I dunno, you're sort of assuming that all regulations are equally important for safety, I think most people would agree some regulations are only there to protect existing businesses from competition. But all regulations have to be followed, so what do startups do about that?

When AirBnB and Uber started they ignored all the regulations except the ones they wanted.. and it wasn't that bad. It was just, do you trust that a random person will let you sleep in their house or give you a ride without having a bad experience. All the existing regulations that applied said "no, of course you need taxes to pay inspectors and check all these boxes to protect people", but it turned out... yeah, you could just let people do their thing and it would turn out ok and not cost that much.

Doing the same thing slightly differently and claiming the regulations don't apply is risky, but ultimately whether you win or not is if you can deliver better service for lower prices safely. If so, the public will back you and you'll eventually be allowed to operate but with some negotiated subset of regulations that will emphasize the safety parts (because the public likes those) and limit most of the anti-competitive stuff (because the public hates those parts). That's exactly what happened with Uber and AirBnb. There's really no other way to change regulations these days.

I think we need companies like that to come along and show just how badly entrenched businesses can regulate their way to being protected against competitors and capture higher prices.
Money don't smell to them, memory in the business world is short if the price is right.

Right, but the problem here is that social networks need to grow exponentially. Without massive growth, they are useless, because you're not connected to anyone else. Email works, because everyone has email, mostly because it's free. Which leads to fast adoption.
Apple is probably going to produce a similar document that details at a high level how the security works. If they follow the example that they set with iOS devices, what they won't do is provide the source code for these components.
By definition, if the maintainer of some OSS software doesn't have the time/energy/willingness to make the software run on Apple's new chip, you can do it yourself.

I just wish other systems would adopt pledge.

Of all the priviledge dropping mechanisms I have encountered, pledge seemed the most comprehensible.
This progression is impressive and the examples are visually stunning but I'm a bit concerned about how much the mouse is being used. When there's too many panels, fields and values on the screen, how do you keep your hands on the keyboard?

In the IDEs that I've tried, I find them impossible to use if there aren't keyboard shortcuts for everything. As an extreme example, take a look at Eclim which merges the functionality of the Eclipse code engine with the GUI of vi - http://eclim.org/index.html (note that I don't use this as my daily editor - I'm not proficient enough yet or perhaps it's just a bit too extreme).
> media and government observers, and anybody making incorrect statements is most of the time scrutinized and exposed.

This is not true. When groups of people get together in public, they're free to state falsehoods. Big Brother-style government oversight is not the answer to the "problem" of that freedom.
I don't understand the appeal of Turo. I hate car rentals, but can't believe renting from a random to be a superior experience to them.

SilverCar on the other hand, is amazing. They just need better accessibility at airports.
Facebook was cool when it was used by the Obama campaign to have him elected or to push neoliberal values on everybody. Now that Facebook helped Trump win and is being used by people who don't believe in "human rights" to spread information, we have a very big problem here.
Other top companies also give signing bonuses as well as the usual vesting schedule, so I'm not sure this really evens it out.
None of the religious texts of the popular religions where a particular text is central have a strong, well-defined “internal logic”

Let me clarify: if a logic can be found in a religious text, it will be used. Logic of violence, logic of profit, logic of slavery...all of these are illustrated by history.

Then I think the discussion should reflect that. So what has changed is that now there's apparently an explicit rule that news stations must continue to follow the behavior they've been exhibiting for decades. Also, there's a little more structure to it now.
I know a couple of people from local bands, and they all get basically nothing from streaming. What little they make is made from shows and merch sales.
Just to clarify, is the remote position only available if you are working from Atlanta? Or are you saying remote workers would be working for the Atlanta office, but can be anywhere? Thanks.
If iOS will be by that time the only mainstream way to make money from developing software (happening already), people would care very little about OSS there...
Mark wants "Supreme Court for Hate Speech".

Does he not realize that US Supreme Court considers hate speech as legal speech?

Can the gods of tech universe please come back to ground and realize that it is the US Constitution and the might of the US people enforcing US laws including patents and copyrights, that has been guaranteeing the safety of their creations so far?

