Right. As long as the people sending in complaints is a (much, much) smaller problem than recaptcha solves, they'll continue using it.
From an environmental and ethical standpoint, I find it quite abhorrent how unrepairable these machines are. As iFixit said, this would be much less of an issue if the display cable could actually be changed.
Yeah, I noticed that if I want to be perceived as good in x I often have to pretend that I am bad at y.

In reality, you can be good at both and like both and switch between them. You might have a preference and still be reasonably good at both. You might decide one is weakness and put effort into learning it overcoming initial dislike.
By the way, to get a trial going, you only have to raise reasonable doubt. Getting beyond reasonable doubt is the problem.

Good. Because, pardon the colorful language, fuck those bioethicist Luddites.

From a moral standpoint it's inconceivable that we aren't proceeding at full speed to solve inherited diseases.

There's no ethical hand wringing over this. (In many cases) We know what the mutation is. We know what a healthy gene is. We're on the cusp of being able to change the former into the latter.

Why are we still giving column inches to people saying "This is really disturbing"?

There's a counterpoint about genetic diversity and the dangers of monoculture, but that isn't what's being brought up. It's always 'This is new and scary, and so we should spend more time studying the implications before doing it.'
Yes, we have.

I think the sex is just so powerful for people that they need others to be regulated so that they themselves may be regulated. I find it striking when people campaign vigorously against sex education or contraception -- instruments of sexual liberty.
> It's impossible to ban adult content in a cost effective way without also banning a large amount of legitimate art.

Are you saying that adult content is not legitimate art?

If so, I think you may be part of the problem, not the solution. English is not my first language, so please correct me if I am wrong.

By adult content, most of us think "porn". But as has been said, there's also violence and other things that some culture do not want their children exposed to.

There's no way to ban nudity or other things one may dislike without having to put some kind of filters in place. And once those filters are in place, they are abused to filter legitimate content. Every. Single. Time.

We have to rely on education, the best filter is in our brains.
That's the cost to real freedom of speech.
I am guessing the targeting can be done better. The problem is, there is more products supply than eyes demand. As a result, the companies have to push down the throat products, even if they don’t match users' preferences.
>Last time I checked, this wasn‘t even primarily about ad money.

from what I know, tumlbr was acquired by yahoo, and yahoo was acquired by verizon, so now verizon tries to make some money on tumblr. sooo it is about ad money. and of course having child pron is bad for your business.
Yeah honestly the fact that Amtrak doesn't run anywhere near "high speed" isn't its biggest problem. Just updating the rolling stock and on-board amenities would be huge.
I've confirmed this happens in Australia. Except it's zero results, not one.
The real "original sin" of the free internet is the curation of the experience of using neutral information systems to drive engagement and skew users decisions away from their own interest towards the commercial interest of the web sites. Routine deception and manipulation mean that there are no clear lines or defensible moats of freedom. There is no rule of law or communal standard of fairness on the internet. This article fogs that truth.

When ever I turn off the filters on my search engines explicit content is served instantly. I think that the censorship that the author is referring to is either self imposed, imposed by commercial decisions (tumblr) or due to legal constraints (child porn, rape, worse things than that).

Consensual sex work is mentioned, my perception is that the vast majority of sex workers are not doing it because of free choice, but rather because of exploitation and pressure. Drug and alcohol addiction as well as a history of abuse are often cited as drivers, and I hear of no stories where people have found happy and fulfilled lives as prostitutes. The "women speaking truth" can only every have authentic voices if they are speaking from positions of power and security; I do not believe that this is the case for prostitutes anywhere. The illegality of prostitution is not because people are prudes, it is because prostitutes are routinely destroyed by their work.

This is exactly the position I take. I love Macbook Pros and I'll buy nothing else as far as laptops go. The integration of MacOS, the hardware, and the rest of the Apple ecosystem is hard to beat in many ways.

I can afford them, they're extremely reliable, high quality and most of the issues people complain about are overblown (I don't mind the Touch Bar at all, and the keyboard is just fine - you get used to it).

Is it really "people on it", or is it just the ad-based business model? Sure, mass market means lowest common denominator, but people generally don't mind weirdness as long as it doesn't force itself on them. I feel most cases of censorship or self-censorship of weirdness on the media has always something to do with some advertiser not wanting their ads associated with weirdness.

