Doesn't the fact that this is another step towards autonomous killing machines complicate your view of this?

A lot of Silicon Valley's justification for its immoral actions rests on the _belief_ of the inevitability of outcomes. It's ok to monopolize and centralize everything, discarding the lives of people who are negatively impacted because it's inevitable. It's ok to make robots able to kill people better because it's inevitable, etc.

The thing is, it's a _belief_ that this is inevitable — not a proven fact of nature. And people who don't believe in it will logically withdraw their cooperation from building that future.

Both sides are 'proving' their point of view. If enough people object, then it wasn't inevitable after all. If enough people work to bring us into that future, maybe it was. But thats the struggle and moral choice we face.

>But it would also be a shame if it was changed because of a shooting.

Well I put this 100% on the greed of Alphabet/Google. Building up a huge base of creators on your platform over the course of a decade, only to bow to advertiser pressure over a slim minority of your videos and demonetize algorithmically is terrible, straight up inhumane really. Youtube represents some of these creators livelihoods, and they don't seem to recognize that; I really think that the salary levels in the Valley insulate people here from how much more money is worth literally everywhere else. Honestly I've been waiting for something like this to happen, it only seemed like a matter of time to me and unless distribution platforms are much more careful about how they demonetize going forward, I don't think it will be the last. They should be promoting a campaign to shame their advertisers for acting so rashly and putting this front and center. "See what happens when you force a major overhaul of advertisements? People lose their livelihoods and lives. People think less of you on Youtube because we can't control our creators calling you out for demonetizing, it's bad PR and we're gonna make it worse because these actions resulted in this tradgedy."
Yes, good points all around. I hear similar criticisms of augmented and virtual reality as being just "toys." IMHO being a "toy" that people actually want to play with is not a bad thing at all, it's an important part of the r&d and adoption lifecycle!

Let me respectfully suggest that part of the problem may be your gender. Men and women both expect women to do emotional labor on behalf of others, often to an unreasonable degree.

If that is a factor, there's no easy solution. But if it is a factor, it may help to be aware of the issue. If you aren't familiar, emotional labor is kind of a hot catch phrase and there are articles and discussions out there.

I tend to be good at the emotional labor thing and it has a history of getting me imposed upon to an unreasonable degree. People often expect me to deeply respect them and kiss their boo-boos and make them feel okay about everything. This often occurs while I am being treated very disrespectfully and can't get my needs met.

If you are the CTO, why is peacemaking your job? That isn't usually one of the official duties of a CTO, is it?

If that is the issue, you will need to learn to alter your behavior so people feel less free to impose in this manner. You will also need to think through just how much you need to be interceding in the relationships of employees.

You can work on doing ice breaker exercises and team building exercises etc. But if the real problem is that you are being viewed as the team mom and people want you to fix everything and expect perfection, that may not fully resolve the issue.
I think they're proposing more that these accounts are authentic, not necessarily reliable. It's common sense that eyewitness testimony isn't 100% reliable.

It would be nice if CRDB could have a mode when 1-3 nodes are active that is similar to since master performance with automatic replication. Then if horizontal scale-out is needed a performance hit could be taken.

I like the automatic replication of CRDB but the vast majority of apps can't afford to take a big performance hit and don't need large horizontal scale-out.
Id argue it's not a false dichotomy because drone strikes will go on regardless of what Google does. It's very clear that whatever collateral damage drones currently cause is an acceptable cost to the militaries using them.

The fact remains regardless of historical anecdotes or advances made in the past that in today’s economic landscape one of the few steadily profitable and maintainable businesses is doing work for the Department of Defense. Regardless of who is president this is an organization that regularly gets well over 200+ billion in funding and much of what they do has little oversight. If you are a business large or small and can land a long term DOD contract I’ve seen businesses that needed capital but couldn’t raise it pivot to a well funded DOD project and then able to reap those profits into their other businesses successful.

It’s a sad state really but this is probably the main idea behind partnering with them in the first place

I completely agree with this. Trying to compare WWII to the actions of the modern military is absurd.

How can you possibly compare it with overthrowing governments in South America and the Middle East, Vietnam, Guantanamo, Abu Gharib, drone strikes on hospitals, up to 200k civilians dead in Iraq, and much more - and of coursr the deeply, deeply questionable motives of all of these.

