TBH despite being a GPL zealot I think it is a fairly reasonable compromise to allow proprietary software to delete itself or stop itself from working if a user updates the GPL software. OTOH, the LGPL does not allow that, you have to allow re-linking with the proprietary code, so there is precedent the other way too.

IIRC the issue with GPL and iOS was that the GPL was/is incompatible with the App Store ToS.
A solid half of my income comes from an OSHW project I started 6 years ago back when I was a student [1].

While my product hasn't been knocked off* (I suspect the fact that I made the product affordable and provide good service and logistics to often-ignored markets such as Russia, China and South America is a big part of this), I can understand exactly how this can be financially devastating to a larger organisation like theirs.

I would estimate a solid 90%+ of Arduinos out there to be clones (almost 100% outside of the EU/US markets), and the lost revenue from these clones does nothing but limit their ability to do proper QA and R&D. (Yes, one clone purchased doesn't equal one lost sale of the genuine article, but it is higher than zero.)

All that said, I would be surprised if this didn't backfire.
The guys in Shenzhen will take all of a week to reverse engineer a fully working clone of this, Altium files or not. Meanwhile, the genuine, paying customers will be angered by Arduino's decision and it will hurt the brand overall.

As Gabe Newell quipped 10 years ago, piracy is a service problem. It can only be solved through better service and delivery/logistics.

Aren't you using a somewhat circular definition? The trick is to differentiate smartphone usage from addiction, which is determined by whether it's harmful.
I do know that. So, if you are saying there are chinese-americans of right views, who are appalled by what happened to the GOP and are opposed to the surge of religiously motivated (in my view bad) policy, I welcome it.

I'm not seeing this reflected in things said in the non-US media (I'm in australia) and my experience here, is that incursions into specific language and culture groups to garner votes tends to be crude, and in the margins: it works best when it appeals to pretty simple messages, and they tend not to be centerist ones.
Ops problem is more architecture and scale, IMO, as opposed to what coding language or JS framework.

I’d start with Postgres on the back end and then work with scale as needed over time. The service can be written in pretty much any language like Kotlin, Java, Python, or even Rust if you want. Personally I’ve never used Swift server side.

IMO the worse option is to try to over optimize and use some shiny technology that you don’t understand how to use.
Depends when you do it. Obviously if you go full Madagascar at the first sign of trouble, you’ll crush it, but it’d pretty absurd behavior (every false flag would trigger lockdown).

This was happening to me on Instagram as well. Using CloudFlare WARP+ and Instagram would deactivate my account arbitrarily. Figured it out only when I turned it off and the issues went away.
What concrete evidence do you have that social justice movements are "doing more harm than good" or that whatever harm they are doing is equivilent to flat earthers, anti-vaxxers and white supremacists?

It autoselects English which is correct for me. But then I figured out what it disregarded my preference and autoselected en-us mixed-endian date format *sigh*.
For the record, I do consider the war on drugs (mentioned by OP) authoritarian. How else can you describe a system of laws that has locked up more people than anyone else?

Furthermore, there is a clear difference between “you can’t do this to other people” and “you can’t do X or Y to your own body”, the latter of which is at play here. Photocopying money, selling dangerous medicine, and spamming the radio waves with noise actually affects other people. Personal experimentation with mRNA does not.

Regulating mass market mRNA products before they can be sold? Sure. Banning individual experimentation? Hell no.
Well, to be fair, these companies are only woke in some markets. This isn’t a global problem.

Show me the major corporation’s Middle East division with a pride logo. I’ll wait right here… skelton.

So clearly the solution to overly woke social justice is just for everyone to become the one religion that no one is allowed to criticize and who is still “allowed” to have different opinions.

Modern solutions and problems and all that.

Would you prefer to hold private parties somehow liable to follow your convenience or best interest, and not their best interest? Anyone who would suggest that should prepare for this approach to be applied to themselves — that is, being coerced to do what some other people want. Whatever it is, it's not freedom.

