    I have to browse at -1 now all of the time just to see comments worth reading.

    I think it's safe to say that this community is in the final stages of dying. Google Trends and Alexa both show a steep decline over time. Slashdot is quite irrelevant compared to a site like Hacker News, for example.

  12. No, not quite that "simple" a problem by Pollux · · Score: 2 · on Google Glitch Took Thousands of Chromebooks Offline (geekwire.com)

    No school today...because the vendor pushed out an untested update again.

    Let me help you, as it appears you didn't do 30 seconds of Googling to help yourself. Chrome OS is heavily beta tested, and is built upon Chromium OS, which it itself is heavily beta tested. As a Google admin for a public K-12 school (~1200 Chromebooks), I have the option of assigning all my Chrome devices into one of three categories of development. Google "recommends" I activate a policy that will randomly assign 5% of all devices to a beta channel* to assist them with testing and development, though our district chooses to use stable-only software.

    Occasionally, a serious bug actually does make it through to a stable, but if it is found, Google has been incredibly quick to prioritize its fix and release an update. It's only when there's a doozie like this where suddenly everyone starts the finger-shaming.

    * The first time I turned this on, the very next day, we had about five Chromebooks all come into our office. Every one of them had Chrome crashing randomly, usually within about 30 seconds of it opening up. All had the exact same version of Chrome on it, v.51 I think, when every other one of our Chromebooks had v.50 or below. The only way we were able to fix them was to use a CrOS repair drive utility to reinstall CrOS with a previous version. When I saw that other Chromebooks that had v.50 couldn't be upgraded to v.51, I reasoned that these were the beta tested Chromebooks. I turned that feature back off, but I still saw a few more Chromebooks trickle into my office over the next few days that also "got lucky". After that, never again.

  14. Re:Nothing changed but the language by hey! · · Score: 5, Insightful · on Sexual Harassment In Tech Is As Old As the Computer Age (ieee.org)

    What you say is absolutely true, but changing cultural norms also play a role in the "epidemic" behavior we're seeing.

    I'm a horology geek, so I recently pulled up the movie Thunderball on Netflix to check out the exact details of the famous (among watch geeks) "Bond strap". Rather than search through the movie I decided to simply watch the whole thing. Now I grew up in the 60s, and I've seen this movie several times, but it's been maybe 30 years since the last time. Watching this time, all I could think was, "holy cow, Bond is rape-y."

    The thing is it wasn't so long ago that unchaperoned young women were tacitly assumed to be looking for or at least open to sex. That assumption was never so strict here in the US as in places like Italy, which is why so many American women travelling there were surprised to be mobbed on the street by grabbing men. But even here every woman was taught by her mother never to be alone with a man, and if she did she had to be prepared to slap him, which was usually effective but sometimes a dangerous escalation.

    The reason that Bond's behavior when he forces himself on his physiotherapist wasn't immediately perceived by audiences as reprehensible was because as a woman in a job that sometimes required working with men she'd have been perceived as fair game for aggressive sexual overtures when she was alone with one.

    That doesn't work when half the women in the workforce are women. If every occasion a man and a woman had to work together was sexually charged it'd be chaos. So the norms (which were never very kind to working women) had to change. The thing is with change is that we're all in different places in that change depending on how old we are, where we live, and the kinds of organizations we've worked for.

    Also worth noting that Google lets you see and delete all audio they've recorded from your device. They like to keep your voice history around for more accurate voice recognition, but it's not essential. You can delete it all if you're paranoid, or just the snippet of your uncle making an obscene and embarrassing voice search.

    That said, I'm still waiting for voice recognition to be packaged into a self-contained device. It's been almost 10 years since it began showing up in its server-assisted form (20 years as a standalone app on PC). You'd think by now technology would've improved to the point where they could start putting it on a standalone device which didn't need Internet connectivity.

    If anyone doubts this, and uses Android, go see your voice and audio activity. It's pretty eye-opening when you hear your own voice from several years ago. It includes times that you clearly meant to trigger "OK Google" and times that it mistakenly picked up random conversations.

    On the other hand, if Google is honest about this being the data that they collect, then bravo for being so open and transparent. They also offer the ability to delete. Do Amazon or Apple provide such access to the audio data they have collected from you?
