1. Start with an Idea.

2. Go sell it to someone and have them pay you to build it.

3. This will look mostly like a service at first, very custom.

4. Now go and sell part of the thing you just built, or the whole thing to someone else.

5. Build this second one using as much of the first thing as possible. Add whatever features the second company/person wants so long as you can sell it back to person/company #1 or a third company.

6. By this point you should have talked to a bunch of people... you should know generally what people actually want. Take the stuff you built, generalize it, refine it, test it, and then sell it to people in person.

7. for the last step you don't need my advice or anyone else's... you have a product and people are paying you for it. You now know what to do.
it's past time that someone submits a pull request for that hahaha
Company culture isn't going to change much at Apple.

They have programs like Apple University and the memory of Steve Jobs will always loom large over the company.

And Apple could've focused primarily on advertising decades ago. But they didn't because it's just not in their DNA. They are and will forever be a widgets company.

Whether a governement is abusive or not is greatly in the eye of the beholder so yes, there are plenty of worldviews where such a thing wouldn't be "disgustingly greedy, unempathetic, and immoral".

Besides, there's a lot more going on in this space (and article) than the vote itself. There are calls to regulate facial recognition, which I think is an immoral option (and futile) as it only allows governments access to a powerful technology.
> Why should private analysis of photos legally acquired be illegal?

For the same reason most horrifyingly destructive items created out of perfectly legal items are illegal?
I don't think that's a good analogy: in terms of technology you usually settle for a single device to fulfill a given purpose. Travelling fits in the same category as music, films and so on: you want to have different, often uncomparable, experiences.

The article above is a bit like someone saying that they have settled for driving between, say, Paris and London, despite the time commitment and other inconveniences. All while never having tried or even considered flying between the two. The goal here is to get from London to Paris, the goal in the article is to find a produce that best suits their workflow.
The idea is to decouple the content from the platform. So one way you could do it is have the content deployed to an open distributed file storage and streaming protocol (IPFS or Holochain perhaps, blockchain will never scale).

Content creators upload it to this network and the content becomes a standalone entity.

Platforms then have full open access to the content. The platforms compete on the UX/UI and recommendation algorithm layers. Every platform will have access to all content. But if Netflix provides the best viewing experience then people will pay a monthly fee to use it.

Each time the content is streamed, the user (or platform) pays a microfee per minute watched which goes directly back to the content creator.

Omitting quite a few technical details but you get the gist.

What I really wanted was facial recognition in Google Glasses. I hate it when I am in the store and someone comes up and says Hi <name> hows the wife and kids, and I am like "who is this....". Would be great to say "Hey Bob, doing good" :)

We ran into the same problem with our SaaS. We haven't gotten to the point where we need to solve the problem yet but in my research I ran into TaxJar (https://www.taxjar.com/) and was confident they will be one of the easiest solutions to the problem when we get to that point.

This of course assumes a US-based product/users.
It would be nice if we were all superrational, but that concept just explains away the entire problem of the prisoner's dillemma: the dilemma serves to highlight our mutual lack of trust, and superrationality simply says, 'what if we did trust each other'? Since the assumptions of superrationality would be naive and foolish for any of those prisoners to assume, it solves nothing.
Is this cute? Yeah, absolutely, but there are actually a lot of cute little handheld gaming devices just like it, except they have nicer screens and don't cost $150.

For example, my friend has a doorbell with a camera. The doorbell has software that runs facial recognition on me, and it often correctly identifies me, regardless of whether I look into the camera or not. (Nowadays I do, since I know it already knows me, I just make silly faces since I know it goes to his phone.)

Now, IDK how I feel about this doorbell. But it's also his property; am I to say he can't have an AI-enhanced doorbell on his house? But that doorbell also likely uploads my image, and data about me, to centralized servers somewhere, largely without my consent. (Aside from perhaps my implied consent of entering his property, but even then, I don't think I noticed it the first time I visited. Now I'm aware of it, since he told me, and has demoed the tech to me in various ways.)

(IDK if this particular thing is an Amazon product or not, and in fact, I highly suspect it isn't, but I want to pose it as an example of just because I might voluntarily choose to not use the tech, that choice only goes so far, and there are still privacy implications for me despite it.)
It may or may not. It’s more that google has a poor track record of investing in niche hardware.
> Picture in picture is a great feature, but it works inconsitently between apps, with some not at all, and why can't I arbitrarily size the video and put it into the corners?

PiP video can be resized, up to a limit of about 1/4 of the screen.

> While per default watching a video/tv program rather small, I would like to have the ability to enlarge the picture, if something interesting comes up.

