But the talk was not about that, it was about the fact that we want to get "finished software", but as soon as we ourselves deliver software, we vice-versa want to do it step by step, over long period of time. One day, we should get some reflection and self-awareness and understand that other programmers are exactly like ourselves - can't deliver everything at once.
Maybe. I'm not involved in a lot of hiring but my general experience is that the interview panel usually ends up at one of two positions. Everyone is sort of meh (and maybe one or two people are actively negative). Or everyone is hire this person now--maybe with some minor caveats here and there. I'm not sure I can remember a situation where there was a strong split in opinion.
That's a very interesting resolution to the tragedy of the commons issue that heterogeneous state actors face. As long as you have a bloc sufficiently large enough that's willing to impose import duties on non-complying countries, then you've effectively brought everyone along for the ride.

> Signal still haven't updated their privacy policy to reflect it either (it still states "Signal is designed to never collect or store any sensitive information.")

They don't need to update their privacy policy because they never have access to the profil information.

Technically, the encrypted profile information and your messages (when they are in transit to your contacts) are being stored on their servers in the exact same way. The only difference is that messages are deleted afterwards whereas your profile is stored permanently until you decide to change it. That doesn't make the profile information any less secure, though. Yes, maybe in 20 years someone will be able to break AES-256 (or whatever symmetric encryption algorithm they use) and then the stored cyphertext version of your profile information might be valuable. Personally, I doubt it. But even if I turn out to be wrong: The possible attack vector against your profile information is the same as for messages: After all, tomorrow Signal could get convinced by an intelligence agency to permanently store all your encrypted messages from now on and then the exact same risks of AES-256 getting broken would apply.

Conclusion: When Signal says they're not collecting any sensitive information, they mean that they themselves don't have access to any such information because it gets encrypted. This is the promise of end-to-end encryption. They're not promising anything beyond that.

In particular, they can't promise that the encryption will never get broken. No one knows. And no one in their right mind would promise anything like that. But at least they do everything to mitigate that risk by openly publishing all their cryptography algorithms for peer review and actively participating in scientific research surrounding that topic.

> I still run into people who have no idea that Signal is storing their profile information and their contacts on signal's servers

The precise meaning of the phrase "Signal is storing their profile information on [their] servers" vs. what the average person will actually understand here, are two entirely different things here: Most people will think that Signal stores that profile information in cleartext on their servers – because that is the current status quo with almost all popular online platforms – when in reality this is not the case.

Normally, I would be saying at this point: Please stop spreading FUD. But I do agree with your statement that

> If you're promoting your service to people who risk their lives and freedom by using it you need to make it 100% clear to them what their risks are.

Signal could indeed do a better job here. In view of the above, however, I'm having the feeling the risks weren't really clear to you, either? (No offense)
If you think about it a bit, it should be obvious that nothing is being trained on your results. You're not being exploited for training data, because computers are already better at identifying traffic lights from street view images than you are.

The image recognition task has not changed for a very long time. How many captchas do you think have been solved by users in the last 5 years, all the same kind of recognition problems on the same kind of data? Trillions? It would be way past any kind of diminishing returns for this task to get more labels. If there was value there, they would have at least switched to a different kind of task.

In addition to that they're trying to get sites to move to Recaptcha v3, which does not have the user solve any kind of. Why would that be if the answers had any kind of value?

The fundamental problem with using captchas for training is that it devalues their value as a tool for security, since it sets up conflicting incentives. And the latter is what Google is selling. (Yes, selling. Recaptcha Enterprise costs money to use at scale, and the list price seems to be $1 / 1000 calls). The people paying for that service are using it to block attackers and let good users through, not to challenge the good users just to get some more labeling data from them.
The world produces four billion tons of cement per year, about half of which is produced in China. For comparison, polyethylene, used for these bricks, is produced at about 100 million tons per year.

In other words, even if all of the waste polyethylene in the world could be recycled like this, it would make, at best, a roughly 2.5% dent in the demand for concrete. (There are aggregates in both cases, so you can't just lean on that.)