(Yes, indeed, the law works by coercion in the common interests. But I don't see any law having been broken here.)

So yes, it's free to play — what did you expect? Too much? Memorize this, and remember next time. Tell your friends and relatives what to not expect. Name and shame the entities which did something unsavory: this helps make users less gullible, and through that, nudges companies to be more careful.

Consider avoiding the use of stuff you don't control for important things. Be conscious when consuming free candy from a for-profit entity, even if you think your interests are currently aligned. But don't force anybody's hand.
I've just given this a go, with very little work I was able to produce a near seamless mask which was able to adapt to dynamic and changing pose - interesting stuff.

The main drawback I observed was computation speed, most edits required >20 seconds of loading/buffering (with a 1Gbps internet connection). I presume the computation occurs on their own servers, so with beefier hardware the performance could be increased, however my intuition is that the app would perform faster if running natively (rather than a shared resource quota on a remote server).

In this regard, the lack of performance could be a major productivity killer, my hypothesis is that it is the video processing/manipulation which is taking a long time (and not the model classification). Many companies have tackled this problem space with completely video transcoding chips (such as YouTube), however this generally still incurs long periods of waiting.
No, a queue, like a clip (actual clip not a small-arms magazine, which as you mention are push-down LIFO).
Awesome! Metadata backup is a very important function.
I'm not sure what you mean. I went through the list myself, and while the books are obviously only on Libgen, the only one I didn't find readily available in Google Scholar was the AIC paper (https://www.gwern.net/docs/statistics/decision/1998-akaike.p...), and you can safely assume any paper in GS is in SH too.
They've obviously learned from that experience. The new southwest light rail being built has a ridiculous number of bridges - it's going to rival Chicago's "L" when it opens in two years, at least as it goes through the suburbs.
Really? I'm surprised. My employer just removed cliffs for new offers, it does seem to becoming more popular. But my assumption is the cliff is something I couldn't easily negotiate as an individual.

Because this isn't true. Just because you're experience this effect (which blows), doesn't mean the tool and related tooling are somehow broken. These Regex issues should be fixed, libraries should update to safe versions, things should advance and any incentive we have we should use to make this happen.

Most don't. They'll call themselves "Wingduino" or something like that, and advertise themselves openly as "Arduino Compatible".
YouTube kids is kind of clearly designed for preschool children (5 or less), and you lose a lot of functionality.

It also blocks a huge amount of content, I just tried searching for Biotechnology related content most of it is not available. I’d guess because it’s not been marked as “targeted at children”.

There’s no way of saving or sharing content.

So, no it’s not a great solution in my opinion. It would be better to introduce these features into the main app.

the question is often do you have the means to acquire that pre ipo stock. except if you join very early, it's too expensive to buy your stock with the level of risk associated.

as an example, I joined an early stage startup as an exec (potential good deal!), but I would've had to shore 300k to exercise my stocks, pay taxes on it (minimal, that's the huge advantage here), and more than probably see it fail.

now let's play the opposite scenario: you join as an engineer late stage, each ISO might be valued at 10 dollars each. how do you exercise.

this game is skewed towards founders.

in my example, I had to quit for personal reasons and the company was later acquired. however I wan't able to afford, so I got got of $100ks at the time of acquisition.

removing these 90 days time would have let me gain what I was owed.

no hard feelings, because I knew the game, but it was the moment I decided no more startups that have this 90 days BS.
I forget where I heard it (might be a McLuhan thing), but any new medium/technology that comes out is initially used to produce the content of the old - so, movies recreated plays, TV recreated radio, internet recreated prior media forms - and it takes time for the medium to come into its own - for creators and practitioners to understand the new tool in its own light and to learn what they can do with it. I think ML is still in that space for creativity here - it's Much better at doing the old stuff, but we're not quite sure yet what the new stuff it does will look like.
There’s a significant difference in the amount of force on a car tire vs the amount of force on a plane tire while it’s landing. But it’s undoubtedly designed for.
My answer would be: as big as can be maintained by a "two pizza" team, a group that can have a daily standup etc..

