> Would it have been better if they had these conversations in person

Probably because they weren't in the same room? Same building? Same state? Same country? The value of chat is that it's a very lightweight conversation; especially in a distributed team. It's also a good way to start a conversation with someone if they might be concentrating and need a few minutes to put down what they're doing. Either way, I would assume that in-person communication was impractical.

(Granted, I can see the need for "history off." Perhaps you need to discuss a personal matter, like an inappropriate advance of another co worker.)

> Not saying what they did is ethical but why would anyone have an expectation of forthrightness here?

Many people have different values than me.

Personally, whenever I communicate through any electronic means I assume that whatever I say might be recorded and used against me. It basically makes it hard to do crime; and I really don't want my employer to do crime; and I am not a criminal or politically persecuted.

I think the fact that much of our workplace day-to-day communication is recorded may expose that some people treat these matters different than you and I.

Heh, well aware. The MADA and AFA are insane reads, especially when you realize they apply to over half the mobile phones on the planet. It's one of those things they keep confidential not because they have any real trade secrets, but because they're flagrantly illegal and they want to keep government officials from seeing them.
Apple doesn’t charge, I do not know about Google. No source handy.

That’s what make the decision more galling: free wasn’t good enough, we demand recurring revenue!
It's funnier when you realize that this is happening because no one knows how to talk on the phone anymore.
Wow, that's not just "hey let's be careful", it's "hey, screw all that legal hold stuff, lol!"

What kind of legal guidance were these people getting? When I worked at a big corp, we had regular meetings with legal that were reminders of how to treat sensitive subjects and it was taken very seriously.

>Now I’m imagining tech executives having meetings in the bathroom with all the faucets going full blast whispering like the mafia dons of old.

I suppose. Although, I'd think it'd be more like out in the parking lot, in a car or an exec's private office.

But I do have to say your vision is definitely an amusing one. But I'd have a flunky or two handy to flush the toilets every minute or so too. :)
> If you dare to drive a small car in the US, you are treated like a second-class citizen. It’s bizarre, it’s weird, and it’s uniquely an American phenomenon.

Try using a bike as your primary mode of transit and get back to me on feeling like a second-class citizen. I can argue about poor bike infrastructure all day, but I'm just talking about the behavior of motor vehicle drivers here. So many can't just be content to pass me regardless of whether I'm in the bike gutter or taking a lane (I avoid this where possible, but if a bike lane is unavailable/not safe, or I need to make a turn I will assert my right to be in the mix with auto traffic), and insist on rolling down their windows just to hurl insults at me - even with my 10 year old daughter on the passenger seat behind me. Then the other half of the time they'll give me anywhere between 6-18" of clearance while passing me.

I don't really like generalizing people, but my experience and that of my wife seems to point to a rather common law: the larger the gap between curb weight of vehicles on the road, the more likely the operator of the heavier vehicle will be an aggressive dick towards the lighter one. Pedestrians? Unless you're in something with a ride height lower than 20" chances are you don't even notice them until they're under your tires.
Normally a document (chat) deletion schedule is completely fine and standard practice at most corporations. The problem is that it continued (without exception for those with data retention holds) once litigation had started.

TBD whether using OTR exclusively (like having in-person real time meetings) for all chats would violate this. I guessing no, it's the choice to use OTR selectively by participants that causes problems.
Owning a handful of shares does capture a significant amount of the beta for a market.

However with very significant profitability outliers, such as power law distributions, then you have to own all the shares to ensure you don’t miss out on the one or two shares that make up most of the gains. Venture capitalists talk about this a lot.

Historically the same issue occurred with market timing: most market gains are made during only a few relatively short unpredictable periods. You need to own shares for a long time to ensure you are in the market when those few unpredictable ups occur.
This awesome. Anyone ever tried this? I might have to give it a whirl… for science. I won’t tell my wife how it was made until she’s finished the meal and unloading the dishwasher.

