From the original twitter blogpost:

> we propose defining synthetic and manipulated media as any photo, audio, or video that has been significantly altered or fabricated in a way that intends to mislead people or changes its original meaning.

'meme' is pretty broad so if it's literally just a screenshot of a faked tweet then Yes it would fall under this rule based on the broad language they are using. BUT I think that's still a good thing as long has the label/warning is unobtrusive yet at the same time it needs to not be used on every meme/image since then it would loose it's effect.

I'm very curious how they are going to differentiate between normal image mashups (memes, etc.) and false information alterations at least without human oversight.

The blog post has a survey for feedback so I encourage everyone to leave some since this most likely impacts everyone at least indirectly.

Those are things Apple provides for its users' sake, not for developers. The amount I should have to pay to allow users to run my app on their machines, is and always has been ZERO.

I hope that's all that happens. My worry is that middleboxes will start to depend on it, and any implementation which doesn't spin it "correctly" (where "correctly" is defined by the middlebox vendor, not the standard) will be blocked.
Netflix's infrastructure is probably drastically simpler and easier to build. They don't have any of the problems that make caching hard: few/no consistency challenges, and they probably can fit their entirely library in a single server's RAM.
In other words, "I dislike that name, as it doesn't fit the One True Way Of Naming. Here's a Real(tm) name for you." How very nice of you /s

Or, as the article says, "39. People whose names break my system are weird outliers. They should have had solid, acceptable names, like 田中太郎."
I'm a little confused. Do they exert creative control over things that are submitted for notarization? I was under the impression that only apps submitted for the App store are "reviewed", while notarization is a fully automated process that only does a basic malware check. I do think that charging $100 for access to notarization is preposterous, but it's not the same as having to submit to App Store guidelines.
> I don't see the logic in this, even though it seems to be supportive of my concerns.

The way I interpret it is that if you remove everything but the lowest common denominator, to achieve the "ultimate unity" of everybody being the same, picking their ideas from small selection on the same shelves, if you will, we'll be faced with ever growing problems we don't have the means to handle, not even the language to adequately describe. We won't physically die, of course, but what makes human agency and spontaneity possible, very well might.

But I can't speak for her, I found the passage interesting but nothing before or after it elaborates on it, and so far I haven't read any other elaboration by her on that (or I did but didn't realize it was connected).

@dang, is there perhaps a loophole in protection against coordinated flagging? While one might argue that the original comment sounded a bit conspirological, the comments mentioning Uyghurs were not breaking any guidelines or doing anything deserving to be flagged.

Also remember how there were widely reported rumors that Apple had canceled the entire project a little while back, which made no sense given that this is the future of computing and every big tech company has been investing heavily for years.

Given the wild swings of rumors (launching 2020! Canceled! Launching 2023!) it’s almost like Apple is deliberately seeding the market with leaks in order to confuse its real intent. Which would be smart.

My guess with no insider information is they launch smartglasses in 2020 or 2021. First version may not have optical display but still does something cool with a camera.

My reasoning is basically,

1) Snapchat spectacles are getting closer to normal glasses, all you need to do is miniaturize those ridiculous bug eyed lenses

2) ergo Apple needs to get in the market with something fashionable and useful before someone else steals their lunch

2022 is too late, IMO.
> When we were visiting Yahoo to talk about being acquired, we had to interrupt everything and borrow one of their conference rooms to talk down an investor who was about to back out of a new funding round we needed to stay alive. So even in the middle of getting rich we were fighting off the grim reaper.

This sounds like it was pulled directly from an episode of Silicon Valley.
However sometimes it feels like it is being hijacked. Sometimes it feel that the main experience is "sharing a picture", rather than having an experience (view, sound, smell, all senses plus emotions) and then trying to share it with pictures. Sometimes it feels that people are too focused on being the directors of their lives rather being the (ad-lib) actors.
The gamification and addiction-inducing practices of certain social media probably has something to do with this trend. This, I think, is the generational thing.

Original lead designer of the game here.

Richard's recollection is flawed on this (he wasn't close enough to the tech to know why it failed).

Reason #1: the closed loop fell victim to hoarding, particularly because the advancement system encouraged the production of goods with no value, as explicated in great detail in Zach Booth Simpson's detailed paper on "The In-Game Economics of Ultima Online."

Paper: https://web.archive.org/web/20090207141813/https://www.mine-...

Reason #2: the cost of pathfinding for the searches was too great. The Sims later solved this by having the agents in a very similar system use simple hillclimbing, with resources broadcast into a map.
"Apple is in the same position as everyone else”

Not by a wide margin. They have a reputation of paying for the development of unusual/new production methods, and the bank account to go with it.

