My question is what comes after? Look at AT&T, which was once part of the aftermath of Bell. It now owns so much of the telecom market, that it's only challengers own pretty much all major network stations and entertainment companies. And Verizon is no slouch either.

They can split these companies up but eventually some piece/s will gobble up the rest through dark mergers and aggressive business dealings and become bigger than their predecessor.
The paper the FTC did back in 2012 around Google is an interesting read. http://graphics.wsj.com/google-ftc-report/
its funny how some execs can slap the name on something and anyone expects it to be anything like what was the labor of roddenberry's life. can a bunch of people get together in a room and release a new "elvis" album cuz the name is owned by some studio?
I half agree with you. Ecosystems are not static but we should try to mitigate the human impact. At the same time, we shouldn't spend so much fighting against this. For example, we should move away from flood prone areas rather than build higher and higher levees. Fighting against nature.
I'm not against it, I just think that it requires AGI and humanity is nowhere close to developing AGI. I think that AGI is somewhere between "50 years away" and "will never be developed by humans".
> warns you that it thinks you are going to run a red light / stop sign

I need this feature, and I would prefer this to full autonomous driving.

A computer that warns you when you're about to make a mistake is achievable today and will increase safety for everyone.

When the alleged dangers are scary/obvious, and the benefits hard to comprehend, easy to oppose.

I remember when credit cards, caller ID, online shopping, tax software, etc were all new. Each was loudly denounced as evil for various reasons; eventually the benefits became so obvious that we all now use those techs with little concern - even though many/most of the concerns were warranted. Just became too convenient to use them.

Self-driving will be the same. Scary concept to hurtle down the road completely & existentially subject to a machine built of (per A.C.Clarke) pure magic. Once in one, and seeing how smoothly & smartly it transports you, people will quickly embrace self-driving cars ... especially when they discover how too darned convenient it is to use them.

"Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic." And self-driving neural-net cars, to most, are flat-out magic.

It's that people think it will work as good as their phone, which, well, does goofy stuff every once-in-a-while. Meatspace is harder.
What's the FPS rate of the algorithm? It says on the OSD: `13.3 FPS`, which seems very low:

50mph = 73 feet per second / 13 frames per second = 5 feet per frame. This still way faster than a human I'm guessing, but seems very slow.

I kind of giggle because the jittery-ness of some of the graphics makes it like I'm watching some robot version of Home Movies or Dr Katz.

I bring that up because my hypothetical personal questions working on a system like this is 'smooth' decision making. Objects, lines, are jittery and falling in and out of recognition, but the actual control inputs to the car are smooth.

I know, good conditions and all that, but I always find it quite remarkable watching any sort of automaton make relatively fuzzy decisions. I'm very curious to know more about how this system 'thinks' about the things it 'sees'.

I believe his point is that you can go to jail / perjure yourself for NOT invoking that incantation.
Don't laugh but I made one of these last year, just needed something dead simple.
Same here. I’ve learned to ignore Techcrunch and other similar websites from Yahoo/Verizon.

The redirect you’re getting is to a “consent” page that’s not actually compliant with the GDPR as it takes a good 5 minutes to opt out of all the bullshit tracking and even then I don’t trust it to actually opt me out and not track.

Yahoo/Verizon is cancer and should die in a fire.
This problem has probably been exacerbated by the fact the the $500 euro note has not been issued since 27 April 2019

The United States used to print $100,000 notes. They were only available to banks for moving from bank to bank, I believe, and so were useful for reducing the number of notes that needed to be stored by banks, while keeping them out of the hands of criminals.
What's so terrible about using USB devices? I have my crypto token with USB interface and I'm using it to interact with website. The only alternative is to store private key in file and it's worse.
Software patents end up being so vague that basically every large company is violating some in some way. They don't get in legal battles with eachother often because the resulting legal decision will be somewhat random and risks huge retaliation in counter-suits.
Also, if you had good reason to take time off, but the future employer still has a problem with it, you probably don't want to work for them anyway.
Very savage to “leak” this when Alphabet’s earnings are released. Probably a predictor of a bad outcome for Google. Or, everyone in this administration is an inside trader.

