That's exactly what happened, e.g.:

'For example, Pennsylvania brought suit alleging a "conspiracy in concealing and misrepresenting the addictive and harmful nature of tobacco/nicotine[,] . . . industry control and manipulation of nicotine to foster addiction and thus profits[,] . . . intentionally attracting and addicting children to tobacco products," and "targeting African Americans" (complaint in Commonwealth of Pennsylvania v. Philip Morris, Inc.). These claims encompass civil conspiracy, willful and negligent breach of a special duty, fraudulent misrepresentation, fraudulent concealment, negligent design, strict liability, unfair trade practices, public nuisance, and negligent and intentional entrustment.'

That's really cool. I've primarily seen LTO benefits on the more embedded side of things where it ends up enabling far more aggressive dead code elimination between code and libraries which makes it much easier to fit into small chips. I hadn't thought much about virtual methods with C++ code (uncommon to see those in embedded code to begin with).
Wouldn't you say that a conclusion is a prediction about the results of further investigations?

Transferring? You are thinking small. What about expanding beyond your brain, so that it becomes a small part of a whole and by the time it starts failing it's just a peripheral input preprocessing device/local motion planner/unreliable redundant memory storage/small vote in global decision making and not you.

The possibility is still pretty far. Reliable biocompatible high throughput brain computer interfaces aren't there yet.

The comments from Apple indicate that what they're really concerned about is disclosure to the media, not someone copying their self-driving technology, such as it is. Apple put 5000 people on this project and failed. What they don't need is an insider writing an "Apple's Biggest Failure" book. I wonder if we'll ever see a technical post-mortem on this.
Unfortunately "t" is abandoned, and a lot of the Twitter API has changed since the last release, meaning a lot of its functions are broken.

Yes, from my very limited to exposure to this (not in SV, but in healthcare), these are two key points:

absurd amount of anomaly detections per day, usually with a 99.9% false positive rate

Adding lots of red tape and restrictions and wasting time investigating employees who've done nothing wrong

What I've seen/heard about is that you end up with some EVP pissed off that IT/SEC is bothering their people – rightly or wrongly, it'll inevitably get used an excuse for why something is late. So the EVP (virtually) marches into the office of the IT/SEC director and issues an edict that everyone in <this super special department> are too important to be bothered and any access restrictions or investigations affecting <the department> must get prior approval from the EVP's office. That's of course a huge pain in the ass, which results in that department effectively being exempt, i.e., a perfect place for an internal spy.

The IT/SEC director, often several rungs down from the angry EVP, usually has the authority to stand up to the EVP, technically, but that is a risky move, can easily start a turf war.

So, for these programs to be effective, they must get buy-in from the absolute highest levels with no exemptions, which is not easy in the highly political world of huge organizations.

Python Sets: What, Why and How
There are two newer, disheartening trends in game development that feed on people’s enjoyment of games: pay-to-win and forever-early-access. Both are marketed as a way to support the game’s development, and in some cases that may be true. If it’s just cosmetics that are on sale (no loot boxes) or the developer is genuinely taking community feedback then both are bearable evils, but so often players are taken for a ride with the cost being their money, time and mental well-being. Companies should absolutely be held accountable for these practises, particularly because it’s often children and adolescents who are the victims.
What I don't understand, though, is this upper echelon counterpart of shadowy people, with some imaginary self-sustaining and perpetual deep need to indulge in misanthropic subjugation.

Sure, humans have a natural tendency to enjoy a well-rubbed ego stroke, however saccharine the sycophant might play their role, but somewhere along the line, the game's novelty wears off. Sooner or later, it becomes obvious who needs who, and the power dynamic changes. All that glittered is no longer gold.

I think technology seems to be demonstrating a precedent that after a phase of childish glory seeking we're all rendered lazy shut-ins, robbed of a will to power by being waited on hand and foot with push-button convenience.

The future looks like a place so perfect, we might not need to enslave an entourage of contrived fandom and happy thoughts. If the economics of scarcity change, and all our needs are met, we'll be bored stiff, with nothing to complain about. And then what?
It's based on the perf tests, which I think are all public.
It's only a problem if their goals include efficiently getting the most research value out of taxpayer investment, while retaining highly-skilled public employees in a long-lived, scientifically-oriented organization.

Historically, a high percentage of major advances in basic science arose in publically-funded org's. The vision tends to be more long-term, the results less utilitarian.
Anyone who does anything sufficiently valuable to society should worry about liability. Addictive or not, tons of value = tons of $$ = tons of envy = tons of political points to be had by taking you down a peg.
Or at least scratch someone's itch. Preferably an unscratched one. In the simplest, most convenient possible way.
Why that way? Why shouldn't the employers have to prove that they have a significant need before severely restricting employee freedom?

Yeah, div soup is so declarative.

My point is that tons and tons of companies, with many billions of lines of code, do not have an easy option.

Plenty of the environment still has not moved over even outside of companies.

