For this part I think the more important thing is that schools and doctors usually use very out-dated ways for appointments, either by in-person, or by phone calls. Most of them don't even accept emails. Even if you can program something that speak the line for you through phone (shouldn't be crazily difficult), they won't be as intelligent as real secretaries who can take questions, do negotiaons, etc.

However if they accept emails the functionality shouldn't be too difficult, from the technical perspective.

TBH I think most of the inefficiency of our daily life is due to lack of use of modern technology in banking/schools/doctors/gov/etc. They always argue "oh but it's not safe".

What does it mean for something to be a dog?
The largest meat processor has been hit with a cyberattack
Before the cloud took off Hortonworks and Cloudera owned the Big Data market.

They both offered a Hadoop distribution but had different strengths e.g. Hortonworks had fine grained access control, Cloudera had a better SQL product with Impala.

Then AWS came along and built their own which was significantly cheaper and more flexible as you could easily scale your cluster up/down. And so companies moved to it when they over time began to move to the cloud.

The Hortonworks/Cloudera response to this threat was to put away their differences and merge together.

Over time Big Data has evolved from being Hadoop centric to being much more ML/AI focused i.e. not just manipulating and querying the data but doing something interesting with it. And AWS, Azure, GCP have really jumped in with a whole suite of products that are tightly integrated with the rest of their cloud offerings. And it's a large part of what differentiates their offerings so they compete very hard.

So Cloudera has no choice but to do things that cloud providers won't or can't do: (1) focus on non-cloud or multi-cloud and (2) offer a much more integrated and cohesive solution.

But having spent 10+ years in this space and deployed many Hadoop clusters I can tell you that Cloudera is going to struggle. Companies that I never thought would move to the cloud e.g. banks are figuring out the security and regulatory challenges and eagerly moving across. And so it's going to be a Cloudera versus Amazon/Google/Microsoft which is an impossible fight.

I think the way it works for every single permission is that you can request it only once and your app can’t stop working if the user refuses.
Yeah, Opera gets grandfathered in from the days when the dominant browsers were IE, Firefox and Opera (later joined by Safari and later still by Chrome). It's hard to see them getting listed based on modern market share. Obviously it's a bit harder to tell from e.g. user agent statistics when Chrome, Edge, Brave, Opera, Vivaldi etc. are all basically Chrome, but I would expect Brave to have more users than Opera at this point. And if Brave doesn't qualify because they don't have their own browser engine, well neither does Opera any more.

Nah, you don't need an audit to notice $187 million/year flying out the door.

I dunno why you assume that I don't know about them...

Apart from that, they came pretty late, are still in experimental, and don't change the fact that only a subset of D is usable without GC.

I very much like D, I really do, but I never encountered a usecase where the pros of using D outweight the cons.
It sits in a very very weird spot design-wise, and while Walter and Andrei tried their best to get rid of the most common problems, not much of that effort resulted in actual useful change: Still no other GC than the default linear one, the stdlib is still not fully noGC usable (and probably never will), and "proper" compile time functions are still not done, after quite a few years now...

Which is a shame, D is very close to being the perfect C++ replacement.
> They didn't end the war, nor did they force parties to the negotiation table

This is a good example of how to not steer a FOSS project. Seriously, what was the steering committee thinking? I mean, I tend to agree with this decision, but do they honestly believe that just announcing such a big change without any public discussion beforehand is going to fly?
Venezuela is a dictatorship, not because Chavez wasn't elected, but because once elected, he put his finger more and more on the scales of the elections. He arrested opposition leaders so that they couldn't run effective campaigns. When Chavez died and Maduro came to power, he did more of the same, destroying the independence of the judiciary, and shutting down the opposition legislature.

Venezuela is a dictatorship whether or not Guaido won the last election. It's a dictatorship because the government took enough steps that it was impossible for anyone but Maduro to win.

Well, the US has already set that precedent. I was referring to the even more egregious century or two of direct colonialism involving cultural/moral imposition and the rewriting and dismantling of indigenous history (and economies) that the invasions typically resulted in, in the case of these western European powers, followed by another several decades of denying responsibility for the consequences of these events by essentially gaslighting.

