As opposed to what? Hasn't that been the default behavior since cars have had radios in them?

Detecting Copyright Infringement in Maps Using a Trap Street
Because to claim that bitcoin succeeded as a payment/salary method is ridiculous. Vast majority of bitcoin volume is just speculation on exchanges. The massive price volatility is a testament to why it cannot be used as a currency -- who would want to make a services/job contract that in a matter of a year could change its value by an order of magnitude. The whole point of these contracts is to hedge against future volatility. Remember, if bitcoin goes up then the employer gets screwed, if bitcoin goes down then the employee gets screwed; there is no direction that is good for everyone, only stability is good.

Furthermore, good currency should encourage investment (into things) which means it needs to be (slightly) deflationary (to introduce a cost to not investing into production). Otherwise you get into a paradoxical/toxic situation where NOT producing useful things becomes financially advantageous.
> EE, Civil, Mechanical, Aeronautical etc. and in not a single one of them do they do this monkey dance.

EEs definitely go through basic, advanced, and domain-specific circuit design questions in their interviews. And compared to LEETCODE they are much more difficult to prepare for too.

There is a reason why SWE is a fallback option for many other engineering disciplines -- resources like leetcode and low barrier of entry to learning make it much more accessible.

It's funny to me how clear the divide is in terms of valuing this technology vs being scared of it for people working in tech vs not
"A better solution would be for Samsung to automatically update its operating system for you."

An even better solution is to stop making unnecessary appliances "smart" and not handing bad actors a surface area to attack when companies aren't willing to invest in security

But of course this runs contrary to the bread-and-circuses mode of operation that dominates tech "innovation" nowadays. Nobody is content making a really good TV anymore; now they've been infected by the same featureitis that corrupted software development decades ago
As an aside, Converge’s official lyrics include the phrase “soul survivors”. While it is almost certainly an error, it’s felt poetic to me, as if implying that suffering is an inevitable consequence of consciousness.
How to Work with Stakeholders as a Data Scientist
Given that it's easily possible to simply not use the "smart" features as you describe, what's the advantage to these manufactures spending extra money/resources maintaining the "dumb" SKUs? Wouldn't it be a better value for everyone involved to just make sure the "smart" features can be turned off?

Vizio TVs now are little more than dumb TVs with chromecast built in. Which is pretty much what I want.
While there have been a few very scary hacks that could compromise a currently-unlocked-and-running SIM, I don't think there is anything you can do to a powered-down SIM without the PIN.
The first time I really started thinking about this was years ago after watching the recycling episode of "Penn & Teller: Bullshit" where they essentially warn that many recycling programs consist of shipping our waste elsewhere for someone else to deal with and that some day the countries we send our "recycling"/waste to will likely get sick of it and start rejecting it and we'll be fucked.

That was almost 10 years ago
Public School Finance: Anyone Remember “School Reform?
I rented an Audi a4 that had Carplay but only allowed buttons to navigate. It was really frustrating. Trying to move the map around ended up being more dangerous than just swiping the damn screen.
My approach to a smart TV was just to buy a PlayStation. Anything I've wanted to do on my TV was available as an app in the PlayStation store, with the exception being Google Play Music. I had previously tried using a Google Chrome, but eventually got sick of its lack of local storage & native remote.
How much are professors paid?
They probably should be more common. The ER is expensive and there are plenty of cases where admitting is obvious.
This may be true, but in terms of priority, I'd estimate that a car carries multiple people only 5-10% of the time it's used.
Having used both, I vastly prefer the touchscreen. The rotary input takes way longer to navigate to the next letter, and it's easier to make mistakes (e.g. accidentally switching modes) and it's harder to fix them (need to cycle all the way to the end to hit backspace, sometimes having to start from scratch if your mistake was "jump out of input mode")

As a tech-reviewer I'd assume OP to be more tech-savvy than your average shmoe, yet they kept ALL (literally all) Finanical and generally sensitive information in a central location that easily breached (G-drive) and to top it off used 2FA through SMS for many of their services. If anything this article only discredits the author of any common sense in the tech-space.
Despite all the trying I have, I cannot get my mom or grandmother to ever understand switching HDMI sources. The SmartTV has most functions built in with a single remote control. This is crazy significant to the appeal.
Intuitive explanation about the proof? That might be tricky because it took a computer to prove it.
And what if the cryptographic hashes are broken, stolen, or whatever? Once you're in the system, if there's rewriteable storage at all, it can be compromised.

