That seems like an unfair characterization.

The squeezebox ecosystem is my go-to example of how to do it correctly and build a product that respects the consumer.

The server is open source (just a bunch of perl) and freely distributed. It runs locally and the players don't need internet connectivity. It can never be obsoleted or killed because everything is local.

Sure, the company has long, long-since discontinued the product so they aren't developing updates. That's fair. But they also don't (and can't) do anything to disable existing functionality.

I have many squeezebox systems (including a transporter) scattered around the house and they work great, just as they did in 2003 when I bought the first one. More importantly, they will never stop working (other than hardware failure, but I have many spares).

> You probably can't [live in a home that loses 90% of its value], because there must be a reason for it to have lost 90% of its value

I agree 90% is extreme. However, the nice thing about owning a home is that even if it loses value, more often than not, other homes will also lose their value.

Say you buy a 1 bedroom place for 500k, and 5 years later you have 2 children and need a 3 bedroom place, but your home lost value and is now only worth 400k. The good news is that the 3 bedroom place also probably lost value. So even though your home decreased 20% in dollar value, the 3-bedrooms also did too, so your house (as far as in-kind value) is worth the same.

In fact, in some cases you could go further and say it's good if your real-estate loses money. Suppose that you bought that 500k place, and had 100k left in your bank account afterwards. Now 5 years later the real-estate market sinks 20% and your home is worth 400k. Suppose you didn't invest your 100k and it's still all cash. When the housing market sinks 20%, your in-kind trade value plus your existing cash is actually worth more than if the real-estate market did the opposite.

For the above reasons, it's better to think about your primary residence as planting a flag in the area that you want to live rather than a financial investment.

Thanks for that "Parse, don't validate" link. It definitely is the clearest explanation for type driven development I've found.

Turns out, years ago I was writing some C# code and I found myself wanting to explore something like that. However, it wasn't idiomatic for C# (especially at the time), and I talked myself out of it.

Since then, I've wondered if that's what people mean by type driven development. It's cool to see that is at least in the general ballpark.

The initial prototype for JustSketchMe was initially built in Unity. This didn't feel very good on web and had a super long loading time, so mid-2019 we started cracking it out in ThreeJS as a small experiment and were quite happy with the results. It also allowed us to build it as a PWA, which means it runs just like a native app on pretty much anything with a browser.
One winter, I canvassed when it was -40 C. So I wore a Neopreme ski mask. Which are, by the way, quite comfortable.

I did get a few jokes when people came to the door, but everyone knew why I was wearing it. Some did call me a dumbass for doing it, but whatever.

But if it'd been during the summer?
I’m not sure that’s true regarding it being limited to small startups and founders.

I manage a team of over a dozen people at a large tech company with a few of them remote, and a pretty flexible work from home policy. We find that our standups can run long because it’s such an easy opportunity to chat face to face with remote people, but really you want a couple of conversations and doing them one at a time is kinda slow. It’d be nice to be able to just have a super quick multi party conversation without having to do a call. We’re even considering Mumble or Ventrilo.
Especially when using very general purpose languages often in business, I think what you get from learning completely different styles, structures and concepts in other languages is mental models for approaching problems that can help you write cleaner code, finding simpler solutions. When the choice is so broad (say you want to build a React App, there's 1000s of approaches, many of them only show their nasty side at a point where you now have a huge difficult to maintain app). I think some paradigms do lend themselves to different architecture too, and this helps you to discover more ways to architect code and make informed choices.

I found learning Rust valuable, as it forces you think about (and specify) ownership and mutability. It has exhaustive branch matching enforced by compiler, and it has no Null.

Also ChucK (and other niche languages are often cool). "ChucK is a concurrent, strongly timed audio programming language for real-time synthesis, composition, and performance"

I did a Coursera course on digital music creation in ChucK and it was such a joy, and such an unusual language.

“In countries like the United States, it's being built by corporations in order to influence our buying behavior, and is incidentally used by the government.”

No, he’s not right about it being “incidental”. The use of facial recognition by police is widespread and widely reported (0). Unlike other forms of digital surveillance, this one has serious and potentially deadly consequences when misused. Banning it at least temporarily is a major win for civil liberties and I would wager that anyone thinking this is a step backward is privileged enough to never have experienced police brutality.

Of course. I thought the context was quite obviously me being in a position where I am expected, for whatever reason, to make a judgement of my opponent's capabilities/progress/quality of work/whatever. At that point I do not that much care if the opponent is a dunning krueger nutcase, just not interested chatting with me, or as per many of your sibling comments, just thinking they know what they are doing so well they do not need to explain details to me. Outcome is the same. Bayes makes me expect that these people are useless. (Obviously Bayes lets me make exceptions once a certain individual has proved himself)
Bernie and warren have multiple official accounts. At least two I know of for each.

@berniesanders: 69% | 7,052,953 Real | 3,124,469 Fake

@sensanders: 74% | 6,480,666 Real | 2,171,758 Fake

@senwarren: 68% | 3,668,103 Real | 1,694,620 Fake

@ewarren: 84% | 2,966,118 Real | 560,776 Fake

So cumulatively the scores are more like:

Bernie: 71% Total non-fake followers: 8,237,392

Warren: 79% Total non-fake followers: 4,939,601

At the end of the day the percentage/ratio of real to fake doesn't matter. What matters is the REAL people following a candidate, Besides trump, Bernie beats all others.

