The intent of the "any third party" language is that someone who receives a copy under 3c can invoke the offer. The offer must be valid for him, but unless he received the written offer (e.g. by buying a second-hand BMW from someone who distributed the software in accordance with 3c) he has no real business taking it up (and while BMW must honour their offer if he happens to make the correct request, they have no obligation, legal or moral, to help him make the request the correct way).

I think the only viable option would be to leave the UK. Not just you physically, all bank accounts and insurances too. When you have set up the company somewhere else (maybe netherlands, germany or sweden) you would have to renegotiate all contracts with all your clients, have new laywers, new accountants, etc...

I can not think of any way other than leaving, that will not compromise either your product, your customers or your integrity.

This is 'scrorched earth' if you will, without 'fine-sounding, useless slogans'. Consider this: If this crap becomes law, you certainly won't be alone when leaving. And when a critical amount of developers and entrepeneurs leave the UK permanently, the economy will suffer... greatly I think. And that, sad as it may sound, might be the only argument politicians would consider, when it comes to signing this bill.
So, the idea that "obscurity is not security" is not exclusive to security professionals. It is the justification that investigative journalists use on a daily basis in pursuing and publishing their stories. Next time you read an exposé of a government function, consider that the government at some point pressured the journalist to back off for "the sake of national security|the children"...assuming that the journalist isn't a total sociopath, we can give some benefit of the doubt and assume the reporter believes it's more important to expose government incompetence completely so that there's no turning back. That is almost certainly what the NYPost thought here...images draw attention. They also cost money to print, especially in full color on the inside pages. This wasn't an accident and the author of the critique shows his utter ignorance of civic institutions and bureaucracy.
As a beginner host I can tell you, booking.com IS a ripoff. They charge several times more than airbnb (15%), so hosts reflect this to higher price. So far I haven't seen the option to actually send the money to me, it seems I have to collect it on spot (hopefully not). I am 3 weeks into account opening process with them, and it's not yet done (because they fail to send me a mail with which I confirm whatever - this is internet company in 2016!). Airbnb was done in 15 minutes in super-intuitive manner.

They deserve competition desperately, either improve or die. The only reason why it's still in existence is they were first, any many people are used to them. But as with all internet technologies, this will change over time.
People forget how reliable and secure things like hard-wired physical light switches and other natural interfaces (like paper books, etc.) are. There seems to be a vast ignorance about topics like reliability, interfaces, usability and design. Just because it's digital, it doesn't mean it's better - I'd argue for the contrary in many cases. I don't want to upgrade the firmware of lightbulbs, I just don't. Despite my affinity for them, I have more than enough computers surrounding me in my everyday life.
This story doesn't quite make sense. I believe that his RSA pass was clonable and that his towel also had an RFID chip embedded in it. What I find hard to believe is that the towel had a writable RFID tag.

My main experience with RFID is cloning tags onto T5557 chips, and I don't think I've ever come across a writable tag in the wild. It doesn't seem to make economic sense to spend an extra penny or two on every towel to put in a tag you are never going to change.

You've touched on a larger issue that occurs to me often. Though your point is valid, my response to a company making the argument would be, "too bad." /They're/ the ones making billions in revenue by voluntarily accepting a business relationship with millions of customers. If you want the revenue from those millions of relationships, it's also your responsibility to manage your side of the bargain with those millions of relationships, that includes your legal (and many other) responsibilities. Is scaling to keep up with your responsibilities to millions of customers easy? No. However that's not the customer's problem.

Ok, I'll clarify: I think they were right as long as it was a throwaway prototype. And the GET delete operations are probably a bad idea even for a prototype. I was thinking of a rewrite for release 1.x.

It's Turkey. IT IS NOT THE MIDDLE EAST.

Now, that being said, the political situation there right now is increasingly hellish. What's going on there now is the result of a very long game that has been played out since before the modern Turkish republic, founded by Ataturk.
I like this idea, even having preset tags ala slashdot.

