More of what the point is I think is that they don't go into any meta-analysis of big changes that were seen in many of the trials. They don't try to isolate specific mechanisms that formed in a majority of trials that almost made it to this stage for example. They just don't really go into any analysis of the failure trees in trial dataset at all.

IMHO this is probably just a case of them trying to stretch this out across a bunch of different papers, and this is just the announce paper. Which is a shitty practice, but the current academic environment encourages taking good findings and puffing them up into multiple incomplete papers rather than one well-done paper.
Sure, but that isn't saying an awful lot; most satellites are very expensive. SpaceX would want to weigh the cost of hardening the system against radiation versus the cost of another launch to replace failure(s). I'd guess radiation-hardening of some kind (at least sufficient to prevent most permanent damage) would win out in that calculation, but I'll happily admit I don't have any particular factual basis for that guess.

The other big thing was Larry pushed social on the company without really understanding social as a product, and was absolutely unable to handle the huge negative response both internally and externally to that push. This all happened at the same time Microsoft and Amazon committed to Cloud (which Google has only tepidly adopted).

The one time I met with Schmidt to explain my cloud project, he was delighted and encouraging and helped shape the design in a way that made it much more effective. He was a very effective leader (although not everybody agrees- some people think he's an arrogant asshole).
If you look at mikeselectricstuff’s teardown of an omnipod, its quite simple.

I'm glad I wasn't the only one who had that reaction. Don't get me wrong, I liked the first half of the article a lot. The exploration and discussion of coevolution principle in technology was very interesting. But the way the "software revolution" was described is extremely naive. The following are some points that stood out.

And of course, that communication is free and instantaneous regardless of its distance.

No, it isn't. It might be near-instantaneous in best case, but it sure as hell isn't free.

The gig economy worker and the digital nomad are two examples of lifestyles that are native to this new paradigm. Each just has to press a button to start making money. Each works when and from wherever they want. And each gets paid in direct proportion to their output.

This totally ignores the plethora of very real and very nasty issues plaguing the gig economy.

In practice, it means the factory no longer needs to run as slow as its slowest gear. Each gear can spin as fast as it fancies, and be rewarded according to it.

That's not how things work out in practice. The "gears" don't "spin" in isolation, so the "slowest gear" still affects the whole "factory". Worse, the competitive nature of our society turns this whole scenario into a race to the bottom.

Some will say that this measurability also comes at the cost of our privacy. But you rarely need your government-issued ID to do things online — something less true of the physical world. Software is anonymous by default.

Do we live in the same world? Sure, software itself is conceptually uninterested in identity -- which isn't the same thing as being anonymous -- but I think we've all had plenty of evidence demonstrating how software facilitates erosion of privacy.

You may not need to ask for permission to distribute your content anymore, but you do need permission to get paid. If the payment gatekeepers don’t like you, you’re outta luck.

Again, this is simplistic and naive. Cryptocurrencies cannot magically abstract away the real world. The "payment gatekeepers" are not just banks and credit card companies. There's also your government and your client's government and all the stuff that comes with them.

In short, while I agree we should be excited about technology, we really have to do a much better job of making sure it helps us.
Huh? With async, there's typically only ever 1 thread running, so there's no contention for the GIL.

I prefer what the EFF is doing -- trying to shift the legal landscape, so that we don't need to take elaborate steps.

Us individual techies always look for ways we can, as people, dodge these intrusions of the system into our lives.

Unfortunately for us individual techies, the real power is in political organizing and shifting the law and culture around such intrusions. We shouldn't need to be inconvenienced like this.

>Why not helping Wikipedia and contributing to this huge open knowledge base? The rules set by the WP community for acceptability clearly do not imply that “actual technologies, projects, products, theoretical electrical components and academic ideas” might be removed if written there, as the author suggests.

There are rules as they are written, and there are rules as they are actually enforced. Wikipedia has long had a great divide here, especially thanks to rules-lawyering deletionists and political cliques amongst editors.

Somehow it's strange seeing these tech giants being handed over to a new generation. Microsoft has long been associated with Gates and Balmer, Steve's DNA still runs in Apple, and Google still reminds me of Schmidt. The newer generation of executives and board directors in these companies has a very difficult task to do: stick to the past or redefine the company for the future.

> This the tendency to lean towards guilty until proven innocent

In England there are over 150,000 rapes each year (From the annual crime survey). Only about 5,000 are prosecuted, and only about 2,500 are convicted - and many of those are people pleading guilty.

For the last year we have figures for there were 4517 prosecutions, 2635 convictions and 1882 unsucessful prosecutions.

Of those convictions there were 1,522 people pleading guilty, and 1,112 people found guilty at trial. (One person found guilty in their absence).

