I'm interested in how they plan to monitor all these cameras. Obviously, it can't be any number of people looking at all 625M cameras.

Will some AI monitor all the feeds and flag suspicious activities to the local authorities?

Before the gas chamber was the firing squad. Before that was the noose, the axe, and the guillotine.

Humans have a long history of killing each other, and typically over time (with a few exceptions such as the electric chair) the methods have generally gotten more humane (if state sanctioned punishment resulting in death can ever be considered humane) and when those methods failed to be available, no human government has ever held off on using a more barbaric act of killing in it's place.

Technology will either evolve without us, or less humane methods will continue to be used. Progress is both a promise and a threat.
The Tiger Who Came to Tea - targeted at the younger reader, but I mention it as there's a great lesson to be learned there though, for young and old alike...

Of course Wind in The Willows is still one of my favourite books that I read as a kid and I can quote you large sections of it. Still read sections of it now and then...

I loved the Willard Price "Adventure" series of books. I read "Volcano Adventure" when I was 7. After that I became obsessed with volcanoes and Willard Price books. I drove the librarians nuts about those books and they had to bring them in from libraries near and far until I'd read them all. Grin.

The Willard Price books had a big impact on me though. I grew up and have lived those books - I've dived wrecks and reefs, explored jungles, gone on safari, I worked for four years in Africa, travelled all over. I even climbed up a live volcano. Funny how these things stay with you. Of course highly frowned upon these days as politically incorrect. Ditto the Biggles books.

While we're talking about Excel:

Are there any good tools available for version control and/or diffing of spreadsheets?

If my coworker updates a formula in cell E3 and emails it to be, is there any way for me to know what changed?
To be honest - I'm not sure why I've never used it again, probably attracted by shiny new things rather than something I last used over 20 years ago.
The general problem with Alexa and skills (and really with voice interfaces generally) is that the voice recognition has gotten pretty good but conversational speech understanding really has not. As a result, commands are sort of like a wizard's incantation (or a CLI). You have to pretty much nail the exact syntax you need and there is very limited discoverability. That's fine for a few things but remembering syntax for a bunch of different seldom-used skills quickly breaks down.
While I appreciate the sentiment that we should be distrustful of every large company that has our data, including apple, I take issue with the assertion that unless that publish their source code, they are selling our data.

Logically, apple has no reason to be selling our data in even close to the same way that google does. These arguments have been thoroughly outlined in the threads above. Furthermore, showing us the source code would not prove whether or not apple is selling our data, though it would certainly prove that they are collecting it. And even if they showed people their algorithms for differential privacy, you could always make the argument that they were hiding something.

Essentially it seems that there is no condition that would satisfy the criteria. It's obvious that we have to trust apple's word to some degree and that the relationship is asymmetrical. I've been convinced by the arguments about business model / risk outlined above. What hasn't convinced you?
Comparing China to the US is a false equivalency.

For one, Chinese ISPs are state owned (China Telecom, China Mobile, China Unicom, Great Wall). They do not have much of a profit motive outside the typical corruption of people at the top. Even with these state owned ISPs there are multiple choices for each address as these companies share infrastructure. The sharing of infrastructure in itself is similar to local loop unbundling, which does not exist in the US.

Another thing is that the tech community thrives at the behest of the government. Every time something happens it is generally due to changes in party policy that shift favor between companies.

Partitioning services is also not necessarily good. For example, large American ISPs generally have regional monopolies if not duopolies. They also own TV channels and movie studios. What is to prevent them from offering packages of their own services that are zero rated while charging extra for others (say, Steam or a new streaming service)?
> You raise a difficult issue - how you would honestly resolve it. On one hand, CSOs cannot be personally liable for every hack. On the other, they shouldn't be given a pass on everything either

Sure they can. It is called "insurance". Sort of like malpractice. CSO wants to get paid millions of dollars? Excellent, either be personally on the hook or have an insurance company that would be willing to underwrite your method of dealing with it, be that having your own crack team of people who get to oversee everything, or relying on Jr system admins from your company or whatever else.
Glad to be talking with you too! :) I didn't mean to imply you said something you didn't, only that I would consider access keys to various services be of much more importance the code base itself. I read you comment as "Doesn't matter about the access keys, if they have your source code, you're screwed no matter what", which in that case would seem a bit strong.

Also "pushes to prod from compromised accounts, CI systems" seems more related to access keys and account security rather than the actual code base.

But hey, in the end I'm no security expert so what do I know.
> to pretend that they are the first (or the worst) when it comes to dodging taxed is rather silly.

That Redhat support contract won't save you from a bug in a binary blob network driver.

Crashing the whole kernel at the drop of a hat seems like a pretty extreme stance to take as a general policy IMHO. Killing and restarting the driver will usually suffice, although some data may be lost and have to be retransmitted.
Haven't had to as the apps I targeted weren't using it. Can't think of an obvious way without rooting the device though...
yeah i remember that election morning. upset liberals were saying how the market is going to be down 2000 points, etc and pointing to pre-market price changes. having invested before, I know you cant trust pre-market numbers at all, its extremely volatile.