If you want to stream, the apps need to be updated as streaming service providers update their systems from time to time.
Or else what? Not exactly the end of the world if my TV is pwned as long as I can still, you know, use it.

The ability to move laterally in my home network is about as valuable to anyone sophisticated enough to use it as walking around my apartment complex would be to a real life Danny Ocean. Could Danny get into my house and take my PII? Sure, but like, why the fuck would he?

It's not wonderful to potentially be contributing to some botnet, but that's on Samsung not me.
> You CAN adjust the A/C via the steering wheel buttons, turn it off, control the fan speed etc. It's very intuitive.

I'm doing web searches for this right now and not finding anything, either for Model 3 or Model S, or just Tesla in general.

Where do they hide this information?
Woah there. If you widen this to all companies, then we have to account for Oil, Tobacco, Finance, Pharma, etc, etc. I'm afraid the chaos too deeply entrenched there.
When I was hearing that first reported it was much fuzzier and they only recovered small portions of the data for the flight which makes me much less certain of the 'he simulated the exact flight' theory.

Edit: Found a source for my memory, it's from Lemino's pretty great video: [0] "the data recovered consists of 7 coordinates ... however it's not clear if the coordinates originate from the same flight session."

I own a Mazda that has this touchscreen and I use it to set nav destinations, but otherwise I rely totally on the analog controls. Typing with analog dials can be a nightmare though so I hope they sort this out -- my mother's Audi makes you type with analog controls and it makes me want to pull my hair out. Good luck setting a destination when you're in a hurry.
You know, that's a pretty fair point. I guess not seeing that as an issue is a consequence of an engineer running AV setup at home. More remotes = more to lose.

None of my stuff seems to do this, but isn't there something for HDMI that allows bidirectional stuff to allow a device to control the volume and whatnot?
It's not an iPhone thing. It's entirely on your carrier whether or not to enable it on a new SIM.
At least in that case the compiler should produce a warning about trying to deference the not-pointer.
About 10 years ago I visited Acapulco, just a few months after it appeared in the lists as one of the most dangerous cities in the world (after a lot of tourists were captured for ransom). The center (with beaches, markets, restaurants) was completely empty, as the US (the main tourist source) recommended the tourists to avoid the place, so cruise ships did not stop there anymore. The locals told us that they took a big financial hit because of that - as on average a cruise ship tourist spent around $100 per day on food, transport, attractions and souvenirs.
Do you have an example of this in the wild?
Georgia Tech certainly is.
Fond (YC W12) Is Hiring an Engineering Manager in Portland
People often mention hygiene and complicated logistics as the reason disposable plastic packaging was adopted. I think as with lots of other examples through history, it is hard to know beforehand the negativities of an application of technology.
It depends. If the TV was advertised with a specific application, which I see often, then the loss of that application is a loss of advertised functionality.

The way I see it, if they used the availability of an app as a direct selling point, that makes them somewhat liable to it's continued functionality. If they didn't secure that contractually or with some level of assurance, they should not have advertised it.
I use my Vizio TV for my computer monitor. That's all it ever does is be a monitor. Except when my computer breaks and I have to repair it. For a day or two, that built in netflix app is a wonder :)
Is there a market out there for a modern dumb TV? A good panel, decent speakers and a load of I/O in a slick enclosure?

I think I’d buy this.
Forget that, I'm starting a new sport for the gentry: it's called "Urban Duck Hunting," and the targets might include fowl, but it will already be deep-fried.
It required a notoriously hard-to-simplify proof, which required computer assisted brute force analysis. But an intuition is that a complete graph with four nodes is planar, and five is not. A (3,3) bipartite graph is also the smallest non-planar bipartite graph. That's probably good for answering "why would you suspect 4".
> lack of local storage

Ironic, given the subject of this thread. Though obviously the point stands that there's no need for execute permissions on an area being used for config settings and media storage.

Your Chromecast is tracking you just like those Smart tvs... and selling your data just the same.
I think it is a stretch to claim that an article from Time magazine about how four American political consultants helped Boris Yeltson win an election is the same as state-sponsored election hacking and interference. I also don't see how this article is equivalent to the entire US "bragging" about anything.

