opinion on its own doesn't have an experience associated with it; it's just a data point. To extend the analogy, a perspective connects the points and makes some sort of smooth line; a perspective has derivatives/directions, and the possibility of movement, whereas opinions don't.

Practically, the difference between perspectives and opinions is itself a matter of perspective. E.g., take the sentence "You make my stomach churn". In a figurative sense, it's an opinion on a person and not really generalizable beyond the speaker. But if we take it literally, we can go down from the brain and into the body of the speaker, looking at some medical pages like https://health.clevelandclinic.org/2016/05/stomach-churning-..., and get the perspective: adrenaline rush, sore stomach, anxious mind, etc. Particularly with text, you can consider it in two ways: as a performative utterance, the act of a human writing/speaking said text, or as a declarative bit of data, some sequence of bytes generated by a hidden process.

That's no different from the problems you need to engineer around in a CCD or CMOS - stuff like dark current, shot noise, read noise, RGB filters effectively dividing resolution by 3, an upper limit on integration time which is almost the same as "sensor zeroes out if exposed to the same color for ten seconds".

OTOH, the eye's selective resolution and instant slew+focus of the high resolution spot together give it an effective resolution north of 600 megapixels. The auto-exposure is also pretty bad ass.
I had high hopes for flutter but gave up after a while. It feels like their design meetings were spent arguing about grammar and splitting hairs, rather than thinking about ergonomics and how people would use it.

In Flutter, everything is a nested pile of objects with too many APIs to keep track of. Take this example: https://github.com/flutter/flutter/blob/master/examples/stoc...

Why do I need to care if something takes a `child: (single object)` argument or a `children: [LIST of objects]`?

Flutter would be better with JSX: JSX hides how the puzzle pieces fit together. I don't care if it takes a child or children; just make everything connect the same way.

React Native's Flexbox also beats how Flutter did things. Why do I need to memorize which objects take which styling arguments? You want to center items on the screen? Re-nest everything inside a Center object! You want a column or a row of elements? Use a Column/Row object!

For a framework that's trying to bill itself as a great tool for prototyping, it feels like I'm sifting through a mountain of minutiae. I was able to guess my way through a React Native app and be right 99% of the time. With flutter, my luckiest guess would lead me to an abstract base class... Then I'd have to dig around to figure out what the hell I need to use to make a view scrollable. Seriously:

A GHOSTLY TRUE STORY
> Your quote does not directly support mass surveillance.

It doesn't need to. I wanted to point out that mass surveillance is one of the costs of terrorism, regardless of its effectiveness in fighting it. And that we know little about its effectiveness because presumably there is lots of top secret stuff going on. Surely they don't want ISIS to know which channels are compromised and how, which means you can't know too.
I'm sympathetic, but saying that working six days a week (which MANY Americans do) is "modern slavery" seems like quite a stretch.
Theoretically you only need one camera - there's plenty of people who've lost sight in one eye that learn how to drive and get their drivers licence.

There are lots of discussions and explanations of what it means to be "Bayesian," but I think the best thing to do is jump in and start building models. That is how I came to understand the utility of Bayes.

If you're looking for a place to start I'd go to Andrew Gelman's introduction for the Stan Language:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T1gYvX5c2sM

There are Stan implementations in R, Python, Julia or you can run it in C++ since it's written in C++. I think this has greater potential to change how we deal with the unknown than AI or other machine learning.
I cannot remember the ratios or even if they mentioned it.

I'd guess they started with a little saltwater in the rations and increased as they sailed.

Human visual hardware isn't very good. Slow integration time, very small (~10 degree) high-resolution area with mediocre resolving power (~1moa). Good dynamic range, but more than is really necessary for driving. A few tricks like ocular microtremors.

Everything else you said is a factor of software, not hardware.

Perhaps don't be so condescending unless you actually have a really good point. You don't need to know much about biology to point out that humans get by without very fancy sensor hardware.

The "deal" that Jordan Peterson makes with you if you accept his "pitch" loosely is: "if you find your psyche's blind-spots, and work on those underdeveloped components of your inner self, you will gain control of your life. [also, that people build their self-image on top of unsound moral foundations; postmodernism, belief in utopia, demonizing hierarchy, ...]"

I find Peterson's thinking easy to listen to, but I wanted to figure out "OK, but this guy seems kinda.. slick?.. and if this all makes sense and sounds fairly easy, why does it sound too-good-to-be-true? What's the catch?" Detangling charisma from the contents, etc.

So, in that same spirit of seeking difficult blind spots, I liked this video [0] that gives an interesting critique (both agree/disagreement) perspective of Peterson's approach. Admittedly, the part where Lain compares the bodycounts of communism to capitalism is kinda weak because it's an appeal to hypocrisy. It doesn't matter too much because Lain explains that Peterson's understanding of Marxism prevents him from seeing it as anything but an oppression fetish.

The important part is the description of capitalist realism. It's the idea that capitalism is itself normalized to the point that it becomes a massive blind spot which, like a propagating 'meme', distorts the ideas of what is possible. Reading the book Capitalist Realism by Mark Fisher (only 80 pgs) changed my life, for what it's worth. Public PDF here if you want to check it out [1].

Imagine this is your only impression of the west- you go to work and get to see 4chan as a constant stream on a daily basis, without the larger context.

My argument is that this outsourcing has a hidden cost, of radicalizing a anti-western, anti-captialistic youth wherever it happens. This is not just some shit-job exported- this is a problem creator at its finest.

This is hurting progress in this countrys. This is supporting religions who where constantly in decline. Sorry facebook, this might be a solution for you, but for the rest of humanity, this is a problem.
