I think it could be more nuanced than that. You could trade that possible future value for good PR and public image, especially if you are fighting a lot of bad PR because of people's worries about that data. Putting a clause in without letting anyone know about it would be destroying the value, but if you attempt to capitalize the on public perception of the move I think it would be really hard to make a case that it was irresponsible without some corroborating evidence that nobody thought it would help.
Typical user doesn't need project generation for 10 different IDEs, OS and packages formats with multiple backends and built-in test support. If you drop half of features then I guess it's could actually become a lot more ergonomic, but in this case there likely tools with better support.

Real pain is that a lot of CMake features are badly documented and most of available information is outdated, but this is usual problem at least for open source C++ projects so it's doesn't cause a lot of frustration and no one try to fix it.
I'm not familiar with modern CPUs, but for the 6502 it just means that they aren't documented. This means that they could theoretically change in future versions or other implementations of the processor, that emulators may not emulate them, and that they may not be well tested or have surprising side effects. In the 6502 they are a side effect of how the processor is designed (see the page table.com article linked elsewhere in this thread) but may be able to do more work per clock cycle
Hands up who has looked at twitter, and thought, I know, that'll be a great place to put unlimited power?

I think it's extremely fair. "Unbreakable privacy" doesn't much matter if no one wants to use the system.
"Touchscreens in cars are horrible ux."

Indeed they are. When I'm driving, I need to be able to feel what I'm manipulating; I shouldn't have to take my eyes off the road (or if I do, it should be at an absolute minimum).

A screen on the dashboard controlled by physical buttons/knobs makes a lot more sense if a screen is really necessary. That way, even if I have to look at the screen, at least I can still peripherally see the road.
>> They are entirely about trust: How much does the company trust you to be able to act in its best interest and derive ROI from your org?

No, not really. Here are some example counterpoints:

- There is a commitment to hierarchy. This is incompatible with meritocracy. The fact is, there won't always be one "smartest" person at each company. Yet companies always find a way to make a pretty reporting tree.

- It's not about trust, mid-level-managers care more about their promotions not reflecting poorly on them politically than the best interest of the company in the long-term.

- Most companies will codify a standard "promotion process" with peer reviews and 2 "cycles" a year. If this is about ROI then Joe the freshman can be CTO if he's that good (and heck, he may be, if he's the next Larry Page), no matter what he rates on the 4 dimensions of reviews.

- Most companies adamantly follow standard norms. For example they do not demote people (i.e. with pay cut). A meritocracy (or a truly ROI based system) would demote people.

- Most companies base their pay on previous compensation, rather than expected worth.
They violate the Bogotá Instruction Set Convention of 1983 :)

In all seriousness, if, let's say a MIPS processor had a NAND instruction, that would be illegal because it does not adhere to the MIPS spec
It's a bit unexpected not to post the binaries signatures along with the downloads, given the motivation of the project..
You don't think that varies a lot by income? My impression is that savings as a percentage go up dramatically with income. I don't think I know anyone working in the industry that considers it reasonable to not max out their 401k, and who doesn't save substantially on top of that.

This would be quite difficult for someone on an average salary with kids, or sometime who works in an industry where keeping up appearances is important.
Genius is killing it. They bring more then just lyrics, and build a community. Something I failed in both.

But its always fun to remind them that Justin Bieber & Ed Sheeran are their top traffic sources.
every instruction set architecture has an encoding format and rules for how to encode every instruction, register, and memory address. it's usually the assembler's job to ensure this is done correctly and to the spec but there's tons of room for undefined behavior by doing it yourself and using a prefix on an instruction that doesn't support it, or just encoding an opcode that doesn't exist, etc.
> A good starting document is "Can Other Vendors Implement Microsoft's Office Open XML?" http://web.archive.org/web/20070912014933/http://www.hollowa....

Then let's start there! Let's start with the first section about Word Processing, in fact:

```
1.1. Historical Compatibility

OOXML contains compatibility markers to describe older legacy documents, their quirks and processing models. These compatibility features mark behaviours that software must implement to correctly display and process the majority of documents in existence.

The "Compability Settings" WordProcessingML4 section within OOXML does not provide for repeatable practices. While it provides Microsoft the ability to store information related to various behaviors in their legacy file formats, the specification merely lists the names of these settings without proper definitions. An OOXML-consuming application, presented with a document using these attributes, will be unable to interpret them properly and render the page in a high-fidelity manner. Further, since these attributes are merely listed but not defined, the ability to practice the benefit of being “fully compatible with the large existing investments in Microsoft Office documents” (the goal of OOXML according to its authors) is consequently reserved for Microsoft alone.

These behaviours such as “autoSpaceLikeWord95” , “useWord97LineBreakRules” and “useWord2002TableStyleRules” are not defined. As OOXML repeatedly states, [t]o faithfully replicate this behavior, applications must imitate the behavior of that application, which involves many possible behaviors and cannot be faithfully placed into narrative for this Office Open XML Standard.

These processing hints in the proposed standard depend on undisclosed information, and therefore other vendors cannot correctly process historical documents using OOXML.
This lack of specification has significant implications for the New Zealand public sector organisations operating under the Public Records Act who are seeking to preserve documents of their records in a readable electronic form.
```