We don't need to have it enshrined in law as right now little to no ISPs outright prevent access to popular services but as you said zero-rating is slowly creeping in.

Until an ISP starts preventing universal access nothing needs to be done, zero-rating (while bad for competition) does not do that.

A good question would be why aren't the competition petitioning the government to outright ban zero-rating? Current EU law has zero-rating loopholes, it'd be up to a post-brexit government to close them. Perhaps it's not popular with current ISPs and their customers? I don't think a large survey on net neutrality has been done in the UK.
wouldn't you just host your site on shopify or something since they'll probably pay the extortion fees. Hosting your own server is probably out, but the cloud sites and/or CDNs will consolidate.
Actually you run into the one of Excel's biggest problems when you do this, namely "Multiple versions of the truth". Here's how that happens: The central database often contains bad data. Users "fix" the bad data in their spreadsheet. Excel doesn't have the ability to write the updated data back to the database. Now everyone has their own versions of "the truth". There are products that attempt to solve this problem by adding the ability to write modified data back to the database. See for example Pebble Reports, http://pebblereports.com/features/ but this is a reporting program and does not have spreadsheet capabilities.

NP@NYT summarized a long-standing Twitter discussion - he's put in little to no independent work on the story.

Tether has claimed to have audited bank statements from the start. To date, they've never performed a real audit from an internationally recognized auditor.

In Sep '17, Tether paid for Friedman to state that they had ~$350m in USD in certain bank accounts. The bank names and locations were blacked out. If you know how to read audit statements, Friedman bent over backwards to make sure they're not culpable for fraud (whereas normally their function is to rubber-stamp for authenticity). Over the past two months, Tether has issued another $300m in USDT while transparency remains opaque
> Before the gas chamber was the firing squad. Before that was the noose, the axe, and the guillotine.

That doesn't answer any of the questions posed.
Excel is simultaneously flexible enough to solve a wide array of problems and structured enough to enable larger tasks like slicing and filtering data. This article is trying to push for cloud-based silos that solve specific problems, but most of them fall apart in "real-world" scenarios because they aren't flexible enough to support the ad-hoc workflows people have developed over years.

I don't think either of those companies would cease to exist if their code bases leaked online today. Sure, someone might get something to build, but there is surely A LOT of things around the code bases to support all of this, which means the code bases would mostly serve as a study for software in general (and finding holes obviously).

Github is a bit unfair comparision, as their business is literally to make your code private, so if it leaks then of course it would be a hard hit. For the general company, I think leaking access credentials is a much bigger (but easier to fix) problem than leaking the source code itself.
Completely off topic, sorry.

I work for one of the companies mentioned, and we don't / did not pay for the name drop. Maybe one of the others did, but we did not.
Most big tech companies are evil to some extent though they also do some good too. I've worked for a few and I can rarely stick around for longer than 6 months. It just doesn't feel right to me. It's obviously a zero-sum game.

It feels like executives are slowly turning the knobs and making companies more and more evil over time but doing so at a slow enough rate that nobody pays attention to it.

The hypocrisy of some big companies is that they promote themselves as being against any form of violence, aggression or discrimination but a large part of their business is about mentally abusing people and creating inequality.
Relatedly, here's a transcript of a recent talk about DIY gene therapy: http://diyhpl.us/wiki/transcripts/diy-human-gene-therapy-wit...
Yes, exactly this! Thank you.
My current role is at a large company, and a significant portion of my work is getting Excel reports which are broken and fixing them. Most I've never seen working. Some reports have been broken for years but need to be resurrected.

To add a couple more:

- Use actual tables. (Select data+headers, Insert -> Tables -> Table). In most cases the data is tabular but not formatted as a table. Making this one change makes the formulas self-documenting, and rather than selecting rows 2:5000, it will automatically accommodate more data as it's added. Tables can also be named (click in the table, Table Tools [Design] -> Properties -> Table Name). E.g. tbl_sales. This allows nice formulas like

=SUM(tbl_sales[Sales])

or

=SUMIF(tbl_sales[Region],"West",tbl_sales[Sales])

At a certain point, it really needs to be SQL, but between this and pivot tables you can greatly extend the time before a database is needed.

- Add a sheet with instructions. Explain hiccups which may be encountered, and how to fix them.

- Add comments to VBA. There is about 1 person at my facility (other than me) who adds any comments at all. Most use the Macro Recorder then add in the loops and logic as needed. Makes it really tough to figure out.

- Protect cells which hold calculations. I recently saw a spreadsheet which has been giving sub-optimal output for years because the ranges used in a function were messed up and copied down every week.