They make money investing the float (the money they have received but not yet paid out).
Are you just going to keep talking about advertising? Because it's not about advertising.

I’m inclined to view this almost as a basic income type situation.

Much can be automated away, but what do we end up if we do that today?
We need to find meaning in life other than money for a whole bunch of non-nerds.
Agree. And the next Google which is born after, say 15 years, will be a vastly different company.
Insurance companies make money by investing the premiums. It's possible for an insurance company to make a profit from investment even if they had unprofitable underwriting. From Warren Buffet:

> Insurers receive premiums upfront and pay claims later. ... This collect-now, pay-later model leaves us holding large sums -- money we call "float" -- that will eventually go to others. Meanwhile, we get to invest this float for Berkshire's benefit. ...

> If premiums exceed the total of expenses and eventual losses, we register an underwriting profit that adds to the investment income produced from the float. This combination allows us to enjoy the use of free money -- and, better yet, get paid for holding it. Alas, the hope of this happy result attracts intense competition, so vigorous in most years as to cause the P/C industry as a whole to operate at a significant underwriting loss. This loss, in effect, is what the industry pays to hold its float. Usually this cost is fairly low, but in some catastrophe-ridden years the cost from underwriting losses more than eats up the income derived from use of float. ...
That's what I'm saying. But it only tells you that it is broken, not why. Users don't use tests, tests are for the developers.
What a facile response. EVERY complaint is "Fuck! The world does not work the way I want". That is the nature of complaint. It doesn't mean it's pointless to ever complain. One can reasonably desire and agitate for the world to work differently than it does.
I wonder if you can get insurance against insurance companies not paying out?
I do the exact same thing with oddball compilation tasks like this, such as compiling a Latex document or batch-processing pictures.

I also use it to run code-formatters / static analysis tools while programming, sometimes with an secondary Makefile that has a name like 'maintainer.mk'.
Yes, you can save money if you are willing to live in a dystopia, crammed in like sardines. The quality-of-life comparison is not that complicated.
> What's interesting to me is how Americans don't bat an eye on all the violence exposed in movies, music and games, but then become prudish when it comes to sex.

I think one reason is that violence is much easier to fake than sex.
> oversaw the growth of Chrome browser from minor player to the dominant position it has today. And he also oversaw Android's growth

Couple of personal observations-

Would it have been same if Chrome was not advertised on every google property and google intentionally breaking google properties on competitor browsers?

Also there was really no competition for android.

But not sure if the these two products were not world class then they would have worked.
I think as an adult, we should have the right not to be prohibited.

I met Ted while trying to find a copy of the book and when he told me he had a bunch in storage, I volunteered to help sell the rest. 100% sales go to him.

I haven't read the Microsoft edition yet but I know Ted hates what they did with his book.
I'm guessing, but one consideration may be that they're afraid of "moral panic" from their non-porn-watching customer segment.

The situation is ridiculous, though. Plenty of companies, including Pepsi and other FMCG brands, car manufacturers, tobacco manufacturers, etc. advertise themselves with clips so sexualized they're borderline pornographic. The market doesn't seem to mind. Avoidance of porn seems hypocritical.
Are you thinking that if a porn-averse brand starts advertising on porno, then that brand could become associated with qualities of the spywares and phisheries which currently dominate porn adviertising?

The nice thing about lookin at porn on tumblr was that there were no shady spam ads (nothing as shady as ad-supported porn sites). I'm sure if the porn-phobic brands continued to pull their ads the shady click farmers would have moved in to fill the vacuum. Perhaps tumblr would never need shady spam ads if more legitimate businesses would run ads on porn. Just thinking out loud here. Not a doctor or anything.
It's not just pornography. Companies also want to avoid "extremist" content, which has been an issue for YouTube. Some advertisers also want to avoid being on medical articles and the like.

Advertisers concerned about their brand are going to avoid anything they fear will damage the brand image.

IMHO a better way would be:

- A non-trivial take-home exercise and give them a week or two to complete. This should have higher weight on the decision instead of the "Google doc coding" as most likely that's the type of code they'll be shipping to production.

- Use the onsite interviews to improve upon the exercise and/or to get into the nitty gritty details, and also to make sure this is the type of person people would enjoy working with.

- Allow candidates to run the code and to look things up (even Einstein didn't remember how to do long division, he looked it up).

