Thanks for your feedback. I tried to use data classes in Kotlin to remove hardcoded data from the main code. In Python, this is easy and very useful. Splitting the classes was confusing. I am sure I am going to make it better in my next App.
Wonder if that extends to the Bodycam analysis services running under a different brand, which allows searching for people based on various criteria and matching against a watch list?

> are you using it on the browser, or are you using the jitsi desktop version

I am using Jitsi in//on the browser [for me, Firefox].

I don't know if I have a preference as I have only "just started using" the past few months via being given a link I click on whilst I am on my laptop... so unfortunately I cannot speak about Jitsi via Desktop Version at this time.

> Are there settings you adjusted?

Besides simple sound volume off of my OS//headphones, I use whatever the default settings are.

> 1-1 meetings or 3+ group calls?

Group calls, each time would be roughly 5-12 people.

For other info just for giggles:

The laptop I do this on is connected wirelessly to my home wireless network, about 6 feet away from my wireless router; my wireless router may have multiple people using it at a given time since I share. I'm in US-California-Silicon_Valley on Comcast.

In the case of Wikipedia: If a single search result answers someone's question, it probably wasn't all that profound.

30-volume encyclopedias are great for learning in depth, but sometimes you just need to know something fairly trivial... more digits in pi, say.

"71% of [Freddy Mercury] searches end there, without a click to a specific site."

I'd like to know about a lot of things in more depth, but there's only so much time. If I'm focused on reading something that just mentions a name (it assumes I know) I might just search it to complete that omission.

The article fails to differentiate the two search-types, and so leaves that important question hanging.

What do you mean? I thought the DL hypetrain was dying as companies failed to make returns on their investments.
Conversely, the original IBM PC was closer in time to WWII than to now.

> not the privacy issue part

But that's an integral part of the product. There is a lot of reason for suspicion floating around the company and the product itself, and the long string of security screwups and misdirection confirms every bit of that.

What's the point of having even good functionality if it comes attached to such concerns? Most products have a good side but choosing one is always about picking what's the worst problem that you can live with rather than the best feature.

> Then simply do not add a CA or self-signed cert to your cert store. IOW: the default is secure against SSL MITM. Nothing to "get used to" or "abused".

Once upon a time, there were public CAs who would sell you a sub-CA certificate for use on a hardware MITM box, so that you could "transparently" MITM systems on a network without adding a CA. That is now considered unacceptable, and grounds for terminating a CA. What "security" practices in use today will we be saying "once upon a time" about years from now?

Hi there, I'm an Engineer at Benchling and I work with the post's author. Good question, thanks! I just discussed this with our Recruiting team.

The short answer is - not historically but that may change in the future.

It's something we're looking into, since all Benchlings are working remotely right now. If / when it comes time to return to the office, then we'll likely make changes and post updates to our remote working policy.

That depends. Does he know how to reverse a linked list on a whiteboard????

In all seriousness, some places are going to look for someone who's already overqualified for the job and won't give him the time of day. Other places will see he's a smart person looking for someone to give him a chance and give it a try.

He will probably get asked why he doesn't want to do research or get a "data science"/machine learning job.

Some companies will wonder if he'll be bored working on boring-ass CRUD apps. This is a fair question for this friend to ask himself, as well.

Returning to the first snarky comment I made at the beginning, practicing coding interview bullshit will help if he hasn't done them before.
Despite what many people believe, shareholders don’t actually work like that. They care about making money, but no one is going to sell Amazon because they’re not continuing a single low profit line item. No shareholder is condemning Apple for not making Rekognition, and Amazon wouldn’t be killed for dropping it.

My cynical guess would be "whatever the lowest number they can get away with using".

I would bet good money that cops KPI goals benefit from false positives, since they'll reward higher "number of identified/interviewed suspects" and "number of arrests" as a positive thing even if "number of convictions" doesn't line up.

Even more cynically, I'd bet this is a powerful technique for ambitious cop promotion, and that there's little blowback on fraudulently manipulating parameters that adversely affect POC much more significantly that white people.

Thinking about it, I'm now recalling the multiple reports of police departments claiming to not be using clearview.ai, only to have to backtrack when clearview's customer data got popped and it became public knowledge that individual cops were signing up for free trials - which their department/management either chose to hide or didn't know about. That's reasonably compelling circumstantial evidence to me that ambitious cops are quick to jump on unproven and unauthorised technology with insufficient or oversight or with management actively avoiding oversight for them...
Absolutely you should be ticketed for going under the speed limit by a far enough amount. You're more dangerous to everyone than safe if you don't align with the flow of traffic.