Well, generally I would agree, however on my desktop I can't recall the last time I got any malware (probably never since I bought it). So for me the choice is:

1. low risk of catching random malware (which so far is zero)

2. 100% chance of getting microsoft nagware

So yes, actually I consciously disabled windows update, because of the two, "get windows 10" is more annoying.

This is on my gaming PC though, so in the worst case I'll simply restore it from image and re-download games from Steam. So as I said, generally I do agree ;)
Have you considered to crowd-fund the development?

It looks really promising, and it feels like one of those ideas that could become popular.

Everyone seems to see this as a good thing, but think of terrible it would be if all the plastic items around you decomposed like wood. Sure, it would be beneficial for garbage and litter to "go away," but just think of how much more plastic we would need to use if every plastic item needed to be replaced every 10 years. I think it might have a significant impact on recycling as well - "rotten" plastic might be unrecylable, leading to even more use of virgin (?) plastic.
I also seem to recall a part of "Andromeda Strain" where bacteria were eating anything made of rubber?
Never seen it taken this far, but I do the same thing in Pro Evolution. I've had a few players with bad ratings that suit my gameplay, players with unused skills (fast defenders who can shoot), etc. My biggest gripe with any of these games is that they don't do more with their own data in terms of immersion. I'd trade the recorded commentary for generated text fed through a TTS engine.

Flash has long been used to support features not-yet available in the DOM APIs such as copy/paste and video, and of course in ads. There's a huge difference between that and building Flash apps; apps where a flash-displayed interface is the primary way of using the app. Outside of games those were never very popular, JS had overcome it with Google Maps.

totally. while OpenCV is really useful and magical (i did learn a lot of theory from the OpenCV tutorials though), it didn't help me wrap my head around concepts, but implementing the algorithms (gaussian blur, edge detection, etc) without having fully grasped the math helped a whole lot with understanding how things work. i still can't explain the math behind edge detection, for example, but i can describe how it works. when i wrote this, i had in mind a person who would like to get a big picture idea of what image processing is, and will hopefully be inspired to learn what happens under the hood.
I'm a bit confused. In the article it has these 2 statements:

> "...enzyme breaks it down even further, providing the bacteria with carbon and energy to grow."

> "I don't see how microbes degrading plastics is any better than putting plastic bottles in a recycling bin so they can be melted down to make new ones."

Is it degrading it to basic elements such as carbon, or is the bacteria just breaking the plastic down into smaller, microscopic pieces? If the bacteria actually breaks the plastic down to base components, then that is undoubtedly different than melting and recycling the plastic. There could be incubation centers that focus on reproducing this bacteria at mass scale and then releasing them into dumps to break down the plastic that is mixed in with the garbage.

Strange because they A/B test literally everything. The site looks the way it does because it sells better that way. You could actually say the same for Amazon then.

This may be true for now, but I have seen far too many laws beeing used in other contexts than what they were intended for.

For now it maybe used in cases of 'terrorism'. In three years your products will get compromised because the state wants to catch a drug dealer. In 8 years, they also want to catch regular burglars, and in 10 years these laws may be used against you, because you forgot to mention a $100 bill on your tax declaration...

Not familiar with Go or Rust, but the issue with newcomers to Scala, as compared to Python, Ruby, Javascript is one of the ecosystem rather than the language. While that's very off-putting to newcomers, it hopefully is a one-time cost amortized of the life of your language use.
http://www.ExchangeTree.Org

I've just recently launched a bartering website where users can exchange goods and services without using money. Users can create profiles listing out what they have to offer and what they may be looking to get in return, search other users, and leave reviews detailing their experiences with other users.

In todays economy, sometimes it can be difficult obtaining certain necessities in life, and ExchangeTree offers people an alternative platform from the financial system that is so deeply rooted in todays society.

I urge anyone interested to check it out and ask any questions you may have :)

Cheers

The tags have to be writable at the factory to set the serial number. Presumably it's supposed to be write-once but is actually a small EEPROM, and he has an exploit that lets him overwrite it (see the "details withheld").
I'm curious when you say "publish to the web", do you have a specific output/platform in mind?