These numbers don't appear to support the idea that people are seen as guilty and have to prove their innocence.
Bismarck was a whiz of foreign policy, who had successfully juggled the alliances surrounding the (relatively nascent by European standards) German state throughout his time as a diplomat and Chancellor.

His contemporary Hohenzollern monarch (Wilhelm's II predecessor) largely allowed Bismark to take free reign over diplomacy, recognizing him as a generational talent.

If Bismarck was an ideological juggler, capable of accepting political loss in the short-term to catch out his adversaries in the long-term, Wilhelm was a firebrand, who refused to play games with "the enemy" (especially the Russians), even if they benefited the long-term survival of his state and person.

The cartoon shows Bismarck stepping off the ship, leaving Wilhelm to take over. While this is perhaps an unflattering characterization of Bismarck, it reflects that, even in 1890, it was known that Wilhelm would not be able to lead the nation better than this forcibly-retired titan of European diplomacy.

Bismarck probably could have stayed on the ship, because its sailors were largely aligned with him, but he was getting old (75 when he retired); and he tired of suffering the youth and ignorance of the not-so-subtle monarch. His most immediate, and unfortunate legacy was the black hole he left unfilled.

The aftermath was a complete lack of long-term thinking, that led to all the European countries (even Russia!! who had a hard time getting along with the UK/France in particular) agreeing to form alliances against Germany. It's quite reasonable to point to Bismarck's departure as the first big slip down the slippery slope that led to WWI.

Compare this to Eric Schmidt leaving Google (filled with young Wilhelm IIs?) how you will.

Personally I preferred the weird '90s to the FAANG-everywhere blandness we have today. And I'm having a hard time imagining how we're supposed to "modify and optimize" those gatekeepers.
Additionally, splitting in "first" and "last" name is a terrible idea for a service that aims to be international. Not all names can be split as "first" and "last". Some people have two "last" names. Some languages (e.g. Hungarian) put the family name before the given name.

Regarding data collection, it's hard to make people care. It's like smoking or (some) drugs; as long as the effect is gradual and not immediate, people won't care.

It takes someone who values freedom and privacy, and/or tech savvy folks that understand the implications of data collection, to actually care.

It's unfortunate, but most are not even willing to take 15 minutes and re-configure the settings on their phone to increase privacy. For more people to care, I think it'll have to affect them directly, in a negative and embarrassing way.
Both problems have built-in debug solutions in recent versions of python. The event loop will literally print out all the un-awaited coroutines when it exits, and you can enable debug on the event loop and have it print out every time a coroutine takes longer than a configurable amount of time.

I find FaceID worse than TouchID, in a couple of ways:

1. It's very common both at work and at home that the iPhone is flat on a table and I want to quickly unlock it to check something. Previously, snaking a finger out was sufficient; now, I have to deliberately pick it up, look at it, and then swipe upwards. (It's also much more conspicuous in meetings.)

2. FaceID seems to struggle (i.e. fail to unlock, or delay the unlock) more often than TouchID - it seems quite sensitive to the angle it's held at as it scans my face.
If it's any consolation, sometimes the relevant facebook team doesn't understand what triggers the censorship algorithms they themselves built.

Remember that Larry was CEO twice: 1998-2001 and 2011-2015. During the first period Google was exceptionally innovative. During the second, Google attempted to be exceptionally innovative but largely fell flat on its face.

I'd blame size and market position more. Google was left as one of very few profitable giants standing when the dot-com crash hit, and yet they were young enough to not have the institutional inertia of Amazon, E-bay, and Yahoo. That left them exceptionally well positioned to capitalize on the Internet's deployment phase, where the technology got good enough and widespread enough to really build huge businesses off it. They managed to own the next platform (mobile) but were too large, slow, and entrenched to really understand the implications of it, and they're not even attempting to play in the cryptoverse.

Apple, Luminary, Spotify, and the podcast wars to come
On 1 quarter YoY basis, their core iPhone business saw a plateau slowdown of -17.3% ($31B). iPad saw 21.5% growth ($4.9B) and their newest categories Wearables (Watch/Airpods) saw a 30% jump ($5.13B) whilst their Service Revenue increased 16.2% ($11.45B).

Despite their Apple News+, Apple Card, Apple Arcade and Apple TV+ services/subscription revenues not having kicked in yet so I'd expect they'll return to overall revenue/profit growth next year when all their revenue centers are operating on full cylinders.
Thank you for your response. I'm greatly encouraged that the license is CC-BY-SA. That's definitely in the public good.

I do believe there is space for non-Wikipedia knowledge repositories. Look at Wikia, for example. People do want to store all their fandom knowledge somewhere. It's just that Wikipedia might not be the place for it.

I also agree that the underinvestment in tools can limit contributions. Wikipedia's new visual editor is the biggest step they've taken in making editing easily accessible. They also have new translation and analysis tools. Not to mention all the specialized wikis under the umbrella - Wiktionary, Wikidata, etc. I do wonder if it's enough though.

