what's crazy, is that one of the biggest leaks here is cell tower location tracking from triangulation. Like not the gps data that gets constantly sent to google/apple but the fact that there is a middle man that sells all that shit to whom ever. This has been a problem since before smart phones but it's mostly transparent to the user so people don't seem to be bothered by it.

When people see the GPS is on all the time or can look up their location data off their phone, it feels uncomfortable, but then they make un-encrypted phone calls through ma bell and let their location get sold.

People are really bad a privacy and key on these obvious, invasive feeling, technologies but then miss the bigger picture.
> which I have reasonable confidence in the device itself doing

A few horror stories related to Alex hint that it might not be doing a very good job. The grammar/syntax it uses to wake is much more complex than what Alias is proposing as a safe alternative. The most blatant example would be the Portland, OR couple that found the Alexa device making phone calls to people as they had a discussion near it.
It wasn't clear in the article. Is the idea that they were inflating play counts of songs related to the owners so that they could suppress the royalties paid to other artists, with the idea that they each get a piece of a pie based on number of plays?

but nobody uses it because "function composition" reads the other way and tends to be preferable i.e.

(g ∘ f)(x) = g (f(x)) // math

(g . f) x = g (f x) // haskell

g f x g f x // see how the g f x order always matches with the default application and composition notation.

you can mess with the order and "turn the order of application "inside-out" but then you have to switch modes from left-to-right and right-to-left more often. Or you can try to write in a style that prefers right-to-left.
Please clarify.
Those aren't Open Source licenses, so that's the same as the suggestion in the parent comment to make the software proprietary and charge for licenses.

> RSS declined because nobody wanted to put up content on 3rd party systems that didn't pay them.

Probably 2/3 of the RSS feeds I use come directly from the content producers, not from third party systems.
I see arguments like this a fair bit, and I'd like to explain why I'm not at all convinced.

Your position is entirely predicated on the assumption that we must protect Open Source companies above the freedom of users/developers, which does not fit my beliefs on what FOSS exists to do.

If MongoDB Corp goes away because everyone is using the AWS version, I would be sad to see an Open Source company end, and would feel bad for the people who lost their jobs, but I wouldn't rewrite the licenses to be Open Source Except Big Bad Cloud.

FOSS licenses exist to encode a somewhat overlapping set of moral philosophies, and if a particular company (or companies) aren't able to monetise around those philosophies, they have made a strategic mistake of some kind.

The response to this should not be for the VCs behind these companies to dilute the essence of FOSS until it can be used to trap users/platforms. That would lead us to a world where we have replaced the monopolies of proprietary software with monopsonies for "open source" companies, and I have zero interest in that world.
Interesting video. Some advice seems person-specific over age-specific, as in, I wouldn't be surprised to hear them give the same advice five years prior or hence.

One area where I think future advice can be most helpful is in preventing hard-to-reverse mistakes. 18F's data release for college completion rates, employment rates, etc in 2012 may have helped people avoid bad decisions[0]. Another example could be increased wariness of using a drug after hearing personal stories of people trying to quit. Using the recently shared visualization of related subreddits[1] and looking at the "/r/askdrugs" graph, one can see Kratom and quittingkratom, phenibut and quitting phenibut, benzodiazapines and quittingbenzos, opiates and quittingopiates.

> And the problem has almost never been users blindly revoking permissions, it’s blindly granting permissions.

If I wasn't clear, this is what I meant. Users ignore and accept permissions blindly on install.

> if Android did add a permission to allow an app to do whatever it wants

I'm not suggesting this at all. I'm suggesting that permissions systems, as granulated as they are, only make sense to developers and are mostly ignored by users.

> The problem the parent comment mention isn’t the method of asking for permission, it’s the fact there literally is not a permission.

I agree with the parent comment on this. Some permissions queries should be available on first use, rather than (or in addition to) on install.

Many times language is not the barrier. It is very likely it will take you less time to learn a new language than to learn a framework in a familiar language.

Personally, I found PHP is the easiest to get into web development. You do not have to use MVC or any framework at all. For other languages (python, js), web development almost always requires using a framework, which can take more time to learn than learn the PHP language. And PHP is also easier for hosting.

The beefy computer requirements are really just the result of needing to invent pie-in-the-sky specifications for the website, and wanting to avoid any bottlenecks when running at high load. Remember, most of the current customers are trying to actively communicate with an enormous number of contacts.

The truth is that the product does not actually need much RAM, and storage is a direct function of the number of conversations and messages you're handling with the product. The main bottleneck is really just I/O for the databases. For the use cases of everyone here, it absolutely could run on an RPi. Easily.
There is a lot of value in distilling some amorphous concept or unclear practice into a simple rule that makes sense and frames it in a template, making it easy to both recognize and implement.
Nope. The Amazon Echo uses an array of seven microphones to isolate speech from background noise. There's no way that this device can pass through accurate spatial information, which will inevitably degrade speech and wake word recognition in noisy or reverberant environments.
> That's not enough for me. I often encounter people building complex systems message queuing, despite failures being rare, retries being cheap and fast, and the hardware already being resilient to load.

