Flash had better accessibility support than WebGL does today. Google could even crawl Flash content to a certain extent.

Besides, I said _WebGL as an alternative to the DOM_. Of course a complex visualization that can't be properly described with text will not care about supporting jaws (even though it might have gotten some free accessibility out of the box with Flash). If you rely on the DOM like most people do, there's a huge chance that you care about your text being machine-readable. Accessibility is just one of the showstoppers for generalized WebGL adoption. SEO is another.

I think some people severely underestimate the barrier of entry that WebGL/wasm needs to overcome to displace Javascript/DOM as general purpose tools.

Zuckerberg changed his mind on this in an interview in 2014:

"I don't know if the balance has swung too far, but I definitely think we're at the point where we don't need to keep on only doing real identity things," he says. "If you're always under the pressure of real identity, I think that is somewhat of a burden."

That's very clever. I tried to do something along those lines. On a second thought, why bother, its just a flag for them.
Of course, that works because "sufficient supplies" is defined as "sufficient at price X to those who are willing to pay X" not "sufficient for those who only wanted to pay the original price".

The principle works for anything at any price, nearly vacuously.

For instance, there are sufficient supplies of Lamborghini automobiles, ensured by the price being high enough that making them is profitable.
I would recommend mentoring/volunteering in FIRST.

Given the disaster ratings at the latest Oscars, Netflix and Amazon might just as well go ahead and start their own new awards shows and lock out old Hollywood. It's obvious who has the power now, old Hollywood is a little dog barking at a couple of tigers.

This is a prime example of an industry responding the wrong way to being disrupted.
I don't understand where this cheerleading for these multi-billion dollar companies started.

First off, these companies aren't banned at all. They are free to show them.

They can't compete unless they show their movie in a French cinema, which they refuse to.

The only way to legally watch these movies like Okja is to subscribe to these companies. If Cannes gives out an award, you can't go see it in an independent cinema, you can't buy it on disc, you must subscribe to Netflix or Amazon. I completely side with Cannes on this fact. You can't celebrate film by promoting the distributor (and in this case, their subscription model).

Netflix and Amazon are going to continue their quest to destroy cinemas, and in this case, French business. If Netflix and Amazon want to start their own awards, then they can go ahead and do it. I'll make sure to stay away from it.
And CA was introduced to Palantir by none other than Sophie Schmidt, the daughter of one Eric Schmidt. It’s turtles all the way down, and anyone who thinks their private data is not being abused elsewhere (wink, wink) needs to perhaps think again.

>Global expansion of C4 biomass is recorded in the diets of mammals from Asia, Africa, North America, and South America during the interval from about 8 to 5 Ma.

That's a 3 million year period, ending 5ma. You say CO2 starvation is down to 150ppm, but atmospheric CO2 levels have fluctuated between 180-200 (ice ages) to 300ppm (warm periods) for the past half million years or so.[1] Meanwhile C3 plants (those supposedly which suffered during your linked expansion of C4 biomass) are around 95% of plant biomass currently. Doesn't seem like plants on the whole are starving for CO2 at this time.

This is lovely. But if you're developing something on the web:, here's a quick comparison with what you get in WebRTC in your browser: SCTP over DTLS:

> Connection-oriented protocol (like TCP) -- yup
> ... but message-oriented instead of stream-oriented. -- yup
> Mix of reliable and unreliable messages -- yup
> Messages can be larger than underlying MTU, the protocol performs fragmentation and reassembly, and retransmission for reliable -- yup
> Bandwidth estimation based on TFP-friendly rate control (RFC 5348) -- I don't think so?
> Encryption. -- yup
> Tools for simulating loss and detailed stats measurement -- you can use linux's netem on containers to simulate loss; not but you have to collect your own stats.

Eric Schmidt, CEO of Google, 2009

> Yesterday, the web was buzzing with commentary about Google CEO Eric Schmidt's dangerous, dismissive response to concerns about search engine users' privacy. When asked during an interview for CNBC's recent "Inside the Mind of Google" special about whether users should be sharing information with Google as if it were a "trusted friend," Schmidt responded, "If you have something that you don't want anyone to know, maybe you shouldn't be doing it in the first place."

