> > You cannot analyse how users will empirically interact with a product that does not yet exist.

You can certainly refine the software over time (A/B testing, if you will) to more closely attain the ideal, which you may not have well defined at the beginning of the project if you don't perform an adequate review of the needs of the user.

But you can certainly also complete a user analysis that produces requirements, which when fulfilled, solve the problem in its entirety for the user. These two extremes are not absolute - sometimes, if the analysis is incomplete, A/B testing can rescue the project regardless of how poorly the first analysis was performed - but A/B testing, it could be argued, is applying waterfall properly: iteratively, as intended... but by all means, call it 'agile' if that makes the difference to the team involved.
Somehow, I too see a lot of features that exists solely to increase the company's profit and only annoy customers.

Imo, receptionists, administrative assistant and "makers of websites whose sites neglect ease of use and speed for looks" are all actually useful. Their function is not just to make someone feel superior. Instead, I would argue that whoever wrote that was caught in own feeling of superiority over service staff.

The problem is not the content of the video, crypto or not. The problem is not that YT moderates aggressively (it doesn't do enough IMHO) or even how it moderates.

The problem is that there is no serious appeals process, and no third party oversight of moderation decisions. This is true for all the big platforms.

How do we fix that, IDK, but probably at the government level.

Sadly the structure of the EU makes it very likely that they will have success. The culture war around Brexit makes admitting it difficult for some, but it was always known and not even denied that there are democratic deficits at the core of the EU institutions and reform was always promised.

But now being in a union with people completely denying these problems is difficult to accept. But the most obvious problem is that it is a central administration where special interests have it much easier to influence large markets. This would be almost impossible if they need to convince every single parliament. Meanwhile commoners nearly have no voice aside a very passive one with voting. For the same reason businesses prefer to have as few suppliers as possible, they also prefer to have as few legislators they need to influence. We created a single point of failure without too much benefit.

Some dream of a European Federation. I see more disadvantages than advantages here, even if forming of block that can assert power towards China or the US.

Ireland hosts a lot of foreign companies in Europe simply due to tax advantages. This made cities like Dublin highly relevant and is a good strategy for the country. Of course it will also try to support with other means. But it also means that societies don't collect much tax from an industry worth billions and such efforts will undermine the values that the EU set out to protect against allegedly larger dangers.

For me personally the EU has been very expensive and I don't see anyone that would argue in my favor to not be exploited to finance ideological ambitions.

It goes like this: for as long as we are incompletely applying waterfall, someone else will attempt to refactor the natural process and call it something else, instead of just recognizing and then completing the waterfall process. This will be the state of things until either a) everyone abandons waterfall and/or calls it something else or b) waterfall is just so well understood as a natural law of the industry.

So its really more of a self-fulfilling prophecy situation, and yes in that regard, we are in a cult.
It is utterly naive to think that Facebook does not plainly ignore the regulations here. They have done it everywhere else.
And once the data is in the model, the Goose is cooked. Who cares about a few million fine?

In fact, Facebook would be irrational not to train their algorithms on every single data point, regulations and opt outs be damned. And that people itt have found that their data says opt in no matter what they pressed in 2016 is believable evidence for that.

As always: Don’t forget what Facebook has done in terms of data leaks, political skew, impact on the pandemic and damage of teenagers on instagram.
Do not forget how well they kept this under wraps and how little remorse they have, except in proportion to the fine.

Given the past years, we know that people working at Facebook are literally mustache-twirling cartoon villains, and I wish this was exaggerated.
Why do you use YouTube? The <video> html tag was invented 10+ years ago and works flawlessly with mp4.
The claim that Brave is spyware is bogus; see https://twitter.com/BraveSampson/status/1348400822925856770 for a point-by-point response. Best to get privacy and security insights from reliable, competent sources (e.g. https://www.scss.tcd.ie/Doug.Leith/pubs/browser_privacy.pdf).

The issues mentioned by Tom Scott (from December of 2018) were wholly unrelated to security or privacy, and instead serve as a case-study in UI/UX and messaging. Allow me to explain a bit in greater detail.

Brave held a token sale in 2017 which resulted in 300 million BAT being added to a User Growth Pool. In 2018 we invited Brave users to direct BAT grants (that is, BAT belonging to Brave) to their favorite content creators. Some users expressed a desire to support Tom Scott (as they should; his content is phenomenal).

Brave's UI explicitly marked verified creators as such, but made no explicit indication when a creator was unverified (we followed a similar model to Twitter, which gives checkmarks only to verified accounts). This resulted in some confusion among our users about whether or not Tom was a verified creator.

Some users chose to direct BAT (again, from Brave's own User Growth Pool) to Tom's YouTube account. At the time, this BAT would migrate from the UGP through to a Settlement Wallet, waiting to be collected by the creator. Again, we're talking about BAT from Brave's own wallet--no user funds involved.

After listening to Tom's feedback over Twitter, Brave took action and made a series of prompt changes. For starters, we began to explicitly identify unverified creators as such (not doing so was a naïve design decision on our part). Secondly, we modified the contribution model such that Brave (the browser) would not send tips to any unverified creator (that is, no BAT would go into a settlement wallet). Instead, issued tips now remain in the user's control for up to 90 days while the browser routinely checks to see if the intended recipient has verified.