My oldest working devices are all time keeping devices or calculators (or both!), for no particular reason that I can discern.

1. A Westclox Baby Ben luminous dial alarm clock, probably bought in 1980. It still runs fine.

2. A Casio CFX-20 scientific calculator watch bought sometime between 1983 and 1986. One of the side buttons is a bit flaky, and the light doesn't work well, but other than that when I put a battery in it last year it worked.

3. A BHB chess clock, probably bought in 1982 or 1983. Still works.

BTW, adjusting an old analog clock is a lot easier nowadays than it was back then. Just record a few seconds of it ticking, import that into your favorite audio editor, and measure the time between ticks on the wave form to figure out just how much you need to adjust it.

I did my chess clock once that way, and it was way faster and more precise than the old way. The old way was to sync it with a quartz watch, wait an hour, and see how much it disagrees with the quartz watch. Adjust it, and try again.

You could probably also do this with video if you have a camera with good slow motion, assuming the clock has something obvious that moves discretely, and you have video editing software that will show you high precision frame timing. A lot of common consumer video editing software does not show such timing.

4. A Casio FX-702P pocket computer [1]. Bought sometime around 1982.

5. An HP-15C bought sometime in the early '80s. Also an HP-16C, a couple years later.

These are all things I bought new, except for the alarm block with I think my parents bought for me.

I think that it's unlikely that exposing individual consumers to such highly variable pricing will induce much change in consumer behavior. It's just so much to think about, with absolutely tiny potential cost benefit for the consumer.

However, high prices are unbounded, and I think that it's easier to respond to those signals than to respond to a signal from low selectivity prices.

In California (and maybe other places?), companies like OhmConnect are facilitating demand response. A third party bundles together lots of homes' potential drops in demand, then sells that drop in demand back to the utility when they would otherwise use expensive and highly polluting leaker plants.

This gets around several market challenges: 1) consumers don't trust utilities and won't believe that they are acting in their best interest. 2) OhmConnect can advertise the environmental benefits to consumers, something that utilities are loathe to do, and 3) it lessens management load on the utilities, who are not used to dealing with data challenges like that, 4) a third party is much more likely to be able to experiment with UX (eg gamificaion) than a staid, highly-regulated utility company.

I was frequenting the r/programming and r/javascript subreddits, which are both huge in terms of population. I remember the JavaScript subreddit bring much less of an echo chamber but it also rarely had interesting submissions comparative.

Yes, the echo chamber problem could have been addressed by an army of aggressive moderators, but that was absent. The stupidity on the site was present because the conventions of the site encouraged it. Sometimes the moderators are actively working to grow the echo chamber, such as r/thedonald.

At any rate I don’t miss it.

AFAIK Noise has end-to-end proofs of correctness using CryptoVerif, the work having mostly been done by the Prosecco team at INRIA. You can explore Noise protocols on NoiseExplorer [0][1]

Also I may be wrong again, but it is for TLS, that even with all the simplifications and major changes on TLS 1.3, that we only have proofs of correctness for certain subsets of the spec, and specific modes of operation (theres a version of the protocol targeting IoT for which this work has been done, but I can't remember the name)

The fact that you can write “We are an equal opportunity affirmative action employer.” and not get sued gives the lie to this. The plain reading of the law and how it is interpreted and enforced are at odds.
Tesla canceled Zoom due to these privacy concerns expressed in this article. We use Microsoft Teams now and it's much better. Everyone already used it as an instant messenger before this and since it's part of the Outlook ecosystem i've found that it's much better. It's also saved a ton of useless meetings that run really long because i can just call someone straight through Teams instead of setting a meeting.

"people known to be terrorizing people"

I think only a small percent amount of reddit and a smaller percent of the world will know the way Ohanian stepped down or this guy stepped in.

For most people it will be "I'm on the board of reddit." "Oh, cool."

For people who think it was because of skin color, they may think less of him or of reddit, but presumably he made that choice going in and is okay with the costs and benefits. I have a rare (and not at all serious) medical condition. If reddit said they were selecting board members only with this condition I would happily apply and take the position even if everyone would say I only got it because of my condition and even if that were true. The cost is people would think I benefited from luck or circumstance and the reward is being able to meaningfully influence a major website and money. Hardly seems like a terrible trade to me.

