Imagine if Apple no longer released OS updates for devices incapable of running Metal, and they pushed updated drivers for devices already on the market, thus enabling both developer convenience and consumer trust. Oh wait, you don't have to.

Your frustration is misdirected. The CTS and Google Play Services are the only tools at Google's disposal for inducing market changes. Perhaps manufacturers will demand longer support periods for upstream hardware, for instance.

But that quote is the strawman that you reverberate.

It's not a strawman as much as the selection of artists to publish is creative and artistic in its own right. Then the relative distribution in relation to artistic input is still debatable, but out of scope if the question is, whether the publishers compensation should absolutely be forgone, and whether the publishers compensation alone is blown out of proportion compared to their work.
Excellent, thank you! Looking forward to it.
> But if it werent for Kearns, we probably wouldn't have intermittenent wipers nowadays.

Probably not the best example, because you could make a strong case that, with intermittent wipers being such a simple invention, probably someone else than Robert Kearns would have thought about it between 1969 and today.

It's a balance, of course... However, under today's excessive intellectual property laws, even assuming that Kearns could have successfully protected his idea (because it's not like IP usually favors the small players...), would society really have benefited by limiting the use of this idea (or having everyone pay royalties to Kearns)? Wouldn't plenty of other people, in particular motor companies, come up with the idea "for free" in the 20 years of a patent term anyway?

Also, relevant to the original discussion is the fact that the general lack of IP protection for ideas is an important component of free scientific discourse. So science is another situation where the lack of IP laws is arguably a good thing. In this light, when you ask:

> if companies could just steal ideas from other people instead of investing in R&D, why wouldn't they?

I ask in turn: given that countries can use the research produced by other countries instead of funding their own researchers, why do they do it today?

It's a Nexus 6 but even my 1st gen Moto G could display WebGL. In my experience it's way more common to find phones that support WebGL than desktops/laptops.
What I intended as the meaning was close, it was basically this (hopefully it makes more sense): the gravitational effects we attribute to an unknown source, dark matter, is likely the product of matter inside of black holes.

In other words, there may be weird quirks of physics that are not yet discovered. what they are I don't know. Maybe mass density or gravitational density has an upper limit, and the universe conserves mass by redistributing it in some strange way.

The point is also just this: fantastic explanations that explain what dark matter is (alternate universe's, leaking gravity) are probably the least likely to to be true. Instead, the most likely explanation is the one which uncovers the least fantastic possibilities -- it likely is explained using the least modifications to our current observations/understanding of the universe.

I don't know how it didn't make any sense, but I'm sorry that it didn't - Can someone please enlighten me?

This reminds me of my company. The IT department is also calling itself "Digital" now and they are pushing themselves more and more into all company divisions. But they are managed by people who don't have passion for or understanding of technology. Sometimes it feels like the leadership is afraid of technology.

They just know that "Digital" and "Big Data" are big now and they have to get into it. It reminds me of the internet bubble times when lots of companies did "internet" without knowing what it really means.
What about a game like Age of Empires? I know lots of people who grew up playing that game, just as a game, and learned history along the way.

There is an obvious reason to oppose such things: opportunity cost. learning anything takes time, and the curriculum is full. If you want to teach a new topic, you will have to remove something else. This might not be worth it.

(That said, I still support basic programming and basic computational reasoning at school. I propose we take away some of the math away, though I don't know which math exactly.)
To me the tightening of deadlines and rapid starting and abandoning of projects are a sign that things aren't going well.
"My gut feel is that mechanical shops in the US are in two categories: 1) competent, and running at 100% capacity or 2) incompetent, and running at almost 0% capacity."

Buying something mechanical in the US is disorganized. There's nothing like Alibaba's wholesale side, with a reputation system. There's ThomasNet, but it's just a big industry directory. There might be an opportunity here for somebody. But it's not going to be a huge business.

