I think this paragraph is worth the article:

We continue to feel incredibly uncomfortable about playing the role of content arbiter and do not plan to exercise it often. Some have wrongly speculated this is due to some conception of the United States' First Amendment. That is incorrect. First, we are a private company and not bound by the First Amendment. Second, the vast majority of our customers, and more than 50% of our revenue, comes from outside the United States where the First Amendment and similarly libertarian freedom of speech protections do not apply. The only relevance of the First Amendment in this case and others is that it allows us to choose who we do and do not do business with; it does not obligate us to do business with everyone.

The Lorentz Force
How about encrypting video with the public key, on the hardware? Then we can have cameras all over the place and finally solve issues like rape, etc. by figuring out what happened. We just need the plaintiff or multiple jury members to agree in writing to subpoena the video and decrypt it. You can use shamir secret key sharing to give the ability to obtain a key to a video.

So basically storing a lot of encrypted video from private areas, and trusting the camera makers to not install a backdoor.

I guess the only thing I don't like about this is that a camera maker can be bribed to create a deepfake to frame some person. Video evidence would be admissible in court only from trusted encrypted-camera makers, until one or two scandals for a camera maker will bring the trust to zero.

Sharing knowledge of illegal activities with strangers shows a complete lack of filter and poor communication skills.

Oh, it runs, all right. But it's rarely well done (pardon the pun): still fit for a computer, but harder for a human to read and understand.
I don't understand why defamation and slander are not classified as a criminal issue.
I totally agree, but many people feel that way, especially if they got into a higher position because they are supposedly more knowledgeable.

A build process is one thing, knowing C++17 or rust is another. Knowing if refactoring all these templates structures was really worth 2 weeks is something that is hard to ask to a junior dev.

Facebook's stance doesn't really matter in the end though. It all depends on how this will be interpreted by a judge, and I have a hard time believing that a European judge would rule in favor of Facebook, since there's no possiblity of confusion for the end user. Also, it is done to protect end-user privacy, which European judges tend to like.

I'm adding European, because that's what the article is about and that's where I'm from. Not sure what would happen in a US court.
Doing it privately just means giving them the opportunity to spin the story in a bad light.

Not a good idea with today's outage society
Ah. I think I know what the problem is here.

I’m based in the UK and it seems Fair Use applies somewhat different here thanks to the Copyrights act in 1988.

We have a fair dealing clause[0] here.

> Certain exceptions only apply if the use of the work is a ‘fair dealing’. For example, the exceptions relating to research and private study, criticism or review, or news reporting.

[0] https://www.gov.uk/guidance/exceptions-to-copyright

Fair dealing comes from the POV I’m trying to get across.

> > I'm not claiming the arguments against your claim are correct - I haven't even watched the video. I'm saying that whether infringement occurred is not a simple matter that can be determined by algorithms

Yeah I somewhat agree with this. I’m pretty sure I said so somewhere (it might have been a slightly different comment thread, apologies if I didn’t make that clear).

The existence of a copyrighted work can be detected by an algorithm (although the accuracy is debatable in some cases). Whether it falls under fair use cannot.

As stated, Fair Use is decided on a case by case basis. But it’s assumed the rights holder is correct in their claim until the court decides.

In any case, before a counterclaim is approved by the court or if the court sided with the rights holder, then black and white copyright law comes into play.

Still, if the content creator took action to avoid including potentially copyrighted material, like everyone else does, then we wouldn’t be having this discussion.

Edit - before you pick up on it, criticism/review is a specific critical review of the work in question. As that doesn’t apply here, news/educational fair dealing then becomes the question. And then all those points I’ve been trying to make come into play. Could he have done things differently? What was the purpose of the content? Etc etc.
Work fast, don't think things through, make mistakes, pay for your haste by spending more time fixing your mistakes than you would have had you thought things through.
Ask HN: What is on your personal checklist for webapp architecture?
When you are writing a web app (or API, or backend for a native app, or other project in the category), what to you make sure to consider for performance, reliability, and security?

Here are a few of mine:

Performance:
* Cache where appropriate
* Use pagination
* Minify scripts, use small images where possible

Reliability:
* make actions idempotent unless I have a reason not to
* write a comprehensive test plan & test suite
* build an easy deployment pipeline

Security
* Use the standard modules and best practices provided by the framework
* enforce connection by https for all pages
* make sure sign in/up/out and recovery options are reasonable.

ScrapydWeb v1.3.0 released Designed for Scrapyd cluster management
As I developer who accidentally climbed the ladder into management (and eventually bailed) I can say that from my own experience it is by sheer force of pressure from non-technical management above oneself.

