As a customer of FCPEuro, I just want to say they are one of the nicest marketplaces to work with. Lifetime warranty is GOAT.


I also think it's a great place to work.

The company has been around for a while and stayed committed to the principals they started with.

We’re a small team, all fully-remote, optimizing for sustainability. We get a lot done without people working weekends and burning themselves out. :)


Same, FCP Euro is fantastic!


I find it amusing that someone would be closer to the CEO through six degrees of separation than through the levels of management.


Isn’t it on the people administering those systems to disable autofill on their side?


In theory it is. But for most customers (who are small) there's almost no IT department and the average computer literacy is lower than you might think (though improving) so the risk is there. Except for that situation I would happily leave them autofill/save password.


Given how often I remote into my iMac over a vpn that has both cellular and WiFi networks to deal with, none of these bothered me.


One of the Kroger stores near me has meal kits next to the salad bar.


I really think Kroger should just release recipes to their ClickList service. Why limit it to 5-6 pre-packaged meals with dubious produce selections visible through the plastic.

With exception of Iain M Banks novels.


Even there, the Minds are written to be very… human. They are written to think faster, but I think it’s probably impossible to write a realistic superhuman mind. Certainly impossible where said Minds have the capacity to internally replicate the full consciousness of billions of humans so much faster than real time that those simultated humans could between themselves play a game of John Searle’s Chinese Room that itself was both genuinely conscious and running faster than real time.


I’m pretty sure banning autonomous defensive weapons won’t happen because we already have them deployed. The Phalanx CIWS mounted on US Warships has a fully autonomous mode where it will fire on targets automatically.


It is there already but limited. Hospital ships are antsy about missles because CIWS are still considered weapons and they can't have them and at least one missle strike occurred at harbor because turning it on there would lead to unacceptable collateral damage to their backstop.


If you count ICBMs, we’ve had them at least since the 1960s.

For more targeted strikes with conventional explosives, we started using Tomahawk Cruise Missiles in 1991 during the Gulf War.


Those aren't autonomous weapons in the sense meant here.

Both of what you mention attack a predetermined target - a target selected by humans.

This technology is about "smart weapons" going out and searching for targets. For instance, the Chinese helicopter drone I mentioned in another post could easily be fitted with an IR sensor, and could probably hit targets out to ~200 meters with the AK.

One challenge is IFF (Identification Friend or Foe), but if you just want the drone(s) to kill all "enemies" within a certain boundary that'd be easy. AK ammo is even cheap, unlike the $500K missiles we often use to blow up individual jihadis...

And of course, at any time a human could potentially take control or at least monitor activity.


My iPhone did this to me. I’m sure people get suggested to share memories of their abusive ex all the time. :(


When you change your marital status from married to divorce, Facebook offers to hide your former spouse from your feed, and won't show her (him) in memories either. So, while I like to bash on social networks as much as the next guy, they are trying to be helpful with things like these.


just like black mirror


HIPAA requires any email with patient data be encrypted. That kills any attempt to receive email on a smart phone.


[Repeat rant about people not adopting PGP when we've had it for 27 years]

Nothing about a smartphone prevents email from being encrypted. The fact that nobody's sending encrypted email does, but that's a user adoption problem rather than a technical problem. The technical problem is solved, solved well, and has been solved for decades.


Encryption is easy. Key management is not. PGP is a lousy solution. Too difficult to use and sacrifices too much functionality.

The world needs something like iMessage but more open.


Key management is moderately difficult, and more of a UX problem than a technical one. A UX very much like that of iMessage could be built on top of PGP and keyservers.

We've had the ability to do this for a long time, but only a few major players are in a position to ensure sufficient user adoption, and they're not interested in creating anything that doesn't drive users to their walled gardens.


The bigger problem is that neither Apple nor Google have implemented device-local PGP encryption in their default email clients. Apple is one-step ahead and actually has had s/mime support for a while, but it really needs wide support on Android phones as well to become ubiquitous. It would set an implied standard for all other email apps on iOS and Android.
