> But even if they had no “commercial agreement,” Zeiler [Clarifai CEO] told the Times that his company gained access to user photos because some of OkCupid’s founders invested in Clarifai.

And

> In September 2014, the CEO of Clarifai, Inc. e-mailed one of OkCupid’s founders requesting that Humor Rainbow give Clarifai, Inc. (i.e., the Data Recipient) access to large datasets of OkCupid photos. Despite not having any business relationship with Humor Rainbow, the Data Recipient sought Humor Rainbow’s assistance because each of OkCupid’s founders, including Humor Rainbow’s President and Match Group, LLC’s CEO, were financially invested in the Data Recipient.


Lawyers: Besides whatever issue the company(ies) and investors might have with that behavior (self-dealing?), could it also let wronged individuals pierce the corporate veil, to go after personal assets?

Could this be the backstabbing surveillance capitalism incident that finally gives pause to tech executives?


You can hold the 'option' key while dragging a window in order to set it in mosaic mode (you may need to activate the mode in Settings > Finder and Dock > Windows)

Probably on the side of your project, but did you try SmolBSD? <https://smolbsd.org> It's a meta-OS for microVMs that boots in 10–15 ms.

It can be dedicated to a single service (or a full OS), runs a real BSD kernel, and provides strong isolation.

Overall, it fits into the "VM is the new container" vision.

Disclaimer: I'm following iMil through his twitch streams (the developer of smolBSD and a contributor to NetBSD) and I truly love what he his doing. I haven't actually used smolBSD in production myself since I don't have a need for it (but I participated in his live streams by installing and running his previews), and my answer might be somewhat off-topic.

First time hearing about it, thanks for sharing!

At a glance, it's a matter of compatibility, most software has first class support for linux. But very interesting work and I'm going to follow it closely


I must have overlooked the site, but are there any working examples?

Yeah, several apps have been built with it, but they're not public (or not public yet). Also, Qite.js has a number of prebuilt-components. I haven't gotten around documenting them, but you can find working example here:

What about DDoSing and its consequences? For that matter, it looks like a very bad move. Not exactly a very "grown-up" or responsible approach.

Yet with RSS you can read between 300 and 1800 articles, depending on the feed type.

Those "Prompt-YES-baity" last sentences are somehow counterproductive.

Every empirical programmer will, at some point, end up yelling it out loud (too).

> you can kinda tell where you should optimize ahead of time

Rules are "kinda" made to be broken. Be free.

I've been sticking to these rules (and will keep sticking to them) for as long as I can program (I've been doing it for the last 30 years).

IMHO, you can feel that a bottleneck is likely to occur, but you definitely can't tell where, when, or how it will actually happen.


The other reply to this 'bot' looks like another default thing: <https://news.ycombinator.com/threads?id=David-Brug-Ai>
