The moderation of the negative comments on this post, for once, seems a bit overkill.

I think what's missing here in the moderation is the visceral reaction that people have to such a product, (to the point where their feedback seems a bit unproductive), is as much part of the conversation here as the constructive criticism.

The people who have a complete gut reaction against this don't want to enter the conversation with criticism that can seem like a negotiation with the founders, where the founders can reply with "ok we'll work on adding more cool privacy features".

They don't want to engage with the product in the first place.

However they feel that without shouting it from the rooftops, a perceived consensus might emerge that this type of product is OK bar a little privacy refinement, and thus be forced upon them by team members who don't have the same privacy appreciations as they do.

Edit: I'd like to add that I don't attribute any malice towards the founders of this. I accept that they're trying to make the right product for them.
I believe there was a man named Armond Hammer who was the CEO of the company that owns Arm&Hammer (the baking soda company) at one point.

Has anyone priced an option to cover the downside risk of an auction? Is it really the expected value of what people leave on the table from an underpriced IPO?
Companies typically don't pay for hours worked but fo the value that is delivered. It's common to see people work a lot more than 40 hrs a week as well without overtime, and this is legal as per most employment contracts.

If you are a freelancer billing hours, then yes, I agree it would not be ethical. But still it's somewhat of a gray area. In theory, you should be able to raise your hourly rate to compensate for the fact that you can get more done in less time. But in practice, you might not get any clients if you advertise a higher than usual hourly rate, at least until you build a reputation.
I agree with you and find myself in a similar situation and mindspace re: time boxing. I found having a KVM switch to have to actually "go to work" and "go to personal" was a good mental switch. And make sure you have a good chair. I was having minor back issues before I upgraded my chair with how long I was spending at the desk.

The main US strategic advantage over Russia is the networked military platforms under the "Total Global Awareness" paradigm which are able to deploy smart precision weapons, and the satellites are at the core of it. In general, one has either to build its own capabilities up to the level similar to the opponent's, which isn't an option for Russia in this case, or to bring down the opponent's capabilities to the one's own level, and that is the only option that at least somewhat plausible for Russia here. So, it is pretty logical that the satellites are going to be the first priority target as much as it is possible for Russian capabilities.
The open-source RISC-V core 'SonicBoom' aka 'Boom v3' has a claimed IPC that beats the ARM generation in the raspi4. It's only on FPGAs currently though. All it needs is someone to make them as real chips! It's really something interesting i think.

It can't be difficult to design an auction where the amount of $$ raised is set, with the "price" being the valuation (ie. what % of the company the investors are willing to own).
You seem bummed out by the idea of where the world is going.

Look back at "The Future" as thought of by people in the 1950's and see how accurate they were. So don't think you will be accurate.

I find that dressing the part also helps. Something about trying to be a professional engineer in my shorts and britney spears t-shirt doesn't seem to motivate.
Consider the incentives fast fashion vendors have, and it seems clear that completely AI generated product photography is inevitable.

It's expensive and slow to hire a photographer and a studio and a model, and you have to ship the clothes there ahead of the launch on your website to have them spend all day getting in and out of different outfits while stylists keep their hair tidy, then the photographs go to the art direction team to be photoshopped to match the site aesthetic...

If you can just get someone in the factory in China to snap a photograph of the latest batch of dresses and tops and skirts as they come off the sewing table, then you can just send them into a GAN, and have style-matched 'photographs' generated showing the clothes on a selection of different models, each of whose appearance is perfectly tailored to appeal to different market segments.

You can have high quality creative on your website and in the product feed to Google the same day, and start taking orders before the inventory starts piling up.

Then next week, you can do it again with the next set of designs.

I hope you're diversifying and trying more than one service to sell your goods? Especially one that doesn't charge you anything?
This is surprisingly entertaining and enjoyable. Well done! Here's a piece that I created with this site:
https://i.ibb.co/cD0ttLY/index.png
Reading Viktor Frankl’s book Man’s Search for Meaning has been the best thing I ever read on this topic. Changed my whole perspective.

