I agree that deceptive marketing should be punished.

With that out of the way, I am genuinely curious:

Has you or anyone you know ever believed that Tesla's have autopilot?

Anyone I have ever spoken to basically thinks that Teslas have a feature to keep you in the lane -- an advanced cruise control -- and that you must have your hands near the wheel.

Please note that even if nobody thought Teslas have autopilot, I still think deceptive marketing should be punished. I'm simply trying to gather some perspective from others, if this is actually a thought that is out there in the wild.

If the POTUS had not conducted the country's business on his personal account I might be able to agree with your point. But your point is not in agreement with the ruling. The court investigates what he's doing with the account, not whose name is on it.
This got me thinking about stasis pods (as opposed to the hibernation pods in the article). When I think of stasis pods I always think of space travel. But ... now I wonder how many people on Earth would use them? I can see plenty of people in the valley being rich enough and crazy enough to stasis themselves so they can see the future and reap its benefits.

But maybe it's not crazy. If given the choice; would you choose to live now, or in the future? There aren't many people I know who aren't cynical about the present. The more I think about it, the more I wonder just how _many_ people might do it.

But then, when would you stop? Would you wake up in 100 years, experience the new, brighter future, only to become cynical again and jump to the next era?

What would our world be like if we were carrying around half our population in stasis pods? all of them hopping from one era to the next, never satisfied.

YouTube for a few people is fairly low bandwidth data, so they can probably just send several copies of the same stream preferably after re encoding it. Unless the packet loss is extreme it's not going to be an issue.

For Reddit, I would assume they would start downloading before you click on something. It eat's bandwidth, but again bandwidth is a non issue it's really just latency.
And that's the companies' out. Make shell companies that exist only in Europe to exfiltrate liability for the multinationals.

There's no real difference in "Facebook US" and "Facebook Ireland". The only difference is this methodology skirts the law.

Hopefully, the EU will climb up these jokes of shell companies and rightly smack them down.
Funny. I think of Comcast as an ISP. I know they provide cable TV, and do everything they can to upsell/bundle it with their Internet access, but to me they're just an ISP.

I just checked, and it seems revenue-wise they're still more TV than Internet, but the trend is towards Internet revenue, and in subscriber-count, it flipped in 2015. I'm guessing, though, that the ISP revenue won't grow a ton, whereas the TV revenue will continue to drop.
I'm curious, in what sense do you mean "Credit reporting agencies" in the USA sense aren't really a thing in EU"?

I've lived in both the UK and USA and used credit products in each, and your access to such credit appears to me almost entirely determined by a handful of credit reporting agencies "scores" in both countries in a pretty similar way. Heck it's even often the same company - Equifax (one of the largest) operate in the UK as well.

Statistics: Weaponized pattern recognition.

Gothic High Tech: Consciously weaponized bullshit.

Gollumization: The impoverishment of a system through ephmeralization and weaponized attention.

Bullshit:
1. Data (often a firehose) produced by someone who is indifferent to the truth or falsity of what is being said.
2. Data that appears to contain more information than it actually does.
3. Noise randomly tagged with truth-values to give it apparent legibility.
4. Non-requisite variety.

Legibility: the apparent absence of noise in data.

Data: Any collection of information, bullshit and noise.

Information:
Data that has been judged to be true or false through comparison with observed reality at a given point in time.
Not the same? Shoot a propane tank, it leaks. No oxygen in the tank.

There is very little outside compressed gas that can explode disastrously without oxygen. A tank of compressed gas is probably high up on the 'bomb in the house' category. Just under the water heater I suppose.
Maybe where you are, but not where I am from. Here, you are considered a religious extremist if you do not support abortion (and I think that this is the reasonable stance, but that is not relevant right now). I'm thus not very concerned with what secondary agenda you associate this argument, and I will definitely not be careful of having an uncertain stance just because this is the case.
Exactly, locking someone away might be unjust to this person, but can be necessary for the greater good of protecting the society. The conclusion should be to lock such persons away in a reasonably humane way¹ (and not to sentence him/her to death).

> Let's be honest here, none of us can "proof" the existence or non existence of a creator.

Indeed, let's be honest, we cannot prove anything.

> but we have been endowed with intelligence and humility to hopefully come to the right conclusion.

So then, the right conclusion would simply be that we don't know, right?
You are free to have some preference, i.e, you prefer that a creators exists, and that's fine, but as you said earlier, let's be honest we cannot prove it.

