Maybe they were suggesting that those that are criticizing are welcome but should be orderly and take turns?

Yeah, abjectly hate conversation view.

Hmmm, seems difficult to keep up with, maybe we should use an AI to help maintain the list?

More seriously, if I’m reading that right, this list is only targeting image search?

Web search used to be about scraping the web to find and present other people’s work as just that… their work. Now the handful of websites claim ownership of the contributions of everyone, and at this point it’s just corporations arguing about who owns your stuff. Pirates will not win out in this argument, except maybe in the very short term.

Logitech mice always get better with age, they give you extra clicks for free with each touch of the button!

Doesn’t sound like a design flaw, it’s the whole point, only reason you need a cancellation portal.

Maybe just protect everyone’s right to privacy?

Their enforcement mechanism ensure the opposite.

Also not a surprise because as the article notes it’s been known and discussed since at least 2018

Huh

Hexbear is an 8/10 on this scale

Private messaging? No, just ‘direct’?

That’s skipping over the fact that recovering deleted data, even if it isn’t overwritten, is not an “oops”. It it takes extra effort, and if that data isn’t being protected it would be overwritten incidentally as drives are used.

There is a big difference in a database between “flagging” data and actually removing the association of the data to the database.

The article is being disingenuous about data not being deleted unless it’s overwritten with 1’s and 0’s. Technically that’s true, but:

Most data being deleted is equivalent to a piece of paper being placed in a trashcan, and it’s “permanently” deleted when that trash gets hauled away to a landfill (or supposedly recycling but that’s another topic). Technically it’s still forensically accessible, but it isn’t accessible by any normal means. That piece of paper may not have been incinerated, but for the majority of practical purposes, it’s gone.

Apple never hauled the trash away, even though they claimed they did. There should be no way for them to accidentally restore those photos, just like there’s no way for you to accidentally get a piece of paper back in your trash bin after it’s been sent to a landfill.

Focusing on the 1s and 0s skips past the fact they failed to complete the first, obvious, essential step. If they didn’t delete it the simple way, they would never have gotten to the 1s and 0s step. This isn’t just a simple oversight, and those pictures were still very easily accessible, just not to the people who should have been in control of them.

Thank you!

Can’t read the post past the giant subscribe things banner :/

Hopefully we stop wasting this limited resource on fucking balloons.

It’s unfortunately their business model is 100% extortionate bullshit.

Which isn’t the point of the article. I’m glad this is being reported on and hope that type of competition leads to better working conditions.

Hah, no, definitely not a 24/7 thing. More that it can be a useful exercise.

Mostly it’s about best practices I think, and getting a feel for them. Try starting with something simple, like making a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Describe how it’s done, each step. Think about where it’s efficient, where there’s extra wasted action, or time. By the time you’re done you’ll be considering if your butter knives are stored in the best spot, if you should get everything out at once, or one at a time. Do you have enough inventory? Is having extra inventory a waste? Is it worth washing knives afterwards or get extra so you can wash a batch at a time instead?

Then, go back through from the perspective of a child that has never seen your kitchen. Do the steps still make sense? How can you make it more simple, less effort? Finally, when I mentioned hand off… How do you ensure that your child laborer is going to deliver a pb&j of sufficient quality? Who determines quality? Production time?

Once you start thinking that way, everything is a process that could be considered, with inputs and outputs, quality control issues, potential waste, efficiency improvements, etc. It applies to data just as much as a sandwich for example, and office jobs are all about taking information, changing it a little and sending it on. Each step should transform in some way (capturing who does what, to what, at each step can help). Understanding the complexity instead of assuming simplicity so you can analyze it, but then distill it back down to something that is actually simple and understandable.

Anyway, hopefully that helps some in thinking about it a little differently.

For googling key words: quality management, process mapping, process analysis, lean, ?

Unfortunately there’s a lot of corporate shit, buzzwords, and SEO that have accumulated so it can by hard to find good info (like everything else now?)

Processes

Super generic, most people interact with them in some form all the time both at work and personal without a second thought. Very few understand what makes a good process, especially when there is a handoff involved.

Oh also communication. Everyone does it so a lot of people must be really good at it right? Yeah…

What fight? Google is making money, and nearly everyone is playing Google’s game following their tune. Google is definitely not losing.
