I think it wouldn’t be so bad if everyone forced their major contractors to share IP. Sure, it would be harder for a vendor to own a market for decades, but is that really a bad thing?
Snapchat are trying to become facebook. Whatsapps plan was to charge people money to use their service. Its amyones guess if that would have been successful, but it would have been far nobler than advertising.
Yes. Back in jdk6 days there were more problems requiring oracle jdk, this days is a no brainer to use the default openjdk.

well, it's just not optimized for it, it's just HTML + CSS, so it should work pretty much everywhere.

You really want someone you trust as a dns provider.

It would be easy to exploit people and as you say it's basically impossible to monetize. There would be motivation to do so.
But it was Mark & Co that went predatory and started implementing monetization initiatives, right? It still paints Mark in bad light, it's not like Koum & Co weren't entitled to that part of the contract and instead were the primary violators?

To some degree, sure. But they really should be capable of a straight failover (forced, if necessary) to geographically separate components.

Internet Drama: A consensual field study into online consensus building
I wrote this article. The Juggler was the first time I'd seen raytracing on a computer and watching these pre-rendered animations on the Amiga was one of the thrills of the system, as it surpassed all consumer micros of the day graphically, as far as on-screen colors. The Amiga's Hold-And-Modify (HAM) mode could render the full 4096-color palette on-screen and was very well suited for displaying ray traced scenes with their realistic coloring and shading and could do so at a resolution of 320x400 (4:3 aspect) and at a sufficient framerate, given the flexibility and power of the Amiga's blitter and memory architecture. As such, it seemed worth a mention here.
I've seen some recent pushes for "right to repair" legislation. I can see how this is great for consumers. I can also see how this forces companies to be more open about their components and interfaces, which weakens their ability to keep trade secrets. It also increases the attack surfaces for people and organizations attempting to compromise the device. I suspect the end result is more system on a chip design styles that are basically impossible to repair.
Unsafe wasn't removed, just a few methods on it.
I cringe thinking about people using an Apple Watch for healthcare. I had to give my Apple Watch 3 away because:

1) its heart rate monitoring while running was terrible. I run in a HR range and AW3 wasn't accurate enough for that. It would show a rate too low and then impossibly high within a couple minutes... couldn't use it to pace myself.

2) battery life. If you run for 2 hours, you likely can't get through the day. I had to charge it every night. In the case of a medical monitoring device, I guess you'll have to settle for being monitored for only part of the day???

I ended up buying a Garmin Forerunner 935 and its HR is more accurate and battery life is much better. (But not saying Garmin is OK for health care either)

>Google has been considered "evil" by the tinfoil hat crowd for quite some time, and once again it has become apparent to the mainstream that they were right

it's almost as though the people with money benefit from marginalizing the people cynical enough to understand what they are doing.
You lose money when everyone browsing in incognito/tor/cookie-blocking sessions gets the damned cookie warning every visit, and eventually tires of your site's nagging and goes somewhere else. Or maybe you don't, maybe those users had 17 ad blockers and you don't lose a dime, but it certainly hurts your company's goodwill to have less eyeballs.

If users don't bounce, is that based on short-term or long-term research?
Yup, this works both HTTP and HTTPS without any certs.

Hope this helps
I have signed up for, but not yet started a study at University of Michigan that is giving out apple watches and blood pressure monitors as part of a health study. Apple Inc is listed as a sponsor that will have access to all of the data. Among other things they are collecting blood samples and survey data. It has a concentrated period of 45 days of data collection, but goes on for 3 years. I am slightly concerned about the privacy issues, but I decided its worth it to see what they can come up with.

The study that I am joining "MIPACT" is not well publicized, and I only heard about it through a friend at work. I wonder how many similar projects they are supporting around the country.
Ok. So like any product, the consumer can weigh the good against the bad and then make the choice to use the product that they prefer the most. This is especially true in the case of search engines which cost no money for the consumer thus there is no risk to considering alternatives.

