Does google destructive automation for them self ?

Haha..what a utter garbage
Ah, ok.

Hopefully they don't nuke my account.

No scraping or mean stuff, it's all above board and using Google's APIs.

>Apple doesn't allow those who aren't Authorized Repair Centers to purchase genuine replacement parts or to have access to service manuals

And why shouldn't they be allowed to do that? They're not stopping anyone from reverse engineering the parts. They're not stopping anyone from doing the repairs and documenting them otherwise. I don't understand why anyone thinks that Apple should be compelled to willfully aid people that could harm their business model and their brand and to do it for free, no less.
7 Tips for Successful Self Learning – By Bradford Cross
I mean, lots of security improvements that make promises that they can keep. I'm not saying they have to do my pet idea; I'd have zero complaints if they announced they were pushing 2FA to more people, or a dozen other things.

But "your message will self-destruct in a week" is a flawed promise because a bad actor can snap a photo of your email, apply a zany photo filter, get it printed on 11x13" photo paper, buy a colorful frame for it, and hang it on the wall of their home for visitors to artistically enjoy for years. It's not meaningfully gone unless all copies of it are gone, and this feature won't ensure that.

"Request expiration," like I alluded to in my earlier message, makes a promise that's closer to reality. A feature like that that's honored by default will help when both sides want messages gone, without overpromising. Importantly, it doesn't involve trying to take away the recipient's power over data they possess, or fiddling with the open email ecosystem too much. Trying to take away users' control over their data is a tendency that has more bad potential outcomes than good, and so is breaking the remaining openness of email.

(There're also some potential practical issues. It's more of a pain to keep documentation you were harassed over this kind of email, for instance, though since the feature is badly broken it's still possible. It breaks recipients' very-long-standing expectations about how things work, too. Folks mentioned all that when Facebook talked about support for unsending messages recently.)

The less-bad possibility is that Google just said, "well, folks enjoy Snapchat and such" and sort of didn't go that deep into the weeds. The bad-bad case is what mtgx said, that they're conscious of the bugs but consider them features.

While it's generally an offence to disclose spent convictions, the press is still free to publish details about them. Right to be forgotten means that those looking for such articles are unlikely to find them.
I'm writing a small JavaScript engine that converts websites to JSON, and displays JSON as websites. Since an entire site is described in the same JSON file, the whole site is a single download, and it rebuilds pages in the browser instead of calling the server - much faster, especially on mobile.

If the browser had this small engine, it could render these sites natively.
Google should be forgotten totally.

> The WHATWG doc is a fine standard, backed up by real implementation.

It sucks badly. To begin with, it can't be called a proper standard. It is in their terminology "a living standard" which means it being changed on a whim. It is not being written as an "ideal prototype", but rather it is just a codification of current behaviour of how Google's devs managed to write Chrome's DOM Api, with with all bugs and workarounds.

From standpoint of a person capable of high technical reasoning, this approach is bad.

And... I can't believe that whatWG specs are being written by people hired by Google for 100k+ a year, they are not done on a level of what an any much professional technical writer should work on.
Amazon is not doing enough to address this issue. At some point someone will die from something that is counterfeit and Bezos will be in DC like Zuckerberg is today. Why they’re not being more proactive is beyond me.
I suggest you spend some time reading his pretty extensive set of high quality articles on many companies and aspects of AR.

This is an industry where outsiders have a very limited understanding of the serious serious problems in front of AR.

It's also an industry that is taking advantage of the very limited understanding of just about everyone not in it to hype things far beyond their capabilities.

If you care about AR in even an offhand way you should spend some time self educating and Karl Guttag's site is a good way to get started.

It's very interesting field but there are tremendous challenges in front of it and it serves no purpose to just assume the companies involved have actual magic leaps that solve the problems.

My daughters new macbook pro dropped in to some very wet grass and the authorised repair shop wanted $1400 (in New Zealand) for a new motherboard to repair the water damage, the insurance company said to get a new one which we did.

The shop made it difficult to to get the old one back as it was being replaced with a new one and they said the deal price for the new one included a discount for the old which by pointing out on the apple web site it obviously did not.

Once it was returned about 5 weeks after going in I switched it on and nothing, five minutes of googling found a blown fuse and its been fine ever since, that was 2015 and I have since fixed two others with similar easy to fix problems.

It saddens me because the hardware is well designed in these computers and as an electronics engineer I hate to think how many good computers go to landfill for the sake of a $5 repair.

A Lot of my favourite companies are in on the act not just Apple (And Tesla Most Annoyingly) and it proves to me that the engineers in these firms have lost the high ground and now have a large controlling input from their legal departments. Personally I would keep quiet and take the money too but wouldn't be a happy engineer.
Except of course that is not how it works. Almost every country has a way for companies who have a legitimate need to query the government for a 'clean past' on citizens.

That you can't get that question answered through Google is actually good. Just think about it: anybody can add content to Google, and making you look bad is as simple as making a page with a bunch of stuff about you that isn't actually true. And in the age of Google-without-checks that's how it works: a quick Google search has taken the place of a much more thorough background check for important positions and instead it is being applied to pizza delivery people as well.