Designing something to be injection molded is hard. There are lots of little things that run the price way up. There's "Injection Molding Part Design for Dummies", which is $495 on Amazon, but Proto Labs will send you a copy for free if you ask them. Incidentally, all TechShop locations have a small injection molding machine good for about one part a minute, and a CNC mill on which you can make a mold. They even have Autodesk Moldflow, which helps design molds using finite element analysis to predict what will work. So you can make prototypes and learn what works.

If you're dealing with a mold-making shop, if you send them files in Inventor or SolidWorks along with a Moldflow analysis, you'll probably get a much better price. In mechanical, the more clueless you are, the more it costs.

EMachineShop has a nice little CAD program which knows what their shop can do and will price the job. It will tell you if they can't make something due to some constraint (sheet metal bends too close, hole too deep, etc.) and gives hints on how to make the job cheaper. Those guys have been around for about 15 years, do a nice business, but haven't grown much.

You are right on many points, and I should have qualified my statement that it is more philosophy than science itself. I had little intention to have very much explanatory utility about the mechanisms dark matter. Also, I have no advanced degree in physics, I just have an interest in it.

All I was trying to say, I explained below, in a response to @JumpCrissCross. I understand it's different to mainstream physics, that was the intention. Perhaps you can see the point I am trying to make.

Edit: Here is an article that appears to discuss black holes as a possible candidate to explain what we call dark matter: http://hub.jhu.edu/2016/06/16/dark-matter-in-primordial-blac...

I realize another hypothesis for dark matter is WIMPs but as I understand we have found no evidence for their existence. On the other hand, you're saying what I wrote is entirely crackpot despite academic publications and evidence that may support that alternate theory? I think you are being a bit harsh -- but you tell me, you're the apparent expert, and I'm a hobbyist, but there's a source, go read it yourself.

That's the nature of 4wd -- take a modern jeep, but it in 4wd on dry pavement and feel it lurch and moan because it can't slip. Put it in 4lo and on dry pavement and it'll lurch so hard your face will go through the windshield.

4wd without lockers means you can still get stuck (been there) because front and rear each have their own diffs. One wheel in each diff will be spinning and then you need to get a tug from a friend. The rule of thumb is always have 3 points of contact if you don't have a locker -- then one diff can spin while the other pulls you along.

Same could be said for most binaries: they're just compilations (usually with open source or freely available compilers) of C/C++ code. Shouldn't be too hard to reverse once you got all the patterns worked out.

I see your point though. I'm not very experienced on this and I'm sure some patterns can easily be recovered, but until someone goes through the effort it's still a considerable effort compared to being able to read the program normally, and even when someone does it's questionable whether the original can be recovered with some simple 1:1 translation.

I don't view this as unethical. I think it actually promotes security.

Consider that there are lots of products out there with serious vulnerabilities that no one knows about. A bad actor has tons of incentive to try to find these and keep it secret while exploiting it (for whatever their nefarious aims are). White hats have very little incentive to do so - bug bounties are a joke. So it may be worthwhile for a black hat to spend millions in security research, but it wouldn't for a white hat. The incentives are out of balance.

This type of action presents a way to balance out the incentives. The good actor here only benefits by telling the world about the vulnerability, at which point any users can demand a fix or stop using the product (I realize this specific product is a bit tougher to stop using, but the point remains for most other cases).

I probably should have added the caveat of speaking about working in an environment that is not purely software.

Here a few dozen clients/deals per year (or less) can keep a company moving and even feeling like it is progressing. Meanwhile the underlying fragility in the sales process is obscured.
The objective overseer is the market. If the flaw described is not noteworthy or material (i.e. just hype), then no profit can be made, as there won't be a market impact.
post hoc power calculations are inappropriate as they merely restate the p-value in a different form. No new information is gained.
But is that really surprising? Of course they don't view it as a partnership: it isn't and they know it. China provides you with cheap manufacturing/labor while you fund their development of the infrastructure necessary to take your business from you at the end of the transaction. It should be no surprise that they're taking you for as much of a ride as they can until then. It's smart business on their part, not so smart on ours.

