In the past, I've read so many horror stories of working at EA, that I always steered away from the gaming industry for nearly a decade.

Then one day, a recruiter contacted me and told me all about a notable exception: Kabam. I ended up working at Kabam for 5 years and I have to say it was one of the best places I have ever worked, with decent pay and good work life balance, with lots of perks. I realize this is a rare exception, in the games industry.
> YouTube captioning tends to range from bad to horrible.

Yes, and I mentioned YouTube specifically because it's representative of the best machine transcription (which this service is) can offer.

TED talks are indeed transcribed by professionals, and so the quality is a magnitude better than what this service can provide. TEDx talks are transcribed by volunteers, so their quality is more variable.[1]

> It was obvious to anyone since the beginning that FB was a clearinghouse for private data trading.

I tire of this argument that users should obviously know they are trading their personal information in return for access to a service. They don't know this. It's obvious in a conversation with any (even lightly) tech-illiterate person that nothing about how the modern internet economy works is obvious.

Think back to the emergence of the web as a truly popular medium. There was no Google Analytics, no FB tracking buttons that follow you around on every web site you visit (that one is particularly egregious - FB users are tracked even when they aren't on facebook.com, and we expect users to just know this?), just advertisers buying a banner ad slot from the owner of a web site. Back then social networking was, what, AIM? That was free and they didn't harvest user info for it. The change has been gradual, and the idea that users should have kept up with every development that led us to where we are today is preposterous.

When this has happened in the past the answer has been clear: knowledgable people come together to pass laws that benefit individual citizens who have neither the knowledge nor time to learn.

It seems like a huge issue though. And we need to know in what precise way did Facebook enforce this with third-parties and verify compliance. If they just put it as a line in a comtract, but left the ability to circumvent this open in the device integrated API, and then never did due diligence compliance checks, then Facebook’s defense is entirely disingenuous and it’s reasonable to view them as culpable.
There’s no way Gitlab is turning down multiple billions of dollars like GitHub. They likely burn even more money than GitHub since their free offerings are bigger.

Watching this, I can't help but feel that Apple has committed fully to a very specific target audience, and that audience is mostly the global affluent.

While this is not entirely surprising, it's still fascinating to see how much emphasis they put on things that I, a working-class-but-now-tech-middle-class, truly don't care about. Until a year or two ago I felt Apple still targeted at least my audience, but recent developments feel strangely alienating.

The alternative explanation is that Apple is spinning its wheels and just doesn't know what to do next, but what with the rise of global uber-affluent (Chinese and Russian elites, for once, see: gold themed products), this doesn't seem like a bad choice considering the competition. It just feels saddening somehow.

Ouch, that's a rough comparison @hunter23. We hear you though, there is a lot packed into that Merge Request area. I would love to hear what you think about this updated design https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/37479#note_71....

"While their company has invested in design resources, it feels like every designer is focused on a specific feature. When you group those features into a page (like merge requests) you get this jumbled mess."

Thank you for the honest and direct feedback. We work together as a team and try to keep a holistic view even as we iterate on specific features. We know we can do better here and are actively working to make things consistent and understandable. We have opened several epics dedicated to this, you can see them here: https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/-/epics?scope=all&utf8=...

I love your idea of doing incremental improvements on the products in the Pro line. Pros need proven performance and reliability - their livelihood is literally at stake.

Though I wasn't thinking it I see the potential need for an iPhone Pro - more people are taking their business mobile and they need a device on which they can run their business while they're out and about. Just like the rest of the Pro line we're envisioning it'd be a rugged device with incremental improvements. Leave the play ground for the iPhone.

The foundation of the most popular text editor right now, VSCode, is based upon Electron & Atom. So yeah GitHub really paved a way for all the Electron apps.