I think that rather supports the claim that backwards compatibility is a problem for OOXML. I see no claim in there about any deliberate obfuscation.
> Why should I be worried if Amazon knows the distance between my couch and coffee table? Isn't our outrage better preserved for when our privacy is truly invaded?

This isn't thinking like a corporation, nor a hacker. This as an APT, information security-wise.

These kinds of grants of access to private data by consumers for monetization purposes are never, ever constrained to one highly-specific type of data. They want you to grant access to a data gathering CHANNEL. Once that channel is opened, any additional data they figure out how to gather falls under the same agreement you consented to before.

Today, it is room data. Tomorrow, it is dust and pollen collection data.

"So what, who cares, they can have measurements of how much dust and pollen is in my home, lol."

Yeah?

Exactly how much have you worked with the data brokering business? If you've been around the block in that part of the industry for any length of time, you quickly realize that it isn't single individual databases where the real bucks are made. It is novel combinations of datasets giving you a plausible explanation to draw inferences from the data.

Go back to the hypothetical dust and pollen measurement. Suppose the GOP loosens the restrictions on risk-pricing medical insurance plans; as long as an insurer can point to a plausible explanation of pricing factors, they can price it however they want above a baseline, but they don't have to make it easy for you to figure that out. Health insurer uses a study [1] to explain how certain levels of dust and pollen are correlated to X% increases in stress-related costs. They purchase the dataset from iRobot. Slap an X% increase onto your premiums, but you are none the wiser on exactly why, and especially where the substantiating data came from, "because it's a trade secret".

The practically non-existent privacy protections for American consumers is essentially a license to steal from them. The best part is you never have to be told who gave what information about you, and when. All this data gathering started out as a sales exercise only because that is the low-hanging fruit. The real prize is absolute control over all the decisions you will make that matter to the owners.

What are the best features specific to redfin? As a first time home buyer, I had a mostly painless buying process. I got an agent, looked up properties on a website specific to my state, called my agent, he set up a time to show. When I decided to buy, the agent set up a few choices for the mortgages, I got cleared with one of them, did the inspection, appraisal, and we proceeded with closing. Where does redfin fit in, in that process, that makes the experience better?
Isn't that going to spread smoke around and make the fire more dangerous? It would be better to just have smell emitters in every room.
Until a few minutes ago I had my BTC stored across bitstamp and kraken. I have just transferred all my remaining BTCs to kraken so I'll get whatever quantity of BCC i am due after the fork. Even if it's a very small quantity owing to a small number of miners switching to the BCC code, it doesn't seem fair that bitstamp would simply pocket the value (if my understanding is correct)
I guess a lot could be said these days about the profitability and future prospects of Spotify, but their music catalogue in the early days beta was at least partially sourced from Piratebay and other torrent sites. [1]

Considering the deals they later made with the record companies, it does indeed seem like asking for forgiveness rather than permission could be the best strategy, as was noted by some of the comments in this thread.

The title should be changed - it's about Czeslaw Milosz, not Oscar.

BTW, anyone who wants to experience some true literary and intellectual bliss, try Czeslaw Milosz's books and essays ("Captive Mind", "Native Realm", "Visions from the San Francisco Bay" or many others). Even his biography is utterly fascinating - it feels like he has experienced more during his lifetime than a dozen of your typical first-world pampered and bored office dwellers.
It seems like you could get a basic idea of what rooms are where just by looking the exterior of the house using satellite images, street view, or driving by a house. Also if your house has ever been listed for sale, there's likely pictures of the interior out on the web as well. Would the robot-generated maps provide much additional information to thieves?

Which is likely already available publicly along with many of the other things people are pointing out like square footage of a home.

And maybe you live in a much bigger place than I do, but a burglar isn't going to be planning to rob me like they are planning to steal the Mona Lisa from the Louvre. My house isn't that complicated, you don't need to spend much time planning when you can deduce a floor plan pretty quickly. It also isn't like a Roomba created floor plan would have any idea on where in my house the valuables are stored.

"CEOs should be honest. That seems obvious enough, but it turns out “be honest” is easy to say, but amazingly hard to do. Let’s look at some scenarios to understand why."

