Wrt client side encryption, how would you expect MS to run ML/SQL/DocDb/Office on their German servers without reading the data? MS offers some of those products on premise, so that's client side in my view. ie you can run Office, SQL, Service Bus, Skype, Active Directory on your own machines, actually MS still makes most of its income selling software.
If there are companies not offering that flexibility those are Google, think Gmail/Docs/Hangout, and Amazon.

They don't need legal standing. They're a big company, and big companies sue people they don't like into bankruptcy. The basis of the claim only needs to look vaguely possibly meritorious for the lawsuit to be forced through the uber-expensive court circuit.

Only way to avoid being sued into bankruptcy after you've pissed off someone big enough is for your company to be doing dozens of millions each year at minimum, and thus, have the resources to tolerate the associated legal fees. If you make someone mad before this happens, expect to be forced to shut down.
What lawyer will take on such a case, when it's unsure if you'll ever get paid, and if you do, it's years after the actual work is done? The first thing you do after you've hired a lawyer is pay his advance. No small firm can shoulder having to front cases that can drag on for years. It's not like you can tell your staff 'yeah we'll pay you in a few years'. And when the client is found guilty, the prosecutor will confiscate much of it. Good luck getting paid then.

WebSockets are superior from a technical perspective, no arguing that. But, long-polling makes for more straightforward APIs, which could be valuable if you're more concerned about developer UX than the number of bytes on the wire.

For example, long-polling can actually be RESTful, so it fits in well with conventional API practices. It's also naturally resilient to network issues since each re-poll heals the stream. Users are very unlikely to lose data due to forgetting about some corner case.
In Denmark we have MobilePay and Swipp. The former works with your phone number and credit card, and the latter works with your phone number and bank account. When you want to send money, you send it to the receivers phone number and they can see it seconds later in the app, and on the account shortly after. It's really simple, though I probably would use it to pay for rent.

For payment between parties we have multiple systems. For one time payments we have FIK (a Danish way to request and pay between banks), for recurring payments we have "Betalings Service" which is basically an automated version of FIK, and lately automatic CC billing. I don't even think I can write checks anymore. I can request one from the bank for a fee, but I've done that exactly once in the last 15 years, when I bought my car.

(local-set-key (kbd "<M-right>") 'my/lisp-indent-adjust-parens)

Now you can just M-left and M-right to adjust the indentation of any line, regardless of where the point is, and adjust-parens fixes the parens for you.

That's the trademark side of the case, and yes, In N Out could probably successfully argue that usage of their logo implies endorsement and/or is likely to create consumer confusion and that it's therefore a trademark violation. That's pretty easy for DoorDash to put to rest; just stop putting In N Out's logo on the site. A few good, highly-visible disclaimers would probably put any remainder of a trademark claim to rest.

A modified menu would be tougher. You can argue that there may be copyright infringement, and that may be valid to a limited extent, but DoorDash could put up a version of the menu that wasn't copyrighted, as its heart, menus are factual arrangements, and facts are not original creative works subject to copyright (though a specific arrangement of those facts may be). In N Out could also claim that there's trademark infringement if DoorDash is using trademarked food names, but I think it'd be a harder argument to win, since DoorDash can argue it's a nominative use.

IANAL.
There may also be the threat of a malicious entity submitting their key-sign request on a malicious USB device, although the article doesn't seem to say whose USB device gets plugged in.

I agree it's probably simple to lock down the possible USB devices (ideally, don't even compile-in support for them in the kernel), but I am wondering if anyone can confirm it's been done, and I would still worry about exploits in the USB stack or hardware. It seems like this is the biggest chink in the armor, so I'd go for hand-keying from paper (a redundant encoding can probably make this not excruciating for the humans involved), another optical disc (CD-R), a floppy disk, a camera for scanning something like QR codes, a simple wired serial link, serial over infrared. I suppose these all have some tradeoffs, but at least some of them don't involve plugging in another electronic device that uses a complex general-purpose protocol just to transfer what probably amounts to a few dozen kilobytes.

Udacity is awesome, I got hooked on programming and use python as my go to language due to udacity's programming 101 class. I still have a lot of subscribed courses which are not finished :) and take a look at them from time to time.

