You can be certain that, when this does happen, these considerations will be dealt with. I feel very strongly that this is going to happen. The chance to execute arbitrary code on clients will be too alluring for adtech companies to ignore.
No. That wasn’t what I basically support at all. Thanks for the strawman.

You should absolutely be able to critique anything at all. Are you saying leaking preproduction software against your contract to not do that is a first amendment issue?

I do believe no one has tried to silence his speech, as proven by this post about it. He broke a contract and now isn’t allowed to use their tools.
Good, at least for Europeans. It's good that malware peddlers self identify themselves.
This isn't true. Under California law, PG&E are fully legally liable for any fires caused by their equipment even if they have fully and properly maintained it. This is called "inverse condemnation" and absolutely no negligence is required. (As it happens their maintenance has been rather dubious, but that doesn't affect their legal liability in any way.)

If I remember rightly, the case which set this precedent involved a fuse correctly failing open and managing to set fire to some brush beneath the pole which had grown up in a few months since they'd cleared the entire area around it. There is no maintenance standard they could follow that would protect them from liability; all they can maybe hope to do is decrease the number of fires and the consequent costs somewhat.
I downvoted him because what he said isn't true.
In this case the author's background is "PhD in Mathematics at Dartmouth College, Master of Arts in Teaching Mathematics at Smith College, and BA in Anthropology at Bard College."

With that background I wouldn't expect expectise in programming or programming language history. It seems like the latter is actually sort of an actual academic field, albeit a bit small.

"hey car, find lunch" And so on throughout the day, before letting the car drive another 8 hours while I sleep and waking up in time for breakfast at my in-laws.
> Or, to be more precise, you'll able to "buy" the game alright, but what you're buying is just access to the game on a streaming service, not an actual copy.

Which, to be fair, is also the desired effect of something like Steam. If Valve turns off your account, you lose access to all the games you've bought.

The last resort of tricking the DRM to retain access to the stuff you "own" is only possible due to the technical limitations that mandate distribution of the files to a user's local system. I'm sure publishers would love to be able to just stream blobs, making this type of thing much more difficult.

This looks like an Oauth2-like pin code flow. My guess is it’s doing this because Roku are requiring logged in users to access the software. This isn’t unheard of. I’d argue that it’s highly beneficial.

But if this is the main OS of the TV, and this is a requirement to use external inputs. Then fuck this.

I think my Sony Android TV allowed me to skip user login during setup. I might be wrong because I logged in then subsequently put it on my “Internet of Shit” VLAN, where all the other terrible crap goes.

Killing civilians is unfortunate and mistake. However it's controversial because the views of the leaders of a nation is quite different from average people that there are costs and risks you cannot avoid to protect more civilian death. Logically that's a legitimate claim. In statistics majority of killed were terrorists. i.e. the killing is quite effective and accurate.

The real flaw of the strategy is fundamental misunderstanding of root cause and how human society works. Killing didn’t reduce the capability of the terrorists. The growth of terrorists out paste target drone killing numbers. Killing cause more growth. That’s why US eventually talk to Taliban. The failure is on another level not accuracy of drone target killing.
Exactly. They were told to shut off the power, they get blamed for shutting off the power.

What's the minimum residency time to reliably detect problems with my PR? Add deployment time, double to account for jitter caused by humans being humans (forgetful, lunch, meetings, etc), and there probably are not enough hours in the day for 1000 people to be deploying the same monolith.

To increase residency time you can deploy separate units (You can have multiple deployment units even in a monorepo), and those also reduce the surface area of merges.

Honestly what are they doing with 1000 developers? Duplicated effort goes up considerably with a team and codebase of that size. If you forced me to hire that many people, I'd have a lot of them working on open source, trying to steward feature enhancements that help our process. Because otherwise they'd be running around writing proprietary versions of a bunch of shit that already exists and in a better more documented form.

It's true, the last TV I bought was a dumb 55" that I got for maybe $480. It was hard to find though, and it was a model a few years old at the time. Incidentally I got it from Best Buy. But absolutely, try to find a new TV with top end display tech without smart features? Nigh impossible, unless you pony up for a commercial display.
I noticed that too. It's like bad, stylized clip-art. They even have an image of a real one further down the article.

GDPR makes it very difficult to touch user's private data for commercial purposes. that's the whole business of a SN so this is kind of precluded

It's not "impossible." It might be difficult, but good customer service always is. I'm not sure why I should take Apple's side just because providing decent service for a fabulously profitable global corporation can be tricky.

I'm well aware of the fact that the author lives in the US which has been and is still involved in numerous cases of human rights violations and oppression of entire countries worldwide. But the article is excellent. While China's foreign policy hasn't been as oppressive as the US so far, locally they are implementing Orwell's 1984 with precision. It is fucking disgusting.

I loved that they kept the Soviet Union around and put that giant Atari advertisement in.

Whether or not the content is interesting is completely irrelevant.

If the journalist signs a Terms of Service agreement and then violates the agreement they are breaking the contract and Apple has every right to end the Service. If he legally acquired and published info without signing a TOS then the info is fair game. Retaliation would be suing him for the disclosures. Ending the Service is just standard operating procedure.