For example, ‘everybody’ can think “I’ll use CNC milling machines to make by laptop bodies”, but few have the perseverance and the money to perfect that at scale.

If there is a display that’s even a quarter good, they will be willing to spend millions or even billions, to perfect it and work on manufacturing it at scale.
Allow me to answer this question for you: As a Black man in tech (my skin crawls every time I have to make this clear i n these types of discussions because I absolutely DESPISE identity politics) I would answer the same. There, you have an answer from someone who's opinion carries more weight in this context because of the color of my skin. Also, Canada's great grandparent comment was less hyperbolic than yours.
What were you using for DHCP? I'm no Sonos engineer but that sounds like it might been network level rather than DNS. I have pi-hole doing DHCP as well and created DHCP reservations for my Sonos speakers just to be safe (although it isn't necessary and I never had issues when they were regular DHCP clients of my ISPs router).

Clearly, having 0 work hours in common with the rest if the team is a problem. But what if you have at least 2-3 hours per day? You can already discuss a lot of things during that time.

I get that asynchronous does not always work, but it has some benefits, especially for tasks such as architecturing an app. I'd be worried if such discussions would happen only in an oral fashion, or in chat channels.
This is basically the fitness industry as it exists today.
I think they might have been referring to needing to type the whole thing again. Back in the typewriter days, I remember drafting papers on pen and pencil until I was read, and then typing it out; occasionally switching to white out ribbons to fix mistakes. Word processors changed a lot of that, and big high school we could all type our papers in Word97 or Corel WordPerfect and print them out; no intermediate steps.

I suppose with a typewriter today, you could still just OCR the result using an old scanner you can pick up at a garage sale or thrift store for nothing, if you didn't want to re-type everything by hand.

R.R. Martin has said he still uses and old word processor with Word Star on it, to have fewer distractions. He transfers things over via floppy disk.

They are right. It's their property.

Those of us who aren't happy with this should pay for Vimeo or use some other way to host our vids, but it's easier to moan and ask the government to force YouTube to do as we please, than to do take responsibility for our content.

Although I have been too lazy to address YouTube annoyances at least I have not been calling for government coercion and violation of YouTube shareholders' property rights.
>I used to work with someone who was good at handwaving away why his work was falling behind, and the management believed him.

So you had a management issue rather than a worker issue.
I would read the recent book. Competition really started in the mid-1990s (and quant funds existed way before that point), and Renaissance actually picked up steam far later than everyone else (and had trouble raising capital because everyone thought the space was already tapped out).

Btw, the point to investing isn't an absolute level of knowledge but relative knowledge. If you keep moving ahead because you are smarter then you will keep outperforming. The view of most investors, not just in quant, is: I went to X university, I am very smart, anyone who does better than me is cheating/insider trading/committing fraud/etc. But the majority of people won't outperform regardless of "intelligence".

AHL has been doing quant for nearly four decades now, they only hire the elite, they even have their own quant finance institute at Oxford...results? Still shit because it isn't as easy as just hiring a ton of "intelligent" people. For some reason, smart people tend to believe that the real world is like university or government where success is achieved by other people thinking you are smart...it isn't like that. Obtaining results is the combination of many things (i.e. most quant firms churn and burn employees, most quant firms have trouble retaining staff, etc.).
It depends on what audience you're aiming for. People seem to do well on Instagram or TikTok, for short and extra short videos I suppose. Not sure how well IGTV is doing but it seems successful to me so far, based on my impressions using IG. It could be a viable competitor for YouTube.
I wanted to see it work too; I bought one! But in retrospect I think it's clear that it was a product that was about 10 years before its time. Once it was possible to build something (iPhone) about 5x smaller, about 10x faster, with about 100x the connectivity, and about 10x the display resolution, that's when it really took off.
I've been that guy before, at my first serious early-stage, well-funded startup.

The founders and executive team completely fucked it up. They kept hiring crappy/unmotivated people, prioritizing growing the team in quantity over quality, and with every added mediocre head it only amplified the morale drag when I'd be delivering huge progress after multi-day sleepless sprints while everyone else was barely getting anything done in the 9-5 office productivity theatre of standups and meetings.

I started absolutely dreading coming to the office after completing one of my kamikaze sprints. The VP of Eng had established this twisted pattern of holding a standup the moment I leisurely walked in the door at whatever hour I happened to make it in after not being seen for days, which for over a year was the weekly norm. Everyone in engineering would have little to nothing to say about their progress, and I'd drop another mother lode. It just made everyone else feel inferior, and I started to increasingly abhor their lack of progress and feel like I was the only person actually taking the opportunity seriously enough to make an effort.

It culminated in my abrupt departure three years in. And for years afterwards they failed to deliver any major new features successfully. Burned through many more millions of dollars, before eventually going bankrupt.