The tldr version goes something like: “Meaning is irrelevant, but humans need meaning to live. Pick any meaning you want. Doesn’t matter what, just choose something. Then go for it with all your might. If you ever find it wasn’t a good meaning, pick a new one. You’re a different person now anyway”
Perseverance often leads to a type of pseudo-meditation. When you work very hard towards a goal such as weight loss through exercise, you have to focus on one thing, and this can be almost meditative. This is one reason people find things like running or swimming to be 'relaxing', even though they're also 'tiring'.
Yes except the leasing cost is not $150% of the cost of the laptop per year.
Ahh. A shame. Some say that AGI requires significant advances in philosophy, which I did. Some say it's extreme simplicity, which the project I'll do because of this one pretty much is. Some say it's many other things, all of which it is. I'd have loved to discuss even one criticism of my code and ideas, but pretty much no people have ever been willing to engage with anything I do. Maybe they're tired of AGI, wanting it but unwilling to actually do what it takes, even just "pay attention". Maybe they taught me to be tired of them and myself. No matter. I won't abandon the ancient dream. Well, if you're somehow reading this, I wish you well anyway.
The original photo showed up if viewers of the retweets clicked on the trimmed photo, but viewers was not able to see the photographer’s name unless such action was taken, the ruling said.

Interesting. This is how Twitter works. On the other hand, it’s also true that it’s technically copyright infringement, since the reproduction is trimmed. I wonder if Twitter has a duty to enforce copyright in both trimmed and untrimmed cases.
This is why internal tools that can modify account settings and such need to have audit trails.

Yeah, ironic how there is nothing on https://about.gitlab.com/pricing/ about cheaper packages based on the customers location. But they want to pay you less as an employee based on your location.
I don't use Twitter so I could be wrong about what happened, but this seems crazy. Three people retweeted a photo that included the photographer's name. However, Twitter didn't show the name in the thumbnail because it cropped the image (but was still visible when enlarged).

Somehow, this led to the government mandating Twitter to release the identities of the retweeters? Does anyone know how a random image from 10 years ago that picked up nearly zero traction on Twitter made it to the top court in Japan?

Another thought: what if a website displays the image lower down on the page so someone has to scroll to see the bottom? Is that also an infringement?
It would have been a great idea before this. if they survive, they 100% should
My understanding is:

Photographer published a photo on their own website.
Tweeter posted it on Twitter. Twitter trimmed it, removing the credit line.
Retweeter retweeted it. Photo was still trimmed.
Photographer sued Retweeter for distributing their work without proper credit.

An obvious question would be if Photographer asked them to delete the tweet(s) first, and why they chose to sue Retweeter not Tweeter. I'm guessing it's because the photographer is seeking financial compensation and the retweeter looked someone financially capable. This disclosure is a preliminary step to further lawsuits demanding remedies.
> it would not have been possible without these languages

What critical features Clojure has, which don't exist in other platforms/languages?
Then it is time to create a formal, enforceable separation between person and profession. That is, what one does personally is taken separately from professional conduct and vice versa.
This tells us that Google isn't charging, but not what else you need to set up and how much they charge. That part seems pretty opaque.
> But generating a model-image that suits a given demographic, that expresses "what's becoming hip right now" and so-forth would be extremely hard

Just generate a spread of different looks, test them on different audiences, and measure engagement. Feed that back into the parameterization for generating the next set of images.
We got our rent cut in half. Pre-pandemic we were getting a fantastic bargain on an office. Mid-pandemic, even with the rate cut, we're getting a terrible deal on a mailbox. :-)
Let's go ahead and put to rest this theory that they're going to cease to exist. They don't have enough resources to be destroyed.

Suppose the naysayers are right and they're going to go bankrupt. What happens in bankruptcy? They sell their assets for fair market value.

To a new non-profit that uses them for the same purpose.

All that requires is that they raise an amount of money similar to what they ordinarily have to raise to continue operating regardless. They do, after all, replace all of their computers with newer ones from time to time already.
Is there some special right for a photographer in Japan to have their name shown on an image, that determines whether a reproduction of it is an infringement? As far as I know, you acknowledge the service will transform your work as part of the ToS for uploading an image to it.