The actions of our ancestors in WWII were borne out of necessity - those of the modern military are driven by money, greed, propaganda and political point-scoring.

3D API support is a radio button on most engines.

Most game companies don't care about Linux, because the added development costs on testing and community support don't translate in any meaningful revenue.
For a company that makes a large volume of a very narrow range of products they have a pretty good track record when it comes to physical hardware, and so far their chip work hasn't hit any major snags.

I've very rarely had an issue with Windows that wasn't fixed by replacing faulty/failing hardware. While not a hard rule, your issues sound exactly like that's the root cause. Time for a new motherboard or PSU. Most people just never realize it is failing, blame the OS. Everyone who has done deep stints into desktop Linux knows that's definitely not the case over there and Windows does a fantastic job at covering up hardware errors as much as it can, more than people realize.

Starting from my Commodore128 till today, other than that original Commodore, I haven't seen anything else as well-built as Windows. macOS & desktop Linux distros included. I hate to elevate one above the other but my honest opinion starting on desktops in 1986 that Windows is the most rock solid desktop OS out there today. Microsoft has to ensure it's the most battle tested by necessity, given that even back in 2011 it ran 1+ billion[0] devices. There's nothing else even in the same league for desktop operating systems when it comes to exposure, testing & fixes in the QA feedback loop. Even the big player, Ubuntu, doesn't come close.

Sorry, but those are just two entirely different planes with very different requirement sets. One is a wide body the other is a narrow body, for starters. A350 vs 787 is a slightly better, if still not perfect, comparison
I know plenty of non-wealthy, middle and working class people (born to middle and working class parents) who own houses. They aren't wealthy because they still have a mortgage for most of the value of the house. They may be wealthy in 30 years when their mortgage is paid off, but they aren't now.

Wealthy citizens of the U.S. and Canada all had to pay income taxes on the money they used to buy the assets they own. People who are wealthy enough to get by entirely on income generating assets were probably at one time in the top income tax bracket, which means they forked over about 50% of their income to the government. Which, btw, is a much higher percentage rate than people in the lower tax brackets.

So, do wealthy people have it easier than non-wealthy people? Yes. But they had to earn an unbelievable amount of money (since they had to pay half of it in taxes) to get to that point. So maybe it's not actually that unfair. And, since high earners pay a higher tax rate, maybe it's actually kinda fair.
It's perfectly possible to remember every technological invention the military has ever been involved in and still object to participation in military research.

Possible reasons, using Wernher von Braun's rocket development as an example:

- He, or somebody else, would have invented rockets anyway at some point

- That 'some point' would have been much earlier if the money spent on military (research & some of the rest) would instead have been put into rockets in the first place

- even if the two mechanisms abovc were not true: I'd probably be willing to forgo the benefits of the space age if it meant undoing WW2 and the Holocaust

- In most ethical frameworks except utilitarianism, it's strongly discourage to accept some evil for some perceived greater good. Meaning: Even if rockets have saved far more lives than WW2 vanquished, participating in the project is morally dubious at best

Specifically to Google's project:

- This seems to actually invert the usual idea of the military funding basic research that later gets adapted for civilian use. They are building on the fundamental research into AI already done by Google and others, and using it very specifically to kill people. Any advances useful for other purposes would seem to be even more coincidental than usual.

- While "minimising collateral damage" i. e. civilian casualties may seem to be a worthy cause, it cannot be ignored that such advances are likely to result in greater use of the technology. Drones are actually the best example of this effect. Just look at the Obama administration's willingness to expand the use of drone strikes, which was a direct result of the technology appearing to be the lesser evil compared to manned missions on the ground.
The X series has always been ahead of the curve, but priced astronomically expensive, usually well above the equivalent Xeon part.

The i7 was introduced as a 4-core part and only now have they started to shift that to 6-core by default.

Clean Code - Robert C. Martin: I got this book in college for a class and enjoy referring to it when I feel that my code quality is starting to decay.

Computer Principles of Modeling and Simulation - T.G. Lewis/B.J. Smith: I received this book as a gift from one of my favorite professors in college. It was published in 1979, but I find the material still relevant when it comes to introductory concepts of computer simulation.

