I hope this isn't the beginnings of a "true communism" type of argument. If it is, let's save some time and acknowledge the same can be said for "true capitalism" where the latter lacks the body count of the former.

And whether or not you think China is not an implementation of communism, both their government and its subjects would largely disagree.

>I cannot be accused of killing THAT SPECIFIC MAN again

Nitpick: It's actually that you can't be accused of the SPECIFIC INSTANCE of killing that man.

I only say this because there was a movie with a plot of a husband faking his death and the wife being convicted for it. The movie implies that the wife could find and kill the guy and not be tried because she'd already been convicted of killing him. While only one person was murdered, it was the two separate acts of killing the person that are the offenses, so double jeopardy would not apply.

You can do wonders with a modern sub-$400 camcorder that can do manual white balance, aperture priority, and provide clean hdmi output. Add a $20 tripod, a capture device, and you’ve got a webcam better than anything sold as such. Camcorders can have some inherent latency in their feeds and that’s an under-examined differentiator in camcorder reviews these days.

As to accessory webcams - there is definitely a market for high end webcams. The Logitech 920s or c or whatever was very highly rated and one of the first to disappear from shelves last spring along with their 4K model. I’m not saying it was objectively great equipment, just using it to illustrate that a webcam with high ratings will sell for a premium no problem. I don’t know about the margins for OEMs but I suspect there’s some room there when a $250 webcam is only marginally better than a $90 version.

I would easily pay $400-$700 for a “usb webcam” if it approached my iPhone camera’s quality and allowed me the control and capability of a cheap camcorder (think what a $250 Vixia comes with - manual white balance, optical zoom, adjustable frame rate, physical powered lens cover, IR remote control, tripod mountable, integrated confidence display - especially if you could leverage the USB connection to make the confidence display function as a teleprompter too). No question there’s a market for such a product. It would sell wildly in today’s market.
Absolutely! This is just the beginning. Just figuring out the right way to capture feedback, and we'll get started, iterating based on what people request.

Larry Page was the CEO of Alphabet until the end of 2019. He owns over 40 million shares.

Sergey Brin was the President of Alphabet until the end of 2019. He owns ~39 million shares.

The actions of Google from inception until 2019 are the personal responsibility of these two men. They are both "retired" as of today but still have an extreme amount of influence on the company.

This type of monopolistic behavior will not stop until the people who are personally responsible for corporate behavior are held personally liable.

I once thought community-based mesh networking could disrupt last-mile internet providers, beyond its obvious value in remote areas and disaster zones. If we could get decent bandwidth with a freemium/pay-as-you-go model, it would be way more consumer friendly and affordable than paying a big telco to string a wire into your house.

However with the advent of 5G and now satellite internet, it seems like high-speed wireless internet will be ubiquitous in relatively short order without the need for mesh networks. So that dream is probably dead.
The problem is, there is always someone willing to make extreme arguments to convince people that this is the exceptional circumstance where evidence doesn't matter, and that we all need to do something urgent and panicky, now.

Usually, those people are wrong.
> You fix things as they are discovered

This will keep companies like NSO in business for decades to come.

That's no excuse for the security hacks this codebase is enabling. They need to stop adding new features for a decade, if that's what it takes, in order to fix the security issues. Think of all the ransomware attacks, identity theft, attacks on journalists, and democracy even, that the security issues in this codebase is enabling, and will continue to enable if business-as-usual is the way forward. The stakes are high, and these tech companies must be made to pay a heavy price for each security breach enabled by their negligence, and then the economics will be in favor of prioritizing security over features.
> No one has yet used that as a justification for taking our product off the shelves and sticking it into their backpack.

Yes people have and do. Many people think it's morally fine to shoplift from large corporations in part because they exploit their workers.

There isn’t too much preventing a data warehouse provider from providing storage access, as long as they are willing to maintain some semblance of backward compatibility in the format.
This too is a unicorn fantasy.

You claim the reason people are not selling their data is because they are too obsessed with culture or something. In reality there is an imbalance of negotiation power. A company can sell their data because they understand the game and have leverage over other companies. They can say "buy our data, it's valuable and there's only one of us". A citizen cannot do that.

Besides your data is already in circulation and they don't necessarily need it to be tied to you in order for it to be a generally useful human data point. How do you 'tax' that which has been stripped of your ownership and distributed far and wide?

Nevertheless I don't think you're going to get this put into law. Legislation is an unstable and unfair method of change that is biased towards people who can afford to partake in it.
Ah yeah, it's just in this context. While I'd never introduce myself by saying "hi, I'm from Europe", I feel that there are more similarities than differences between EU countries in terms of public transport, healthcare, mass shootings, education, etc. compared to the US, and I feel very privileged to be born on the right side of the Atlantic. :)

What scientific knowledge exactly goes into writing a list like this? Or for determining our "best" practices? Last I check, none. So no, "software engineering" is not engineering.

EDIT: I think this is ok in such a young field, but we should not deceive ourselves into believing that what we have today is anything like more mature engineering fields. We should also strive to attain their levels by investing more into high quality studies and less "axioms".
5,500 pages of bridging votes? A bill that's so large that people literally don't have the ability to read it before they vote on it? Policy negotiations are normal. This is not normal.

I mean, heck, why bring up separate bills in Congress at all? Let's put off all legislation for the entire year and then we'll pass everything as one bill when it comes time for the spending bill. We don't even need to meet during the year, we'll just do the entire process via backroom deals and give people a few hours to sign on before they vote yes or no on everything for the entire year. It's not a broken legislative system, it's just compromise! /s

Yes bills are complicated, yes, compromise is necessary, but also there are obvious lines we can cross where there's no reason for a bill to be so bloated and discordant, and this bill crosses those lines.