I wouldn't. React makes it hard to FUBAR a front end. JQuery makes it stupidly easy to write a spaghetti code unmaintainable mess.
You are diving to deep and talking about the difference between formal logic and empirical sciences. I am not talking about that.

Things like algorithmic complexity are well understood and formalized but design patterns are not a science nor has the concepts ever been formalized..

There is no theory or formalized system that says monolithic is better than micro or vice versa, it's all opinion. That's why its' called design.
What do you mean by model checking? Usually anything with the keyword "Design" like design patterns for microservices have no science or mathematics to back it up.
To me, this disqualifies it:

> Each Bitwarden installation requires a unique installation id and installation key.

If I’m self hosting, I want it to be independent of the code provider. It is bad enough, to me, that I have to pay a subscription fee to self-host “advanced” features like Yubikey auth. That’s the same kind of annoying that my own install still must link to their server that can die at any moment.

Let me buy the software to self-host with all of the features. The “subscription” and “integrated” mindset has no place in “I’m doing it myself” installs.
Yeah, but those 6 people from one shift aren't all going to up and jump ship at the same time for shits and giggles. If they're doing that, then it's because they're feeling mistreated.
Pulling down for notifications is a form of addictive behavior in itself, much like pulling the arm on a slot machine. You might get nothing, you often get something boring, you rarely get something great. Perversely, they can taper off how often it pays off which makes it more addictive (deep instincts tell us to keep trying when we know the odds are bad), which is a pattern that's easily observed in a lot of games.

Sorting ads to the top is, as far as I know, not a mechanism for increasing addiction so much as a way to try to monetize it. It's more likely to run into anti-trust regulations than public health concerns in my opinion.

But as to regulation, it's likely to run behind the technology but it's not hard to document dark patterns and write laws against them, just like bait-and-switch and various con jobs that were well known before the Internet age.
Math is building formal logic systems based off of a set of a few axioms. Computer science is essentially an aspect of this.
"Each Bitwarden installation requires a unique installation id and installation key."

A) I never claimed to have that position (I probably do, but take exception to your intimation that I do or should)

B) I find nothing morally wrong with the idea that the company that finances, and the dozens of engineers that build an industry leading hardware appliance should be the ones who profit from it’s sale. I also don’t find any moral problems with the idea that an ongoing intelligence feed requiring the work of 6-8 highly trained specialists in their field also generate money solely for those engineers and the company.

Both of the above statements completely ignore the fact that this was an incident of trade secret theft. I don’t believe I ever mentioned copyright, nor do I see that as a primary violation here.
zackbloom you’ve made your point already, but remember that these posts represent a moving target. AWS could crush CF performance on pretty much all these numbers with a few configuration changes, which they might well do. And you’re not acknowledging the rest of the Lambda moat, like SQS integration, free S3 bandwidth etc.

Workers has a clear advantage over Lambda@Edge, but not because of the current resource configuration differences across the two products - the advantage is your choice of V8 and adoption of the Service Worker API standard, which brilliantly outshines the L@Edge API choices. Harp on that, most of what you’re talking about now will likely be invalidated by the next reinvent, and they’ll make it a point to tell the world.

This is an interesting analysis, but I have a serious problem with the strong implication that high vividness = good.

At the rock bottom of the vividness scale, we find Jane Austen, Isaac Asimov, Agatha Christie, C.J. Cherryh, and Danielle Steel -- all extremely popular authors. And at the very top, we find George R.R. Martin, Roald Dahl, Poul Anderson, Edgar Rice Burroughs, Ray Bradbury, and Kim Stanley Robinson -- also popular, but generally not quite of the same stature as those on the first list.

Possibly the reading public is slightly biased toward low vividness. Meanwhile, I have at least two favorite authors on both lists.
Maybe it's just my phone (6) but you may find that once you get 1000+ logins, Bitwarden falls apart pretty quickly. I've heard the same from people with 800+ logins. I remember it used to be very quick when I initially used it with a few plugins.

IIRC from their Github issue threads, Bitwarden is using Xamarin, and performant UI has been a consistent struggle with many login entries.

Do people not know about Steam sales?

Pay to win is such an awful concept, I wont touch it. Especially since there are literally 30 years of games and emulators to play.

For 'forever early access', you really need to be sucked into the marketing to waste time and money on an unfinished game.

I dont want to imply I'm some sort of stone wall when it comes to marketing, but I dont understand why people would do either of these. I've put 15 hours into Mount and Blade since the Steam Summer Sale and I dont think I paid more than 5 or 7 dollars.

I'm not sure that distinction is as clear as you're describing it. Pretty much anything that creates positive feedback has the potential to create addictive behaviors, and (most) porn certainly isn't going for a realistic depiction of a healthy sex life. The design of porn sites, like most content websites, are oriented around continued usage. Trying to get people to use your product more doesn't seem technically distinguishable to me from "engineering to create addiction", and it's not clear to me what you think makes the two examples you describe distinct from each other.