Big Java Late Objects - Cay Horstmann: Another text from my time at college, specifically from my data structures course. I keep it because I like the way it explains fundamental data structures with well-written Java.

Head First Design Patterns - Eric Freeman/Elizabeth Robson: Another college textbook, and one of my least favorite reads of all time, but I'll be damned if it doesn't explain design patterns well enough for me to keep it around. I refer to it now and then but only when I feel like punishing myself.

Learning PHP, MySQL, JavaScript, & CSS - Robin Nixon: A dangerously outdated introductory web development text that I bought when I was in high school. It was the first programming book I ever purchased and I keep it around because I enjoy remembering what it felt like to explore web development for the first time. I've not referred to it in years, for obvious reasons, but it explained full-stack web development very well and gave me a foundation that I've been able to build on to this day. I remember standing in the tiny Computer Science section at Barnes & Noble where I found it, taking it home and cracking it open, and working through it until I had to make myself go to sleep. It's the first programming book that really hooked me.
I know at least one Googler who really will quit if Google continues to contribute to drone warfare research.

Yes, they like the high paychecks, five-star meals and massages, but the market for ML and AI experts is very strong right now. The high paycheck can be matched elsewhere, and the benefits of not contributing to drone warfare research are worth spending a bit of that money on food and massages.

But as I said, I only know of one for sure. Whether or not there are enough to sway Google is yet to be seen.

Every project has to pick what problems matter, and can be addressed with the current resources at hand. People, time, servers, whatever.

At this time, there's just not enough people that care at this degree of paranoia; all of the Linux distros are fine with this, even Tor is fine with this. I can appreciate that something like this would be more convenient, but that's a teeny, tiny group of people this would serve, and it would be so, so, so much effort to put in. It just doesn't make sense. (Given that you're anonymous, I don't know who exactly you're asking for here.)

edit: Other have pointed out that there ARE legit uses of zero-length chars, especially for other languages. Still, I bet a solution does not have to be all or none.. I bet common legitimate use-cases can be segregated from others.

High availability with automatic failover is a pretty common reason. To do this with a "boring major RDBMS" removes the boring part and requires leaving the beaten path of the core RDBMS product anyways (or paying lots of money). If multi-master w/ automatic scaling and failover were a first class feature of these boring major RDBMSs, you could have the best of all worlds.

That’s where I come down on this too. Google isn’t defaming anyone. And, what about Bing, duck duck go, or any other search engine?

The guy in the article could have put up his own website to correct the record. I don’t really like that solution. I really think there should be a way to get a judgement in the US to DDOS the defamatory site. If the hosting company won’t comply.

But, breaking search is a cover-up not a solution. I recently left a company with a cover-up culture. You’ve never seen such terrible code. Because, no one ever weeded out the real problem. They were just ok to bury their heads in the sand as long as google didn’t let them know there were problems.

> they can run it so long as they have the right JVM installed

This is the key. The right JVM, the right classpaths, the right configuration, the right permissions, the right native libraries.

The setup process for every Java app we've used (thankfully just ActiveMQ and Kafka lately) have been incredibly complicated. JAR files in paths, long, convoluted shell scripts to set up all possible variables for every possible JVM, wrappers that wrap launchers, etc.

And then all of those steps are prone to breakage and are difficult to debug.

Shipping a Docker container lets you say "Here is a working environment that needs no configuration and won't suddenly fail until reconfigured when another app you have needs Java 9 and not Java 8".

Maybe third time will be the charm. Most respondents here (including me) would like GDPR applied to all companies as it protects end users.

However, US companies with no legal/corporate presence in the EU are ONLY bound by US law.

Take the case of EFF vs Australian patent troll [1]. Though EFF was sued in Australian court under Australian law, it didn't matter because EFF was an American company.

This holds true, otherwise China could sue US media under Chinese law on the pretext of said media being available within China via the Internet.

Similarly, for the EU to go after non EU corporate/legal entities, it'll need to implement a GDPR firewall, much like China's great firewall. It simply cannot push the onus of GDPR compliance on non EU entities with laws that it can't apply on them
