matz1··on Accessibility is the hardest thing for me about making things for the web
More likely developer will stick around longer because they don't have to do annoying work.

Likewise imagine living in a world where you are forced to do work where its not economically worth it, thats really sucks.
matz1··on Companies excluding Coloradans from remote jobs to avoid sharing salary ranges
Competition doesn't necessarily have anything to do with the amount of information. https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/competition
matz1··on Face masks effectively limit the probability of SARS-CoV-2 transmission
Not only that, there is one more thing to carry when you go out and impairment of social interaction because of lack of facial expression.
matz1··on Face masks effectively limit the probability of SARS-CoV-2 transmission
The problem is wearing mask is annoying and uncomfortable. If I have to choose, I'll choose the increased risk of covid all the time rather than wearing mask.
matz1··on Neural implant lets paralyzed person type by imagining writing
I think so and it probably will require some skills to fully utilize it where kids in the future will start learning to use it from the early age.

I image this is how I probably will become 'obsolete' in regards of technology just like my parent can't catch up with todays technology.

matz1··on Ransomware gang threatens release of Washington D.C. police records
>Having an affair is always going to be something people prefer to keep secret

My point is it doesn't have to. Ask what is it that makes people prefer to keep secret then fix that instead.

Not saying its going to be easy but at least we should spend the effort on fixing that, instead of spending the effort on hiding the information.

>society will still have its own opinions.

So we need to spend the effort on minimizing the misery caused by that

>you can’t be blackmailed for doing weed if nobody cares you did weed

This is imo the most feasible/pragmatic approach for privacy issue.

Instead fixing it by hiding the information, we should fix the actual issue that cause misery when the information is public.

matz1··on TikTok launching jobs service for Gen Z
um most people, including me, like to see beautiful people. It make sense to suppress post by the ugly.

Every hiring is a discrimination in some way.
matz1··on A whale who tried to mimic human speech (2014)
I can only speak for myself. I don't eat dog/monkey i think it because my upbringing/culture thus it create disgusting feeling in my brain.

I have no problem with pigs because I've used to it since childhood and i find it delicious. It has nothing to do with it being intelligent/emotional.

matz1··on A whale who tried to mimic human speech (2014)
I wouldn't, like I wouldn't eat dog/monkey even though its socially acceptable in certain place, in my mind its disgusting. Pig on the other hand its delicious.
matz1··on Over the next year or so, Google will try out new office designs
Not everyone want that, if I need my own private space I don't need to go to office.

The reason I may want to go to office is to see my coworkers.

Doors/private cubicle defeat the purpose.

matz1··on A whale who tried to mimic human speech (2014)
Not sure why my morality has to change, doesn't matter if pig turn out to have conscious experience like mine, I will still eat it.
matz1··on My experience with sexual harassment in the Scala community
>there's already legal ways to deal with it

suing can cost money, time, effort, and may not able to necessarily clear your name even if you won.

matz1··on My experience with sexual harassment in the Scala community
What are you going to do ? Just believe it ?

> Imagine a letter like this targeted at you one day, except unlike Mr. Pretty, you are innocent.

You already assume he is guilty ?

matz1··on Google have declared Droidscript is malware
What value to add to criticize this specific case?

Whether they use "unable" or "choose not too" shouldn't matter.

Just treat it the same.

matz1··on Subsidiary of Toyota to acquire Lyft’s self-driving car division
Hell, I would happy if self driving cars only kills 1.5 (slightly more) million people each car.

>What does training look like?

The same way how human learn/train.

Observe how most people behave then imitate.

matz1··on And the winner is…who cares?
This is why travel restrictions or “essential workers" designation are ridiculous.

It doesn't help, only mostly cause misery.

matz1··on Tesla admits its Full Self-Driving technology is a Level 2 system
Its not deceptive/contradictory, technically, close to level 5 can be level 2.
matz1··on Tesla admits its Full Self-Driving technology is a Level 2 system
I disagree that its deceptive. Technically yes the car can drive itself albeit not perfect. Tesla never claim it can drive perfectly either.
matz1··on Tesla admits its Full Self-Driving technology is a Level 2 system
Car company can't do that because there are law to prevent that.

What law tesla broke in this case?

matz1··on Tesla admits its Full Self-Driving technology is a Level 2 system
To create believe is basically the goal of every marketing campaign of any kind. Thats expected and reasonable.
matz1··on Tesla admits its Full Self-Driving technology is a Level 2 system
>You can't tell someone their car has full self driving capabilities and then expect them to listen when you tell them that they also have to be paying attention 100% of the time

So its Tesla fault if people doesn't listen?

matz1··on Trying to open an S.F. ice cream shop, was no match for city bureaucracy
To me even 90 days is insane, at least in Indonesia, you could open an ice cream shop tomorrow in your own house if you would like
matz1··on Forced unemployment and second-class status: Google's data center contractors
>Are you also actively working with other people/companies who might hire those same people to put caps on what they might get paid, or indeed to negotiate hiring them at all? Google/apple/etc have enormous sway in some areas re: hiring/referrals/etc, and engaged in 'antipoaching' stuff that prevented free movement of labor (imo).

If I have the ability/resource to do that and if the total cost is less then of course.

matz1··on Forced unemployment and second-class status: Google's data center contractors
I can easily afford to pay my mechanic twice the money. Of course just like google, I don't want to.
matz1··on Two people killed in fiery Tesla crash with no one driving
To make driving more relaxing.

Instead of actively driving you switch to be a driving supervisor instead.

Think about it as a really advance cruise control.

Autopilot doesn't mean it won't crash, thats absurd.
