I think what OP meant is that the software might have made a mistake, but the miscarriage of justice was performed by the humans that just blindly sided with known buggy software.

We have to institute processes that make sure that business software is scrutinized first before blaming any humans. B2B software in large corporations and governments is almost always buggy. At least as a developer I've only seen horrific software in the B2B space. It's simple to see why. Governments and large corporations usually buy stuff centrally. So the users of the software are almost never involved in buying decisions. This leads to software being bought with a list of demands to be ticked off on a checklist.

Counterintuitive UX? Constant crashes? One wrong click corrupting the database? This is almost the standard, and there's no incentive for these companies to improve. The buyers did their thing, you have to deal with it.

Tibia was the game of my childhood. As someone mentioned, in Poland Tibia was what WoW was in the US.

I spent half my time playing outside after school and then hunting monsters and making a name for myself in Tibia.

That game - much like many other MMOs back in the days - was great because it wasn't hyper-optimized for endless grinding. It was just another world with very little facilitation mechanics. You had to live it, hunt monsters, make friends and make a name for yourself. Given the huge death penalty in Tibia, your action had weight and dying was very painful - which, combined with very loose anti-PK system, meant you have to watch out to not make enemies for yourself.

I really miss those MMOs from the early days, where the focus was on meeting people and socializing and playing WITH each other, not just NEXT TO each other.

I kinda had this feeling again with Classic WoW launching - with everyone still in the starting zones, the world felt alive, going to dungeons required actually finding some nice people and actually travelling to the dungeon instead of clicking a button. It was great.

I really miss that
The fascinating thing about using TiddlyWiki for me has been the way it turns my notes from a bunch of monolithic and siloed documents into something more akin to a personal search engine, letting me see how my past self has explained concepts in my own words. The chunking aspect helps with this. The approach has its own problems, no doubt, but for that alone it was a massive step up.
>I consider it near to an optima for encoding English in particular. A different spoken language, which might carry a different amount of bits per symbol, would be best encoded by a different writing system. I'm sure Cyrillic is near optimal for encoding Russian. I don't know enough to tell you how to break Cyrillic into k segments and still have it be recognizable, but it can probably be done.

I'm getting confused. At first you made this about written alphabets, but now you somehow relate this to information in the spoken language. The thing is, spoken language contains significantly more information than 26 letters. There are a number of sounds which are associated with combinations of letters e.g. "th". I have to agree with what someone else said further down the thread, this seems to be much like numerology after the fact that someone engineered 7 segment displays to represent ASCII characters.
I did this a while back with a Pixel 2. I decided it wasn't worth the trouble.

Phones are not designed for continuous power draw (and consequent heat dissipation) - contant-use power dissipation limits are very low. The performance dips dramatically, and the constant high temperature kills the onboard flash prematurely. Same thing applies to the radios - wifi and cellular. Sustained data transfer on either of those interfaces causes issues - dropouts/disconnects/thermal reboots.

This is in addition to the fact that phones just don't have great I/O.
Probably not. But he identified an issue in himself, and chose that way to address it. It evidently worked for him.
> and miss out on a ton of fun and opportunities.

This is the actual sentence you are referring to and it seems omitting the "ton of fun" part is a bit disingenuous as it clearly stands against this perceived technocratic and opportunistic use of people. The word "opportunity" is not used any other time in the article, by the way.
Given that the Chinese writing system has retained its large number of complex-to-draw characters for thousands of years, I think it's a bit of a stretch to consider that an alphabet is "far too efficient to ignore". Historically AIUI the alphabet is a comparatively rare invention -- more writing systems borrowed the concept from somewhere else than developed it from scratch.
So we should become friends with people we don't value? Like random people on the street? It's a good idea, but would be exhausting.

This is so awful, imagine if you were the guy that lost 3 years of his life, locked, with the shame, and the fear that no one will believe you...

In my opinion, someone between the prosecutor or the one that took the decision to sue should be sentenced to at least the same thing so that they could realize what they did.

Imagine at the original trial when the prosecutor probably did not have enough wrong words to justify how this person was a thief and a liar and should have an "exemplary" punishment...

When companies become slave of external investments the incentives and power dynamics of the company change.

That's why now I'm a strong promoter of bootstrapping, unless you have envisioned for yourself an exit too.

Then, and only then, yes, bring external investment as incentives are aligned with your peers. Maybe seed fund yourself and then bring Series A externally.

I refuse to believe that Tesla's image-based AI can discern better distance and depth information than LIDAR (even if they're using cameras with calibrated positioning for stereoscopic vision or something) without better sources than "Elon said so."

And I am talking about LIDAR not RADAR, even though RADAR also could be used as yet another sensor in the stack. Using only regular vision is a typical dumb Musk thing; LIDAR was quite a bit more expensive when these self-driving things begun to take hold and Musk didn't want that cost so he went all-in with his own dumb solution of "software will fix it."
Thanks, that clarifies things.

If so, crypto exchanges such as Coinbase could make a lot of money this way.
Hi, I'm Arpad, one half of Repography.

