What can be said about that kind of attitude towards other human beings who are your employees and whose labor is the source of your profits?

It's insane. And the sane response is to save yourself. And if they don't care about you, you don't care about them, and you sue their ass off to get your bills paid, and you tell their customers all about it loud and clear.

If businesses like that are 'worried', that's a damn good thing. Because their attitude is inhuman, and they belong in the sewer of history. Along with Mr. Turtle from Kentucky.

I don't think anyone should freak out when they see a tweet like this: deep learning is just one particularly trendy part of ML, which is just one piece of data science, which is just one job title in the "working with data" career space. I think that most people with backgrounds or interests in DL are very well equipped to participate in the (ever more important) data science world.
I think this gets the cause and effect backwards. No corporate lawyer prefers the GPL, so when companies start new open source projects, they don’t pick the GPL. Once a project has been started, GPLing it doesn’t really make it any easier to get it non-corporate support.
Just curious, but does anyone know a business using OpenBSD in production other than the Pushover App?
> normally platforms also have to pay for content

? This doesn't seem generically true to me. Facebook, Twitter, Google, YouTube, Vimeo, Flickr, Instagram, Vine, FourSquare, Yelp, Pinterest, DeviantArt, LiveJournal, Xanga, Medium, etc. None of these platforms pay for user-generated content like link posting. When analyzing this issue you can't get away from considering what the platform is a platform for. If it's a platform for UGC, the general rule is that the sharing of the content is a service provided to users at no cost. The vast majority of users receive no monetary payment from these platforms. Some of them rev share if they advertise on content, but that's about as far as it goes. Facebook should rev share on any revenue from advertisements they place on news content ($0).
Or just use poetry/pipenv shell (or poetry/pipenv run for one-off commands). Both provide a good wrapper, although poetry seems a bit more stable these days.
this claim is contested , and some would even say disproven; why do you keep bringing it up like a life raft.
The draft law explicitly prevents Facebook from blocking only news outlets that attempted to negotiate [1]:

> The draft code would prohibit digital platforms discriminating against the news content of news media businesses on the basis of their participation in the code.

This is crucial. A negotiation that you cannot genuinely back out from is not a negotiation at all, it is effectively extortion. If Facebook cannot back out of a negotiation with an individual news outlet, I think it will choose to back out of news altogether. If Facebook is being honest that news is not much of a commercial interest for them, this is the rational choice.

The 80/20 rule in the ACA has to be one of the most perverse incentives out there. It states 80% of premiums have to go to providing care, and all admin costs and profits have to come out of the remaining 20%.

It’s obvious why this might sound like a good idea, but only slightly less obvious why it’s a terrible one. It means that the primary mechanism available to increase profits is to drive up care spending as much as possible. Because if the 80% is a bigger number, the 20% will be too.
> Also I haven't figured out yet what part of the law actually would imply that Facebook needs to blackout news wholesale. As I read it the law merely requires that Facebook negotiate with each publisher.

A negotiation is something that ends up with mutually agreeable terms, or no deal.

That's not the case here. The news companies do not need to negotiate in good faith, they are allowed to force the tech companies into binding arbitration. The arbitration will of course be done by people in the pockets of the news companies. It's legally mandated that what is considered is the cost of producing news and the benefit that the tech companies get from news. The inverse of the benefit for the news companies and the costs for the tech companies are not to be considered.

Oh, and that no deal option you'd usually have? Not in this "negotation". If the tech companies serve any news from any source, including non-Australian sources, they're at the mercy of any qualifying news org that wants to fleece them in this kangaroo arbitration.

Lack of public documentation has to be my #1 pain point with proprietary software over the years.

Especially in the EMR space, putting up barriers to access basic documentation is quite unreasonable.

Public documentation is not going to suddenly allow your competition to gain an advantage, while your own firm benefits from users being able to easily google and get authoritative answers from your own official documentation.
As someone who as only barely dipped their development toes into the waters of EMR/EHR systems, medical arenas are not the place for workarounds, under the table systems, or creative re-routings.

There are two reasons for this: one, medical terminals are super, hilariously locked down. The medical systems I've worked on are ultra-hostile instances that are often centered around detecting and eradicating non-explicitly-authorized applications, even to the point of kneecapping actually-needed software.

Second and more practically, malpractice suits are vicious wars of discovery and bitter, knock-down-drag-out compliance fights. As with so many things, the legal fiction of accessibility software sounds nice but would not stand up to the scouring scrutiny of legal counsel and defendants with critical reasoning skills and powers of discussion (and deduction) above that of policy and compliance controls. I don't mean to belittle your idea at all, but much like the doctrine of Sovereign Citizens, all is well and good until you actually encounter a judge or human with reasoning skills and the ability to trivially perceive what's /actually/ going on, and then it all falls apart.
The underlying API is a decade or so older than the current version of the human interface guidelines. It's entirely possible that if they were writing the API today, they'd leave that capability out.

Was there clear and obvious evidence of the lies, or was it largely your testimony?