Though with Huffman's webdev course I would disagree. I do not know when you took it, but myself, I did it just as it was released, and at that time it was not fully complete. I mean in a sense of extra helping material. Huffman discussed some basics, which were great (especially about how not to make noob mistakes), but for a complete python and webdev noob exercises were really opaque. I remember how flooded forums were of how to setup your app for google app engine or how to complete some exercises to fit it (GAE).

The difference is reversibility.

ACH never settles, it just hasn't returned yet. There's a 60 day window for ordinary not authed returns, and even past that in cases of fraud. ACH is also push or pull, you can push money or the person you're paying can pull. (Or paychecks. A lot of paychecks are run over ACH). There are limits on ACH, depending on what you're doing its anywhere from 2.5k to 25k to $10^8.

Wires are nearly irreversible. Once you send the money, it's Gone. So the banks have a lot more documentation that they do for retail customers. Wires are push only.

Given limited funds I think we should not distribute them via a lottery. That just doesn't seem like the most efficient use of the money we have.

I fully agree with point 3 though. Currently we produce PhDs waay above replacement rate. Every tenured professor produces dozens of PhDs during his career, but his tenured position only becomes available once he retires. That's just not sustainable, no matter how much money you throw at universities and research institutes.

Trademark infringement and dilution. By pretending to be In N Out they confuse customers into thinking they are buying from In N Out directly.

There is a first sale doctrine in Trademark, but it might not (probably?) won't apply here. First, courts have found that not all reselling falls under first sale if the products aren't exactly the same. Here, by delivering they are serving different food because it gets cold and soggy. They could also argue that In N Out doesn't provide delivery service and this place is selling that service using In N Outs trademark.

The damage to In N Out is brand devaluation. People might think that In N Out sucks.

A clear example is: You can resell macbooks. You can buy them, sell them, even repair them.

But you can't set up a fake Apple Store that looks like a regular one.

Doordash is argue they are doing the former, and In N out will say the latter.

> Simple example - most legacy publishers don't even release games for multiple APIs (such as OpenGL), because of costs. I.e. they are hostages of lock-in. That exactly demonstrates the issue above, and the fact that it has a direct impact.

It is not how it works in the industry.

They focus on one platform, because game programming is more than the graphics API, the hardware architecture and OS are also part of the whole equation, and what means being able to extract every single byte and ms for a few extra FPS.

The talks done by Naughty Dog are a good example of how much it matters to be an expert on a specific platform.

Then they leave the ports to other game studios that specialize in porting to specific platforms, which is another way how money flows inside the industry.

There is a whole industry specialized in game ports since the days of Atari ruled the world.

A publisher that targets PC, XBOX, PS4 and Nintendo has already by definition supported 4 graphical APIs, not counting the additional OS and hardware differences.

You can shout to the windmills how much bad lock-in and duplication of efforts are, like it happened to Don Quixote, no one will care until you change the speech to the language and mentality that reigns in the game industry.

What matters is IP, licenses and getting the games into the hands of users.

The technology used comes a few bullet points down in the priority list.

The reason why is to break the link between track record and grant funding. It has got so extreme that it has perverted the whole of science.

It just is not possible by peer review to determine the difference between a grant that is ranked in the top 10% and one that is ranked in the top 30%. Given we only have enough money to give less than 10% of all grants money, continuing the current process is just creating massive problems.

> That area is now expensive enough that even with Prop 13 her children have to pay her property taxes for her.

I'm not sure I believe that.

As I understand it, Prop 13 caps property tax increases on a given property to a maximum ~2% per year. [0] Your property's value is not reassessed, no matter what happens to other properties in the area! The only way for a property to be reassessed (and -thus- for its tax to dramatically increase-) is for it to change hands, or for major improvements to be performed to the property.

Even in the case of major improvements, the value of just the improvement is assessed and added to the value of the property as a whole. The unimproved portion of the property is not reassessed.

Am I dramatically misunderstanding something about Prop 13?

Or were you saying "The cost of living at this mom's place is now so high that she can't even afford to pay the Prop 13-suppressed property tax on her property."?

[0] Inflation is generally understood to be ~3% per year, and has been for at least a decade... so this means that property taxes increase at a rate that is lower than inflation.