Unless, of course, the photographer wasn't the one who uploaded the picture to Twitter in the first place, but then why is the case hinged on whether the photog's name was cut off in the re-tweet, versus just the picture being copied by someone without permission?

And, going after the re-tweeters seems like a fundamental misunderstanding of the service. They aren't really copying anything, that's all a mechanism of the platform.

If I were Twitter I'd be counting my lucky stars that my largest userbase is in the US where, as broken as our copyright system is, I can't imagine this wacky judicial reasoning prevailing.

GoodJob author here. I'm curious why you're specifically looking for listen/notify? I'm trying to prioritize that in the backlog.
While I'm not a psychologist my reading of that seems to confirm one of the aspects of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) which is to clarify ones values and work towards them.

For example; it might be one's goal to travel to another country but they are afraid of flying. Traveling is a goal/value thus they would work towards accepting the presence and sensations of the fear of flying in order to achieve that goal. That's a greatly simplified description of ACT but you get the gist.
There's still many other images that the flare isn't affecting that area at all though, right? The point is that there's many different images used here, and instead of combining them in a way to remove transient artifacts, which is the norm, they combined them in a way to emphasize transient artifacts, which is not something people normally would want to do.

It's worse than any single image that's used to make it, so why make it at all?
Agreed. Avoid the need for Founderpool by avoiding becoming a founder =P
Are you seriously under the impression that the impetus to cut entitlements is coming from the broad base of voters and not the ruling class? Trump campaigned on not cutting Social Security and Medicare.
Plus, if there is any legitimate concern about AWS having access to KMS keys (at this point it would be that they own the servers, and that's about it), you can roll a CloudHSM and import your own keys.

KMS is very clear about it's usage and what it involves. It's obvious that with Symmetrical Encryption AWS obviously needs to know the other end of the key at some point so that it can decrypt the data.

However, as customers can't even export these keys and the whole system is based on using KMS to actually perform the decrypt operations it is a non-starter. It's a lot more secure than most infrastructure which probably encrypts locally but is stored in a broom cupboard with a $10 lock.

It is simply impossible to accurately measure knowledge worker productivity on an individual basis. Any attempt to do so causes serious unintended consequences where employees attempt to game the metrics instead of doing the right thing for the business.
>In 2018, however, Intellectual Property High Court ruled that an act of retweeting does not infringe copyright but breaches creators’ right to show their names and their works as they are. The court ordered the disclosure of the email addresses of the three retweeters.

So how would this work with sites that auto convert links to embeds? eg. you post a link to a photograph, but the site converts your link to an embedded photograph, are you now liable? What if this was done retroactively (eg. links to embed was added later as a feature)?
Two things in this case. Attribution (which was missing and that’s on Twitter), the other, copyright infringement (the Twitter accounts who used the photo image without permission).

Yes, but which open source project publishes CPEs for their vulnerability information? :-) Plus, an important part of every security advisory is specifying which versions are affected by a particular vulnerability versus which contain the fix and are thus no longer affected.
Well, to be fair, the judge in the dissenting position (1/5) freed the 3 retweeters from blame because they did not cut off the photographer's name, but rather Twitter did in order to fit the aspect ratio displayed within the application.

I'm still confused though after reading the article.
DefinedCrowd is pretty successful actually, just so you know this isn't sour grapes. And it isn't about a meeting 4 years ago, the very first line of the article says that Amazon was an investor (at seed stage, probably a few hundred K).

So the problem isn't that someone heard about DefinedCrowd and decided years later to make something like it. Amazon made a significant investment in an early player in this space, and then started building a direct competitor while still presumably having both access and influence over that company. Doesn't seem responsible or ethical to me.
I would be really surprised if they did not have audit trails. What gives you the impression they did not? The suspicion is that the credentials were stolen via social engineering. I wonder if employees needed 2FA to log in to these tools.
I don't understand how anyone is shocked by this.
I think the best argument is that there are a lot of small financial institutions (small referring mainly to the tech groups at them, that is, so you might hear that some big bank uses eg Haskell but really it’s just some group within their IB arm. I’m sure google has some Haskell around too), and often the kind of people they employ tend to like weird languages.

