Technically you didn't buy a Norton Antivirus, you entered into a license agreement. Software is, unfortunately, almost always leased and not bought. However, I would very much be into forcing companies to either a) keep their service running forever, or b) allow the user to use a third-party service - in this case, virus definitions. This is in line with my comment elsewhere in the thread - companies should be allowed to either a) sell a product that doesn't require a service, and if it uses a service, it should support compatible third-party services as well, or b) lease the product as a part of a service. They should explicitly be banned from selling a product that requires their particular service to function.

As for Sony, PS1 games and on-line: similarly, whatever middleware there is that facilitates on-line gaming, endpoints should be user-configurable. Fortunately, at least PS1 the device doesn't require Internet to run.

(Come to think of it, did PS1 even support an Internet connection?)
This has nothing to do with build process, this has everything to do with the expectation that a project will continue to exist and put out new releases. All out builds at work, in fact, are offline. We check in tarballs and we don't access the internet. That has nothing to do with whether I can tell my boss in good faith, allow me to submit a patch upstream and it'll be worthwhile to the company and we won't have to carry local patches. Right now I can say that. Why would we want to get rid of that?
Any home relies on some external service to function at all was dumb to begin with. People need to stop buying these gadget/service combination things.
What’s worse in this case vs. the already known issues of facial recognition by law enforcement is that this private company has the ability to monitor law enforcement on who they investigate. But still does this in a secretive fashion. So it’s not even about trusting LEO with this, it’s trusting yet another completely unregulated party.

This opens up a whole new can of worms with issues like selling this info back to the victim.

Big companies often have code escrow agreements to cover that exact problem.

The advantage of them is pretty theoretical since you don't really want to become responsible for someone else's code drop, but that's not any different with open source.
> We don't build new cities way far away in the middle of nowhere, because building new cities is expensive

At some point it has to be cheaper than upgrading infrastructure for ever-growing cities and implementing all kinds of harmful artificial restrictions e.g. on traffic just to support increasing population numbers in exiting metro areas.

> there's no jobs in the middle of nowhere.

Many factories are in the middle of nowhere and I don't see why one couldn't build and fill office space when cheap attractive housing and well-planned infrastructure is available nearby.

The reason why don't do it is more likely because most western countries have become stagnant and inefficient at large projects.
Butasando looks like some kind of food but it doesn't seem to be well know, this discussion already seems to be on third place on Google for the word.
> Someone reported a soundness bug.

Your description starts off on the wrong foot because a) there was no bug, and b) although the library used unsafe code extensively, its maintainer argued that was not a problem and that didn't meant the code was unsafe.

So in the end we only have issues being reported by opinionated users trying to force their personal opinions on a project maintainer, who due to the content and tone of said issue reporters decided not to accept the reports or patches. Once some bad apples in the community started to increase the unpleasantness of the whole experience, the maintainer said enough is enough.
Decentralization is a good thing for a comprehensive transit system. One major issue that most cities have is that everybody goes to the same place every morning and leaves in the evening. That means you have incredible amounts of crowding for four hours per day in only one direction. It leads to an immense amount of overcapacity. If you have multiple job centers, it allows better use of existing stock.

Additionally, LA is the densest metro area in the US.

Well, this makes sense, because nobody buys a van every year. It would be more interesting to see the total amount of vans purchased in the country and how many of them are 2010 models, 2000 models, 1990 models, etc.

If an electric van can reduce operating costs by several orders of magnitude, it might make sense for fleet owners to switch over ASAP. Especially if their competitors do it first.

Along with atomic mass (7 for lithium, 19 for potassium)

This means that for a given number of atoms, a K battery will store less energy and be significantly heavier than an Li battery.

So maybe if it's cheaper that's okay for fine for stationary power (backup generators etc)

But for mobile uses (cars, boats, planes) lithium is much better.
But he already paid for the ink, right?

So Apple Music seems like a bad comparison. If you stop paying for Apple Music, you lose access to the service that provides the music. In an apples to apples comparison, this would mean that he no longer has access to the service that provides the ink. But that is not what happened. HP reached out and inactivated a physical product that had already been delivered to him.

For an accurate comparison, say you signed up for a subscription of laundry soap through Amazon. Later, upon cancelling your subscription, Amazon not only cancelled your subscription service, but they reached out and (magically) mechanically sealed your last container of laundry soap, even though you had paid for it via the subscription cost.

This isn't the same as passively turning off a service. This is actively breaking something that someone already paid for.

Am I missing something?
As a side hustle it reminds me a bit of the parcel reception service that a lot of shops in France and elsewhere do. Very useful for Amazon etc if you’re not at home. I’ve always wondered if they’re paid for it, or do it for free Hoping it will bring customers. Probably half way between
Why so many things cost exactly zero
Just a small additional comment - if a company creates an environment that encourages community then they will keep women. I was lucky to work at two companies like this - Xerox and early Apple. I don't think they set out to create a family friendly environment. They were trying to have an environment that encouraged creativity. They were part of the zeitgeist of the Bay Area. It just happened to also be family friendly. Those days are gone (sadly).