If there was clear and obvious evidence of the lies then you can submit a complaint to the bar (or whatever the disciplinary body is for lawyers in your state). The judge is NOT actually the one with the authority to enforce these professional obligations.

Similar experience.

Had an app reviewer when my app first launched, who was complaining that 2FA was failing for them, so they couldn't allow the app to go live.

I was livid. It had worked for EVERY beta tester.

It turns out it was 100% the tester's fault. It "mysteriously" fixed itself. Aka, they realized that the 2FA was via email instead of SMS and finally after 2 weeks of back and forth, passed the app.
One must also consider the ethics of wasting human life and skill on something that can be efficiently automated while other tasks lie undone.

Either way I agree with the parent comment, this is a public policy question about how to make sure people are able to maintain lucrative lives (education policy, monetary policy, social policy) not a question for the business making an existing task more efficient and expecting them to answer what society wants to do with the freed time.

Especially an immutable database (like Git's index) sounds like a very powerful concept. No more need for modification dates (they would be in the change record) and no need at all for separate log tables and all that guff. Every CRUD system ends up with some sort of audit log tacked on, costing heaps in terms of both maintenance, storage and extra processing for every change. In addition I would want there to be a command analogous to `vacuum` to truncate this history while the database is online, similar to Git's rebase or filter-branch.
You'd be surprised. Typically, you'll find that jetliners are older and therefore have an older tech stack, but also that they're redundant. Multiple pitot tubes, for example. On newer GA planes, there may be less redundant sensors, but the technology running them can be more modern and more powerful. The tools on the jet get the job done with two pilots and are there to make money, while the GA airplane is going to be piloted single pilot, and more likely for pleasure.

> Important life decisions (like cancelling a project) are better made based on deep personal values, not as reactions to emotions.

I haven't read Rosenberg's Nonviolent Communication. However, from the Wikipedia page, I find "Rosenberg says that certain ways of communicating tend to alienate people from the experience of compassion: 1) Moralistic judgments implying wrongness or badness on the part of people who don't act in harmony with our values. Blame, insults, put-downs, labels, criticisms, comparisons, and diagnoses are all said to be forms of judgment." This rings true to me - you're alienating people by making a moralistic judgement that the top comment cancelled his project for a bad reason and diagnosing him with poor EQ. People are reacting to that feeling of alienation by down-voting you.
How the world's first "cyberattack" looked 200 years ago
> I'm concerned about the gradual move from GCC to LLVM. The lack of copyleft protections on LLVM means that it's much more dependent on corporate sponsorship, and means that there's a risk that major improvements to LLVM compilers will only become available as proprietary products.

As someone who works within LLVM professionally, I don't think this is particularly likely -- compilers are massive and complicated beasts, and the "moat" for proprietary improvements is small: they're either niche and therefore not of interest to the majority of programmers, or they're sufficiently general and easiest to maintain by releasing back upstream (where Apple, Google, and Microsoft will pay a small army of compiler engineers to keep them working).

Your concern is the one that kept GCC from stabilizing its various intermediate representations for decades, which is why virtually all program analysis research happens in LLVM these days.

Edit: To elaborate on the above: neither Apple, nor Google, nor Microsoft wants to individually maintain LLVM. Microsoft appears (to this outsider) to be actively looking to replace (parts of) MSVC/cl with the LLVM ecosystem, because they're tired on maintaining their own optimizing compiler.

The old city was built when everyone walked everywhere. Stacked meant you didn't have to go far to get to anywhere in the city.

Automobile mobility results in sprawl: many/most people don't want to be stacked if they don't have to. What many here may not realize is how incredibly wide and flat Texas is; driving another mile takes less than a minute, and there's a whole lotta miles to get you some space from neighbors.
Ah, furthermore, looking at a comment below, it seems ATS's support for C libraries is almost identical to Rust's: specify a list of functions and their signatures on the ATS/Rust side. From your adoring descriptions, I had been assuming it simplified the process properly, by allowing importing a C header directly (like Swift can).

(The main difference seems to be ATS allows inline C, since it looks to be tied to C as a compilation target.)
Because I like having a stable system with a known "good for" date, rather than "when it's ready". I particularly like using LTS for systems that I don't want to have to touch very often...just set unattended security updates on and leave it be.

I realize I could do something similar with Debian, but testing isn't generally stable enough for the use cases I have in mind, whereas stable gets stuck with some very old packages. If I need a new package toward the end of the lifespan of a LTS, I can often find PPA. If not, I'll just compile it myself.

It's just my preference. To be honest, probably a big part is that Ubuntu is mostly what I've used the past decade.
Use js fingerprint library. Ban on the fingerprints. Black list the whole provider if it came from a hosting provider. You’ll end up blacklisting real users so you’ll need to ability to whitelist. WebRTC used to be able to pierce proxies to get the real IP via STUN, could try that. You could also check ttl on tcp protocol to see if it’s going through a proxy or client is lying on the user agent header.