One key difference with Bicycl from those other tools is that it's based on micronotes (think tweeting vs blogging). This is intentional. I use Evernote to go into detail about my work. But that makes serendipitous discovery more difficult, when the jewel of your content is buried...

Also, this allows you to focus on just what's important. As any good procrastinator know how easy it is to sidetrack yourself in details. Of course, sometimes that's wonderful and creative. But there are lots of tools out there already for that.
Keep in-mind that we're talking about always connected devices. Firmware updates could be done remotely without the end user needed to do anything, except perhaps give his approval.

If it's a true IoT, people might not really have a choice ;)
Your nice place will probably never happen. There are alternatives.

On the internet, you are actually better off allowing sites to make money with these old fashioned banner style ads. The alternative on the web is baking this predatory persuasion into the content itself.

By blocking ads, you are pushing your enemy deeper into the medium. Deeper into the story selection process, deeper into the layout decisions, deeper into an app's data harvesting, deeper into the entire editorial philosophy of a publication.

I feel like the only thing that can fix this type of mentality is a line of products targeted towards annoying nerdy 13 year old boys-- the type of boy that a lot of us were. We need to make it easy for them to abuse security lapses in IoT products. When I was in middle school, I brought a universal remote to class and turned on the television set. Yeah, I know, I was a badass. But these kids will do much more.

The problem is that when a software engineer goes to the front desk of a hotel and complains about the security of the brand new Android-Powered Hi-Tech system that they just put in, the person working the desk thinks, "Haha wow! That nerd was a real Sheldon Cooper, like on the television!" and they don't care at all. If you live in a bubble where programming and computer work is black magic, well then of course it is completely inevitable that someone so nerdy and so smart would be able to hack everything on the planet. So they don't really think there's anything to be done.

When it's a group of annoying little 15 year olds that sneak out in the middle of the night to wake up all of your guests, it's a lot bigger of a deal.
Given that this is in the UK, I wouldn't be surprised.

Disclaimer: I work for Confluent (www.confluent.io). That said, let me clarify that Kafka Streams is a component of the Apache Kafka open source project. There's nothing proprietary about it. The reason the links below point to docs.confluent.io is because the Apache Kafka docs for Kafka Streams are not ready yet; but they will when Kafka 0.10 is released, which will be the first official Kafka release that includes Kafka Streams.

> 1. How does it scale horizontally?

See http://docs.confluent.io/2.1.0-alpha1/streams/architecture.h....

> Do I have to deploy this on library on multiple nodes?

Kafka Streams really is a normal Java library. You include it in "your" Java application just like you'd include a library such as Apache Commons, Google Guava, or JUnit. There's no "deploying" of this library -- i.e. no need to pre-ship it to machines; also, you don't install a cluster or anything like that for Kafka Streams. It's a purely client-side library.

Interestingly, many folks I have talked to seem to be confused initially about the "library" aspect because I suppose, in the big data world, one has simply become used to (and pigeonholed by?) frameworks like Spark, Storm, etc. that you must deploy and operate separately (and which then dictate how they want you to write your own apps against them).

Does that make any sense?

> 2. Is RocksDB instance local to your consumer/ thread/ node?

Yes, it is local. But local state stores (RocksDB is but one choice for implementing these) are also replicated for fault tolerance. Details at http://docs.confluent.io/2.1.0-alpha1/streams/architecture.h... and http://docs.confluent.io/2.1.0-alpha1/streams/architecture.h....

Regarding joins: We have documented some information at http://docs.confluent.io/2.1.0-alpha1/streams/developer-guid....

I hope this helps! If these pointers above aren't sufficient, please drop us a note to dev@kafka.apache.org (http://kafka.apache.org/contact.html). We really appreciate any such feedback (code, docs, whatever) to ensure people have an easy and fun time to get started with Kafka as well as its upcoming Kafka Streams library.
I have found that the issue isn't the language, it's the ecosystem. If you're coming from Java environment set up is not such a big deal, but if your brand new it is not as easy as other languages.
