If you work at Facebook these days, people don’t like you very much at the bar, the wedding or on the train. That you earn a lot doesn’t really help you when everyone dislikes you.

“You’re an asshole.”

“No, I’m right, I earn more than you.”

I’m not a Facebook employee, but: I doubt it? The vast majority of people have no problem with Facebook or what it does. People with a big focus on privacy don’t like it, but the existence of Facebook as a profitable enterprise is proof that there are plenty of people outside this set.

I think the big issue that is often swept under the rug here are that different people have different morals, especially at the margins. Sure, almost everyone agrees on murder. But there are legitimate disagreements in the privacy space, especially when no concrete harm has been demonstrated.

For example, my personal moral stance on privacy is that, if someone is voluntarily using a platform, and that platform had terms that include some items which would tend to reduce the person’s privacy, that’s fine. As long as there is responsible disclosure, adults should be free to use or not use services as they see fit.
Likely. Kitchen ovens and small ovens in general do not have the accuracy required to reflow. As you say, they will cycle between full power and no power and rely on the large oven hysteresis to get an average temperature which is OK for cooking, but can be easily off by 10+C at times, even if ventilated.

One solution is to wrap the item in something which acts as a dampener. A couple of layers of crumpled tinfoil will help.

Note that you definitely can reflow in a low-end kitchen oven with the appropriate changes ;). I built two small ovens for reflowing. Search for "arduino reflow" for some pointers.
Isn't there supposed to be an avenue of punishment for knowingly submitting false dmca claims?

I am 90% this means nothing and I disagree this won't affect big companies and will only affect small startups like some of the other comments here.

The law basically says that the company has to try it's best to prevent copyrighted material. If you're a small company, you can put together some simple algorithm and claim that's all you can really do. Big shots like youtube have the capital to be proactive and pay for things like real people to monitor claims. They're at a bigger risk for not doing enough.

Either way, the bar would be high enough that I don't think anyone is really going to be affected by this.
It was an exaggeration, but the comment's underlying point is spot on: the "engineering" that we do doesn't hold up in terms of rigor or cleverness that AE and other related engineering disciplines exhibit.
You've got multiple questions going on here:

- How internally hosted content is enforced

- How externally hosted content is enforced

- Would a VPN would help

.

Internally operated content: Fines to the company distributing the content (e.g. Google operates in the EU and if YouTube was not found to be compliant they would be fined).

Externally operated content: Not really sure, the EU doesn't have a "great firewall".

Would a VPN help: Using a VPN to upload your video to YouTube as if you were Canadian will not change that YouTube cannot show illegal content in the EU. The question posed by the law isn't "who uploaded it" it's "what is in it". Using a VPN to view videos as if you were Canadian would naturally allow you to see things blocked in the EU.
Has anyone watched Louis Rossman's video series on this topic? It's pretty funny. He thinks oven reflows are a bad idea.

What I read in this (or some other) account is that Twitter is the only party that can sue over a false DMCA claim, which they probably won't do.

We could also eliminate farm technology and bring back all those farm jobs. 99% of us could work the fields again, and there'd never be a jobs shortage again.
> an attitude of explicitly asking for social expectations vs intuiting them through social context

Formalizing rules isn't an attitude of explicitly asking them, but an attitude of explicitly telling them.

When you ask for them, there's fluidity into them, it's a communication, they can change when you add someone. Once it's formal, they tends to be less fluid and more forced toward any new person.

Breed specific health issues could indeed be linked to wanting pure breeds instead of a mixed breed.

In the UK we have so many staffordshire bull terriers in kennels, or abandoned, they get 24 hours when caught, and then euthanised if not claimed by owners or a rescue, in my opinion it is a product of both irresponsible breeders and irresponsible owners.

We are currently fostering a staffie, he is the sweetest thing, a little snugglemonster, but he is one of the lucky ones, most don't survive the 24 hours.
While the topic interests me greatly I think the article falls in a trap. One I found myself in for a number of years: getting lost in details.