How about some gratitude and nod for freedoms offered in USA on the platforms they created?
ARM less powerful? Wait and see what Apple can do with their own ARM-design if they target Desktops / Laptops. We might get to see 32 or even 64 cores in a regular MBP. Now tell me how THAT would be less powerful than the current Intel offering.
Influencing elections would affect quite a number of people. When its the US elections, then it likely does have an impact on the rest of the world.

We're a team from the HFT world that is fed up with the state of blockchain exchanges. Existing exchanges are sluggish, unreliable, and horribly designed—creating a miserable place to trade during the brief window before your money is stolen. We're building a real exchange platform to fintech standards and calling it BitBridge.

BitBridge is a next generation cryptocurrency exchange platform, straddling the divide between centralized and decentralized trading. Built to engineering standards far beyond any other exchange on the market, we offer superior reliability, security, liquidity, and performance. And we do this all with verifiably fair matching algorithms and a need for minimal custody of user assets.

So funny to watch Fake News Networks, among the most dishonest groups of people I have ever dealt with, criticize Sinclair Broadcasting for being biased. Sinclair is far superior to CNN and even more Fake NBC, which is a total joke.
https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/98079918342580224...

I think it's reasonable to conclude that POTUS likes that Sinclair compels local news anchors to recite scripts that present a favorable impression of, support for, his policies or him personally.

This is the American crony capitalism version of what Putin did with his state media in order to gain and retain control of the country, and destroy his adversaries. Trump won't have to have his adversaries poisoned. He's poisoning the ability for people to triangulate. And near as I can tell this is what people who support him want. They do not want contrary opinions. They want an autocrat.

I do appreciate this advice. It is certainly one path I could take, and given the situation stays the same, probably will take.

I do believe there is hope for reconciliation here, but if not, you are correct that I shouldn't let my ties to the company be something I can't shake off.
That's wicked. Does FB know who is inciting this violence? Is it a bot swarm that's training to weaponize FB/social media?
Presumably their "desktop-grade" A-whatever chip will have a higher TDP and clock speed than their mobile counterparts.

This quote is from this Vox interview: https://www.vox.com/2018/4/2/17185052/mark-zuckerberg-facebo...

The really interesting follow-up question here, which didn't get asked, would've been, "who's doing that?"
I was never in. Good riddance.
Facebook's current problems should be a learning case for unintended consequences. Zuckerberg just saw the benefits of technology but had a blind eye towards the problem. He's only now admitted that there are problems but these problems have been building. His motto of move fast and break things does not scale and eventually really important things break and can't be fixed.

We need to keep this in mind for the coming technologies which have a greater impact on society. Yes, tech is important but not at the cost of Society's well being.
Actually "vintage" has a specific meaning and is at least 5 years after the product is no longer manufactured. See https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201624.
That's not remotely true. There is some crossover, which is notable. But that means that the fastest iPhone is faster than some of the slower desktops. Intel's current single core leader is a coffee lake running at 4.7 GHz with like 12MB of core-speed cache. Be real.
Computer architectures routinely see 3x performance jumps across different power budgets. This rule has held over decades.

Clock speeds alone can probably increase by 30%. Caches and internal datapaths can double or more. Then you can start to add in more execution units or more expensive branch-prediciton or even new more power-hungry instructions.

A 4 Watt Intel Pentium 4410Y Kaby Lake for mobile devices gets about 1800 on Geekbench, while a 115 Watt Intel Core i7-7700K Kaby Lake for desktops gets 5600.

I'm just going to say it: the Apple laptop CPU is going to get Geekbench score... above 9000!

And, yes, I do have a CPU design background.
That is an utterly uncharitable interpretation of what's happened here.
Pity people still propel horrible names of software we had since 60s... How can any outsider take us seriously?
Actually, I think this whole "connect people at all costs" meme is pushing the wrong narrative. Facebook's failure isn't that it connected too many people, it's that it only made certain kinds of connections, while failing to make others.

In other words, they've done the easy work of strengthening existing weak social graphs—and gotten rich doing so—without doing the hard work of building actual new connections between people.

Apple has always gone down the path of fewer, more powerful cores instead of packing many, weaker ones. Apple's chips were dual core until A10.
> because it may potentially wear out the battery prematurely. This may be a myth.

