Why do consumer-grade cameras have fewer physical buttons than professional-grade cameras, in your mind?

Is it because physical buttons are expensive to make?

Or is it because a camera with fewer buttons is easier to use for untrained users?

My opinion is that it's mostly the latter.
No like pinterest these sites too have heavily gamed image search and often end up pushing relevant search results.

Also the results are often useless, for example they upscale 320x240 images into several resolutions like 1280x720, etc just to make sure it beats all search filters.

This is definitely not a win imo.
I think I mostly agree with you but then I have a mental block when "hiding stuff that's not needed".

How about just leave them there, and the most important buttons and controls in a dedicated area at the top of the remote? Perhaps in a red blaring border box?

I think this is a layout problem, no need to hide stuff.
> practice this means that, since no one (including the chair) has read the rules,

That's usually not the case, esoteric questions of the rules usually arise because parties have read the rules and at least one of them thinks they have found a clever exploit, and at least one disagrees.

The parliamentarian, who may or may not be a lawyer (and when they are, very often so are a lot of the members, and anyhow, while there is a similarity to the roles, they aren't, at least relevant to the task at hand, being employed to practice law per se, except to the extent that the body is one whose rules have legal force.)

> if you speed on the highway you are putting other peoples lives at risk

If you drive at all you are theoretically putting other people's lives at risk. Everyone always has to exercise prudence when they drive in order to mitigate that risk. If their judgment is bad and they cause an accident, they are held legally liable for the harm they cause, and that gives people a strong incentive to not cause an accident. That, in a sane society, would be considered sufficient as a matter of public policy, and the government could just stop worrying about it and move on to more important things.

But ticketing someone because of an arbitrary number posted on a sign, which might have little or no relationship to the speed a reasonable and prudent person under the actual conditions on the actual highway would choose to drive, is not protecting people's lives. It's the government tapping an alternate source of revenue because it doesn't want to just admit it needs more money and raise taxes. Not to mention decreasing everyone's respect for the law, since everyone knows that under current conditions speed limits are unenforceable (and what enforcement does exist is arbitrary), and doing what it would take to actually enforce speed limits completely would be a draconian violation of our rights that no citizen of a free society should accept.

> I think we probably should have a satellite tracking every car and issuing a ticket as soon as a car speeds.

I think the government should stop trying to micromanage every aspect of people's lives and focus on protecting our rights.
It is true that better datasets are sorely needed, but what would you suggest Yann and other researchers do about it in this situation?
Oh, that turkey. The movie, not the web site.

I once went to an industry presentation where someone on that project described the workflow.The project got into a cycle where the animators would animate on first shift, rendering was on second shift, printing to film was done on third shift. The next morning, the director, producer, and too many studio execs would look at the rushes from the overnight rendering. Changes would be ordered, and the cycle repeated.

The scene where the "talent" is being sucked out of players had problems with the "slime" effect. Production was stuck there for weeks as a new thing was tried each day. All the versions of this, of which there were far too many, were shown to us.

Way over budget. Cost about $80 million to make, which was huge in 1996. For comparison, Goldeneye (1995) cost $60 million.
They may be "recommended" every 6 months, but practically nobody does that. In fact, in surveys, only about half of respondents see a dentist once a year. There's also little evidence to support the necessity of twice-annual dental checkups.

State-backed Covid-19 disinfo spreads faster and farther than local news outlets
Here in Europe messaging systems took off around year 2000 because they were free alternatives to SMSes. Network effects were small and people switched a lot. Those effects are huge now but I believe that if we had to start paying for Messenger or WhatsApp we would switch to something else, probably Telegram.

WhatsApp used to require a small payment many years ago but would extend the free trial period if one did not pay. Maybe they were A/B testing the willingness of people to pay. They even blocked the app for a few days sometimes, then invariably unblocked it after a few days. Somebody paid, almost everybody didn't.

About Events, I didn't even know they have an app for that. I looked for it on Google Play and didn't find it. Is it part of the Facebook app? I saw people using Eventbrite when showing up at events. No in person events yet after the end of the lockdown.
Ah the message functionality in the mobile site has returned? All the removal did was successfully stop me from using Facebook on my phone at all (thanks, Facebook!). I will not be starting again.