Given a certain situation where a company is acting in what you perceive as being a non ethical way there is absolutely zero chance of you finding out the causes, never mind solutions. Even for a "small" 400 people company there are so many variables, interconnections, processes, etc, that a human mind cannot create a reasonable working model and then debug it even if all the cards are on the table facing up. Which they are not.

Instead what I think works is looking at the big picture: do you agree with the end result? Is the service/product of decent quality, are customers happy, are they being taken advantage of, are workers ok, etc. If not, the same beast will eat you too and any thought of changing it is pure fantasy.

This way of thinking too has obvious problems. If you apply it to government departments for example you would quickly leave only the cynics there making it worse. In some cases you have to work from within. But in many cases draining the brains from a tech company will kill it fast enough.

But an even deeper problem seems to me that modern people are quire amoral. They keep buying/using service/product or work for a company if it benefits them financially while complaining in small talk discussions.
the 'smart gun' is a stupid fucking idea born of idealism and fundamental misunderstanding of defense

I’m familiar with this from a couple of interests, too. One is trying to decarboxylate cannabis to prepare it to make edible goods. You want to hold it under 250° for a period of time, and the quality of the temperature controller and other factors about your oven or toaster oven do make a big difference. Overheating can ruin it fairly easily, and underheating fails to produce full potency.
Also we run into this in a glassblowing. One wants borosilicate items to rest in the kiln somewhere between 1040 and 1100 F (~600C). The simplest kilns have a infinite switch, same as an electric range. With attention and experience, it’s possible to make it steadily hold a temperature. More common these days is a digital controller. The simplest is something like a Fuji PXR3. However, just having a digital controller does not ensure that your kiln stays at the target temperature. The controller must be calibrated properly for the oven size, elements and insulation. In most kilns elements are either on all the way or off, so controllers use a relay to control power. The more sophisticated ones do this very quickly, like flickering. Typical controllers do cycles of a few seconds. If the controller is not calibrated properly, which is common in glass studios, the kiln will overshoot or undershoot the target temperature repeatedly by up to 50°. It’s complicated by the fact that these kilns sometimes have doors that remain partially open, and the amount of mass of glass inside affects the thermal characteristics, too.

For a very precise small oven, the ones that they make for enamel or firing dental porcelain are pretty good.
Amazon is trying to soften its image as regulatory scrutiny of Big Tech grows
I'm not in favor of keeping jobs around just for the sake of keeping people employed. I am in favor of doing whatever it takes to financially support people whose jobs are being replaced by automation while they seek new work, though. Mindless retail jobs are not a career with a future in general, no matter how much you try and hold the tides back. Checking groceries is just absolutely tedious, soul destroying work and nobody should be forced to do it to make a living.

I also don't have a very good opinion of grocery store unions, because by the time I was working at the grocery store, the union had caved repeatedly on contracts for new employees, so that the people who had been working there for decades had locked in all the best hours, and full time work and great insurance and a pension, while all the new employees were held to part-time hours with shit benefits and the worst hours, with absolutely no chance of ever moving to full time. This wasn't a case where eventually you'd have seniority and move up to the better contract. You were locked into your tier forever once you were hired.

(I say this as someone who spent several years working as a grocery clerk, checking groceries and stocking shelves, and whose father and grandfather both spent their entire careers working at grocery stores.)

It seems to be that the repercussions of filing frivolous DMCA takedown notices isn't sufficient. Proof: there's too many instances of abuses like this. What's more, the existing legislation doesn't compensate the real victims- those who posted the content. In short, the law is designed for a different time.

Simple, minimal changes are what's needed. Raise the cost of filing invalid DMCAs to a level high enough that companies like Starz are deterred from doing so. And share the compensation with the content creators who are affected, not just the platforms that receive the invalid notices.

I don't think we'll ever be able to get rid of the darned things, so we might as well push for DMCAs to at least be closer to fair.
“If we can set it up so you can’t unlock your phone unless you’ve got the right fingerprint,” he asked in 2016, “why can’t we do the same thing for our guns?”