One involves multiple crimes being committed at state-scale (DNC hack [1], RNC hack [2], identity fraud [3]) the other was a consulting contract.

Every business avoids taxes. The government even adds deductions to help business avoid taxes in ways they want to encourage.

The whole message of “businesses are bad because they don’t give money to the government for no reason” doesn’t really resonate with people who understand taxes.
The police could not exist if most people refused to help them. Arguing for people not to help the police is therefore arguing for the police to stop existing or to become less powerful or less effective.

I take "not helping" to mean not just not developing specialized products that only police can legally use, but also not calling the police in case of crime, not helping them with investigations as witnesses. Where the law permits, not selling them generic products and services (eg food). And where personal circumstances permit, not working for a company that does business with them, deplatforming them, etc.

It's definitely opinion (and I certainly don't spare VB from criticism--it draws more fire than JS in my article!). But I am curious in hearing a bit more about your opinion on JS. Because there are so many pain points in it. So much that someone can write a book about "The Good Parts of JS" and its shortness becomes a meme. Now, TypeScript and other refinements address some issues, but JS certainly makes it easy to write some bad code, especially if you're not an experienced coder. The OOP is particularly clunky. Not to hate on JS--it's wildly successful, but would we really have picked it as a favorite language if it wasn't already built into browsers for scripting?
For a great fiction take on the issue The Waste Tide by Chen Qiufan and recently translated into English by Ken Liu is well worth a read.
Here's another idea to build on top of this. How about isolating that layer which enforces the access control in a manner so that it acts a bridge between multiple fronteds and multiple databases? Now wouldn't that be awesome? Just a thought.
iMessage does not upload your contacts. Don’t claim that uploading/traversing someone’s contact dB is necessary. You only ever need to do a directory lookup when someone messages another person.

So you don’t want a smart TV but you’re okay with Roku - whose CEO said on an interview that their entire business model is selling user data, half the home screen has an ad, and the hard coded buttons on the remote go to highest bidder?

Chromecast is sold by a business whose entire model is collecting user data and selling advertising.

Don’t get me wrong, I love my TCL Roku TVs - I have three. But let’s call a spade a spade. Also, my main one is setup to go directly to the HDMI port used by my AppleTV.
> Clearly it could be added to a botnet

This is why I believe in metered data plans. Certainly not ridiculously expensive ones, but not "unlimited" access either.

If your IoT devices become open relay DDoS machines, it should show up on your bill. I'm convinced it's the only solution that aligns incentives correctly.
New Vizio's are pretty much dumb TVs with built in Chromecasts. Which is exactly what I want. Every Smart TV interface I've used is worse than using my phone as a remote, or Google Home voice commands to control my TV. The experience isn't perfect, but it's pretty good.
As covered in the article [1, paywalled], the binary cell itself consists of two flipflops, each at 6x2 mm², and an optical xor (no dimensions given). So for the time being, most of the space is in the control logic, as would be expected for a first proof of concept. Currently, the answer to your question seems "not very", but if the tech proves to be viable it will certainly attract a lot of further research & funding to minimize it. Compare first proof of concept memory cells vs what followed in the years to come.

Are you upset that Apple is following the law? Those countries are free to tax Apple however much they want.
You have it completely wrong. Bitcoin is intended to be a cryptoCURRENCY meaning in a proper liquid market there should not be any investment potential at all.

An appreciating asset is the exact opposite of a currency. You want your currency to be stable, or slight inflation/devaluation over time, or the consequences are it will never be used to transact.
The problem there is that they'd rather just do everything in software. Hardware kill switches went out of vogue even before THERAC-25.
It could serve as a launching point for further attacks - it's already inside the network, which is sometimes relevant especially in a corporate environment.