Conway's law exists for a reason. A highly cohesive group of people can effectively maintain a highly coupled codebase. When your communication channels with another group are lower-bandwidth, your code-level coupling needs to be lower to reflect tha.
Equal how or in what regard?
I wouldn't say equally likely. They both have a non-zero probability of being true but a pattern of malfeasance such as you describe would be detected pretty quickly. Imagine this or thousands of similar conversations: "Brad, have you noticed that our porn videos get removed only when they get over a certain view count?" "I had noticed that, Bob! I wonder if that observation would be interesting to the media?!"

It also has minimal upside because YouTube makes more money on high view count videos by far, so removing only when a certain level of fame has hit a video cuts off the part that is economically interesting to YouTube. The tail is a loss leader.

Your scenario is not very plausible to me.
But you're back to the problem of breaking the business model of these companies. If everything was opt-in, subscription-only, that would fundamentally change these platforms.

Even then, with zero moderation, feeds that people subscribe to could still get overwhelmed by trolling and vitriol.

We already know they have been absolutely worthwhile to date. We've lived with very occasional lockdowns, and apart from that life has been normal for most people (apart from those in hospo, overseas tourism etc.), and there have been negligible death or serious illness from COVID-19.

That's not to say the same equation holds true from here on in. Constant revaluation is required.

such an infection would require the virus to hit a number of very low probability events in a row, like simply surviving outside the body for 15 minutes and a coordinated beelining of millions of particles into your lungs rather than dispersing out to the many orders of magnitude of space everywhere else around it. needless to say, it's quite unlikely, like less than lightning strike unlikely. as a society, we badly need to improve our ability to comparatively assess (and respond to) risk.
Good read.

An interesting idea would be to have 3 good options shuffled up with 2 bad ones.
That’s because a recruiter or HR person screens resumes at most big companies. I always tell them to send me all the resumes so I can screen them myself.

Have to find a way to get past the HR screen until you have experience. Somethings that work: go to meetups. Often times the hiring manager or a tech team member is there and you can meet them directly. Apply at startups that don’t have a recruiting department yet. Email the tech team directly if you can figure out who they are.

To be fair many of these words would be needed for running a bare metal kube cluster.

- Some servers: you need servers to run a bare metal cluster.

- CoreOS: This is just a minimal OS that's designed to be PXE booted. Think of it as a docker container for a bare metal machine.

- Kuma: Multi-cluster mesh network. This makes it easier to write services that talk to `foobar:8080` and have it automatically fail over to other pods in other regions. I wouldn't use kuma, there's a few other options, but this is very helpful. Good service meshs will allow you to do Canary deployments. If you are multi-cluster than this sort of reliability is probably important to you.

But, an important part of this is that you don't need these if you're ok with running on another cloud's infrastructure.
Good Lorde how I hate capacitive touch buttons on appliances and such. I regularly brush by my icemaker (it's a tight corridor/passage), and cause the water dispenser to splash everywhere. I have a 3D-modelled overlay (basically a custom mesh) queued for 3D printing, to stop it from happening. The moment the warranty ends, I'm ripping into it, and putting physical switches.

Well, I already opened it to solder a beeper bypass switch [aka "mute button], 'cause the thing was (multi-)beeping constantly, on every action and every result! But that mod is reversible without any visible changes... which reminds me, have to do the same to the bread machine. To my detriment, appliance makers these day are extremely beeper-happy.

The other related item is video training.

A lot of places replaced a policy and procedure manual for stuff like HR and Procurement with video content.

