I loved that Dragonball Z game so much. Would love to play it again to see if it’s anything like I remember!

There are things to hate about AI besides the slop it outputs. To name a few: - The training set being mostly art made be real humans without their consent or compensation - The work that is taken away from skilled, talented musicians - The environmental impact of global AI deployments - The further consolidation of power in the hands of the very few who DO have a motive

AI being "fun" for kids who aren't able to grasp the negative externalities of using AI doesn't make it something to admire

Sure but these are low-risk bets for him personally. When they don't work out 8,000 folks pay the price and he is still one of the richest people on the planet who will never have to worry about money, food, housing, or healthcare.

At Netflix scale, there most certainly is a service discovery registry where each service registers itself. The registry can be used for other services to find out how to reach each service, what regions those services are deployed in, how many instances of each service there are, what operations that service supports, etc.

The author addresses that comment in an edit - seems like the commenter stretched the truth a bit. Manually cross-posting shouldn't be a suspendable/bannable offense

I've used this same approach as well. Testcontainers is a nice way to help with this!

Biggest benefit is that it's open source and free - for business use Docker Desktop is a paid service

Hmm not sure what you mean. The hashes are shipped with iOS, and then (if parental controls are enabled) compared with the hashes computed against the unencrypted data on-device, and displays a warning to the user and their parents.

I'm not sure how the image is displayed on the parents' device - it could be sent from the child's device, or the image used to compute the hash that the child's image matched could be displayed.

The hashes are computed from images that live in iCloud - how is this different?

No, they will host the hashes computed from those images.

I don't think so either - but the ones that are being punished aren't in that position because they're happy with or believe in department policies.

Seems counter-productive. "Hey you're clearly miserable and not doing your job properly, so we're gonna make sure that you spend more time on the job being miserable while doing it improperly".

This is an anecdote - plenty of firms are using Scala in their data engineering stacks and it's a great tool for the job.

While maybe not strictly necessary per se, it's a great way to get a foot in the door, and provides a great way to foster advanced type systems and functional programming (I personally find it to be a really fun language to write in to boot).

I'm in New Jersey which is pretty consistently and firmly blue. Hammered with ads from both sides.

My youtube experience has consisted of about 50% political ads for a while now - would be interesting to see some insights into their total share of the pie.

I'm hoping that this is a server-side bug and not by-design. I would be extremely disappointed to see a widely-used enterprise product by a company with such stature to be designed with such little forethought.

This wouldn't just require them to have your face and fingerprint though - This would require them to

1. Have access to your phone

2. Be able to spoof the phone's authentication mechanisms (whether that be fingerprint / face)

In this regard, it passes the 2FA test (something that you own, and something that you are).

While it's true that you can't really change your face or fingerprint, this facilitates moving away from the "password repeated across multiple accounts" landscape of insecurity.

How is this different from them calling up a known associate and asking them for my location?

Until there is real privacy enforcement here, and it's clear that location data is owned by the person being tracked and not some third party that happens to have their hands on it, I don't see this pattern going away.
