My comment on SenseTime

It is a unicorn of few billion bucks without a SINGLE THING that makes money.

They have an "AI" supposedly, but that thing does not make money magically appear in their pocket.

At best, they market a face recognition library, that sucks in comparison to a first grader's OpenCV hello world.
> but it is not there on Day 0.

I'm pretty sure there are loans where it is, or at least a portion of it is, or at a bare minimum there's an early repayment fee. It would not surprise me to learn that in the world of business finance, these happen. It also wouldn't surprise me to learn that these are used creatively to shift money between entities.
The Union didn't fight a war on slavery (in fact, it included slave states). The Confederacy fought for slavery, the Union fought for, well, union.
The available financials (read them) don’t allow backing out Uber’s cost if investing in side businesses, or international customer acquisition costs, or per market profitability. Yet he made bold claims in all those areas.

I am guessing not. Which kind of makes the GP's point.
That didn't stop them from renaming the Company from Tavendo to Crossbar.io, though, it seems. As they are advertising the protocol as "open Web Application Messaging Protocol" they might as well abbreviate it OWAMP. Just sayin'...

If government funded by "voluntary taxation" isn't anarchy, I'm not sure what else it could be. It seems to me obvious that either there is a monopoly on coercive power or there is not, and "voluntary taxation" means there is not. Which means you have multiple gangs or insurgencies.
Around here it's often capitalism that is the poster cold for world peace.
This is being done under the Illinois Biometric Privacy Act (2008), but Illinois and a number of other states also have some similar (and pretty forward thinking) rules in place regarding data breaches of biometric data [1]

If facial recognition becomes legally recognized as a "biometric marker" (no reason it shouldn't) - I think we'll see all sorts of other suits come out of this.

A few days ago I decided I was done with Facebook for good. It just makes me depressed nowadays. I listened to a talk given by Chamath Palihapitiya and another given by Sean Parker and they both used a phrase that kinda freaked me out. They both separately talked about how they specifically designed "dopamine driven feedback loops" to take advantage of user psychology. To get them hooked.

And then I just started realizing how creepy it is that they don't even allow somebody to outright delete their profile unless they have died and their legacy admin proves they have died and deletes it for them.

How creepy is that? They are like a manipulative partner in a relationship, who thinks they have their hooks in you so deep that they act all compassionately when you say you want to break up, but deep inside they are saying to themselves, "You'll be back bitch. You know you need daddy."

It used to be a good thing. I mean i've sparked a few relationships using facebook. But nowadays it's just political banter, pictures of single mother's babies (i lost my baby son 5 years ago so this makes me uncomfortable when im bombarded by everybody else's little bundles of joy), memes memes memes memes, stories about dead/missing people, non stop selfies, and nothing of real substance.

Aren't we supposed to like not know so much about other people so that when we get together we have something to discover about each other? It's like we have gotten to the point where we NEED to know everything about people we actually don't really know that well in real life.

And everybody is competing for points on who can be the most self obsessed and nosey at the same time. I'd rather watch Youtube videos because at least that is art in a way. People taking time to make sure what they say is presented in the best format possible.
Your technology will ultimately be used to kill people. Bear in mind that the US electorate showed itself capable of crowning a unhinged TV show host as its commander in chief.
I believe that says more of the US than of having rules like GDPR. While the EU can really mess things up, they do work on it. It seems like the US legislation really have an inability to form laws like the GDPR. I think the American people should have a bit more faith in the government and stop being so binary about things, those rules might be evolved into something better.

Technically, I believe, it should be a lot harder to get consensus about anything with such a diverse political landsacape like in Europe.
However it seems like it’s working to strengthen it (if we disregard the mishap of Great Britain).

What B2B CRM do you use?
Where I work, we have lots of clients. Our sales and marketing teams have their a CRM that works really well for them, for sales, but it's terrible for day-to-day management of existing clients. We're having a really hard time finding a CRM for just managing the day-to-day activities, contacts, and progress of each client. Thoughts?
So you had a google account @yourdomain.com as a Google (and GMail?) account but later left GMail? Did you delete your Google account or just disassociate it with GMail?

I haven’t heard of this but I can see how it could happen depending on the exact state of your @yourdomain.com Google account. Sounds messy though and maybe we can sort it out.
There’s a difference between offering facial recognition as a feature to users of the software and collecting biometric data as a additional revenue source. In one case the user owns their biometric data and is granting the company access to it for the limited use of tagging photos. In the other case the company owns the biometric data and is using it for god knows what.
>Australia's scandal-plagued financial sector is at the centre of a national inquiry into misconduct.

