Isn't the only thing required for Backstage a GitHub account? It's been a while but I remember GitLab not having the same feature parity and OSS alternatives like Gitea being completely left in the dust. Kinda disappointing if this is still the case, that an OS tool requires corporate owned software to use but I suppose life is full of jokes.
There is no reason to think Google is not aware of EU laws.

One such law for example forbids fake reviews.

Google creates profiles for small businesses, invites everyone to anonymously say whatever they want about business and rate it.

Then they list advertisement from competitors next to it.

Their solution for the public shaming contest is that you should send more 
customers
 people to google to review your business and of course purchase adds.

The law says that if you want to do reviews of any kind you must be able to prove the review is from someone who purchased a product or service. The fines are in % of global revenue. Google could have some legal talking point if they allowed business to disable it.

Is it really a problem? Failing harder and earlier is a good thing if it means the bug has more chances of being detected and fixed.

(Shameless plug) – founder of https://www.cortex.io (YC W20) here! We build an off-the-shelf developer portal.

> Firstly they aren't inherent. Losses can be minimized

“Can be minimized” and “Inherent” are not antonyms. It can be both. And yes, I care.

> some of this waste comes from incandescent light bulbs that waste 90% of electricity as heat. Again, logically you should be "horrified" by this

I am. Every reasonable human being would look at incandescent light bulbs and say “yes, those are wasteful”. Because a reasonable alternative exists, and if you’re still burning incandescent light bulbs, you’re being wasteful.

PoW cryptocurrency however, is a system that is designed to be wasteful, and if the crypto bros had their way, we’d do all transactions this way. When an obvious alternative exists: Don’t fucking use cryptocurrency. Crypto solves zero problems, has zero benefits, and wastes electricity. The faster we abandon it, the better for literally everyone.

I don't think the Earth is structurally sound enough for that to work, at least if you're hoping to make any kind of a hollow shell.

If the goal is just to preferentially remove the dense stuff first, that would likely work. You'd still destroy every part of the biosphere though. The crust bits shifting into place as you remove everything below them would be catastrophic, off the scale earthquakes everywhere and extreme heating and volcanic activity.
The story as I know it:

Three soldiers wander into a town and watch as the townspeople shutter themselves into their homes.

The first two soldiers, out of rations, start to knock on doors and asking if anyone has any food, but no one answers.
The third says: "I have an idea, start a cooking fire in the town square and get some water boiling. I've got to find the right ingredient."

They do as they were told, and the third makes a show of trying to find just the right stone. Making sure the town hears and sees them. They bring the "perfect" stone back, and place it in the pot of boiling water.
The other two soldiers start to question, but the third tells them to just shut up and watch.

After boiling a stone for 10 to 15 minutes, one of the villagers comes out to ask what the soldiers are doing. "Making stone soup." replies the soldier, "Though it is usually better with some potatoes or carrots."

The villager lights up, "I have carrots!" They run to their home, come back with a handful of carrots, and add them to the soup.
Seeing this, other villagers begin to emerge from their homes, and each suggesting a new ingredient.

Over and over this happens until someone tries to put raw salmon in and is thrown out of the town.
I mean, until they have a full and hardy stew going, with more than enough to feed the entire town.

The morale of the story being to always have enough rations.
So you believe Google made more than $4B with their Android licensing practices in the EU?

I think that is unlikely, and I think it is likely we will see Google change the illegal licensing.

I am more than happy to see a Google exec get charged for a crime if you can prove beyond a reasonable doubt that they committed that crime.
Well you've got to come up with something specific.

Personally I think it's a black hole. There's nothing I find more anerotic than the culture around BDSM that seems to substitute an ever-expanding vocabulary for talking about sex for sex.

The LGBT...{lots of letters}...YZ+ term is also getting fraught, I am not sure if they are going to add "P" for pedophile and "I" for incel first or if they are going to need more than 26 letters in the alphabet like

As the answer to the tweet says:

- it was born 30 years ago in a different time and carry the weight of those decisions and legacy

- it only got serious focus and investments the last decade, while alternative got 100 times more

It never was in a situation to have success by default, it gained market share because it was good.

I would think this would have limited usefulness for most web applications as the latest trend for web apps is to think of the deployed code as ephemeral, and local files are not something devs often rely on. I guess if you're mounting block storage or some other virtual file system that would be another thing. For non-web applications, this could be a simplistic replacement for what people often use sqlite for. The readme doesn't talk much about concurrent access to the store other than the transactions, so concurrent operations may also be a limitation.

The transformer on the pole delivers 240V rms center tapped, with the center tap being connected to ground at the pole. The center tap wire is actually uninsulated, and the two hots are wrapped around it for support. The center tap is connected to the neutral bus at the breaker panel.