It's useful if it offers functionality cement doesn't have, which in this case it seems to. But the idea that plastic waste, in any form, or for that matter any other wastes (aside from asphalt, which was once a waste product), can substantially replace building materials, is mostly a popular misconception rooted in humans' difficulty with large numbers. Comparing the bricks to concrete just isn't really apples-to-apples.
Shhh - I'm working on a blog post about this very idea after finishing Jest a couple months ago. :)
Happy to see I'm not the only one who made the connection!
The thing that really ticks me off about those captchas -- besides that it seems I'm more likely to have them forced on me when I'm on a VPN, so presenting an AWS IP to their server -- is that sometimes they think I'm wrong about, e.g., which square has an image with a bicycle. No! It's YOU, captcha algo, that are incorrect! Your images are wrongly labeled! Grrr, so annoying :-(
I like being face to face for small conversations with coworkers, but the bigger the group the less likely I am to use camera, also if someone is sharing or presenting there's no reason to use camera.

I had to solve nearly the exact same problem for the same reasons. I too ended up with Selenium.

My favorite part was having a nice working system, then throwing it in the cloud and finding out a socking number of sites tell you to go away if you come at them from a cloud-based IP.

Shouldn't be surprising, but it was still annoying.
That's also why I don't recommend Rust for game dev beginners, I think the most important thing for beginner is to experience the fun of game dev, which is making game logic and making the actual game, even if you go Rust with ECS, you'll still spend most of the time learning ECS, solving compile errors and waiting compilation, stuff that does not have any game dev fun.

Borrows are scope based, so if you limit arena usage to a scope (e.g. inside your frame loop), then it should be fairly trivial to reset it.

Reclaiming should theoretically be possible too via a method that takes ownership of the arena (the borrow checker prevents moves while an object is borrowed).

Air is something that is utterly "valuable" (using your definition).

Yet it is free. How's that for value?

Again: you need to get back to the one thing that models all of these things properly: supply (currently akin to infinite for air) and demand (huge, for air, but finite, hence air is free).

This whole notion that "I can eat it therefore it has value" is simply a corollary of the law of supply and demand.

If you use the more general, more powerful paradigm, you reasoning will become crisper.
Microsoft's branding was called "Signature Edition" and seems to have been quietly killed with the shutdown of retail Microsoft Stores.
The company might not have considered their request a burden (though it was -- company's mistake and author is right to be upset). Here's an example where that could be true:

My gf has a PhD in $FIELD. She always has to give a 'job talk' for every job (since I've known her that's been all of FAANG plus some non-early-stage startups -- so most of the gamut). The talk isn't that different from the post doc job talk or faculty job talk, except the content is a bit more industry focused. Of course this is a function of the kinds of jobs she looks for. Every time she's decided to change jobs she worked on her job talk first (as Jessime had done for her talks as well). And to have the audience be more than just the engineering side is consistent with that. So the hiring team may have just assumed this was a "job talk" position, and assumed that the candidate would already have it ready to go.

Clearly the company was quite wrong, and that lead to an unreasonable burden on the candidate. It's a good reason to avoid the company: if they can't get the first impression right, well, perhaps the first impression is actually accurate as to how everything else in the company is run.

Again, I'm not trying to defend this unknown company in the slightest, just trying to imagine how this kind of thing could happen. Sounds like Jessime dodged a bullet, job-wise.
Oh please. It's a generic drug on the list of WHO's most essential medicines manufacturable by hundreds of labs worldwide for pennies a dose. Meanwhile it's a step change in both efficacy and speed of antidepressant effect relative to everything else on the market, opening up the possibility to treat people in emergency situations as well as lowering the cost of antidepressant treatment for millions that are taking on-patent drugs.

Yeah the confusion comes because entities are no longer a concrete element of the program but a concept tying components together. It’s just as valid to look at a subset of the components that are referenced by an entity id as a view as it is to look at them all. Like a relational database.

And by breaking things into components the granularity of ownership is increased compared with the equivalent concrete representation of the same data. So whilst you can’t reason about ownership of an entity as it primarily exists conceptually the ownership of its constituent parts is well defined.

Not a government worker, but I work in non-profit areas.

