My friend had a bunch of juvenile crap posted on "The Dirty" by ex-boyfriends which subsequently became the #1 hit on Google for her unique name. Employers/Employees would ask her about it and she always felt embarassed about it being up there. Subsequently, she disliked anyone who Google'd people. Her father paid a 3rd party company $5000 who managed to remove the link from the first page. So far it appears to have worked (1 year has passed).
I have much better links. Here's one from 2012: Facebook scans chats and posts for criminal activity https://www.cnet.com/news/facebook-scans-chats-and-posts-for...

The program probably started a year earlier than that, since in 2011, Facebook announced they were using a tool called PhotoDNA to scan every image shared for underage content. https://www.facebook.com/notes/facebook-safety/meet-the-safe...

Regarding how Facebook crawls links shared in Messenger, there's this medium story I saw on HN a while back https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11875419

In that medium story, the Facebook devs claim accessing privately shared messenger links is a publicly documented behavior, citing the Facebook Crawler Docs. They quote: "The first time someone shares a link, the Facebook crawler will scrape the HTML at that URL to gather, cache and display info about the content on Facebook like a title, description, and thumbnail image." https://developers.facebook.com/docs/sharing/webmasters/craw...

The banter at the start reminded me of the start of Aliens. As transcript quotes, I assume it means James Cameron based it on reality.

As the Google/Youtube/Alphabet crew make plans to become murderers, in their catered, air conditioned offices, to the endless justifications in this thread, I have a big smile on my face as I think of the woman who went in yesterday and shot at these murdering scum. Google/Youtube/Alphabet workers are about to become murderers, and they just got some big blowback yesterday, paying them back in their own coin. Thinking of it puts a big smile on my face.

True, I did mention thermal effects, but it’s also something you can do in a place like Cali, Nevada, Riyadh, etc Without wasting precious water. Other options include giving up on the idea of these systems and going for giant Vanadium flow batteries or something similar.
The BOM[0] specifies that this is a "3mw 780nm Infrared IR Diode Laser" with a link to eBay[1].

I'm finding 780nm 2.5mw and 3mw laser diodes rated at classes 3B and 3R. See [2] and [3]. The 3B class rating is given for a high end Edmund Optics laser which most probably gives out the "full" 3mW. A 3B class laser is "hazardous for eye exposure" [4].

So... hard to say, but not great?

I fondly remember a sticker that was on a lab's (very scary) laser: "Do not look into laser with remaining eye"...

I'm working my way through Being No One at the moment. It's very interesting, and (to me, anyway) sounds like he's on the right track with his 'transparent self-model' understanding of consciousness.

Interestingly a lot of robotics seems to work the same way - the robot has a model of itself and the world around it, and when it "looks at the world" it's actually looking at that model.
The fact that people have to be taught other ways goes against saying it's human nature, doesn't it? Why would you teach someone to do things they already do?

And then you bring up every method of manipulation as if people don't hate all of those things. Why would we need to invent clever tricks to manipulate people if it was human nature to like it?

Sure, we're plenty effective both at hurting others and manipulating people, but it seems odd to express examples of our capability at doing that to unwilling people as evidence that we like those things being done to us...

Why would we have to go to such lengths to develop these capabilities if it was something we naturally liked? You're kind of proving the opposite of the point you think you are here....

I am more conflicted about at least one person I knew committed suicide because IT automation provided by Google eliminated his job. Or in general IT/industrial automation wreaking havoc on my highly populated but poor nation. Now is it just the price of progress as people here would say or should Google employees be held morally responsible for causing destruction of livelihood for many a people.
That sounds like a post-rationalization to not feel bad about exploiting poor/addicted people.
I work for a major auditing firm. The customers we audit the majority of have quite good security. When we start to ask about the subcontractors, things get bad quickly.

Many companies protect the easy stuff, and then outsource a lot of the work to subcontractors. They then send them a self-assessment survey about their “security”. It’s all bullshit.

Case in point, we actually drove out to one of these subcontractors for a major data center provider. We got stuck in traffic, but figured what the hell and still pushed on, arriving at 6:00 pm. We walked in...literally. They had left for the night and forgotten to lock the door, computers, servers, drives, routers you name it everywhere. Their 3-year contract was voided later that evening.

> Who designed the gas chambers at Auschwitz? An engineer did that, too.

Well, given how unimaginative a leap the national socialists took from the national fumigation program to the gas chambers, I doubt there was much more to it than "take bug poison room tech, use it on humans".

There's no such thing as an "engineer" in the real world, and there's almost always somebody more unscrupulous, devout, or patriotic than you who knows or is willing to learn what it takes to finish the job, and school is not going to get in the way.

Added: Engineering is a practice, not an immutable identity. Even if you publicly shame all the "engineers" away from contributing to an effort you disagree with, replacing them is a matter of learning enough of the practice to complete the task. Even if we were just talking about what is in paper books today, it's hard to say that anyone could have control over who is or isn't capable of engineering efforts.
Going to struggle on the engine front as the major manufacturers have shifted to high-bypass turbofans rather than turbo jets in the civilian world.

Congress does regulate those weapons.

There's a reason you can't just walk into a Wal-Mart and walk out with a machine gun, or a rocket launcher.

That said, I don't much care for the fact that the requirement to have legal access to machine guns is "be rich enough to buy your way around the law".

Personally, I do think we need a complete re-work of the way we treat weapons to reflect the realities of the modern world.

(1) We have four hundred million weapons in the United States. It is horribly negligent that safe weapon handling is not taught in schools, at multiple levels. Also a good touchpoint to get police interacting positively with the community.

(2) The current background check system should be replaced with a Swiss-style one; e.g., you get a code, valid for say a week or two, that any seller can use to verify that you have passed a background check.

