>People getting killed by drunk drivers didn't volunteer for it either.

Its not a numbers game. Those are likely two different sets of people. You are saving some people by calculating in, that others get killed instead. It is different to for example, using an experimental treatment option on terminal patients. That would be, saving some of the dying patients but some might die regardless. The scenario is much more similar to the trolley problems cousin the transplant problem. Having someone else, uninvolved killed to save a larger group of people.

Seeing as the automatic emergency breaks were disabled, it seems the product wasnt good enough to detect false positives and was rushed by cutting the safety measure, accepting that putting it in live traffic the car would likely kill people unrelated to the research. It was a trade off between slower development and killing people.

I dont think you will find any ethics board that will green light you killing uninvolved people to save how ever many people. Of those i can think of who did that, quite a few ended up being wanted for crimes against humanity. We have ethics boards for a reason. Without them the ends can quickly justify the means.
Also, it assumes one right answer. That everything can be converted to a number and combined into a rank-able scale.

There's different perspectives and trade offs.

> That idea is what Google+ overcomplicated and underdelivered.

People keep saying things along those lines.

Based on the number of healthy non-it-specialist communities I saw (that still stay there as long as possible) I don't think that is the explanation, except if you mean the initial launch.

My explanation is a giant PR mistake where they tried to push a botched identity consolidation at the same time and with the same name as their social network.

Ironically they later came back and fixed the identity problems and usability wise it became one of the better ones IMO. (I'm talking about keeping different groups of people separate, not protecting against TLA agencies.)

In the end we should probably be happy: they could have owned social networking in addition to mail and search.
Is breaking them up really a priority? What benefit would that have that we couldn't achieve via properly taxing and regulating them in the first place?
I mean, I don't know that I'm fully qualified to psychoanalyze myself, but I was going through a bit of a Stallman-esque phase where I said "No Windows in my apartment!"

I realize it was petty, and there are some regrets in how I handled it, I just thought the anecdote was amusing.
Yup, thankfully DOTA 2 only sells cosmetic items. I was also pretty disappointed in all of the new tf2 weapons... especially the phlog
Yeah, I do get that and I do think that site demonstrates the point it's making really effectively too. My post was just about the engineer / hacker in me having a bit of fun.

It makes me think of this British sketch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eKFjWR7X5dU (it's also poking fun at a posh accent, with the pronunciation of year and Tanzania).
You're entitled to your own opinion, but not your own facts.

Starting wage in the US, 1931: $820/year[1]. Even without inflation adjustment, there are currently 21 countries with less than that as gross national income[2] (which is higher than starting wages)

On the $45 trillion, the original research is in book form, but try [3][4]

For the US stealing from South America, try reading up on the "Banana Wars"[5]. Far from the only thing, but it's well documented and somewhat more widely known.

As for running out of poverty, go for climate refugees - there's a good chance there'll be 1 billion of them in a few decades[6]. And, fwiw, this already plays a large part in the mediterranean migrant crisis right now.

Oh, and as for the idea that slavery doesn't exist: 35 million people, roughly[7]. And that's not accounting for wage slavery and debtors prisons that just happen to loan out workers.

Laissez-faire capitalism is far from an unmitigated good. In fact, except for the people holding the capital, it's an unmitigated disaster.

Most of the houses in South India (I'm from Tamil Nadu) forbid us wearing slipper or shoes inside the house. It's simply unnecessary as our houses are regularly swept and cleaned. I found it weird when I moved to North India where people find it usual to wear slipper inside. The plausible explanation I came up with is cold
The point is who says you are accomplished and your work has an impact? For coding,yes. Your github account showcases your accomplishments and it is open to everyone for verification. But for the rest, i mean the non programmer jobs in sales, marketing, retail,finance ,customer care you cannot have your accomplishments showcased in a verifiable manner. For any company or recruiter, a guy from a decent college with good enough grades gives far more comfort than a random guy with a blog.

> The author tries really hard to make this a woman's issue, but as far as I know the law doesn't lay out different rules for women specifically, just the less-earning spouses that take care of the children, so the same problems exist for husbands that stay at home.

The article doesn't claim that the law is intentionally discriminatory. It says that the law disincentivizes women to work, which can be true even if that is not the intent of the law. Stricter voter ID requirements don't facially discriminate between different groups, but they still have the effect of suppressing voting by minority groups because of how they interact with other social factors.

And the underlying claim is an uncontroversial one in economics: tax or welfare benefits that phase out with higher incomes disincentivize work. That's a generic truth about economics. It just happens to be a "woman's issue" in this context because (1) women happen to disproportionately have the lower paying jobs, because of gender norms; and (2) Abe's government is trying to get more women in the workforce to deal with Japan's crushing labor shortage.
I managed to get the emails under control (IIRC, there are only about two or three dozen different types you have to individually opt of, and they haven't been aggressive about adding new ones to that list), so I never have to check the app. The only think I want a notifications for are event invites, and that's pretty much what I have.