You are right. That sounded more dismissive than I intended, and I agree on both counts; video games can be artistic masterpieces, and freedom of expression is a very important and fundamental human right.

So censorship of games is bad, too. But in my judgement, it is probably not going to rise the the level of interning or murdering people at scale.

Will check out the game. ;-)
It's not massively important, but I still think it's a good idea not to make a conclusion and then work your way back through history viewing with that lens.

GNOME was (and is as far as I know) part of GNU. The G stands for GNU -- GNU Network Object Model Environment. It actually had a CORBA ORB in it. Apart from the misguided idea of building a DE around CORBA (which, I admit, I thought was a fantastic idea at the time), the main reason for doing the work was that KDE was built on top of QT. KDE was GPL and everybody was completely happy with that part of it. The problem was that it was built on top of something that the FSF felt was incompatible with the GPL (I can't remember the exact issue).

GNOME uses the LGPL for its libraries and the GPL for its applications -- as per virtually every normal FSF project. One of the reasons there were more libraries in GNOME than you might ordinarily have was because it was intended to be a set of distributed components all talking together over TCP/IP. It's an enormous mistake, but as I am fond of saying, we're all young once.

Anyway, the point is that your notion that GNOME was somehow more pragmatic in terms of trying to avoid copyleft licenses is completely incorrect.

Please note that Telegram is not a Russian company; it is registered in Great Britain. Russian government doesn't have any jurisdiction over it.

Also, russian users are less than 10% of Telegram userbase.

So now Apple is putting sanctions upon a British company just because Russia says so.

This sets a dangerous precedent. What will we see tomorrow? China, Thailand, Iran and North Korea kicking apps they don't like out of App Store? Apple banning apps on political grounds?

Well, since steam is in the background during all the games launched from it, often allows a special video overlay to browse community features while the game is running, supports chat, has an embedded browser, and can be used as an operating system overlay so you don't even have to use the OS for most things (big picture mode, for dedicated use and control with a game controller), I can imagine they probably want to make sure whatever allocator and reclamation scheme they are using has very low and predictable latency.

The last thing they want to have to deal with is people reporting how running the game through steam costs a non-negligible amount of performance, or causes weird occasional lags/stalls while playing. In that respect, it's an extremely high performance application, in that it needs to be nigh unnoticeable to the type of people that overclock systems, push their graphics cards to their limits, and play games with FPS counters always showing in the corner.

In that respect, it may be a textbook case of an application where you want a very specific memory allocation scheme that falls within very strict performance guidelines.
In times past and in other cultures, someone might migrate solo and later bring their family over. I've read stories of European migrants doing this to Australia. Sometimes, it would be years later.

Were people then more willing to leave partners or kids behind? Or elderly parents?

I don't think I'd ever entertain the idea of moving without my partner and children like that.

Even in a very connected world, my partner is not interested in being away from her circle of friends for any serious length of time, let alone a major career/lifestyle move.

Anything (not a channel name, just anything) by Tom Scott, his recent gameshow has been pretty good as it's like Only Connect but I've got a better chance of answering the questions. Huge backlog of things too and as he's got more popular he's got more access to interesting places and things. Just seems like a genuinely nice guy explaining things he finds interesting. Probably worth starting with "things you might not know" or "amazing places".

CollegeHumor - can be hit and miss but the ratio is good enough for me. They did a series of a gameshow called "Umm actually" which was great.

For a 25 years old student from a middle european country that I am, everything happens on facebook. I don't post or see posts of others. I simply hid that feature with a browser extension long time ago. But I use groups extensively for discussions and help in any field i'm interested in. There are groups where you can only sell things, that's also very useful. I use messenger to connect to literally anyone I know, my family, friends, my colleagues. I receive events there too. Some of the places I go to only have a facebook page. Last time a good confectionery posted that they close in a week. How else would I know if I didn't use facebook? It's pretty much perfect for me because I can't think of anything else that I would need.
Another interesting thing is a group where almost all of the country is represented and they have varying quiality posts on everything that happened to them. If someone keyed your car, you ask for witnesses there, if you lost your wallet on a tram, you ask for help there. Currently the admins share abortion stories to keep the sources' anonimity. So that's a nice group with all it's quirks.
>To claim that the US is the police and not the thugs is to completely ignore reality.