There's no evidence that computers are any better at driving than humans, and there is no evidence that this generation of machine learning will be able to tackle this problem sufficiently. All signs point to driving requiring an understanding of what's going on around you, which this generation of ML does not provide.

On the other hand, there is a lot of hype and promises being made without the results to back them up.
So what's the remedy, separate companies for Search, Ads, Youtube, Cloud/Firebase, GSuite, Android/Chrome, Pixel, Maps?
What a ridiculous absurdity. More light should be shed on this case.

The first example shows AES.GCM.seal(...) and then states:

> This code avoids some of the numerous pitfalls that you can encounter when constructing encryption schemes yourself. For example, it ensures that you use a randomly selected nonce, and that you authenticate your ciphertext.

The AES-GCM nonce is only 96 bits, which might be enough in many contexts, but is still a little short for comfort when selecting nonces randomly: https://www.imperialviolet.org/2017/05/14/aesgcmsiv.html

It's surprising that the blog post just declared success without bringing this up at all.

(It looks like AES.GCM.seal does let you specify the nonce, though, in cases where you can maintain a counter yourself.)
SAS | Web UI Developer | Cary, NC | Full Time

https://erp-sas.icims.com/jobs/20579/web-ui-developer/job

Looking for early mid-level developer for a web developer position. Our team builds an internal component library that gets used across a large number of web applications that we ship to customers. We're building our next generation of the library in React. This is rebuilding the whole thing from the ground up using some of the latest modern tools we can find: Storybook, Jest, TypeScript, functional/hooks-based components, etc. We have some tight accessibility requirements and so having a11y experience is big plus for this role.

SAS is regularly recognized as one of the best places to work for in US and around the world. On-site gym + pool, health services, day care, subsidized cafes. Full suite of standard benefits like dental, medical, retirement, etc.
The analogy isn't credit. It's a bank. I doubt people carry much of a percent of their total Yen wealth in their pockets.
Now that it's clear that the Senate won't remove an impeached Donald Trump, isn't it natural for this administration to try and extract value by threatening antitrust action?
So in this case absolutely nothing.
They are, it's IT departments and customer internal apps using IE-specific things like ActiveX which are keeping it alive.
True, but it doesn't seem to really be the problem right now. The overwhelming majority of people don't need to be told to spend money. If they have it, they'll spend it on stuff, for better or worse.

Looking back at the past half century the big variables that have changed to get us here seem to be A) lack of world wars to devastate Europe B) rising automation leading to skyrocketing worker productivity C) society's wealth becoming increasingly concentrated within a billionaire class and D) relatively flat wage growth to spite B. There are also probably a few other's I'm missing too.

TLDR seems like there's a bigger picture to the macroeconomic situation than just spending and saving at the moment. I'm really curious to see how this will shake out going forward.
Follow-up question: what is the job of the board when the CEO has the majority of the voting shares?
It's good to see all these cases are from people visiting China and not secondary cases from within the US. It suggests that the virus may not be contagious during the long incubation period like Chickenpox. That will make a huge difference in the speed at which is spreads preventing the huge flood of cases that we would see otherwise.
In practice most non-Internet PKIs don't actually want to do proof of control which is ACME's secret sauce. As you'll see much of the document is about the proof of control, because that's both the hardest problem and the only reason for ACME to exist at all.

In private PKIs either proof of control over the name is considered an out-of-band problem or it's elided altogether. I wrote about this when Peter Gutmann was being angry about ACME years ago, Gutmann saw ACME as redundant because of existing protocols like SCEP. If you want certificate issuance automation but you don't need proof of control over the names then you don't need ACME - SCEP (or half a dozen others) are fine for this purpose and you should use those.

Now, of course if you don't want proof of control but you do want automation it's worth taking a moment to reconsider exactly what your goals really are: What is a certificate doing for me here? What exactly am I certifying, if anything? But if the technical requirement is there, regardless of whether it makes philosophical sense, SCEP delivers and ACME is overkill.