Nice neat separation. Make Amazon pay retail rates for AWS, too.
Well, that's kind of cheating; that's not using the "phone" to do any of the real work, you're offsetting the work to a server. I've used my iPhone for that stuff too, but that really doesn't require all the horsepower that modern iPhones give you.
Working as a chemist for a while, one tends to develop an explosion sense. Because it is never your stuff blowing up, but rather the postdoc behind you dumped his peroxide waste into the organic waste bottle or whatever and you're not looking at it.

There's a bunch of very subtle hisses,"stretches", gentle little clinks, "gas expansion into a closed container" that all seem to indicate an explosion is in progress.

Personally, I will pre-consciously teleport out the room when this happens. After leaving the field for more lucrative sofware stuff, it has embarrassed me a few times and saved my skin a few times (shoddy LP cylinder igniting, low pressure plastics getting attached to a soda stream carbonator etc)
Perhaps not directly, but if they're processing the information of EU data subjects on behalf of another company that does business in the EU, then that company will have to justify using this service, which is clearly not GDPR compliant.

I imagine the company using them will want to recover financial losses they incur after getting reamed by whatever european Data Protection Authority decides to go after them - especially if the culprits did promote themselves as being GDPR compliant.

The point of the EU's strong data protection rules is to have accountability - and it will fall on someone along the chain that caused the mess. Companies can't be allowed to completely disregard how they collect and store data and then go "Oops, haha sorry about that!" when the shit inevitably hits the fan, and just continue their business as usual.
By that logic, Australia is European, too :-)

Though I don't think they've won yet.

Realistically, the main reason that Israel is often counted with Europe is probably that they don't get along well with their neighbors. The implications for stuff like sports competitions could be nasty.

They are close though in market cap? They should be able to get into top 10.

Amazon, Google, Facebook, Tencent, Alibaba would be the huge ones. Then Salesforce, PayPal. Don’t know Alipay and Uber market cap space yet if they are internet companies.

I don’t know if you can include companies like Microsoft, Oracle, Cisco as internet companies. If you include Microsoft, still puts Booking into top 10.
Waiting lists happen with popular new books with physical copies as well. If you look for books that are a year or so old, or are something other than popular fiction (science or history for example), normally you can get a book immediately in my experience.
"Let's ride around the neighborhood and see who left all their belongings in their front yard" would be a closer example.

I think the general theory is that if we allow them to continue getting bigger and swallowing up all potential competitors, we’re basically saying these four or five companies will run everything, forever.
> I wonder if you can still post to Facebook by email. Having this automatically loop would make me happy.

Nope, and you can't reply to messages either (you used to). It's actually so bad that they don't even show you the message content in the email notifications, to better lure you back to their site.

Whatever engineer who worked to implementing those regressions was being an asshole.
Most of the houses in India* (I'm from Gujarat, have friends from Delhi, have relatives living in Mumbai.) If you find people wearing slippers inside, they are a separate pair of slippers only meant to be worn inside the house. We were taught that not removing your shoes/sandals when you visit someone's place is a sign of disrespect.
Great job finding that! You got me to look up another ad I remembered, along the same lines, but criticizing the inconvenience of checks:

Given the implementation, an interesting way to cheat is to use de Bruijn sequences [1]. B(2,5) is 00000100011001010011101011011111, so using this sequence means that you will cycle through all possible 5-grams, and thus make lots of money.

Ah, should have read more carefully -- it's using 5-grams as the base, not as the model, so really it's 6-grams, so we need B(2,6). We can try 0000001000011000101000111001001011001101001111010101110110111111

I think we should also consider that even if you do break up a large company like that, you'd need to make sure they don't pull an AT&T and start merging with each other to basically re-create their previous structure.

Looking at the home section it still looks like we have a while to go till our robot overlords can replace us around the home - but it's none the less interesting seeing bots like "Kuri" taking a non-conventional approach to how I considered house robots to head ( I.E Just follows you around - can play music etc it's more of a companion than anything else but still looks neat )

That is because there is literally no secret in large volume purchase and production in Supply Chain. You are talking about a product that will be sold in 100+ millions in following 12 months. Apple used to keep secrets very well because they were tiny. And there were way less Apple fans then. Now reporting news on Apple has become a big business in itself, so much Bloomberg decided they need a whole team just to report on technology and Apple related news. Apple Keynote was watched by 20M people in 2014, I wouldn't be surprise if the number are now over 50M, that rivals many of the most popular sport's top league live viewers.

But when the product is totally not in the radar of journalist, they came out of no where. AirPod for example, is one of best Apple innovation in recent years. It was simple, and it works. Try getting any older bluetooth Ear pieces works and I would throw them out of the windows within 5 min. it worked so well that everyone is using it, and they were selling like hotcakes. Since AirPod is now on radar, there is no escape in media trying to poke at people and supply chain.

