It is. W3C HTML5 standards are merely following/copying what WHATWG and the browser makers are doing, with little actual relevance.

It should be easy to construct Swift code that is much than its ObjC equivalent by failing to account for copy-on-write:

So Swift is faster than ObjC by a constant factor, until you run into this subtle issue (which didn't really exist in ObjC), and then it's suddenly slower by a full O(n). Whether that's a good trade-off depends on how good of a language lawyer you are. It's C vs C++ all over again...

The W3C version is a sporadically updated, bad-faith fork of the WHATWG version, created to maintain the fiction that it "owns" HTML, which it deems necessary to maintain the organisation's standing (and funding) in the eyes of other organisations and governments.
Ah, that's interesting. I was referring to the claim that they revealed confidential information about Cry Engine, but that explains the meat of this lawsuit. I didn't read through the whole thing.

I'm not a big follower of Star Citizen and frankly even with all of the evidence presented I'm not sure what the outcome should rightfully be, but it sounds to me like CIG is knee deep right now.

What are you actually arguing, other than pointing out that he was acquitted? A jury's determination of a person's guilt in a particular case doesn't tell you what the law is, or what it ought to be.

Edit: gnode, that’s not true. Only determinations of law, which are only made by judges, are precedent. A jury verdict, which only determines questions of fact, is not precedent at all.

In most cases i read about it's more a matter of the current copyright holder versus the facilitator. Not a matter of the creator versus the actual downloader.

That is exactly the weird paradox that has been going on, especially with the infamous Pirate Bay.

The users think they are a super server with super hero admins that "give back to the man".

The justice system thinks some super tech criminal is earning millions. They think that, because organisations like the MPAA give out an estimate on what "could have been earned if all those people would actually pay full price for the content they are now consuming".

Numbers are magic.. especially if there's a currency sign before them.
I think a lot of the speculation was based on the initial size of the attack (620-665gbps).

Do have a business plan put together yet? What will be your costs? Servers platform, bandwidth, database, administrative (you need paid)? How are going to make money when everything is voluntary? Please talk with a mentor at the link below:

If you factor all that in you you have to charge 10%-20% to fund the base services?. If have an abusive client or contractor are you going let them go to harass? Yes, then you'll have low overhead but a bad reputations for not protecting your people. No, then you'll look restrictive and have a higher administrative cost.

Don;t forget admistrative costs. Your time costs money. It also keeps you away from working on contract.

Your point about 'designed to make the owner a bunch of money': you do realize that most of these site work on 1-10% profit margin with the owner putting in 60-100 hour a week for 5-10 years before they turn a profit if ever. Here's a good read on that:

Given I wasn't inclined to do so, after trying to explain how wrong this practice is, trying to escalate it, in the end I've meet the similar wall of 'we are sorry you feel this way, can we help you with something else?'.

If the defendant isn't wealthy after distributing all that content, is the content worth millions? Or is the government-enforced business model worth millions?
Regarding the confidential information:

> 51 On August 26, 2017, news reports announced a partnership between Defendants and a third party developer, Faceware Technologies. Upon information and belief, as a result of the partnership, Faceware received access to the underlying technology for CryEngine (including computer source code). Defendants did not disclose this third party developer's involvement to Crytek, let alone obtain Crytek's prior written approval. This was entirely in breach of the GLA.

GeekWire’s temporary HQ2 is coming to Pittsburgh. Is Amazon far behind?
You can blame that on the studios, they make licensing content extremely complex.

Streaming services (Amazon, Netflix, etc) would love for you to be able to access their catalog from anywhere (as you can see since Amazon allows you to watch their own content from anywhere) but are limited by contractual clauses and/or exorbitant fees, which make this sort of deal not worth it.

Studios are used to a territory-based model instead of a globalised market, since that's pretty much how cable works, so when you negotiate content with a studio the contract will tell exactly which territories you're allowed to stream the content from.
It is victim blaming, but some countries obviously deem that acceptable behavior, to the point of putting it into law.

