Back when I was streaming games on Twitch I cared a lot about my followers count. When you only have 10 followers and all of a sudden someone unfollows it's kind of a big deal, especially if you're trying to grow your followership.
I usually spent some time checking my followers list to find out _who_ unfollowed me.

To save me the hassle I developed Unfollow (https://www.unfollow.io). You sign up, connect your Twitch account and it starts tracking your unfollowers and notifies you.

I didn't develop this because I want to encourage people to care about their unfollowers. It's about curiousity. The curiosity about this person who's not following you anymore. I hope the tool can help people satisfy this curiosity.

>I was wondering, how did you determine your criteria for matching

Yeah, the query image is broken into a number of fragments and then the hash of each fragment/triangle is checked against the hashes stored in the database using a nearest neighbor search (well you find any neighbors within a certain distance/threshold, I found a hamming distance of 8 to be a pretty good threshold).

Currently only one fragment of the query image needs to match a database image for the images to be considered a match. You could also put some threshold on the number of fragments that need to match but this is only a proof of concept I haven't had time to find the perfect combination yet.

>could this be extended to colour transformations

Yeah, actually after you have re-transformed the triangles to be equilateral you can apply a lot of other techniques to future improve the search. You can even use NON-affine transformation partial image matching on the triangles to match fragments that only partially match fragments stored in the database.

The biggest problem I have with videos on Facebook is that specific video posts are often impossible to find later and very difficult to share. A trivial tasks like posting a funny video to a group chat I have with friends can be sometimes very frustrating.
I'm not seeing the relevance of your rhetorical question here. My point was that it's weird to measure institutional discrimination over millennia since most institutions that matter in the modern era aren't that old. So you're either mashing multiple institutions together and ignoring their cultural differences or the premise needs to be refined more.

I believe this was deliberate - it was a way to keep parents out and keep it appealing to teens. It is like slang, it changes every generation so that teenagers have a private language which their parents and teachers are excluded from.

Whether it was a good idea or not, I don't know. But I believe that was their thinking at least.

But the point of the original "manifesto" was that google makes the claim that uneven distribution of men and women is due to discrimination, and the "manifesto" explains how a 100% fair and non-discriminatory selection process may result in uneven results.

In that case, there's no reason to assume discrimination unless it's proved.

> Which said unnamed executive should have known was patently unreasonable to expect to be received and read in time.

As others have mentioned, this is Defcon - it's very common for folks (myself included) to go dark while on premises. At one company I worked for that was actually handed down in the form of policy & attendance guidelines.

Not only that but the executive in question was physically present and watching the talk. If this was so critical as to warrant the immediate termination of two senior team members, then I have to believe it was critical enough to go talk to them immediately prior or even during the talk if necessary.

The entire chain of events makes no logical sense, and does not inspire much faith in the Salesforce executive team.

> This discussion is one level higher, it is about the freedom of the creator to choose a license for his software.

In part only. You cannot ignore the freedom of whoever that choice of licence affects.

We already have restrictions over deals one can make. Stuff like "Grab this gun and kill yourself on camera for the enjoyment of our snuff movies fans. In exchange, your family will get $1M." Sure, it sounds extreme, but many people would give their lives for their family, and I'm sure some sick powerful people take advantage of this.

Which leads to my next point:

> The buyer has the freedom to reject the deal.

Not really.

There's a point where the actual choice is between using such and such spying service or proprietary software, or stop participating in society altogether.

Don't want your position to be tracked at all times? Imagine your life without a cell phone. Many people would lose friends if they quit Facebook —if only because they would no longer receive their messages.

The real reason why so many people are using proprietary software is because they don't have a choice. Microsoft Word is a prime example: everybody uses it, so everybody else has to use it.

---

No matter how you cut it, freedoms conflict. You cannot maximise the freedom of the provider without sacrificing the freedom of consumers. More generally, you cannot maximise the freedom of anyone without sacrificing the freedom of everyone else —if only by a little bit.

That's freedom's most basic principle: one's freedom stops at others'. One way or another, there's a limit. The question is where we should put that limit.
Yep, I've spent days tweaking and optimising the starting few worlds of SpaceChem to get solutions which are most optimal. The only disappointing thing is that you can only save one solution to each challenge, so it means you need to pick a solution that is either the fastest or the one with the fewest elements. Luckily they have fixed it with Infinifactory.

There is indeed a set of contracts with the property that banning them makes people more free. This set is non-empty.

But the argument still needs to be made that proprietary software licences are part of that set.
I don't see why keyed archiver wouldn't work with swift. I've implemented identical systems in C++ with no dynamic features. Or you can just use JSON serialization for offline storage. I pretty much never use core data. Don't get why people use it so much. On iOS you are a single user of your data so you can easly rely on a combination of plain files for storage. I've seen how Java devs go crazy using core data to just store a few hundred bytes of data. I think people overcomplicate storage 90% of the time.
My experiences of UK large company HR departments was basically that they were the hit squad - if they were in the building then you knew someone was in major trouble.

