It's interesting that he calls out Fuji explicitly not allowing webcams, as Fuji did add webcam features for both their X-T3 and X-T4 models for both windows and mac back in September of 2020: https://fujifilm-x.com/en-us/support/download/software/x-web...

The reason they did not back port it to the X-T1 and X-T2, my guess, is that the T1 and T2 use much older (circa 2014) cpu/software, whereas the T3/T4 use the same family of ~2018-2020 CPU/software/sensor and were already rolling out a new major firmware update for the X-T3.
This is a strange perspective to me because then that would mean that ads are only about awareness of a product. But you have to convince someone to buy your product.

Not only that, but there's much more to advertising than goods. We have advertisements for political campaigns that try to persuade voters, pubic service announcements that try to persuade people to take certain actions, religious marketing, prescription ads that tell you to ask your doctor, etc. Ads have never been about awareness but persuasion. This is even more clear when you investigate why Coke has ads or car commercials. Coke already has the market. They advertise to make you feel like you're choice was good, and you to feel good. Car companies advertise to build prestige and years later when you buy a car you have brand prestige.

It's never been about awareness, it's about selling you an idea as much as it is selling you a product.
I suspect the parent post is making facetious commentary on the phrase, "surveillance capitalism".
>and you usually need a capture card/camlink to convert the output from the camera

Early on in the pandemic the major mirrorless camera providers (I believe at least Sony[1], Fujifilm[2], Canon[3], and Nikon[4]) all released software that lets you use any of their relatively recent cameras as webcams with the regular USB transfer/charging cable. A separate capture card is no longer a necessity.

> But... that's one of the pro's of not having to do the rending cycle on the server. Also caching of framework libraries off CDN's and such.

This doesn't save battery life on a device. If someone downloads a few meg of JS their browser has to parse and execute that JS locally. This use of processing uses power. If that same person had half as much JS to parse and execute it would use less power.

A CDN does not save from this happening.

When power use happens on a server it's more on the server but less on devices with batteries. Batteries aren't used up as quickly (both between recharges and in their overall life).

A server side setup can cache and even use a CDN to only need to render parts that change.

My points are that it's not all cut and dry along with considering batteries.

Oh, and older systems (like 5 year old ones)... surfing the web on an older system can be a pain now because of JS proliferation.
Certainly true. My main point is I have friends like your latter example, and the time I spent frustrated they had what I didn't left me further behind financially and emotionally. Changing my attitude to "what do I need to do to get what I want" and working towards my goals has left me happier and better off.
If what you’re saying so strictly true, yearly movie budgets would have been dropping year over year. With the obvious exception on the pandemic, is this what is happening?

Pay of individuals working on set, which the exception of huge name actors, is not really impacted by total movie revenue and they don’t often get dividends. Once the fixed cost is covered, which for most big movies it easily is, the rest is the gravy train for the investors.
Why ReactJS
It's this.

The developer mindset almost enjoys documentation because you can absorb it fast, in detail, and get on with the problem in the window next to it.

In the real world (TM), problem solving is often a matter of responsibility and a delegation issue and resolved socially. And often for non-developers, the software they are given is suppose to be the solution to all their other problems. So when there's a problem with the software or they can't understand it, a standard reaction is "which number do I call", "train me", or "can you fix this".

For client facing shops, the developer needs to document for customer service. Customer service needs to handle client/user communication. And customer service benefits most from detailed documentation, to allow them to answer user questions without asking the developer.

If this is a mixed collaboration environment, then communication needs management. There are people that want open channels. There are people that don't. And there are people that are offended when their preferences are not met or violated. Management is a requirement.
All of those things may be true, but when I zoom using my webcam the picture is far worse than when I zoom using my pixel4. Same goes for audio.

I really, really wish I could get the calibre of A/V hardware in my high end phone as a separate device to plug into my computer. I did buy a nice microphone so I'm halfway there, but the webcam problem remains.
That is so bizarre and seems unbelievable. Feels like there is another reason they arent telling you. If you didnt want the stress, why boot the cofounder? If I didnt want the stress I'd try to maintain some ownership and have you step up more.
When I read "Friendly Federated Learning Framework", my immediate thought was something where people could gather and organize their personal knowledge, and have the ability to simply reference work that others have already done.

I thought this was a good article on building a Lakehouse on AWS: https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/big-data/harness-the-power-of-y...

It's high level and focuses on some of the business needs for requiring this sort of architecture.
Sadly, this isn't totally true -- Sony only does cloud backups via PS+, a paid subscription. Microsoft, on the other hand, doesn't require their paid service to use cloud saves, but they're more tightly integrated into the system (likely because they're available to all users).