I was thinking he could just get a few devs to copy where he worked at. He probably has enough domain expertise to do so and he could use the other app as a refence.
It's difficult to explain to people that manual labour is just going to go away, and educating the populace is the only way to be employable in the future.

I am curious what kind of society this will lead to - will it mean an increase in overall education or will it be a race to the bottom where only the most impractical work that robots can't do, is reserved for those who have no knowledge skills?

Though, my first job was in a kitchen while I was studying, as I didn't yet have the skills to get an knowledge job. I was lucky to have government support back then however, so while I was at the threshold of just paying rent/food and needed that job back then, it wouldn't have needed much more from the public coffers so I could have spent those manual-labour hours studying.

Edit: I forgot about the crossover of skilled labour: plumbers, electricians, some kinds of farm work, others I haven't considered. I guess I just see those are getting more and more specialised and need less labour rather than none.
And of course, the problem is, even if New Jersey fully repealed the law, it still leaves the demonstrated goal behind: That should the technology become available, liberal lawmakers will seek to outlaw traditional firearms. Why would any gun manufacturer want to jump on this trend?
The Luddite perspective: Anyone using automation is "stealing a job from someone who needs it".

Never mind the fact that automation is why we have such wealth and plenty, and why you can spend your time writing Luddite blog posts, instead of hoeing the back forty, desperately hoping for a good harvest, so your family doesn't have to starve this winter.

Sure, the people who used to work as cashiers will have to find something else to do. But the upside, for everyone, is that it becomes cheaper to run a supermarket, and thus competition can give us even cheaper groceries.
It could be both: that the top-ranked recipes are content-dense with no filler, but the recipe space is just so HUGE so anyone else in the long tail HAS to intro their recipe with an entire article in order to even have a chance at breaking through.

I think a heat gun would + tweezers would probably be sufficient enough, however, he'll probably need to reference ifixit images to figure out where things need to go.

I think it's a bit too difficult to hold a heat gun, an infrared thermometer, a set of tweezers and flux, so I would just get a feel by testing it out with some other busted PCB.

Chrome's rip / tear tab support was unmatched when it came out. IIRC Firefox would reload the page, and was generally quite slow.

The search features were brand spanking new too. Firefox had a search bar, but the behavior of Chrome is what later prompted Mozilla to create the omnibar function.

The PDF and Flash built in were major features at the time because they avoided needing to install awful and exploitable third party components.

There are a lot of benefits to lifting small amounts, just look at the huge number of physical trainers who add small weights to aerobic exercise routines, or runners who add ankle weights, etc. There is a ton of material out there for why it's beneficial that I won't bother getting into it all. Using small weights will add measurable difficulty to your workout, which is great if you start to plateau.

That being said, it's not the most effective way to achieve certain desirable results, like optional strength or muscle mass gain. However, OP wants to lose weight in a healthy way and has a health condition that should be taken into account, and adding small weights to an aerobic exercise program is a fantastic way to increase calorie burn and build a little strength at the same time.
Reminds me of a haiku i wrote a long while ago:

Movement and measure

How to discern life through time

Everything is change

—-

Time and the inherent math of the universe is amazing to think upon, especially when you look back upon the wisdom of ancient humans who were able to perceive cycles of the stars that were many thousands of years long whilst human conscious life is so fleetingly short.

Its interesting that we do not try to ask HOW civilizations past could have been aware of cycles that last for tens of thousands of years.

And now humans are so myopic on what is in front of them, we hardly look up.
How to Iterate Through Directories in C++
It's difficult to explain partly because over the last 10 years there has been more unskilled than skilled job growth which contradicts that narrative.
Back in the early 2000s my iMac (Lime G3/400), which ran constantly, wouldn’t turn on after being shut off and cooling down. It definitely didn’t fit in the oven, but it’s ass went in anyhow, with the monitor hanging out the front of the oven.

It came back on and worked for a couple more years... the next cool down killed it for good though. No amount of baking would bring it back. Granted, I didn’t pull the logic board (I’d upgraded to a G4 by then)...