It could display ads or install ransomware "send us $10 of bitcoin to be able to watch TV again."
Later in life, Lincoln's son, Robert Todd Lincoln, built a large house called Hildene in southern Vermont that was occupied by descendants into the 1970's. It is maintained as a museum. It's pretty interesting and worth a trip, if you're into that sort of thing. Even my two teenagers found it interesting ;)

Knowing Without Understanding: Our Crisis of Meaning
It's not the development, it's the people that follow it. People aren't complaining that Nashua is turning into Lowell or Leominster, they're complaining that it's turning into Cambridge. I'm sure there's a couple old racists complain about black people or something like that but there's always a few of those people. Most people seem to take much bigger issue with the newcomers lack of respect for individual freedom and property rights more than skin color or social class. People are worried that their culture will be gentrified out of existence. They're worried that in time will no longer be socially acceptable, maybe even illegal to live the way they've live and mostly like living. It's not the "backwards hicks" that are worried about this. It's the white collar professionals who are enduring the terrible commute and double taxation because they like NH for the "do what you want on your own property and nobody cares" factor are who are worried about this.
I get where you are coming from and agree with the sentiment, but disagree on the specifics.

> Every company use different technology and different way to do things

To a small extent, but mostly untrue. If you are an expert UI programmer, you should be able to move between disparate UI technologies relatively easily.

> With a standardize test

People aren't upset with the standardized test part. They are upset it (frequently) tests things that are not relevant. Hard things at that. There are an extensive number of practical, language / framework agnostic questions you can ask about UI or back-end programming that will easily tease out quality candidates. Instead they ask you merge sort. Hence people complain.
They had facebook credits before and they curbed it, so i doubt the social gamers are their target market. But a payment system a-la apple and google pay could be a safeguard for them once their social media stop being so lucrative.
That is not a fair assertion. You might have ignored static analyzers until you've discovered clang, but that observation is not generalizable. As others have already pointed out, lint has been used extensively for decades.
The reason TV manufacturers want to have connected TVs is not to provide utility to the user, but so that they can monetize a user's data. The "smart" part runs recognition software to identify what content you are watching, how long you watch it, records it, uploads it to the manufacturer's service, and then the manufacturer can aggregate it and sell it off. The Verge interviewed Vizio's CEO [0], who stated

> This is a cutthroat industry. It’s a 6-percent margin industry, right? I mean, you know it’s pretty ruthless. You could say it’s self-inflicted, or you could say there’s a greater strategy going on here, and there is. The greater strategy is I really don’t need to make money off of the TV. I need to cover my cost. And then I need to make money off those TVs.

Apple had to directly fight this when they brought their TV app over to smart TVs. It's also why I will never let a TV on my network, and will always use a separate streaming box.

Biphasic and Polyphasic Sleep
No, you received an implied license for the life of the television to operate it as a television. Samsung reserves the right to modify the software on said television as it so chooses.
The sync is controlled from the finder, but the available content is controlled from the TV app.
They're superior to a standalone Roku for ease of use, at least until the hardware goes unsupported which will be a while.

One annoyance with mine using the RokuTV speakers is that speakers drop out and don't maintain a consistent volume level whenever the WAN connection is lost. Something is taking up too much processor time trying to connect to the outside world. The speakers are unfortunately the only way to get AGC in a stereo system because the TV itself can't do it for whatever reason.
No because just like Windows PCs. They operate on small margins and make money by bundling software in the case of consumer Windows PCs or selling viewing data in the case of TVs.
It also looked dilapidated when it was new haha.
You're a little too optimistic, IMO.

Running a website has costs. Even if it can be run by a single person in their spare time, servers and bandwidth costs money.
Wages are NOT stagnant. We are seeing a healthy 3-4% nominal wage growth per year [1]. And unemployment is at 50-year lows, despite "ruthless capitalism".

This article stretches itself to connect opioid crisis with financial crisis, despite the fact that other drugs have taken hold in the past, during financial boom times, like the crack epidemic of the 80s.

As someone who went through bankruptcy 10 years ago, I feel the millennial pain of coming of age in the midst of a deep recession. But, to argue that we have it somehow worse than people who came of age in the 1930s, sandwiched between two devastating world wars, I find it hard to swallow.

At any rate, I think that trends are in the positive direction, for wage growth, economy, etc. and I'm optimistic about the future. There are real challenges with isolation, drug addiction, and debt, but it's ironic to blame capitalism for student debt when these are government-subsidized loans for government schools.

Roku is built into my smart TV, so going non-smart would cost more money than just an HDMI cable. Some TVs have Steam Link built in, so that is another potential cost savings to the consumer. I already have so much stuff plugged in near my TV, I'm not yearning for more at this moment.