Thanks for your work. I hope you can find a balanced business model.
If there's no hope of a conviction because there's evidence that strongly suggests the events didn't happen it would be better to avoid the trial.
> I get that FB is convenient because most people have an account already, but a FB login button would also do the trick for most communities.

More than that convenience, I think it's the convenience of not having to deal with configuring some forum server software and using it. To many people, FB is the internet. Basing a community elsewhere raises the bar of entry for their target community.
To add another wrinkle, some stuff was broadcast live via video and recorded to film by basically pointing a film camera at a TV. This was then used to broadcast the content in another timezone.

The Volatile Benefit of Persistent Memory
The city contract requires they service the lowest income parts of the city first, hence the extremely patchwork rollout over the last few years.

Due to the mandatory client base skew, the city is causing them to redline middle and high income areas of the city. Fiber is in Georgetown and Rainer Valley, but your SoL in Fremont's built up areas and in Sand Point.

Universal coverage should have been mandated, but its easy to end up like Kenmore (which required total Fios coverage from Verizon, now Frontier) and has seen Finn Hill go unserviced for years. Enforcement of the franchise contract is just as critical as initial negotiation.

Outside of a few select areas, most of Seattle only ever saw ADSL (or no DSL in parts of the north end) as we didn't allow large VDSL2 cabinets in the public ROW. I think this has caused Centurylink to build fiber in the city, as they've rarely overbuilt VDSL2 areas like Bellevue, Kent & Auburn.

I saw a flyer at an outdoor-activities retail store. I didn't take one, but they had samples set up in a little diorama-type display.

So I guess you could go to a Bass Pro Shop or Cabela's or Gander Mtn. (if yours is still open), and look near the hunting gear? I'm not sure that it made a viable business, but it sure looked cool when I saw it.

This seems like it ignores "despite an ever larger portion of public speech being conducted through corporate platforms."

Compelled speech is (rightly) illegal in pretty much all cases, and while "both or neither" is not quite the same as directly compelling a specific statement, it's still not a free-speech-respecting stance. The thorny question is how to handle public speech conducted through private platforms - for instance the suit over whether President Trump can block people on Twitter. Twitter is obviously a private platform, but it's being used by a public figure to make policy announcements, and blocking restricts the ability of certain people to see and respond to those announcements.

"Public forum" doctrine is controversial, but it's far from new. More broadly, it's the First Amendment application of a larger question: how far can the government go in using private intermediaries to bypass constitutional protections? On the Fourth, police are allowed to use private tips with origins that would be "unreasonable search", but can't proactively request or pay for such searches. On the Fifth, a non-government party might prompt admissible hearsay by means not available to the police, but that doesn't free the police to hand off interrogations to private parties.

That sort of constitutionality-laundering is an increasingly pressing issue, everywhere from warrantless lookups of mobile phone locations to public speech conducted on Twitter. And this is quite clearly the claim laid out in the article (though it's not a US case): that airports are so closely linked to the government that their ability to control speech (especially speech related to government behavior in airports) is restricted. It's a matter open to dispute, but it's very much not as simple as compelling speech from a private party.
You seem to be saying: 1) An ad-driven business model isn't the best way for Facebook to monetize its business now or in the future 2) Facebook isn't the best organization to build the social network of the future.

These claims have little to do with the argument OP made (or my response). That is: 1) Facebook provides zero or negative value to users today 2) The world would be better off without Facebook today 3) If Facebook disagrees with 1 or 2, they're obligated to explain why

Following media coverage of Apple lobbying in those two states, the company has been much quieter. Rather than lobbying on its own behalf, the company has relied on CompTIA, an organization funded by tech companies like Apple, Microsoft, and Samsung, to testify against the legislation at hearings and meet with lawmakers.

The in-person meetings in California came a few weeks after CompTIA and 18 other trade organizations associated with big tech companies—including CTIA and the Entertainment Software Association—sent letters in opposition of the legislation to members of the Assembly’s Privacy and Consumer Protection Committee. One copy of the letter, addressed to committee chairperson Ed Chau and obtained by Motherboard, urges the chairperson “against moving forward with this legislation.

I am shocked and ashamed that CompTIA would lobby against right to repair. To think that they are viewed as a high and mighty standards organization in the IT world - it's sickening to think that people worshiping them are essentially boot-licking - a term that I try to avoid using, but in this instance, unfortunately seems accurate.

I first tried out Fedora a few weeks ago. It was a terrible first impression because there were banner ads in the installer. They were relevant to Fedora, but still, they were banner ads sticking out like a sore thumb. I've never seen anything like that when installing a Linux distro before and it was a major turn off.

Yes, I got it from the official website. Yes, I checked the hash.

The impression probably would have been a lot different if the messages were delivered in a format that didn't look exactly like banner ads on the WWW.
