I used to work with a "GUI Expert" who designed everything like the 100-radio-button example, except that he didn't line anything up.

I'd look at something he'd done with controls snaking left and right as you scanned down the dialog, and I'd (sigh to myself internally, and) say "OK, go ahead and clean it up and check it in", and he'd look confused and ask "clean what up?"

He was actually UI blind in the same way some people are face blind...
I remember reading stories in the late 90's/early 00's of workers in the Amazon warehouse becoming millionaires thanks to stock options and big jumps in the stock price. It sounds like that does not happen anymore except for employees in the offices. Perhaps employees in the offices know recognise that Amazon has overstepped its bounds but stick around waiting for vesting and/or (smaller) increases in stock price.
You can't compare selling goods to employing people in that way. Consider the fact that there are humans on both sides. Businesses can use their power to abuse employees in a way that can't be done to goods. If you are the main source of income for a person, you have massive influence over them. Government creates laws to balance the power. There are countless cases of abuse by employers including physical and sexual. Very different from selling goods or having a gym membership.
I'm kind of fascinated how internet hype speech is taking over categories of image representation and art styles.

That is the whole point of the state: that it is permitted to conduct violence for its preservation. In republics/representative democracies, the people endow the state with this power via elections. It's not a utopia, but at the end of the day the ownership of the state remains with the people, that is, a collective of individually thinking voting persons. This is in utter contrast to the monarchies and despotisms that preceded modern representative democracies.
After Brexit human rights are no longer guaranteed in the UK as witnessed in the way the Home Office operates. Boris is also hell bent on making London a haven for big tech free from EU Tax regulations.
>Letting a known faulty AI decide if someone will have money for food tomorrow is way across the line.

So is the implication here that humans are less faulty, or that there's something intrinsically wrong about an AI making this decision rather than a human?

If the former, then this is an issue that the technology will probably eventually solve. If the latter, well... that doesn't seem very justifiable, to say the least.

If Amazon has leaned too far in the direction of automation without oversight, then we'll see other firms fail to adopt these same practices. But it seems pretty inevitable to me that we'll see many more AI-driven hiring/firing decisions in 10 years or so than fewer. And if some sclerotic regulations try to slow this down, that will likely be unfortunate for consumers.
I think your should read is more accurate.

I do wish it weren't within a more pure/honest & a less broken capitalism (i.e. insider-hegemony) model.
Your point? I think everyone reading the article understands quite well what is meant by "dystopian legacy".
No digits? No party!
That looks more like a data entry keyboard.

Yes, no party!
Well, not exactly. The ideological trick is to package pain and hardship and to sell it as something wonderful. It's not really even about promising good things in the future. That only works for part of the population (essentially the marshmallow experiment). What Goebbels did is much more immediate. If you identify with Goebbels, then the hardship itself registers as something that's good, and not merely as a promise of a delayed reward.
Yes, but since there is no way to charge this thing in a setup with only MagSafe chargers, I’ll have to bring wire back in my life. The phone will only charge this when plugged in, this will only charge the phone when plugged in, and it can only be independently charged when plugged in. There should have been a charging coil at the back so the power bank itself could be charged via MagSafe charger.
This is exactly what happened in the recession in the 70s in Europe which caused a crisis in the industry in for example Sweden, and the reason why Thatcher had to push through the unpopular neoliberal reforms in the UK. Unions caused stagnation and the industry could not compete with the recovering global competition, from Japan etc.

I'm beginning to think working conditions will have to get worse, if possible, in order for the average worker to accept unions?

I find it sad.

Every job I didn't despise secretly had union affiliation.

Uber did buy prop 22. They used simple psychological ployes to pass their prop. (Yes--I know prop 22 was just about Independant Contrators. They will use similar tactics if we ever see an uptick in unions.)

More start-ups/companys will use it in the future.

Uber knew they could get desperate guys to go out and buy a late model 4 door car, pay all expenses, and be at the mercy of Uber.

America The Great is not so great anymore. An idiot became president exploiting the obvious. Yes--he went to race, but it's of his flock only went to working conditions.

