    Problem is that personal resistance only goes so far. Only by raising public awareness and encouraging mass resistance can we really have an effect.

    Are we data mines or data factories? The choice of metaphor is important as it shapes how we respond to the power of Silcon Valley.

      I am a data factory (and so are you)

      1. Mines and Factories Am I a data mine, or am I a data factory? Is data extracted from me, or is data produced by me? Both metaphors are ugly, but the distinction between them is crucial. The meta…

    @thatbrickster Aside: There are some circumstances where you don't want to just abort on error for performance reasons. If you have a pipelined vector processor or similar, then for max. performance you want to keep on going, because of the large performance hit if you stop or branch elsewhere (pipeline stalls, context switch etc.). In any case, the error might not actually matter. So you just set an NaN or something and figure it out later. The old CDC mainframes used to do that. (Maybe not so relevant now but back in the day...)

    @thatbrickster  I guess it depends on what context the program runs in and what you want to achieve. If it's something that interacts with a user then a program that bombs out with a naked error code is a crock - the program should either retry or if there's user-generated state the program should try to fail gracefully (drop work done so far to disk then try to recover on restart). Then there's the Erlang approach if you have a real-time system and want high reliability. Many faults in such systems are often caused by transient events so the best thing to do is fail and get restarted. Might have saved the Ariane V.

    @thatbrickster KDE is still my desktop of choice if I want a desktop environment rather than a no-frills window manager. We've come a long way since Sun Stools (SunView) and TWM.

    Amazon Echo Dot for kids?

    I got an e-mail from Mozilla to put pressure on Amazon to say what they do with the data they collect from children.

    How about educating parents as to why the original Dot is a bad idea, and why this is even worse. These children are defenseless in a #surveillance society without the help of their guardians---having every aspect of their being dissected and analyzed before they even know what is happening or that they should care. By the time they have grown and maybe _do_ care, it is already far too late; they are already compromised. Most of the things learned about children won't change into adulthood. And further, Amazon will help to shape what these children become based on how they interact with Alexa, whether they intend to or not.

    @lnxw48a1 I understood the economy was in a mess even before Maria, largely due to expired federal regulations relating to tax breaks. And without representation in Congress...

    @lnxw48a1 How's the situation in PR at the moment? Heard just the other day that finds for rebuilding are not really forthcoming for many people, especially properties without proper permits, power still not fully restored and hurricane season approaching.

    @lnxw48a1 Given the large temperature swings and strange weather recently it's not surprising. Stay safe out there!

    First Russia then Iran blocks Telegram. Telegram isn't a very good app anyway. It has questionable crypto and a closed source server doing who knows what. But government censorship isn't the way to deal with it.

    Although I like XMPP, and Conversations is pretty good these days with default end-to-end encryption, I reckon that the future of messaging apps has to be peer to peer. That's the only way to stop bogus bureaucrats trying to prevent people from communicating. A government which fears people chatting is a pretty good indicator of its lack of legitimacy.

    @bob Ever since their formation the alphabet agencies have been plagued by rivalries - the intelligence community seems sometimes as riven internally as Microsoft. However, when heads are banged together they can co-operate. Don't have any concrete proof that Tor has been compromised, but just saying it's best to be wary and look for diversity - in any case, monoculture has always bad for resilience.