Half the breakers are connected to one hot, and half are connected to the other hot. For 120V you wire hot/neutral to the receptacle, while for 240V you wire hot/hot. (Plus ground, of course.)

In the EU, receptacles are wired hot/hot, and there is no neutral conductor.

If you can do it without machine learning, then OpenCV and Python is the easiest way to go. Example of finding an object in a known reference image ("needle") in another target image ("haystack") with OpenCV:
https://docs.opencv.org/3.4/d1/de0/tutorial_py_feature_homog...

If you need something a little more complex or that can recognize a wider variety of object variations within a single class, then you might like to experiment with something like Teachable Machines to see how you can train your own machine learning model. You can then export and download this trained model and run it locally with something like Python or Javascript on your own computer:
https://teachablemachine.withgoogle.com/

Use that site to capture images from your web camera to find examples of each class of object and see if this tool can work for you.

Please share your reasoning - as the sibling comment mentions, there was a series of high profile online cash cases at the time, KYC being the biggest problem. It'd be weird if they didn't think hard about avoiding the same fate and perhaps this was they way they've chosen.
I think facebook's main "revolution" is that it was the first internet as real society platform. Others were websites to make profiles, myspace added artists, but facebook was all about the "real you".

It was just ripe for when internet became a plausible soil for society.

haha, very funny. I think you are 100% correct if we invert every statement you made. Out of curiosity, how would you implemnt this "policy" that it wouldn't be "implemented poorly"?

As for being corrupt and anti-EU, I have to say in recent decade at least there has been no other group of politicians more incompetent, corrupt and anti-EU over the EU commision itself. From the botched/corrupt "green new deal" that resulted in complete dependency on Russian hydrocarbons and resulted in another war in Europe, through the "pay Turkey for the problem to go away" mediterran refugee "solution", to complete ineptitude at the first 6 months of the pandemic and basically leaving Italy on its own, culminating in illegal witholding of funds to member states that elected parties opposed to the current option in Brussels.

However, what truly destroys EU is not even the above, but the lack of respect for the rule of law amongst the top officials. They have their goals and no matter what, they will do anything to reach them. For example they want more integration and a federal state. They proposed it fairly some years ago as an EU-Constitution and it was demolished in referendums. Instead of giving up, hearing the democratic choice and going the direction the sovereign(the people) told them to they then proceeded to implement it another way over people's heads(It was supposed to be implemented in the treaty od Lisbon). However, those treaties have to be unanimous, and some countries didn't want to essentially be ruled by the biggest countries so it got watered down back then. Then they realised it is impossible to implement this goal in accordance with the rule of law, so what they are trying to do now is twofold. First, throw out unanimous voting in favor of majority vote so smaller country objections can be disregarded. Second, bully countries that disagree by illegal witholding of funds.

We're very near the end of the EU, and it does make me sad because I still believe in the ideas that led to it in the first place: free market for goods, travel and work, shared values and work towards common goals between member states - not bully eachother or sell other member's state's security for financial gain.

At least in my generation 10 years ago I would think 95% people would consider themselves very pro-EU, now, unless the current political class GTFO promptly I don't see EU being a thing in next 10 years.
It's not very productive in a conversation to just keep telling everyone that disagrees with you to do their homework. Why not provide some points to actually look up?
If you can only have one I would vote for forums, since they're flexible enough to handle a lot of chat and even wiki use cases. But I think realtime comms are different enough that it's worth having a dedicated chat app.
There's some interesting thought experiments around this:

1. You do the same thing but don't use "getty" in the prompt.

2. You do the same thing with "getty" in the prompt on a model NOT trained with Getty images

3. You ask a human photographer to do the same thing and you show him a Getty image

4. You ask a human photographer to do the same thing but without showing him a Getty image (but he's presumably seen many in the past).

If 1 and 2 produce images that are also similar to a Getty image, where do we stand? I imagine it's likely that a trained model can learn "getty-like" without any actual Getty images to make 2 happen.

And currently IP law treats humans and AIs the same (in the sense that infringment rules don't distinguish between them) so would you consider 3 and 4 to be similar to 1 and 2?
There are ongoing efforts to enable digital signatures of online media. The idea is that you (or your browser) can validate that an image or video is unmodified from the source that produced it.

> Here we find one who lacks the strength to do even this.

Picturing me as someone who "lacks the strength" "to exert his own will toward a spiritual value higher than that of mere vermin" is offensive.

Ok, I don't think commenting about "cockroach well being" on this thread was a good idea on my part. I want to make myself clearer: I have no problem with killing them, not even (actually specially) for scientific or pest control purposes. Summarily killing them is exactly what I do when they appear around me.