In that case you are the first trying to solve a problem, thus creating a new market.

What I meant is that I notice a herd mentality in VCs.

Particularly in Vacation Rentals there's many problems waiting to be solved and yet it seems everyone is trying to solve the same ones.
Well sure.

That's exactly why I encourage people to think about it.

It's a delusion to believe random strangers owe you anything (beyond basic compassion and curtesy) and you'll continue to be unhappy until you let go of that delusion.

Apparently a number people believed this developer worked long hours on this project (for free) because they were obligated to do so. Not only was that incorrect, it seems to have contributed to the dev leaving the project since some people felt justified in making rude (and sometimes angry) demands.

Thinking about it is important because when you do, you can see there's no reason at all to believe that the dev would put in a lot of work for free to maintain a project while continuously receiving abuse from a reddit mob while doing so.
Using jammers is illegal without proper permits, I'd assume that government would authorize Heathrow to jam drones. The only illegal activity is by the person flying the drone whom they want to locate and arrest. If the jamming results in the drone crashing, well, that's not an issue - it would be also completely reasonable to directly destroy the drone by physically shooting it out of the air where it should not be.
Not sure on the current state of things on the recruiting side but it was tried at Amazon. I don’t see any reason why they wouldn’t run it again (if they aren’t already) if they can solve some of the problems discussed https://www.reuters.com/article/us-amazon-com-jobs-automatio...

Hi,

I'm Cody's co-founder. That is literally the origin of Bounce. "Bounce" your things away from you and back to you when you need them again. As mentioned it obviously comes with a host of challenges that you don't have in the current decentralised and static model - but I do believe it's achievable.

Dredd, while an excellent movie in general, really was a very good example of 3D cinema. I attribute it to the way the slo-mo effect reset the 3D perception in my mind.

I remember going to see one of the Abrams Star Trek movies in 3D and at the start on some technicolour planet someone throws a spear at the screen and I’d say most of the audience tried to physically dodge it. Thereafter I forgot about the 3D effect and my brain adjusted.

In Dredd, every time there is a scene where someone inhales the slow-mo drug the brightness of the scene increases dramatically. It restarted that part of the brain that made me want to dodge that spear.
Give me a break. You're very interested in physiology etc and yet you don't know what the hygiene hypothesis is and have to ask?

Look: all of these things, like high IQ correlating positively (and not negatively) with health are well established in the field, starting over a century ago with Terman. If you really had investigated these things as extensively and diligently as you claim, you would not need to ask me for links, and you would not respond to my mention of specific very well-known paradigms by asking for links. You need links on the hygiene hypothesis or on the standard light-based theories of myopia...? Assuming you had somehow never heard of these, you are unable to search for it yourself? Really?

No, I'm not going to waste my time digging up 101-level references for you; if you want to debate on these topics, get yourself up to speed so you understand the basics like why Karspinski et al do not dare to attempt to claim ill-health in the normal range and claim it's only at the extremes, and you know all the things that they leave out but everyone in the field knows perfectly well which is why they regard Karpinksi as steaming bullshit.

> To be clear, the claim I'm questioning is that IQ-measured intelligence is genetically determined and immutable (and correlated with race), and I'm pointing out one example of evidence that factors other than genetics also seem relevant, sometimes in surprising ways.

If savantism does not boost intelligence as opposed to narrow skills, then it does not serve as a counterexample and is simply a non sequitur. Obviously.
No worries. For some reason I personally prefer NetBeans and Eclipse to IntelliJ, that's why I appreciate that you stick with plain Java and Maven instead of Kotlin and Gradle :-)

>Is it really true that collecting only anonymous, stateless data has the same value as stateful, identifiable data?

Value to whom?

>What kind of insights do we lose? Is it simply just advertisers who lose, or will we also lose other things?

Who is "we"? Who gets to collect that data, control access to it, etc? How do they get it? Who would lose other things in the absence of that data collection?

>For example, if I can track your path around a city, wouldn’t I be able to make better predictions about traffic then if I could only track the aggregated count of locations that had been visited over the course of a time period?

Maybe, but that doesn't mean I want you tracking me.

What I'm against is this idea that X is okay as long as X is expensive, but the moment X becomes cheap, or democratized, or accessible, all of a sudden it's a problem, and we need a ban.

Example: it's already legal to keep tabs on people in public. There are businesses build on this idea, private investigators. A little sleazy? Expensive? Sure. But legal. If you want to be consistent, you should ban them too.

If X is what causes harm, X should be disallowed no matter the price.
That's a myth. Streetcars were never profitable, and were built as a way to get to new development that the streetcar owners were building. Once there was no land left to develop in Southern California, the streetcars became a cost center. Once the interstate highway system was built with taxpayer money and the great depression ended giving everybody enough money to buy their own cars, it was simply a matter of time.
In the 90s Bose speakers used to be the thing for upper middle class men. They used to proudly show off their systems when you visited their houses. Is this still the case?