This doesn't create a de-facto registry, so no problem getting gun owners (or the NRA) to go for this one.

(4) A red-flag law that allows immediate family members and healthcare professionals to temporarily bar an individual from purchasing weapons, with safeguards in-place to keep bad actors from abusing the system (e.g., a psychiatrist that just reports all of his patients to the system because he opposes gun ownership).

(5) Removing gun rights only in the case of violent crime. Right now, in most states, misdemeanor assault won't cost you your gun rights, but a felony for tax evasion will. That's ass-backwards.

(6) Machine guns, grenades, rocket launchers, and the like should be available with a license. You really need to be able to show that you can handle these things safely. Right now, it's just "be rich".

(7) Treat short-barreled rifles and shotguns as normal firearms, and silencers like any other accessory.

(8) Concealed-carry should be the same for police as it is for normal citizens. Same licensing requirements: a one-day course, including a test on safe weapon handling. This also ends gun-free zones: if you have a license, you can carry wherever you want.

(9) Open carry needs to work differently for urban and rural areas. The above permit will allow you to open-carry a pistol in an urban area. Rifles, no. Put it in a case. In the countryside, open carry just makes sense.

(10) Actually prosecute straw sellers. Buy a gun for somebody that can't legally buy one on their own, you permanently lose your gun rights, plus whatever punishment makes sense.

(11) Secure storage requirements. If one of your weapons is stolen and used for a crime, you are legally an accessory if you can not demonstrate that you took reasonable measures to store the weapon securely (e.g., a gun safe or lockable case). This doesn't require police inspections, but provides a strong incentive for personal responsibility.

All of this would enjoy massive support from gun owners, and address a lot of existing problems.

That seemed like irresponsible speculation on Vanity Fair's part to me.

The root cause was a captain who mistakenly reacted off of 12 hour old data and ignored another source of data that contradicted it. Pretty surprising given the lengths the article goes through to impress upon the reader how "safety conscious" he was.

The headline doesn't at all agree with the what the article and its sources say, which is basically a whole lot of nothing.
> However, I don't see why that should matter in the least. Who I know in the ad-tech industry is not pertinent to my argument.

Of course it should. You denied any users X exist, (Ad-Tech who think about the users.)
I was hoping to demonstrate that your sample size of X that you know well enough to judge them so, is too small to be meaningful. I say that because I know many people in Ad-Tech, and almost all of them care very much about users. Since our conclusions are different, I can conclude our samples are different populations, or you're speaking in hyperbole.

You said:

> The only people thinking about the users and the products are the creative teams that make the ads themselves. ... is inherently unconscionable.

If you know people in Ad-Tech, and you tell them, "You don't care about users, and your business is inherently unconscionable" I'd like to hear what responses you get. Genuinely. Would they agree with you? Or, more likely would they say something like, "At my place, even when I think about the user, it doesn't matter much," which seems much more likely the kind of human response you'd get.

> It's even more curious

You opened with bald-faced hyperbole. I'm trying to get you to admit that your most outrageous claims are based on nothing but lies. Once I do that, maybe I'll dive into the rest of what you said.

My concession to you is that there are awful ways to do ads - exploitative, manipulative, bad for the user. And there are ways to do ads that are not those things. You claim there's no difference - it's all homogeneously bad. That's hyperbole or delusion.

Moreover, none of it is particularly helpful. It's just spite. You don't have any actionable proposals for making the world a better place. You're just making "dead lawyer" jokes.

And I did respond directly, reminding you that ads used to be far worse. You haven't responded to that at all.

> In a Philadelphia-based study

I finally had the time to read the study and it's got plenty of problems. Painting it as more legitimate than the dozens of studies showing hundreds of thousands of defensive firearm usages is inane.

For example the differences between the case and control groups:

"compared with control participants, shooting case participants were":

- "more frequently working in high-risk occupations"

- "had a greater frequency of prior arrest."

- "significantly more often involved with alcohol and drugs"

- "more likely to be located in areas with less income and more illicit drug trafficking"

There's a bit of work, especially on the PCB side (there are 3 separate ones). You would have to order PCBs based on the Gerber files, and all of the components, and have a way of soldering them (they are "surface mount", which adds to the complexity).

Overall, it would be much easier if the "final" PCBs were sold as a kit. Assembling this kit would be much easier (and fun) then starting from scratch.

Bingo Card Creator's MailChimp account got shut down once for gambling content. I sent in a request to support with an explanation that there was no gambling involved; the matter was resolved within a business day.

Running an email service provider is a rough business:

a) Emails hitting inboxes are basically indistinguishable from cash at scale, and therefore you have all the fraud problems of a payments business but without a lot of the built-in fraud resolution systems

b) There exists an oligopoly of inbox providers who have a Nuke Your Business From Orbit button available to them, and that button can and will be pushed by a cron job if you do not keep your customers squeaky clean

c) The customer population is frequently low-sophistication, like the owners of flower shops or virtually anyone in the cryptocurrency economy (my apologies to professional journalists like, err, Two Bit Idiot)

d) Per-account values are, at the low end, really, really low by the standards of B2B SaaS, and as a result your customer service has to get operated in a very scalable fashion, and that implies some tradeoffs where not everybody is going to be happy with it 100% of the time.

> SV as a whole is substantially a creation of military spending.

This is a national budget problem. If you're in the tech world long enough, it becomes pretty clear that the only way to get Big funding is through military affiliation.

This puts a huge selective bias on what kind of technology projects actually get big funding, and further it prevents the benefits of those projects from reaching the community for years, because the military overlords demand secrecy sole use of the technology until it gets superceded.

We need to cut a huge chunk out of the military budget and give it directly to the tech sector, so that big innovative projects are actually possible without having to be military.
