Another benefit of talking to oneself is to find out who's listening in on your computer/phone microphone, or bugs in the apartment. By saying different things to oneself in different locations, one can hone in which locations are being surveilled. I discovered when I lived in Melbourne Australia and again in China that there's plenty of people around with nothing better to do with their time.
Seriously?! Man, dealing with time can just never be simple...

That is correct behaviour. Time zone information is a presentation detail.
Facebook does this partly: Each “Application” has an associated API version which is the earliest API version that can be accessed (and IIRC the one used implicitly when no version is given inside the route).
I see. Very interesting if true.
1 ) Banning past salary inquiries allows more rapid increases in salary, thus accelerating a trend induced by other factors of a shrinking gender gap. This is also why you should always refuse to reveal your past salary.

2 ) Assertive behavior like refusing to reveal past salary is viewed (consciously or unconsciously) as a positive trait in men and a negative one in women. This puts women at a disadvantage during salary negotiations generally, and specifically when asked to provide information that will prevent them from entering a position with a higher salary.
I guess we just don't agree on that.

To me unlimited is impossible right off the bat if you want to take it literally (there must be some finite limit to how much free storage Amazon has). Both sides in the agreement have some definition of unlimited that is less that unlimited, and to me hosting TBs of pirated content and porn is going past what a reasonable definition of unlimited and turning into abuse. If only the minority of users with legitimate TBs of data of their own creation to back up had used it I doubt AWS would have had trouble profiting without storage limits. But with people abusing it (or using it as piracy storage or mass internet backups if you want to claim that's not abuse) I don't see why they shouldn't have put an end to the plan.

I can relate in the multi-step process part. I tend to speak out loud to stop my thoughts from bouncing from point to point. The result is usually a more cohesive set of steps to achieve success on something.

It makes me wonder if this is part of why journaling has mental health benefits. Maybe the act of journaling introduces this same objectivity and thus improves thinking about a subject? E.g., the benefits described in Journaling about stressful events: Effects of cognitive processing and emotional expression [0]?

Yes! Range types should absolutely be in here. I had them as one of the top items in a recent post so thought it'd be a bit repetitive[1], but in retrospect, it should absolutely be here as well.

Transactions are strictly serialized; the paper explains how this works the best: https://fauna.com/pdf/FaunaDB-Technical-Whitepaper.pdf

We use a single-phase model inspired by Calvin, rather than Spanner's two-phase model. The tradeoff is that interactive transactions (like in SQL) are not supported, but overall latency and throughput are much better.
In the case of "let x = &xs[i]" it would immutably borrow. But we'd need more MIR optimizations to make use of that fact.
"There, in fact, is a still-hunting debate about whether the Paris Accord is a treaty in Constitutional terms"

No, there isn't. As someone once said, the Constitution is written in language so clear that it requires a lawyer to misunderstand it.

Let us suppose that a school is having a class trip. Going on the trip requires the student to sign up and also to get the consent of his parents.

Arguing that the Paris accord is a "treaty" is like arguing that a student should get to go on the trip simply because he signed the sheet, even though his parents have not granted permission. That would be an idiotic and/or dishonest interpretation, and anyone who makes that argument is not "debating" under any reasonable interpretation of that term.

There are also some points to be made about what this says about the character of the student who signs the sheet when he knows full well that his parents are never going to grant permission, but we'll just leave that off to the side.
I uh..... I've always been talking to myself when I'm not talking to other people.....

I didn't know it was unusual....
Yes.

I don't think it is common to have a Google Document for just a note, or even a collection of notes (it is not clear from the example videos if your thing will replace the entire doc with the text said or if it will add it to the bottom of the doc).

This is something that fits better into other apps that have small collections of notes as their primary data type.

Or sliding left/right. I've seen that too.

Makes sense. Do we know if KBFS is deemed cryptographically secure? I haven't kept up on it.
You have expressed my current assessment of the situation so well, mad props.

To the OP, "combating" these tsunamis-that-already-happened is akin to various other (past or ongoing) "wars on intents"/ideas (won't name them here to not derail but insert any of the various "war on XYZ" memes that have been floated for the past century+ where XYZ is not a specifically identifiably nation or group) --- unwinnable.
I really cannot agree with you. I still don't see anything that affects using OS X as a Unix station. It works just as well as it did before. And I've never had an issue with SIP.

I don't understand why this comment is downvoted. These are features of central planning of the entire economy that are not going to go away just because the planners have better computers that can do fancier math with strong artificial intelligence. The article even explicitly discusses some of these problems, which is why it's TL;DR is merely "maybe" and not "LET'S DO IT!"

