I've been working on ruby on rails since 1.2. I have linux servers at home and a business-class network setup. I've created docker containers from scratch and set up AWS Fargate and all the related services to run them and connect them to a public IP address.

There are a lot of people with similar experience, what makes me different is I'm interested in understanding how the entire company works, the industry it is in, and the people who make it happen.

- I was on the board of directors for furry convention for 3 years where I learned a lot about running a business.

- Learned a bit about accounting and Human Resources from relatives. I know how to spell HIPAA correctly. :)

- I've worked with E&S insurance, student loan origination, college resume processing, and European auto parts.

- I've worked directly with C-suite on high-visibility, long-term projects.

- I've learned a bit about B2B sales and customer relations by tagging along to an insurance conference.

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