Also, GitHub really works perfectly for me & I don't frankly need any new features as I am perfectly fine with what's given. There is less likely that I miss something on GitHub or need some new feature :)
the evolution of this acquisition over the past two days has been interesting. Its even more interesting in the context of say, gitlab importer state metrics in grafana..beware, the importer metric is under heavy load and sometimes doesnt

respond. https://monitor.gitlab.net/dashboard/db/github-importer

Reports of migrations to other sites are real, and Microsoft sees a risk thats legitimate enough to issue a presser. Its going to be hard to head off a github exodus at the pass because git itself is open source and there are numerous alternatives that can quickly and easily (some with no more than the click of a button) spirit the github userbase --which is what Microsoft arguably wants in order to legitimize its cloud/open source push-- away from them.

https://sourceforge.net/ even released a special tool to migrate you away from github. Certainly some of the more business minded users will argue this acquisition from Microsoft is a "good move" but the fact that this is the second presser microsoft has thrown out regarding the nature of its merger in less than 5 hours reflects a pretty sincere push from redmond. Microsofts historic legacy of fear, uncertainty, doubt, and outright hostile action to crush open source and startups in general is a pretty insurmountable.
Congratulations! That sounds like a really good use of your time. Nobody ever get fired for choosing Microsoft...

Oh yeah. I totally agree that we should be concerned about the long term consequences of herbicide resistance and that Roundup ready crops will contribute to that problem. We should probably have some national standards for sustainable agriculture that are backed by science and enforced by the government. Just like we should have a national strategy for handling antibiotics in order to minimize or slow resistance.

But this is not a problem unique to Monsanto, Roundup nor GMOs. If Monsanto was gone tomorrow, someone would just jump up in their place, different gene, different herbicide, same problem. Most people who work at Monsanto probably think they're doing something good for people. They're selling the most modern solution to an ancient problem and keeping the green revolution rolling. Are they aware about the concerns regarding their product? Probably, but just like most people they're a bit willfully ignorant of the consequences of how they earn their living.

In the end, I don't think the solution is to throw the baby out with the bathwater and get on the fast train to fruit loop town with the no GMO, Monsanto is evil, "organic" only, all natural kool-aid drinkers. Having a standards body in place that makes sure this technology is applied responsibly is the best solution in my mind. Of course ensuring regulatory bodies aren't overtaken by zealots or shills is always a problem but I'm not sure what else to do.
The only reason I'm addicted to my smartphone is because my work email is connected to it. I've fallen into this habit of checking my work email every few minutes to make sure there are no fires or when I'm in meetings. On weekends, when I consciously keep my phone away, I find myself less attached to the phone though it's more than I'd like it to be.
Sure, but do we just absolve people of all individual responsibility to think even a little bit and make educated choices? I think there is more evidence that people just don't really care about this issue. After all of this came out, FB use didn't really go down.

To be honest, they are many types of devs (Hardcore cyberpunk = Hate corporations and true devs only use Linux and build cyber weapon systems to destroy evil corporations ) and Slaves devs (Slaves to corporations or materials etc...and write codes to destroy their own citizens ). Many slave devs are programmed via advanced algorithms warfare systems, so the corporation figured out the weaknesses of this type of Slaves devs (Microsoft devs etc....). I believe that they try to track/steal code project without being noticed from the owners of the project. Then, they will create the same project (Products), and they will sue right away if you try to compete. By the way, they will upload malicious code in your computer via github or they will get easy access to your computer or startup from this software. In short, Microsoft is a spy agency made by the NSA...... Solution :Gitlab(open source) with your own VPS

I agree that its really easy for a system like the mortgage finance system to be transformed by a small group of influential people, but think its probably hard to predict or control how / how much that transformation will impact stuff downstream. I dont think the bankers who invented CDOs knew how real estate investors in socal or mortgage lenders in florida would respond, at least not the extent of the response. Of course that's just my opinion, maybe they did know. But they probably just saw this was a way to create a product that customers would buy and stopped there. A lot of banks had massive amounts of the securities on their balance sheets, if they knew exactly what they were doing their risk models would have been better

I agree that thinking you can "magically" decrease risk is probably foolish, but some really smart ppl believe that they can model risk better than anyone, and with they deploy a lot of money based on that conviction. Sometimes they're ultimately right, but if they're wrong for long enough they still lose everything (see LTCM)
Question:

Is some group is accumulating so much money that the poorest have insufficient money remaining for their basic needs?

Observations:

- Aggregate total wealth of all private households in Great Britain was £11.1 trillion (in 2014) [1]

- In the UK there were 27.2 million households in 2017, resulting in an average household size of 2.4. [2]

- This computes to an average wealth of £408,000 per household in the UK.