What's the point of removing features such as "menu" from HTML standard? If there are browsers supporting it and webpages using it, would Mozilla (or Google or Microsoft) actually remove those features just because newest standard said so? I mean: marquee was deprecated long ago, yet browsers still render it correctly.
If it was relevant to the discussion, and you actually included some of the content in the discussion (i.e. quoted the relevant parts with a link to the fuller article for people who want to check greater detail, rather than just a link) so people didn't have to jump off-site to read your contribution, then I don't see a problem with that.
I don't use this but you could argue that it's useful to have a standard encapsulation of failure/missing that isn't null? Where some situation means that null already has a meaning, the alternative is to create a wrapper class for your situation (not general), or a general wrapper class which is basically what this is. So it's not completely useless whilst kind of crippled by no pattern matching?

Edit: although I guess that just using a tuple would be better for this maybe
>but it won't be attracting people to use CryEngine over others anytime soon.

Seriously. I can't imagine anyone seeing this lawsuit and reading about the terms of these contracts and thinking, "Yeah, CryEngine sounds like a good idea."

Lumberyard is far more likely to have good licensing terms, plus Amazon integration, and Unreal Engine is a serious competitor with very clear licensing terms and pretty extreme access to the engine code itself.

IMO, Crytek should take a deal as soon as its offered, here.
It's hard to prove but there is still a dirty smell around it all.

The relevance it that W3C HTML5 standards are supposed to already be stable everywhere, while WHATWG and the browser is a guessing game of what actually works and behaves the same way everywhere.
Yeah, but its akin to banning drugs through the mail. Unless we open and inspect everything mailed into a country (which would be a massive make work program of the likes we've rarely seen), you can't stop it all. AliExpress, Deal Extreme and eBay are going to keep selling goods with fake CE and UL labels that are substandard, despite regulations to the contrary.

If your country does need a make work program, hiring many postal inspectors wouldn't be the worst make work program yet. I think the TSA wins that :P

Oh yes? Copyright infrigement is pretty much a victimless crime - nobody is removed from any of their property - at most they might be losing some monetary compensation, but that's something that can be evaluated and compensated if that is the case.

Not sure how you can justify putting folks in jail based on that fact.

How anyone competent allows them for doing it is unimaginable, there must be fraud and corruption involved.

Nope. Many people cannot get credit cards with credit limits that high. You are talking about the kind of credit available to someone who is earning a reasonable salary and has a long credit history. A person who meets that description is not likely to need to move for financial reasons in the first place.

Also, it is just not a good idea to borrow $15,000 on multiple credit cards at high interest rates when there is no guarantee that you will earn sufficient income to pay that money back in your new location.

It's easy to give out this kind of trash advice to other rich(ish) people on the internet. I wonder if you'd dare tell someone who was actually in the kind of situation you're describing that they ought to incur $15,000 in credit card debt and move to the middle of nowhere.

>are people upset

In general, people in America really aren't upset about the trend of dying malls. They just choose to shop elsewhere such as the newer open-air shopping centers or online places line Amazon. The resulting decline of malls is just collateral damage and most have no emotional attachment about it. (Note that the CNN article isn't reporting on any sentiments about it. It's just relaying the economic reality that more stores are closing which lead to more dead malls.)

Also, suburban malls have been in decline since the mid 1980s long before Amazon came on the scene. Amazon is just accelerating the decline.

>What makes those malls so... relevant?

They're less relevant now but malls were a phenomenon in the USA because of cars and cheap suburban land away from city downtowns. Before the World Wars, Americans shopped in downtown "main streets".[1] The rise of car ownership by middle-class families in the 1950s enabled suburban single-family homes which fueled the rise of the malls.

> The W3C is for web authors. It presents a more stable recommendation and provides advice (based on research) for authors.

Web authors usually use MDN instead, because it serves that purpose in a much better way. (Note that despite the name MDN is not Mozilla specific but a cross-browser resource, and that Microsoft and Google recently joined MDN.)

> The WHATWG is for browser vendors. It's in a constant state of flux as new changes get proposed and those proposals get changed through implementation.

The W3C recommendation is no different in that regard, they also describe stuff that's not fully implemented in all browsers yet. But the WHATWG version is more up to date, so you'll notice much earlier that the new feature you want to depend on will be abandoned or changed.
Some thoughts about industrial wireless
> Movies, while extremely popular, don't generate that much money: in 2016, total box office results in the US were under $12bn [1]. That's the entire industry.

It's underestimated since it's a global business, plus they there's a very long tail for every movie to turn a profit, DVD/BR releases, TV, and online reselling, renting, etc... and the fact movies remain their property for 75 years+, and for some companies like Disney they retain the copyright forever, and keep sellings goods like cupcakes as well.
