> People dislike Facebook and other centralized platforms not because they're centralized per-se, but because the user experience is terrible

I'm not sure I agree here. My anecdote is that the experience of Facebook events is superb. People are prompted to fill in pretty good basic information, can discuss arrangements on the "wall", and I'm reminded about my attendance before the event multiple times. The invites also come into a place where I already spend a fair bit of time. I don't know anyone who makes events outside of Facebook within my circle of friends.

> This reads like a tech demo where the tech and decentralization is the selling point, but the truth is, the masses don't know/care about that and rightfully so. The same applies to Mastodon and similar projects.

I agree with this. Until the mainstream narrative realises that giving away all of our personal info is a faux pas, engaging with platforms like this is limited to activists and those who have an incentive for privacy.
I think you would be pretty hard pressed to design a system as functional and as clear as the Oberon System in so compact a manner that you can fit essentially all of it in one book (and implement it with a tiny team): https://people.inf.ethz.ch/wirth/ProjectOberon/index.html

I must admit I was a user of the system many years before I read the book, and I enjoyed reading the book considerably more than working with the system, but it's still a gem of a design.

I learned a technique from a gray beard[0] when I worked as a student sys admin for the CS dept over two decades ago. Whenever typing a destructive command, he'd take his hands off the keyboard and drop them to his side, re-read the command, then put his hands back to press enter.

I do this whenever I'm on a production server (which is rare anyway). I use different colored prompts for local and remote shells.

His open condemnation of the word "Islamophobia" in response to a non-binding motion and posing with a guy wearing a "I'm a Proud Islamophobe" t-shirt inbetween the somebody shooting up a Canadian Mosque and the Christchurch shootings to me is a sign he was getting too mired down in politics and missing the forest for the trees. In both cases there was evidence the shooters were wrapped up in "Intellectual dark web", alt-lite, and alt-right circles and it seems like he missed the danger that others saw because he was blinded by the perception of progressive overreach.

He also has a bit of a reputation for twitter toxicity and he later ended up with anxiety issues and consequently an addiction. It's hard for me to not see him as a cautionary tale of why to avoid getting wrapped up in politics and the culture wars.

My interest in the subject was sparked some 20 years ago when I ran across an article about how people who question the amyloid hypothesis were being shut out of academia. I read up on it, drew the conclusions that I described above, then filed it away.

My gratification at having come to the right conclusion then doesn't match my annoyance that collective groupthink in the field has cost us collectively so much.
meh, people here in Germany are privacy focused as hell and even here nobody cares for more than five minutes when some data scandal breaks, of which we have at least one every year now.

AI, surveillance capitalism, manipulation and so on have been in pop-culture and news for years now, 'the social dilemma' just aired on netflix and a lot of people seem to have watched it, there's a documentary about 'big data' on TV every month, every other sci-fi movie has it as a plot point, we're all aware of it. People are genuinely indifferent about it. People will complain about it in theoretic debates but the number of people who actually delete the apps off their phone is basically zero, which tells you what you need to know.

TLDR from the article:

“I’m not here to teach you how to write a Hollywood movie,” McKee said, the scorn in his voice sending a wave of reassurance through his well-educated audience. But then he drew a triangle on an overhead projector slide: at the top was “Classical Design” (stories with causality, closed endings, linear time, an external conflict, a single, active protagonist); in the other corners he wrote “Minimalism” (open endings, passive protagonists) and “Anti-Structure” (coincidence, nonlinear time). “This course is about the top, about classical design,” he said, pointing at the triangle. “Why? For your careers. As you move down the triangle, your audience shrinks.

The top of the pyramid describes his magnum opus “Story”. For anyone interested in the lower corners I can recommend “Me and You and Memento and Fargo” [1]. This gives an interesting counterpoint to McKee’s shrinking audience hypothesis.

Github hosting is not the be all and end all of open source software development. There are alternatives, ranging from hosting on one of the Chinese public clouds, using 'bulletproof' hosts that cater to such things as phishing groups, cutting a deal with the Russian mob to host development in Russia, hosting on an .onion site, or making connections with the Pirate Bay folks.

That's not necessarily true. We experience vision as a unified whole as well, but we have a blind spot as well. How would you argue that consciousness is a seamless whole and not just the illusion of one?

Not only that, the argument here is supposed to be that youtube-dl is "primarily designed or produced for the purpose of circumventing a technological measure" etc.

If you can remove <1% of the code and somehow cause it to not be that anymore and yet still be something which is useful for the majority of what people do with it, doesn't that just mean it was never that to begin with?
Great suggestion! We'll add a link right after the conference.
What justification do you have for asserting that the safety critical systems are actually separated/isolated? The people at Jeep probably thought their systems were secure, yet the researchers on the Jeep Cherokee attack demonstrated they were not and claim that they could have simultaneously affected 471,000(!) vehicles [1]. Do you think anybody at a car company would dare to claim that their systems are safe enough to bet the lives of 471,000 people on them and take responsibility if they were wrong? Do you think any engineer would, in good conscience, support such a statement and share that responsibility if asked directly? I doubt you could find a single engineer that would feel even remotely comfortable that their procedures are good enough for 1/100th that number and you would never find an executive who would dare claim such a thing in a legally binding way.

Absolutely zero benefit of the doubt should be given to systems where a single error could cause grievous harm to tens of thousands of lives. Such systems should require an absolutely ironclad public legally-binding positive assertion of security with strict criminal liability for failure (blame can not be shifted) that is independently validated before we should even think of accepting their use. We already accept nothing less for systems that are less dangerous such as nuclear reactor meltdowns and systems that are equally dangerous such as nuclear weapons systems. If systems with failure modes many times worse than the atomic bombings of Japan can not be made safe, then they must not be made. Anything less would be so criminally irresponsible that we lack a word for the magnitude of irresponsibility.

> It is about forcing the president to look somebody in the eye before they kill them.

Right, but can you understand that 'the President being able to look somebody in the eye before they killing them' is not a requisite for 'the employment of nuclear weapons being justified'?

We require the president to be able to do B before they can do A. But what if A is the right thing to do but the President is not able to do B? Being not able to do B does not mean A is wrong.

See the logical disconnect?
I'm not claiming that 1 download = 1 lost sale.

But it's well-documented that piracy negatively affects music, film, and game studio income. See, e.g., https://www.ipi.org/ipi_issues/detail/the-true-cost-of-sound...

Piracy may the opposite effect for software but it definitely has a negative effect on entertainment related IP.

This is utter bullshit.
Nokia f*cked up because they over-engineered their FPGA solution for 5G. They took largest FPGA in the market and couldn't squeeze their design in it.

It was not Nokia SoC just plain Stratix10. They moved to own SoC after that glorious project.
I would rather see Processing in Memory (PIM) become mainstream than FPGAs. FPGAs are basically an assembly line that you can change overnight. Excellent at one task and they minimize end to end latency but if it's actually about performance you are entirely dependent on the DSP slices.

With PIM your CPU resources grow with the size of your memory. All you have to do is partition your data and then just write regular C code with the only difference being that it is executed by a processor inside your RAM.

Having more cores is basically the same thing as having more DSP slices. Since those cores are directly embedded inside memory they have high data locality which is basically the only other benefit FPGAs have over CPUs (assuming same number of DSP and cores). Obviously it's easier to program than either GPUs or FPGAs.
Github files this notice under their dmca notices[0]. Maybe it's not a legal dmca notice, but I would assume if github files it as such, then the internal rules of github would apply. This includes a counter-notice.

If it's not a dmca takedown and those rules don't apply then I would assume github would need to explain why they filed it as such. (It's probably the RIAAs "fault", but "we" have only direct contact with github so we need to go through them)

Your argument that "You will not be able to use it for anything" because "youtube HTML will have changed a million times" is most definitely based upon that erroneous premise.

Ever seen Smartsheets? I know someone I'd have described as "nontechnical" several years ago who is practically building business-specific applications complete with frontend interfaces and backed by spreadsheets and almost all of this person's code is formulas, which are very "functional programming." This person has asked to be coached in writing a "real" programming language and it's a challenge to think of how to approach the problem based upon the person's existing skillset and understanding, which is entirely backwards (FP instead of imperative) from the usual student's!

As someone who was taught to drive stick shift, I am well aware that there are things a person can do which may actually improve their quality of life for having done them. Within that group of things is a large subset which we shouldn't force people to have to think about. Particularly if those people are tasked with also keeping track of other important things.

Yes, there are plenty of people who can't be bothered to learn something because they are lazy, intimidated, or stupid. But it's not even most, and that presumption, of all of the egotistical self-centered bullshit we pull, ticks me off most of all.

We only have time in our lives to become experts in a handful of things (some people think that number is one, or two, which is a shame), and lots of people have other shit they'd rather be doing, possibly (hopefully!) including things that you can't be bothered to learn about. If we all worry about the same things then we don't get where we're going.

Love when "No code" solutions come up every so many years just to simply die off.. I remember teaching myself VB6 in sixth grade and after realizing the reason "No Code" solutions are misleading are 1. There isn't really such a thing and 2. The power of computers comes precisely from the ability to.. code them at a meaningful level of abstraction. Don't get me wrong, "No code" may have a purpose, but I see that purpose being more in line with mock-ups and concept tests; not eliminating code.
Isn't it ironic, Facebook has no trouble explaining mass surveillance of its user base but gets lawyered up when somebody tries to surveil them.

If you do not trust your friend, then unfriend them on facebook. Or sue them.

If said friend takes a pic of you and records everything you say in real life and gives that to researchers (or "pro Trump" people), you wouldn't go after your or their landlord claiming they "allowed this to happen", nor would you go after the city where it happened, would you? (your friend is voluntarily participating, knowing what they are doing)

Now if the researchers tricked your friend into giving them information about you somehow, then you'd go after your researchers. But do not expect your landlord to go after those researchers for you. (NYU researchers misinforming participants about the scope of their data collection)

Now if your friend abused a camera that was sneakily installed by your landlord to obtain that information, then you might go after that landlord (Cambridge Analytica on Facebook)
