I sense a lot of misplaced patriotism here, with many comments reeking of almost outrage: "how dare the EU tell us what to do on our soil! We are Americans damnit, this makes us better than other people and allows us to selectively ignore other laws!"

Well, the USA has been doing this to other countries for decades. Your failure to self regulate the protection of the huge volumes of personal data you like to collect plus your governments love to hoover this up has led to this. Deal with it, and be glad that at least someone is legislating this crazy situation we find ourselves in.

Yep, if programmers can't be bothered to read a few lines of manpage before using a new function as distinctly special as signal()/sigaction(), then I think there is no help in sight.

But on the other hand, the signals API might be a problem. Signals aren't exactly praised as a marvel of engineering. There probably is a need for something as low-level as that in some cases. But in the common case an API that just asynchronously sets a volatile flag when a signal is received, should be sufficient. Calls to "slow" devices are interrupted and return EINTR anyway.

Panera accused security researcher of “scam” when he reported a major flaw
Wow, so your comment was even more useless. Or was it a joke that I didn't get? The challenge was "prove me wrong" (with the opinion that I just uttered), not "disprove that this is my opinion".
How would you differentiate a function that takes an argument of some kind and handles signals from one that just takes an argument of that kind (e.g. for debugging, logging, or some other sort of introspection)?

Edit: to be clear -- I'm not asking this just to be snarky :-). Inferring functional information from nothing but semantic information with no functional implication is a very complicated problem that has very error-prone solutions. In C's case, in fact, I think C99 defines signal handlers as taking a single argument, an int. A compiler that doesn't let me call free from a function that takes a single integer argument wouldn't be too useful.

IRL, there are analysis tools that can help catch (a subset of) this sort of problem, but they are environment-specific and don't rely on just the function definition. They either look at the signal handler installation calls (but then they're restricted to information that's known at compile time!), or require some sort of annotation (e.g. via special comments a la Doxygen, or via macros etc.).

And even then, the sort of problems that they catch are specific to each environment. The restriction isn't that you shouldn't call <these functions> under POSIX, the restriction is that you shouldn't call functions that are not async-signal-safe (i.e. they're not re-entrant or they're not atomic with respect to signals). There are a few POSIX functions that are safe to call from signals (see man 7 signal-safety on a Linux box), but that list obviously doesn't cover user-defined functions -- some of which may be OK to call, others not so much.

You can probably determine if a function is async-call-safe with some static analysis but at this point, it's the sort of stuff that really doesn't belong in a compiler anymore...
What about those of use who prefer not to be tracked by every piece of technology they own. I don't want Samsung to know I have an S4 and Note 7, but I would like to know if there are any recalls for those devices.

It would be nice if one could run some service _locally_ that would parse some standards-compliant recall notice format from some standards-compliant location (like robots.txt, how about recalls.txt). I know, not going to happen.

To begin with, it shouldn’t be hard to see that this article is written by Apple PR and then handed over to journalists. This guy was never Google’s AI chief, that person - if there is one - is Jeff Dean. It’s strange to see Apple parading around a suit who basically managed hodge podge of projects at Google and calling him Google’s AI chief. Go ask around anyone who has anything to do with AI and drop his name and you will get blank stares.

Yes, this isn't even the first time changes to Youtube's algorithm or policies have affected the livelihoods of people on the site, or destroyed the viability of entire genres of content (see rubberross' video on animation for instance[0].) But Youtube is in business for Google, as are the users, whether they're aware of it or not. They exist to generate content that drives ad revenue for Google, and they're not owed a livelihood in exchange for that.

And the answer is to either change the content you provide to whatever the algorithm sorts for, which many have, or else find another job.

A few months or a year ago Youtube was accused of 'sponsoring' alt-right vloggers who played a role in domestic US politics. These people uploaded videos to Youtube and got paid based on the views. Just like everyone really. But mainstream media kept blaming Youtube for enabling these videos. Even though they practically enable everyone as a neutral platform.

So advertisers started to pull out of Youtube in general over this and Youtube went all out and reformed the entire global website to a 'better safe than sorry' policy. Removing anything even resembling 'undesirable content'.

This caused a lot of what Americans would call 'collateral damage'.

When I found out my ZMUD client offered some basic scripting and trigger capabilities, I set out to create my first leveling bot. It was blood sweat and tears, lots of learning through trial and error, and the bot would still do dumb things and crash half the time, but the spark had been ignited.

The trend I see lately is something I think of as dropoff panic. By staring at metrics too much PMs get worried about dropoff and start to focus their efforts on lubricating onboarding to such an extent in the hopes of preventing dropoff.

This results in the sort of dark patterns you see on Pintrest's signup and the overall dumbing down of everything into samey "friendly" interfaces that all feel like Facebook.

You manage to capture more of the casual users for the sort term by doing this, although they'll likely dropoff eventually. But this is done at the expense of your hardcore users who fell in love with your app/site/game despite the learning curve or dense interface.

Too much effort is placed on trying to capture a very low quality of user that likely wont engage anyway.