Nah, it feels very different because Instagram et al has gamified the whole thing. Bob's labrador page is its own space, separate in a way from the rest of the internet. Bobslabs on Instagram is implicitly competing with celebrities and 'influencers' whether Bob likes it or notand that changes the feel.
Interesting. Can you cite any examples if it isn't uncommon?
How to Make a Wall Like a Curtain, Undulating Brick Facade in Germany
They call it the "DuckDuckGo Privacy Browser" yet it sends data back to their servers on every site you visit. Collecting all your search terms and saving them wasn't enough, now they want data on all the sites you visit outside of the DDG search page. That they refuse to turn it off tells you they are just as data-focused as every other company. They should update their app description: "By the way, every website you visit is being sent back to our servers, don't worry it's just for data collection purposes, no personal information, just every website you visit (LOL)"

For those of you who don't understand, Yes they are saving data on all your search terms, and Yes they are saving data on these favicon requests, don't be so naive, they admit it themselves. They are not going to turn this feature off because it is too valuable to have all your information on all the sites you visit
> When people say "nothing to hide" they mean nothing to hide _from Law Enforcement_.

I don't think so. I think people simply mean they have a reasonable expectation of privacy in all of their personal activities. There are lots of things I say and do that law enforcement would not be interested in at all, but that I still want to keep private, simply because I want to. I shouldn't have to give a reason; privacy should be the default. People who genuinely want to share every little detail of their personal lives already have Facebook.

There is an entire world of books covering this about Toyota. Automation doesn't translate in lower costs necessarily.

Higher production volume means more material purchased, increased warehouse costs, people hired for warehousing, and everything related.

So it all depends on the organization.
Yeah, it is not going to compile everything. For most Java apps, which were built in a world where startup time was a known disadvantage of the JVM, they will probably be better off with a JITed VM anyway. This is more of a new capability, allowing JVM languages the ability to move into usecases where they have never shined before. Like CLI apps, for example. I would expect most usage of AOT compilation will be for new software, not existing software.

That being said, generics and factory patterns aren't a problem for graal at all. Reflection and dynamic class loading are the biggest offenders.
Eh, sorry, I was making a lame joke.
Not specific to the article but about the growth team structure at Pinterest.

Is growth an engineering/product led org? Does it have a marketing leader as well?

I've come across a couple instances where growth responsibilities seem not in the land of marketing and I'm curious how those teams are structured and why.
I predicted a Trump win. Actually I said that Trump would win against Hillary but lose to Bernie. I still believe that to be the case. Though I like many of Hillary's ideas (such as freedom of movement in the western hemisphere) Hillary had too much baggage to win. She doesn't have the charisma to shake the baggage. Added to that after the DNC debacle (also after my prediction) there was no transfer of support from Bernie to Hillary. This was the final nail in her campaign. The main surprise to me was how close it ended up being. In hindsight Trump is the inevitable result of decades of gas-lighting. It may also be the pivotal moment in US democratic history where the majority re-assumes responsibility for their government. An awakening of sorts.... if it doesn't get hijacked by subversive political operatives.
The trigger phrase for Mandarin Siri is “嘿 Siri”, so anything involving black something would most likely trigger it.
> The idea of having a revolution to replace the bourgeoise with the workers was tried, people watched, they saw it led to dictatorship and so it just got harder and harder to be an open advocate for that.

Your thesis can't be correct, because:

The idea of fascist ethnostates also ended poorly, the last time around - and yet here we are, watching their ideas enjoy a renaissance.

Observing that ideas have been tried, and have failed, clearly does not kill those ideas. If it did, we wouldn't be having this conversation now.
Yea, you still can get the info but how many people do really care. I am just saying the people would be more aware on how much they are being taxed. Imo making it obvious like US does would be more helpful even if it is not as convenient

I used to live in Turkey, where taxes on some stuff are insane but most people won't ever know because it is not as obvious. In a similar vein, income tax is also quite hidden in Turkey, at least from yhe perspective of employee
Well... maybe not here in Asia. The only time they will be introduced to western historical figures is in their design history class, of which there are likely to be no more that two. They would certainly never hear it at high school.

Also, wherever they come from, young people nowadays tend to jump straight into Pinterest, Deviant Art etc. These collections are not curated, and are, to them, little more that images without context. They may have seen MG's work in this manner, but would be unlikely to know his name.

This is very different to when I was at school. Browsing a library is a very different experience to browsing the web.

how does it compare to other countries? I really hate articles which claim some numbers without comparing with other countries and trend there
Is it the news agency's fault, or the reader's fault? In this case, it really isn't clear that it's not "real news". But I see plenty of people on social media sharing articles from news sites where they're clearly marked as an editorial or opinion piece, and believing or treating them as if they were exactly the same as a news article that attempts to paint a neutral picture of the facts.

