To be fair he's not prohibiting you from building your own walls around your house. We're talking about FB. The problem there is, I'd imagine his account is specialized in a way that he has access to all the knobs so he can turn it all the way to zero. In that way he suffers the same problem as all people in power -- they don't see the problems faced by the plebs they talk down to.
Let's assume the age of privacy IS over.

How might we go about deweaponizing information? Does it require anarchical self governance and radical transparency or is there another way?

I propose one key: teaching the world to be emotionally responsible at an individual level. Nonviolent communication provides a clear structure and set of principles to practice to this end.

It tells you a lot, 20k cars in one city is a huge problem if you can't run while it rains, then you need to move them all to a storage location. If they do multiple cities then there are only so many without rain being likely, and expanding to more cities means your mapping needs to be done in those locations.
Shhhhh.
I wonder if countable numbers are something found across many alien species or if the concept is something more human than we realize.
Yes, because that's what the Democratic Congressional members demanded to get their vote for it. It was a bipartisan bill. The Republicans couldn't pass it on their own because the Freedom Caucus wouldn't toe the line, so they had to make concessions to the Democrats.
That's possible with a private company as the owner/CEO takes the blame and that goes as a part of profit/loss of some major stakeholder.

Its a lot more harder to do it when tax payers are footing the bill. If you have, say, more than a few failures people would be complaining and asking for less iterations and more of one-time-done-well projects.
Haha good one...

I couldn't agree more.

My living room tv is a 65" 4K monitor. It cost me around $999 during sales.

The perceived size of that screen at such a low distance gives the impression of looking at a bigger screen that the one at the local cinema.

We watch Netflix on it using two pairs of high quality headphones.

This results in a better viewing experience than going to the cinema. If I really felt like going there, I would simply burn some butter in a pan and play some crying children sounds in the background.

I had a Blackberry Torch [1] for a while in the early 2010's. The keyboard was great, and you could use a touchscreen keyboard as well (it would seamlessly switch the app to fullscreen if you slide it open). It was thicker and heavier than most comparable phones, but with modern tech that would be less of an issue.

The biggest problem with it at the time was it was running Blackberry OS, which was a reasonable e-mail client, mediocre (and later, noticeably outdated) browser, and abysmal app store and selection of 3rd party apps.
I remember saying it would have been a great phone if they had dropped their own OS and went to Android (and spent their software dev time making their version of Android better and building their e-mail client etc on top).

My next phone was an Android something or other, and by then, I was more than happy to give up the physical keyboard to get something more useful than an e-mail interface brick in my pocket.

i agree with you 10,000%. i think everyone is so concerned about why the car didn't stop, they forget that jaywalking or running out into the middle of the road is a gamble always.

i wonder... if the person crossing had been behind an obstruction and stepped out right in front of the car, would everyone still blame the car or the driver for hitting the person crossing?
I did, since I keep my cars for a long time (13 years and counting), and I drive a lot, cost of fuel is the largest share of my costs. The IRS allows ~$.55/mile (this changes regularly and I can't be bothered to look up the latest number), and I'm at 1/5th.

For my truck the numbers are different, but every time I check it turns out you can't actually use a truck for a lot of the things I use my truck for, so even though my per miles costs are something like $5/mile I don't really have a choice for those uses.
Google is no better. Eric Schmidt, while was Google's CEO suggested that young people should change their name upon reaching adulthood (as opposed to something like a "right to be forgotten" that EU citizens enjoy today):

Of course it was important, but I disagree that the system depended on it to maintain its very existence. If slavery didn't happen, the market still would have evolved around that fact. Capitalism would still exist, just with higher labor costs. Maybe cotton prices would have been a little higher as a result, and maybe the industrial revolution wouldn't have happened as quickly. Still would've happened though. I don't see much evidence to suggest otherwise, but I'll have to check out that book and see if the arguments are any good.
What the fuck, zuck.
He supported increasing NASA's overall budget. Obama simply objected to specific programs.

And I agree both Orion spacecraft and Ares rockets where poor uses of Nasa's funding.

