This isn't a copyright issue, it's simple fraud and theft -- the client has taken your work without paying for it. If someone steals your car, do you try to charge the thief with violating the trademark for the car's brand name or the copyright for the owner's manual? No, you charge the thief with stealing -- in this case, theft of services.

IANAL, and you should get one. In fact, without professional legal advice and with all respect, you don't have a chance to sort out the issues.
bitcoin won't receive government backing any time soon, if ever. Cyber security risk is at an all time high and on the government's NSA agenda.

The next war won't be fought on the ground, it'll hacked out in the deep web. Until regulation /security concerns are shored up bitcoin isn't a viable long term currency option.
What does this mean for the Structure Sensor's integration with OpenNI?

> If you use it to replace groceries... well, kudos to you if you can afford it.

It really depends on where you live and what your time is worth. An hour every week at the grocery store, gas, wear on the car vs going once every two weeks. Also, with fresh groceries, my meals generally run in the 7 dollar area.

If I value my time at 100 per hour, plus gas, I'm definitely saving money, even if I'm not using it to replace eating out. I live in NYC, for reference.

EDIT: Ok, I wanted to do the math. So at 3 dollars more per meal, per person, I would be paying an extra 3 (additional expense per meal) * 6 (meals in a week) * 4 (weeks in a month) = 72 (additional expense per month). If I'm saving two trips to the groceries and my time is worth 100 per hour, 100 * 2 - 72 = 128. So I'm up by 128 bucks. That's not factoring in the novelty of it or the time spent planning meals/ingredients.
This hypothesis makes me wonder about the following:

1. What sort of threshold would cause the universe to develop another dimension? Could this have something to do with the concept of emergence, and discrete levels of organization? Perhaps when a given dimension (or set of dimensions) contain enough 'complexity' to start exhibiting emergent behavior, information about that emergent layer can effectively be encoded in a 'new' dimension.

2. When such a threshold is crossed the amount of information required to describe the universe jumps dramatically. Isn't this inconsistent with what we believe to be true of the level of the velocity of entropy in complex systems?
I just used the original headline from the blog. You're correct that it makes sense in context, but that is why the "recording your moves" part is in quotes. It's a direct quote from the O'Reilly headline.

Anyway the larger issue is that it is not clear exactly what information is being logged. We know some location info is vulnerable, but exactly what and how much? The O'Reilly researchers really should have done a better job. The least they should have done was to run some controlled experiments with a freshly wiped phone.
I agree. This is the cell tower data you get back from the significant change API (the low battery use location mechanism).

http://www.cannonade.net/blog.php?id=1482

I am not really surprised Apple doesn't throw this data away. I think they could have been a little more transparent about it though.
It has both real GPS and Apple's own version of Skyhook.
AGPS is GPS satellites assisted by cell towers, and is in the iPhone 3G onwards. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assisted_GPS

The original iPhone had no GPS and always used cell tower triangulation. This varied a lot - I remember in Manhattan, NY it could track me almost to the street number; on the other hand I once turned it on in a moving car in rural NSW, Australia and it drew a circle approximately 500km in diameter.
As jaskerr said, the font stack looks like this:

"Adobe Caslon Pro", "Hoefler Text", Georgia, Garamond, Times, serif

The first two fonts don't come with Windows, so if it's using one of them and looks bad then you have a shitty version of it installed. Not his fault.

The next font is Georgia. If Georgia looks bad then you just must not like Windows' font rendering. I don't blame you for that, but it's also not Zed's fault.

On a side note, I wonder if Microsoft finally fixed the idiotic "you can have normal antialiasing or sub-pixel antialiasing but by God you cannot have both" behavior in Windows 7? Anyone know?

Or you might just be talking about the tag line that's using some @font-face font that looks like ass. It looks just as bad on a Mac, so that's not the cause -- it's just an ugly font.
>How do you outlaw that?

You don't. We change the societal web of incentives such that the people who become legislators are capable of making the distinction between unethical lobbying and their role as representatives on their own.

The people we're getting right now sometimes seem cognitively unable to draw this distinction at all.

