I think one thing Apple got right about smartphone photography is that they are selling the general public the ability to take superior photos without most of the inconveniences that tend to come with superior cameras.

And that equation more than adequately satisfies the photographic requirements of most people.
I think we’ve been conditioned to believe that any application of medium complexity requires hundreds or thousands of developers. Snarkiness aside, they have a very concrete set of functional constraints and total control over the hardware, network, and software environment. Issues like resource management, dependency conflicts, security, scale, etc are taken out of the equation, things that are often the biggest time and resource sinks.

> White people, especially leaders, have a history of saying they are going to do things about racism and subsequently doing little or nothing.

Maybe "white people, especially leaders" look at actual facts and not irrational tribalism, and realise what these people are asking for is special treatment - "Make us exempt from the common rules". Not just discriminatory rules but all rules. The protests are overshadowed by mass looting and lack of condemnation from those with a platform.

It's now moved from black equality to black supremacy.

The facts are uncomfortable and until every community is willing to confront bigotry in their own community, I'm never going to listen to houlier than thou proclamations, well intentioned or not.

I don't think it's practical to focus on the amount of surveillance as it is its nature and whether or not it can justify itself.

We already live in a society where widespread aggressive authoritarian surveillance that doesn't justify itself is commonplace. Snowden proved this. Your emails are read. Your naked selfies looked at. Personal data is used frequently to crack down heavily on legitimate dissent. These are unquestionable and it's getting worse and more entrenched, not less and it hasn't caught a single act of terrorism like it was set up (ostensibly) to do. The question is, how do we personally react to the unchecked growth of stasi-friendly surveillance infrastructure?

I think arguing that western governments could be better behaved is a fair point. The stasi also could have been better behaved. Frequent appeals to moderation didn't make them behave though and they haven't and won't make western governments behave either, though.

Appeals to moderation have a null effect because if the goalposts keep being moved, so does the moderate position. If you want your opinion to never matter at all, always pick the moderate, middle ground opinion.
Skype was safe before it got acquired by microsoft.

> I'm amazed that people sign contracts accepting this kind of restrictions to their lives.

I believe he's talking about a contract between the companies, not contracts with individual employees. That may be different.

An employer making an employee sign a contract saying that they won't work elsewhere without the employer's permission has obvious problems, such as the vast (usually) difference in bargaining power between an employer and an individual employee, and it gives the employer massive control over the employee's life.

I believe that those are the main reasons many jurisdictions make such clauses unenforceable.

In the case of two companies making a deal that company A will buy a service from company B and not hire away B's employees, you are much less likely to have such a great disparity in bargaining power. Unless it's a very small industry, B's employees probably have many other job opportunities in that industry besides A and other companies B has worked for.

That suggests that there might not be such strong public policy reasons for make such contract unenforceable, especially if they have some time limit such as B's employees can't be hired by A for a year after working on B's service for A.

Almost every court case I can recall hearing of in this area was either (1) contracts between companies and individual employees, not between companies, or (2) arrangements between competing companies to try to limit labor mobility to keep salaries down, which raised antitrust issues.
> Besides general accessibility (which is tag attribute based mostly)

Free For All of Social Media censors won't last very long. It became mainstream to hate the internet and push for the end of platforms, effectively turning Twitter/Facebook/Google into publishers. By doing that they automatically loose the ability to claim to be platforms and become publishers.

As a publisher it is much harder to guaranteed that things said in the platform won't end up in the arrest of your employees. Zuckerberg is trying to find a middle ground where he does not push an agenda but at the same time can keep its advertisers by removing things based on a clear policy ( showing violence / pornography / etc ).

Don't forget the media as a whole does NOT have that benefit, if a company publishes or defames people they will be severely punished. We should think really hard before asking for Social media companies to breach that vote of confidence, there is real chances Twitter will be the first giant to fall regardless if Biden wins the election.

False positives do matter. However, we are currently at about 300 new cases per day in Germany. So how much do they matter, really?

If everyone of those has the app installed and has, on average, 100 registered contacts (so that’s about 98 false positives, if we assume that on average two of those lead to infections) that’s about 30,000 people being told to isolate every day.

If they are told to isolate for one week (should be sufficient, on balance) that’s around 200,000 people isolated at any one point in time.

If only 50% have the app installed that’s down to 100,000 people.

Sounds high but ok to me. Given how active the infection currently is in Germany I wouldn’t want false positives be higher than that – but somewhere in that high ballpark sounds fine to me.

I'm a huge fan of the concept of super-lightweight EVs. I still think something like the ELF [https://organictransit.com/] is one of the best ideas in this space, and I hope someone takes over the brand or concept and figures out how to market it better.

This needs robust offerings for both lower-end and higher-end models, but it's hard to say which should be initially focused on these days. My instinct is to go for the low end & maximize volume. There has to be a sweet spot between usefulness and affordability. As has been pointed out elsewhere in this thread, designing for modular upgrades would probably help.

I'm not sure it is. Twitter is short form by design. Most issues are complex. I would suggest that short form dissertation on complex issues is pointless at best and more often than not simply stokes conflict.

Oh shoot, turns out it's a complex issue...

Can somebody with knowledge about how those contracts are set up comment on what happens to the IP developed by Star Theory? I understand they were contracted to build KSP2, but when "the project was pulled" by Take Two who owns the development to date? Does Take Two/Infinity need to start from scratch (with the benefit of many of the original developers) or do they essentially get to go forward with whatever the latest development version was available?

