you can do that with the firefox Multi-Account containers extension. I don't go to that extreme, but its nice to have a few key profiles. I have work and personal, plus a few others (like banking).

What is really nice, is you can tell it to ALWAYS open your banks website in a particular container, and it will. If you go to that URL from a tab in your work profile, it will switch to the banking profile for you.
When's the last time he said, "you own your data?" That could be construed as fraud, at least in my imagination.
How can you simultaneously say "a pool that every single person needs to build" and "nowhere you can build"?

The appeal of the suburbs is pretty obvious. There's enough room for you to build a bigger house, some out structures like pools and sheds, and some grass for your kids/dog to play in. The downside of that is it isn't walkable. That downside might not make it worth it for you, but it's worth it for others.
Their blog post says "built for Waymo’s transportation service". To me that sounds like they won't be available for regular people to buy.
There are things about Facebook's privacy policies and respect for its users that are perpetually in the news that it seems like they could easily nip in the bud to garner some goodwill.

Their dark patterns around deleting your account is one example. Why not just allow people to quickly and easily delete their accounts? Not "deactivate" while they send you photos of your friends, telling you how much they'll miss you. Not soft delete. Hard delete. Commit to allowing users to just leave if they aren't finding value in the platform.

Why do they resist dealing with that kind of low hanging fruit? Do they view offering easy opt-out functionality to present a major risk to the business?
I'd think most amusement park / fair ride fatalities are due to maintenance problems.

I can see that being difficult to oversee, especially with the mobile fairs that pack up the rides and move to another town. Check a ride in one town, and maybe on the way to the next town the truck hits a big pothole and something breaks on the tilt-a-whirl.

But checking a new ride's engineering and design and construction ought to be possible, just like checking that a building is up to code.

Of course, this is self-harming Kansas, so amusement rides are probably checked by a poultry inspector, one day each month.
Have you look at rocket etc... Curious about your decision process.
Makes perfect sense! Thank you.
Bullshit.

Google doesn't have a social graph of 2.2 billion people, with all their posts and likes.

And if you don't trust Google, then Bing and DuckDuckGo are a click away. If you don't trust Facebook, there are no real alternatives.

Yes, there are issues with Google. But they're not in the same universe as Facebook.

To suggest otherwise is false equivalence.
> Have you considered, that the AI is simply trying to greedily close the points on it's knowledge graph?

No, all I've thought is that the AI sucks and is broken and for a company that's supposed to have the smartest people and unlimited money it should know better.

Beyond that, no.
A world where Google owns transportation services on the West coast and Sunbelt, and Uber/Lyft owns the East Coast and Northern cities, is a world where in 5 years Google owns transportation services everywhere. Knocking out many of Uber's most profitable markets makes its runway even shorter.
It's really not.

If I take an API, mangle the names, and then provide a shim that translates calls is that suddenly radically different?
Yes, it's an ethical argument.

There are plenty of unethical litigating attorneys out there.

Some legal cultures are much better at weeding them out than others; some legal cultures even cultivate them as if they are valuable to the profession and the society it is embedded in. They aren't. They're caustic, and worse, they occasionally become elected politicians and elected or appointed judges.

The first commercial release of android was 2008, the first release of openjdk was 2006. It wouldn't be that hard to start with an openjdk repo, and delete all the files as you added in the davlik code. Release it as GPL, and call it a derivative work. Not that I think they should have to do that just for the sake of implementing the API

Awesome. Thanks for the informative reply!
I find this part interesting:

> Zuckerberg reportedly took action after he learned that a developer wanted to purchase one of his neighbor's homes and use the fact that Zuckerberg lived close by as a marketing tactic. He started purchasing the homes last December. Zuckerberg will lease the four homes he just bought back to its current residents.

I honestly believe I would do the same. That developer sounds like a jerk.

Edit: Assuming I had the millions to do it, that is.
Perhaps tax law could penalize part-time work while rewarding full-timers?

Maybe companies have to pay into a health-care tax for part-time workers that would get covered by medicaid, plus a part-time worker fee/tax.

I wonder what the unintended ramifications of this would be. People end up working as full-timers for a contracting company that gigs out its individuals like current employment agencies? Companies try to classify everyone as a 1099 contractor? Probably not...
I'll believe it when I see it; the authors are well-known for arbitrarily-long delays on upcoming releases as well as bare-bones git repositories with nothing inside.

Unfortunately, I expect that this reference implementation will be a pile of C++, but hopefully the protocol itself will be sufficiently-well-documented to permit implementation in other languages.