There’s more stuff on the client you can do to prevent attackers from just hitting your APIs and forcing them to run a full client with having client solve sort a problem that it needs to provide to the API. You can detect headless browsers as well in JavaScript with a few open source bot detector JavaScript libraries.

I am not surprised at all. When I was a college student on the medical school track, there was a unique opportunity to work alongside doctors in a hospital setting. The job was to be the doctor's "scribe" and input all of the doctors findings, patient history, and document the care provided by the physician (eg, suture repairs, intubations, and other procedures).

It didn't make sense why this job existed until I actually started training on the system. The system is absolutely god awful in terms of UX experience, but after awhile (1-2 months) you get acclimated to it and could complete a chart in <5 minutes.

Some or most of the doctors I worked with absolutely hated the system itself. On many occasions, I have observed doctors input the wrong orders which if they were performed would have had severe consequences. Fortunately, 99.9% of the time the error was caught by the physician or the nurse assigned to the patient. The one instance where it wasn't caught was actually due to human error - nurse gave patient anti-hypertensive med instead of the ordered calcium channel blocker (Cardene vs Cardizem?).

On the worst occasion, one doctor I worked with struggled on a daily basis to input orders into the system. I think it would take 5-6 minutes just to input some basic orders. Someone ended up teaching him how to input the orders in free form text and the nurse(s) would just write up new orders based on that (eg, doctor would write a single order as "cbc,cmp,ua r/o uti, drug screen, CXR 1v r/o pneumonia" and the assigned nurse would recreate the orders in the system in a line-item fashion). Kind of sucks for the nurse, but I think it ended up working out better for both parties.

I ended up dropping out of the doctor career path due to this unique and eye-opening experience as a scribe (not because of the EHR software itself but figured the "doctor life" was not meant for me).
The judge doesn't enforce professional obligations but absolutely enforces perjury. Of course the real question is why was the lawyer testifying at all?
you get that news from your friends that facebook algorithms deign to show you.

They have algorithms to influence. They have said so. They were trying to manipulate people's mood with it for "research"

It's a garbage source of news because of that filter. Even if your friends are lovely, wise, empathetic, intelligent and critically minded and their editorial selection is beyond reproach - that isn't what you get.

Social media sharing helps accelerate the sensationalism of news. Which in turn has been creating very bad situations in our reality. Without social sharing of news, maybe it would be more tame.

The quality of discussions on those platforms would also very likely benefit.

Hopefully other laws are passed with similar responses from tech companies in other countries.

It would be a great sort of reverse-monkey-paw fate. The world could certainly use some good luck right now.

Wrong title: it was not python, it was third-party “daemon” package.

Closing random file descriptors in complex systems is extremely dangerous practice, and I had to debug the same bugs in C++ programs as well.

(The ancient advice to close all file descriptors on demonization only applies to simpler programs where the programmer knows each file descriptor used. Once third-party libraries come into play, this is no longer safe)
There are a number of structural mechanisms that make “getting away with it” difficult. First, the process is adversarial—there is another side with huge incentives to discover any fabrication. Second, there is an ethical duty to reveal misconduct in your knowledge, under punishment of penalties to yourself. It’s not enough for a rich criminal to pay off a lawyer; they have to pay off everyone else who might know. Third, ethics proceedings can destroy a person’s entire livelihood, and the standard is not “proof beyond a reasonable doubt,” but “more likely than not.” And there’s no statute of limitations—misconduct can come back to bite you decades later.
>They are NOT effective in preventing general public from catching Coronavirus

The N95 masks weren't, and aren't, in the sense he meant. People have said over and over, the way the masks we're wearing now are effective is in protecting others from us, should we be infected.

I used to accept that the "party line" changed, but now I think it's just a misunderstanding.
There's the catch: is everything you could possibly want really a short walk/transit away? or is the proliferation of top-end (for you) options in a sprawling city way beyond what can be crammed within walking distance of _your_ home?

> An embedded, immutable, syncable relational database.

Sounds like he wants a blockchain?

A blockchain probably isn't really what OP wants. But funnily enough it does meet all those criteria.

> what I’m after is a database to be embedded on client-side applications itself, be it desktop, browser, mobile, etc.
Thats how most Blockchain clients work - on the client side, with APIs (usually RPCs) to chat with other programs

> Being immutable means that only new information is added, no in-place update ever happens, and nothing is ever deleted.

Immutability is exactly what blockchains were designed for.

> Syncable

Since blockchains are decentralized by nature, this also comes out of the box.

Of course if you choose a blockchain you have to deal with a host of other issues... performance, no SQL (in most clients), harder to debug, etc. But still a fun thought experiment

It's funny this is happening to Google and Facebook, two companies who have forced their take-it-or-leave-it "negotiations" on over a billion users each. They're monopolies, and the amount of power and leverage they have and exploit is insane. Their EULAs are literally a non-negotiable "agree if you want to exist on the Internet".

Do not try to make us feel bad for these companies that someone is also going to do it to them too.