Cancellation of Constellation program

On May 7, 2009, the Obama administration enlisted the Augustine Commission to perform a full independent review of the ongoing NASA space exploration program. The commission found the then current Constellation Program to be woefully under-budgeted, behind schedule by four years or more in several essential components, with significant cost overruns, and unlikely to be capable of meeting any of its scheduled goals under its current budget.[26][27] As a consequence, the commission recommended a significant re-allocation of goals and resources. As one of the many outcomes based on these recommendations, on October 11, 2010, the Constellation program was cancelled, ending development of the Altair, Ares I, and Ares V. The Orion Crew Exploration Vehicle survived the cancellation and was renamed the Multi-Purpose Crew Vehicle (MPCV), to be launched on the Space Launch System.[28]

PS: NASA had a related test launch in 2014, but GAO says even a 2023 launch date is optimistic. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orion_(spacecraft)
Exactly how I feel. I have grown accustomed to listening using all my high quality wired headphones, and equivalent wireless alternatives are expensive.

Also, converting my already great wired headphones is not possible without degrading the sound with any wireless Bluetooth connectivity options. Not to mention, wireless options run out of battery. Not great. I can see slowly removing this option but being forced to do so is annoying.

Also, I doubt Steve Jobs would love the dongles idea either.
I want to tell them "get over yourself."
I agree, it would almost be nice if you could allow Duck Duck Go to track some of your searches. Google knows I am after the web framework when I type Django. Duck Duck Go doesn't.
Jaywalking means they were walking when they did not have the right of way.

However, whether or not a driver is civilly liable for an accident usually doesn't even care about the right of way. For example, if a pedestrian is standing in the middle of the road attempting to block traffic. They have no right to be there, however, it is not ok to run them over.
This is the ultimate act of Silicon Valley arrogance, at it will backfire hard.

Not just on Facebook, and not just in the UK. This crosses a line all democratic nations in which SV companies have significant interests and even more significant influence will take note of.

SV and apparently large parts of HN are completely delusional if they think this won't have serious consequences.
I used a Firefox add-on for this a few months ago, but I don't think it was ever updated for compatibility with the webextensions API. If I'm remembering correctly, it was this:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/fb-purity-cle...

Worked very well for me. No reason you can't spin up an older version of FF (or 52 ESR) just to use this add-on.

I cleaned out all of my account's information first, and then slowly weaned myself off of use of the News Feed when I had free time. Eventually I wasn't even logging in once a week and just up and deleted my account.
I think some of those already exist but I might be misunderstanding your needs.

I think he's autistic personally, or getting close to it on the spectrum. He embodies a lot of the traits. His personality in public reminds me a lot of Connor McDavid, who I also suspect.
I have to agree again. What you point out is correct and I hope to be able to act accordingly.
My personal take-away is still that these kinds of ethical ponderings are a bit like 'first-world problems'. I have the luxury that I can accept or deny any job based on my personal moral values. If the alternative was to have to go to some place where my life is significantly worse, I'd probably think twice too.

This is the audio equivalent of the Face2Face algorithm that takes one person's face and places it onto the character in a video, matching the latter subject's expressions.

This means we now live in a world where you can create a recording of Donald Trump saying, "I colluded with the Russians to rig the election," and not only have the voice sound like Trump but also bring along his personal expressive style so that it becomes indistinguishable from Trump himself.

Would love to see these two combined - make an audio-video recording of an actor confessing to election fraud, then use Face2Face to swap in Trump's face and use Tacotron to swap in his voice.

An impressive shot... at their own foot.

The only thing Cannes is going to hurt in the long run is its own relevance within global popular culture. If they want to restrict themselves to movies that have been shown in French theaters as defined and regulated by the French government etc. etc., I suppose it's their prerogative to do so.

But they are sticking their heads in the sand if they don't realize that audiences are less interested in that particular subset of media than ever. (I don't think movie theaters will ever go away, at least not soon, but using them as part of the definition for "what is a movie" is stupid.)

