Windows 7, 8, and 8.1 all had built in telemetry too.

Please tell me what built-in telemetry you think we have on our Windows 7 machines (where we typically don't deploy any non-security updates without a good reason).
You might want to look into the loose vs. tight translation theories. There are resulting consequences with sticking with either one.
I call it nationalist denial. Or deliberate ignorance.

This type of nonsense is embedded in English accounts of the British Empire. Variants of the “white man’s burden” and the sacred principles of the market can be spun in all sorts of interesting ways.

The most galling example of this that I’m familiar with is the Irish famine. Millions died of starvation in the midst of a record bumper crop for export. The British justification for deliberate inaction was and for many still is a mixture of denial, high minded debate about the role of government, and a deep concern for keeping Irish wretches out of a cycle of dependency.
I think it's just something that catches the press and gets publicity. Then someone looks at their products and maybe likes what they see(Mathematica is pretty neat). Kinda like a foot in the door. That or Wolfram really does feel that automata are extremely important.
Yep, agreed. Thanks for the info!
I've used Moviepy fairly extensively in a recent project and yes, the docs are incomplete. I've had to resort to actually reading the source code to figure out why, for example, my argument was being ignored. I still have some unresolved (though seemingly obscure) issues with transparency, and my question to the moviepy subreddit went unanswered.
I want to do this for some sets of data, but the problem is how to make it easy for the users to manage their encryption key - It can't be saved to the database, or the whole thing is pointless.

I've considered:
1. having an input form for them to enter the key when they access sensitive data (but then they have to copy paste that from somewhere else or remember it - not very convenient)

2. A local client program that does the encryption, then saves the data to the web.

The more I think about it, I suspect the people who want encryption are not going to be my customers anyway (why would they encrypt and then upload to a cloud service?)
Ads are almost never how informed purchasers make decisions. In the age of the Internet, review systems (whether collaborative or curated) are infinitely better sources of product information than ads. They are also vulnerable to manipulation from would-be advertisers, but less so (and any influence can be mitigated by trusted reviewers).
That's why the seat can be removed in one piece, with the driver still in it - acts like a spinal board.
> A comparable situation would be Windows 10 ignoring users manually edited HOSTS file that attempts to block telemetry.[1] Microsoft has hardcoded ip to DNS resolution inside the networking stack (inside dnsapi.dll).

It's funny how Microsoft under Satya Nadella is heralded for opening up (embracing[0] open source, open standards, recognizing other platforms).

[0] I only noticed the irony a few seconds after writing that.
As long as your are not serving visually intrusive ads you can still track the shit out of users [1] under the Better Ads Standards [1]. If you are annoyed by flashing ads this is an improvement, if you are concerned about your privacy this does not really help at all. Sure, Chrome will seemingly also block trackers as some kind of side effect when blocking visually intrusive ads but just make your ads pass the visual standards and you are back in tracking business.

[1] Unless I failed to find the relevant rules.

It sounds like Google is using it's Monopoly position to control the ad space. Microsft used these tatics to get like 90+% marketshare before the government stepped in.chrome is open source it shouldn't be too hard to modify the code so it block Google ads too. I publish a browser which is a modified version of chrome which block ads. The issue is a lot of sites now detect this and tell you to disable it. They seem to use the script on the page itself so it's harder to block.

I used to know a couple of people working on rules-based translation, but that approach seems to have been sidelined by the early successes of statistical methods. I hope that work has continued in the background, not only for its own sake, but because statistical methods may have reached a point of diminishing returns.

The lack of understanding in statistical machine translation is a counter-argument I use whenever someone claims that its apparent success is a sign that the AI singularity is imminent, but I have to admit that the recent progress in statistical AI has led me to wonder if, just maybe, these methods are closing in on the fundamental methods of understanding. Perhaps John von Neumann's famous quip "Young man, in mathematics you don't understand things. You just get used to them" is actually generally true.

