foresees is perfectly fine in that sentence.
Only increased potential cost. It is absolutely unlikely that the EU will fine huge sums for small transgressions, or even fine at all.

And do so in a computer you control, not in one controlled by someone else. I'm not talking only about having physical possession of the hardware, but also controlling what instructions that hardware executes. i.e. run free software.

The Amazon 1984[0] case comes to mind, where not running free software meant losing your data.

Thank you for the explanation.

Reading his CV (http://www.drive5.com/papers/resume.html), it seems that even though he is a peer reviewed "Computational Biologist", his PhD is in Theoretical High-Energy Physics, who became a systems developer.
This is the biggest announcement for me, because I hope it pushes the rest of the western market to standardize on multiple sims.
Huge companies don't necessarily want this system to remain any more. Costs have increased to the point that it's now impacting their ability to compete internationally. Their competitors based in other countries can undercut their pricing due to lower employee healthcare costs.
To that I say:

If you think it's that easy, you personally should be the one to do the work to change it.

Now that sounds incredibly snarky, for that I apologise. But it does sum up a lot of people's thoughts towards it, and it's no more snarky that the typical twitter driveby of 'it's just a find/replace'

Anyone who has actually read the author's explanation (not saying you haven't), knows that he would choose different terminology in hindsight, but the work involved in updating documentation, and maintaining protocol compatibility that allows redis to keep its backwards compatibility features it aims for is non-trivial.

Not to mention all the documentation, and also the ongoing responsibility to third party code and infrastructure which relies on the ecosystem, that has to update along with this.

That's all work, constant, ongoing work.

Should they still make this change? Maybe, master/slave isn't exactly accurate.

But my point is that talk is cheap, and the loudest voices seem to be the folks with no willingness to put skin in the game to change it.

If you truly believe it's so trivial, why won't you help with the labour, both initial and ongoing?
When I was in college, conversation tended to flow pretty smoothly from asking people about their majors and what sort of job they hoped to get after college.

(maybe the other party was bored by these conversations, idk, but they seemed to happen pretty smoothly)

One of the things I noticed as I got older, is that for any number of reasons, lots of people wind up spending 40 hours a week doing something other than what they hoped and dreamed they would be doing.

And they tend to not enjoy talking that much about it when they're off the clock.

People will tell you about what they do, but lots of people aren't interested in answering follow up questions, or making conversation about their job flow very smoothly; often the conversation gets stilted pretty quickly.
I'd be interested in knowing more about how this particular connection was made. Do you have any educated theories on how the message was inferred?
Maybe this feature isn't a good fit for your organization?

But based on what you've just asked, I'd definitely never create anything like what you're working with because it sounds like ANY addition to your infrastructure is problematic.
They bought the company ~3 years ago that made a camera with post-processing DoF tech: LinX.
> If they won't sell when it's worthless, I'd personally take it as a given that they'd litigate if it ever becomes viable or profitable

That's a great point and I think that collapsing that uncertainty was the lingering reason why I loved the idea, that I couldn't quite put the finger on.

I kind of worry that the worst case scenario is management says ok now, but later changes mind when it's turns up well, but if it's in writing, then whatever.
The showmanship really feels like it's run out.

Even when it was the post-Jobs Ive and Cook it was still captivating, but this is just tiresome.

I wonder how it compares with Ext JS, a semi-forgotten framework which was, among other aspects, very desktop-centric (in a very powerful way IMO)..
Pirated copies are still better than purchased ones. Not much else to say. Streaming services and stores can (and do) make stuff disappear; regular video files are just regular video files.
Everyone thought people were going to make tampon jokes about the iPad Pro ("maxipad"), but as far as I know it hasn't caught on. I don't think this will either, for the same reason. People who buy the phone won't call it that because they sunk so much cost into it. The only ones who might call it the iPhone excess are die hard android users, but those don't communicate much with iPhone users (at least not in such an aggressive way in real life, outside forums), so the phrase won't get any traction.
You're assuming that people know your (true) identity, rather than only knowing a false identity you've created for your public persona.
I worked on an algorithmic trade platform for an options broker/market maker. We bought rack space next to the ISE exchange's racks, which comes at a premium over rack space ACROSS THE ROOM.
Working in enterprise software I unfortunately agree with that statement.

Our product is terrible and yet we can signing all of these giant contracts. It is a bit disheartening to realize as long our stuff "almost works" and we keep pushing out features then we will keep growing.
Thanks nodesocket, I love you!

There _used_ to be many dialects spoken in France, like in most European countries.

They really disappeared in earnest at the end of the 19th century when school was made compulsory, and exclusively in French, with children being punished for speaking any other language.

Homes are cheap by definition because not enough people want them in the area. The closest thing we have to that is the Military Industrial Complex and setting up locations to ensure votes. They have the most influence per dollar by going to areas which have fewer other jobs.

Come on
There are three main ways to do P2P content distribution. One is like BitTorrent, where you only host the content you yourself wanted. This has obvious privacy issues. Anyone can tell what you read/view based on what you host.