I'm a bit familiar with Azure Queues and Azure functions and I'll try to provide some more context here. But short answer: Using Azure Queues here actually makes things less complicated.

An Azure function (or any function) doesn't do much in isolation. Someone has to call it, so you've got to figure out: who's calling this function, when are they calling it, and what context do they have at call-time?

General purpose functions allow a wide range of possibilities to the above questions, and it's a lot easier to shoot yourself in the foot. So many people implement their own queue-like functionality that Azure decided to abstract it away into a general purpose model that roughly says: This function is called whenever there are unprocessed items remaining in the queue, and only information that's in the queue is passed to the function.

When you buy into that model, you get a whole bunch of stuff done for you: They've added common functionality like retry logic, expiry of queue items, security/permissions/tokens and https endpoints, logging that provides visibility into failures.

It's eliminated a lot of boilerplate code and it's also an architectural model that's easily understood. I'm a big fan myself.

[also, disclaimer, I'm an MS employee, but I don't work for Azure]
Pre-Google search engines were pretty hit or miss, you were better off finding a relevant webring and clicking 'next' until you found a page that had what you wanted. I used Infoseek, WebCrawler when it would load, ditched Infoseek for Lycos, ditched Lycos for Excite. I used AltaVista semi-frequently from 95 up to 2000 or 2001 when I'd almost entirely switched to Google. I'm fairly certain I've used Yahoo to search EXCLUSIVELY for when I was checking search rankings for my own page and never for anything else.

I remember the first time I saw a video clip, the first time I saw a gif, the first time I saw a still image on a website.

I remember having to redial multiple times to get connected during high demand times.

I remember IRC (still use it daily).

I remember MUDs (still play one weekly, that I played starting in 97 or 98 and it still has 10-15 people on whenever I log on).

I remember the dial-up handshake, in fact I recorded it and it has been my ringtone since 2004.
> the device would be "lit up" constantly (another _hardware_ thing)

Unless the mic and lights are somehow wired together (they aren't), then this is really just more software which can be trivially updated away.
There is a LOT of motivated reasoning in here. What method of experimentation are you proposing where if the first attempt at validating a hypothesis fails, you simply quit instead of tweaking the hypothesis and trying again?

The hoax proved that you do not need more than a couple weeks of training to become a published author in these journals. I do not expect that these authors could, without any training or expertise, revise-and-submit a half dozen papers to be published in physics or chemistry. That's significant, whether you like it or not.

> What's to stop me just moving somewhere cheaper after I get the remote job tired to location?

Nothing, assuming I can find other people with the similar quality as you, but significantly cheaper because they live in lower cost of living area, why would I not replace you ?
It is shocking how much of this advice assumes that the world will be a similar place even a few years from now.

There is a constant set of themes, for each of the years I scanned but especially my age which is 23, to travel, invest for the future, and start businesses and I am increasingly skeptical of each.

I am just starting out, and I am here because I used to think that my future involved travel and startups, but recent news has made it clear to me that travel is one of the human obsessions that is destroying this world and that the future will not happen: http://nymag.com/intelligencer/2017/07/climate-change-earth-...

My advice, for all age groups, is to enjoy what you have now and don't have kids- the world even 10-20 years from now isn't one worth living in.
> If healthcare was a human right, you should be able to describe how you enforce that right, especially when someone infringes upon that right, such as a physician who refuses to provide services requested by a patient.

Why is this a problem for healthcare, but not, say, voting (which requires people to staff the polling places etc.), or the right to a jury trial (which requires judges, baliffs, etc. as well as the jurors)?
> Trusting that all of these assumptions hold over time is hard.

This is the big point. You are not only trusting that the company as it is today is doing the right thing, but that the company will continue to do the right thing for so long as the device is in your house - and that they will do the right thing in perpetuity with your data (including if/when they sell the company down the road).
The 2600 actually did have a BASIC interpreter cartridge available. It was both an incredible engineering feat (interpreter and IDE in 4K ROM and 64 bytes of RAM) and completely useless (because your program only had the other 64 bytes of RAM).
The way you structure matches my weaknesses nicely (such as use momentum from smaller tasks), thanks for sharing.
If you're just trying to get good candidates for salaries below the Bay area rates, basically pick any 2nd tier city in the US. It may still be more expensive than France/Germany etc, but there's no language barrier, closer time zones, similar holidays, better labor laws (for the employer), etc. In my personal opinion the cost difference doesn't make up for those hurdles until you get much cheaper salaries like India, China, Brazil, etc. Obviously individual circumstances apply.

So you need to consider this a very large equation, and it involves your value to the company compared to their value to you.