Telephone books are copyrightable. This is black letter law.
As said by the Supreme Court in Feist, "Notwithstanding a valid copyright, a subsequent compiler remains free to use the facts contained in another's publication to aid in preparing a competing work, so long as the competing work does not feature the same selection and arrangement,"

In other words, if it does feature the same selection and arrangement, it is a violation of copyright.

Your statement that APIs are not copyrightable is not true as well.

I am working on some longer form content in this area and hoping to learn more about what happened with your co-founder or co-founders.

I agree that it was not a slam dunk (you post crap on the internet, we take your guns). However, as this Miami Herald article [1] points out, there were just so many scary events that the authorities (Sheriff and FBI) were aware of in this kids history, that starting the process of mental health evaluation most certainly should have occurred.

People who reversed engineered the IBM BIOS had the API specification -- actually they had the entire source code. They didn't just fire random interrupts at the BIOS and see what it did. But what they did do was take that specification and describe it the detail necessary for completely fresh implementation.
Your comment was about Modi and Zuckerberg not Facebook and US election. Facebook had zero impact on Modi's election. It was anti-incumbency followed by a strong track record of Modi as Chief Minister for 3 terms that made the difference. On the contrary, Trump has zero track record and yet got elected to the highest office.

I have priced it out, as I don't like driving, and it was cost me insanely more to taxi/etc. I didn't even get done pricing, tbh heh.

It's roughly a $50-$70 ride for me every morning to work. That already puts me over triple my car payment. The other random trips to the store/etc would be far cheaper, thankfully, but depending on usage I can't imagine it being less than my gas costs in a month (roughly $50/m). There's still repairs/insurance/licensing/etc, but I doubt they're costing me the $700 extra that just driving to work would be costing me via taxi.

The problem is I don't live in the city, so my distances are greater, and tend to be very anti-taxi.

I actually want to take an uber to town on the weekends so I can drink/etc at dinner, but I usually don't because of how expensive it is.

Mind you, I don't think it's unfairly priced currently - but that still doesn't make it as cheap as I'd need it to be to use all the time.

You could upload the photos to S3 and share links to the friends that are interested (i.e. those who text/call and ask "How was your vacation?"). There's not really a need to post the photos for any of your FB friends to see - most of them don't care.

For discussing plans, you have the following options:

1. Group email thread

2. Group text (either SMS or even a chat app with E2E encryption)

3. Conference call

4. Slack group

5. Group IM (Hangouts, Jabber-based thingy)

6. Private Trello board (can you use Asana for the same thing?)

This is a huge problem on a lot of the internet unfortunately, with YouTube and Pinterest only being the tip of the iceberg. Neither influencers or review sites seem to like disclosing affiliate links, and even a fair few media sources (especially lesser known ones) like trying to hide any associations they may have with the topics of their stories.

It's especially bad in various tech fields, with the web hosting world being a minefield of shady promoters, fake review sites and people promoting stuff on their sites just for a bit of cash in return. Hell, even the likes of WordPress used to do this with the 'recommended hosting companies' on their official site.

But yeah, I think the only solution is to drastically increase the resources given to organisations like the FTC and ramp up the fines enough that even a millionaire influencer doesn't feel it's worth lying to their audience.
With current tech we might get a self sustaining Mars population at ~100 million people. But, at that point you don't need rockets so it's not solving any real issues.

It's getting to that 100 million population with supporting infrastructure to build things like CPU's that's the problem. Not simply building rocket engines which would be relatively
easy and relatively cheap to ship.
Depends on what scares you.

If you are worried about your privacy, Google is way scarier. If you don't use Facebook as a social networking site, the data it will have to you is minimal. Can be made even smaller with a couple of extensions available on all browsers.

Now Google owns one of the largest ads network in existence, which means you're being tracked by Google every time you set foot on any site that runs ads. Plus, those that don't probably use Google Analytics, which is also tracking you. Plus, there's Youtube, Google office suite, GMail (even if you don't use it, half of your correspondents do, including many companies so you don't even know by domain name that you send data to Google). Plus, Google Drive, etc. Plus Android, plus Google Play, plus Google Maps, etc. The amount of your private data that is going to Google, if you have any online presence, is stunning. Google is clearly scarier.