The reocities project got a lot of mail over the years and a couple of the cases that stood out for me were people that had been targeted by individuals that had gone out of their way to make their lives much harder to the point of some of them thinking of ending their lives. And then there were all the childhood follies that people would rather have the internet forgets.

The 'right to be forgotten' is as much about being in control of the narrative about ourselves as anything else, and that there is some level of recourse here is good: the judge carefully weighed the evidence and decided in favor of the party that brought the suit, it could have gone the other way too.

It is also quite funny to me that on the one hand people argue that those who break the law and pay the price should then be forever haunted by this but at the same time hold corporations to a different standard by allowing them to break the law on an ongoing basis because it suits their purpose.
Tell me the different national-scale story, and why if that's not working, it's not the fault of the nation's law or systems of governance?
To me, that's a stellar example of why you probably shouldn't have people who don't even have a basic undergraduate "intro to stats" understanding of the subject doing your statistics work.

I get that it's a potential cause of confusion for someone who has no training in stats. But it's also jargon that describes a useful concept, and that is literally transparent if you do have enough understanding of the math to know what "linear" and "parameters" mean in this context.
This. It's even more obvious in linear algebra where mathematicians routinely start with the premise "Ax = b", even if there is no solution x that would satisfy the equation exactly.
That's a valid counterpoint and one I'd be open to discussing. However, my own experiences support the owner you're replying to.

I also possess a 2013 MBP with a Retina screen, proudly running well all these years later after many AAA games, overclocking, and innumerable HD repartionings. However, I broke my MBP's screen twice, and both times I called the closest Apple repair shop, and once the main "independent" repair ship in my city, and all three times the price came back as a nice, round $1000: nearly half of the original price!

So I looked around online (always had been vaguely aware of Right-to-Repair, and ifixit.org). After reading the excellent repair guide online and ordering what seemed a high-quality screen online, the repairs, which cost me no major headache or extreme difficulty, materially ended up costing around $300. Also, I want to mention that the aforementioned ifixit guide listed the highest difficulty grade to this type of repair.

So you are telling me, someone that had never engaged in computer or mechanical repairs before in his life, performed $700 of labor in just under an hour? No, the likelier answer is that Apple is simply rent-seeking in the sector of product repairs.
Who should be the final arbiter of "100% true"? Should it be an elected position or an appointed position?
It's both true and false. W3C does copy/paste some stuff, but it also seems to add some stuff (Especially related to accessibility and internationalisation) that the whatwg hasn't historically cared for.
There are commercially available FPGA JPEG transcoders?

High end FPGAs cost an arm and a leg, so I find it hard to believe they would be cost effective, though Intel seems to claim otherwise.
>Your complaint seems rather imagined to me.

Please show me a source where Apple sued someone (either an individual or a third-party repair center) simply for repairing their own device or a user's device on behalf of that user. You won't find it because that's not what Apple's complaint is here. People are conflating Apple's refusal to provide manuals and replacement parts without cost (and outside of their certification program) with the idea that Apple is trying to prevent people from repairing their own devices. That's not true in the slightest and it's straight-up misinformation.
I learned recently of the formal approvals needed at $LARGE_TECH_COMPANY that I don't think of (as an outsider) as being especially super-secretive to give an external presentation. I was probably more surprised than I should have been. But it did shock me a bit compared to where I am--which is admittedly pretty far on the open side of the spectrum.

You're assuming the wrong definition of threatening.

It's meant as "to announce as intended or possible".

That's true whether you're Asian or not.
>The appropriate move is that everybody on the market to deliver the schematics of the device to the purchaser

Why? Why is that appropriate when that's not the case for any other product or service that you can own?

There's nothing to reconsider if I don't find their behavior idiotic.

This is such a terrible argument, I'm just flabbergasted. If you were to rate Carlson/Hannity on aggregate truthfulness vs Lemon/Maddow, it's just not even a close comparison.

It almost seems Red State agenda-driven to even imply the barest hint of an equivalency. It's the same sh*tty logic that made Hilary and Trump look like equally bad options in the minds of much of the public.

I'm fairly cynical about the political system and media myself, but people like you, who insist on exercising an overly reductionist dismissiveness, are why our country is now being systematically defrauded and run into the ground by a lunatic con man.

The PCKompaniet web site states that they use genuine Apple parts.

Not saying you're wrong, but the whole topic of discussion here is that Russia is moving to block Telegram specifically for it's encryption.

So either they're actually doing this because they're scared of the people enabling encryption on this specific platform, or it's a publicity stunt because they already can access the data.
The website of the company that the article is about does not. They state (and it's archived since they've changed it since the court case) that they use genuine Apple parts for their repairs.

Edit - https://web.archive.org/web/20160327050030/http://www.pckomp...
That's fair. It's certainly true that business data associated with any high-profile company is going to be of a lot of interest, especially if it's something that a lot of people want to know but the company has refused to make public.

