As a consultant I've learned the hard way to document everything. Decisions taken together with the customer, what I have done. Keeping a work journal has become second nature and has saved me numerous times. When I'm lazy and sloppy with the notes I usually regret it.

Often, the work journal becomes the tool I use to do work itself. If I'm going to investigate some technical issue and send an email afterwards I'll do the investigation documentation in the journal, and can then just copy-paste the result into the email. Just adding a note in the journal that the when email was sent and to whom.

The tipping point was when I worked as an ASIC designer in Copenhagen, Denmark. We had meetings when a decision was made regarding functionality to be implemented. Only having the customer come back two weeks later and change the requirement. The customer then blamed on language issues for me not understanding the requirement in the first place and therefore the new functionality was what was stated from the beginning. As a consequence I as a consultant therefore would carry the cost of two weeks worth of work without pay. The first time this happened I was unable to prove that the customer in fact had changed the requirement. So I Started keeping a very detailed journal.

The next time I could ask if it fact wasn't the case that Mr XYZ in a meeting 20yy-mm-dd had decideed that we should do ABC, but now wants instead wants to do CDE. If so, that is not a misunderstanding but a changed requirement. After two such incidents the customer stopped with those tricks. And I've kept keeping journals ever since.

> since the author of this post already had video of these theives, there needs to be a platform to post these videos for the public to crowdsource the identity of these people.

No, what you need is a functioning police force. Not vigilante justice.

Edit: You could also make a public platform where you would crowdsource generating the political pressure to make the police work better, as well as monitoring them for doing their jobs. This has the advantage that the people put in the spotlight have a public function already, and that it's a more democratic process.

The main problem I have with your proposal is that it results in the doxxing and witch hunt of people caught on camera and even if mostly effective/just, this will eventually backfire because of the thirst for revenge and spectacle and because we can't have nice things.
I would not help because modern compiler treat UB as an optimization opportunity, including a license to do whatever they want (even elimination of code).

Hidden War on GPL
Another trend towards lower-power and lower-fidelity in AI-driven computer recognition systems. Last week, IBM announced it was developing better 8-bit AI hardware as an alternative to 16- and 32-bit systems, speeding computations and reducing hardware demands.

https://venturebeat.com/2018/12/02/ibms-8-bit-ai-training-te...

I guess once the human aspect is removed, the sensor and processing systems can be tailored for the computer aspect of recognition tasks, which isn't necessarily as powerful or high-definition as we expect.

Extended light sources like LEDs close to the planar sheet of course couple to some TIR guided ray paths in the glass.

It does use a PCM, and that is described as a salt so maybe it's where the confusion comes from.

> “Did partners get access to messages? Yes. But people had to explicitly sign in to Facebook first to use a partner’s messaging feature. Take Spotify for example. After signing in to your Facebook account in Spotify’s desktop app, you could then send and receive messages without ever leaving the app.”

Of course this is true. The media reports complete nonsense like "everyone had access to all your messages and your microphone and everything else ever on you and Zuckerberg sucks" and the truth is always, always that the users agreed to give up permissions and the permissions were actually pretty finely controlled. (Or Facebook was hacked.)

But that doesn't sell, so instead people conflate some data sharing with NSA-level conspiracy trolls and drum up bullshit media reports that they know Facebook cannot effectively fight since everyone currently hates them. It's absolute trash journalism.

Some issues with your statements:

1. Well, they probably own the car though which is a better parable. You don't need to rent your car, you can simply purchase it just as you can purchase servers. People build their own garages.

4. So you should only used already written software? Sometimes it is just faster and better to write it yourself. You get less dependencies, you know how the whole thing works etc.

5. Why not? That is exactly what one should do.
Copyright is there to help the creation of new works. Why should an author write a book or a studio produce a movie if literally everyone can freely copy it? (i.e. Book printers, DVD producers, Cinema's wouldn't have to pay the original producers). Producing creative work would be economically unviable.

That said, that's also its only justification, and current terms have long reached beyond that. There isn't a book that wasn't written in 1923 because it would be freely available in 2004, and if we shortened terms to 50 years it would have zero effect on the production of new works. Not a movie less will be made because its copyright expires in 2068 instead of 21xx.

Facebook today is in the same place as Microsoft in 2003-2007. Bad old API decisions made in pursuit of quick marketshare have come back to haunt. The main product is seen as lackluster and stagnated. Entries into new markets are seen as "me too" and out of sync with the brand image (Portal and Lasso might be Facebook's Zune).

Microsoft survived all that and is now the world's most valuable corporation again. Facebook isn't going to die either because it's effectively the Windows of people's lives.

You need to finance any buyout. There are three main sources you can use: cash, loan or stake in the company. Stake offers and loans are largely dependant on the image of health of the company. Remember, the calculated market value of company is mostly a promise of future income. If this promise is seen as unrealistic or too risky then the market value will crash and the main sources of its buying power can vanish overnight.

Large files with Git: LFS and git-annex
There's nothing nefarious about customer service not having access to every single possible data record on a customer. In fact, I'd be concerned if customer services had access to archived backups or raw server logs.

Irrelevant, customer service can know if the data record exists without having access to it.

For most intents and purposes, data existing only on archived backups or raw server logs is "completely wiped".

My intent and purpose in asking the question may not be part of "most", yet it's still valid.
Top Reasons Why Ruby on Rails Is Perfect for Your Startup
If the number of incidents doesn't go over a particular number it is probably way cheaper to let the police deal with it. It's how we handle most "people can't be assholes" rules, after all.
Not as cheap and easy as calling in a fake bomb threat. I Googled it and found a surprising number of articles about different incidents where airports were shut down this way... in several different cases, the articles identified the culprit as someone who was late to their flight and wanted to delay it! But that's a spur-of-the-moment decision, whereas bringing a drone requires planning. And other than that, what kind of motivation is there to disrupt an airport for disruption's sake? There's terrorism, but terrorists typically want to produce a body count, not just inconvenience.
The Chinese can be extremely picky about paperwork when it suits them. It suits them when an ass must be covered or when an adversary must be punished.