My mistake was not leaving earlier. That experience left such an awful taste in my mouth I've basically never made that level of sacrifice of my own life/time at another company since.

Edit:

To clarify, the hard lesson I learned at this job was that no amount of individual contribution can save a sinking ship. This particular experience was 15 years ago, and I've worked at numerous startups since, some with successful exits. I haven't seen any correlation between the amount of my contribution and the likelihood of a successful exit, absolutely none. Surely this is different for founders, but I haven't gone down that road yet. What I have seen however is some companies are far more dysfunctional than others, and the best thing you can do is learn to identify them quickly and RUN, the opportunity cost is too great.

I’m not fluently bi-lingual but this is my go-to answer whenever someone’s asked me how to say a certain thing in English, when they’re writing or figuring out how to talk to someone else. My questions usually would be:

1. How would you say it in [original language?]. This is on the off-chance I know what they’re talking about, or can reasonably guess. Sometimes this is good enough that they get what they want out of it. Also, I get to learn a little bit more of their language, if it’s one that I’ve also learned a bit about :)

2. What are you trying to say/what’s the context? This is to get around the X/Y problem, because usually the question isn’t so simple.

It’s rare to have a straight up, correct answer the moment someone asks how to translate. And if it does come up so easily, they were already speaking good English in the first place. Just needed the vocab.
Yet in reality, nobody actually needs a name that's sorted by surname: that's a holdover from paper phone books. We have search, and we have stable sorting algos. Every requirement "sort by surname" I've ever seen turned out to mean "sort the names in a predictable way, btw this is the way we always did that, because we always did that."

(Yes, familiarity is a part of UX; but do note that this one specifically is a historical, not intrinsic, motivation)

Dumb question - as a dev on OSX (not yet migrated to Catalina), I compile and run my own code all the time. I also install a ton of binaries, like the Rust installation manager.

Would I see any issue here? I suspect everything I write or "install" via curl/bash/etc will be fine. Eg, if it's a downloaded binary in my $PATH, I expect it to continue to work.

So if that's the case.. why is Apple being so harsh about all of this? I feel like malware will just move to curl scripts and all Apple succeeded at was making normal Apps more difficult to develop.

I imagine some might argue that users will be somewhat informed, and will know not to run stuff in a Terminal. Cool.... but, how many times have we seen non-technical folks run stuff in the Windows command prompt? They can be walked through a malware installation process a thousand times over.

So is Apple going to lock the entire platform down? Are they going to limit my ability to run binaries? My own and others? Because if they don't, this all feels pointless. And if they do, i'l _be forced_ to switch to Linux.

I don't like you these days Apple. What is wrong with you.

The one thing that's been proven time and time again, building a new community from the outcasts of a larger mainstream community does not end with a high quality community.

If you're worried about the power tech companies have gained, and you're using that as the sole reason to build a new community, it's not going to become something better. If you want to compete with Youtube, You have to have something that is fundamentally more appealing on a mainstream level than their product.
> Is it too much to ask that tech journalists proof read their articles before hitting publish?

Yes.
I wholeheartedly agree with the techniques others are recommending for improving the situation, but at the same time I think you should look for ways to cope with what you have as you make the transition.

I would best be considered a mid-level manager with 3-5 additional projects to tackle at any given time, and I face this problem on many different scales. Best case, I'm trying to get longer tasks done, and the longest uninterrupted intervals I can get are about 20 minutes. Other days, I need to complete 3 minute tasks and the longest uninterrupted time I can get is about 40 seconds. In either case, I outline the things I need to get done so that I can track where I am and quickly be reminded after an interruption. If the list ridiculously overflows the time in my day, I go further by writing down the priority order to make sure I don't lose track of that important detail. From there, I tend to get into sticky notes: when I'm interrupted, I write myself a note sufficiently detailed to quickly resume after the expected duration of the interruption. When people come to me with non-immediate concerns, those go on sticky notes to address when I'm not in the middle of things (or it can just stay in email if you're excellent at controlling and addressing your inbox). All sticky notes get addressed or stored before I leave. The handwritten aspect is important because sticky notes take up space, and each additional transfer of them takes time vs CTRL+V.

It's far less enjoyable than having a block of time to focus with minimized task-switching overhead, but maybe it can help you return some of your work to your actual workday while you improve the situation around you.
> Later during a calibration, the signals and the evidences are presented to the interviewing peer group (recruiter, hiring managers, interviewers from other rounds), and pretty much disallows for any unconscious bias such as "I don't think Alice would be a good team lead (because she is a woman, and woman are not good managers), or "We should not hire Amit (because he is an Indian, and Indians write poor code").