It sucks because the X360/PS3/Wii generation of consoles supported saving & loading games off of external commodity storage (the X360 supported any USB drive, the Wii SD cards, and the PS3 both, if you had one of the earlier units with a SD card slot), but that was disabled as it became clear that save games could be used to jailbreak the systems and install bootloaders/firmware that disabled DRM.
You don't necessarily need a cult following though. I despise Nintendo's approach to the mod community, and their pitiful online implementations, but I still think they make great games. I'm not really a fanboy either, I just enjoy some of their games. I could take a stronger moral stand and and boycott them, but let's be realistic it'll be just a drop in the bucket, just like boycotting Disney.
There's an important difference between having all sides at the table and having two sides at the table. Most issues are not simple binary decisions and there are many more sides than just two. Even if a binary decision is forced (e.g. yes-or-no vote on legislation), both supporters and detractors will be heterogeneous groups, with everyone having their own reasons for their stance. So if you get representatives from "both sides" to debate, they might both share the same incorrect view, just disagreeing on whether that's a good thing or a bad one.

I don't think that's a problem journalism can easily solve.
I like your demo page. Looks good! I dont see anything about shipping. How do you imagine this works?
Haven't read the article, but I recently read Kim MacQuarrie's The Last Days of the Incas (on the advice of someone on here). I got the impression from there that the conquistadors, or at least Pizarro, were pretty bad. Not for wanting to conquer and dispossess another empire - that was after all what the Incas had done to their predecessors. But they were worse in a number of ways: a) they were highly deceitful, surprise-attacking a friendly people, and constantly making and breaking promises; b) they were unusually cruel towards the Incas and went out of their way to humiliate them c) rather than ruling the people they conquered, they just tried to extract insane amounts of gold for personal enrichment, not stopping even when they had received far more than they could ever need. A classic example of this is their kidnapping the emperor Atahualpa under false pretenses and claiming they would release him if he filled up a room with gold up to a line drawn on the wall. After an empire-wide effort to raise the sum, with his subjects melting down enormous amounts of artwork and religious objects, they got the ransom and reneged on their word. What a tragic loss to history, for such shabby reasons.
>it's about domain boundaries, application architecture, coupling.

Thank you! As a service consumer, if I need to call the same 3 other services for EVERY OPERATION, then we've achieved microservice hell.

>monolith with 500.0000 lines of code could be very well designed...
As someone who was part of a "de-monolith" effort, the first step of our process was to create internal service facades that grouped things according to the logical domains that aligned well with our required functionality, data storage, and availability requirements.

Once those were functional, decoupled, and comprehensible, we actually had an easy to maintain, clean monolithic code base that exposed a small handful of services that were de/loosely coupled and conformed to workflows we need to support via web services.
I have a Logitech C310 from 2012 ($32 back then) and its horrendously terrible. The white balance is almost always way off, people have asked me how I got the sepia tone filter! I've also had issues with the microphone drivers distorting the sound (windows and linux). Maybe they've improved the hardware. I really like the narrow 60deg FOV of the unit compared to my higher end C615 (which has much better video quality).
I like how so nonchalantly you turn this into a racist comment and yet no one is calling you out on it.

Imagine a restaurant whose menu and prices were voted on by the people at large. What would happen? The menu would look deranged and prices would be too darn low for the restaurant to function in an economically viable manner. The whole restaurant operation would collapse! Who said democracy is a good way to bring about stability and prosperity to an organization/operation in the long run?
Good analysis. It sounds in principle that for OP there isn't really much options to win big, sometimes that happens in startup land - mentally it is good idea to admit that this project wasn't personally very successful and start thinking about next moves.

Most important here, I think, is to act in polite and professional manner. It is not uncommon in these situations for everyone to lose because things get personal. Just try to find some kind of deal where you are likely to get some value.
> This leak also has current console info, like the switch development kit. Also such info might be valuable in creating more accurate emulators and such.

There are so many small and indie studios putting stuff in the Switch Store. I seriously wonder why there hasn't been an avalanche of leaks, hacks or someone of the emulator dev teams getting access...
IMHO (this is for web / mobile apps) -

As computers become more powerful, a lot of the functionality which is reserved for the server side gets pushed to the client. The client ends up with more business functionality which helps in faster rendering, faster response. The application server's primary responsibility gets relegated to access control.

The other aspect of technology that's gradually coming to the fore is real-time communication. This enables even more business logic (in terms of access control) to be pushed to the client. Essentially, as game_the0ry mentioned, the server application gets relegated to a thin CRUD layer. And soon, maybe that CRUD layer will also go away, because the client knows excactly what is allowed and what isnt't.

As the world gets more bandwidth, more connectivity, clients become more stateful.

Conversly, this also proves that business rules are really are not that critical for businesses to function, rather it's the data behind them.

> it’s worth throwing in there that the democratically elected leader Donald Trumps pledge to “clean the swamp” has left the government controlled by family and loyalists

He's certainly put on display just how horribly the system functions and it's clear he's more of a symptom than a cause of the dysfunction. There wasn't even a pretense of a good faith effort to try to cooperate and start cleaning house.

By virtue of beating Clinton and easily taking the nomination as the Republican candidate goes to show how hollow both parties were already. The void of competent and appealing politicians - that represent anyone - was begging for someone like him to enter the scene.

And that's why it's funny to watch all the horrified "decent" politics nerds of the establishment try to find the perfect insult or scandal that would destroy him - they don't get why he was elected. He was elected as an insult to Washington. Trying to insult or pick apart the insult is useless.
I'd love to see legislature go through a process like public GitHub pull requests. If we could create a culture similar to the best practices of code reviews, that'd be great.