And listen to just about any earnings call and you'll hear lots of financial analysts trying to extract some more "color" from behind whatever numbers were released.

I'm just hearing about this "right to repair" thing. It sounds from this article that the "right to repair" also includes forcing Apple to sell their parts to be used by anyone for repair. If that is the case, I think it is going to far. I don't think Apple should be forced to sell their parts to anyone. But I do believe that anyone should be able to repair any item they own or pay anyone else to do it.
> The W3C actually does do some good work in other working groups; the CSS working groups seem to be working smoothly.

The W3C is also doing work in HTML at least too. If browser makers would actually participate as editors (like they do in CSS) then it would work just as well as the CSS working groups and others.

Those Thinkpads were built by IBM. Lenovo took a stallion of a brand and drove it face down into the ground.

I tried to stay with Lenovo, but after the endless waves of shitware, spyware and low quality hardware (!) I had to give up. Thinkpad’s great name is thanks to IBM, and perhaps, maybe, a bit of early Lenovo. Maybe.

If Lenovo is competing with anything, it’s with IBM.
I'm very confused by how you mean this. I don't see why the type of penalties used means the policies aren't for restricting access under your definitions. It seems abundantly clear to me that they restrict access by making it so immensely costly to traffic drugs (ie provide access to drugs) that few are willing to do it. This is criminal justice 101 stuff.

No need to be defensive. There's a ton of interesting and creative anime that does make it out of Japan as well[0], but as with any mainstream media, the anime industry is optimized for commerce and not art, so Sturgeon's Law tends to apply. Anyone with a Crunchyroll account, for instance, notices pretty quickly how much breadth and how little depth there is to anime.

The title is a bit misleading. It tells an interesting story about yogurt and Bulgaria, but yogurt has been around for literally thousands of years and it existed long before Bulgaria came to be even as a concept.

Most of the things mentioned (like traditional clay pots and the fermentation processes) are fairly common across the Balkans. Bulgaria certainly have their own local and interesting flavors but they didn't bring yoghurt to the world.
The Post is a movie about the Washington Post, which has a large undisclosed financial conflict of interest with the CIA. Jeff Bezos's AWS has a large CIA contract, and Bezos owns the Post. Getting a take about leakers in such a movie is not the best way to acquire a real picture of the world.

The CIA only locks up brown people and tortures them in Thailand (star). It refers US leakers to the FBI which throws them into lonely prisons, terrifies, and abuses them.

EDIT: (star) Or rather it did. That's what Gina Haspel, our new CIA director nominee, is famous for.

Autopilot has never been used to describe a system which does the entirety of control functions on its own. Ever. Autopilot is an aeronautics term, and every system ever described as autopilot has meant the ability to maintain course. That is all.

In actual fact, because Tesla's Autopilot has lane change capability, it actually goes above and beyond the conventional definition[1] of "Automatic Pilot".

Anyone with half a brain doesn't even expect a "hoverboard" in 2018 to actually hover, and that is a bastardization of the term. I'm honestly struggling to understand why people are having such a hard time with this.

Pump and Dumps make their money by selling the asset once it's price has been inflated. In this case, the money was made throughout the whole ICO by fraudulently selling a security.

How about a Fitness app for example? Yes we do need native apps for a bunch of other use cases you haven't mentioned. In-app purchases also help reducing the amount of ads you'd get on regular websites. I do agree with you in terms of performances and improvements with technologies like AMP, etc. We will get very close to a native app feel in a few years from now. Though, the real offline use cases like a fitness app again would require something fully controlled by the OS on mobile. Oh... security! there we go, another good reason why sandboxed apps are probably useful in certain cases.
It does a little bit. The FCC has teeth when it comes to maintaining their regulations. There's little else you can do to bring suits to your door faster than to operate an unlicensed transmitter.

I don't think ego plays no role but you can interpret it positively or negatively, and as a dominant factor or a secondary factor. For instance, if ego is predominant, then a leaker would find something to leak, but if it is secondary, it may motivate them to leak when the public interest is at stake when they might otherwise be afraid to.

And I'm fine with that. Generally I'd trust Apple's guidelines a lot more than J. Random Designer's, so for those that are not willing to do a lot of work, I'd really prefer if they chose a decent guideline rather than trying to fake it themselves. Yes, I know that there are those who are great with design, and I'm not discounting them: they should be free to do what they want, but I'd like for there to be a barrier to entry. If you really know what you're doing, sure, go on ahead; otherwise, stick to the default.

Well, automakers don't literally do that, but they might suggest you use the specific oil, coolant, or brake fluid that the dealer has. Sometimes much cheaper products are perfectly good and sometimes not. I have an old car that requires a particular type of automatic transmission fluid for the power steering system. People who don't research it and use generic "power steering fluid" say it can lead to leaking seals. The wrong type of radiator coolant is said to lead to all sorts of problems too.

The fact that there is a conflict of interest and the manufacturer will charge more doesn't mean that there aren't real issues.