It would be nice if you said what the grey area is. Quoting Snopes:

> The truth behind The Amityville Horror was finally revealed when Butch DeFeo's lawyer, William Weber, admitted that he, along with the Lutzes, "created this horror story over many bottles of wine." The house was never really haunted; the horrific experiences they had claimed were simply made up. Jay Anson further embellished the tale for his book, and by the time the film's screenwriters had adapted it, any grains of truth that might have been there were long gone.

Here we have a co-creator of the story specifically saying that it was not real. We don't have that for the Bible. It doesn't mater if many of the same logical points apply when one rather big logical point doesn't apply.

In any case, many works of fiction, like Aesop's Fables, are classified as non-fiction. My belief that "non-fiction" means it actually happened was wrong.

This will only hurt the science community. You need money to fund these publications and the scientists that are leaking the publications aren't actually funding the research with their own money.

A better idea would be to fund publications yourself (with your own money) and release all of the information for free.

But it takes much more talent, intelligence, and discipline to do something like this, which most people don't have.

That sounds a lot like that Asian stereotype. Excelling in school and excelling in research are two different things.

Is there a way for you to restrict access(limited access) to these accounts?

I'm interested in hearing what others have to say as I have been wondering this myself about giving away sensitive account access. However, I would have to side with hoodoof. You're in a position right now that's a sure thing and it's bringing you money. You never know what lies beyond so I would milk it as well. Yes, you can find even another source of income just as lucrative, if not more so, but you can also wind up not finding anything and losing your current income. Be careful not to underestimate how difficult it is to get to where you are with your current business just because you're able to do it once. It's well known that luck plays a huge roll, and with that said, I wish you the best of luck.
It's a shame, really as I actually appreciate chrome apps, considering I use OS X/macOS, Linux and Windows regularly, there's a handful of things I like carrying over with my logged in chrome.

Although there are, or at least were some definite holes in app support.. namely a stand-alone (as much as can be) mail client that supports pop/imap and smtp with tls support. There's a halfway decent SSH client, though getting your private key in can be cumbersome. Aside from that, I don't mind most of my apps being browser based. There are of course limitations, but the remote desktop and ssh apps cover most of that for me.
> Here's China's GDP growth.[1] 6.7% annually this year, down from 7.9% in 2023. The US is 2.2%. China is not "stalled".

If you trust any numbers China puts out publicly, I got a bridge to sell you...

China builds completely empty ghost cities to try and hold onto their GDP growth rates. Many of the older ghost cities are falling into disrepair because nobody is using them. They're becoming decrepit. Sure, there are a couple here and there where people actually moved in and use them, but the vast majority are still vacant and due to lack of maintenance, falling apart.

If that doesn't scream "hollow numbers" I don't know what does. Not to mention, China has routinely shown they will fudge the numbers without hesitation or care.
I really don't want to criticize the OP, but as an observation, the question reveals such a deep level of naivety about how to run a company that it bodes very poorly for the transition of this company to same-but-multiple-time-bigger-and-more-profitable.
I was sincerely asking all of those questions. I'm not very familiar with the process these specs go through to reach adoption.
Thanks for the link, there is some good stuff there.

What is really puzzling though, if you believe their rationale for axing Chrome apps, is why they would need to carve out an exception for Chrome OS.

If Chrome apps have truly been superseded by browser and web standards then why are they still needed on Chrome OS? If they have extra functionality, then why remove them from the desktop? If they don't, then why keep them on Chrome OS?
I acknowledge and respect your preference for larger reform. I think that would be great.

In the meantime, why is it binary in your mind? Why is it larger reform or nothing?

Because this does have a life and death impact, I don't think it is silly, or a waste. The efforts, at worst have potential to move the larger reform forward, and at best potentially save a life.

> Refusal to report your private income (surrender your financial privacy) is punishable by prison.

Of course. You still have to file tax forms, and if you have the money you have to pay it. The situation I'm referring to is how not having the money to pay taxes is only a civil offense. Failure to file or filing fraudulently are, of course, offenses that risk jail time.

> This is false.

I suspect you're conflating filing the tax paperwork (i.e. 1040 and related forms) with the actual payment. These are separate requirements with different potential punishments for non-compliance.

> The government does not ask.

Obviously.