Disclaimer: My account looks like a Bernie Bot, but my followers real % is 85 which actually surprised me lol. I'd support Yang or Tulsi. Probably not anybody else running. I'm an independent, and align more with leftist/socialist libertarianism (not the GOP think-tank ran version of American libertarianism). I don't just vote for any 'blue' because they're blue.

The WMF does quite a few things besides paying for the hosting costs of Wikipedia. As one example, their latest project is Wikidata, a general-purpose, language-independent knowledge base which already gets more edits over time than the English Wikipedia does. Given that developing such a generally-useful knowledge base has been a "holy grail" of AI for literally decades and that Wikidata is freely available at zero cost right now, those donations might already be more than paying for themselves.

I've seen so many ...."Bernie's people are horrible" posts on the Yang subreddit which has turned me off the yang gang. Yang is still my 2nd though, because unlike Yang Gang folks, I don't base my support on the followers of a candidate cause that's just lunacy. I've chimed in on a few to set the record

A. we're not all that bad.

B. You can't blame us for what gets banned by mods of a reddit when they use bots to do so.

C. Many of us would support Yang if he were on top or higher than Bernie in polls. But we want a chance at winning, and Bernie has a strong grassroots.

D. Whether the online real/fake people on reddit/twitter are 'toxic' in your opinion doesn't even matter isn't relative because THEY aren't Bernie. They could even be bots or trolls. Listen to the candidate and make your decision from that, whether they're a good or bad person.

The art use case is a nice one I haven't considered. But that sounds like something that's easy to cover either in the definition of public spaces or a flat out exception like there no doubt will be for research.

I fully concur w.r.t. applying the same restrictions to European governments, i.e. this sentence from the article: "These include the German government is planning to roll out facial recognition technology [...] after a successful trial in Berlin." The "successful" trial published an anonymized evaluation, results were horrid. It's quite amazing how split the political field must be here. In Germany that's also down to law enforcement exemptions from quite a few privacy laws, no "national security" pretense needed.

> And if they do really do that, then it's a problem with a police that needs to be addressed - not the DNA databases.

I think the reasoning should go the other way: given that we know there are problems with the police that need to be addressed, we shouldn't have DNA databases until they are.

> Why does something that can help police catch criminals is such a bad thing?

Because that's not the only thing a DNA database can be used for, and "criminal" is a word whose meaning changes all the time.

People all over the world are being incarcerated right now for being born in the "wrong" race. DNA databases would make this much worse.

Well, w/ Hillary she herself was toxic/evil.

If nobody existed but a Yang Gang member and Bernie - could they really admit he wasn't authentic and wanted to make the world better?

Is he corrupt?

Is he in this for himself?

To enrich his businesses per se?

Sell more books?

Has he changed his message to win? Or is he consistent?

I mean look at the candidate. Sure the community can get toxic like a rivalry highscool football game with pranks and shit, but in the end. Are the players really evil, or do their fans just go way out of proportions and get way too overly excited and/or angry when things don't go their way?
Clearly there was fraud here. But I'm curious about the the interview process.

If the person was a fraud, how did he get through the technical and management interviews? Surely talking to someone for 5 mins would help you figure out if they were technically competent. So apparently the interview process had zero decision value. Why bother interviewing candidates then? They should just check references and get on with it. Or fix your interview process.
> Because there are false positives?

Yes
Arguably if someone can get all my data online (I never use my real name or make it easy for anyone irl to come across it)

They would have a better version of me than I am to others irl right now. It would feel more real.

Perhaps that is something I should be worried about and change but it's never so easy to come across stuff that require deep conversation and shows what one is truly like. Beside, I don't say anything controversial or misleading offline. I fear the lack of context will lead to people filling in a lot of black holes. You can't spit out previous links or cite multiple sources to build upon somewhat unpopular or non mainstream contrastive opinion to popular media.

Not many people have time or attention span either anyways. Just talk about food, daily chores and work.

We shouldn't ban any technology. However, we should ban a technology when it is used for _____. The ban should cover the use, not the technology itself. It's fine to make building a nuclear bomb illegal, but studying radioactive elements should not be.

Similarly, the technologies this article describes "identification, correlation and discrimination" should not be outright banned, but maybe they should be when their use conflicts with other important values (e.g., due process in criminal prosecution, privacy rights).

Recent targeting of facial recognition does not "miss the point", the reason it has become an issue is because it has started being used in the criminal justice system. No one really gets upset when it's just used to tag your photos.

I know developers love abstractions, but we should not try to build abstractions of technology and regulate those. To borrow from the article, identifying a person based on their "gait" is not nearly as serious an issue as facial recognition, even if abstractly they may seem similar to a developer. Instead, focus on the direct problem at hand, regulate it, and only after the passage of time when commonalities become clear, build an abstraction.

So let me understand, "Sam" was best technical candidate ever, knowing all the answers and everything but somehow he lied about who he was?!

Over time people build distrust toward recruiters, why:
- they use cold calling,
- as soon as you resign they call to find who are your references, not to offer you a job, but to find who is lead contact in previous company they can call and so they could someone just to get that 20+% fee...
- in order for these to succeed they need to use social engineering techniques (they pretend they are friendly)
- they post fake job ads to collect CV ...
- have I mentioned huge fees for literally doing nothing
.... and on and on and on ....

Who ever was wrote this article he should just zip it ....