I enjoy the writing and he seems like a really nice and capable guy. Nonetheless, he promised not to do something and then appears to have done it anyway. We don't yet know if his account is suspended because of this, but if so, it happened due to his own choices.

Also, the reason his content is widely read and is interesting is not because he has some unique ability. There are lots of people who could do the kind of system/app spelunking he does. However, other people follow the TOS associated with the access. It would appear that he has chosen to violate the agreements and that has enabled him to produce content that is unique. Frankly, Apple has been very patient so far.

I feel for him on a personal level, but if he violated the TOS then there is no controversy here. Every developer access agreement I have ever seen from many different companies has clear TOS relating to non-disclosure of proprietary info.

Another interesting angle is that if he is violating the TOS, he may have also jeopardized his employer's access to Apple developer programs.

On the other hand, maybe this is all just a snafu...

Sure, unless they actually want the information. So you'd' have to choose which outcome would be better for you and / or your cause. But that's the point, at least you'd still get to choose.

You left out one major player: investors. Investor owned utilities like PG&E are considered a rock solid place to put your retirement funds to get a predictable rate of return. As an investor with a short term perspective, I'd be very opposed to PGE reducing or eliminating my dividend in order to fund safety and fire maintenance, i.e. give me the money now, fires be damned. If I'm giving up a dividend, I'd rather invest in a growth stock.

It's not just the dividends. It's the $100 million from their safety budget that they blew on executive compensation. There's also the hundreds of millions of dollars annually that PG&E is spending on stock buybacks every year.

California is a matchbox, and barring major changes in energy generation and distribution technology and infrastructure to lower the risk, it will be risky to deliver electricity here no matter who is providing it, be that PGE or a hypothetical state owned utility. The benefit of the latter is that it is freed from the financial obligation to investors, and can focus on safety and delivery.

It's risky to deliver electricity anywhere. PG&E is reckless and dishonest above and beyond the norm.
I know it is different for everyone and this is a side thread but I felt that for a while I was just trying to follow money and my career was about tech giving me money no matter where.

I always enjoyed tech but couldn't connect to the businesses in a bigger level than it is a job and I want it to succeed.

I then ended up in visual effects for big projects and it is incredible how excited / passionate I am about it despite the tech. The tech is just a means to solve issues in an efficient way so that the movies can happen but...

The creative process, the digital artists, the work they do and the lives these creations touch is truly incredible. They are all so passionate as well.

An artist told me the story on how some mother had hers autistic children talking for the first time with a digital creature he created. He always tears up on this story and how his digital creature gave emotions to this mom.

I don't pursue money anymore, in fact I have declined interviews with companies saying they would double my salary. There's more to life than money and tech for tech's sake.
> because from the beginning his sole goal was having access to a cheap workforce, and damned the rest.

Uh. His goals were to further American interests in Cold War geopolitics and increase his personal stature as a statesman. Friendly American relations with Chinese Communists put more pressure on Soviet Communists.

Free trade has nothing to due with it. You're forgetting that Nixon went to China in 1972, but the Chinese economy didn't start opening up until 1978 under Deng (and long after Nixon).

> I wouldn't consider that "piracy", and certainly at the launch of the DVD player it wasn't considered piracy either.

It was definitely treated like piracy at the time (if for no good reason other than that DVD distributors demanded that it be treated like piracy.) At the consumer level it wasn't at all criminal, but pressure on retailers was pretty absolute. You had to shop at weird stores to get out of region DVDs or region-free players, or be in the know about how to hack mainstream models.

It was notable that amazon began to ship you DVDs from other regions the more international it became. It was the most mainstream place that I had seen that would do that.

Ignoring the region code didn't enable DVD piracy (like for example putting a modchip in your Playstation enabled game piracy while allowing you to play games from other regions) so the industry didn't have an argument that would aid them in making region code violation an actual crime.
Optimal is nice aggression: push forward for the goal in the nicest way possible, and resort to more confrontational style only when absolutely necessary.
That hasn't been an issue for years. People know to ask for a % of the gross rather than the net. It helps that almost every creative position in Hollywood is protected by a union.
The article doesn't explain one thing - what is Roku TV? I tried googling but the first result is the Facebook Portal device, and then their own website says it's a Hisense TV?
Tech companies in general have beaten low standards and mediocrity into people's heads. Not only are they okay with using these products, they now try to recreate the same low bar set by the greater industry.

Facebook should be destroyed.

That may be true, but are there any less biased and more neutral experts on the economy to turn to, or do we just throw up our hands and say that no one knows anything about the economy and thus all opinions are equally valid?

When Emma and I started Moonlight two years ago, remote work was still a new concept. We figured it out the hard way while freelancing and traveling. Since then, we've seen remote become more mainstream and successful. But questions still remain - what makes a company remote? How do you get a remote job? How do you manage a remote team?

To answer these questions and more, we wrote the Remote Work Encyclopedia! Our goal is to help more companies take advantage of the new, global development market, and to educate knowledge workers on how to ditch the office for a more flexible career. We started the book - but open-sourced it so that everybody can contribute [1].

Take a look, and let me know how we can improve it!
