This seems like a question that has a story behind it, which would be worth hearing.

Otherwise your question is much like "How do I bicycle when I have no wheels?"
Hi! Finding first customers was a bit tricky. I used several ways - first, i offered my service to ex-employer (this was the best, as they already knew me well), next, I started blogging about my research and experiments and some customers came from this writing, and finally the word of mouth started working.
Submitter here. Not my blog post, but glad to see this got some traction!

Random memory of a Soviet control room: in the late 1990s, the rave scene was booming in Estonia and I ended up wrangling an invite to a party called "Beast Feast" [1] arranged by fellow promoters VIBE. The venue was a giant old Soviet-era factory in the industrial zone of Liiva Keskus [2]. The factory floor, complete with random, rusty machines, was used for a "fashion show" featuring models wearing only animal skulls, horns, tails etc, plus stacks of speakers reaching to the ceiling and a thousand-plus ravers dancing. The control room -- which looked exactly like the ones in the pictures -- was carpeted with mattresses, decked out with disco lighting, and there was a DJ playing chill-out music. One of the most memorable parties I've been to! Unfortunately I can't find any pictures of it online...

Unlike the additions, I really don't see how that feature is benefiting the platform except for some uploaders by, as you succinctly put it, providing click bait.

I really wish the video image would have to be a frame taken from the video. Make it any frame, if the uploader cares so much they can include the image as a title card and pick a frame from that.
I don't know that we really have enough data for that claim. It's only been around for 7 years, and social media in general hasn't been that prevelant for much longer.

None the less it will be interesting to see how these situations play out. The smart instagram celebrities are likely using the fame to make connections and legitimize their fame some how. Others will probably fade away as their current target markets grow up and shift interests.
Huh, so, how will uploaders update corrections and other additions after the fact?
I do not think you need to be a US citizen just because you were born there. There are countries that allow a child born in the US to acquire the citizenship of its parents.

Seriously, good riddance. It added so much clutter to videos that I explicitly hid them any chance I got. I'd rather content creators just use the video description to communicate or edit their videos so that annotations would not be necessary.
Some way to implement cache tagging and fast invalidation based on tags (a la Fastly) would be good. Without storage I can't see a way to keep a hash of currently valid tags - but I will play!
OK, little more liquid than I expected, I just glanced at the order books on bitcoinwisdom. What happened on Gemini looks more what I'd expect, a deep and fast crash as all the liquidity was eaten.
I think there's a legitimate point to be made that it's a shame that the best way we've found to coordinate our resources to advance science and technology is capitalism. It's not like capitalism doesn't work, but if you envision a sort of "coordination oracle" which divides up resources ideally, and which everyone magically trusts, it seems pretty obvious that we would be advancing much more quickly.

But I also agree that there's not much point in dwelling on that point. So far, finding ways to leverage capitalism into solving problems has tended to be a lot more fruitful than looking for a replacement.
Black screen on Android.
Consumer audio has seemed to have lagged behind other technologies by seemingly 20 years. Why? It's a great question. I had once thought self powered speakers would take over audio, but never seems to happen. Look at all of the TV's being sold with terrible audio built in. We still seem to be dickering about with consumer love for the 3.5 mechanical audio jack. There are some really cool t-class amps on ebay with Bluetooth. Perhaps combined with an hdmi surround audio extractor, also on ebay, you could custom build something to your needs. You might have a hard time syncing all of the separate audio channels with Bluetooth though.

I understand that it's quite trendy to shit on Google's parade these days.

But how exactly is bundling Flash player sneaky?

Or are you alluding to some sort of bait and switch that was executed to suck people into the Google sphere? If so, please explain! Chrome was never marketed as a privacy-minded browser, was it?
> Edit: Actually, KHTML is licensed LGPL, and that's a viral license if you make a derivative work. So I suppose Apple was forced to open source their changes when it finally went to market.

When LGPL code is linked with non-free code and the resulting work is distributed LGPL only requires that the changes to the LGPL code be open and that the object files for the non-free code are provided so that users can exercise their LGPL rights with regard to the LGPL portion of the work.

Apple could have separated out much of their work into separate files that contained no non-Apple code and that dynamically linked with the KHTML LGPL code and they could have kept those files closed. They would only have had to open the changes to the LGPL code.

If we accept the terminology that GPL is a viral license then LGPL is more of an immune system than a virus.
Consider the "Air-foil", which led to flight. In one sense, its an approximation of the wings of birds and other animal

Not true; "lift" was well known for thousands of years, horizontal "lift" is how ships sail upwind. The breakthrough for the Wright bros was making something light enough to make use of this phenomenon vertically.
Legitimately yes they are being dishonest. When you get a license you are telling the government you know the laws and will abide by them.