It applies to copyright, patent, and trademarks, the three major areas of IP rights. There are some subtleties with each one, but it most definitely applies.
> They're referring to the maintainer's conscious decision to reject a patch made in good faith, that fixed the issues that had been pointed out.

You're misrepresenting the problem. There was never a bug or an issue, only a bunch of opinionated and vocal users who thought that bullying a maintainer is an acceptable way to get him to accept their patches. The maintainer rejected the bullies' actions and in turn the bullies ramped up their attacks, which ultimately convinced the maintainer that closing up shop is the best way to stop having to deal with these bullies.

At Google machine learning was was always used for vetting the 100k+ applications per year that the HR team just doesn't have time to go through.

The main goal was to filter people who have the biggest chance to go through the human interviews later in the process.

The only reason why it's called ,,AI'' now is because it's trendy. It can be just a simple linear model that takes education (University) and GPA score into account.

The simplest way to skip these filters is to get a reference from a person who already works at the company.

I think you didn't read far enough... (See aliens questions later on)

That having been said, I think it's fascinating that most of these questions are just that, but are impossible to answer at present. The probability space is just too large. It's one of the fascinating aspects of go. It's a very simple set of mathematical rules that yields incredibly complex behavior and is practical impossible to brute force "perfect" gameplay as a result. I.e. you can't search the full space, you have to learn to predict optional strategies and always wonder if there isn't a better solution somewhere.
No mention of PSL timeit? https://docs.python.org/3/library/timeit.html

Also, quote from the timeit page:

> Note: It’s tempting to calculate mean and standard deviation from the result vector and report these. However, this is not very useful. In a typical case, the lowest value gives a lower bound for how fast your machine can run the given code snippet; higher values in the result vector are typically not caused by variability in Python’s speed, but by other processes interfering with your timing accuracy. So the min() of the result is probably the only number you should be interested in. After that, you should look at the entire vector and apply common sense rather than statistics.
I didn't say that Gradle demanded IntelliJ.

The DMV is less selling it, than people are requesting the DMV records as part of a Government transparency program, and the DMV is applying a service charge to it. They have made this service available for decades.

It’s good in that it’s the government providing transparency into the records they hold, and allowing them to be corrected. It’s bad in that it’s a big treasure trove of data for companies or individuals who want to mis-use it.
Well, people still might find out if a whistleblower leaked info about the program, but that's becoming less and less likely as mistreatment and persecution of whistleblowers has been normalized under the canard, "Well, you have to face the music when you leak classified info."

Joel Spolsky: Fire and Motion
Taxation as a punishment or as a way to stop people from doing something is does not work.

One main reason: People actually pay the tax. So now, the government has an additional revenue stream, they villify the thing being taxed just enough to justify the tax but they still want the revenue stream.

Fossil fuel tax? Cigarette tax? Alcohol tax? Look at app the things people have stopped using/doing...

The Cobra effect is the term used to describe this logical fallacy. [1]

When you tax something, you are giving it legitimacy. You're saying:"Not only is this activity legitimate and socially acceptable, for the right to enjoy this activity, you need to pay the government that is enabling you to enjoy this right"

Solutions:

1) Make a law that lets employees sue companies (class action),where the executive pay gap relative to cost of living and value of skill/work (things the plantiff has to prove) can be used to estimate lost wages

2) Make it a felony (wage theft). Provided, the standard of living for any employee (or employees of contractors and vendors) fail to make an income that is N% lower than any other employee/exec.

He paid for a service that allows him to print X pages per month. As part of that service, HP provides ink cartridges so you can actually print those pages. He cancelled that service, so he can't use the ink provided for that service anymore. If the service was "we'll send you an ink cartridge every X months", then it'd be different. (One clear sign that the X pages are really the thing offered, outside the contract language: it doesn't matter what you print. If you print only full-page photos, you use a lot more ink than someone only printing letters, but for either HP will supply ink cartridges as needed)

To take your laundry soap example: You haven't subscribed to laundry soap, you've subscribed to a "2 washes per week" service, as part of which Amazon supplies you the soap you need for those washes. If you stop paying for that, you can't use the supplied material for more washes.
When I print once a year, and the heads dry out before each job, and then the printer dies completely one day after the normal warranty period, do I stil just pay the minimum monthly fee and receive all the replacement e-waste for free, or are there other charges (like buying a new printer?). Does HP pay the recycling fees (and buy carbon offsets) for waste stream this produces?

This is exactly my usage pattern for printers, and why I switched to a laser printer.
Yes, the Slo-Mo effects were mesmerizing. In 2D they were pretty (despite depicting sometimes extraordinarily violent scenes, though I think this was a deliberate commentary by the filmmakers). But in 3D they had the uncommon quality of being hyperreal and hyperunreal at the same time, some weird appeal to your addled occiptal lobe - case in point where Dredd flings Ma-Ma out a window and the shards of glass twinkle like a gentle rain of thousands of diamonds. If someone watched those scenes purely in 2D they missed that experience entirely.