Having said that, they could have done a much better job in software secrecy, since they control everything within it. And yet time and time again Apple seems to not put much care into protecting its secrecy.
The games you've listed are (with the exception of RDR2) ones which are able to be loss leaders. With Nintendo and Sony owning them, they're guaranteed exclusives for life and will therefore be key in shifting consoles.

As horrible as companies like Activision are these days, they don't have the same options in this regard.
Even if it were beneficial (argument in itself), Big Government is unequipped to handle the break-up of these companies in way that protects their value to consumers.
I remember back in the day watching videos of the Grasshopper going up and down and thinking impressive, but they're just going to disappear like 99% of other tech companies that do impressive demos.

I don't have any insight into the rationale behind the HQ2 search beyond what was reported in the media, but I've long thought that planning for a potential government-forced break up was part of it. A preemptive segregation of business units will help their case if/when this gains some steam.

Robotic Path Planning Using PRM and PRM
Yeah, some people there are really patient. You have to find the right balance. For me, I'm patient in the sense that I didn't get my PS4 until late in the generation, and probably won't get the PS5 on launch, but I also have some interest in industry trends and the spectacle of the latest-ish graphics. I also have limited time, so I'm not going to spend a ton of it digging through the game catalogues from last-gen systems (especially if the cream of the crop is available remastered for the current generation).

One interesting note particular to Nintendo is that other than the very limited "Nintendo Selects", their first party games basically never go on special. This means that if you want a deal on an older game, you have to buy second-hand physical, because the digital game is still $60. (Don't believe me? Twilight Princess HD, a 2016 remaster of a 2006 game, still retails for full price: https://www.nintendo.com/games/detail/the-legend-of-zelda-tw...) Anyway, the consequence of this is that in general you just want to buy physical regardless for a Nintendo system because the retained-value means you'll have the option to trade it in for much longer than you would any other game.

This is in contrast to the PlayStation store, where there are weekly Steam-like sales with loads of great games always available at the click of a button for sub-$20. So much so that there are entire websites and subreddits that track these things and trade recommendations around, see: https://www.reddit.com/r/PS4Deals/comments/axn3f7/ubisoft_pu...
I eat the same 3 meals a day, 5-6 days a week. I spent a couple years refining what meals give me the nutrition I need, with enough energy to code, and help me keep weight off. When I stop this routine, I put on weight fast, so I try to keep jobs that let me work from home and keep my routine. I will meal-prep 4 days at a time, consume those 4 days worth of meals, then have a day where I take my wife out to lunch, buy the groceries for the next 4 days, and skip dinner.

I fully recognize the non-typical nature of this routine, but if you find something that works for you, go with it.
I've seen plenty of web sites running 10+ year-old code written by someone's neigbor's kid with an ancient PHP handbook in hand. Luckily, deprecating the mysql extension in PHP in favor of the mysqli extension has broken a _lot_ of ancient code like that.
There is no need to "learn" their predictions (beyond a few at the beginning; edit: and the undetermined cases, I don't know if they choose randomly or deterministically), they are very transparent on how the system works:

"The program keeps a database of each possible combination of 5 presses, and two counters are stored under each entry — one is for every zero that follows the combination, and the other one is for all the ones that follow this combination. So every time you press a key, an entry in the database gets updated. To make a prediction, the program needs only to look up the entry corresponding to the last 5 presses and decide by looking at the counters which key press is more likely to follow."

Comparisons will be made to Microsoft and Internet Explorer but to me the really crucial part of this isn't market dominance in the "what app are you using" sense, it's data.

Facebook, Google and Amazon really do have an unprecedented amount of data on us. And keep vacuuming up more and more of it. Facebook should never have been allowed to buy WhatsApp (and maybe not Instagram though I'm less concerned about that one). Google should never have been allowed to buy DoubleClick.

Question is how you'd effectively roll that back now. I'm concerned that the government doesn't have enough people with the technical knowledge to really tackle the data question, but I'm still glad Warren is starting the conversation. And she's got some interesting ideas:

> Companies with an annual global revenue of $25 billion or more and that offer to the public an online marketplace, an exchange, or a platform for connecting third parties would be designated as “platform utilities.”

> These companies would be prohibited from owning both the platform utility and any participants on that platform. Platform utilities would be required to meet a standard of fair, reasonable, and nondiscriminatory dealing with users. Platform utilities would not be allowed to transfer or share data with third parties.

If you're working in a git repository then IMO the most appropriate search tool is simply `git grep`. I don't think there's any reason to use ripgrep, ag, ack etc in that situation. (Personally, if I'm working with text files, then I'm nearly always in a git repo.)