For sure. Its like if your boss used an algorithm to decide your pay, and he wouldn’t disclose this algorithm to you. Some months “the algorithm” declares all your work bad and the boss pays you nothing. Meanwhile, you can see other employees’ much worse work getting paid regularly, essentially because they’re more popular and the boss likes them more. Anyone would feel unfairly treated under those circumstances, and would harbour a great deal of resentment.

Most people would leave such a “job” or try to game the algorithm, but killing the boss does also look like an obvious (if wrong and probably unproductive) option!

Resources for web designers – March 2018
Given the public desire to make AI largely open source - which Apple could easily bankroll and gain goodwill while doing it - I'd say the odds of catching up are fairly good. Not necessarily over 50%, but probably better than it would look from counting patents.
One of the reasonable conclusions to all this is that revenue sharing on user generated content is a live wire that platforms would rather not touch from now on, despite it being morally correct.
Lisp suffers a bit from being too early to the party. When someone wants to learn a new programming language (one that's not literally a new one), there is usually a single obvious canonical implementation (most likely already available on all Unix-like machines) hosted on [language].org, with a set of documents that describe it.

Lisp is (and many other pioneering languages are) no such beast. Lisp.org is McCarty's page (peace be upon Him) and my Linux laptop has about half a dozen dialects of Lisp: Emacs Lisp one or two CL's, Guile, Clojure and Scheme. I love it, but it wasn't easy to start.
It's perhaps akin to how when a person goes into therapy, the first step, if practical, is to deal with any substance dependency issues. At least where I live, it's a prerequisite for further therapy (barring acute needs, perhaps).

I wouldn't be surprised if this is Peterson's thinking too, although I also wouldn't be surprised if Peterson doesn't know what the 'next step' might be (or is hesitant to recommend it).

At least based on my experience, both a good thing and a failing about modern therapy (and if I understand correctly Peterson is primarily a psychologist/therapist) is that it explicitly does not get too much into the stuff beyond a 'direct', pragmatic kind of mental health. For the rest you're encouraged to look elsewhere or cobble something together yourself.

(this in contrast to, say, priests/pastors/etc.)

> If there is a legit distinction between speech and conversations, you didn't make it or I missed it.

Ok, lets try again:

Money: something generally accepted as a medium of exchange, a measure of value, or a means of payment.

Speech: the communication or expression of thoughts in spoken words

Is that clear?

Listen, I love these conversations but you already convinced me that you're not in good faith, which makes this a waste of time. Stay cool.
No, as the author of my post, I can assure you that my post was quite clearly about the fact that this style of defense is not intrinsically in bad faith, evil, or in any sense responsible for the bad behavior of the corporations in question. I double-checked with myself twice to be sure.

Blaming this defense is like blaming the fact that some companies are bad actors on the fact that they are using syllogisms. It's not the syllogisms. It's very weak thinking to think it could be. The problem is not the "four dog" defense, it's the bad actions themselves.
Apple has actually really really fallen behind. Their speech reco is shit. Their maps are super shit. Siri search is so bad and gets in way all the time that I turn it off right away on my iOS devices. Their photo management and image search is literally circa 2000. The spell check and completion is circa 2007 (ie no significant improvement since first enabled). They can’t get right even about when to auto-turn caps. Large number of badly spelled and misunderstood messages in the world can now be attributed to utter incompetence of Apple in AI arena.

To me it wasn’t a surprise that Apple finally got out of self driving car project. They simply don’t have cultural aspects to undertake such a massive AI heavy project including hiring and motivating the necessary talent. This is prime example of how money can’t help if you don’t have right culture. They focused on design so much that ML and AI were relavent only to the extent it helped design. Thing is that such pragmatic view doesn’t work in highly exploratory and rapidly advancing field where 90% of the things have no apparent business use but you do need those in the hope of cross-pollination with other 10%.

Apple is not an AI company and is not setup to be an AI company. There will be massive cultural shift that would be needed to turn this around.

I'm struggling to understand the difference between a mentally unwell person and a mentally unwell corporation or government.

I don't think YouTube is mentally unwell, but there have certainly been examples in the past of corporations acting in ways that resulted in the deaths of individuals - either through negligence (justified economically) or through rare but not nonexistent direct corporate violence.

Contemporary examples of murderous governments are trivially easy to find.

Why do we consider murderous individuals mentally ill, but not murderous groups of individuals once they're beyond a certain level of political and/or economic influence?

I suppose the ambiguity keeps the politicians wondering.

At the very least, the American Revolution serves as a precedent: Armed retaliation is justified when the government is a far-off power imposing taxation without representation.

Well, Washington D.C. is hundreds or thousands of miles away from where most people live; Congress has sustained extremely low approval ratings, indicating a disconnect with their constituents; like a king, the President can increasingly write law unilaterally through executive orders; the interpretations of the Justices are progressively detached from logic, leaving many perplexed as to what "rule of law" even means; and, the Federal Reserve extracts purchasing power from every holder of dollars by "printing" more dollars, essentially taxing people without really consulting them or even engaging in public debate on the matter.

So... hmmm...
