+ - 5 Slashdot: Facebook Sets Aside $3 Billion For a Potential FTC Fine

フィード by slashdotorg-feed
An anonymous reader quotes a report from ABC News: Facebook is taking a $3 billion charge as a contingency against a possible fine by the Federal Trade Commission. The agency has been investigating Facebook, but has not announced any findings yet. The one-time charge slashes Facebook's first-quarter net income considerably, although revenue grew by 25% in the period. The FTC has been looking into whether Facebook is in violation of a 2011 agreement promising to protect user privacy. The social network said Wednesday that its net income was 85 cents per share in the January-March period. Revenue grew 26 % to $15.08 billion from a year earlier. Excluding the charge, it earned $1.89 per share. Analysts polled by FactSet expected earnings of $1.62 per share and revenue of $14.98 billion. Facebook's monthly user base grew 8% to 2.38 billion. According to The New York Times, Facebook says it's expected to be fined up to $5 billion for privacy violations, including improper handling of people's data involving Cambridge Analytica, as well as a major data breach.

原子力規制委員会はNuclear Regulation Authority、原子力規制委員会はNuclear Regulation Agency、どちらも略称はNRA。
NRAがなぜnsr.go.jpかと問われれば Nuclear Safety Regulation という事なんだろうなと推測する。

+ - 5 Slashdot: Some Amazon Sellers Are Paying $10,000 A Month To Trick Their Way To The Top

フィード by slashdotorg-feed
Amazon's marketplace is so competitive that it has led to the emergence of a secretive, lucrative black market where agents peddle "black hat" services, sometimes obtained by bribing Amazon employees, that purportedly give marketplace sellers an advantage over their rivals, according to documents obtained by BuzzFeed News. These consultants charge up to $10,000 to manipulate rankings by rewriting URLs and programming bots to click on products, a report says. From the report: Other tactics to promote sellers' products include removing negative reviews from product pages and exploiting technical loopholes on Amazon's site to lift products' overall sales rankings. These services make it harder for Amazon sellers who abide by the company's terms of service to succeed in the marketplace, and sellers who rely on these tactics mislead customers and undermine trust in Amazon's products.

+ - 5 Slashdot: Applying For Your Next Job May Be an Automated Nightmare

フィード by slashdotorg-feed
merbs writes: If you think looking for a job is already daunting, anxiety-riddled, and unpleasant, just wait until the algorithms take over the hiring process. When they do, a newfangled 'digital recruiter' like VCV, which just received $1.7 million in early investment, hopes it will look something like this: First, a search bot will be used to scan CVs by the thousands, yours presumably among them. If it's picked out of the haystack, you will be contacted by a chatbot. Over SMS, the bot will set an appointment for a phone interview, which will be conducted by an automated system enabled by voice recognition AI. Next, the system will ask you, the applicant, to record video responses to a set of predetermined interview questions. Finally, the program can use facial recognition and predictive analytics to complete the screening, algorithmically determining whether the nervousness, mood, and behavior patterns you exhibit make you a fit for the company. If you pass all that, then you will be recommended for an in-person job interview. [...] VCV, which did not respond to a request for comment, is far from alone here. A growing suite of startups is pitching AI-driven recruitment services, promising to save corporations millions of dollars throughout the hiring process by reducing overhead, to pluck more ideal candidates out of obscurity, and to reduce bias in the hiring process. Most offer little to no evidence of how they actually do so. VCV's much-larger competitor, HireVue, which has raked in a staggering $93 million in funding and is backed by top-tier Silicon Valley venture capital firms like Sequoia, is hocking many of the same services. It counts 700 companies as its clients, including, it says, Urban Outfitters, Intel, Honeywell, and Unilever. AllyO, which was founded in 2015, and "utilizes deep workflow conversational AI to fully automate end to end recruiting workflow" has $19 million in backing.

日記 by m13zz

■G-square Light
43-01. 単語の不細工な短縮が大好き。

アカデミー -> アカデミ
サーベイランス -> サーベ
※当時MS?社内?ルールで「語尾の長音は省く」というケースがあったが
なんぼ何でも「アカデミ」は無いだろう。

43-02. 昼休みは11:45から。
「談笑」しつつ出勤の主目的たる昼食へ。
昼食後は一服したあと軽くソリテアを嗜む毎日。
 16:50には仕事?の片付けを完了し
終業ベルとともに必死の形相でエレベーターへ突進。

43-03. 保身のための組織作り
例. 品質管理課
(もともと存在する品質保証課ではない
 仕事が無いのででっちあげた書類いじり専門課)
※どうでもいい書類提出の義務付けなど
下らん仕事を増やされた現場から非難ごうごうで
しばらくしたら自然消滅していた。

アップグレード

+ - 169 Windows 10 May 2019 Update、外部ストレージが接続された状態では適用できない

タレコミ by headless
headless 曰く、
Microsoftのサポートドキュメントによると、USBストレージやSDカードなどの外部ストレージが接続された状態では、Windows 10 May 2019 Update(バージョン1903)の適用がブロックされるそうだ(BetaNewsの記事Softpediaの記事The Registerの記事)。

対象となるのはWindows 10 バージョン1803/1809を実行している環境で、外部ストレージが接続された状態でMay 2019 Updateへのアップグレードを実行すると、不適切なドライブ文字再割り当てが発生する可能性があるためだという。ドライブ文字再割り当ての影響を受けるのは外部ストレージだけでなく、内蔵ドライブも影響を受ける可能性がある。そのため、May 2019 Updateへアップグレードするには外部ストレージを取り外しておく必要がある。このPCはアップグレードできないといったエラーが表示された場合、外部ストレージを取り外してからアップグレードを再開すればいい。

この問題は将来のアップデートで修正される予定で、Windows 10 Insider Preview ビルド18877(20H1)では修正されているとのこと。Windows 10ではアップグレード時に空き容量が不足した場合、外部ストレージで補うことが可能だが、May 2019 Updateへのアップグレード時には利用できないということになりそうだ。なお、バージョン1809までのWindows 10ではストレージ容量の最低要件が32ビット版で16GB以上、64ビット版で20GB以上となっていたが、May 2019 Updateでは32ビット版・64ビット版ともに32GB以上へ変更されている。

+ - 5 Slashdot: Scientific Linux Distro is Being Discontinued; The Fermi National Accelerator La

フィード by slashdotorg-feed
Scientific Linux, a 14-year-old operating system based on Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) and which was maintained by some significant members of the scientific community such as The Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory and CERN, is being discontinued. From a report: While current versions (6 and 7) will continue to be supported, future development has permanently ended, with the organizations instead turning to CentOS -- another distro based on RHEL. "Scientific Linux is driven by Fermilab's scientific mission and focused on the changing needs of experimental facilities. Fermilab is looking ahead to DUNE and other future international collaborations. One part of this is unifying our computing platform with collaborating labs and institutions," said James Amundson, Head of Scientific Computing Division, Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory.

国家戦略上の意味に加えて多様性ってやつは大事なのさ。
離島ってのは大概それなりに独自の文化を築いてたりする。
逆に言えば凡百の田舎にもユニバーサルサービスを提供する必要はないとは思う。