We blogged about these changes at the time: https://brave.com/rewards-update/. We made these changes in fewer than 48 hours, IIRC. Tom's feedback was excellent, and resulted in a substantially better tipping model in Brave. Of these changes, Tom shared on Twitter "These are good changes, and they fix the complaints I had!".

I hope this helps!

It's mostly meant for enterprise use cases. Think something like hotel WiFi. Which is easier to secure? The cloud accounts, or physical access to the several hundred devices in the hotel? Even in private buildings, if you're deploying thousands of access points, you may not trust the minimum wage third party contractors doing all the installations and don't want on-device configuration to be possible.

This is just "communism can never fail, it can only be failed" but for Waterfall.
No, I didn't. We're talking about Google here, not about all the companies of the whole world with the same, or similar behavior.
This is why I have like to have many google accounts. One for personal mail, one for my own youtube channel, another for my 2nd channel with random uploads, another for gmail for the first youtube account and another account for gmail for the other youtube account, plus 2 more gmail accounts for spam or when I need to signup with an email for another expendable service, I use one of these.

I don't do anything on my personal Google account, just mail. Also I use a Google account only for one product at a time.

People need to threat google, apple and facebook accounts as expendible.
For brand name journals and conferences, yes they do. My experience with those is a very high rejection rate.

There is a good reason to reject if you are not using a standard dataset. How can you compare the results of two approaches, to say natural language inference of whether one sentence entails another, without results being tested on the same dataset?

I think one thing overlooked in the conversation is that many papers start with a standard baseline and then use another dataset to establish additional results.

In my experience in nlp also, journals and conferences tend to establish datasets of their own when they make a call for submission. Often these are called the "shared task" track. ACL has operated this way for decades.
This matches my experience with Facebook “opt outs”.

Hm, I don't think that amounts to a guarantee that you get your money back? Surely you can also sue a crypto exchange already? But if they don't have your money, it won't help - likewise with the banks.

Were customers even affected in this Bitcoin heist? Just because some crypto was stolen from the exchange, doesn't mean they won't pay their customers? 150M loss might not be that much in the greater scheme of things. A bank could also make losses of 150M by investing their customers money?

You can also lose your money on the stock exchange, with regular banks as brokers.

An Email is not analogous to a house, it's more akin to a tent, or a lean-to; A simple solution to a simple problem.

Tent: How can we build a serviceable shelter that can be quickly un/packed, built, and costs next to nothing?

Email: How can we enable everyone to send messages to everyone else with as little inconvenience as possible?

Both solutions solve the stated problem, and that's it. If I want a secure shelter, a tent alone will not suffice, I have to build a ditch&wall around it. Similarly, if I want secure communication, I have to encrypt the message before sending it via Email.

SMTP is not made to be secure, because that's not the problem domain it concerns itself with.
Exactly. I can't imagine running a doctors office without a reception. Or really any public facing company/office without a reception. Would anyone like to have the dentist use his time to answer the phone rather than fix teeth? Seems like that would under utilize the dentist's degree.

The user attempted to install an extension; this results in a request to Google's Servers (which Brave proxies to prevent users from making unintended contact with Google). If Brave's proxy happened to return a 401 response (requesting authentication), then the user would see the "Access Denied" message shown in their screenshot. It's also possible that this message could have come from Google's own server (via the Brave proxy). It's not possible to tell from the data available.

We're looking into this from our end, to see if there were any recent proxy-interruptions which might explain the user's experience.

Or software that was built on outdated foundations, like frameworks and providers which may have been "in-vogue" at the product conception, but deflated or advanced into maintenance-only stage by the product release.

Let's not forget that the competition is not sleeping meanwhile, so Waterfall is equally capable of pushing out half-cooked products just to be ahead or to meet obligations/expectations.

The problem is that they set a bar there. There is a gulf between consumer and enterprise APs that is full of only Unifi-esque gear. “Cloud management” is an OOB requirement and primary use case for SOHO gear these days. It’s a fleet management issue, just wish it could be done with proper config management and not phoning home. But they’re selling to small shops doing IT for 10s of law firms or doctor’s offices.

I’d never use Ubiquiti’s switches, routers, etc. There are great alternatives there. But when I went to replace my APs earlier this year I still could not find anything less shady that still did what I needed.

Is there an alternative that does PoE w/ multiple APs that hand-off well? And decent hardware…

TP-Link has a similar offering but with similar problems.

OpenWRT on [consumer gear] is not an answer here. More effort goes into the plastic than the hardware. Never dealing with cheap NICs, bad SoCs, inadequate memory, garbage drivers, etc. again.

I know losing a YouTube channel is horrible, especially after you dedicated so much time, effort and money - and for some people it may be a source of income as well. It is totally unfair.

But my nightmare in here is that you lose access to your whole Google account and that would devastate me. Not only email access (and thus, access to every service I use because I have my Google account linked to it), but also Google Photos, with memories from the past 15 years with loved ones (even photos of my mom who passed away). And I am sure a lot of other services that I cannot remember now (by the way, imagine you are hired by a company that uses Google Cloud, you couldn't technically work for them?)