So with the humility that was endowed to us, let's just acknowledge what we don't know.
And that's why people are trying to understand :)

I suspect that Uber was optimizing for the common case, which is normal traffic conditions, and didn't want their emergency braking accidentally firing during normal driving causing rear endings.

So the question becomes why couldn't they get emergency braking solved before driving on the road? Maybe that requires collecting good data first, for training the system?

That quote is the crux of it when you pair it with this other section: "In addition, the operator is responsible for monitoring diagnostic messages that appear on an interface in the center stack of the vehicle dash and tagging events of interest for subsequent review."

So you have a "driver" who has to be monitoring a diagnostic console, AND has to be separately watching for non-alerted emergency events to avoid a fatal crash? Why not hire two people? Good god.

It's a pet issue of mine. I feel very strongly that a "resource" is something like a backhoe, a stack of lumber, a pallet of widgets, a computer, a building, etc. A person is... well... a person, damnit.

Calling people "resources" and treating them as fungible, disposable, commodities is extremely dehumanizing and is emblematic of the typical corporate newspeak bullshit that some people use as a dodge to avoid facing the fact that their actions affect actual people.

Physics is physics matter how you cut it.

A compressed air tank is arguably less of a bomb than the battery under your feet in a Tesla and the cleanup is much better.

Compressed air tank failures do not result in instant fire. Most failures take the form of leaks. Catastrophic failures of properly designed pressure vessels operating at their intended pressure are basically nonexistent because a damaged pressure vessel will usually fail by leaking at the point of damage.
I've been mulling a form of charity where instead of closing down a once famous website, you give it to some talented developers in a poorer country to maintain it remotely. There are good developers in third world countries who get paid a pittance for basically busy work. They would certainly appreciate the challenge and money around a service like StumbleUpon. What do you think of this idea and is there anyone doing something like this?
I think if more peopled used TOR, and also ran public exit nodes and/or relays, it will work better than private VPN companies.
Apple accounts for a similar fraction of smartphones, but is far more influential than any other maker. Tesla occupies a similar role in terms of EV mindshare. At least in the US, carmakers are developing EVs out of fear that Tesla will succeed and suck out all the profits.
I'm not sure "cord cutting" will help Netflix as much as some may thing. Netflix is already a very popular service, and one that many subscribe to alongside their traditional cable TV service. The new batch of streaming "live TV" providers are the ones looking at massive growth. I do think Netflix will benefit indirectly as people break their "addiction" to traditional TV - but it's not a replacement for live TV (yet)

Does Netflix have a "live tv" strategy? Hulu currently offers one (although I ended up dropping it due to their hobbled DVR)

Wow, I remember reading that postmortem when it first came out.

After reading the postmortem I became very interested in this mysterious Lisp language that was being used by the experts.
> I honestly feel that in the current day and age, if anyone tried the same stuff many of us got away with in the early 2000s (or 90s), then the punishment would be much much stricter.

There are still resources for this CTF365 comes to mind and the Offensive Security lab for their certs. There are also awesome people putting up networks you are invited to attack for free, there was one that was part of a workshop at HOPE XI but I can't recall the site. And running even multiple VMs to practice with is something a lot of people can do today.
I very much do not like the argument you are making, as the implication is that no employer, or indeed anyone with power, should be criticised.

Society should work for the benefit of society, not just those in a position of power. We are seeing a change in how employment works, and we (i.e. society) need to work out how to handle this change. This article is part of the debate. You should not try to shut down the debate.
If we imagine that "life goodness" can be measured by a single real number, and we model it with a normal distribution with a mean somewhere on the positive axis, then one way to say what you describe is that we create a threshold somewhere along the left-hand tail of that distribution, and we declare anything below the threshold as morally unacceptable, in need of social constraints that prevent the permissibility of outcomes falling further to the left than our threshold.

As technology enables expansion of the right-side tail for the relatively most wealthy, it seems like a reasonable utilitarian goal to say that we should adjust the left-side threshold more and more to the right, in a "optimize the well-being of the least well off" sense.

So I'd view this ever rightward moving threshold as a very good thing that represents exactly what we want in terms of progress.