What do you mean by actively discourage? There are many interpreter and REPL apps, there are swift playgrounds, etc, and there is nothing stopping you from submitting yet another programming app to the AppStore.
It would be difficult just to target FAANGs. If the law changed to include them, it would probably include everyone else as well. They aren't in any activity that is regulated by a special agency like banks/traders are.
That makes no sense. Why is trading via Zoom impossible, voice maybe, and text mandatory?
Please report back your findings, including the wife reaction (the most important part).
True. It's a false idea that privatisation improves anything. Most private good and services are better because of competition, not because of the ownership.

If privatisation means opening up a line of business to all comers, it's good. When it means a limited number of suppliers chosen by an authority, it's almost always worse.

It's not "expected" (or "legal") anywhere. That's my point. Family annihilators exist globally and we imagine other societies approve of them.
All of the parties involved need to be sanctioned. The employees following the bad instruction and the lawyers issuing the instruction. Violating a court order at the instruction of your employer's lawyer doesn't give you a free pass. Remember: they are the company's lawyer, not the employees'. But, the lawyers definitely need to be hit and hard. Not sure if disbarring is an option here, but should be on the tablem

He doesn't name names. It's just "the woke left." I'm pretty left, and I have a big problem with China's treatment of the Uyghurs. I don't buy that this piece, or its author, is serious.
Because that's a terrible way to interact with computers for 99% of applications.

Now the market is so big, we have enough customers to justify a polished, easy to use, featureful app for every task.

And people want security, meaning we need lots and lots of boilerplate to deal with all the permissioned APIs, plus we want reliability, so we can't just let people peek and poke. If we let people do that the app store would fill up with apps that used it, and half of them would be unreliable, and stuff would suck.

In fact, if there was a prompt at all, hackers could trick people into typing evil commands like they do to Linux newbies. Then those of us with tech experience would have to deal with it.

Much better to offer equivalent capability in a way that doesn't have an easy to exploit hole on the human side.

Smartphones DO encourage programming. There's like a million apps. They don't need a basic prompt, they just need to be there and really capable and make people feel its worth learning to develop for them.

There are various sandboxed easy to use dev apps on Android for those who want to do old school 80s BASIC stuff. And it's a pretty cool thing, but it's best kept where it belongs, in an app, not conflicting with the primary use case of the phone.

I do wish Google would support Flutter a little better and make stuff easier so we didn't need buggy third party libs though.
Same. My girlfriend has been battling being signed into Apple TV+, and Settings> Passwords & Security won't load on our phones.
Forgive me if I'm incorrect, but doesn't a user space implementation mean it does not understand to reset momentum between window focus events? So if I scroll like crazy in app1 then Alt-Tab to app2, scrolling carries to app2?
As one of the strongest European economies and militaries, Germany played a big part in Russia's calculations.

The belief that Germany would rather sacrifice Ukraine than lose Russian gas would have been less plausible if 30% nuclear energy had been retained.
"Almost 10 years ago" was before Slack launched :-) We're you on AOL IM?
Is rather think it's the opposite, it's almost definitely proven that it is not - it is obviously completely transformative.
I make no promises? You guys should consider whether or not your rules end up cutting out what actually might be useful/interesting conversations, even if they're a little spicier that you might like.
I understand fully that you have made the point that property owners and event organizers are perfectly able to set limits on gun possession, and I agree with this statement.

However, I don't see how the right of physical property owners to set limits on the use of their property restricts the rights of IP owners to set limits on the use of their property. You haven't made the connection between the two. If you feel you've made that point clearly, I'm sorry, but I'm not following your logic. You'll have to reframe your argument instead of simply repeating it. I'm not picking up what you're putting down.

> Those things are all equally out of scope of a trademark copyright document.

This is where we disagree. I think it is squarely within the scope of trademark law, as long as it complies with the First Amendment, including fair use. That's what "ownership" means.

If anyone were allowed to use any mark they want at any event they want, and the rights holder has no say over that, then what "rights" do they actually have? What does trademark actually mean?

Let's take a hypothetical situation. Suppose you wanted to host a conference about all things Disney. You brand your conference with Disney logos, Disney word marks, and Disney characters. You advertise the event and charge money to attend.

However, this Disney conference is also a satanic blood orgy.