Whether a law that nearly 100% of the population ends up violating is a good law is a different discussion.
Interrupt analysis is a core element for designing a real time system. High speed data interfaces don't always work good with polling. In theory it's actually quite easy, from the data sheets you can find out or configure the max frequency an interrupt can occur, then you just multiply that frequency with the WCET of your interrupt routine, assume it will always happen and deduct that time from your main loop time budget.
In Toronto many people who were formerly institutionalized are now living on the streets. I walk through an area with a high concentration of shelters on a daily basis, and I can tell you that most of these people suffer from some kind of mental health disorder ranging from mild to severe. It's certainly not helped by addiction, but I can't help but feel like homeless shelters or the streets are not the right place for these people. Nor could most of them be expected to look after their own needs if they were given enough money - we already have a reasonably generous welfare system in Canada.
(German here, but pretty much the same situation.)

Not really. It's really hard to try and get fired, since the employees are protected pretty well. So in order to get fired you would have to mess up pretty bad, to a point where you would usually leave a lot of scorched earth, so very few people do that.

If you are on good terms with the company you can also "get fired" (I've heard of that in a few startups), so you can collect the benefits, but that only works in a small set of companys I think.
> They squandered a lot of money, while neglecting their core business (their web browser).

They are not a business, they are a non-profit organization. And their aim is not to simply build a better browser, but to preserve the open web, and put control in the hands of the users. Granted, phoneOS was a failure, but given their mission, they had to try.
That is absolutely disgusting, and may actually threaten any niche channel which is not mainstream enough to generate a significant amount of clicks, but which so far has been able to keep alive using Patreon and other donations.

That was my favorite thing about YouTube: Unlike Cable TV, not all content was converging towards the lowest common denominator, because creators of e.g. advanced science and engineering topics could keep afloat with the dedicated support of a small community.

At least (I hope) creators can still mention their Patreon in their videos.

Is it meant to be ironic that the website is really badly designed?
Because implementing such user protections takes away from the revenue stream of webpage owners. As a result of that, those have much less of a incentive to ensure compatibility with Firefox, which ultimately means lots of broken webpages when browsing with Firefox.

What's more, with Google at 60% market share and growing, and not offering such protections for their users, it becomes increasingly more likely for webpage owners to just drop Firefox completely. It's not worth the effort compared to the money they make off of oblivious Chrome users.

You also seem to not be aware of Tracking Protection. Firefox blocks trackers by default in Private Browsing. There's more examples where Firefox goes the extra mile to protect user privacy, but Tracking Protection really is just exactly what you said. You should've seen the outcry from webpage owners when that was pushed out to users.
Nested Virtualization for Google Compute Engine
For a lot of people Bitcoin was what was going to disrupt the online payments market, removing the monopoly of the credit cards. Ridiculous transaction fees and slow payments don't help that goal.

The digital gold narrative is newer and perhaps more powerful but I wouldn't call the transaction fees irrelevant.
I haven’t been able to find the court orders for any of the website blocks (only newspapers talking about it) but it’s all related to an order of the Constitutional Court that prohibits basically anything that promotes the referendum since it’s against the Constitution.

This is probably only something that tech-related people understand (and maybe some specific types of photographers and designers).

The great majority of the population doesn't really know that "photos store location", let alone join the dots to assume that these things are possible.
> there is a genuine, popular mandate for independence

That remains to be seen. There are still less than 50% proponents of independence, according to what I read. The recent Spanish actions may have increased that number though.
I wonder what will be google's response. Faster chrome would be nice.
And Firefox - it's still Firefox, with obligatory pocket integration, no full themes support. It's more a company culture than technology thing.

That doesn't really make it evident that letting an app access a photo lets it access the photos location.

You and I both understand that that's metadata in the file, but non-tech users don't know that much -- they might simply have never though about it enough at all.
(OP is a guy with no Uber equity)
I didn't see it as shitting on Google because there are newer, "hungrier" companies that I think will do sneakier things and cross lines Google wouldn't cross. I think it was valid as a general talking point. We do need to be careful about who we support.

For example, there is apparently a $40B rural Internet access bill that Dems are pushing. I love greater access to the internet but I'm more than a little skeptical.
Best Apps for Reddit Users

But now we have GPUs, which makes it entirely different. /s

And it kinda does, but in an engineering way rather than a statistics way.

Like reinforcement learning from pixels is pretty new (i would be really interested if you have 10+year old citations), and pretty amazing. I've been looking at RL (through OpenAI gym) and realising that I "just" need to annotate a bunch of images and then train a network that will predict (fire/no fire in Doom from those pixels, and I can just add another network that builds some history onto this net (like an RNN) and this might actually work, is kinda amazing.

I'm still not sure I believe that it's always a good approach, but some of my initial experiments with my own (mostly image so far) data have been pretty promising.

The hype is pretty annoying though, especially if you've been interested in these things for years.