What more is there to do with reddit? All their new ideas in the last 5 years have been poached from other social sites that did it first. It will always be a cesspool in the same manner that twitter and facebook with always be cesspools but that's more a reflection on society than management. They will always be pawns in the bot game, political game and advertising/sponsorship game because they are conduits only. Nothing good comes out of reddit that is not put into reddit from the outside.
The board basically control the management and directors of the company and sets the strategies and long term visions that the company directors then implement. In a day to day level, the way if achieving the goals are usually left to the CEO but sometimes there's also a so called operative board in which case the board is also present on a more direct level. The C-letter executives are responsible for hitting their targets set by the board, thus the board basically has a full say on everything that happens in a company.
Ohanian's polite request was worthless. Asking nicely for change doesn't work. Victories must be be seized, then held tenaciously at great effort and cost.
At least in the DevOps space, we can now develop applications without mastering process managers, log exfiltration, ssh configuration / server hardening, bin packing, configuration management, brittle infrastructure provisioning scripts, etc. This is somewhat revolutionary in that it doesn’t require specialists with decades of experience—devs can operate their own services down to the infrastructure. This affords a lot of impressive organization improvements even while the technology is nascent (lots of room for improvement in the build, infrastructure management, and orchestration spaces as well as in the “appliancification” of infrastructure or “platformization” of the cloud, depending on how you want to look at it).

The DEA’s founding mission was to persecute blacks, such as Billie Holliday: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22394789

That was back in the ‘30s, and it didn’t start then.

Edit. Anslinger was the head of the Bureau of Narcotics, which eventually became the DEA. (At the time, most (all?) famous jazz musicians were black:

> Anslinger looked out over a scene filled with rebels like Charlie Parker, Louis Armstrong and Thelonious Monk, and—as the journalist Larry Sloman recorded—he longed to see them all behind bars. He wrote to all the agents he had sent to follow them and instructed: “Please prepare all cases in your jurisdiction involving musicians in violation of the marijuana laws. We will have a great national round-up arrest of all such persons on a single day. I will let you know what day.” His advice on drug raids to his men was always simple: “Shoot first.”

He reassured congressmen that his crackdown would affect not “the good musicians, but the jazz type.”
This is exactly my point. They brought someone in who presumably is going to see Monthly Active Users as the metric to live or die by when what the world needs from Reddit/Twitter/FB is a more social-good focus. It might be worth it to shed a few users and lose a few ad dollars to make positive change on their platforms but with a Silicon Valley CEO on the board that is unlikely to happen.
If it wasn't clear, I was just being sarcastic about Google's huge number of messaging products... I fully agree with your statement, their move totally makes sense from an IP protection standpoint.
Nissan also has the XStorage home consumer brand rival (in the UK at least) to Tesla's PowerWall: https://www.nissan.co.uk/experience-nissan/electric-vehicle-...

Nissan planned the project well in advance of Tesla's PowerWall, but Tesla beat them to market (and brand/name recognition advantage) by building PowerWalls with new stock batteries, whereas Nissan waited for enough car batteries to return second hand from the market before starting their XStorage brand and so far as they have admitted have never sold a new battery in an XStorage.

(It's an interesting factor to consider that Nissan had to wait so long to start their second hand battery use systems. As much, sometimes warranted, flak as Leafs get for battery degradation, the batteries overall have lasted generally longer in "first use" directly in cars than Nissan at first projected, even despite higher sales than Nissan projected for the Leaf. It fits other statistics that EVs are kept by first owners for longer than average compared to other cars, and in general are lasting longer as cars than early EV skeptics predicted.)
He got just what he asked for, so maybe this example doesn't work for you?
One, you can't use race, gender, etc unless it's relevant to the job, but here it could be seen as being relevant to the job. Two, a board director position is not a job, and so it's not covered by this law.
I know a dozen companies in the Seattle area looking for someone with your expertise. Find me on LinkedIn, and I can connect you.
No

For one thing a board position isn't a job.

Also for some reason whenever a company tries to fight discrimination some people accuse them of discrimination, it's wierd
People's primal need to 'kill the bad thing' is completely dysfunctional in our modern world, and on the Internet, hopelessly unrealistic. (There's always Tor. You can't completely get rid of something...not if it has enough interest.)

I even feel bad for the platforms due to this push and pull, with them always in the middle. Always being pressured one way or another: 'Allow this content, you're censoring us!' or 'Take down this content, it's abhorrent!'

Since the companies are the organisational equivalent of sociopaths anyway, surely they can make the hard decisions. Why not just have filters? If users don't want racist, terrible content, then just tick a box in their settings that will tune their personal algorithm to not show it! Then it's their fault they're only siloing themselves further into their own echo chamber - not the platforms'.
This applies fairly universally. As in any company based in country Z and operating in countries A through Y with differing laws.

It's an intractable problem that's always been present, but what were once 'edge cases' are now front and centre as a result of technology bringing the world closer together, and therefore highlighting the areas of conflict.