Does Disney have the right to restrict the conference from using their logo? Satanic blood orgies are allowed, the venue has okayed it, and it's allowed in the state. The satanic blood orgy aspect is legal and allowed.

Doesn't Disney still have the right to send a cease-and-desist letter to the conference?

If they don't, can you please explain how trademarks work in your worldview?

Furthermore, if what you say is true, then what is the legal basis for all of these artists restricting at which events their songs can be played:

https://www.forbes.com/sites/andrewsolender/2020/06/28/all-t...

It seems to me that a trademark, such as the Rust logo, should have more protection than a copyright of a song. So why can't Rust restrict the use of its logo based on the character of a gathering, while musicians can restrict the playing of their songs based on the character of those gatherings in the linked article?

How do air traffic controllers understand what’s being said with all the static?
Why does everyone just assume that the software Google/Slack/other video/chat platforms use actually respect any of those settings? For all we know they simply mark this data as "deleted" and the GUI won't show it to you.

In the USA there is practically no recourse users have if SAAS/PAAS simply decides to keep this data and not tell you about it. Google won't be investigated or punished, and you'll never get anyone on the phone to yell at about it. Taking them to court is like throwing money into a well. The truth is, if they decide to do it in secret you'd probably never even find out about it.

Google is large enough to design its own hardware/firmware. They could probably implement this without many of their own internal teams being aware of it.
>You just can't play chess like that

You most definitely can, it'd just take more time since you have to rediscover a lot of things that could be given to you as advice.

>I play against computer

Don't play against the computer if you're a beginner and want to improve, bots play in an exotic way and that won't help you.

>I have 0 time I can invest into learning the moves

I don't spend time learning opening theory either (I am just 1800 on Lichess), I just play and use the engine to see where I screwed up and what was the better move (I advise you to use Lichess (https://lichess.org/) over chess.com because open source + don't have to pay for engine analysis and puzzles). Talking about puzzles, play a lot of them, they'll train you to spot tactics.
Finally, don't forget to have fun :)
Why did you need to create your own algorithm? And how much time did it take?
It’s possible to build a cache without any insight, but to make a cache that works well in a given domain requires knowledge from outside the world of caching itself. The same is true of summarization and compression.
We'll never know, but it doesn't seem fair to chalk up a country's poor democratic choices to external forces.

Russia surely nudged, but if Germany hadn't already been trending in that direction then it wouldn't have stuck.
Most communication isn’t recorded? I suspect that’s not accurate.

Mail, messages, chat, ticketing systems…phone calls are definitely an outlier in my world. Even face to face is rare.
That’s not at all how realistic migration from one to another job works. Be honest and remind yourself, these are humans. Not corporations.

There is no “other” employment when, in certain areas, every job at this “level” is like this or when this ai pattern/formula expands to other arenas.
They do have security in Canadian bus terminals who search you. And also in UK ferry terminals when going to Ireland.
thankfully TSA can only take your liquids and not your solids at the checkpoint, so you can theoretically buy/make a sandwich before you go to the airport.
Assuming that the drive is actually working now and you don't worry too much about losing the data: step 0 - Make a copy of the drive at block level. Do not mount it, do not try to fsck. Basically copy /dev/that-drive to some file, then work on a copy of that instead of the original.

Also check what SMART attributes on the drive say - it will help confirm that the drive isn't broken in other ways.

I don't know of a good resource documenting what to follow from there, but make sure you don't touch the original in any way so you can always go back.

Otherwise, look at bits separately - those are documented in various blogs - how to analyse the partitions, how to recover the filesystem, how to find binary files without the filesystem structure. Projects for reverse engineering like binwalk may also be useful here.
These days, sous vide is a much better alternative than the dishwasher, but is fundamentally the same concept.

Wow. Just wow.

I was the 2nd employee at Amazon. For the last 23 years, I've been the lead developer of Ardour, a cross-platform DAW. I also wrote JACK, the only cross-platform inter-application audio/MIDI routing system, but since that's a system that doesn't require a GUI, it's not really relevant. It did win me an award in the early 2000s though.

What you're describing sounds to me like a process out of 1980s "application development" blended with web stuff blended with contemporary "rapid application development" aka "define the GUI with a GUI tool, and it automatically generates code".