If we ever got to a point where we said, welp "poor people" are now above the magic threshold (e.g. because the people on the left tail of the distribution mostly have hot showers, cell phones, and Netflix), so what more do they want? ... why are they complaining? ... this would be incredibly frightening. Essentially the wealthy would be deciding at which threshold upward human progress gets to stop, in favor of creating skewness in the distribution that concentrates more wealth into the right-side tail, as long as that left-side threshold stays above the "hot showers, cell phones, and Netflix" line.
A nice start. However, there seems to be plenty of room for improvement. You seem to have "Founded Own Company" set to "No" for everyone. Perhaps that field is not actually getting pulled from your database?
Yeah, I'm of two minds of the usefulness of sharing links to things that a significant proportion of people might not be able to access.

This is actually a good use-case for that pay-per-article site/app (but I can't remember its name off the top of my head). Unfortunately, I don't know how easily I could find the article in it. I emailed them about that and they told me they were working on integrating with publisher sites; maybe they should look into integrating with aggregator sites instead.

Well, i'm reading their silence as "We don't give a fuck about protecting customers' data.... cause its mine!"

In the end, companies whom don't go through with the GDPR prep and implementation tell me precisely one thing: there's something in their process that makes it hard for them to comply. But not seeing "We're in progress to comply at $date" tells me that they're doing some pretty nefarious stuff. Is that actually the truth? Well, we don't know and can't figure that out.

It's either you comply with the GDPR globally, or for $reasons you don't. I choose to work with GDPR compliant orgs first. I know how my data will be used. And if I buy European IoT hardware, I know its not a spy-station.

Edit: FUCK rate limiting. Here's my response.

Given that I'm an American who has had many accounts exfiltrated or otherwise leaked, I'm frankly sick of companies treating me as a data pinata.

I could go on to cite countless examples, but that dead horse has been beaten time and again. And in many cases, my data is used even without my permission (sending to gmail addresses, facebook ghost profiles, etc).

It might be charitable initially, but I've seen my own impact on bad data practices. It was the wild west... And now the GDPR finally puts a stop to a lot of badness.
Make the leap when you have customers for your new AR software.

Financial stress while doing startups is very distracting and possibly deadly to the new company. Plus your income can help fund expected and unexpected expenditures.

I've done 8 startups, only one from my savings. I'm on #8 right now with a job and slowly building it on the side. It's 12-16 hour days sometimes but I have health insurance covered, paid time off/holidays, and significantly more revenue than I need with dual incomes.

I'm leaving once there's enough capital in the company to cover myself and my partner's payments for 1 year with no income and our first 5 clients.

If you feel you're not giving your customers the service they need, you can setup a small coloc office and hire a 15-20/hr employee to man the phones give customer support.

Good luck. I worked on AR products in Oil & Gas, some of the worst crap I've ever seen in my life. A good workflow will make your users love your product, so eat your own dogfood :-)
Under gdpr (and also old privacy eu directive) you have to link a explicit privacy policy with the "check the inbox" to confirm consent, if there was no privacy policy linked the consent is not valid (not before, nor now, nor anymore)

Sounds like a good time to buy Comcast stock, and/or short Netflix stock. I'm no fan of Comcast (I've been trolling my city's building permit listings, drooling over the small fiber providers inching closer to my neighborhood), but they do still own a ton of physical infrastructure, as well as a massive IP library. Netflix has branding and momentum on their side, but they're also in a much more fragile position.

> at least let us use Google maps with Car Play?

This pissed me off so much it drove me to getting a pixel 2 so I could use google maps with android auto and I am 100% happy with the decision. I tried the htc one and samsung galaxy s2 a few years ago but found them clunky and slow so i switch back to the iphone. The pixel 2 though is just as quick and intuitive as my iphone was except now I get first rate support for google services. I totally recommend you try it out.

Edit: I just got a call on my pixel 2 and it said it was a suspected spammer so i ignored and unsurprisingly it left some foreign language voicemail. Thinking about it now, I'm surprised that is the first spam call I have received since switching 2 weeks ago as I use to get those usually every day on my iphone. So extra bonus for those that hate spam calls, it looks like the pixel 2 does some pretty good spam filtering for you.

Even worse, they tried to get an audit, but it ended up with them and their auditor ending the process without producing an audit. Apparently they weren't too happy the auditor wanted to actually take a close look:

“We confirm that the relationship with Friedman is dissolved. Given the excruciatingly detailed procedures Friedman was undertaking for the relatively simple balance sheet of Tether, it became clear that an audit would be unattainable in a reasonable time frame. As Tether is the first company in the space to undergo this process and pursue this level of transparency, there is no precedent set to guide the process nor any benchmark against which to measure its success.”