As I wrote in my thread with Peter, it's usual with things like SCEP to provide a default implementation in which the part where you only give certificates to the Right People is left marked /* TODO */. Thus often the result is pure security theatre, certificates are issued equally to bad guys or good guys without distinction and nothing at all is really being certified.

Manual processes may or may not be better in terms of actually certifying anything.
After dealing with a few of these things, I've resolved every time I get one of these applications in the future, I'll just decline. If you want me to spend like 1-2 hours doing some small exercise that proves I can program, fine, but I'm not wasting my spare time coding the moon for you with your mind numbing full stack crud app project for some ultimately middling opportunity.
I do exactly the same - not with 4-way stops as we don't have those in Germany, but with areas where a two-lane road is intentionally narrowed to one lane for a very short piece of road, which we sometimes have in order to slow down traffic around pedestrian crossings. If I see someone approaching from the other side and we are about to arrive roughly at the same time, I slow down just enough so the other person hopefully realizes she can go first. If I see the other person doing the same I add light flashing, which is typically understood as "You go first". But it is rarely necessary, because if I start going slow early enough, the other person realizes he/she is a tiny bit closer to the narrow part, so they slightly speed up in order to ensure they are first and thus get the right to come through before me, which is exactly the reaction that I want, because my interest usually isn't to get through first, but to be able to roll through the narrow part without coming to a full stop.

When I was road tripping in the US, I also attempted to prevent unclear situations at 4-way stops by intentionally slowing down just a bit so it is clear that I'm not first to drive. Since I couldn't prevent the stop anyway I was usually much more comfortable with letting other people drive first, or at least with having a clear order and knowing about my position in that order.
the real reason why the 500 euro bill has been revoked was that for storing physical money (for banks, in those quantities) would become more expensive in order for the ECB to lower the interest/deposit rate.

next thing will be 200 euro bills revoked, then the base rate can go down to around -1%.
I've yet to meet a human that needs to observe enormous numbers of balls and children against a number of different backdrops before they grasp the concept that they're different from the background environments, never mind potentially linked to unsafe road use.

The conclusion that a neural network classifies stuff 'correctly forever' is also not one supported by the current state of computer vision.
Closest I can think of is efforts like https://jerryscript.net/ and https://duktape.org/ – but the challenge isn't in the language itself really, but in the web API:s that gets added to it.

Eg. Node.js doesn't have WebUSB either :)
AFAIK misdemeanors have to be checked at the county level, and a lot of background checks skip them unless asked specifically (hence checking about the gaps).

If you listen to Lin Sun interview on Google's Kubernetes Podcast you hear that she have the title Master Inventor. Since she is interviewed under the title of Istio I was sure she invented some interesting techincal stuff in that field. You don't have to wait too long for (at least what I find as) the disappointing explanation of what does the title mean, why it exists and what the results are.

In short, there's incentive as well as assistance in filling up patents, they don't seem to discriminate on basis of usability, feasibility or anything else. They do give bigger bonuses for patents that are in one of the fields considered strategic for the company.

Listening to it was somewhere between amusing to depressing:

Aquabyte | San Francisco, CA | Full Time | Mechanical Engineer, Technical Program Manager, Product Manager - Norway | ONSITE, VISA https://jobs.lever.co/aquabyte/

Aquabyte (https://www.aquabyte.ai, backed by NEA and Costanoa, top tier investors) is on a mission to revolutionize the sustainability and efficiency of aquaculture. It is an audacious, and incredibly rewarding mission. By making fish farming cheaper and more viable than livestock production, we aim to mitigate one of the biggest causes of climate change and help prepare our planet for impending population growth. Aquaculture is the single fastest growing food-production sector in the world, and now is the time to define how technology is used to harvest the sea for generations to come.

Watch our TV episode with Amazon CTO Werner Vogels here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YZ_qJ5JFD3I
Through custom underwater cameras, computer vision, and machine learning we are able to quantify fish weights, detect sea lice infestations, and generate optimal feeding plans in real time. Our product operates at three levels: on-site hardware for image capture, cloud pipelines for data processing, and a user-facing web application. As a result, there are hundreds of moving pieces and no shortage of fascinating challenges across all levels of the stack.