We have a lot of lousy jobs.

Calling it a Side Hussle, or your ouwn boss, was just a beautiful ploy. I hope the fresh faced immoral corporate MBA stooge who brought that up in the meeting was well compensated.

I don't know very many people (Americans) who don't believe they will make it someday. They liked the little bit of autonomy Uber provided, even if that meant working for under minimum wage, after computing the car, insurance, maintance, and gas.

Driving for Uber was just going to be temporary.

The psychology is I'm an entrepreneur, and this Uber gig is just a stepping stone until I get a better gig. (Rap music playing in the backround)

The truth is most will never get a better gig, or worse--might go bankrupt, be fired over email, or just become Judgement proof after they ruin their credit.

Uber played into this mind puck beautifully.

They actually got those desperate guys fearful they would not be successful if they were just employees.

>People who offer comments on code beyond how to add material functionality (i.e. more inputs), make it faster, or decrease the code size are trash humans.

I strongly disagree. Making code more maintainable and easy to understand is very important. Enforcing style guides is important
Because a company has tens, hundreds or thousands of employees.

Employees generally have 1 job (at a time) and 1 career.

It's really hard for an employee to screw over a company for good and trivial for companies to completely destroy an employee's career and life.

The asymmetry needs to be counterbalanced actively, especially since companies can have people on their payroll 24/7 to fight for more company rights. Employees can't afford that.
People have historically complained a lot about firings not being based on an objective formula. Now the complaint is an objective formula is being used.

> WW2 prisoner camps

For starters, those camps would shoot anyone who tried to leave. Not the same thing at all.
As a German I don't understand what you mean? Unions are always political, and leftist/socialist by nature. You can't separate politics and economics. And of course they are about solidarity, what else would give them the strength to strike for better working conditions?
I personally don't care, but for all the people living from paycheck to paycheck in a low wage job this is the bare minimum of security they would want from their job.

It's important to note that the company gets help from the state shouldn't they be able to pay their workers. So it's not only enforced on the employers but backed by the state

Well you don't need a Joker-style nihilistic attitude to cause as much damage as possible to everyone without distinction. This can also be achieved in a meaningful way following the workers tradition of sabotage and direct action.

Hurt or destroy those people/structures making our lives hell. That makes sense. Just don't drag random people into it.

This appears to be the article being discussed. Figure two and reference 30 give numbers for the magnitude of the 18 year variation due to moon wobble. In St Petersburg, Florida, it's a 4.7 cm variation. Other parts of the world can experience up to a 30 cm variation of high tide variation.

So basically it's definitely something to account for with the linear rise of sea level due to climate change, with some years being worse relatively to others.

You don't even need to back door it. WhatsApp already implemented restrictions on forwarding of messages, which shouldn't be possible if the encryption worked. Of course they didn't need to: you can just include a "forwarded counter" in the message and enforce it on the client. That trick can be done for any rule they wish to enforce.
In my first job as a sysadmin I tried my best to support business and two things happened:

1 - My paycheck did not increase when business was successful.

2 - When something broke as a result of assuming risks to deliver stuff, I was blamed, not business.

So I realized the most rational thing I could do was to become a bureaucrat and ended up leaving.

Now I work in a place where business and IT are in the same team and have the same financial incentives. I tend to make reasonable consesions and business people actually care about security and keeping tech debt sane. Pretty cool.
And yet it's just repeating something that appeared in Politico, so if you wish to ad hominem this page you need to also do it to them.
> a version that someone sold without permission.

I'd call that unlicensed. And fraud too.

> living within the prevailing legal environment

Right. The book 1984 describes a society where it is outlawed to posses old books. So when a company within the prevailing legal framework removes that book written in 1948 from users' devices, the parallels are a bit too strong to not notice.

> you can still add 1984 as a document directly to your kindle

You can. That part was hyperbole on my part. Thankfully. But there are factions that work on making this difficult. Already now cloud companies are scanning for unlicensed copies in private stashes. The fight escalates as copying becomes cheaper.
And what's wrong with "If you don't like Amazon or what they are doing to their workers, write an article about it"?
I have both Ergodox EZ, and ZSA Moonlander

- Even though Moonlander has approximately same layout as Ergodox, the "margins" around the keyboard are a lot smaller, so I noticed it fit a lot better on my desk. Small thing, but I felt it made difference for me.