EDIT: And how do we do that, I hear you cry? We'll what we're doing right now is a good start. Capitalists, entrepreneurs and some might say downright greedy people having loud, public conversations questioning and debating the role of private business in government, and vice-versa. If this keeps happening, the meme that perhaps such unrestrained lobbying might be harmful will permeate mainstream culture, and when the politicians of the future are preparing their campaign platforms, personal ethical responsibility in their relationship to industry will be at the top of their minds, because they perceive them to be at the top of the minds of those who will be voting for them.
Obviously it is too ambitious to expect politicians to act selflessly. Therefore we must make it in their interests to act ethically.

And run-on-sentences. Those help too.
Bevy has very fast iteration cycles and it has been a core "required" feature since the beginning. With our "fast compiles" config, compiling iterative changes to most of the examples takes less than a second. Changes to the "3d_scene" example compile in ~0.5 seconds on my machine.

Check out our most recent efforts in our last blog post, where we added easy dynamic linking for a massive compile speed boost:
https://bevyengine.org/news/bevy-0-4/

I also discuss the perception that "Rust is slow to compile " in the original Bevy announcement post: https://bevyengine.org/news/introducing-bevy/

In short: fast compile times in Rust are possible. As long as your core libraries do the "right things" when it comes to design, writing user code can be extremely productive. The compiler has also gotten a lot faster over the last couple of years.
The entire article is about people who are treated as human beings being more effective at their jobs.

I'm saying that this applies at every level of the scale, in work, love, friendship, society, everything.

We are wasting mind-bendingly tremendous amounts of talent in our world simply because of tunnel-vision mindsets.

And it saddens me that as hard as I try, I can't change this. I've spent my career trying. The well has run dry, and now I'm one of them. :/
Why do you spend time imagining how straw men think?
I've heard this claim before, but I've never seen it substantiated. Would you like to do so?
> Needs are wants with greater urgency.

You don't always want needs. Want is desire. Need is requirement.

In this case, I would assume the reason is that the author isn't writing this piece as content marketing but on her blog as something she'd like to share. And it's quite possible that she anticipated poor conversions on the post to the startup from direct reference and would rather not have the post perceived as content marketing than to dilute it to receive poor returns.

Either way, this person seems pretty smart. Content marketing has been around for ages and most people know how to do it so this thread comes off a little like the "nice trigger discipline" comments on Reddit whenever some professional soldier is photographed.
Uhm, keycloak does all the things you name and more.

I have it in production at work. Three instances, clustered (infinispan), running in docker containers orchestrated by kubernetes.

Each instance (pod) is upper-limited to 2gb ram (or 3, can't recall the details now).

It works very well and very reliably, serving about 750 users (as in, real people).

If you have 2GB to spare and a physical core, you can run keycloak with no problems at all.

After all, it all depends on the amount of traffic. Little traffic = little cpu load.

Don't dismiss keycloak because it's written in Java... Quite the contrary, you can tune the JVM to work with little memory (-Xms -Xmx iirc).

Ten years ago it was very common to see tips and tricks to make grails web apps work on as little as 64mb of ram on chap VPSes.
> Rocket lake being backported to 14nm is still not a good sign for actual production volume,

I'm not seeing a good reason for thinking this is the case. Server CPUs are harder to fab (much larger die area) and they need to fab more of them (desktop CPUs are relatively niche compared to mobile and server CPUs).

If anything this is a sign that 10nm is fully ready.
Wormhole.app looks great! I use P2P instant file sharing websites like webwormhole.io and file.pizza extensively and so this is a welcome upgrade. I used Pirate Bay's now-defunct uplovd.com and webtorrent-based instant.io for a while too! Wormhole.app is way better. Kudos.

A request, if I may:

Comms apps like WhatsApp / Email / Slack / Telegram are (ab)used for file-transfers because they instantly help send files to the intended recipient.

With wormhole.app, if you could develop a UX similar to a chat-room where I could upload files and authorized participants could instantly download it, that'd be something.

Couple questions:

As with webtorrent.io and most of your other projects, is this going to be open-source or source-available?

Does wormhole use WebRTC or rely on a mix of things like libp2p or webtorrent or something similar?
No, you're absolutely right. The repo had indeed been stuck on "April 2020". I last checked it two days ago.

Stock represents actual ownership of a scarce resource (a company).