I do make a lot less money in this role than I would in a startup environment or SV. But, work life balance is significantly better. Benefits are actually the best I've ever seen (no cost health plan and they put the full amount of the deductible in an HSA for me each year, generous 401k match with only a 1 year vesting schedule, summer hours so I can spend more time in daylight, a pension with a very easy vesting schedule, plenty of time off, etc).

I'd work a government job for similar reasons. It's not about pay for me. I need enough to live, enough to plan for retirement, and a little extra to enjoy my life.

I work to enjoy my life, I don't work to die early or just to work. My life comes first, work comes second and finding a company that respects that and encourages it to some extent, is worth more to me than high pay and a worse environment to work in.
If the manipulation of the history is not big, the indoctrination will be almost non existent.

And let me tell you that I've been kind of indoctrinated by hardcore left wing history teachers. They wouldn't stop at teaching, they actively tried to make us think that the left was inherently good and the right bad. Sometimes it even backfired when they were exposed by someone who knew about the topic.

Hell, one of my teachers even whitewashed a terrorist group that was still active killing people back then.

This may be an extreme example but that doesn't change anything. Bad history teaching is not an excuse to bring more ideologies into school.
In Rust you can solve this via derive or a macro. Typescript's conditional types and the associated utility types are a nice solution to this problem as well. You can do a ton with Partial, Required, Pick, Omit, Exclude etc.

> The legality of this shouldn’t even be a question. No one is forcing you to use these sites.

That argument would work if government sites didn't use reCAPTCHA in their online services.

Yes, you could probably complete the process by phone but thats akin to telling people to boycott Facebook when its the place to find out about events and participate in community discussions.

reCAPTCHA is EVERYWHERE. There are no viable alternatives. Asking people to boycott reCAPTCHA is asking them to boycott a huge chunk of the net.

Besides, this 'think of all the poor website operators' argument is bunk. Bots are going to happen whether the operator likes it or not. Better to lean in than out.

The US Embargo on Japan had the explicit intent on weakening the Japanese economy in order to facilitate future military action. Japan attacked in no small part because they thought that if military confrontation would be inevitable, then would be the only chance where victory was possible.

That's always felt rather monopolistic to me.

It always felt like a smaller company that didn't want to support multiple operating systems. But Apple's not all that small anymore, right? Well, the fallback to that argument is the long-standing habit of pretending other systems don't exist (Mac vs. PC commmercials notwithstanding). Best I recall, one will rarely (if ever) hear Apple comparing, say, iOS to Android. Nope, it's just "iOS is awesome, and here's why". Given that, why port your dev tools to a system that you'd rather pretend didn't exist in the first place?

> Another reason why the macOS model is better for users.

This makes it possible for the OS companies to bilk the entire industry while they protect their ecosystem with an infinitely deep moat.

There's a spectrum here. On one end, we have completely a completely open OS. Less knowledgable people can certainly be harmed. On the other, the OS is a protected fiefdom. An entire industry is protected and taxed, and the execution model held hostage. You can't run or distribute software freely.

There's good reason Microsoft lost their case. The requirements for openness are better for competition and innovation, even if it sometimes hurts the little guy.

A better, targeted solution for this exact case might be regulation requiring that OEMs offer a zero-bloat option to consumers. They could add a price markup to make back their margin. (Hardware, other than luxury hardware, can have razor thin margins.) Zero regulation (maintaining the status quo) isn't really the end of the world, either.

All giants should have weak points. Microsoft, Google, Apple, etc. If they don't, we get trampled.
Not necessarily true, since regulations are EU law that is immediately enforceable in member states, and are not generally transposed into state law.

Verizon had no interest in negotiating with me. They offered a small discount on a two-year lock in, and that was all.

The difference may be in place. I have only Verizon and Comcast on offer, and I'd switched to Verizon because Comcast was literally unusable. (Their ancient coax network was failing hard.)
It's also worth noting that depending on their security clearance they can't go out and network or have public-facing profiles.

This demo app isn't bad. The biggest problem I've found so far is that a screen reader user doesn't hear anything when a client-side page load happens. This is a common problem with SPAs, and there isn't a great solution for it. The best you can do right now is use an off-screen ARIA live region to announce something like "navigated to [page name]". Sometime though I'd like to work with the web standards community to standardize a better solution.