You can look at food safety, construction, land seizure, or fake products for examples of companies and people in authority being "flexible" on rules. Schools try to "work the rules" too, but they won't let a Canadian slide under the wire.

If, as another comment says, it is hydrogen peroxide then the catalyst is probably a variant of something already well known.

There are lots of catalysts, but as it says in the article that it has to be replaced at intervals of something like a year it also has to be cheap, so probably not platinum. There are organic catalysts too and it's not unreasonable to think that there are usable catalysts that would not be covered by a patent; if the process works at all that is.

This pickpocket example seems like symbolic? relations reasoning.

I think we need simulation of other agents outputs as primary tool for reasoning. That seems to be how intelligence emerged in evolution.

Something like this:
choose desired action > simulate other agents outputs based on future state after performing action > check reward for this action after simulating outputs of others > perform action or not > update all agents models and relations in "world" graph model

I think world could be modeled as simple graph and each agent as NN.

Then based on graph we could conduct symbolic reasoning and very fast learning (by updating edges)

I think these models need also need good physical simulator and good understanding of competitivness.

Is anyone aware of such trials of building AGI as I described?

Humans have natural language as big competetive adventage (easy way to compress parts of world graph and pass it to others - ambiguous. I think with aftificial machiness can be done more efficient).
Another advantage is knowledge storage - also easy to do with machiness.

If we can build insect AI building human AI should be easy.
> copyright terms should have decreased over the years. That's not exactly what happened, now is it?

I agree they should decrease and even said so in my post.

> It's completely laughable to assume human culture would cease to develop in the absence of copyright.

I didn't say it would and I don't believe it would either, but personally I believe if we got rid of all copyright laws tomorrow it would do more harm to smaller creatives than it would to the large corporate media outlets.

> anybody or any organisation who made even rudimentary changes to almost any kind information can limit the rights of every other human on the planet

If that is the case then you can take the source material they made changes to and base your work off that. Lets take Snow White as an example. I believe Disney currently still have copyright on their adaptation of the 19th century fairly tale (as the "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs" film came out in 1937). But as the original source material is in the public domain so you can take that original source material and adapt it for your own creation.

> it was expanded to corporations; penalties became more severe; exclusions were reduced; scope crept in the form of anti-circumvention measures; reach expanded by population growth and international cooperation.

These can be lowered (or expanded in the cause of exclusions) without having to remove the protection completely. I do believe the current system has flaws (I'm against the rules that prohibit users breaking DRM esp when it is for their own use, for being able to transcode media from one format to another for example). But as I said I am against removing all the protections outright.
Bigger drones are not that much more expensive though and probably won’t get attacked by a bird after a certain size.

While context is important, I’ve found that the context of who someone is personally is rarely beneficial when being objective. If anything, this approach is anti-ideology, as you are not taking ideological bias into account...and there’s way too much ideological bias in discussions these days. I think that’s what I meant by maturity.
I'm completely speculating, but I think when your lifespan is only 2 years anyway, you have almost no selective pressure for things like the kinds of diseases of aging that humans are now battling. So there are all kinds of things like cancer and dementia that mice's systems are much more naive to, and hence they are tend to get sick from "simple", easily treatable versions of these diseases. Meanwhile humans have evolved strong defenses for all the common / simple causes and are trying to fix the "hard" versions of all these things.

When I did secondary school "technology" which was the overseeing subject, we used BBC basic and 6502 assembly (some of us anyway!) to drive CNC equipment and Lego and spent half of the time with a soldering iron in hand and etching PCBs and stuff. In business studies, a wholly separate subject at the time, we learned how to use spreadsheets, word processors, write letters etc on RiscOS which had just rolled out about then.

I think the education now is abysmal in comparison. Why? A weird reason. None of the technology I learned about then is relevant now. 6502 assembly is dead, BBC BASIC is dead, RiscOS is dead, all the software packages are dead, China makes my PCBs etc. The education it gave me was a mental model of computing and how to approach problems with self sufficiency.

I feel a lot of technology platforms now, including .Net (something I have been using since day one), remove all self sufficiency from you and abstract so much away that it's harmful. I see many younger staff at companies I have worked for who's education has left them with so many gaps that self sufficient problem solving is impossible.

I actually like the bad design of the reddit mobile site, but not for a reason reddit will like.

I used to have the Reddit is Fun app installed, which works really well. The problem was that I spent way too much on time on reddit. When I realized this shortly after the new mobile page was released, I uninstalled the app and now use reddit from the browser. The experience is much worse, but this means that I don't open reddit all the time, and thus my time spent on it was reduced to a moderate amount.
Reddit desktop too is no stranger to dark patterns.

When they rolled out their "new" interface they provided a link to "old reddit.com", but clicking this took you back to the reddit home page, not the page you are on.

They fixed this for subreddits but it still happens for posts, so if you are at a post and click "old reddit" you don't get the same post in old reddit, you just lose the post. (which is available, just replacing www.reddit with old.reddit gets you there, and it did at one point work that way).

No doubt they have some metric to reduce people viewing in old.reddit.com but it's very hostile the way they have done this.

Another change toward the dark: On their sign up page they used to advertise that you could sign up without an email address so you could remain anonymous. I can no longer work out how to sign up without providing an email address. (Although they don't validate, I would rather not provide false information).