- The thumb clusters are more ergonomic for me on the Moonlander

- I still often feel that I would like to have an extra row of buttons on the Ergodox/Moonlander, instead of the layer system. Oh, well ...
> I know people who never update their machine because of this.

HA!

I was just testing a VR app that has a Windows component when things started failing in VR. I took off my headset and noticed my test machine going through power-on self test.

"Oh crap!", I thought, "a bug caused the system to reboot".

Nope. Just Microsoft deciding it's time to apply some updates. Doesn't matter that I scheduled for a time that I wouldn't be testing.

I've NEVER been able to successfully gain control of this, despite reading up on it and doing all the recommended things.

When I tried something like this, write heavy activities were pretty slow. Extreme example was running something like "npm install" (write many small files) on the host. That took about 10x time compared to doing it in WSL. I've had similar slow performance with shared folders in things like Vagrant.

Disclaimer: I did this 2-ish years ago, it may have changed by now.
yes indeed. i'd further say that having physical patch cables, at least for me, tend to push to more experimentation especially for modulations, at the expense of having patches that are difficult to reproduce. in the end both have their advantages and inconvénients.
Apple's volume control is laughable. That stupid blipping noise for "feedback" as if you couldn't hear the sounds that is already playing. Naturally the bip is at a squarker bursting volume because all the hip kids listem to music compressed into oblivion and a bit of spare dynamic range is not something any Apple customer will ever understand.
I am sure many fanbois bemoan the fact that their hi-fi does not have the exact same apple blessed bip, it will not be long before DJs pump up the volume with accompanying bips.
Massive success is rare and being there early is even more rare. It still happens. An artist who painted murals for Facebook's office got paid in shares that were worth $200M after IPO. Any current employees have no expectation in similar stock gains any time soon, that kind of explosive growth happens before IPO.
World of Warcraft even had a straight up server emulator where they recreated the server-side code from scratch for various versions and kept the story progression and raids going like it was in the original, that was some dedication!
I was gonna say that... but I guess having that in the charter is better than nothing.

It is rather laughable looking at the lives of many citizens even in richer countries, though.
Small aircraft on short routes are quite a niche market right now, but electric aircraft have a very good value proposition there, reducing both fuel and maintenance costs drastically.

Depending on how things work out, in 10 years we might see a lot more flights in 10-30 seat electric aircraft, e.g. as connecting flights to tiny airports.
> want my location

Location access attempts result in a prompt, asking whether you want the app to have access to your location. You can give it access once, only when it's active, or even in the background (the latter might make sense for a fitness app/ mileage tracking app/ that sort of thing). It's your choice.

No, the implication is that we believe that these algorithms are non-faulty and therefore throw away all the provisions for recourse and review that exist with human-driven systems.

There is no nuance, no leeway, and no way for you to reason your case with a thinking human on the other side of the decision. The algorithms & systems are also almost always completely opaque in their workings, with neither the person on the receiving end nor the company's staff having any insight into why they made decisions or what data was used.

Using algorithms for life-affecting decisions like this would not be nearly as bad if you had a reasonable ability to appeal and have the decision be taken as final.

It doesn't even have to be AI, or an algorithm. The British Post Office Horizon scandal is an example of lives ruined by an assumption that accounting software could never be wrong.

But also. Cutter is the first time that either Rizin or Radare has been simple enough for me, an entry level RE enthusiast, to use. So thanks.
I'd argue that if a process does not have room for you to explain yourself, and ensure that ALL data is taken into consideration by the other side then such process is authoritarian and not objective. An algorithm only looks at data it was programmed to look at, which is usually too narrow to be able to be without faults in the real world.

There are good reasons why judicial systems have higher instances in them to which you can appeal to if you don't agree with lower instance.

Poland and Hungary are in violation of many articles of EU.

The grievance is that the US lacks many of those articles.