- Give people the benefit of the doubt and assume they are not liars or thieves. If you end up having certain doubts, ask yourself why you have those doubts and take appropriate steps to remove doubts.

And let's be real. Do you think someone with X years of experience having worked at multiple companies (small and big corps) was hired because they couldn't code?

The United States is quite a violent place and it is reflected in its media. With multiple wars on going and a huge weapons industry people have become to accept it as normal. Prison rape is accepted as something that just happens and police across the nation are armed like military.
Firstly it needs to move beyond an US centric market.
SE at Upflow here !
I've been working there since the very beginning, and it's been absolutely fantastic. We have already changed the way a bunch of companies get paid, and helped them get huge sums of money back to run their business, and that feels great.

As for the work atmosphere, it strikes a great balance between the exhilarating ride of launching a startup and the calm and self-care required to be in it for the long run :)

I always thought part of the point of how Google is structured was to prevent people from working for the competition. Why have 5 chat apps? Because 5 teams working on a chat app that will get cancelled in two years is better than all those people working on Ads for Facebook right now.

Probably not true but I did really wonder at times. Walking past people waiting in line for 30 minutes to get food when I would just grab a PB&J. Seeing people playing ping pong and video games, the same people every day, all day, as I walked between meetings. I eventually felt like I was Doing It Wrong.
I upvoted this comment as there's a lot of truth to that, plus its the only comment with the obligatory word "thoughtful" on this thread, but to be fair, to find the person who introduced "McKinsey drones" to Google, look no further than Eric Schmidt himself, under whom they spread, and he attributes the McKinsey invasion to Shona Brown.

Arguably they may have been key to scaling the company. We never know what the company would have been otherwise as we can't rewind the tape and change history. Could have been a lot more visionary and inspiring. Could have also been much smaller and narrower without Eric and McKinsey functions.
I can see that the dependency injection annotations can be complex for people not experienced with the whole Spring/IoC/DI setup. I have some rules and general guidelines I use for keeping them in check which I can explain in about 10minutes (and have done to team members in a few companies)

Honestly, I prefer to debug with annotations and a debugger over a manually coded configuration class with hundreds of lines of wiring components together.

And for removing the other annotations: Why should I decouple apidocs from my code? They are litterally annotating the source code so it makes sense to have them close.

Stuff like the validators and JSON properties and configuration also makes sense to have them close to the fields that they are about instead of in a separate JsonSerializer class or whatever.

Looking forward to scaling things up beyond teeth, earphones and jewelry. All very promising though, and if the pixilization is solved that is excellent (one of the foundrys here invested in additive printing systems about a year ago, which then need the artist or laborers to resurface with wax before casting). I imagine cost will certainly be a factor for larger systems (say pieces 20-60cm height), both machinery and resins, because the profit margins are very tight until you hit the big time. Is the waste castable wax resin reusable?
Arrggghhh:

> There are other affordable alternatives out there where developers have given more consideration to those issues.

They are being bolted on static analysis tools.

So yeah, optional tooling quite often doesn't get used and is imperfect.

On the other hand, many will not move if they can get 80% there, while keeping their tooling and libraries.
It is calculated. Publications like the Daily Mail are famous for trying to come up with the most outrageous headline (however distorted in meaning) about anything - and admittedly, they‘ve become really good at it.
Arguably, Google's best CEO was Eric Schmidt. He's the one that turned Google from a startup into an awesome tech company. But nobody ever accused him of having no vision. That's because vision was not his role. That role was for both founders who acted in a duo CTO role.

Looking at Google today, they have a CEO but no CTO and the founders seem to be not involved in day to day strategy of Google. So, the real problem is that their current CEO is not filling the CTO boots very well and that's a problem because there is no CTO. It's showing. Google's strategy is fine from a financial point of view but less so from a technical point of view.

A bit like MS under Balmer. In fact, Google is starting to act a lot like MS a decade ago; including being arrogant, increasingly isolated, and somewhat tone deaf. I like them a lot less than 10 years ago. Of course Balmer added a whole other level of surreal to the mix that is thankfully missing here. Looking at MS today, they turned things around quite a bit and their current CEO is in an entirely different league than Google's CEO. That's the problem they need to fix. He's alright but not great. They need great. Pichar isn't. That's what those numbers are saying.