Now, if you're worried about these data being used in partisan political battles, the picture is different. As we know by now, both US political tribes has been able to successfully collect and use Facebook social graph data for their purposes. Facebook management remains more or less neutral so far on this question - while the top management undoubtedly belongs to the blue tribe, and, as we've seen, has been glad to provide access to blue tribe campaigns, the red tribe has been able to use the data too. For Google, again, the company is managed by the blue tribe, and openly sides with it at every opportunity, but we don't know anything about how or whether the data is used for political purposes. If you are concerned about the red tribe gaining the same access to private data and control over mega-corporations as the blue one has been enjoying so far, Facebook would be scarier for you, while Google would look pretty safe - even though they have a lot of data, people with correct tribal affiliations are guarding it, so no need to worry there.
Exactly. I don't see what you are disagreeing with. The point is that in order to leverage Java's developer base as quickly as possible they made it possible for Java developers to essentially develop for Android without needing to learn a new syntax for all the APIs they already knew. That is why they copied.
By this reasoning, shouldn't the movie producers refuse to allow their movies to be seen outside the 'cinema' (movie theater)? After all, doesn't that mean it's no longer 'cinema' and actually undermining their artistic vision? Some people even have the gall to watch their masterpieces on tiny 6" phone screens with a single, crappy mono speaker!

Do you have a source? I am not doubting this, just curious on the connection.
With respect to the Amazon link you provided, did you watch the video?

Amazon explicitly states that the ads provided are targeted based upon user action. So if you go to Amazon searching for music, they may show an ad on the side of the page that provides a discount offer for a specific band or artist.

As far as I know, Amazon doesn't sell user data to anyone, even for advertising.
Now there's a business idea.. have an app running on your phone and PC that watches your "normal" facebook activity to establish a baseline, and ever so slightly perverts it over time using the same connection so the IP/location information still lines up. Slowly and methodically so the information doesn't get flagged as bogus. Start with overtly partisan political stuff since that's the easiest to classify.

Call it Social Chaff as a Service (SCaaS).
How is information anything but the most powerful weapon.
Consider the quote "All warfare is deception".

To get around this, you'd need the opposing side of the deal to share much more.
The end result is a world with a lot more openness. This only works if we turn of the outrage and shame, but that seems like it can't work with human nature.

Really, we either accept that facebook and similar have this advantage, or we do something to keep our information from them.

The other alternative is to run a misinformation campaign against them. Something tor-like but with likes. That'd break the core monetization concept of these kinds of sites though.
He still wants all public-facing identities tied to a real identity he can track and analyze. That encourages even greater abandon of one's privacy, as you worry less about tying your real name to still-monetizable private thoughts.

Looks like they should have gone B2B sooner.

> About two years ago, we reallocated resources and shifted our focus to a more profitable customer cohort: small businesses. But, we decided to keep the popular-but-unprofitable parts of our business running, with small teams of their own behind them. This was a mistake—my mistake.

It also looks like they should have ceased all consumer focused activities immediately as well.

The whole subthread focusing on the Android VM is completely irrelevant. The entire argument at this point has to do with the inclusion of the Java APIs. Not even Oracle or the appeals court are harping on Google's custom VM.

To what degree does Apple's privacy stance come from selling hardware versus Tim Cook, as a gay man born in Mobile, Alabama in 1960 [1], instinctively understanding why people need privacy?

There were opportunities for Apple to pivot away from privacy. (They no longer just sell hardware. In the quarter ending December 30th, 2017, Apple earned 18% of their net sales from services [2].) But privacy remains a value they choose to ensure they remain incentivized to protect. That isn't the case at Facebook.

A rule of thumb that I try to follow (but often neglect) is to keep changes either sweeping/shallow or narrow/deep. So if you're refactoring a module and that has implications across the codebase, don't try to make a deep change to the business logic at the same time.

Keep those tasks separate.

You act as though seeing it in an independent cinema is an advantage? Isn't a month of Netflix's subscription cheaper than going to the cinema? That's the real problem. Trying to charge that much for a single viewing of a single movie. Consumers will cheer for whoever is not trying to screw them over at any given time. Cinemas have taken advantage of consumers for decades, and continue to try to do so by banning content from their festivals.
And next up, plausibly even better ways to simulate massive viewing at home via virtual reality tech getting perpetually better.

Obviously home projection tech is amazing now as well, if one wants to leave the glass behind.
