I find that in today's world it is no longer about one person being "accountable". There is always an interplay of factors, like others have pointed out cyber security has a compliance angle. Other times it is a cost factor, redundancy costs money. Then there is the whole revolving door of employees coming and going, so institutional knowledge about why a decision was made lost with them.
That is hard to do for even a small company. How do you balance all that out for critical infrastructure at a much larger scale?
Like another commenter mentioned, the healing brush tool along with background removal + remove tool + content aware fill/move + object selection tools have improved and make life even for an amateur PS user much easier with the latest versions.
I wonder, what happens to content posted on say Instagram/Reddit/Forums etc.
They usually have a clause around getting a license to all the content posted on their site and being able to sub-license/modify it/create derivative work.
Doesn't that basically mean once content is posted there. They can do what ever they want with it? What happens in those cases when the creator has given permission(although unknowingly perhaps)?
I am curious, what is the definition of winners here? Do they make more money or do they invent more successful products/ideas or is it something else?
If profits and revenue are dropping. Isn't that an indication of harder times? Shouldn't they be saving money right now to invest more in their R&D to tide this over and continue growing?
Don't apps just refuse to work now a days if ADB is activated? It has been a few years since I tried it. But I remember my bank app refusing to working with the developer options(forgot what this is exactly) turned on. Also if I remember right, some apps do not work on rooted phones. Or are we talking about different things?
Assuming the world is moving towards more automation and high skilled(not sure this is the right term. But places where you need to be more adaptable and think more) jobs. Also assuming for a moment todays adults are the transitionary generation.
How do we prepare the next generation for what is to come? It feels like schools are still stuck in the industrial age. How do we teach them not math and science but the actual act of learning/adapting. Our parents could not predict what the world would look like today, neither can we. How do we educate the next generation on the foundational skills rather than specific skills which they can learn on their own depending on what the situation calls for?
This is an idea I am thinking about, so I would love to hear other opinions and thoughts.
Curious article. But I wonder if the problem lies elsewhere. The tweet caught my attention.
The author seems to be using outrage and dramatic words to get engagement. Based on this article and the views the tweet got, it looks like it is working.
The curious thing is that there is a reply from MKBHD in the thread and the tweet author highlights how MKBHD used a more dramatic title on Youtube and that is the authors gripe.
It it possible that all the only way to get engagement(the author is doing the same thing on his primary social media channel i.e. Twitter and MKBHD on his i.e. Youtube) now a days on your primary social media platform is with dramatic words/titles? Which is what is causing all this friction?
I am curious, what could have been done differently?
This started more than 30 years ago. The internet as we thinking about it did not exist. Computers were just going around. Most it was physical copies which could not be centralized/shared at scale till the internet came around.
I am just trying to think about what kind of system would account for all the changes that have happened and prevented this while also accounting for the reverse where the real person suddenly had someone trying to steal their identity also accounting for the fact this system has to be valid for the future. Maybe it is a failure of my imagination, but I can only think of ways to do it for the current state of the world, assuming the world never changes.
You bring up an interesting point. Just thinking out loud for a moment here. Is the current VC business model potentially the problem area and not the actual businesses? The need for rapid growth/software company like profit margins when these companies need more time and potentially are like non-software companies in terms of profits?
Maybe people are ok with companies making money from their free work as long as the company does not antagonize the people offering free services just to milk every drop of money from other peoples handwork.
It used to be that forum owners had to beg their users for money to keep the servers going. Which is also not a great situation. But now it seems like it swung completely in the other direction, with users having to beg the forum owners to keep/add things they use.
"He was handpicked by Vinod Dham to join Intel and worked there from 1988 to 1991. At Intel he was part of the architectural team that designed the i486 processor."
It will be curious to see how this pans out. Will it be like be like the boeing and mcdonnell douglas merger where the engineering dominated culture died and it became all about money or will it be like Steve Jobs returning to Apple to lead it to new heights.
Just my experience. Tried Copilot(the one for Office) but was left disappointed.
It said it could not do say add an image to a ppt/create one. When it clearly could.
Chat was was overly simplified and fixed the wrong problem.
Randomly changed say Excel sheet with no clear undo after multiple steps
Plus how it works is hidden, so not sure if they are using 3.5, 4 or something else. So no idea if that is causing the problem.
MS is putting out a lot of things quickly. But the quality is just not there in my experience. They are doing way too many things too fast to make any one thing good.
That is hard to do for even a small company. How do you balance all that out for critical infrastructure at a much larger scale?