> since twrp supports decrypting and mounting the storage on demand.

It advertises that support, but I've never really seen it work. It seems that modern FDE on Android is such that you can only really "decrypt" from the system environment itself, not from different code - and it's not clear how to fix this.
Honestly, it's not that straight forward, which is why I didn't mind leaving the manuscript in the end. I did much of the work bringing it to a workable manuscript, but I didn't originate the project.

I was approached by the corresponding author, who had originated and done most of the initial work. This was just a data dump, and he felt he didn't have the time or the ability to polish it into a manuscript. My contribution was to analyse the data, and write most of the manuscript. However, it became clear that the two other authors were pushing a narrative which I felt wasn't well supported by the data we had. We discussed two possible options: bring in an immunologist to determine if our results make sense, which I voted for, or stick to our guns. The second option would have also required submitting to a preprint, which they were against. The corresponding author felt the claims were justified, and decided that a more forceful (and prestigeous) first author was what was needed instead, and I agreed. Since my contribution wasn't all that much (about a week of my time?), and I wasn't convinced by the findings, I didn't mind losing the authorship. This sort of negotiating happens all the time in academia, so it's unsurprising.
I would like to see someone back up the data with regards to automation. Why is the burden of truth on the other side? Fact of the matter is Chinese factories that produce the world's gadgets employ millions. This is reality and not some mythical fully automated factories.

Globalism made the very poor in China/Mexico/etc. richer, created their middle class and it made the very rich in US/EU even richer at the cost of US/EU middle class.

Saying how that is irrelevant now because of automation just smells like new propaganda to replace the old one so that the rich can get richer and the rest of us arguing propaganda.

I think the issue is the false premise that programming is just one occupation akin to chain factory working the same everywhere for everyone. You cannot compare a coder in an outsourced shop doing "plumbing" implementing some enterprise UML specification and engineers in the Silicon Valley that are pretty much defining the business in a close loop with product design. At that point why are we not comparing salaries of consultants, salespeople, or pretty much asking why are salaries lower in certain countries and why are not companies outsourcing all their positions there?

Because it was cheaper than dealing with their current employer. All about controlling costs. The bonus was carefully calculated to balance the development costs versus contract costs.

Those employees can expect precisely nothing once the game is complete, unless coincidentally their new employer has another project they can be immediately put to work on.

>"I periodically go to twitters homepage, see the idiotic trending tags, and just facepalm at the collective histrionic stupidity Twitter is generating"

It's all in how you use it. I honestly think Twitter is the only decent one out of all the big social media sites. They give you really good filtering capabilities, the ability to hide sponsored posts, and the content is actually accessible via the web, not locked within their walled garden a la Facebook. Twitter is great if you curate the people you follow and stick to technical and scientific topics. Avoiding politics is the key; 140 characters is simply not the platform to have those kind of discussions, which leads to the toxicity.
I’m guessing they were vastly stripped-down versions of JS and Chromium.
The network effects are somewhat irrelevant and GP's comment is correct. If you do not use a retailer or service provider's business in a manner that they like, they are normally free to discontinue your service and ask you to leave. The same principle should apply to Facebook as they are a service provider like any other which has not (to my knowledge) explicitly been designated as having special status in legislation.

You can't decide Facebook is subject to a different set of laws or has fewer rights simply because people have arbitrarily decided to communicate on its platform more than another platform. Every private entity should be afforded the same rights to regulate their private property or services unless there is legislation specifically saying otherwise.

If you or any other person do not like the way Facebook is regulating usage of their platform, you are free to go start up your own social media platform with a different ToS (and many people do).

I think the cause and the effect is reversed. There is more money for investment now than ever before (due to an aging population, and increased inequality) which leads to both a low/zero interest rate, and lots of money for PE.

If it was an artificially low interest rate we'd see wage inflation, as opposed to just asset inflation.
It’s true that skill and composition are tremendously important, but having a good camera makes it so much easier to achieve your artistic goals at all skill levels. You have much finer control over things that you have limited or no control over on a cell phone (e.g. aperture), and you can worry a lot less about e.g. low light performance or your ability to push curves in post without getting really bad noise or banding or whatever.

The thought police will publicly shame you in every way possible if you don't score enough "woke points" with your latest post. We've seen conservative voices exiled from SV, and I suspect moderate or simply imperfect liberal voices would be treated similarly. As a pretty far-left liberal in an extended social group of extremist liberals, I've learned / am learning to just stay off social media and say nothing (easier to do this by deleting your fb/ig/whatever). Nothing you say or do can every please these people and they are very quick to destroy people when they feel slighted.

> Why can't we just hold a button and unlock the phone directly into the camera?

My iPhone has a "camera" button right on the lock screen that launches the camera app without needing to unlock the phone. It takes well under a second from when the screen lights up to display the lock screen until the camera viewfinder screen is active.

Are you using a very old iPhone or old version of the OS?
Sorry, I wasn't more clear.

I mean some way that you don't have to look at the screen for feedback.

What you're saying is true, but it behaves differently depending on reasons (like did you unlock first or accidentally press the home button to get to the home screen or ...)

The idea would be - some unambiguous non-fiddly way of launching the camera into either still photo or video mode.

I'm pretty sure everyone who's ever had an iphone has struggled and lost this battle trying to rip off a photo or video.