Principles of EU > Principles of US >>>> Principles of China.
> So is the implication here that humans are less faulty

AI is just humans hiding behind a machine. And everything else being the same, those who have to hide their reasons or themselves are always intrinsically weaker and worth less than those who don't. That needs no explanation for people who own their shit, and no explanation will suffice for those who do.

> that will likely be unfortunate for consumers.

Consumers aren't just consumers. They have jobs, they have friends and family who have jobs.
AFAIK, Denmark doesn't even have a minimum wage, it's just that pretty much every sector and niche of the economy has unions so it is de facto enforced via union <-> sector negotiations.
Unions are great, and people who are against them fall in one of three categories:

- business owner

- absolute free market fetishists

- one bad experience cherry pickers

> Inquiry by C.I.A. Affirms It Spied on Senate Panel — An internal investigation by the C.I.A. has found that its officers penetrated a computer network used by the Senate Intelligence Committee in preparing its damning report on the C.I.A.’s detention and interrogation program.

> The report by the agency’s inspector general also found that C.I.A. officers read the emails of the Senate investigators and sent a criminal referral to the Justice Department based on false information, according to a summary of findings made public on Thursday. One official with knowledge of the report’s conclusions said the investigation also discovered that the officers created a false online identity to gain access on more than one occasion to computers used by the committee staff.
This comment is hilarious. It highlights Americans selective view of history and ignorance of what their country regularly does.
It helps that a minimum wage and absurd regulation conspire to eliminate a good size of firms that would otherwise be competing in a fair labour market. And let's not get started on the taxes that small and medium sized businesses have to pay, and that Amazon is exempt from.

Raising social safety nets would only lead to inflation, and so now you need to put a price ceiling on essential goods&services, which leads to a shortage, and now you're in a bigger mess than when you started. Inflation and shortages in the long term does not lead to growth, it leads too stagflation.

In this instance, where there is a failure in the labour market, you don't actually have to 'fix' it, you just have to give a fair labour market a chance.
I think the point is that to the AI, an employee is just a number. Interchangeable at any moment, with no consideration for the human person and how it affects them.
What the hell ! I moved from France to Ireland and there was no question asked at any point, I just booked a ferry and rented a flat, no paperwork at all and I could live there as long as I wanted to.

People have historically complained a lot about firings not being based on an objective formula. Now the complaint is an objective formula is being used.

The same datasets given to human operators would not produce biased results.

And it isn't merely a question of unbalanced classes. The "bias" is, in part, arising from the inability of machine algorithms to apply rich models to datasets; and to treat "alike images" "alike" -- because the machine has no model of "alike".

In the case of images, luminosity values on an image sensor are not constitutive of human facial identity. Any algorithm unable to derive actual identity markers from these is necessarily fundamentally limited -- and routinely, these limitations lead to bias.
CO2 footprint would be nice, but CO2 isn't only environmental factor to consider. I'd rather have colour-coded stickers with two scales - absolute and relative within a product category.

A sticker on a diesel car would be RED/RED and a sticker on a tiny EV car would be RED/GREEN.

A sticker on an apple from a domestic market would be GREEN/GREEN and an apple imported from a country 1000s miles away would be GREEN/ORANGE.

Ideally, the labeling would be a reflection of a fiscal mechanism to charge for externalities in the entire chain - from production to a sale and disposal.

While climate crisis is a global issue, almost all the power for taking major, large-scale action resides at the national level. The international structure is (and is explicitly designed to be) nearly incapable of forcing major nations to do anything without their consent, so global agreements and major multilateral action (e.g. affecting the global oil supply) are feasible if and only if they are aligned with what's acceptable and desired by the separate nations.

In that regard, if we're looking at how to motivate change to actually happen, it is appropriate to look at the incentives that would/wouldn't make sense from the national perspective - because otherwise it's just empty PR and wishful thinking, proposals that have no chance to get implemented. And, to put it explicitly, climate change is not currently overriding most other aspects of national interests, far from it, it's not (yet?) the #1 or even #3 concern in most countries elections or unelected leader motivations.