I hope that Netflix, Amazon, HBO, Hulu, and others will continue to spend money on good cinema and continue to deliver it audiences in the way that audiences want to watch it. If they play the long game, they're going to win. Let the industry crusties pat each other on the back (this is politer than the metaphor I was originally going to use) at their awards -- audiences have an appetite for good storytelling and money to spend on it.
Not sure about ML, but there're several problems to solve before that. The service would need IP address that aren't from known cloud provier, otherwise it's trivial for them to notice and block. Also it'd have to look like a real user, so a full browser (posting directly to their endpoints will get you flagged). Then, each user can't post too much and the IP would need to be recycled as well.

Too much trouble to even start that.
You're both newbs. ;)
My first Linux box ran kernel 0.99.10.
On the web UI they have a "Bin" option, which is sort of like the recycling bin on Windows.

In the Bin folder, right clicking a file gives the option "delete forever"...whether that is actually the case or not I don't know.
If they launch in a lot of cities and we see a clear pattern of avoiding cities with lots of rain, that would tell you something.

But that's very different from launching in 2 or 3 cities that don't have a lot of rain and also have a bunch of other things in common.
I have considered moving to another email provider, but the fact is that maybe half of my emails will be sent to Google addresses. So they will still get my information. I have an Outlook account at work and the search is crap in comparison to Googles - which is another reason tying me to Google for the time being.

Facebook’s Zuckerberg Said to Agree to Testify Before Congress Over Data Privacy
The number of posters who harp on gun control, without even mentioning the failings that allowed this kid to carry out his attack approaches 100% on certain sites. I would say it's 80% even on this site.

As somebody who personally had (and witnessed others) fights in high school parking lots with rifles in the pickup windows of the combatants (yep, I'm over 40), and never heard of anybody ever considering escalating to firepower, I have to call BS on that. I expect to be down voted, but unless you feel that people have become more evil since your father was a kid, I don't know what to tell you.

As for gang violence and other crime, I invite you to look at Mexico (or Chicago), which have strict gun control.
...they are learning how to use Linux? Not one bit.

I bought my kids cheap low-end chromebooks, and they also get chromebooks issued to them during certain classes. There's zero linux learning going on there. They can't go into developer mode. There's no more linux learning there than there is BSD learning on an iPad.

They are only learning the Google Docs ecosystem. It's awesome if indoctrination in software ecosystem lock-in is your thing.

"But let the kids go with their preference so they can be dumb wage slaves" -- Nice. Thanks for the implication that I'm a bad parent for letting them complete their schoolwork on the iPad as they are required by their teachers.
Great leverage for the unions when negotiating severance terms.

"If you bosses are going to be so evil as to make cars with so few parts, then pay us a lot to go away!"
Or share a car for 50% off the cost.

They're going to recycle the cars faster than today, because they'll be used for closer to 100% of the time, rather than 10% today.
then it negates that whole idea of having a "self-driving" vehicle. the whole point is to let the vehicle drive itself while you can do whatever-it-is you want without paying attention, like sleeping or playing on your phone... you essentially are a passenger, not a driver.
So, that's not legally an unmarked crosswalk under California rules, then? (Streets are not meeting at approximately right angles and the local authorities have posted 'no pedestrians'.)

He also notably tapes over his webcam and microphone - you'd infer he thinks he could be surveiled that way. I wonder why.

I asked this a while ago, but when you delete something on FB, the data's probably not completely deleted.

There's likely data retained in backups (unless they have some way of pruning your data from backups), and it's likely that your data already sits on an external platform OUTSIDE of Facebook.

Unless Facebook requires apps that you connect to to delete your information gathered from Facebook when you delete your FB account or when you disconnect an app, you're likely to have your personal data and likes and comments already somewhere else.
There is still the isssue of the Photos permission granting access to all photos on the device.

It's crazy how close the original pitch was to classic Roguelikes — turn-based, random dungeon, single town at the top, and a stack of dungeon levels descending below. It's basically Rogue/Moria/Angband + graphics.