- Keep changes limited in scope for easier review.

- Open the process to the wider public for inspection.

- Transparent revision history.
That's not weird. The bill says "a transmission service that (1); (2); or (3)". That's just how English conjunctions work when you're joining more than two things.
from a security engineer's perspective, these things seem great, but ultimately become really tricky where DOM nodes need to be produced safely. string concatenation doesn't cut it for obvious reasons, then you have mXSS from mismatches between the backend server and the browser's interpretation of the HTML
> They resent being told what to do by what they perceive as elitist, out-of-touch folks in major coastal cities

They resent be told what to do by anyone. They were asked to wear masks by Dr Fauci, who is hardly a coastal elite, and many of them couldn't even do that.

I don't think republicans are necessarily bad people but their views are pretty bad and sure you can move to a red state for financial reasons or whatever but some people, especially minorities, can't just go and live with people who spread around covid or think cops are oppressed.

The truth is, a lot of industries are abusive like this, unless you make it into a top echelon (size varies by industry).

Look at the hours for drawing or animation. Or in the film industry, there are unions, but work conditions are similar in non union productions, and unions are often abusive to younger and newer members.

Giving students more work than they can reasonably accomplish is a good object lesson in ruthless prioritization and time management. In the real world you have to decide which tasks to do well and which to half-ass or just drop entirely.

I didn't attend a military academy, but did go to an academically demanding college (with an honor code). Some of my fellow students were ridiculous in that they didn't know when to quit and tried to do all assignments perfectly even at the expense of having a social life or getting some exercise.
I for one prefer surveillance capitalism to surveillance socialism. At least in one system you can opt out.

Why are you suggesting that one can't change the firmware? In your link, Purism CSO explicitly said you would be able to do it:

> They’re also throwing in the “us vs them” trash by mentioning that Ajit Pai is a Republican.

That's just how American journalism works. You can always tell the party of a corrupt politician by how prominently and frequently the press mentions their party. Since Republicans are assumed by journalists to be in league with the actual Devil, their party affiliation will be front and center; Democrats, not so much.

A Republican is caught accepting bribes. Headline: "GOP Lawmaker Implicated in Bribe Scandal". Front page.

A Democrat is caught accepting bribes. Headline: "Lawmaker Implicated in Bribe Scandal". The story begins on page three, but the actual party affiliation of the corrupt official isn't mentioned until the story continuation on page six.

I noticed this with newspaper stories about Massachusetts state legislators about twelve years ago.

Can I give you some advice that really sucks?

Walk away. It's not fair, but starting a company isn't like getting a job. It's a relationship and a risk that doesn't always work out. Sometimes you find more money and success than you could ever dream of, and other times you waste 11 months.

Here's my thought process. You and your cofounder aren't going to be able to work together after this. The company has no money and no value, so you're trying to get your portion of something that doesn't exist. Them raising money to pay you just kills their chance at ever being successful... plus, who would give a company money just to pay someone out? Same goes for accelerating vesting on the 40%... there's no way they can build a company when someone not involved owns a huge stake.

You could spend time and money trying to right this injustice. And yeah, it is an injustice. But the worst thing you can do is tie your identity to this. There's not much upside to fighting it; all you'll do is spend more time, money and energy you could be using to start something new.

I've had this happen to me before, so I completely understand what it's like. You feel helpless and shitty and like you wasted a ton of time. Rather, do your best to put it behind you, and focus on what benefits you got out of it.

Did you learn about a new space that will make you extra valuable to another company? Even just having a founder mentality will raise your value to a startup. Did you learn things you would do differently? You can start another company, and do it better this time.

I know it sucks. But I'm 99% confident you won't get anything out of this, so it's best to just walk away. It's cheesy, but "success is the best revenge." Your relationship with this company failed, but you haven't. Don't tie your personal journey to this one company.

Good luck, and my emails in my profile if you want to talk!

> Quid-pro-quo isn't the problem, being able to trade-off across issues is a good thing.

It can be a good thing sometimes. But it can be also used for "do the thing you'd otherwise never agree to for your thing to pass" which is more of an ultimatum. Or even, "yeah, and add an aircraft carrier to that" to block some effort completely. (I think that was a recent relief bill, but can't find the link now)

> 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....Majoritarian rule stinks if you happen to fall into a minority, and that's the entire point of having a constitutional republic.

Well, it's also not the point to entrench minoritarian rule, either. With the structural advantages granted to less populous states in the Senate and presidential elections plus ruthless gerrymandering of House seats, that's entirely possible and arguably worse. Most actual tyrannies have been of minorities.

It's also not like the framers had everything figured out. Their electoral college system went haywire almost immediately, for instance. If their system becomes so dysfunctional and looses legitimacy in the eyes of the majority (which it may be on track to doing), it won't last, to the detriment of us all. IMHO, that will mean some way of eliminating partisan gerrymandering and and replacing the electoral college with a presidential popular vote (since nearly everyone views the former as a proxy for the latter, anyway).