So let's look at the right side: their value to you. Do you need the money? Do you have a family to support? Can you find another job quickly in {your city here}, or are you senior and need more time? If you quit, can you coast on savings and credit until you find something else? Do you think it's easier to find a job in your market while employed or unemployed? If you search while working, can you pull it off without tipping off your coworkers?

These things will determine how quickly you can bail and find new work if you decide you don't want this job.

Now let's look at left side. If you say no, can the company replace you quickly? Can the job be handed to the guy in the next cube, marking you as redundant? Do you have some special business knowledge and/or talent that can't be replaced quickly?

(An aside: Remember, ABOVE ALL, that everyone is replaceable given enough money and time so you should be continuously aware of what value your company places on you. That is a career skill you need forever, so learn it quickly. Know when it's time to jump and when it's time to negotiate for better treatment.)

Now compute the two sides out (it's never a perfect equality) and play the scenario in your head. You can certainly say no and the company can fire you on the spot or perhaps slowly work on replacing you without telling you. This is the absolute worst case for you. Being fired makes life a lot harder going forward and takes a long time to recover from.

Perhaps the company is more sympathetic and will reconsider their order and find something different for you to work on.

But don't count on it. Go with the worst-case scenario and think it through. We've all had assignments we don't want to do, it comes with the business. Don't think if you move to a new company it won't happen again. Sometimes you need to excel on sucky gruntwork projects to get trusted with the shiny nice and fun ones, especially if you are young and/or new to the company. Perhaps having extensive experience on the frontend will supremely qualify you for the backend work later.

We used to call this "paying your dues".

Good luck.
That is so interesting, what a cool fix.
I agree.

By the way, you mention high impedance and metastabilty. Knowing next to nothing about the PlayStation, are those concepts relevant for emulation there for some reason? For other platforms I think that’s an abstraction layer that even accurate emulators rarely hit (though I might be wrong). Is there something special on the PlayStation?
This reminds me of a time when I had become jaded as a camera store employee. I got in the habit of telling people that the cameras they were hoping to buy were essentially landfill filler. This website would have been a useful resource for confirming that point.

Oddly, it was an effect tool for up-selling cameras. The higher end cameras tended to last slightly longer before getting binned.
Hence the "US market isn't working" part. None of that is new and it all explains perfectly why the price listings are useless. Which is why suggesting a criminal conspiracy to evade the price listing law is ridiculous.

JSON won't resolve that issue for podcasts that you've subscribed to that don't publish anymore. That's either a cache issue from a static resource or a service issue that doesn't support the cache response.

Also, the issue with the size of the rss feed:

It all comes down to how the settings are set. Is it set to full syndication of the article, or is it summaries. Either way, JSON won't solve that issue.

JSON isn't going to fix your issue with non-standard attachments to the articles. It's going to make it worse.
Even the Chinese phone manufacturers rely on American software (Android), even if Google gives that away.

If China refused to assemble iPhones for Apple, that assembly could easily be shifted somewhere else: the components are mostly not from China and even the machinery used to assemble the iPhones is mostly German. Apple/Foxconn do it in China because it is the best deal ATM, and shift iPhone assembly around as needed easily (eg iPhones are assembled in Brazil, and will be in India to get around tariffs).
This one requires a little lateral thinking. Why not get rid of report cards, or grades, altogether? The use of online platforms where teachers are expected to enter grades in real time sounds like a massive burden on the teachers, not to mention a privacy/security risk. Terrible.
Once you put them into a particular coordinate basis, I'm pretty sure tensor algebra is just operation on slices of arrays. The magic happens when you change bases.

Its kinda like how a matrix is "just" a rectangular 2D array of numbers in a particular basis.

Not that this helps anyone sleep easier, but imagine in today's age... a whistleblower -- perhaps one of the thousands of software devs working on one of these -- leaked proof that these devices are recording everything to re-market and profit, without permission...

The resulting backlash and legal ramifications would be so huge it just wouldn't be worth it. It wouldn't just take an insane and stupid CEO to do that, but also thousands of other tech/adops employees who'd have to be like, "yea this is a great idea."
Android is an interesting case. AOSP is open source, and the OS allows for services that you expect from a smart phone to take any implementation.

Google keeps control by holding on to the best implementation of services, as well as controlling the ecosystem with developer services.

Amazon has shown that Android is still an open platform but the work involved to overthrow Google would be a massive undertaking.
How about upvoting by age group. For example take advice from a 40 yo to a 20 yo, the 20 yos may not upvote but many other 40 yos may upvote the advice.

>We've got a winner. Tensors "do" something; they're functions.

And a neural network is just a stack of linear transforms (the "tensors") and nonlinear transforms (the activations). So in a lot of cases, these "tensors" do do something. Granted the abstraction for storing the active tensors is also a great abstraction for storing high-dimensional data (like a 128x128x4x60 2-second video).

In my experience, most publishers just don't include the full series of historic episodes, but only the last 10/20/100/...

This makes it even worse because now the client is responsible for syncing (an episode might have been deleted forever or just fallen out of the top-N list by recency).