I thought it was a myth too, so when I got my first cell phone, I left it plugged whenever I was home, even when I had used it so little that it was still showing full charge. After a time, however, its battery started to get "fat".

I bought a new battery, and since then only plugged the charger when the phone was no longer showing full charge. That battery still works, and is still as "thin" as it was when bought.
I mean, of course, it's still their right to release or keep any source code they produce. We shouldn't be expecting them to release the source code, but even a whitepaper is better than what Intel is doing.
Geekbench is a poor tool. Maybe for simple mathematical operations, but x86-64 has a larger instruction set than what the A11 supports
True. Agencies adore creating new law out of thin air (and referring to it as mandated by the existing law, not independent guidelines they just thought up.) This is more of a public shot over the bow of agencies than it is a law - "sufficient age" doesn't actually specify anything.
I'm not developing anything desktop right now but when I think about it the conclusion I come to is to give up on MS technologies and go with QT. Much more stable and you get Linux for (almost) free.
He seems to be interviewing with anyone that would take him to discuss these recent issues - except with Congressional and Parliamentary committees. That's when he decides it's best to send "the people in charge of those products" because those people are supposedly better informed on what happened.

So if we are to believe his excuse, it's not okay to mislead Congress, but it's fine to mislead the public with incorrect information.

This doesn't make any sense. Why are you lumping AI experts into a group?

I'm trying to picture if the government went around to all highly qualifying AI PhDs asking them if they would like to join a prominent ethics panel to guide and aid in AI ethics regulation in industry. So, you're claiming they're going to decline that or accept and sabotage under the assumption that they're a. all members of a giant AI consortium and b. any ethics regulation is going to destroy their industry?

As bad of an example as this is - look at other industries. Banking officials in government who set banking policies come from the finance industry. While this certainly has its problems and how they get there comes into question, they actually understand the industry they're regulating.
So the question is how many people are at the show because they found the band on Spotify/Pandora/Youtube/etc? My guess is it's a pretty significant chunk. It's the best marketing tool independent artists have ever had, especially compared to the days when you had to buy/borrow a physical CD just to check out their music.
1) You need to decide what's important to you. Your family relationship or money. What could happen is that you fight it and the family turns against you, not just your dad but everyone else since he control's the money. Everyone else will get inline not to get cut off. So only fight if you don't care about the outcome. Don't assume that you can repair the relationship ever if it breaks.

2) Doesn't matter if you fight it or not. Don't let this hold you back. You have gone through the process, you know what it takes to build a business. Start your own, it might work out immediately, but keep trying. Only keep working for the company if the pay is enough, if you can command more pay go get a job else where. Work for the company as a consultant and charge higher pay. So instead of say $20/hr 40hrs a week. They can have you on retainer for $200/week for 1hr and after that $50/hr. Assuming you don't have much to do. That way you make more money working else where, but you still stay active in the company and hopeful the extra money will turn to more savings you can pile into your future venture.

Best of luck.
They are free to state falsehoods. However, gatherings of even a moderate size ger covered in local newspapers, which would analyze and publish their own perspectives. Generally, the larger the gathering, the higher the scrutiny.

However the new platforms allow everyone to create very large gatherings anytime. Both the size and number of these gatherings are very large, and so are their scopes. It becomes impossible for people to keep track of the content discussed in these and people then go by whatever they feel good to believe in. On a country level, this can cause huge changes, both good and bad.

Buried Lede: "But people of different races and genders still fare differently under the guidelines. Race looms large, according to a November 2017 report from the sentencing commission. It found that black men in federal court are sentenced to 19.1 percent more time, on average, than white men who, at least on paper, committed the same crimes and have similar criminal histories."
Modern lithium-ion batteries have a really nice voltage regulator and smart charger embedded within which can estimate cell wear, count charge/discharge cycles, and tell you how much absolute charge is remaining.

It's at least possible for the manufacturer to be using this information instead of simply counting the hours.
> In a real world gathering, you have media and government obseevers, and anybody making incorrect statements is most of the time scrutinized and exposed.

Yeah, we've never had genocidal movements whose propaganda was spread, among other means, by in-person rallies or other such assemblies, precisely because “real world” gatherings have the kind of real time fact checking you discuss.