Do newspapers need to put an explanation of what an opinion piece is at the top of every opinion piece?
For me one of the pain points I had as a beginner was setting the DNS records. I couldn't figure out what I was doing and the propagation time was making me anxious because I never knew if I implemented it right. Also, I think SNS has a limit of 10000 domains, do you know what to do after that?

Yeah, but most of the time it is used with --no-fallback. I personally don't really see the point of a fallback...I'd rather have it fail on me and know the reason why than to just become a normal JVM app as a fallback.
Reflection, factory patterns, type parameters/generics are are all handled by Graal. You just need to make the appropriate config file for your app.
I assume that's why they restrict its use now, because the overhead of repair/stress isn't worth the 2% thrust.

During WW2 there's a good chance they had no idea what they'd be up against whilst they were developing this jet, so they built in a theoretical 2% improvement switch with a large caveat incase the 2% improvement ever gave them the edge.

I think the use of the VMAX switch is only warranted if the ship would otherwise be destroyed or lost if it were not used, which seems like a very unlikely scenario.
If you host your own Bitwarden server you don't have to worry about that.

Also different expectations
Since their introduction around 2000, AOT compilers have been special purpose.

There are several features in the platform for dynamic code generation that are very hard to make work in an AOT scenario.
Also worth mentioning they're closed-source, US-based and for-profit. Why exactly do people trust them? Simply because they write a few articles/ads saying "privacy is important"?

If you're willing to sacrifice search quality for privacy, as in switching from Google to DuckDuckGo, then you might as well take a step further and switch from Google to Searx/Ask.Moe.

I don't know if this is true, but I've been many websites that actually claim that they have an extra deal they can't show you until you put the item in the cart. I used to see those a lot a few years ago, not sure if it was a real legal thing or just a trick to get people to add it, but that was definitely a thing and not related to tax+shipping.
> just like the police can get a search warrant for a bad person's home or a bar where a lot of bad people are congregating and planning and doing bad things, we think they should also be allowed to do that in the online world.

Bad analogy, because a search warrant for one bad person's home or bar does not require the government to have keys to everyone's home and bar, just in case they need to search it.

In other words, the problem is not the "get a search warrant" part. It's the "break strong encryption so no one's data is secure, just in case we need to search anyone's data" part.

Which is why most commercial AOT compilers for Java have been mostly focused on embedded deployments first, and as code caches or fast startup path on enterprise scenarios.

I haven't followed the specifics, either, but it looks like it was introduced back in March. When I reached out to my Senators and Reps back then I got a reply from my House Rep (who I believe was supportive of the bill). The bill is currently in the Senate and only this week is getting "marked up" in the Judiciary Committee--I imagine if your Senator is on that committee it's more important to reach out.

Sadly, I think issues need constant re-engaging since they pop up under different names and in different forms.

I love that 1996 HTML solved deep linking. It works flawlessly: https://www.spacejam.com/cmp/lineup/quiz1a.html

Look, I just linked to a wrong answer the middle of a quiz. It perfectly preserved all the state. (Fun quiz, too.)

This is mostly a tongue in cheek argument, but it has the benefit of being true.

Sadly the quiz seems broken at question 6. But you can even un-break the quiz by manually editing the URL to question 7: https://www.spacejam.com/cmp/lineup/quiz7.html

Imagine trying to do that with a React app. (And I say that as a fan of react apps.)

The ending of the quiz is hilarious, by the way.
My take:
The “nothing to hide” argument is a fallacy for two reasons:
(1) The connotation that things discussed in private are bad. True, criminals may discuss illegal activity in private, but that does not mean everyone’s private conversations are illegal.
(2) The notion of what needs “hiding” is subject to opinion, and changes over time. You may not be breaking any laws today, but if the law changes and governments have access to your past data, you are now vulnerable and have nowhere to hide.

It's not very easy to compare java's performance with that of other compiled languages, because of the GC. The closest native analogue is go, which is much slower than java, although it's not quite a fair comparison since go uses a concurrent GC by default and java does not.

Java is quite fast for what it does, and I don't expect any runtime to make it significantly faster (aside the fact that java isn't slow, and its performance problems are memory usage and lack of value types, which native vs. JIT has no impact on).
We called them "swirlies" in middle school/high school. But I've never actually seen someone get one, and it could well be mostly apocryphal. And it wasn't something you sought out, it was like, you were getting bullied.