Sorry, but no.

People know that (facebook|their partner) is abusing them (privacy-wise|physically) and they choose to continue the relationship.

That's it. No one chooses a relationship with a drone, and to date Facebook haven't found a way to force people to create accounts and continue to use them, at gun-point.

Did you watch the video? I think any decent self-driving tech would've seen her, but I highly contend with OP's assertion that an "alert human" would have stopped in time. The road was very dark, and she came out of nowhere.

I left Facebook about six years ago and have never missed it. The drolly named Discord has been far more rewarding to me, and has proved even more valuable in non-gaming contexts. An open-source Discord with excellent privacy respect is about all I want.
While I mostly agree, I was mainly trying to distinguish ignoring regulations and fraud and generally being horrible from murder, kidnapping, treason, etc which some people's minds might have gone to otherwise.

That said, I don't doubt some companies fitting my initial criteria also dabbled in these more extreme crimes occassionally to get what they wanted. I'd like to think it's much less common though.
Perhaps they only build parks in low-regulation states.

I believe that Mobileye has said the opposite in cases where their current technology would not have been able to respond as well. And their technology was on the vehicle being involved in the crash, but not being used.

In the past, Mobileye has made it a point to be very specific about what their technology is and is not currently capable of. I don't see a problem with that.
Neither of those claims are completely true: they definitely built some of the bay bridge, but definitely not all of it. They have invested in Africa, but don’t own a big percentage of Africa (if owning a continent was even sensical). China does not have overwhelming positions outside of manufacturing, which is fairly fungible.

4. Amazon Reviews - an API to retrieve reviews for a product.

Thanks for bringing this up.

This issue has been really itchy for a while for me personally. There is no way to trust reviews of anything online anymore. In the past, I have been relying on online reviews and feel smart, now I feel I'm dumb if I trust online reviews.

In a perfect world, the ones who earn referral bonuses have to disclose, but I don't think that is going to happen. So I think there needs to be a reverse trend: The ones who don't earn referral bonuses need to tell their audience so. Same as if you think GMO food is harmful and there isn't enough regulation to make GMO food to be properly labeled, then you should advertise your GMO-free/organic food as a selling point.

I have a free software project that needs hardware purchased. So I listed the BOM with unaffiliated links on Amazon, and the message:

>All the links above on Amazon are not affiliated and are linked for reference only. You are encouraged to search for better prices elsewhere and buy at local stores to support their businesses. Usually, MicroCenter has better prices on the Pi and the touchscreen.

>

>If you buy on Amazon, I would encourage you to use http://smile.amazon.com and select a charity of your choice (If you don't have one in mind, please consider the Free Software Foundation/FSF and the Electronic Frontier Foundation/EFF).

People asked why don't I have affiliated links, and I said money isn't what I look for running this project. I'm basically running a social experiment with my project, and having fun with it. I guess for once I can say I am the change I want to see in the world.
I wouldn't be surprised if "up to 20,000" just means Jaguar said they can't build more than that because it would interrupt their ability to meet their regular orders and/or it would require too much investment / hiring to expand their factories.

Although, if 10,000 were definitely enough, they might not have made an agreement for 20,000, so maybe it does sort of tell you something.
No one can answer this question for you. People can provide guidance on what NOT to do from their experience, but ultimately this boils down to 'how do you find a job you love.' There's a workbook out there called "Do what you are." It's a bit dated, but worth the $15.

Sure, but I think the point is that it is hypocritical to declare that privacy is over -- for other people, like your users -- and guard your own privacy jealously.

"Do as I say, not as I do."
premium is kinda debatable when we are talking about phones.

They are heavily subsidized by the phone operators in most markets (sure you end up paying at least as much to the operator, but most people only see the upfront cost).

There are always multiple generations on sale at the same time, and lower cost iterations of the current gen as well.

Not to mention refurbished phones.

In the USA, iOS is roughly half of the smartphone landscape. Yeah, the less costly iPhone is more costly than the cheapest Android phone, but I don't think it can be said that it is premium hardware.
Maybe I'm crazy, but I figure that Google has way more personal and in-depth information on me. Maybe I like a few political posts and share some recipes on Facebook. But people search their deepest, darkest questions on Google while logged in to their Google account. Every email I have sent and received is on Google. Google tracks my location 24 hours a day. Google stores my work documents. Google knows every video I've watched on YouTube. Google has every photo that my phone takes.