Ardour has a fully MVC architecture, with a backend that knows nothing about any of the multiple frontends that can exist for it (GUI, MIDI, OSC/UDP, OSC/WebSocket). We do not use RAD tools, there is no generated code.

I asked you a simple question about what the code looks like in an Adobe or Microsoft app that runs on two platforms, the code that opens a dialog to collect information from the user. Nothing in my question makes any reference to tbe backend. All I can guess is that you think that all GUIs are defined via RAD-ish tools. All I can do is to try to use your language: what is it that a front-end developer is doing when they "define views that are shown when the menu item is selected" ?

Hard cheese has always given me problems. The density matches that of a solid explosive like C4 on their x-ray. So I always plan for a secondary screening with a full unpacking and swab down of my bag if I’m bringing back a block of special cheese.
That’s just a Windows computer. They’re well reviewed, but I’m not sure they’re very consumer focused. I know plenty of business users use the too.

The Surface models with an ARM (can’t remember the name) were clearly more consumer aimed, but those flopped.

Really I meant more non-computer.

WebTV never set the world on fire (though it seems to have been more popular than most people realize). Zune was supposed to be pretty good, but initial marketing kind of killed it. And WMP wasn’t exactly loved software the way iTunes was. Remember when iTunes was great?

The Active Mates toys didn’t take off, though that’s not a surprise. Spot watches! And shoving Windows CE in the Dreamcast didn’t help.

I’m struggling to think of things MS has done outside of computers, peripherals, and the Xbox. There are probably tons, they’d try anything in the 90s.
And trading via WhatsApp is also possible. And also illegal

Executive summary by ChatGPT:

Germany will shut down its three remaining nuclear reactors by April 16, ending nuclear power generation in Europe's largest economy. Germany's move, which marks the end of a decades-long fight by environmentalists, makes it an outlier in much of the industrialised world, including Britain, France, Finland, and Poland, which are expanding their nuclear energy programs as part of their plans to reach ambitious climate targets. The decision comes at a time when Europe is grappling with the question of how to secure enough energy to drive its economies and keep homes warm while also reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Some scientists and Nobel Prize laureates from across the globe have urged Germany to reconsider its decision to phase out nuclear power, citing it as a valuable alternative to power plants spewing greenhouse gases. However, Robert Habeck, the economy minister, insists that Germany can manage the nuclear exit, stating that the country's energy system will be structured differently, relying on 80% renewable energies by 2030.

It was very bad.

It was bad that servers of a popular password manager with millions of users were compromised. The security controls were bad: a lastpass engineer had access to critical credentials in the same machine that he watches Plex open to internet (and possibly more).

It was bad because a lot of users don’t have strong master passwords, and their vaults are at risk. Also, insufficient pbkdf2 iterations did not protect well against brute forcing the vault. Sure users should use strong master passwords as much as possible. But a weak password would not have been a problem if the servers had not been compromised.

It was bad because a lot metadata has been leaked, that can be useful in further attacks.

A compromised server could also push a malicious update to the users and steals master passwords.
Is this to fine tune on the one of the 4 that people pick? What if you want to just zoom in but prefer the other one?
Science consists of predictions based on measurements of our perception as mediated by our senses or tools that augment them. Dualism (or idealism for that matter) doesn't require religious beliefs. You can arrive at them analytically. Science is great for explaining the conventional reality of things as they appear though. But until I read a convincing explanation for consciousness and subjective experience that doesn't reduce to "neural correlates" I can't get on board with physicalism.

The fact that we're not all unconscious automatons that just evolved from one long cause-effect chain stemming from the big bang to now continues to bewilder me. "Mind" may play an "of the gaps" game here but it's the only reasonable explanation that currently makes some semblance of sense to me.

So currently I agree with the religious on your last point. Machines or AI cannot be conscious. Maybe if they were infused with some sort of biological material though I would say maybe. If our subjective experience is a localization of a thing called "consciousness" and certain forms (humans, animals) localize it to produce a sense of self then why not.
Hypothetically, we could base it on revenue.