My simple tip is to buy a $15-20 wired lapel/lavalier mic from Amazon and use it instead of whatever crappy audio your laptop or monitor or webcam offers. It pics up your voice so much clearer and makes a world of difference. You can still use the speaker outputs or whatever you prefer, but the mic takes it to a better level of quality for people listening to you speak.
It's also so vague, it's useless. There's "tonnes of <literally any type of person>" on Twitter.

That's not how copyright works. It's how trademarks work, but you don't lose copyright if you don't actively enforce it.

Remember, Jack Valenti went to his grave still believing that the VCR was to Hollywood what the Boston Strangler was to the woman home alone.

To Nintendo, emulation is a crime. (Except when they do it, because they own or license the rights to the platforms in question.) As soon as their legal team thinks they can get a ruling that will overturn Sony v. Connectix, they will be on that like white on rice. Failing that, harassment, intimidation, and threats will do.

Delete Twitter, stop reading opinion pieces, and go actually talk to some Republicans. You'll find that they're, by and large, decent people with the same basic motivations as you. They resent being told what to do by what they perceive as elitist, out-of-touch folks in major coastal cities, and your article is a conspiracy theorist's wet dream. It's hysterical to the point of caricature.

As for the "anti-democratic" American system of government, a cursory reading of the Federalist Papers would demonstrate that the Framers believed that majoritarian democracy was, in fact, tyranny of the majority. They were fundamentally correct - progressives love to praise Canada, but the office of the Prime Minister is, in only a slightly a hyperbolic sense, a 4-year elected autocracy with minimal checks and balances. Majoritarian rule stinks if you happen to fall into a minority, and that's the entire point of having a constitutional republic.

The beauty of America is that if you don't like your system of government, you can always move to another state. Trying to force your progressive values onto everyone via some sort of bizarre doctrine of cultural dilution is unbelievably wrong-headed.
I took a cheap shoot at a hyperbolic statement. Sorry.
It says a lot about a society that people even think along those lines. I often take a walk in the night, it feels nice, surrounded by darkness in the cool night, looking at the stars, listening to the animals scrambling around in the fields and ditches.

As a new startup, I'd assume that the technical co-founder is doing a lot of maintenance and automation to keep everything running smoothly. Why not let something break, and then they'd have a stronger negotiation position?

I can't imagine (but would be very impressed with tech co-founder) if a year old system could run without any maintenance for a month. Seems also unlikely that tech co-founder could be replaced fast enough to continue reliable service seamlessly. I don't think non-tech co-founder realizes that if tech disappears, it will kill the baby.
Python Project: Guessing Game
> What is current top competition sport is not natural anymore so I do not really care about whether they take drugs (illegal today, maybe legal tomorrow) or not. Or modify they genome.

Two things:

This is a minority viewpoint. I believe most sports fans and participants want sports to remain free of exogenous performance enhancing drugs.

The second: the situation you describe would disadvantage everyone who does not engage in maximizing their use of such PEDs, and the sport in question would rapidly be transformed from what it is now into something vastly different, as the people willing to ingest these modifications would quickly displace the ones that aren't, or don't embrace the practice as fully.

That may be fine for you, but it is a big change, and many people like it the way it is now.

Personally, I agree with you. There should probably be a drugs league in various sports where people get as insanely artificially enhanced as human bodies can support, I might even watch that despite my general aversion to sports just to see the extreme tech involved. But it's absolutely silly to equate that to what is happening today because "today's athletes are not natural". It's not the same thing at all.
that's the point lol

I think we agree, or at least I agree with most of what's in your bullet points. "Working hard" is pointless; working hard for your goals is the target. I used to spend my time being frustrated I didn't have what I wanted when it seemed many of my friends and peers were given things I had zero chance of getting. Now? I don't exactly work hard for the sake of working hard, but the work I do for my goals (family, retirement, home, stress, health) has paid off in spades.
I'm finna tell yall why Google fired me- the best diversity recruiter
This has nothing to do with users, so I'm not sure what your point is. A different example might help us communicate:

> "Hey guys, that relatively new way of dealing drugs is no longer a misdemeanor, now it's a felony."

> "But isn't using drugs already a felony?"

> "... yes, they already have a law to go after users; this new law just reclassifies the type of crime it is for cartels offering drugs."

> "Yeah, I'm not talking about the new bill. If it's already illegal they don't need another law to go after the users."

No laws have changed for consumers. I'm not sure what you're trying to say, please clarify.
Shameless plug: I've been working on this utility to facilitate sharding keys/passwords so you can set up your own password recovery schemes:

It's more horcrux-y than TFA in that you need N of M shards to reconstruct. TFA isn't really a horcrux, since there's a 100% dependency on each part of the full password.

Canon doesn't specify how many horcruxes he needs to be reanimated, but we know there is some redundancy due to the loss of the diary.

Even if you don't experience performance problems, the game is buggy as all hell, and some of those bugs are game breaking.

Besides, the issue at hand here is company reputation. CDPR knowingly released a game to consoles that is damn near unplayable. It was a blatant cash grab at the expense of their customers, and if you honestly believe they didn't know what the state of the game was prior to release then I have a bridge to sell you.

Sony actually has pretty strict certification criteria from what Ive read, so the assumption is that CDPR promised a day 1 fix for all of this stuff and they failed. Miserably.

True but all of the methods you mention to determine the horcrux are also ways to get someone's typical password, so password manager + horcrux is still much stronger as you need both (besides obviously the keylogger/malware).

You could also just have a horcrux for a couple sites and make them all distinct obviously.