Even allowing your premise, they're separate issues. Gun control is about more than school shootings, and one could turn your ire back onto you for focusing only on school shootings when there are many more kinds of mass shootings out there, not to mention interpersonal fights escalating to firepower.

That would fly in the face of a couple hundred years of law.

That aside - in most cases no laws that existed at the time were violated, so its not as if he knowingly violated the law - TCE for example was not known to be harmful until the mid-70's, was not known to be environmentally persistent until even later, and was not declared a carcinogen until 2005.

Imagine that you're a cofounder of a company that made billions - but you personally didnt benefit much from it - beyond a paycheck - is it fair for you to be personally responsible for that environmental damage, or should the government go after the company you worked for?

Not yet, source most FB engineers get paid a lot.
GDPR also governs the way in which consent can be obtained, and the withdrawal of consent.
Legally speaking, there might not be anything wrong with it.

Practically speaking, he just snubbed an influential, cross-party group of MPs, and the House of Commons where those MPs and their colleagues sit has the closest thing to absolute power that exists within our legal system.

These are people who could pass emergency legislation imposing a windfall tax on Facebook amounting to 100% of everything it does or owns in UK territory and authorising HMRC to immediately seize assets accordingly. They could pass laws requiring all UK-based ISPs to filter Facebook traffic any way they want. They could pass laws imposing an extremely privacy-focussed data protection regime, even more so than the GDPR that is already due to come into effect in a couple of months.

Now, obviously such extreme reactions are unlikely in response to this snub, even given the history here. But there is a whole scale of possible responses to Facebook's current situation, and large fines and/or some of the people involved actually going to prison are not out of the question. Tempting fate may not be the smartest business move Facebook could make.
She got a pretty short sentence, to be served in multiple short periods of incarceration. I suppose so she isn't away from the kids very long at a time.

I think they took pity on her, as it was the guy's idea, he assured her it would be safe, she had one kid, and had another one on the way at the time of the incident.

Of course, if she were black she'd probably be in for life.
>Is this even necessary in the age of GDPR?

Yes.
Interestingly, from a game theory perspective, the purpose of leadership is to coordinate people, and charisma is absolutely a valid way to accomplish that.

The problem with the purest form of this suggestion ("build two") is that Mars missions are missions of exploration, so you learn things, and then the next mission needs different instruments. So you really don't want to build/test/integrate two.

But, I think your comment is getting at something very important, which is to have a pipeline of missions that run in some orderly way, so that you can build on prior knowledge and success.

Like the original Mars Pathfinder rover (1997) paving the way for Spirit/Opportunity (MER, 2004), and then Curiosity/MSL (2012) and next Mars 2020 (2020).

These have shared a lot of components, and some prototype systems that started out as "experiments" on MER made their way into "production" in MSL - such as autonomous data-taking (http://www.planetary.org/blogs/guest-blogs/2018/0313-automat...), and computer vision to detect obstacles during descent (https://www-robotics.jpl.nasa.gov/projects/projectImage.cfm?... -- this moldy old page is from MER, but the same idea was later used on MSL and slated for M2020).

If you can set up this kind of pipeline, it's very powerful.

> and until now it's mostly been western nations doing things to China

Except of course in the US case, China has had no greater friend than the US over the last half century. In fact, no other nation comes even remotely close to that title.

From destroying the Empire of Japan that butchered millions of Chinese during the occupation, to protecting China from getting nuke-genocided by Russia in 1969, to Nixon aggressively seeking peaceful diplomatic & trade ties, to US companies investing extraordinary sums of capital into building out China's initial industrial base, to US retailers happily importing trillions of dollars of Chinese goods (again further building out their industrial base), to the US having never taken action on Taiwan or over-stepped China's red lines on that despite having vast military superiority until recently.
Yep. I got to say to my boss recently "you know those 2-4 servers I requested? You can forgot about that now, I optimized some things and we have plenty of capacity now on the one machine we've been using." That's an easy conversation to have.
So the main purpose of new technology is to help corporations spy on people. Google Maps wants to know where you go, Facebook wants to know whom do you call, chinese SDKs want their share of data.

Serious question, what does "FBI not picking up the kid" mean? Were they supposed to arrest him? Confiscate his guns? My understanding is they were tipped off that he introducing himself as a school shooter and acting suspiciously. If they had followed up on that tip, is that grounds for arrest? If it is, would they be able to either keep him in jail until trial or confiscate his guns until trial? Same question for the sheriff's department.