Yea I used it a bit in college. It is pretty neat when it has the information you need, but a lot of people are using proprietary information not on the public wolfram alpha cloud. So Alpha is a little gimmicky to me although great for helping with homework.

Not at all, why? Do you need any? ;-) Or is it a known difficult term to translate?

Go re-read the article. It blocks google ads too already.
A lot has been written on the “digital native” (people growing up with technology being good with technology). I encourage you to look it up.

As computer savvy people, I think we imagine how much better we could have been with more opportunity. It seems like the prevailing opinion is that the digital native is a myth and that just having technology doesn’t make the next generations experts in it.
Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance.

It appeals to a certain type of thinker. For me, it was for confirmation that there was another individual in the universe whose brain worked like mine. This alone was a revelation, even aside from the book's profundity.
'Future people' will all be 'technically strong' by today's standards at least. They will expect their tools to be powerful and have a whole childhood to familiarize and internalise concepts and paradigms. Pointy clicky is not going to cut it, not for anything worth doing. Of course there will be toys, of which I enjoy many, I'm not talking about those.

The only intuitive interface is the nipple, everything else is learned. It also seems you got stuck on the notion that 'programming languages' are hard. That does not need to be the case, not for native talkers. And REPL and 'wysiwyg' are certainly not mutually exclusive things, http://nbviewer.jupyter.org/url/jakevdp.github.com/downloads... that seems pretty what you see is what you get to me.
Yep, as someone not writing production code it is pretty awesome as a personal productivity tool.
Indeed - just look at Kubica's 300 Kph crash in Canada[1] - that would more than likely not have been survivable in the early to mid 90's.

The Hans device, protective monocoque, wheel tethers and other incremental improvements are nothing short of stunning, and though he has many legitimate gripes against him, Max Moseley was key in pushing this forward in his time as head of the FIA.

'I felt like I was in heaven,' the cop said. 'It's like instant replay in the NFL, I can tell what happened.' The engineers looked at each other like, 'Aw, crap.'

As engineers, we have an obligation to think through privacy concerns.

These (and nearly all) devices should either not retain data or should encrypt it. Also my self-driving car better not be phoning home or getting updates over the air. I've seen what happens in Fast and the Furious 8… https://fsmedia.imgix.net/19/8a/19/0d/3e81/44e8/ab9d/679cbb2...
Sure there are. For example, your bundle size shrinks when targeting newer browsers because more features exist, fewer need to be polyfilled.

Safari Content Blockers are the officially supported way. Eg BlockBear, Crystal, etc.
I'm aware of this, but it seems to be only basic tracker blocking and not even near as flexible and comprehensive as say uBlock. They need to expand this significantly to offer something equivalent to this Chrome initiative. At the very least, offer the ability to add custom blacklists and per domain rules.
The difference in pay between US and EU has always left me scratching my head. Is development universally treated as a cost center by business people there? Isn't there anybody trying to attract those top N% of engineers with big salaries so those engineers make them a fortune? A 50-80% haircut on salary is a big whammy for the same position in places with similar COL.

The book Moneyball talks about this. Well I thought it would be about baseball, but it was kind of about our ability to judge merit. It's hard even in a measurement driven sport like baseball. Sports are arguably the purist meritocracy, yet scouts were routinely missing on their evaluation of talent.

Going to stick with Firefox and keep blocking all tracking and ads. Thank you very much.
Looks basically like an ad block filter rule list parser (there are others in C++ including one I wrote [0] and one Brave people wrote [1]).

Of course, looking at the code, I am not seeing where cosmetic filters are supported. Also, you should include the code from https://cs.chromium.org/chromium/src/extensions/common/api/d... in this I think. Also, there's the safe browsing code at https://cs.chromium.org/chromium/src/components/safe_browsin... of which the author references db/util.h.

Warning; a few weeks ago I ended up in a debate with a co-worker and ran the performance tests on this construct. Turns out that you would be better served by ```foo.bar = bar``` since nodejs doesn't give you the performance you expect.

