So the issue with laws is they are many types. Criminal, civil, statutory. Defining how the power grid works, what frequency it runs, what devices can be plugged into it so they don't explode is a set of codes/laws. If you violate those there are other sets of civil/criminal codes that can be used to remediate the situation.

And that's just one facet of our lives. In a low complexity society, especially ones with smaller populations there are typically fewer laws. As society grows, and especially as the populations begin to specialize formalized laws are a natural outcome. The farmer, the taylor, and the brickmaker all need common set of rules for expectation in things like trade and debt that get very hard to coordinate as population size grows.

Hi Chris, it's Cornel Masson . I was at the London office from 2002-2006, then 4 more years working remotely from South Africa.

I worked on all the Java infrastructure around the recognition cluster (the latter being handcrafted C and assembly, optimised for specific Intel hardware).

The thing that Shazam got right was not just the core recognition tech, but the business processes and supporting systems around it. I remember how much work Chris had to do to convince the 4 major mobile networks in the UK to give Shazam the same 2580 dialing code (the middle 4 buttons, top to bottom, on an early 2000s feature phone).

A major part of the business is the constant sourcing and ingestion of the latest music, in all target markets (think Afrikaans pop in South Africa), deals with pluggers and record labels, etc. Initially, the back catalog was ripped from CD by a huge team of people in a warehouse, on custom workstations.

> the market unfortunately favors the non-ethical ones

"The market favors" is just an corporate speak for "The customers favor", i.e. in this case "The customers unfortunately favor the non-ethical ones".
Retailers treat their customers like criminals and are surprised most of them don't come back! News at 11.

BTW, the convenience store near me has a massive shoplifting problem. The owners keep it understaffed. The thieves know the only working employee is stuck at the register so, in full view of cameras, customers, and the employee, will say hello to the cashier, take what they want, warm up some food, and walk right out! The only thing the cashier can do is mark the time and items down for the owner. Everyone knows what the solution is, yet the owners are unwilling to do it.
And we have them to thank for witches' hats!

"""
They wore the tall, pointy hats so that their customers could see them in the crowded marketplace. They transported their brew in cauldrons. And those who sold their beer out of stores had cats not as demon familiars, but to keep mice away from the grain. Some argue that iconography we associate with witches, from the pointy hat to the cauldron, originated from women working as master brewers.

What's interesting here is precisely that brewing beer was a domestic job (and therefore women's work), in a way that baking bread, for example, was not.

There's nothing preventing you from installing your own CAs in normal decices. There are some ultra locked down devices (often made by Microsoft, or made extremely cheaply to low standards) and I think that practice should be banned. That's not the case in the laptops and PCs I've come across, though.

Of course, managing your own CA is a pain, but because of Linux's design an externally manageable CA system isn't practical. I believe Fedora is quite close to releasing UKI kernels that will let you import Fedora's keys dor upstream kernels, but those will likely break the moment you need DKMS for proprietory or too-bad-for-upstream drivers.

And the Modern Age ended at the time of the Industrial Revolution.

Books are an understandable phenomenon. They were supposed to disappear before the stuff they describe stops being valid. But we have a nasty tendency of naming permanent things "modern".

But anyway, it reminds me on how if you want a real textbook that covers a math or physics subject with all the details, you need to get the one named "fundamentals of X". If you go and get the "advanced X", it has a superficial and incomplete description that won't help you with anything.

> so there's at least one frame of lag for every image

Well, 24 fps vs 120 fps would technically matter, to the point where at a high enough frame rate you could not possibly tell the difference; I suspect it's more like 48 fps (if it's a constant 48 fps) than 120 *
You generally don't structure it as having a webserver, you'd structure it as an app (you run a single app on the device, there's no separate OS involved) that can react to HTTP requests - i.e. my mental model is that you don't run a webserver on the device, but instead that the device becomes a webserver.

You can structure the on-device app as 'slaved' to the web requests, where it simply waits for requests in a loop and only does stuff in response to a request - for example, take a measurement from some sensors and send them back with some surrounding HTML.

Authentication/authorization is an issue, but it has all the same issues and solutions as webapps - login+session cookies; or whitelisting IP ranges; or TLS client certificates; etc.

I worked at a company where we split the interview up. 5 interviews (including HR screen). The 3 tech screens were just that - tech screens. You didn't go over the work history or work in a team. It was three 45 minute sessions with a developer where you were given leetcode questions to complete in the 45 minutes. Nothing else.

I was asked to do one for another team and during the meeting where we discussed if the prospective hire would get hired I got in trouble because I didn't copy and paste the candidates pseudo-do code into an IDE and see if it compiled. I never agreed to do one again.

How challenging is it to DIY your own lithium battery packs?
That solution won't let me encrypt my backups, I think.

Incidentally, Signal is another example of an impractical solution being pushed without consideration for practical requirements. Signal will LOSE ALL YOUR DATA if your phone (iOS) dies. There is no way to backup your chat history and images. It's been like that for years and we get silly features instead of this fundamental thing.

Yes, I know many people like it this way — you are in the minority, and there should be a configuration switch saying "do not backup my data". Most people do not expect that their entire history will be gone one day. Phones die, phones get stolen, and you expect you'll get your history and photos back when restoring from an (encrypted!) backup. Not so with Signal. So the next time you tell people to use Signal over WhatsApp, don't forget to tell them that Signal will lose everything one day, while WhatsApp will not.

Back to my original point: before anyone knocks "old obsolete" apps, consider carefully if the new shiny thing really does everything that the "old obsolete" app did, is it reliable, maintained, and will it stay around for 10+ years.

Does it matter?

The little I did competitive programming, input parsing time was negligible compared to the allowed runtime for solving the problem. Inputs were designed so that if you had the right algorithm, you could do it easily even with terrible optimization. Fast code could be an advantage in the algorithm (but not in parsing), as it could help you "cheat" and, for example, do a problem designed for N² in N³. Personally, I used iostreams, just because I found it a bit easier to type.

But then, different competition have different rules, and maybe there are some where fscanf really is an advantage.
As a thought experiment, I’m interested in people listing metadata that fits the legal definition and teasing out types that the public would probably not think is metadata.

I’ll start first off the top of my head:

- The (real) identity of you and every person you talk to

- The time of the messages

- The location they were sent from

- The specific device used to send them

- A sentiment analysis: were the messages positive? Negative? Depressed? Anxious? Sarcastic?

- A description of the pictures that were sent (for example by an on-device AI model)

- A transcript of any voice memos/videos

ADR is not forbidden. But it is regulated by 2013/11/EU [1]. In particular:

"
(43)

An agreement between a consumer and a trader to submit complaints to an ADR entity should not be binding on the consumer if it was concluded before the dispute has materialised and if it has the effect of depriving the consumer of his right to bring an action before the courts for the settlement of the dispute. Furthermore, in ADR procedures which aim at resolving the dispute by imposing a solution, the solution imposed should be binding on the parties only if they were informed of its binding nature in advance and specifically accepted this. Specific acceptance by the trader should not be required if national rules provide that such solutions are binding on traders."