Or maybe the US just had a problematic idea of what police should be doing, which explains a lot of our other problems.
I still can't decide whether FB (and others) think they can get away with being non compliant or just accepted violating GDPR is the cost of doing business.
100% agree. Facebook completely dropped the ball in terms of what they're really offering these days. Besides some a/b testing and ad optimisation what have they added in terms of features in the last 5 years?
It's basically a messenger and a newsfeed with pictures, sometimes videos and URLs to (often fake) news. Anything else kind of went nowhere after a while - whether that's their Classifieds section or Foursquare-competitor section or Games etc

I have seen a large part of my Facebook friends leave the platform (I'd estimate at least half are inactive). And our whole class joined when Stanford came onboard as the second school after Harvard way way way long ago.
> In Bugzilla, the only real option we had was "Closed: WONTFIX/NOTABUG" which almost always resulted in hurt feelings on the part of the bug reporter.

> I think the gitlab tooling allows us to be more diplomatic in closing bugs that are out-of-scope or not aligned with the goals of the project at large.

Can you give more details about this? Closing is closing and Bugzilla allows you to name your statuses whatever you want, so I don't understand how GitLab would change anything.

My experience is that GitLab (and GitHub) is worse in tracking bugs compared to Bugzilla (I've triaged about 10k reports).

I also think having the cut-off at 1 year is a bit drastic. I would have gone for 5 years.

There's no bending necessary. Google defined [1] what they meant in their IPO filing.

> We believe strongly that in the long term, we will be better served—as shareholders and in all other ways—by a company that does good things for the world even if we forgo some short term gains

So it boils down to the simple interpretation: Is helping the U.S. military consistent with doing good things for the world? Public opinion polls conducted in 2016 indicated that 78% of Americans trusted the military to act in the interest of the public [2]. So, at least among Americans, I think it's a reasonable conclusion that a majority of people view the military as doing good.

>Because they oppose the drone warfare program, which is killing noncombatants in nominally allied countries.

I don't understand this logic. Drones are a weapon. They are not any more evil than any other weapon that the military uses. They aren't killing people autonomously. There is a human pilot behind every death. The pilot just happens to be hundreds or thousands miles away from the aircraft. Would we be fine with the military killing the exact same people if the pilot was simply on the aircraft that launched the missiles or bombs?

The distinct advantage of drones is to safeguard the lives of military personnel by not putting them in harms way. You can make an argument that this fact makes using military force politically easier, but I think the blame for that is once again on the military/political leadership and not the drones themselves.

If your problem is with killing people, it should be with the people who ordered the killing and not the specific weapon that was used to carry out the killing.

Well, 100% conversion of the entire world to open-source software would indeed solve the issue I describe. But, I have only 57 more years to live[1], and I don't think I will likely see that happen in my remaining time on earth.

Another way to prevent this issue is simply to have open computing platforms without significant barriers to running arbitrary software, and without any gatekeeper that can prevent them. This is mostly how computers have worked since their inception, and indeed is still how Apple's macOS machines work.

I am not saying that this model can prevent atrocities, but it can prevent companies like Apple from being complicit in those atrocities.

(But I think it's likely that this kind of platform model would benefit at-risk populations to some degree, too, because when there's no effective gatekeeper, there's no central point for a state actor wishing to do evil to apply pressure to.)

Amazon’s first warehouses in Seattle were tiny(maxing at 60k sq ft as I recall), then 200k in Delaware, then 600k+ in the next few in Nevada, Georgia, Kansas, and Kentucky with the first generation of partial automation(tilt tray sortation systems).

It was easy to sneak off to the bathroom in the smaller facilities.

The bigger facilities had dispersed bathrooms, but depending on the specific job role/location it could be quite a long walk back/forth to use it.

Most of a break period could be spent traveling to/from a break area.

I’m just guessing, but I suspect facility design for the many more recent fulfillment centers(100+ since the early ones) take into account employee traffic/movement/efficiency based on data from existing centers.

That is not even remotely close to what RedLetterMedia did...

RLM made a critique and review -- distinctly mentioned in fair use laws -- using star wars clips. Absolutely legal, 100%, explicitly protected. Movie reviews get to show bits of movies, book reviews get to mention characters, etc etc within strict guidelines (hence the re-release of the review).

What the lawyers are talking about in this case is showing almost all of Star Wars with some interviews in front of it, calling it a "documentary", and then having full usage to complete songs. Very different. They are talking about other publishers sneakily re-releasing Star Wars for profit, not reviews.
