Best example of Market-ganda ever, marketers protecting their own. 6 names for the same idea - manipulating others for self-gain.

China will not be able to shoot down satellites just to stop video feeds escaping. Its an act of war. Also the USA will surely have capabilities to resist such attacks, and it only takes 1 stream to get through.

Democracy/free-enterprise need only hold its nerve, and it will win. Not for some moral reason, but simply because the overhead of maintaining a police-state is so much greater than a transparent society.

I gave been waiting #HotPrivilege or equivalent to become a trending hashtag since this whole privilege-acknowledging affair got started.

Yep, applying for a US visa now.

I wonder what the actual changes are, is someone in ICE stalking your FB looking for pro-Hillary memes or something? For anyone who actually needed a security clearance, they wouldn't need you to volunteer it.

With issues like climate change its also easy to point the finger at government or big business, aka someone else. Veganism shnes a light on the questionable morality of individuals, which most people cant handle so they react angrily.

All of the west is shaped by America's dominance. Without their influence I suspect many typically western countries would be far more tyranically run.

This is total submarine marketing by AWS. Im sure some very smart people with good intentions at AWS produced this, but the fact is they're not an independent academic providing objectively "the best" practices, they're a company trying to sell you something. They probably in full belief in their own abilities believe the AWS way of doing things is best, but frankly, I know as much as you do, or at least if you want to win me over you need to comprehensively prove it, not just preach from the hill.

TL:DR stop telling me you're doing better architectures in the same of selling me something

Yo dawg I heard you like job security, so we put a program in your program, now you you can render while you render

More seriously, I do understand the difference, but disagree with the whole approach in 95% of cases

SSR is the future? What has PHP been doing for 15+ years?

I imagine they still are, and the fact we dont really recognise it is a testament to their success.

My coworker owes me lunch, I said they would yank the Zoom app for breaking the app stores TOS (close enough hahaha). Apple cant be very happy with public companies breaking their platform, especially in the name of "UX", which is supposed to be (and is) their differentiator.

Their latest patch they rushed out is basically just implementing uninstall the way it should be.

In my case there isnt anything I didnt expect. Also closing the apps that were running e.g. RabbitMQ actually stopped the webservers.

The security flaw isnt even the outrageous part. It was secretly installing webservers that dont even remove themselves when you uninstall the app that makes them scum.

I uninstalled it via their new patch, but it doesnt remove all files. I think its just caches and logs left but who knows. If you want to purge this malware with fire you still need to follow the instructions at https://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/358651/unable-to-c...

Hes my direct report-to and has ears of everyone that matters, so its really just my decision of who to pester to get it up the chain.

Now go explain that to the folks in Marketing.

Well, the company and product are dead to me now, gonna hassle our CTO to switch. I just really hope theres some dev at Zoom who hated this whole installing backdoors idea who's gonna have the greatest "I told you so" day at the office tomorrow.

I work with Ruby and Elixir daily and Elixir is 10x faster. Phoenix recently added functionality to display response times in microseconds, partially as a showcase for its good performance. I dont doubt you can get more performance in C++ or something but its still lighting compared to Ruby.

One of my favourite subreddits is r/aboringdystopia (about how we live in a boring dystopian world) and one recent trending post was about Microsoft shutting down their ebooks business, which means booka bought there will all stop working due to DRM. That was the phrase in the meme - "Due to corporate budget cuts, on April 2 the books will stop working". Very dystopic.

Its 2019, there are great people with 10+ year careers who've never touched C, in school or work.

Where you see efficiency, a silicon valley MBA sees opportunity.

> one of the main functions of a nation-state is to put up defence against other nation-states

This is the synergystic existense between so-called leaders. They keep each-other in power, both using the threat of the other.

The US could give up their priviledged position in the anglosphere and give all of us who are currently just along for the ride (i.e. weaker weatern nations) a real shot at the democracy they so fervently sprout. I forsee more colsolidation along the lines of the EU where western powers officially come together to maintain their top status, but as a whole rather than individual nations. A situatiom which comes with its own benefits & issues...

It also explains that the training is basically done when the discriminator has a roughly 50% (random) ability to discern between real and fake.

What legislation? Specifically? What do you want to make law, that they have to hire moderators (which they already do?) or do you want to make it illegal to post "bad things" on the internet?

Somewhere we computing folk lost our way - nobody needs software just for the sake of it (with the exception of maybe games). Everything we do is supposed to be building tools for other people who do the real work to make their life easier. As opposed to how it currently is which is to provide something for free, then put up artificial barriers to certain parts of it and charge for their removal.

Damn, I sure hope nobody screenshots this or I wont be able to fly a plane into the Sydney Opera house like I'm planning to do next week.

I dont think we need the singularity for machines to take over. The systems that run society are bigger than any of us and nobody can hold every single one of them in their head. If some emergent property or bug cropped up, most people would keep doing what the computer says, because theyre a small fish and we do what the system tells us. Whos the master now?