I had an interesting experience a couple of years back when everyone in our office was called to a surprise meeting with HR except me.... I had already resigned, everyone else got the bullet in that caring way that HR departments are famous for.
I liked HRM, the story was a nicely quirky, and so far to date it's the only game for which I have 100% achievements for. The only thing it was quite annoying to write the code for the later levels since you couldn't see enough of the screen, so I ended up exporting to text and using a normal text editor to edit before reimporting.

> It literally goes back to Plato and arguments about how you can be free if you're not free to make other people slaves.

He may have been the first (recorded) philosopher to make that point. But he's not exactly the last to think about this, and the enlightenment was largely about finding a good answer to it.

Basically (hyper-abridged version), the answer is self-ownership, and self-ownership precludes selling yourself into slavery, because once you've sold yourself, you don't own yourself and therefore cannot accept consideration for the sale, which then is invalid (a sale without consideration isn't a sale, it's a give (or take!) away). It does not preclude contracting a limited commitment (eg. to do work for renumeration), nor does it preclude accepting conditions in such a contract.
The thing that has stood out to me about innovators, and innovation, is they live in a mindset of possibility, not doubt or skepticism.

Guys like Rubin have built something that touched a lot of people, and grew to be much larger than them. I think that's not really something I can look to anyone to credit, or discredit, than, say someone else who has done the same.

Sure, but (a) RMS actually does make that argument and (b) he AFAIK doesn't actually call for making proprietary software illegal, but just tries to convince people to not produce, endorse, or use it.
You know something? I have come around on my thinking on this topic.

There is a single central point where everyone on both sides of this debate are getting stuck and that is in the nature of the term "Sexism." What helped me to better understand what people mean when they say "Sexism" is to replace that word with the phrase: "Males Competing For Limited Resources With Females."

Once I made that mental shift I really was able to bridge to a place where I can sort of see what people from the Left are trying to say (but the problem is they are using a meaningless and overwrought phrase to get there and also attempting to jam insane ideas down people's throats using Orwellian tactics along the way while holding onto delusional optimistic views about reality). ahem

There are limited jobs at Google, very very high paying jobs which everyone in the entire world wants. There are people living in absolutely desperate circumstances all around America (let alone the entire globe!) who would basically kill for a job at Google. You see people lying in their own filth every day in downtown San Francisco who can't hold a job down and pay rent. The ones who can actually afford rent (barely) are sometimes not all that much better off.

If you think these people are going to be nice to one another once they get inside Google and are competing for the same promotions, you are hilariously wrong.

I have seen myself what men in large corporations are willing to do to one another in a closed environment with few promotions and resources: We are f*cking really mean to one another. We back-stab. We lie. We undermine. I have done it myself, it was fun when I was winning and awful when it was being done to me.

Large corporations spend a tremendous amount of money on PR and marketing to polish their images, but inside they are filled with men acting like rats trapped in a jar with dwindling food pellets: They eat each other sometimes. Maybe 15-35% of the time, but its enough.

Now add in a couple women to this environment: The experiment ends badly for them unless some structures are put into place. Men can and will tend to use whatever techniques they have at their disposal to get rid of or manipulate those around them. This includes being condescending and demeaning to reduce the influence of women.

However, no matter what you do. No matter how much you train your workforce, when you lift the lid you are going to find the following: Men competing with women and other men for few resources and promotions.

The problem is that corporations are built around making employees compete with one another. Thats how promotions work! Thats how money and stock are allocated: You did better than your peers or screwed them over so they failed.

The biggest lie companies like Google and Facebook tell the world is that they are lovely meritocracies ruled by fairness when they aren't. Google, Facebook, Microsoft, Amazon all share the same thing in common: People competing using whatever tools they have to get few resources.

All this SJW bullshit is simply an attempt to polish what is fundamentally a smiling bloodsport and always will be, its how corporations work.

Ah, then someone should reply to the top-level comment with a link to where RMS makes that argument.
It is not about Matthew Akins, but about the ruling of the court and the argumentation it used to arrive at that ruling. US law is based on precedents, so in future similar cases, the court must take into account the argumentation used and apply it to them. Therefore each verdict could potentially mean that new law is created.

In this case, that could mean that a new law has been created that prevents citizens from filming the police. Unless the case reaches the Supreme Court and they make a contradictory ruling that is. But IANAL and I'm happy to be corrected.
It is an issue because you could MITM this and give a different address and fingerprint. This seems highly unlikely but is possible.

Schoolteachers are trained to provide just this type of variety for just this type of reason.

Having remotely hired others and being hired, I've noticed remote workers don't always understand how critical it is to deliver and add value, instead of putting their interests and balance and what they're getting out of it ahead.

Highly recommend anyone who has opinions about certain rights try hiring someone for a gig and see how much the responsibilities come to mind, when it comes to being effective.

Some people aren't geared to work from home, or good at it from the get go. They still may be geared to work remotely (maybe a coworking space). Managing distractions at home is no different than managing distractions at the office. Same goes for finding a way to be effective at the office vs remote.

The ability to focus and manage distractions is something that can take people a while to figure out, and a worthwhile thing to focus on.

I just try to remember the value of removing the commute - If we take an the 2 hours a day saved in a commute (door to seat), it saves 60 hours a month, or 720 hours a year. That's an entire 30 days of living per year of extra waking hours.