There's an icon (diagonal arrow) to exit PiP mode and return to full-screen in the original app.

iXpand USB drives are supported by some apps (e.g. nPlayer, LumaFusion). There's a rumor that external storage support will arrive in iOS13, hopefully without too many restrictions.

> Either humans are more sacred than other animals, and should be treated specially, even when dead

This legislation doesn't force anyone to be composted after their death. It gives a families and loved ones a new option, without taking away any options.

As such we haven't taken away anyone's options to treat humans specially, or however they wanted to be treated.

As long as it's safe and doesn't introduce significant negative externalities, I fail to see why not granting more choices would be a bad idea.
Because it's not $6.99. It's $6.99 multiplied by every platform silo in which the content you want to view is held captive.
> to me it feels the article is written more from the perspective of someone who hasn't actually worked with tablet based MS product...

I don't get how you can make this claim when they actually talk about Microsoft products specifically in the article:

> In the past, I've written about how devices like Surface Go are the perfect venn diagram of productivity and portability—and remain convinced that Microsoft's approach is the right one, allowing a tiny tablet to do run full desktop apps.

> But, what Microsoft still doesn't have is a good enough dedicated tablet software story yet: Surface Go is one of my favorite devices in years, but its problem is a lack of tablet-mode apps worth using. If it had better battery life, that might be worth the compromise in the opposite direction, but that'll need to be addressed in future revisions.

But Eve is where the attacks are going to come from. Whether it's Eve's intention, or was under coersion by Fred makes no difference to the end user. Browser E2E encryption is at best marginally harder to break, but it gives the user a bigger sense of privacy than it deserves, may be to the detriment of the unlearned user.

It's very tempting to tell "just so" stories like this, but from the perspective of an infectious disease epidemiologist, cultural and religious practices, including burials, aren't consistently "good" from a disease standpoint. It's about 50/50 whether it helps or hurts.

There are many people who don't think there's anything immoral about facial recognition, or even its lawful use by law enforcement. I am among them. Such individuals probably comprise a higher fraction of Amazon's voting shareholders than the population at large. Especially if you count by votes, since if Bezos thought there was anything wrong with it the program wouldn't exist.
Not all uses of facial recognition strip people of human rights. Would it strip you of your rights if an airport used this tech to discover known terrorists in a crowd? Or how about recognizing you at the DMV and pulling up your records automatically? I'm sure there are millions of non-human rights violating usages (even by the government) of facial recognition.
>despite the common claim that US healthcare is expensive because it provides patients with the best treatments.

To play devils advocate, nothing is cost efficient at the top end.

You can buy a Honda Civic that gets you from A to B just fine, a 'vette for under $100k or some super-car that's the absolute limit of what technology can do within the bounds of what's road legal and it costs an order of magnitude more than the 'Vette.

You can buy a rug at Walmart for $100, Ikea for $200 or you can buy some fancy pants oriental rug befitting royalty for a million bucks.

I don't know if there are any astrobiologists or chemists,
but this brings to mind one of my favorite pet theories regarding abiogenesis, one that I've been thinking of more and more since the new horizons mission.

When we did the flyby of Pluto, I was drop jawed when we saw how dynamic the surface was. I sincerely expected a rockier, more oxidized, surface with no clear evidence of a geological cycle. Obviously what we saw was far more complex, and it brought the idea that a geology of volatile ices would be possible on these more marginal bodies (like Pluto).

The question I have is regarding what kinds of chemistry are possible on icy bodies like Pluto. If there is a complex geology, this indicates to me that things are going from liquid to solid (nitrogen ice, oxygen ice, etc..), so are some kinds of chemical bonds (specifically, organic ones) can form if a body like Pluto is has a dynamic geology?

Is it possible that the organic precursors for life are constantly accumulating on icy bodies like Pluto, and while obviously, live can't form on Pluto, could an impact discharge a massive quantity of precursor chemistry onto a planet more hospitable?

Its an interesting aside that pretty much imminently after the earths surface solidified and cooled after the impact even, life began.

In the very 1st week of my PhD studies, we had a host of eminent researchers advising us on how to succeed in graduate studies. One of those professors put up a slide that had a giant 1-line “Don’t use smartphones”

The entire audience - all 30 fresh PhD students, simply took a picture of that slide with their smartphone, just as they did the previous slide & the next one & so on. Not even a hint of irony.

That’s when I thought - that ship has sailed.

You can get used to a game controller, or well, most of us do eventually. At anyrate, you can find left handed game controllers on the market.

But that is a crank, it requires a bit more dexterity, like holding a pen.