The second is you distribute content to random hosts, who don't even know what it is (so they can't associate it with whoever is downloading it). This solves the privacy problem and has adequate performance but it only works if you don't have bad laws that impose liability on people even if they aren't knowingly hosting something illegal. Otherwise the government can prosecute a couple of random innocent people and put enough fear into everyone else that they move back to Facebook.

The third is onion routing. Then it's hard to shut down specific hosts (you don't know who they are), but it's slow and if your laws are sufficiently bad it can be made illegal to use it at all even if you aren't doing anything wrong. At that point you go down the road into Tor Project vs. Chinese Firewall, but that's just a disgraceful way to have to operate your communities in a democracy. And for every bug an innocent person goes to prison.
The Vivo Nex can do this too btw. It's a cool feature though.
We have this feature to be implemented in the near future!
4 day battery life (I charge mine when the indicator shows about two thirds to half), call quality seems good to me, predictive text works like it always did. The camera is low quality but enough for snapping information (e.g. web address and phone number in a second hand shop window over the weekend when they were closed).

I've had mine for about three months and the paint is beginning to flake off the keys. And the key legends have lowish contrast.

The music player goes for hours with little battery impact and it will drive my big Sony headphones.

But why only pay for software once? Why not make it a subscription model? Oh and while you're at it, why not add tracking and adware to your linux app as well?

I think the way the software economy works today has a lot of malincentives. I don't think simply transplanting that same economy to linux would solve any of the problems.
"We want people to install our phone app. Lets tell them they just got a message, people get messages all the time so we'll probably be right, and it'll seem like the feature is already working so all users have to do is click a button."
And with that system, you trade the owner (capitalist) with a different owner (government). The proletariat are still in pretty much the same position.

And there's also the issue of communism the economic system, and communism the social control system. Economically speaking, does have some justifications. But the social control is more than willing to kill and imprison people for disagreeing with the economic system.

Capitalism also has similar types of flaws, and its own directly related deaths it causes. The difference is that capitalism the social control system blames individuals for systemic issues, including death and injury.
You're right -- I thinking more of a clinical context, which is definitely the wrong frame for this. From what I've read online, it only seems to detect AFib, which is obviously useful since I think it's the most common abnormal rhythm. Maybe it's only able to detect AFib since it's just on the wearer's wrist? I wonder if there are plans to make little wireless sensors pads to mimic having more leads. That'd be pretty cool

One possibility (remarked on by @Spooky23 above also) is that you may be able to use a pre-tax healthcare spending account (or similar vehicle - there are a couple) to pay for the device? Similarly, a doctor might be able to prescribe one.
I am not giving you a prescription for how to be liked. In fact I can assure you that some people will like you and some will not.

I'm saying that though failure is unavoidable, a performance of social correctness is more failure prone then being genuine.
Russian Federation was never like western democracies. It began long time before 2012 in Russia. Mikhail Khodorkovsky was arrested in 2003, because he wanted to oppose current status-quo in politics. State media are propaganda machines for the state a lot longer too. You can't really compare EU bill to Russia situation, they are at totally different level. The bill you are mentioning was just introduced to keep up with modern media censorship in Russia. Papers and TV were censored a long time ago.

>I am not a lawyer, but I am pretty sure that is civil court, not criminal.

Nope, it can be both civil and/or criminal, it's only a matter of whether it is a private party or an official prosecutor pursuing the case:

https://bochettoandlentz.com/criminal-fraud-vs-civil-fraud-w...
"..the basic difference between criminal fraud and civil fraud lies in who is pursuing legal action in the case. A single act of fraud can be prosecuted as a criminal fraud by prosecutors, and also as a civil action by the party that was the victim of the misrepresentation..."

>>I do not consider TripAdvisor the common well of society.

It is a business that earns its living by using one of the common wells of society.

Think for just 1 second -- if no one trusted anyone, a business like TripAdvisor could never even consider existing -- no one would do anything but laugh at the concept that another stranger could give them advice that could be useful or accurate. It is obviously not the only well, it is just one locus among many, which happens to earn it's living entirely by the existence of trust and willingness of people to help others.

The jailed person is specifically trying to earn his living by putting poison in that well. Some penitence might do him some good, and at least does the rest of us good by removing him from this activity for a while, and perhaps deterring him and others from this anti-social behaviour.

Why do you think anti-social behaviour is OK? (serious question)
"Max" is the new "Plus", it designates the larger phone in the lineup. And the X/XS is about the same screen size as the old Plus (slightly larger at 5.8 v 5.5) so the entire lineup was bumped up a screen size.

I expect the yet unannounced 3rd phone in the lineup (apparently "Xr") will be the same screen size as the old regular, in a smaller package, and a replacement of sorts for the SE.

edit: well I was wrong, apparently it sits between the XS and the Max, with completely different capabilities…
The article frustratingly doesn't make clear what happens if you had downloaded the movie.

If you download the movie, and it's removed from Apple's library, and you try to play it, are you able? Or does it say, "Sorry, you are not authorized"?

This would make a big difference for me because I've downloaded every Apple purchase for years onto my Drobo. If Apple prevents playback in these cases, then I may as well delete them all and save terabytes of disk space.
No. It wasn't the internet or cellphones or gaming. This is a 20th century problem. Previous societies had rigid systems of etiquette. We don't.

One upon a time if someone wanted to start a conversation with a stranger there was a clear and practiced way of doing so. You could easily identify whether a person was of a similar class and background to yourself. Then there were acceptable and unacceptable times and places for such conversations. It was rigid, formal and often evil (racism etc) but it gave everyone guidelines.

Vestiges of this still exist today. Two doctors or lawyers know how to identify and address each other. Certainly the military has formal rules. It isn't about common backgrounds, it is about knowing exactly how the other person expects to be addressed and how they will respond to you. Such knowledge makes starting that first conversation easier.
Note that Nils Torvalds voted against the directive today.

So the publisher, through a platform, issues a bid request to an exchange with a lot of information in it. The parameters of that bid request contain all kinds of context like the site, the browser or device, etc. Critically, it also includes the cookie. The way GDPR has been interpreted by Google (btw Google is considered to be overly conservative in its approach by the adtech world): Cookies can only be passed by publishers who get consent to collect and pass them, and they must get consent for each adtech vendor. Furthermore, Google will not pass those cookies to anyone else because it can't be sure that the vendor receiving them was given consent by the user. Other platforms haven't done that last part; and some publishers are even saying that they refuse to collect affirmative consent. This is because people interpret it differently. From my reading, Brave seems to be trying to drive for a new interpretation: it's not only a matter of cookies, which is the parameter associated with a user, it's a matter of ALL the info even when it's not related to tracking a single user. My guess is that Eich's hoping to get a court to adopt this new stricter interpretation, but if that were to happen it would mean that the regulators' guidance thus far would be moot and all of the mitigations the adtech world has gone through to prepare would be out the window.
I just wish they would stop saying "the most advanced X ever made". Every new revision of a product is the most advanced version of the product.
If it was just censorship maybe, but this is also trying to tax them on essentially all content they link to. No way is google taking this one sitting down, if it actually goes into effect expect first google, then probably others (Facebook almost certainly) to slap blanket bans on all of EU with a nice little landing page helpfully explaining exactly what everyone should complain about to their local EU representative.

Doesn't this have case-law re: the DMCA's domain-name seizure process?

The US is perfectly willing to enforce its own rulings on foreign companies operating solely abroad, at the point at which those companies' goods/services enter the US.

So why wouldn't we just assume that every country is going to do the same; and so pre-emptively self-regulate if we want to do business in foreign markets with differing laws?

Canada has every right to say that it will block Google from Canadians accessing it unless/until they censor those pages, not just for Canadians, but for everybody. Given that, and given that Google knows that they could do that, what options are Google left with (assuming they care about remaining available to Canadians)?
Nowhere there does it actually confirm that it's Nokia or Ericsson (or anyone else for that matter).
Wow, this was a trip down memory lane. In fact it was Frontpage 98 that inspired me to try out my hand at building the web, back in 1999. I was just 10 years old back then. However it sparked my interest, because I could create something. Creating a webpage about my then most favorite game Commandos: Behind Enemy Lines, publishing it and receiving my first ever e-mail from someone in the UK about a spelling error resulted in an experience that struck me so deeply that I became a web developer. Almost 20 years later I still love what Microsoft FrontPage 98 allowed me to discover.

Salary is irrelevant to it. We're talking about how it's uncomfortable and generally not advisable to say "well I own a canoe that's painted up for duck hunting" when everyone else it talking about their yachts. It's a class thing, not a money thing.
The more EU critic your website/you/your consumers are the more risk for this potential cost.

They will use this in any way they can. Just because a few say this is not the intent of the law, I have yet to hear a court ruling that minds the intent of the law and not what the law says. (On a EU level that is)

How exactly does that work?

Does it provide premium access to multiple file hosting sites ala 4shared and FileFactory? Or is it just a way to download free from those sites easier?

Edit: tested it out, that's pretty cool.
> And yes, this article is patently ridiculous. Way to overthink something that should be about relaxing and having fun.

Well, I found that article incredible useful.

Like, one of the main reasons I'm depressed right now is because I just can't relax. I'm away from family and friends and apparently don't know the basics of human interaction.

I'm just grateful that there are people overthinking simple things out there so I can catch up and fix some of my anxieties.

Bypassing DRM is against the TOS, but is not illegal in general, especially for things like personal use.

I would also like to point out that laws only work when they are enforceable. And a great way of getting rid of a law is for all of society to just break it, and encourage others to break it.

When everyone breaks a law, it becomes harder and harder to enforce, and is an effective measure of eliminating it. If not dejure, then at least by defacto.
It does this by default without a subscription service in the event of a detected fall if you do not respond to an alert within a certain amount of time.