Those of you who are enamored with the idea that it's all going to play out differently just because you can give everybody smartphones should at least acknowledge that you're advocating for a system that has devolved to unpleasant tyranny every time that it has been tried, and at least attempt to explain how the technology you're love is going to make those problems go away.
How did you find out you were being surveilled?
There is an authenticated pub-sub in the works for IPFS. The idea being that only the holder of a given private key can publish updates to something (nodes would just refuse to propagate anything else).
And what did you discover in Australia and China? Who was listening in, how, and why?
No, time zones are a specific geo region that follows a certain time standard. The standard has a relative reference to UTC but that reference may change, either regularly or randomly.

Eastern Time Zone is a single time zone, that has different offsets depending on season, formally referred to as EDT and EST to make it easier to identify as daylight or standard references to UTC.

Even regions within the same time zone don't follow the standard exactly, so Panama does not observe daylight saving time while New York does. This is why we have even more granular settings used for calendars and dates.
It is worth remembering the The Intercept used to (still does?) work with and publish material from a Oracle-funded nonprofit that existed for the sole purpose of creating bad PR for Google:

https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2016/08/anti-google-rese...
"Just the facts" journalism was always a myth, because journalists inherently choose which facts to report.

IMHO The Intercept has been pretty up-front about their POV: they're supposed to be the publication that speaks truth to power, meaning that they're opposed to basically all big institutions (Google, Facebook, big corporations, establishment media, both political parties, the government, all governments, etc.) If you share their POV, of course they're the heroic good guy. If you don't, they can be kinda annoying.

Even if you don't fully share their POV, though, it can be good to read them to get a diverse array of POVs. I'm an ex-Googler, so of course I found their anti-Google bias a bit grating. Nevertheless, I'm glad I read it, because it was informative and offers a perspective that other mainstream news sources are not reporting on.

For me and my students -- we always use a google login. With 35 students all using 4 or 5 online services each with a login....

There is no way we can keep control of all those separate login details. There needs to be a central control over login.

Sure, login details are pretty old skool bonkers.

I'm going to get downvoted to oblivion, but in the real world where I have to hand a class of 35 students over to another teacher and they need to have confidence that all 35 can log in and complete the lesson.

Repeat this across all classes and all years. That's a lot of users.
I like to talk out loud/to my self in a way in which I'm having a conversation with future me who's solved the problem I'm currently going over. I talk to key points around the problem and the solution and have a conservation about how it worked and what it did... essentially I try and establish a theory about what the future might look like around that problem set should I implement solution X.
It doesnt have to be rules, time zones have relative and changing references against UTC, for example daylight saving time which is 2x per year in the US.

Any new piece of tech can do it. Facebook's last existential threat was mobile, and they seemed to handle that well. But it doesn't mean they will handle the next, and the next, and the next well, too. Each step is a place they can stumble.
Monopolistic behavior. Lots of products can only be bought from a couple of companies. Competition need not apply.

Even in a competitive market place they can collectively decide to overcharge the same customers.
Well, it is not good to do Proof-of-Work in the browser. It's inefficient and people will not keep mining if they have very small chances of getting a block.

I don't know how this could be solved, maybe you should experiment with other forms of ledger consensus that would fit better in a browser environment and at the same would not exclude normal people from participating in benefit of specialized miners.

The network part of this thing is amazing by itself.
How much should you pay for that endorsement? Normally, you'd pay based on how many people see the ad. That, then incentives lying about how many people saw the ad, or creating fake views with bots. To deal with that, you add in Javascript that checks if the ad is genuinely visible and, try to validate that they aren't a bot, and whatever other fakery they try.

Adding a layer on top of that, people generally have a target audience, so if you want them as a customer, you might have to inject some more Javascript to determine if the user is part of the target audience.

And pretty soon the site is full of tracking beacons and blobs of JS.

That article is about the Google Transparency Project, which is a separate organization from The Intercept. Think of GTP as being a PR firm and The Intercept as being a publication. PR firms work to place sources & articles with publications that they feel will be friendly to their message, but the publication itself is a separate organization that reports on many topics besides what the PR firm wants.
Because product sales are likely to be irrelevant.

Think of this company as a future acquihire for someone like LG who needs a better flagship phone or for companies who wish to have an experienced, design-savvy team capable of delivering on IoT and mobile products. Or there is even a free letter over in the Alphabet company for an in-house hardware player comparable to Microsoft's Surface strategy.
Even when I'm not actually speaking out loud, I find that my thoughts often act very similarly: I'm usually having a conversation with myself. And I'll try to crack myself up, or reference movie quotes, or break into a song or dramatic monologue.

FaunaDB Serverless Cloud remains the only {hosted|SaaS} multi-master, globally-distributed cloud database?

I don't really like those either.

Just something that says "you don't have to set this up for yourself like Cassandra or Riak."

Although that reminds me that you can get a turnkey Riak setup, so your claim is still a bit dubious.