My takeaway from the graph is that overall, most states are "green" or are more or less evenly distributed. However these states stand out as "red" (more inequality), which seems to me due to the following industry outliers:

CA: tech industry
NY: financial industry
CT: financial industry
TX: energy industry?
FL: wealthy retirees?
About three months ago, I visited a friend and we looked up a 15-minute cooking recipe. We were shown three ads in the process.

I subscribed to Premium quite early. They were showing me an IKEA bed ad multiple times a day, over a number of days. 3-4 different ads, but always the same product. The end result being that I will sleep on the ground before I ever purchase a Nordli bed.

This is incorrect. When I worked on LTE networks, I did work on a few problems with VoLTE based 911 service, although I didn't specialize in 911 services.

In many ways, something like an LTE tower doesn't really know what a phone call is. It just looks like packet data. So there are several fields in the signalling, that indicate that a request is related to an emergency, which should have emergency handling. This can include things like dropping other lower priority traffic, prioritizing the packets themselves on the network, etc.

But the other interesting thing is in VoLTE, you actually do a new IP assignment (to an sos PDN) specifically for the emergency call, so you have a sort of new registration to the network. This allows you to make an emergency call on any network that is available. Although scanning for an available network can take some time, so you'll likely use your own carrier if they're currently available.

Note: I've been out of the industry a few years now, and specific to emergency calls only have knowledge specific to LTE and UMTS.
Because right now Google has enormous value because people trust it. I believe they won't do something horrible with my data because if they did, it would potentially erase billions of dollars of value from their share price.

Yet. If I start feeling like Google operates as a compromise with the Trump administration, it super freaks me out. Kind of like what happened with Facebook?
And that is how it should be. All parties need to align on how the future of the Web will look. If most users want a site with fancy features, that's what developers will make, and that is what businesses will prioritize
I think that was a LOL as in "your comment lacks understanding of the capabilities of neural networks in it's suggestion a neural network could identify someone in the pool of... everyone (lets even say in a certain area), based on writing style."

You'd need countless IDed writing samples to even give yourself a 50% chance of making a network able to with 50% accuracy match an unIDed writing sample to an IDed one.

Facial recognition is easier (yet still very hard) to implement because there're characteristics about people's faces that're hard to modify unless you're really trying.

Compared to writing style which could differ based on too many factors.

It seems like no control or adjustment is made for individual vs joint returns (and therefore none for household size). I’d expect a state with greater makeup of joint returns to have a lower reported percentage.

What I don’t have a good sense for is how different the splits are by state, but it seems like “per capita income inequality” is a lot more interesting than “per return income inequality”.

> Wouldn't the data decide what the rule is?

Lawyers will define what the rules are for a manufacturers self driving cars. After all, any accident at a 4-way stop will immediately result in blaming and then suing the manufacturer. And what are they gonna have for a defense? "Sorry, your honor, we use machine learning to decide how our car drives--as a result there is no real way to truly understand how our car will react to every situation it encounters".

Google? :-)

By the way, it occurs to me that Microsoft is now doing better what Google was doing with the Chrome Frame for IE extension a few years ago.

13 years ago, I asked myself, why Microsoft doesn't just embed WebKit instead of keeping using their annoying web engine. It turns out they are now doing a variant of that now, something that seemed impossible back then, and (amazingly) I am not too happy with this... I guess I did not predict the collapse of my favorite browser's market share at the time, and the dominance of Chrome, which did not exist. Google seemed good anyway.

Google building a web browser was strange to me back then: why would Google do that when we already have Firefox, an excellent browser? But now, it is obvious. And Microsoft does not care that much apparently. They don't care about having an edge over this area anymore.
And it's nice that the web app only has a narrow set of permissions.

You could imagine the same for an unzipping app. It theory, an unzipping app doesn't need anything else than specific file system permissions, i.e. read for a specific set of bytes and write access to a specific filepath.