What I won't do (and find ethically or morally questionable besides cruel) is to play with them while inflicting pain. They have nerves and neurons and they surely feel pain. The kit I linked, sold as a toy, is pure animal cruelty. No matter if it tortures a cockroach or a dog.

FWIW, it would be great if you had a breakdown of the TCO. The price is at a point where many orgs would have some suit decide "we have a DevOps guy, we'll just run Backstage ourselves and save $27K/yr". I think it's worth the money but you need to show the suits where that money is going, what kind of value they're getting from having you run it, and consider the risks (what if it gets compromised, goes down, etc). Also, I don't see SSO mentioned; you really want to mention that, it's pretty important for enterprise.

Personally I can't stand Wheaton's narration. He's an incredible presenter in video content but when he's doing narration he always does this voice that just drips arrogance.
It's super unclear to me why Dolby keeps being the ones to do basic things. What is underneath the marketting gloss? It feels like we are all paying a lot for high bit depth, paying a lot for multi-channel audio.

I have never understood how or why it is that expensive proprietary codecs keep taking over. Maybe there is more value add somewhere, but it's very unclear, esepcially under the gloss of (usually deeply non technical) marketting fluff.
I think Google's commitment to core technologies bucks this trend. Go has been long-lived and received lots of love. AV1/VP8/etc have been evolved and they've continued putting money into them.

You obviously have not read Weston Price's book.

If you did you would never wrote a comment like that.

Cavities are not permanent and they heal, read the book.

You obviously "missed" the point where I explicitly wrote above that "if you keep eating the modern food they will never heal".

You are also conflating "worn down teeth" vs "cavities which cause infection". These are totaly different things. You can have heavily worn down teeth but ZERO infection.

Also you wrote: "The comment about "crossbread/gmo-ed" is another tell.".

Really? Is it? Do you not know that gluten strength was greatly increased already in the last ~150 years in wheat because it was bread to withstand higher wind speeds so that it can be grown in windy locations? And how do you make wheat sustain higher winds? By making it's "bones" stronger. And what are the "bones" of wheat? Gluten!

The gluten in modern wheat is much stronger than the gluten of the wheat people ate ~200 years.

So the wheat we eat is already much different than it was 200 years ago.

So much for the "crossbread/gmo tell" lol. Do some research first, it's not that hard.
This is an accurate description of my thought processes at the time.
This poses an interesting question: if the government mandates a company to collect data, are they exempt from this? What's stopping them from using that data for commerical purposes?
Oh, haha. Thanks.
No, you've assumed the question. "Applications are much harder to cache and start up fast" because you're defining "applications" to intentionally exclude architectures which are cachable and fast to start.

If I shipped a git repo viewer as an executable, nobody would be asking why it's not rather a txt/doc/PDF. It's unquestionably an application, not a document.

This is amazing. It's truly bizarre that 5.1 surround sound, or HDR, or spatial audio, would be proprietary paid formats -- I mean, what if someone told you there was a license for stereo audio?

And sure it's in Google's self-interest so that they can bring these technologies to YouTube without paying anyone else. But it benefits everybody, so this is really fantastic news for everyone if it's something that takes off.
That subfoldering made me miss a lot of important stuff too. I turned it off when I realized what I wasn’t seeing.

> “The more I learn, the more amazing I find them,” said Theunis Piersma, a professor of global flyway ecology. “They are a total evolutionary success.”

Amazing animals indeed, but the latter is a strangely unscientific thing for any kind of biologist to be quoted saying.

I wonder if this is one of those journo-quotes:

Journo: "Would you say these birds are a total evolutionary success?"

Biologist: "Well, I wouldn't put it like that, but yes, they show an incredible adaptation ... <etc>"

Journo: "Got it. Total evolutionary success."
According to the modern meaning of art, as long as the artist intends for it to be art then it is art. Since it is not the work itself but the artist that defines art then anything that was intended at least in part to evoke some emotional response is art. Therefore under this definition it is highly likely that Neanderthals made art. For example making a shelter look nicer than it had to be. Any rituals would also have to be considered art as they are ultimately intended to evoke an emotional response even if this was not a conscious decision.
Also, my understanding is that COPPA is actually pretty well-scoped to legitimately protecting children. I say this as someone who works on a product that is affected by COPPA.

They’ve received media training to do exactly that, to repeat their main talking points no matter what the interview questions are, and normal journalists are trained to ignore it and just move on to the next question, so it usually works for them both (but us listeners and readers are left with the situation you describe). Sometimes, though, the people asking the questions aren’t willing to ignore it, and if the interviewee does not catch on to this and adjust their answers accordingly, the interview can go disastrously wrong:
