s3-amazonaws.com? That's not amazon, that's just some random domain.
Sure, Amazon is also under special scrutiny here, but also has to my knowledge never made a strong public statement admitting any of this ever happened and how it has been corrected. They certainly look like they don't particularly care.
Europeans know where they're from, their biggest question is what do you call the place they're from. "The conglomerate of free counties of supreme holiness", or "the post WWII ethnic safe districts masquerading as countries"

You're only thinking of one half of the problem. The rich people who are targeted more vigorously will be able to fight back. But the poor people who are left living in communities where the laws aren't being applied will have to live with the results of lack of enforcement. It sucks living in a place where the police will not punish offenders because it's not worth the effort.

When I'm on a strict diet I still enjoy the company of my friends when they're drunk and I'm sober. The only frustrating part is that soda water and diet soda kinda suck.

Come to think of it, when I was younger and worked some Saturday mornings I used to be sober at parties often.

You've obviously are not familiar with a long and proud history of communist-made vehicles just like that that served their "market" for decades (e.g. the Trabant)...
Buckets are at s3.amazonaws.com, the domain mentioned is s3-amazonaws.com.

You could certainly argue if Comodo doesn't catch stuff like this then what value are they bringing, but it isn't as serious as the title implies.

- IBM sees non-tech companies might get into drones
- they identify potential markets where drones would be useful
- they spend minimal resources developing a "prototype" and file for a patent
- Starbucks and Dunkin Donuts come along with coffee delivery drones ~3 years later
- IBM shakes down Starbucks and Dunkin Donuts for $x.00 per delivery, now has new stream of extortion recurring revenue

Got a great idea? We love it! We'll take 40% of every unit sold. Good luck!
1) prevent anybody else from patenting it.
2) collect royalties of somebody else decides to build such a thing.
3) bump up their patent count.
The USA has a lot of room to improve for sure. But solutions that work for Finland, which is a small, ethnically homogeneous, high trust society, simply won't map to the USA which is the opposite of all those things.
I think there are restrictions to forbid apps from arbitrarily forcing users to have an account.

Apple can request in some cases that there is a way to use your application without any account, or that you provide a signup form inside the app. There are exceptions, but I assume you have to justify them to Apple aside from "I don't want to pay your fees".

Basically, the rules are a bit more complex I think and they cover a number of potential loopholes.
To put it nicely, CFA is extremely unfriendly to the LGBTQ community.
So do words like "best". Is there anything better than it? Then it's not the best.
Fortunately, this is not the actual S3 domain, but one that is very similar. s3<dash>amazonaws instead of s3<dot>amazonaws.

Regardless, this is still shady.

Number 1 seems to be a pattern that I see coming out of text books where the author begins the chapter by giving you an anti-pattern or okay solution to a working problem and then through the course of the chapter introduces the reader to a better solution. It's a pattern that I've always found frustrating since rarely would the "incorrect" solution have occurred to me if the author hadn't suggested it.
I'd heard a few years ago about a random company called Chic-fil-a and that their founders were Christians and one of them said some things defending marriage that stirred up controversy. Then promptly forgot about them.

Then a couple years ago, one showed up near my work, and I heard they had good chicken. The first thing I noticed about CFA was how their employees acted. I was impressed! Then, I downloaded and installed the app and had a fantastic experience. I was impressed! And their food is great!

Certainly, I agree with the ideology of their founders.
However, that is independent of the fact that that I've been impressed! When I go to CFA, I wonder HOW they get me through the line so fast. I appreciate how they've trained their employees in good-old-fashioned southern hospitality. As far as I've seen, at this location, they hire friendly people who care about taking care of the customer.

So, back on topic... how DO they get me through the line so fast?
I agree that good transit is the key to affordable housing. Those kinds of apartments aren't located in dense neighborhoods: they're in the Bronx, Queens and Brooklyn. Places are well-connected to Manhattan by transit. Places that would be impractical otherwise.

The article "XML Sucks" containing that Ward Cunningham image is interesting:

http://harmful.cat-v.org/software/xml/

It includes this classic James Clark quote:

“Any damn fool could produce a better data format than XML” – James Clark 2007-04-06

Which Tim Bray discussed in "Any Damn Fool":

https://www.tbray.org/ongoing/When/200x/2007/04/08/James-Cla...

Tim Bray recommended James Clark's Random Thoughts about "Do we need a new kind of schema language?": "If you’re doing original work around the intersection of messaging and programming, you need to read it and think about it."

http://blog.jclark.com/2007/04/do-we-need-new-kind-of-schema...

James Clark writes:

>Some people propose solving the XML-processing problem by adopting an XML-centric processing model, for which the leading technologies are XQuery and XSLT2. The fundamental problem here is the XQuery/XPath data model. I'm not criticizing the WGs' efforts: they've done about as good a job as could be done given the constraints they were working under. But there is no way it can overcome the constraint that a data model based around XML and XSD is just not very good data model for general-purpose computing. The structures of XML (attributes, elements and text) are those of SGML and these come from the world of markup. Considered as general purpose data structures, they suck pretty badly. There's a fundamental lack of composability. Why do we need both elements and attributes? Why can't attributes contain elements? Why is the type of thing that can occur as the content of an element not the same as the type of thing that can occur as a document? Why do we still have cruft like processing instructions and DTDs? XSD makes a (misguided in my view) attempt to add a OO/programming language veneer on top. But it can't solve the basic problems, and, in my view, this veneer ends up making things worse not better.

>I think there's some real progress being made in the programming language world. In particular I would single out Microsoft's LINQ work. My doubts on this are with its emphasis on static typing. While I think static typing is a invaluable within a single, controlled system, I think for a distributed system the costs in terms of tight coupling often outweigh the benefits. I believe this is less of the case if the typing is structural rather than nominal. But although LINQ (or at least newer versions of C#) have introduced some welcome structural typing features, nominal typing is still thoroughly dominant.

>In the Java world, there's been a depressing lack of innovation at the language level from Sun; outside of Sun, I would single out Scala from EPFL (which can run on a JVM). This adds some nice functional features which are smoothly integrated with Java-ish OO features. XML is fundamentally not OO: XML is all about separating data from processing, whereas OO is all about combining data and processing. Functional programming is a much better fit for XML: the problem is making it usable by the average programmer, for whom the functional programming mindset is very foreign.

I think Creative Commons licenses are much better known than Apache Commons. (This is the first time I've heard of the latter, for example.)
My parents didn't have a lot of extra money for things, so I rarely asked for the moon. I only asked for things I thought they could provide. But when they couldn't (not enough $), they couldn't and that was how it was explained. "I know you want this, I want you to have it, but I can't." As a child that is disappointing but understandable.

For my children, when they ask for something I'm rarely not able to buy it for them. Instead of saying I can't, I have to say, "I won't" because, well...many reasons but mainly because kids shouldn't have every damn thing that catches their eye. But it is a harder case to make. I'm telling them it is in my power to give them what they ask, but I won't do it.

That is harder to do.
Our case is similar, albeit smaller, and we're only at the stage of considering the next step (from static, webpacked JSON.) Our application relies on several regionalised hefty product+metadata JSON files. Data changes, while infrequent (~2 per week), involve republishing. Especially for the (recently-added) mobile app, large downloads are a UX issue. Changes aren't easily isolated by file segregation, and can cross-cut, although of course we're looking at the right level of granularity (we do have a product hierarchy and price dimension.) The apps already rely on REST for a smaller part of their dynamic functionality, so providing the main bulk through CDN-cached REST is an option; GraphQL was superficially attractive but the CDN issues are a showstopper for adopting it, for now.
Police shouldn't have incentives to increase revenue.
This. Nearly every GraphQL schema I've seen is a logical representation of the domain, just like how we typically approach schema design in OO apps. This is probably fine in many contexts where your GraphQL endpoint is consumed by other internal services.

However, if your GraphQL endpoint is used by consumer/public/external clients I feel like we need to give everyone permission to make a Schema matching the View Model, not the Model (proper). In practice GraphQL works quite nicely as a layer to translate the model proper into the view model. This makes MVVM much more attractive for SPA's than in object->relational worlds prior.
The point is, "for fun and profit" is such an overused and utterly boring cliché. Meaningful titles are pleasant to read and shows that the writer has put some effort to bring clarity into what they're trying to convey. (As someone who sits on a major open source conference talk panel, I cringe when I see one of these clichés slapped into the title without much thought. I politely suggest to rephrase to convey more "signal" in the title.)
I guess you can answer that by considering this question: what do you prefer, a government regulating your market, or a company?
This is great in fact. I like the idea how it can be used to avoid data duplication.

Most of the talent I know took a step to the right (like myself) and are working with WebRTC. It's all the same stuff! Just more signalling layers on top of RTP channel management.

It's not that they have to give information, like name, age, SSN, address, etc., it's that they have to answer very private questions about their lives, like who they are dating, how often they have sex, do they use condoms, do they have medical conditions, etc. It's not right to make someone answer these questions just to survive and help their kids survive, because they have literally zero other options.

The problem with DDT was that while it didn't cause significant problems for people (at the concentrations used), it caused huge problems for birds (thinned shells). At the same time it wiped out the mosquito carrying malaria along the gulf coast. The ecologic side effects were terrible, but in many cases human risk may well have been reduced.

Some asbestos is extremely dangerous, some is not (it depends on their chemical composition and microstructure)... using the same name for all of them is not helpful to safety, nor is declaring all of them dangerous.

I have already pinged my co-founder to discuss this further.

Question: what prompted you to start this?
Oh I see, you were arguing that "workload" meaning "number of things they did" was the same, not that "workload" meaning "number of things they needed to do" was the same.
It's about the audience. Snapchat advertisers don't want to be associated with adult content. Adult entertainers are catering to their paying audience.
"Survival values" is just right, and key. I've lived this divide (1st gen Russian), and as a teenager could not comprehend why my parents constantly pressured me to study physics and maths, which did not come naturally to me, and why they did not see any value in my achievements in the humanities, or even recognise them as work at all.

As a young adult I understood that from their perspective, physics and maths was the most sure-fire way for Soviet Jews to gain a modicum of stability and security in a country whose industrial and military sectors were prestigious and financed above all else. But I still resented them for not truly internalising that they were raising their child in a different culture and a different economic reality.

As an adult, I eventually came to see how a life that started in Stalinist Russia had robbed my parents of the cultural and emotional intelligence that would have allowed them to empathise with a child growing up in such radically different circumstances. And how instead of those intelligences, there was an unsleeping instinct for survival and a permanent anxiety, knots that are just starting to show signs of loosening in what are probably the last years of their lives.
When physicists say "estimate" in this context, they mean "take into account this fourth-order tiny effect by using an approximate theory of said effect with accuracy of a few percent, and then use 1.2 meters when it's really 1.0 so you overestimate by 10%".

It's like when you take a caliper and measure the width of an object, you typically neglect the error due to thermal expansion of the caliper since it's hotter/colder than when it was marked with gradations. If you're really anal about uncertainty (like these guys), you'd estimate the effect of this expansion and say "a conservative estimate says this contributes an uncertainty of 0.0003 mm".
I think the reason which the author glossed over is because it reduces the number of RTTs between the front and back end. On desktop, you typically have a much better internet connection where packets are less likely to get dropped and will generally arrive faster meaning that the performance impact of having a large number of RTTs is much less than on mobile.
At this point it's probably too early to say if they're going to produce it or not.

> I never really understood why cars have the outer finish of an indoor piece of art. My car have scratches from my fingernails near the door handles. What's up with that? Should I wear white gloves when I approach the car?

I don't understand why people even care. My bicycle has scratches all over the frame, and other users seem to don't care either and park their bicycle against mine without worrying about scratches.

Also, I don't understand car bumpers. They look sturdy, but one small parking error and they're basically destroyed beyond repair.

My main message to designers: don't make products that look sturdy but are in fact fragile!
It seems like several people are discussing whether you can use the OS to prevent the sentry instance from disclosing its own data. You're talking about using the OS to prevent pivoting from that sentry instance to compromise something else.

That said, I'd think it's pretty obvious that you can only address the second part, so it's what's interesting. If your application speaks HTTP, then the OS can't do that much to keep it from doing stupid things over HTTP.
This is so counter intuitive when patents like this are awarded. So if someone wants to make a drone that delivers tea/coffee they pay royalty to IBM but is it ok if they deliver paper supplies or food?

In future this has total implications for drinks/soda companies and ironically IBM manufactures none. This is a perfect example of how patent system is totally broken and needs some kind of change.

No, you're not a conspiracy theorist, that's exactly how the patent system works. Many companies who won't admit it in public are knowingly engaged in exactly this practice. It's anti-competitive, it stinks, everyone knows it, and nothing is being done about it.
