technology isn't supposed to get worse, but now it seems deliberate and all of big tech is shivering in their boots (or trying to innovate themselves out of the double sided mouse trap)
I should quickly point out that this list is specifically tailored towards compression (so lots of names that you'd expect to be listed unfortunately aren't), but I think this is actually a really cool idea to expand upon.
Basically a sort of family tree of scientific and/or artistic innovators with documentation of their major contributions to their field listed in chronological order, that you can filter down to more specific search parameters.
Like if I wanted to view the "lineage" history of computer science vs history of physics, there should be a lot of common math centric "ancestors" in this weird "genius family tree" im thinking of.
Basically what I like so much about this is that it gives you a pretty good roadmap on how you approach actually learning how data compression theory works in a more linear and straightforward manner than if you were to just look up "data compression" on wikipedia and spelunk around following unknown but educationally perquisite terms.
im just curious how they knew the person of interest read that article?
Was he a person of interest in the lead up to the shootout, who got away, and they were just grasping at straws to discover a list of local area IPs correlated with known addresses he might have been hiding out at so they could obtain a search warrant?
If that's the case, then honestly I don't think this is any worse than when they force say Google or Facebook to provide such data to government.
I don't see why the USA Today should get any special privileges over any other tech company just because they are "media".
If we want to have an argument about the Government abusing it's power to spy on us in general, that's one thing. But the USA Today is literally saying its more important they protect the illusion of their readers "privacy" (which we all know they don't care about your privacy are willing to sell all your personal info to the highest bidder, its in all their TOS) than it is to try and help the cops catch a child predator...
I do agree that this does establish a troubling precedent, but i kinda thought Snowden already made it blatantly clear that the NSA and the CIA is already doing this.
It seems to me that the FBI is basically just trying to play catch up, which we should be concerned about because they are supposedly the agency put in place to police us. Those other agencies are supposedly only supposed to police the world.
(which i never understood why thats supposedly okay. Americans are the only people entitled to their privacy?)
little kids are literally saying they want to grow up to be "youtubers" now because they want to be the object of their parents affection, because they are be neglected by their parents for their phones.
And i know this is true, because ive seen like more than one photo of parents with their new born babies, looking at their screens.
We have to do something about this otherwise were fucked
and dont get me started with all the totally irrelevant and mathematically unuseful (in fact probably damaging) "politicking" that is going on the programming language, LKML, etc sites.
and on facebook right now when you click the friends tab,
not only does it fill like 95% of your screen with nothing useful, but all it shows you are the stupid idiots in your life that don't deserve even a decline.
there was a stupid bug in google about a year ago related to images where you couldn't link to twitter for some reason that I cant remember exactly but it irritated the living shit out of me like this does, and it felt maliciously deliberate.
And it wasn't the fact that you cant post google photo directly into facebook and twitter without getting a stupid image.
The tech giants are literally worse than the other two assholes in the world who are making headlines right now.
it had something to do with the copy link on the image thing being waaaaaay to stupidly long or that it didn't actually link to the image when that was naturally the first thing most people would choose that pissed them off.
that was the problem when you right clicked on a google search image and selected "copy link" and posted it to twitter not only did it give you an eyesore of a URL but it didn't even link to the photo.
seriously, anybody who uses linux right now is absolutely spoiled beyond belief, and considering that is like .00001% of the population, (well ignoring android because thats its own version of torture) this is totally unacceptable.
Why do we just sit back and be okay that finder on a $1500 dollar computer doesn't find shit?
Im using an M1 mac. I'm using chrome.
Still youtube is like, you know what dude, stop talking.