Plenty of financial institutions use lots of c++ or java and plenty use cobol too.
Thanks for the data point! It's definitely not for everyone, but the teams that actually need to be in the same room really love Sidekick.

Seems pretty complicated compared to Rust's `include_bytes!("path/to/file")`. Sounds like it might have a compile time advantage though, seeing as it produces a seperate package.
> Presumably you know this, but it's not supposed to be democratic.

Yes, that's why it's bad.

I don't think occupying a lot of land or joining the army at a higher rate entitles rural voters to more power than anyone else. If we're going down the route of determining whose vote should count for more, those two qualities seem to be near the bottom of the list.
It probably does, and it probably wouldn't have stopped this.
>The problem ideas are the popular memeplexes that propagate the meme that all opposing ideas should be censored.

No one is arguing this. This is a strawman position no one actually holds.
I don't think we can just look the other way because the negative behavior is caused by a feeling of rage and impotency.

I don't know who's "we" or who's looking the other way.

Everyone on every part of the political spectrum has one or more mob-tendencies they'd like to stamp out (or at least look like they're stamping out). And yet this situation continues. Indeed, it seems like the whole this different mobs gunning for each other.

It seems like one can't just take negative phenomena in isolation, say "that bad" and go get it. Or you can and everyone's doing it and things are still in a mess and you're part of the mess now.

You actually need positive, concrete alternatives to mob behavior. The problem in many ways is that the mob is also a lot of people, including other mobs, favorite enemy.
Well, a retweet is intrinsically attributed, that's the whole point. Does it need to be in any specific format (e.g. label on the image) that the photographer desires? That doesn't seem feasible.

In the case that the original tweeter wasn't the photographer, I see that infringement as the (only) problem here. And the only information Twitter should be compelled to provide is of the original poster.
For me I dont really like working from home, but I would like the flexibility of having most time in the office but spending chunks of time like a few weeks or even a whole summer elsewhere. Doesn't save much on office space though.

The self-description of "Shudu Gram" as "world's first digital supermodel" ignores the history of Lara Croft's spread in The Face magazine (in Versace, amongst others), or the likes of Hatsune Miku and more Japanese idoru.
> Twitter trimmed it, removing the credit line.

As far as I understand, Twitter does not crop photos, at least not without user intervention, so I don't understand how this part of it could have happened.
> without the internet

I've been forced to work without the internet for large swaths of time. In the beginning its a pain, but once you get all the resources you need local, you can speed up past what you can do with the internet.

The key, for me, is to work without the internet, keeping a list of things you need and when you hit a hard snag, go online, grab all the things you need, repeat. This allows you to slowly accumuate almost everything you need local.

Now you have the ability to full-text index the entire shebang and when you get to the point of real-time responsive full-text search on all your manuals and all the source code (libraries included), you'll be kicking yourself for not getting to that point much sooner.

It was truly a game-changer for me. Googling for answers and filtering through the crap is a huge time sink.
> It released it's own version, Intel64.

Well, they licensed AMD's and CALLED it their own.
IIRC, one reason why there are so few images on the Japanese Wikipedia is that it's almost impossible to avoid running into legal trouble with pictures there.
>but rather Twitter did in order to fit the aspect ratio displayed within the application.

This is bonkers. The attribution is still there, you just have click it. Besides, I doubt anyone who cared about the image is going to be content looking at the low-res thumbnail. The reputational damage done to the photographer is negligible.

Punishing the retweeters is also problematic because they themselves didn't crop the picture, twitter did. What does this mean for cropping that's done by the user-agent, or is otherwise device specific? eg. you post on the desktop site, where nothing is cropped, so you think everything is okay. Little do you know on the mobile site, all the images get cropped. Are you now liable as well?
There is. Japan's "copyright" laws are different and include Moral rights (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copyright_law_of_Japan#Moral_r...) which are nontransferable and include the right to how your work is attributed.

I'm not sure why it is the retweeters, rather than Twitter who are responsible for the automatic cropping that occurs when you retweet. But I neither a Lawyer nor a Japanese Copyright expert.
That's a very interesting idea. Do you think people will be more forthcoming this way?