I now get what you're trying to say though. That you guys host a multi-master database, and with all your competitors, you have to run infrastructure. I'm not quite sure how to express that succinctly.
Honestly? I'm not doing a damn thing. Forgive me for this, but the internet has been a walled garden for some time now, and the vast majority of humans just don't care. I haven't seen anything that's going to change that. The Internet requires a login, and your privacy being dead is a foregone conclusion.

It's easy to trash Facebook, but clearly it provides an insane amount of utility, and people aren't willing to stop using it because of others saying that en masse that is bad for a hypothetical Internet they never really took part in anyway.

IMO the focus should be getting the government to keep its hands off of it. That's not only more possible, but infinitely more important than not letting Facebook try to show us the right ads.
The Intercept has a viewpoint, and they're expressing it. That's kinda what we do on the internet.

Software is easy to copy and replace. There's little, if any, monopolization of software technology resources. Software doesn't require huge investment/over-head like oil industry. I don't think FB/Google/etc. provide much of anything (or of high value like oil) that is not already replaceable by million other alternatives. One of their key business model is selling ads spaces, but adblocks are also on the rise.

I wouldn't bet too highly on those services.
If I say something out loud I usually realize much quicker if it makes sense or not. The act of vocalizing a thought triggers a second check whether or not I'm making a fool of myself, and quite often it turns out that I am!
I don't know if there's been a formal audit, but they've published an overview of their cryptographic methods and practices [1].

That is another UX quandary. A lot of the problems I mentioned in my OP would go away if everyone used the standard two finger twist gesture on the screen to 'turn' it up or down.

However, if I try and use thumb and forefinger as normal, I cannot get my thumb especially to stay in skin contact with the screen easily - the nail comes into play, losing the double touch on the screen.

Using forefinger and middle finger together works better, but makes twisting past a 180 degree turn very difficult.

By far, the better solution is the car audio control I posted elsewhere in this thread, which uses multiple finger PLUS slide gestures - but that UI can take up the whole screen just to manipulate a single parameter.

Industry-specific software is also really bad for this. So is university software. Basically anything where the purchasers never use the software, so there's no real incentive to improve.
Yes but food for example is a thing markets work great on, there's pricing transparency and it's easy to switch suppliers and shop for better prices. The same cannot be said for healthcare for example where it's pretty clear markets fail precisely because it's nigh impossible to do those things. Central planning works well when markets can't. No one is going to shop for the best emergency room price while having a heart attack, nor can you even get transparent pricing from hospitals; you can't know what you owe until after you've have the services performed because they can't know up front what services you're going to require.
Market clearing prices can strongly favor one party or another, depending on the information asymmetries present.
I love how this story fits well into our currently economic ideology of vast wealth inequality, evaporating pensions, vanishing healthcare, crumbling infrastructure, labor with no pricing power, etc.
Whitebox cryptography isn't enough in this case. Since it protects the keys you'd be able to keep them from being used but it wouldn't protect your data itself while you're encrypting it. To really be secure against something like this you'd need to be using Homomorphic encryption and processing your data without ever decrypting it.

While I agree with the other replies, using a smallint would assume all timezones are offset in hourly increments, which isn't the case.
When writing SO questions I tend to only press the submit button 5–10% of the time before realising my error (typically something mundane). The act of putting the problem into words, along with writing up a good background of the problem (as you should for a good question) often forces an objective viewpoint/reevaluation of the problem.
Treat it as if you're going up to a roulette table in a casino and putting it all on 3. In other words, don't expect to see this money ever again. You may get a huge payout but you probably won't.

I just finished reading this a few days ago. It's an interesting read in the general sense. But don't go in expecting a book full of deep technical details on AI, or anything that truly answers the most profound questions about the future of "man and AI". It's pretty much what you'd expect: a book that talks about AI and the future in not overly technical terms (for the most part), written by a very smart man who was world chess champion for a long time, and who had a unique position to develop perspective on AI and its relationship with humanity.

It's also not a book that explores chess in deep technical detail either, although there is a lot of information on chess, especially the history of computer chess and "man vs machine" chess competitions - the latter of which predate the "Kasparov vs. Deep Blue" match by quite some time.

There is quite a bit of detail on the (in)famous Deep Blue match, and Kasparov does seem a bit contrite regarding some of the things that were said in the immediate aftermath of that match. If you're not familiar with the history there, let's just say that Kasparov was a bit harsh towards IBM and the Deep Blue team afterwards, and said some things that were taken as inflammatory. Some of them seemed to constitute at least a semi-veiled suggestion of cheating on the part of Deep Blue, if not an outright accusation.

Anyway, if you're interested in the history of computer chess, or specifically interested in the Kasparov vs. Deep Blue match, this book is definitely for you. If you want a sort of general viewpoint on the future of the relationship between humankind and AI, in not overly technical terms, this is likely for you. Otherwise, there may not be much in it to capture your interest.