I fought the management culture hard for a few years, eventually realising that I needed to either become one of them, or quit.

I quit.
> But it does mean, push yourself to go faster than you think is healthy

I really disagree with this. Aiming for something you actually think is unhealthy means you either think you should be working unhealthily ( :( ) or you don't trust your measure of healthy (in which case recalibrate that).
I don't think it is a good idea to replace political discourse with algorithms. You can't just throw up your hands and blame the algorithm when somebody complains to you.

Well, let's be real - there's good diversity and bad diversity. No one says "We need more diversity" and means "At the moment everyone in the office has good hygiene standards, let's bring in someone who smells".

The problem is that "Culture Fit" is often undefined - rarely is it explicit enough for us to say: "Our culture is x,y,z. This person showed this behavior so it's a no".

Although one thing I will say as an interviewer is I've had to reject candidates on "Culture Fit" in the past based on things like "This candidate talks way too much and it's so disruptive and frustrating that I literally can't get through the competency part of the interview". However, there is no way I'm going to feed that back to the candidate- so often Culture Fit is used as a neutral way of rejecting someone.
GDPR needs to be sharpened to state that you can’t even show a different service at all based on consent relating to third party data sharing.

That is: “to give you this service we need to store some info” - OK.

“To give you this service we need to share info with advertisers” - not ok.

That is: you need to be able to provide the service using only non targeted ads if the user wants it.

That will be a NO for me. Beef, bison, and eggs are my favorite.

The premise that food production is causing climate change is wrong. The ship Indiana Harbor, 1,000 ft long, delivers coal from Superior to a power plant near Detroit 2 times a week. It hauls 6 train loads of coal at one time. That power plant receives 3-4 shipments a week. Just one plant...but, cows are the problem...LOL!

Or maybe someone like Google provides an almost free (commission wise) app service for drivers. A bit like providing Android against iOS et al.
If you can implement flat_map [0] for something, it's (probably) a monad. You might as well call monads FlatMappables.

That's the simplest, most understandable and most accurate explanation for an initial intuition I've come up with so far.

Simply a way to insert a converter function between each stage in a good-old-fashioned pipeline

Yes, but more general. Some monad tutorials describe them as "overloading the semicolon." I felt I didn't really understand them until I got the idea of computations as values.

It's much harder to motivate monads in a dynamic language. They were invented to solve problems in Haskell and it is there where they truly shine. Having said that, most of their thunder has been stolen by applicative functors (which generalize monads) these days.

We offer this to our clients in Germany. After eighteen months your company could setup (in order of complexity) a representative office, branch or subsidiary. Or you could pursue one of the self employed models.

> There was no central notification system… no standard Ribbon Menu widget

True, but if MS wanted to, they could have added both to the old ecosystem, without jumping ship.

They had mayor parts of notification system already, Shell_NotifyIcon API from Shell32.dll. They were adding more features to NOTIFYICONDATA structure with every OS version.

They did release ribbon widget; it just took them a few years. Introduced in Office 2007, the widget is from Win7 i.e. 2009: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/windowsribbon...

If you would learn this rigourously like mathematicians do, you learn it trough infinite series and limits. The derivate is defined as limit for the slope when the endpoints of the slope get closer and closer together () Lots of work, proofs are needed to show that this actually works.

Common person or engineer only needs to accept/trust that point in a curve has well defined 'slope' and it's not an approximation.

tl;dr Trust/anxiety

The dynamic goes like this:

1. The manager is responsible for team's output/metrics.

2. Metrics are driven by improvements to the product.

3. Software functionality is hard to estimate (not a widget factory as other comments mention).

4. Manager gets anxious as it will be judged by an outcome not entirely within control.

5. Knowing everyone is putting their best effort increases confidence that team will reach goals by which the manager will be measured.

The manager evaluates team members on longer intervals depending on past performance. This allows the manager to course-correct before the team is evaluated. The seniority/past-performance of a team member determines how much the manager trusts them to spend the team's resources (time; man-hours) to accomplish the team's goals.

The brute force approach to make sure people aren't slacking is watching them work/check-in/report on progress. You can quickly tell if someone isn't putting an effort after a couple of standups/reviews with less-than-expected output or 'yet another excuse'.

As a non-native English speaker, I'm always specially proud when I come up with a pun.

would you trust a robot to look after your aging parents without hurting them?

Having seen how little many humans care about other peoples aging parents under their care, I'm not so sure robots would be a huge step down.

edit: but as others have pointed out, robots will/should be there to help humans do the hard parts of their jobs not completely replace them. So in the future we'll probably see a human and a robot doing what used to take 3-5 humans, not simply a fleet of robots replacing all humans.