I don't really see a paradox/conflict here. All the scenarios are basically, the company isn't doing well, but saying so shows weakness. But in that case the bigger possible truth is that maybe the company is doomed and should be shut down. So it seems less a matter of telling the truth to others, and more of admitting it to yourself. If the company isn't doomed, if despite doing badly it has a path out, then that path is part of the truth you should tell employees, and if your assessment is correct they'll stay.
There doesn't have to be any bylaw changes, there just needs to be a contract with the customer regarding the usage of their data. One of the old fashioned kinds of contracts that doesn't allow one party to make unilateral changes to it. Then if they eventually do sell the data, they invite a class action lawsuit for breach of contract.
The paper only uses that phrase once, as a synonym for a non-existing instruction. It seems that refers to an instruction that the CPU will not execute, and which throws a #UD exception. Despite being illegal/nonexistent, these instructions still have a length, which is how many bytes the CPU decodes before it throws that exception. They can figure this out by placing an illegal instruction sequence at the end of a page, where the next page is marked as non-executable, and sliding it around. If the CPU tries to decode bytes on the next page, it throws #GP. Once you slide the instruction far enough to get a #UD instead, you know that the illegal instruction is that many bytes.

This is different from undocumented instructions, which are valid instructions that the CPU can actually execute, but which don't appear in the CPU's documentation. These may be instructions which were deliberately added as part of the design but which didn't make it into the documentation for whatever reason, or they may be an unintended consequence of other aspects of the CPU's design. (The 6502 famously has a lot of undocumented opcodes of the second kind, see http://www.pagetable.com/?p=39 for more info on those.)
I don't understand what you're saying. It sounds like you're saying the solution to corporate dishonesty is quitting?

The reason given for collecting such data is often, "for your protection" or a variant of, "to verify who you are."

> The alt-right folks are at-foremost constitutional conservative.

There is a subset of them that makes rhetorical gestures in that direction, but it's far from the whole, and even the subset that makes rhetorical gestures at the Constitution is quite selective in their concern.

And then there's the one like Theodore “Vox Day” Beale (who lays out what I think is one of the clearest articulations of alt-right philosophy without obfuscatory rhetoric designed to make it palatable to conventional society):

I think the old conservatives would do well to call themselves Constitutionalists, because it is obvious that the current batch don't give a damn about it. And neither do we of the #AltRight, because it is obvious that the Constitution has not only failed, completely, by its own stated purpose, but is today being used as a means of hand-cuffing the Right. The #AltRight believes in three things: 1.Nationalism. 2. Western civilization. 3. Winning.

Everything else is negotiable or a means to one of those three ends. We aren't conservatives. We aren't philosophers. And we don't care about the Constitution, the Rights of Man, the Enlightenment, the Holocaust, or anything else with capital letters that is likely to get in the way. [0]

> They can not be advocating for abolition of the constitution.

They certainly can be (and some quite clearly are, more to the point) advocating for it's abolition, or at least it being treated as a tool of convenience to be used only insofar as it furthers other goals and ignored/dismissed otherwise.

> This is a trait of the left who has no other wish than to eliminate Governemnt Constitutioal bound as well as the Bill of Rights (ie. no free speech, no right to self defense, no innocent before being proven guilty, no due process).

The right to self-defense is not an enumerated Constitutional right, though its a traditional legal privilege enshrined in both criminal common law and most statutes. It's notably (as an individual right) not referenced in the second amendment, which is unusual in that it does provide a justification for the legal right it protects.

All of the other points are points on which traditionally the conventional right has been weak and the conventional left stronger, though its true that neither has viewed “free speech” as unbounded which has resulted in some who do (or who at least have a more expansive view of the bounds) to challenge the conventional left as being opposed to it.

From the FAQ:

> 7. Your website indicates $.0039 per GB per month but the pricing comparison on the website indicates 1 TB is priced at $3.99 / month (instead of $3.90 / month for 1 TB). Why is that?

> The Wasabi monthly price is $.0039 GB / month. Given that there are 1024 GB in 1 TB (not 1000 GB), the price for 1 TB is $.0039 * 1024 or $3.99 per 1 TB per month.

Selling data requires having it.

Having it enables getting hacked.

Not selling data enables not having it in the first place, which eliminates the entire failure class of "getting hacked".

NB, and not specific to you, but I'm increasingly cognizant of the general inability (or unwillingness) of people to follow chains of reasoning forward, or in this case and more readily, backwards, to identify likely consequences and/or causal / contributory mechanisms, in even only modestly complex cases.

It gives me a great deal of concern over the creation of an even only modestly complex information infrastructure.