There's an entry in our FAQ [1] about this. We only use OAuth to identify your GitHub account and then the GitHub app installation has much better defined permissions.

I'd love to be able to restrict the OAuth scope even further but GitHub doesn't let us. I've heard this concern a couple of times now so I'll have another look. I can hopefully at least improve how it's presented and communicated so it's more reassuring!

> When I write my notes the thought, ‘Where am I going to put this?’ plagues me every time.

I use Roam differently:

- Most of what I write goes into daily notes in a flat structure, using bi-directional links for tagging.

- If a bi-directional link is used often, only then I clean up my linked notes into the page and starring the page if necessary for quick access.
> Most of people through most of history would not have consciously known there were atoms of writing smaller than a single letter.

Diacritics are the obvious counter example. The two dots you can put above a, o, u to change their sound, or in other languages above any vowel to indicate it's part of a different syllable then the following vowel. The undercomma to slightly change the sound of a s or c. The accent grave, acute or circumflex to indicate if that e is to be pronounced é, è, or ê (so more nasal or open). And that's just the popular, European ones. Languages like Arabic make diacritics even more central to their writing system.

Most companies demand an enormous amount of customisation from their ERP and CRM systems and will not change their processes to match the system. Many popular SaaS like Salesforce are more like platforms for building a solution.
Also Europe here, and leaving aside what others have said about how everyone is invested in the stock market whether explicitly or not (which is entirely true), this rings true for me as well - it's also backed up by data.

In the US, the majority of adults are invested in the markets (https://news.gallup.com/poll/266807/percentage-americans-own...), whereas in Europe the number of people invested has historically been lower (https://www.ft.com/content/31c4d453-498e-4cc2-b14f-d7e8b17b9...).

This makes sense when you think about it - in the past you would have built habits and understanding from relatives and your community (e.g. "Don't invest in stocks that's gambling and they always crash!"), whereas since the Internet came along people have more access to data and perspectives from more places.

All of the above said, the last few years, and especially since the lockdowns, the behaviour in the markets has been really alarming. The FT.com link above touches on this, but the rush into [stocks/cryptocurrencies/leveraged funds/options] is something I've never seen before in my lifetime. I don't think the world has ever seen anything like this level of amplified speculation. Bitcoin, Leveraged ETFs, and Options didn't exist in the 1920's. The Netherlands had futures contracts towards the end of Tulipmania, but I haven't seen anything to say that they were leveraged.

In the late 1990's it was clear and readily apparent to everyone that the Internet was a massively important step forward. We agreed on that. It wasn't a controversial or widely disputed viewpoint. The market still imploded because of the sheer amount of rampant speculation, so to think something worse won't happen to a multi-trillion dollar market based on a technology many people think only has value for running Ponzi schemes seems to be pretty irrational.

To top it off, the wall of hype seems impenetrable at this stage ("have fun staying poor!" etc), so it remains to be seen what happens when the plates stop spinning this time.

tldr; Your grandparents might be proven right after all.
I don't know where you find the limits here, in the sense that at some level there is a mistake here. People make mistakes.

What I do think is that anyone who pretended there wasn't a mistake, downplayed it when they knew it could be causing the prosecutions or even significant reconciliation issues, should be looked at.

First and foremost, in the UK, Fujitsu itself can (and I think should) be prosecuted for corporate manslaughter here if there is any evidence that Fujitsu executives conspired with the Post Office to keep this quiet, ever.

If anyone ever ordered a developer not to go public with their complaints, threatened a whistleblower, deleted evidence, that should crush Fujitsu for good.

But yes, individual executives should be at risk (the corporate veil can be pierced to include directors), and it's difficult to see how it is possible to rule out right now that there is real liability down the chain.

The situation at the Royal Mail is likely to be dramatically more serious, because there's a significant chance they were both covering up serious failings and knowingly directly prosecuting people to do so.
Personally I have a philosophical (read marxist) reason to avoid it. Fundamentally I see the stock market as an exploitation tool which the rich use to siphon money away from workers and into their own pockets without contributing.

Every dollar you get but didn’t work for was a dollar that somebody else worked for but didn’t get. The stock market is full of transactions which yields profits for the rich while leaving workers at a loss by means of lower benefits. I refuse to participate and become a class traitor.

I’ve never worked in an industry which tries to push stocks onto you as much as software development. They keep paying me out options, giving me stock plans, etc. My strategy is to get sell as soon as I’m able, and transfer the money to a savings account in my local credit union. Don’t let them get away with not giving me my money, but don’t let them dictate how I keep my savings.

He is not right. Does anyone really think that EU regulators don't know that every request provides the server with an IP address?

Will they start sueing every US company that doesn't comply with GDPR? Of course not. The EU is doing this to build pressure against the US and their surveillance fetish. And it's good that they are, because otherwise, who will?

The US government has proven time and over again that they do not care about their citizens' privacy and straight up lie to their faces. And then there is the CLOUD act, which now starts to affect non-US citizens, too.