Is there a limit to how many shares a company can issue? No, a board can technically issue shares unto infinity. There is no guarantee of scarcity, no guarantee they will not raise more money.

That company would have value whether or not it was explicitly sold as a stock. The value doesn’t come from the stock.

So when a company has no profit but a high valuation, is this the market correctly discounting future predicted cashflows and giving a company fair value, or is it some sort of scam? Ex: Is NKLA actually a $5.2b electric vehicle company? How about the spade of Chinese IPOs that ended up being vaporware?

Cryptocurrency removes the underlying asset and simply sells shares of artificial scarcity.

The scarcity isn't artificial. It's mathematically provable, open source and auditable. If you think you can manufacture "fake" btc on the blockchain, feel free to try. If you think you can successfully fork and create a whole new chain, you're also welcome to try.

It’s only as valuable as what people decide to trade it at, because it doesn’t represent ownership of anything other than itself.

This is actually factual for anything in existence. A piece of bread. A $100m painting. You're starting to figure out what peculiar creatures humans are.
It's 100x worse if you are over the age of 45 regardless of gender. You can be profitable and growing and your grey hairs will turn off the majority of VC's. Agism is so accepted there's not even lip service paid to combatting it as there often is with founders of color or female founders.
As a US citizen, my encounters with the TSA and other agencies have also caused me a great deal of pause to say the least. For example, I have been living on a tourist visa in Mexico, and after being treated like a presumed drug mule each time I crossed to pick up mail, I now avoid crossing the border unless it is 100% required. The last time I tried to fly somewhere I was accosted by an agent and interrogated, forced to give my employer's number. I am pretty sure that cost me that contract. I think it was because I was tired and started to get angry about three questions in.
My experience with the IRS has been worse. They behaved the way I assume a loan shark would.

I can only assume you're referring to Intel's Rocket Lake storage demonstration they tweeted out. This was using PCMark 10's Quick Storage Benchmark which is more CPU bound than anything else.

All of the other benchmarks in the PCMark test suite push the bottleneck down to the storage device.

One would think Intel might want to build a storage array that could stress the PCIe lanes but then that might show an entirely different picture than the one Intel is portraying.
Learning to program in Javascript is like programming in assembler. That may be unavoidable when there are no high level languages, or when those languages and toolsets are immature. But there are serious experts (and people with a lot of experience with very large js programs) who don't see js as the solution.
"Goaded by Meijer as to whether it is possible to write big programs in JavaScript, Hejlsberg replied, €œYes, you can, but you can€™t maintain them," much to the delight of the crowd that featured several prominent language and tools designers. €œI think there are some unmet needs there,€ Hejlsberg added.
Bracha immediately piped in saying, €œThat€™s part of why we€™re doing Dart. You can write them [large programs in JavaScript]; it€™s terribly hard and afterward you€™ll be punished.€ - See more at: http://www.eweek.com/c/a/Application-Development/Is-it-Time-...
Quoting reddit:

In Japan you can look forward to low salaries, long hours, no advancement opportunities and working with trailing edge technology. Whats not to like?

And unfortunately that's only slightly hyperbolic. Full discussion below, and do bear in mind that it's a) an atypically good offer for Japan, and b) much of the audience is young English teachers on shoestring salaries.

Thanks for for pointing that out. I had fallen for the smaller land mass = much smaller population fallacy.
There is a big difference in efficiency across people and startup teams, in terms of what they might achieve in <X> amount of time. A solo founder with no experience as an entrepreneur, little technical prowess, and few useful connections would generally take longer to be successful.

For example, look at YC companies' varying degrees of progress at demo day. They usually have at least two founders -- if they are working 80 hours/week, they would roughly be putting in 1,000 hours per founder after 3 months.
I switched from iPhone to android in May. One of the reasons was just that it's open. If I want to do something on it, I probably can. Without voiding the warranty etc.

It's up to me if I want to run flash. Also there's no idiotic tie in to iTunes, it has over the air updates, hotspot tethering and you can even set your ringtone to any mp3. There's a ton of other reasons Android will beat the iPhone IMHO.

I don't think I'd have an iPhone again. It was great when there wasn't any competition, but now it's sorely lacking.