This is interesting. A true comprehensive rethink is required.

When you rent a safe deposit box the law doesn't get automatic access (warrant etc is required). They law could consider buying just a ride from an AV service to be "renting" the car as you would a safe deposit box, house, or apartment and require a warrant for police access.

But you'd have no authority over the cameras and other systems of all the other cars around you -- those would still be available.

Tricky.
Shamir's Secret Sharing (SSS)[1] is a technique for doing this.

SSS solves a harder problem than (my understanding of) RAID parity: that it requires not just k out of i pieces (your N and M+N) to assemble a secret, but also that no fewer than k pieces is sufficient, for arbitrary 0 < k < i.

These days, SSS is commonly recommended (I don't know whether it's also commonly used) for storing cryptocurrency wallet backups.

Well, I have Mozilla's back personally since I've always used only Firefox ever since version 1 and never used Chrome except for trying it out for a test drive from time to time, but the millions of Firefox users worldwide will now have one more reason to jump ship to Chrome and that's something Firefox can't afford at this point. Built-in ad blocking is just too good to pass up. Firefox needs to implement their own version soon, IMO.
Don’t forget to check Leif Andersen’s video language

https://lang.video/

It is a Racket language for editing videos. Quite handy when you need to edit many, similar conference videos.
There was an open source project to run/emulate TSN/INN services. You could run the old software in Dosbox and connect to it. People rarely used it though, and people on the mailing list would try to start scheduling times for people to "meet" on the service just so it wasn't a ghost town.
"It was clear that our research participants were not using and not seeking out specialized tools tailored to accomplish their specific goals. Why?"

While the Levi-Strauss explanation is attractive, there are other factors as well. The author seem to think that a kludge of things such as email, ms word, and screenshots is an inferior workflow, but it has virtues as well. Those tools are stable and reliable and have been around for 20 years, and can be expected to be around for 20 more. Nothing about them is going to fundamentally change, and the user can expect that everything about them is controllable by the user, and they they'll appear on any new platform that might emerge (smart phone, tablet) essentially unchanged.

Contrast this with something that the author sees as a better solution, say, Instapaper. It began as a paid app, then it was free but with a Pro version, then it was subscription-based... the whole situation just seems volatile - it could disappear tomorrow, and it stores the data god-only-knows-where. If you happened to go with Readability or Evernote Clearly then now you're back to square one and have to figure this stupid crap out all over again.

There are a lots of users who value stability and reliability over small efficiency gains, and who don't enjoy spending time navigating ever-changing marketplaces.

Agreed! :-) However, making students see how complex constructs translate into a sequence of simple assembler operations helps a lot in understanding what compilers are all about.
It's just... what's the point of talking to anyone who will listen about how HTML was designed for hypertext? Yes, we all know that. Today the world's most-popular Web sites include YouTube and Facebook. We aren't going back.
This is an aspect of autonomous vehicles that I had never considered before.

Given each AV has complete 360 degrees camera coverage (for detection of other vehicles, if Tesla, for debugging, if others which rely primarily on Lidar) and this camera data is very valuable for debugging and as a liability reducer, this data is very probably to be kept, then transferred to a datacenter. So each AV is also a bunch of mobile security cameras.

LE officers can access those recordings with the same ease they access fixed security cameras, once an investigation starts. Very easily, even without a warrant.

One increased difficulty is the need to ask AV makers which vehicles were near the incident at the time, so as to know which AVs camera recordings to ask for. That location data is protected, at least in some US states.
People want to climb Maslow's hierarchy in every area of their lives. If bus drivers had better pay and job security (so much so that they hit the region of diminishing returns), maybe we'd see more talk from drivers about wishing they were driving especially important buses.
And now for the reality of market-based health care:

A guy with a minor cut on his back is bombarded with a 24/7 targeted ad campaign for ScarAway!TM, that convinces him this experimental...er..."cutting-edge!" UV treatment is the only thing standing between him and a constant stream of fawning, eager females twenty years his junior. He then obtains this treatment from his "true believer" local doctor at the low, low price of a $2,000 "co-pay" for himself and $20,000 from his insurer. After three months of ScarAway!TM his back is of course completely disfigured and looks far worse, at which point his own wife refuses to sleep with him, necessitating years of therapy. A decade passes and he is diagnosed with melanoma from the UV he was exposed to and dies one year and one million USD in healthcare costs later. The most memorable moment of his son's wedding is a tearful toast to his deceased father, whilst each of the doctors involved in his "treatment" as well as the ScarAway!TM salesman cut checks to their engaged children.
I think there's a happy middle ground between extensibility/flexibility and simplicity. You can use a GUI for simpler stuff while still allowing code for the complex stuff.

In moviepy's case I wouldn't use python to do describe simple video transformations as shown above, I'd use YAML. Unlike python, it's something that you can build by hand, can easily get a GUI or script to output and if you put it in version control you'll get readable diffs.

At the same time if you made every "video project" include the source media, the YAML file describing transformations used to build the output and by default include a stub 'plugin' python file, you could reduce the friction between people with coding skills seeing the need for an ad hoc custom transformation and creating it.

+1 for soccer. My teenager plays it with his senior school friends, but I always discourage him. Tell him he can pick up any sport, in which he doesn't have to physically directly engage with other persons.

I played field hockey in school & college. And once was involved in a head on collision with a friend, who suffered a bloody nose/face and was taken to hospital. And I was shit scared, until I knew he was safe, very luckily for me.

I have come to hate all sports like boxing/wrestling/soccer etc. for this reason. There are plenty of athletics and sports where you display your individual skill at a distance from another person to choose from.

I think, these sports are simply not probability friendly. When many people play, somebody is bound to get seriously injured.
TapJets was just being incredibly stupid here. Pilots and airlines know the regulations and know if they mess with them they’ll get hit hard.

Anyone that knows anything about aviation is just rolling their eyes at TapJet and saying good riddence. The “Uber” model of just blatantly ignoring regulations to get a leg up doesn’t work in aviation. While pilots and airlines aren’t exactly fans of the FAA, most would say that on the whole the system works well—and in both general aviation and our ATC system the US is the envy of the aviation world.

TapJet isn’t the first, but hopefully the last, startup to try such shenanigans.
That's true, but I don't think the solution is to treat all humans like they're assholes.

To expound a bit on poor human translations- when a human translator can't make sense of a passage in the original language, they'll come up with a meaning that makes sense in the context of the translation so-far. So the final translation will make some sense, even if that sense is not an accurate reproduction of the meaning of the original.

When machine translation makes mistakes on the other hand, the translation itself makes no sense. It's not just that its meaning is unconnected to the original; its meaning isn't.

I don't know if Google Translate is "good enough", that's an arbitrary scale. What I do know is that it's a lot better than what existed before. Yes, I'm human and know language, but Google Translate exists to serve humans?

The particular paragraph is mangled to the point of being gibberish, yes, and noone with the option to choose between your translation or Google's would give Google's even a second glance. But if I don't, it's that, or a paragraph of text that I can just about identify as being Greek, but which is otherwise, well, Greek to me. But as you concede, with context and human understanding of language, I was able to pick out a few crucial chunks of meaning.

Whether it's good enough depends on what I'm trying to achieve. If I'm judging your skill as a writer and storyteller, then obviously not. But if we hung out with Vasiliki, Mitsos and Maria last year and you put that on Facebook, I'd at least know enough to send my sympathy to Mitsos and have a good chuckle over Vasiliki's romantic endeavours, which would probably be what you intended - - which is pretty much the definition of "good enough".

As for travel guides and Google Translate, as someone who's travelled extensively both pre and post Google Translate, there is nothing in the difference of experience that doesn't qualify as a breakthrough. I have had fully meaningful (if not exactly deeply philosophical) conversations with people entirely mediated by Google Translate. I'm sorry your experiences have been so different from mine.