The kind of person who needs a process like that would most likely also need a very strong push to follow through with it. Chances are cosplaying entrepreneur lingo is the nth iteration in a long line of attempts to convince themselves, new year's resolutions and the like, with all of the more dignified approaches having utterly failed.

I'm in the same boats, both of them: the author's, failing to keep in touch and being aware of it, and yours, being intuitively revulsed by the systematic approach. I even refuse taking part in that weird ritual of Facebook birthday wishes, because I consider it somewhat dishonest to congratulate when I didn't remember myself.
> He'd miss contacting them.

No, you would miss contacting them. But he is not you.

Your comment can be read in two ways. Perhaps you think everyone should be like you and those who are different are "sad". I hope I don't need to explain why this is wrong. Or perhaps you think someone who isn't like you doesn't deserve to have any human contact and should be alone. What a horrible thing to think.

That seems like a very neurotypical view point. Of course people miss people, however, some people (especially people with for instance ADHD) often forget stuff and get distracted, so having an extra layer of organisation can be extremely helpful.

At no point does he talk about making everyone into a deep friend. I guess english language is just incapable of explaining it due to not enough words to express the spectrum?

Do note that he has different "frequency" categories (which don't have to map to "type of friendship" same way even in that one database!).

Some are just people he is interested in meeting, maybe keeping in light contact over time. Some more often. Some so often that he actually pushes his schedule to ensure regular time for meetings, something that can be ridiculously hard even without crippling anxiety.
Whether or not you care about the stock market is basically a question of whether you run a functioning business or not. If you run a function business then you are have cash sitting on accounts. Even for a fairly modest business, a reasonable operating cushion dictates that you always have 6-7 figure cash reserve. Ideally you want this money to be sitting somewhere where it generates good returns, yet can be accessed quickly and with low transaction costs. Therefore shares and funds start to make sense. These days you can actually move cash directly into funds from your corporate online bank.

Shares (and all their financial derivatives) are a good hedge for profitable limited companies, because they either go up in value (yay! profit!) or down in value (yay! tax deductable loss rolled over to next year!). So long as the company is otherwise making a profit, shares are actually pretty hard to lose out on.

Also pensions. Most pensions are backed by index funds which are generally related somehow to stocks and shares. If you need to manage a pension fund, you have to pay at least vague attention to the stock market.
>but I‘m terribly unorganized

I really should call XY is such a common thought that fades away a second later. Even if it's someone I am really fond of. If they're not in my immediate circle, it's going to be additional work to keep that relationship alive.

Putting it on my calendar or as a reminder actually makes me reach out to that person. Win-win. If anything, this shows me _caring_ about someone. Many of these conversations with the people I have in mind often start where we left off too - no matter how many weeks or months in between - which makes me think this all is not about a lack of connection.
I think there is no definite answer, and it's therefore only natural that common insights contradict each other. I've read Ben Graham's often recommended book, and the take there is that the market is a lot of times completely irrational, if not most of the time. A reason for a stock going down could be that it's not "sexy" and not viewed as the future big thing, but if the company has a solid business model, people will come back to it. There were plenty of examples of that. But what is a good business? Well, you need to know a lot of metrics companies publish on their earnings, debt etc. and also you need experience to see through any possible accounting shenanigans (e.g. Under Armour admitted last year they kept moving future earnings to the current quarter so it seems their current quarter was more profitable than it really was).

The reality is that it's much more complicated than any one liner, and that most normal people that invest, invest based on gut feeling. It only really works by chance. Or they invest in index or mutual funds.

US laborers suffer from the Triffin dilemma[1] by way of the US dollar acting as both a global reserve currency and a national currency. Should US workers have access to an alternate currency, there is a possibility that the trade deficit wich began in the 1970s could be addressed. Though this would put the US government in the position of controlling the world's reserve currency, but not exerting control over domestic monetary policy which I really don't see happening.

In the 1980s (or maybe the 70s), the UK Parliament debated a bill covering wiretapping. There was a line of questions as to what a lineman should do if he discovered a wiretap, because he couldn't assume it was a 'legitimate' one by the security services, but if he assumed it wasn't he might run afoul of provisions of the law.

This shows a couple of things:

- Back then extensive surveillance would have been hard to conceal because it would have been noticed by the large workforce needed to physically maintain the system.

- At that point members of parliament could reason correctly about the internal details of the telephone network, because it was simpler, and because many MPs had become MPs via the unions and so had experience of a trade.

> A software error needs to be calculated for. This is technical reality that cannot be changed as of today. Of course that also implicates other industries like banking.

The problem is that, unlike forensic analyses and other scientific methods, the likelihood and nature of software errors is totally unpredictable.

Most regular people would expect an accounting software to maybe have UI bugs, or being occasionally unavailable, or any other number of annoying, but ultimately insignificant issues. They wouldn't expect it to mess up accounting.

Software is only "eating the world" because people trust its usefulness. At some point I wonder if we as an industry are not about to teach the world that software is not to be trusted, at least not for high-stakes situations. This is not the only example, think also about e.g. the Equifax security breach or the Boeing 737 Max disaster.