The bar to entry for these kinds of applications has been significantly lowered, which means we'll see more of it. I guess, in some sense, it's similar to the explosion of computer programs following the advent of personal computers (maybe, I haven't thought deeply about this part).
If its good for the CIA, it's good for me.

Really? Despite their motivations to distort reality and after all the incompetence they displayed over the decades, you still consider CIA a credible source? You're not even reading their internal reports, these are just some leaks and statements to the press.

No, because the bootrom only boots signed software. For an emulator, this could be very interesting; if the bootrom is reproduced and drivers are compatible, it could theoretically work.

What I've found works best for keeping access to photos restricted, is clicking on "Share" on the iOS photos app, and then selecting the target app (eg: FB Messenger).

This means that the target app doesn't get access to my entire library -- but I can still share one (or a few) photos through it.
It can be done, even today. If you work outside the US and work on cheap things (i.e. no special equipment), especially if you can teach then you can hang around for a long time.

I have met a lot of academics like this over the years, but I think your broader point might be that this is not possible today, which I agree with, and which is why I left academia (modulo personal situations).
Capitalism = greedy optimization with a Bayesian assumption. It tends to get stuck in local maxima and does weird things when the inputs are biased, but otherwise works ok.

There are almost certainly better ways to search the solution space, but most serious attempts attempts thus far have been non-sensical or impractical.
“Rain begins with a single drop”: Saudi women rejoice at end of driving ban
New Research Shows Link Between Cat Parasites and Brain Diseases
I've been using react-dnd in my app, and it has taught me a lot about good software design. The architecture is really beautiful and powerful, but I'm finding it very hard use. The HTML5 drag/drop backend also has some serious limitations.

The main thing is that HTML drag/drop can't start a drag as soon as you click the mouse. It always waits until you drag the item at least 5 pixels in any direction. And then it sometimes flickers, or shows the green + icon for a few ms.

I haven't found a way to solve this problem in react-dnd which makes the whole experience feel clunky and unresponsive. This is a big UX problem in my app, because I need to able to drag things by 1px to make precise adjustments.

I would probably stick with react-dnd if there was a plain JS/DOM backend that gave more control and precision, but I haven't been able to find that.

EDIT: Here's my issue on react-dnd - https://github.com/react-dnd/react-dnd/issues/861

I do like how it comes with pluggable backends. I'm tempted to work on a new JS backend so that I can start the drag immediately on mousedown. It might be less work than replacing everything with this new Shopify library.

First Evidence That Night Owls Have Bigger Social Networks Than Early Risers
Confirmed from the UK.
Some sort of 2FA done on a USB device might help. I'm thinking something open and free. The user can just extract, probably programmatically, the software to their own USB device and enter/configure any needed information.

Then, online accounts could query the device and see if there's a key that matches what was made when they setup the account or added 2FA. Each account could have its own key, associated with the owner's master key, and it'd have to match the one on file - something like that.

I imagine it's have to be standardized and easy for site owners to implement. I guess it could also be done at some central location using something like OAuth, though individual sites should be able to add it - and fairly easily, and for just the cost of learning to add it. Maybe make it fairly simply, as easy as LetsEncrypt - or even easier.

Now, in my head, they'd enter their username (no password yet) and that's when the check would be performed. The site would request the token from the USB and the USB would request the token from the site. If the two match whatever criteria the security gurus come up with, they are prompted to enter their password. I suppose there could be additional checks and maybe even periodic poling from either the USB or the site.

Because the phishing site wouldn't have the correct key, it would fail and the user wouldn't even be asked for their password. Ideally, the user wouldn't have t do much more than carry their USB drive with them.

I suppose it should be easy for the owner to clone the USB key. It should also require some sort of master password to even authorize it to hand out keys. I imagine enterprises can lock them down to a key and a workstation, meaning that they can can only work in certain computers and certain computers will only accept one physical key.

I am sure this can be refined and monetized. Selling solutions to businesses and services would be nice. Recovery should be possible but difficult. I'm sure it can be layered with additional features. It should probably be optional, and not mandated by law for the general population and for personal computing - but available for them.

I'm sure there are ways one can think of to get by it but it does seem like it'd be a good place to start. It also doesn't seem like it'd be technologically difficult to accomplish, or even necessarily expensive.
Constitutional rules are not written in stone though. If there is political will to change them, it usually can be done (often there are speed limits for how fast this can be done).

This is altogether a political issue, that the ruling party doesn't want the rules to be changed, but points to the constitution instead of taking responsibility for their stance.

I'm not sure you can hand wave the "expectation of profits" factor as easily as you did. Seems like it would have to be a reasonable expectation of profits and would probably have to be true of the majority of the purchasers.

Imagine that I bought $10k worth of Chuck E. Cheese tokens and I could convince the SEC that I sincerely expected the value of those tokens to go up substantially. I doubt that would be enough to meet the Howey requirements, even if my expectation was sincere.