PiP video can be resized, up to a limit of about 1/4 of the screen.

Right, thats the problem. It is nice for keeping track of what happens, but e.g. when watching a football game, you want the ability to magnify, as I wrote, to an arbitrary video size. Also, why can't I put the video into the corner, why does it keep a significant distance to the screen edges, so covering more of my app than necessary for the video size.

There's an icon (diagonal arrow) to exit PiP mode and return to full-screen in the original app.

Which can be slow, and not work at all. Also, it might be impossible to get back to the PIP (depending on the app) and also affects the app you were using with the PIP. Why can't I just enlarge the PIP to cover most of my screen, at least up to 75%?
They did that to me at least once. I found out when the customer asked me for some certification. It was infuriating, because I was the only one not lying: the customer wanted to present me to their clients as their employee, when I was actually a subcontractor, so they didn't even complain to my bosses.

I don't know what I would do in your position. I have almost 25 years of experience and won't lie ever. If I can't get some job, I'd look for another one worse paid.
I have the exact same issues regarding starting tasks/hobbies and not being able to finish them. I've actually never, in my entire life, managed to stick to anything for longer than a week. Aside from school, but you're basically forced to go through it.

I've tried multiple times to get through college, but I could never study consistently or at any length of time without feeling exhausted after a couple of minutes, if not before even starting. People keep talking about getting started is the hardest part... No, not for me. I'm lucky if I can get through 20 minutes before I can't focus and need to do something else for an hour or two.

I've thought about ADHD before, but I'm just not sure. There are plenty of situations where I feel engaged enough to do a single task for a long time. I can read a book in one sitting. I can binge watch entire seasons of GoT (or any number of other series) back-to-back. So it feels like grasping for ADHD is just a cop out of actually learning how to study or how to adult and I feel like even more of a failure.
Oh yeah, those were fantastic little devices. It's a shame that it wasn't popular enough to warrant successors. The OpenMoko people did some really innovative stuff back in the day, but hardware is tough.
I love this so much. I'm such a sucker for simple gaming mechanics, and I have some faith that these specific people could make this work.

I know devices like this often fail to thrive in the market, but Teenage Engineering has some experience making this sort of single-purpose device work for customers. Panic seems to be very passionate, quality and delivery oriented, and good at doing an exceptional job on familiar products. There might be some potential here. I'd absolutely take my chances on this thing if I could get my hands on one! My kids would love it too.
I think it’s entirely misguided to place the responsibility to ensure that customers are not using products to violate civil liberties on to corporate boards. Legislature should define them, and courts should uphold them. To say that these responsibilities should be shifted to the board room is alarming and undemocratic.
Serious question - Why put off DeprecationWarnings to 3.9? If these modules are as dead as this PEP claims, then I'd wonder if Python scripts using such modules would be actively looking to transition to 3.x in the first place.
Public corporations, private corporations, state-owned, party-controlled corporations. It doesn’t matter. At least public corporations are known to bow to pressure.

I think ownership is irrelevant. What matters is lawfulness and what remains lawful after pressure or indifference from the constituencies.

Hand in hand with this is the rule of law. Some countries on paper have great liberties and rights for their people, but in practice it’s up to the party to interpret and enforce (as in the great purges, etc,)
Human tradition that originated in practical (at the time) solutions to a practical problem, that then got dressed up in ritual.

Personally the association with Teenage Engineering makes me more concerned that this will not be as exciting as it sounds. TE's Op-1 is a fine piece of kit, but their recent offerings have been very underwhelming. Also the placement of the crank and the form factor look very un-ergonomic.

Subdue? Not sure of that. But this is ironic on a number of levels. First, China's crackdown on Xinjiang followed a prolonged (multi-decade) period of low intensity guerilla resistance to their occupation that essentially garnered no international reporting. Second, everywhere else in China has suffered deep and substantial cultural losses in the rush through socialism to modernity as well, with religion, festivals and local languages and dialects front and center. Third, China only really stepped up its efforts in Xinjiang right after the US made "terrorism/national security" the catch-all political excuse de riguer in the noughties, post 911. Fourth, the Islamic presence in Xinjiang literally corresponds to a complete cultural genocide against a range of multicultural (but predominantly Buddhist) kingdoms so effective that we are still piecing together how to read their (significant) literature today. Fifth, a $290M CCTV contract is nothing versus daily US military-industrial spending. Sixth, modern China's main push against peoples in this region began as early as the 1940s based on a joint China-Russia opposition to nomadic tribes in the region, documented in the book Kazak Exodus. http://pratyeka.org/books/kazak-exodus/