I will keep coming back to check this out, and maybe add some recipes because I love cooking. But I’m not sure that “bloat” is a problem. For one, almost every recipe page has a “Jump to Recipe” option near the top. More so, with a new recipe I’m prone to start with a blogger who’s recipes I’ve already had great success with. I imagine “success” varies with taste buds, but it’s going to hard to convert me away. Finally, the best thing about cooking frequently (4-6x per week) is experimentation and learning and calibrating to your kitchen (different outcomes for different appliances). At this point, a recipe (or collection of recipes for the same dish) is like a reference point to build upon. I imagine this site would’ve been awesome for me 5 years ago when I felt comfortable only cooking 5 dishes (now around 50), and even then I’d need some consistent outcomes to keep coming back.
> We've seen things that fester online that lead to real life tragedies or to the damaging of the fabric of democracy itself. Including insurrection on the US Capitol which took its roots on Twitter.

I find your comment quite one sided and exaggerated.

There was no insurrection on the Capitol because there was no guns, no widespread weapon carry, no significant violence inside and no proof of an organization to actually overthrow the government was shown in the various reports and court cases. The surveillance videos showing the protesters walking in calmly in file following the cordon is the definitive proof of that. In fact the censorship and manipulation of social media is known to cause the formation of various ideological bubbles that acts as positive feedback loops for extremism.

On the other hand we saw waves of violence since last year that were instigated by actual self-proclaimed insurrectionists. News presenting the violence were minimized while news of politicians supporting the protests and news stations downright lying the violence while buildings were burning on the background. This is all due to the censorship and narrative control of big media conglomerates, not actual open conversations.

> There's a spectrum between "cancel culture is bad" vs. "let domestic terrorists and CP sharers gather"

Crimes are not on a spectrum, either someone is guilty or not, there is no in between. And as pointed out by Justice Thomas recently, when organizations become too big they can be subject to regulations as public utilities, which will made them unable to infringe on the first amendment of their users.

> And I don't think there's a slippery slope concern.

Contrary to popular belief, fascism and Nazism did not rise because of free speech, but because of speech suppression and narrative control (read propaganda) along side with a close collaboration with intelligence services that began as early as the 1920s. Given that the more we they censor the more they have power which makes them more and more successful in censorship and narrative control means that we are in a positive feedback loop, which is slippery slope.

Not only that, but the current streaming services have done a great job of killing the quality of their content.

The Expanse under Sci-Fi was stunning. Under Amazon, it's a meh at best. I was incredibly excited for Season Four, watched it, and came away wondering if Amazon had replaced everybody but the actors with a mixture of part-time interns and bags of slightly off-date produce.

Haven't bothered with Season Five. Just don't care.

Same for mainstream TV.

On the other hand, I watched a short (Overlord) set in the SCP universe done by an independent filmmaker, and loved it.

They didn't try and explain things to me. Just straight into the story. The characters behaved about as realistically as I would expect, and showed that the scriptwriter actually did some research. I would pay for full-length movies with this level of storytelling and production value.

In short: I don't need to pirate anything, because there's nothing I feel is worth my time to watch.

The same way they know that Google chose google.com and Twitter chose twitter.com instead of twitter.io or something else.

This is referring to something else I think, how to transfer .com's into a blockchain while preserving ownership, is that right? That could be done (if needed) with a centralized registrar whose job it was to vet the ownership of the names upon first registration in some namespace. After the initial registration, control would be transferred to the owner of the domain. This is again, however, specific to the case of migrating ICANN domains (if someone wants to do that).

Surely this has been extensively double-checked and there is an explanation, but I'd be interested into what it is. I get the direction the likes of Uber and Lyft are coming from with the "we're just an app that connects 2 people", but the way Kickback is described on TC makes their "loophole" less obvious. I think they may be more geared towards one betting money against another that they can beat them personally, but it's not immediately clear.
According to this[1] list, 100 would be vastly over estimating. Even including 9/11, and disregarding all incidents with no fatalities, the average based on the GTD data is about 12.5. If you are willing to concede that 9/11 was a once-in-ever event that is unlikely to be matched, then the number drops below 2.

And that's probably still a vast overstatement of the likely fatalities for any given plot, given that 2103 of the 2381 recorded by the GTD have 0 fatalities.