The real problem is that grocery is a low margin business to begin with, and for so many chains it’s a race to the bottom. That means cutting down on the number of cashiers, but that doesn’t exactly mean that self checkouts are taking over.

Almost every store that has self checkouts in addition to staffed checkouts has at least one person normally helping watch the self checkout registers. Thats basically why they aren’t taking a lot of jobs yet. Under normal circumstances, if you got rid of the self checkouts, at most you’d only get one extra register open on average.
ArchiveBox: The open-source self-hosted web archive
Repeating what? The same outdated, misrepresented arguments mainly relied on by react fandom? It's simple, lot's of options out there. If comfort and loyalty clearly takes precedence over best solutions, you've already made the decision. The problem isn't that web components failed, or you can't pass objects via props, or that you think you need polymer, or their not browser supported, or they actually adapt in most existing Frameworks. The problem is turf, and react loves its turf. Just point out that arguing from a position of 5 year old specs, adoption, and knowledge isn't, IMO, very wise. Rather a self inflicted lost opportunity.

Loads of people say this, and I do too, but it's also important to realize that this basically doesn't happen. Retraining doesn't materially exist and hasn't been shown to work en masse, while the American safety net for unemployment-without-retraining is minimal.

The challenge isn't "finding new work." It's "being suitable for any work." And we still seem to try to avoid grappling with that problem.
but the question is how will they enforce this?
let's say there are X units of content that based on the directive should not be available to Europeans through platform Y.

Why data science often fails [video]
I worked, briefly, for a mobile app developer that made an app so bad, it regularly bricked phones. There were bugs in the logging that would trash the flash storage. It would also prevent the radios from entering power save, and floor the CPU (bugs). Within months of use, customer phones would either “explode” from excessive battery drain, “lightly smoke,” or just become inoperable from dead flash storage.

I sat in a meeting where the execs were all complaining about Apple’s unfair business practices re: their inability to do terrible things in background tasks, and their frequent app rejections / review process.

In this case, Apple saved countless phones from being bricked by one of the worst enterprise app developers. Some of the restrictions help to prevent first class assholes, like them, from publishing wholly defective garbage.

No, that's not what racism is. Racism is saying that a group is less human because of their skin tone or heritage. I am not saying that white people are less human; I am saying that they enjoy privileges in America that other racial or ethnic groups do not. This is not racism.
And the "Air Bud" movies. And all those Puppies-that-talk cartoon movies. And puppy yoga. And all the "surprise puppy" youtube vids. Pretty much every media event involving puppies has encouraged people to buy dogs who shouldn't own them. Puppies are only puppies for a day or two before they aren't puppies anymore.

If I were king of Disney or Youtube I would ban all cute puppy footage.

I'd also discourage anyone who has never owned a dog from purchasing a particular breed. If you have no experience with dogs, get a mutt. If you want a larger dog, get a lab-Shepard cross. If smaller, any of the bichon-havanese crosses.

Indeed. And as with most laws of this sort, action will almost certainly be taken against large, abusive parties, rather than going after little guys who are being honest and doing their best. The Internet will survive, and perhaps even thrive in an environment where big companies are no longer able to run roughshod over everyone else's content.
Require it to reserve the money for each DMCA takedown request. The amount is equivalent of fair compensation if the request was borgus.
I'm always jealous when I read a blog post like this, because I can't imagine working in an environment where you can actually spend time investigating something or even start something without telling somebody how long it's going to take (give or take fifteen minutes) and the answer better not be more than four hours.

The article was exhausting (unless you're into stuff like the history of table manners going back to the Victorian era) so I'll save you having to read it for the final paragraph which sums up the opinion nicely:

> Really, what the average person would consider “good” table manners these days boils down to common sense: Chewing with your mouth open is, and always will be gauche. But the more specific etiquette practices — the rules for how to hold your utensils or scoop up your soup — are no longer uniform, and therefore, mistakes are less likely to be met with the same bougie judgement they would have been a century ago.
Class is dead and buried especially in America, and this article was clearly written by one of its grave diggers.