- Use the built-in styles (Home -> Styles). Same goes for Word (Heading 1, Heading 2, etc.). It makes spreadsheets way more straightforward to read if there are some cells using Explanatory, Input, and Note styles, and it's less abrasive to read. I particularly like the Input style because you can tell users "You'll only need to update the orange cells".

- Use multi-line formulas. Alt+Enter while editing a cell allows multiple lines on a single formula. You can also improve the readability by adding four spaces at the start of the new lines. E.g.

=SUMIFS(tbl_sales[Total_Sales],
tbl_sales[Month], "Jan",
tbl_sales[Region], "West")
The author of the blog, Martin Sustrik, is the original author of ZeroMQ. His late colleague in the project, Pieter Hintjens, extolled the virtue of effectively macro based code generation, especially using a "macro language" GSL:

Which has some previous discussion about it:

I would imagine Martin has gone through the path of discussing macros long time ago, and for some reason or other does not refer to them here.
Yes, plastic is so passé.
We have research ethics for a reason. Self-experimentation with a sample size of 1, in a non-double-blind study is worthless.
Like I said, YMMV. This is not an assumption so much as an observation of dozens of couples in various industries, with both men and women in the superior position. This isn't necessarily a conscious motivation on the part of the subordinate, but it exists. Like other temporary motivations (e.g. beauty, wealth, vigor, etc.) this one sets up the relationship for a transition when the motivator no longer exists. Many relationships survive such transitions; many do not.
Yeah... China's restrictive internet wouldn't be saved by "Net Neutrality". One of the foundational principles of the PRC is regulating what can be said. The medium is irrelevant.

I'll note that the FCC also regulates what can be said. Anyone remember when they investigated Stephen Colbert for his remarks on Trump?
I not advocating against Net Neutrality, but commercial interest will adapt. It's fringe innovation that will have the most issues. create new protocol, but it doesn't have a lot of users so it gets blocked or charged more.
Look, let's consider the 2000 election for a moment: Florida was both brought within distance for theft to matter by Nader votes and actually stolen, resulting in the Bush victory. But the only reason the results, in Florida or nationally, were close enough for any of that to matter was because the Gore made the incredibly moronic choice not only fail to leverage the fact that he was Vice President to the most popular outgoing President in the history of polling, but to top that off my spitting in the face of that with the Vice Presidential pick.

Similarly, yes, all those things you mention were part of the context in which the 2016 election occurred but they were decisive only because that Democrats picked the weakest possible candidate, with higher unfavorable ratings than any previous major party nominee, firm unfavorability because of decades of national political exposure, and relatively little experience as a candidate in electoral politics (having only served a couple terms as a Senator in a heavily-selling state coming in onethe coattails her husband's Presidential popularity; she'd never been in a campaign where she needed more than the approval of the Democratic establishment to win.) Clinton had the worst negatives that can come with long political exposure, without the strengths that come from long and relevant electoral politics experience.

And, no, it's not her fault, it's the Democratic establishment's fault. Clinton didn't have the choice to be herself or be someone else, the Democratic establishment did have the choice not to decide to go all in for Clinton even before other candidates were declared.
Let me also add "The consolations of the forest" by Sylvain Tesson, who lived alone on the shores of Lake Baykal for about a year. A well-written book about an interesting story.

A lot of our duplication in our Java-projects is due to Java classes generated from wsdls or xsds or similar. I quite like it, actually. Can generate it from a known xsd and version it as it's own module.

How could a language solve this? I know F# can compile some stuff using things online, but this means the build is suddenly not reproducible. And we could always only generate that code on the fly when compiling, but that always wreak havoc on some tooling or IDEs when the code you're referencing isn't there until compile-time.
(I assume NATO knew about this.)

There's no such thing as telling your own people. Once you inform your own population about it, the enemy knows about it as well. The same as is true with regards secret service such as CIA and NSA. As you say, that doesn't fly here, since the Soviet government knew, and the US government knew the Soviet government knew.

Why you don't want to talk about that could be because its an elephant in a room which could cause escalation because of public discussion. That escalation could be internal as well as external.

Another reason could be that it shows that the US government knew a lot about the Soviets which due to this increased knowledge decreases fear for the Soviets. Which wasn't in the interest of the US government; it was in the interest of both the US and the Soviet government to see each other as the enemy.

A third reason could be, in addendum to #2, that the leadership saw no benefit to it, in terms of propaganda. It might seem the same as #2 but its less nefarious or ill intent.

We may never know the truth about this. Could FOIA requests shed some light?
Historically competition has been one of the best ways to foster innovation, and as a society achieving a good "ability to detect bikers" is probably something we want in an automatic car.

However, it is relatively wasteful since many resources need to be allocated to do the same thing several times. Alternatives could be : 1) deals between companies to not innovate in those specific areas, 2) a workgroup formed by companies working together on that subject 3) a government program to research that specific area.