I had to do something for an employee on workers compensation a few years ago and the training consisted of a 45 minute video consisting of recitation of a PowerPoint and some screenshots from PeopleSoft. Literally a monotone HR drone reading form the slide, except he also added critical, unwritten commentary.
JuiceFS v0.15: Backup, Restore and Migration
I'm not convinced. A salary drop from a cliff isn't great, but cliffs are overall good for employees. A front loaded offer arrives at that even comp by baking future stock growth into the offer. A normal four year equity grant arrives at even comp with no movement on equity. I'd much rather have a normal grant and get a cliff if the company does really well.
Also, if you can't build a maintainable monolith, there's a good chance you won't build a good distributed system.
I think your analogy supports the GP's point. The recommendation engine doesn't understand that the recommendation is a violation, it makes a heuristic error because there is an indomitable mountain of content to classify and it lacks the sophistication to accurately do so. It's certainly logical to hold YouTube accountable for the content it recommends, but it's also naive to expect it to achieve the impossible.
quantum computers are not just faster classical computers. Quantum algorithms have no classical counterpart. In fact the literal clock speed per quantum computation may be slower but the computation will still get done faster overall.
The thing that frustrates me about the idea of optimizing for engagement, is that the winning strategy seems to be to make the interface worse. If it's hard to navigate and find things, then people spend more time using the product.

I assume that web developers have some techniques to determine whether people are spending more time on the site because it's legitimately useful and they're getting a lot of value out of it versus blundering around and not finding what they're looking for, but the whole idea of "engagement" seems like it could be summed up as "we don't think the distinction between those two things is important".
I remember way back in early 2000s another guy, I think named David Bell or David Belle. Nuts.
>ETF shareholders in this are financially penalized for “changing their mind” because moving their money into other ETFs is a taxable event

I think the point of ETFs is that big investors aren't penalized because they can trade "in-kind". They can exchange a large chunk of shares in the ETF for approximately the portfolio of stocks it corresponds to. Or vice versa.
You need exceedingly accurate timing and transmission to do computational inference with multiple telescopes. Even minuscule errors will wreck the entire effort. It is very, very hard even with only three telescopes on earth, nevermind a hundred hurtling around in orbit communicating with lasers.

The people who work on these things aren’t morons, and everyone knows the scaling factor of multiple receivers. It’s just very, very hard.

> Why would someone expect the recommendation algorithm to really know anything regarding whether videos violate their own policies?

There's a big push to blame recommendation engines in the wake of social media misinformation about elections and COVID-19. There's a growing perception, verging on conspiracy theory, that big social media companies are deliberately tuning their recommendation engines to promote this misinformation while publicly claiming to do the opposite.

This Mozilla report feels like a strangely clumsy attack piece. They relied on self-selected volunteers to proactively report videos that they called "regrets" using a Mozilla plugin. Users were given little direction about what to report as a "regret" but according to the Mozilla report they marked as many as 1 in 8 videos as "should not be on YouTube".

I have no idea how these self-reporters were going down a YouTube recommendations rabbit hole that ended up with 1 in 8 recommendations being policy-breaking or inappropriate, but that couldn't be farther from my own experience. I stream YouTube in the background while working on projects around the house and I can't recall the last time I was recommended a strange video that was somehow policy-breaking.

The YouTube algorithm is clearly very self-reinforcing. I suppose if the volunteers were actively searching YouTube for "regret" videos that broke policy then it's likely that the recommendation engine would be triggered into serving up more, similar videos. That's obviously not a valid representation of the typical user experience, though.
There are many mechanisms of trading. Some use a couple different oracles and average(more complex but essentially that's what it is). In order to 'minipulate' the oracles, you would get eaten alive by arbitrage. If there's a difference across exchanges, HFT bots will equalize. Chain link takes that to the extreme and requires no oracle, only arbitrage. Since any arbitrage opportunity will be exploited, you can allow the active trading price and take that at face value. You can actually minipulate that price, by selling at a reduced rate but the thesis is that it would be economically disadvantages to do so.
Its less that you choose to leave, and more that the company has a major incentive to fire you before one year.

A couple of weeks ago I had to stop at a train crossing, arrived just a few seconds late to beat the train. It was a very long train. Then I noticed it was slowing down. As it got within one car of passing the intersection it stopped completely. A guy jumped off and did some stuff, then jumped back on. And the train started moving again - in reverse! I wasn't timing how long I was stopped, but it seemed like forever.