Of course, going real-time fundamentally changed the feel of the game, but the initial pitch was much more "bring Moria to the masses".
"Cookies were originally designed to track users across the web on browsers."

No. Cookies were originally designed to temporarily store state information.[1] I would be astonished if any of the designers envisioned in 1997 the persistent cross-site tracking that has become "normal" in the late 2010s.

If I disconnect and remove the part of my brain that holds my memory of my house, and walk in front of my house while holding that part of my brain in my hand as lumpy inert matter that's not understood/wired to the rest of me, we won't recognize the house either.

A notebook is swap space that has to be causally linked to you somehow (through your eyes, etc) to be useful just like a part of your brain has to be linked to you (generally through direct wiring).
Some actions are completely out of your control, though. Other people can still tag you (on pictures, locations, etc.), even if you hide it from your timeline. If there's an option to prevent people from tagging you, I haven't found it.
Lessons from Taking a Sabbatical as a Co-Founder/CTO
Hopefully he can demonstrate some of the concepts by applying them to his own website.
Apple makes its business selling to the sizable population who has money to spend and enjoys iOS apps and Apple hardware features. There is a similar set of premium academies in education. Tesla didn't wait to enter the car market until it was able to build a cheap car.
At least it is not central to their business.

In other words, the company is not rotten to it's core.

You've misunderstood my statement. California allows self-driving cars and has licensed 50 companies to test them in the state. California didn't allow Uber to operate on public roads because Uber didn't agree to the required oversight. Arizona allowed Uber to operate without reasonable oversight even after seeing videos of Uber autonomous cars running red lights. The result is that it took more lives than it saved, and that outcome was obvious to anybody paying attention.

Sounds like the core of the issue involves "French cultural exception" which "mandates a 36-month delay between a movie’s theatrical release and streaming date."

It's not clear to me if Cannes cares about the 36-month period (I can't imagine...) as much as theatrical release. If the latter, films like Manchester by the Sea which were released in the theaters would still compete at Cannes.

Seems absurd, particularly that this is enshrined in law, but that's just me.
Remember that Mozilla is basically a fiefdom of google - like the recent industry denouncements of fb this is all about opportunism and corporate power struggles with the users still being the commodity traded.
Also can someone explain what this container does that disabling third-party cookies doesn't (assuming you don't have other malware like flash installed) ?
Yes but now Facebook and similar social sites are a digital slot machine so users are addicted. They probably don't care about their image as much as when they were growing.

Sadly, I think the only way to replace a digital drug is going to be with a less evil digital drug. It's quite hard to break those habits.
I see what you're saying, and you're right that foreign influence is a big factor, but I'd still argue that the failure of the USSR shows a major flaw in the system, and that is that it is easily exploited by despots. I made a similar point in another comment so I'll just link it rather than copy/paste it: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16689969
That is simply incorrect. Copyright covers copying. It does not cover independent re-implementation. That is the point of clean-room re-implementation. It is not copying because--> clean room.

Silly Example: you design a phone book containing all the names and phone numbers of everyone in the city. To the extent that any subjective decisions were made in the design, it is a copyrighted work. I design a phone book. If I copy yours, it is a violation of your copyright. If I collate the underlying information and then make my own phone book it is not copying, even if it looks exactly the same.
Then those websites should be considered broken much like we consider Adobe Flash and sites with invalid TLS certificates.

I think it's important to remember what copyright is meant to protect -- expressions of ideas. You can't copyright the structure of an engine in a car. You can't copyright medicine.

There is a bit of a "intellectual property" slippy slope going on here. Whether or not something is useful or non-trivial is inconsequential.
Apple reveals new $299 iPad at education-themed event
Yes indeed. So many influential people use their influence to sow the seeds of the future they want in the public's mind. They do this by prophecising the future, and their followers do their best to make the prophecy a reality (often subconsciously).

>and I drive a lot,

this is probably the differentiator. I bike to work about 20% of the time in the winter, 80% of the time in the summer, and don't use my car for too much else. So the cost of the car and insurance amortized out over mile driven ends up being pretty high for me.
