This paints a picture of the future that imo is kind of fatalistic and dystopian. I personally refuse to accept that this is the inevitable end state of our society and markets.

German here. If the way you are building a product requires you to risk the well being of your employees, which these laws are designed to protect, you and your product are not welcome here. Please build it somewhere else.

This reads like its a group advocating for exactly the wrong kind of deregulation that turns markets into basically unbreakable monopolys. The EU directly opposes the growth model of the new-era tech startups (ruthless growth financed by in

So what is your proposed solution? I'd rather have a sociopath that is upfront about being one to me than figuring that fact out by myself. Shunning those people from society seems like not an option to me, they are people after all. I

Parent did not say they should understand ML on a fundamental level. Reading the description in the comment should be enough for the author of the article to say "oh" and not write this article.

This does ignore the damage done to the free market though. Every job that a prison inmate takes up, is a job that could be taken by a non-criminal and which would pay for at least federal minimum wage. I'd call the difference of priso

With a specific exception: "(...) except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted". So it does still exist - but America only considers criminals for it. From what I've gathered, though, that

I actually like self-checkouts very much and use them every time they are available. The reason is very simple: They typically do not require any social interaction. I like to shop with music on my ears and generally am pretty deep inside m

It says in the article that the faces are swapped with those of actors. Are those something like film actors? Because that would actually be amazing, completely dodging the drawback several commenters here have mentioned that faces of innoc

Emphasis on > if left unchecked This obviously represents an error on how abuse is handled in these power structures. What baffles me the most, is that this list in particular is not only shared between staff or subordinates, but concern

I think with the scale requirements of YouTube, we can not assume that the search is powered by one single DB or any traditional, relational DB at all. Some things that are easy with one DB, get surprisingly hard when you scale up. Lets g

This is why the concept of "granular permissions" is so important on modern pcs, and I personally think linux is severely lacking in this regard. Flatpack et al. have improved this situation somewhat, but come with their own drawb

It's very much interesting how gamification tickles the monkey parts of the brains of me and even the smartest people I know. We even know it's "stupid" or "useless" and still strive to make the number go up. F

It seems to me that enabling string replacement with all lookups enabled by default would be a dangerous idea to begin with. Why would it be implemented that way? Having a replacement that is based on arbitrary scripts (!) seems especially

This is such an overly negative reaction it is frankly mind boggling. The UI is optional. It is literally an extension you can install separately. Nobody is taking anything from you. There is a place to criticise bloated and Ad-ridden web

Not sure if Bun has had an influence on this, these features must have been in development for a long time, but the timing surely is impeccable. npm compatibility is huge for Deno. It is basically the one major drawback to Deno, which get

It works, but the quality is noticeably reduced. Gaming (and using VoIP in e.g. CSGO) on this profile is practically unusable, the quality of sound is so diminished that it is very annoying.

The idea that really any state on this planet would recognize such a "state" as independent and would not treat it as a terrorist/criminal organisation is laughable and reeks of the typical tech-bro mindset that I have come

Companys have shown time and time again that they are not to be trusted. Especially Amazon has not been in the news so much because the working conditions are so good, remind you. It is in my opinion totally a legit view to first believe

Im not sure that the apolitical stance many people believe to hold is such an apolitical stance. In fact, living in any state and taking part in any kind of society is political in and of itself. You do not get to take part in any community

At work, we use MinIO as a replacement of the S3 Api on our CI servers since we dont want to call production APIs for integration testing. One of the challenges we had was "pre-filling" the MinIO server with testdata. Some tests r

There are several countries with strong unions and a tradition of unions taking part in company matters, a good example would be my place, Germany. I have never seen a union "screwing over" a company, but many times have I seen co

I think it was very clear what I was trying to say, and it was sincerly not calling for the eradication of people or whatever you are making out of it. Please stop being obtuse.