What's with all the cyber attacks on US infrastructure?

I hope this is because of a self hardening mechanism and not what it looks like, continued assault by adversaries.
$25 million went to research that produced a life-saving vaccine and averted (or at least abated) a global crisis. Meanwhile the F-35 program at a lifetime cost of $1.7 trillion has produced basically nothing.

People's biggest criticism of taxation is all the government corruption and wastage that it enables, and IMO that is completely valid.

The absence of features is often one of the greatest values a tool can have.

Features that you don't use carry a cognitive load, increase the number of choices you have to make, and reduce the usability of other features that they have to be disambiguated with.

> if you were going to rant about people not reading things, you probably should have first validated your own assumptions

I did, but I didn't stumble on this revision. Now that you linked it, I see hints everywhere that I should have noticed the first time around. Thanks for bringing it up. Although, I'm rather unhappy if my rant was taken to be about reading comprehension though. It really wasn't. I'm annoyed at people blaming laws for poor implementation.

To tackle the revision though, lets looks at the revised text. It's kind of hard to get a hold of, since the EU document database is apparently down, but i managed to find a copy[1]. The relevant text seems to be:

establishing and operating age verification systems for users of video-sharing platforms with respect to content which may impair the physical, mental or moral development of minors;

Even here, it only calls for age verification. Again, there's no requirement for checking credit cards or passports. If we look at one of the drafts of the now enacted law[2], we see that they seem way more concerned with the differentiated moderation between platforms than the adequacy of the age verification process. We have to keep in mind that watershed (only showing adult content after a certain time) is considered an appropriate way of deterring minors from watching. The EU commission clearly don't think we should disallow children at any cost.

I don't think it's on my to find a better implementation for YouTube, but with all the smart engineers they have access to, I would think they could come up with something less intrusive.

I created this project: https://tree-annotation.org/

It's an independent software-world-improvement experiment that I am willing to suspend my career for, for as long as I can afford. For now it's just a solo experiment that is the most interesting software-related thing I want to do right now and I put all my chips on it.

If I am right enough about the value of it maybe a community can develop around it and support continued development. There would also be tremendous business potential in optimizing existing infrastructure with this.

At this stage, I just wonder whether this is interesting enough for anybody to put their resources into supporting its development and seeing where it will go.

So if anybody is interested in that, and the potential to become a pioneering supporter of a promising future technology is not a reward in itself ;), in exchange I can help with my skills and some of my time applied to your business problems.

Constructive shattering of my vision or words of encouragement are also welcome (best by email).

If it was merely someone impersonating the FSF, it wouldn't have legal weight. It might cause some confusion for (at most) a few days, but nothing more.
Don't hacktivists/eco-terrorists usually claim responsibility? Shutting down beef/oil production for a few days isn't going to do much for the environment, if at all since demand basically stays the same, so claiming responsibility and/or getting awareness is the only reason for hacking.
There are some other interesting ideas that aren't simply "invasive ads" or "subscriptions." Obviously, advertising was effective before the advent of the modern internet, so it seems like it should still be so if we rid ourselves of privacy-invasive hypertargeting and everyone has a level playing field (that being said, as the author and you yourself note, this does concentrate power in the hands of the best advertising "spots", e.g. Facebook or Google). There's stuff like BAT, which seems like it has a lot of potential but hasn't really taken off because most people just don't care enough about ads, and ads work well enough that there isn't sufficient motivation on the part of businesses to make it happen.

Why hire Dip:
- Worked as machine learning engineer + research engineer + backend engineer.

- single handedly deployed multiple ML system in production

- I believe creating baseline first and improving from it instead of going with biggest weapon.

- fast learner (worked on various project ranging from stitching photos to speech intent detection to solving NP-hard problems)

Why not to hire Dip:

- Need Research Scientist instead of MLE or Research Engineer

- Need senior (experienced) backend engineer