- According to the Office for National Statistics, as of November 2017,
the average UK house price reached £226,071 [3]

Conclusion:

With perfect wealth equality, the basic needs for everyone living in the UK can theoretically be met. Therefore, it is possible that wealth accumulation may be a significant contributor to the homeless problem.

However, the gap between the cost of living in the UK and the average wealth in the nation is fairly thin. With a realistic Gini coefficient, a large portion of the population will have their basic cost of living exceed what their wealth can support. Adjusting the wealth distribution will reduce the size of the homeless problem, but not solve it.

The UK should seek to identify why its cost of living exceeds what this portion of the population can support and take appropriate action to resolve these issues.

>Care to elaborate? And what could she do anyways?

I found that adults can have "mental challenges" that if a child has the same thing, acts differently. For example, I was quite sarcastic as a parent, and having a child be sarcastic to other kids and adults is often disrespectful because they don't know how to "be sarcastic" correctly, or know when it's not appropriate.

When I told my daughter to put her phone down at dinner, or play a game with her siblings, something she had no issue doing before, she reacted harshly in response. I was a very stressed out and tense parent and reacted harshly, and not patiently. So she was mimicing my behavior when she also got stressed and didn't know how to deal with the emotions.

Contrast this with her younger siblings, who I was much more patient with, and when I asked them to put their devices down,if they didn't want to, I was more patient with them. I didn't give up on the request, but I also gave them a little time to put the things down. Which they always do.

>Although I hope there might be a small minority of parents who don't buy their children phones...

A very small minority in my experience. Some parents give their kids high-end iphones when they are in grade school.

My rules are simple. They got a "device" (could be phone without a cell account) when there were 13-14. Limited screen time "asked of them" (I really want them to learn to be responsible, so I don't set hard limits, I taught them to notice how tiring and wastful the time is, and they monitor themselves well), no screen locks, no social media, etc... When they are 16, they can drive and if they want cell connection, they pay for it themselves. (inexpensive extra line on family plan) Garners responsibility, and the expectations are "people over devices". And then also "people next to you over people online".

But I've seen a backlash in kids that are now older, becoming adults, they are working and don't have time for social media like they used to. Maybe a good trend coming?
Maybe it's due to Apple's (Steve) history with Pixar ?
I worked in the fertilizer business as an agronomist when Roundup Ready seeds were introduced. Farmers weren't bullied, they purchased because doing so made them more money.

I watched many ag companies introduce products with large marketing pushes that provided too little benefit to farmers and they all failed. Farmers tried these products on a small scale, saw there was too little benefit to them and stopped purchasing.

I followed the legal case of Percy Schmeiser and others. They all lost in a battle that went all the way to the US Supreme Court. There is no way that seed blowing over a fence line would lead to a crop that was 95-98% pure Roundup resistant seed, it's physically impossible. The farmers in question were simply cheating and got caught.

I feel like people shouldn't get to decide what is distasteful or not. Bakers should be able to reject making a cake with swear words, sexual imagery and hate speech, and that's about it. Everything else you make, unless of course you don't have the resources/staff/time etc. But on the basis of the message on the cake, if it isn't hateful, bake it.

This is clearly without regard to American law, I'm sure it conflicts, but that's where my views lie on this :)
126 Banks-Strong Brazilian Association Febraban Reveals Blockchain Tests
Socrates lived in Athens during Athenian democracy, which was a true and literal democracy, and was executed by democratic vote of 500 Athenian citizen jurors - 52% to 48%, perhaps a validation of Socrates' criticisms of democracy! Aside from that, many individuals at a high level of society and political involvement were direct students of Socrates.

Though in my comment I was alluding to the founding of the US in particular. The writings and philosophy that underpinned the founding and logic of this nation were incredible and undoubtedly set the stage for a rural backwoods colony to, in less than 300 years, become the most powerful and influential nation in the world. Of course much of the philosophy and logic that the nation was founded on has been disregarded or ignored when convenient and it's not so hard to argue that our ongoing success has been more the result of inertia than a fundamental superiority.

Why do cars have a second row of seats and two doors that rarely get used? Your average Audi doesn't exactly get used to it's potential every day either.