Last time I tried Vivaldi (over a year ago), the browser shortcuts were taking precedence over website shortcuts. I noticed this in Google Sheets and others. I hope that's fixed now

I mean, there are plenty of billionaires who make ridiculous statements from time to time. Donald Trump being one of them, for example.

WhatsApp's founders are awesome! But Acton shouldn't be surprised that FB behaved as they did. He is smart and knows that publicly he should act surprised.
My personal favorite restriction: turn off Web & App Activity and then try to use a voice command to call/text another person. You can't use voice commands with contacts if you have the permission turned off.

I always forget that when I'm trying to do hands-free commands while driving. I have to pull over and manually click on the contact. I can't just use voice commands and put the phone on speaker.

It's outright vindictive, to the point of being legitimately dangerous. You can still add contacts, and their names still show up everywhere on the phone. You just don't get to hands-free dial any of them, because... somehow Google needs access to my search history to do that? It's one of the most straightforward examples of higher-ups in Google prioritizing user tracking over user safety.
I have yet to watch/read the link, or catch up on the hype, but why is "Blockchain" referred to in the singular? As in "the blockchain" or just "blockchain" (often capitalized.)

EDIT: I didn't see this was already asked in another comment.
I think the blog post is saying that, especially in the quote that started this thread. The post portrays ad-blocking browser extensions as not worth the risk, discussing both the questionable value of blocking all ads and also the possible risk of the extension being sold to a malware creator. It then presents Pi-hole as a safe alternative to browser-based blockers.
Except doesn't each browser window have full window chrome?

Monetizing via ads is hardly disregarding business ethics, it's just a different way of monetizing.
To maybe short-circuit your idea, magneto-encephalography (MEG) uses magnetic field sensors to sense brain activity. Coherent currents from ~100K neurons produce femto-tesla signals (about 1 billionth of the earth's magnetic field). This currently requires liquid helium cooled superconductors (though there is some work trying on nanofabricated room-temperature ultraprecise field sensors). To induce effects, the TMS magnets produce reasonable fractions of a Tesla.
Well no, logging out in the browser would still delete them.

This is kind of what I mean, you can't talk about this without hyperbole.

> Cell phones, unlike home assistants, are not designed to be recording anything by themselves.

The assistants in phones work in exactly the same way as the assistants in home appliances, no? They start recording when they hear their voice trigger.

Both classes of devices require trust that their maker won't invoke this functionality when it's not asked for, has hardened this functionality against bad actors, etc.
Nope. The whole point of proof of work is that it informs clients which version to consider authoritative in the case of a conflict. If my tampered copy has higher proof of work than the peer with the correct version then, by definition, mine is correct and the other peer's is outdated. Correctly implemented peers will recognize this and overwrite their local cache with mine, and even if they don't other peers will always prefer my version to theirs when deciding which update to sync.
Or else worse trade deals with you?

China is already suffering from it. The golden age of them not giving a fuck about IP in hardware space are coming to an end, to detriment of the society at large.

They have been communicating the changes in how OpenJDK and Oracle JDK work for a year now, through many public talks, announcements, blog posts and so on.

Moreover the changes are good for the community. OpenJDK is now the reference implementation and equivalent to the old Oracle JDK in every way. The only reason to use the Oracle JDK now is to get commercial support from Oracle.

Calling this a "trap" is dumb. Not only did Oracle change the licenses to be better for end users, they are highlighting the changes in a big yellow box and the license is written clearly. OpenJDK is regular GPL + an exception so you don't have to GPL your own apps.

To repeat, Java is getting more free not less.

SnapTrash: a mobile app to keep the oceans plastic-free
Can't the companies just not do business in China if they don't like the contract? Other countries have similar laws, like it forces companies to hire local people or spend part of the money locally.

If China can afford to not respect the IP laws then there is nothing what a company can do, eventually the secrets would be reversed engineered.
If you are the one claiming that home assistants are spying on you then prove it. But constantly complaining about something that is simply not happening because it might happen is ridiculous. What do you want people to do? Unplug their Echo's because they aren't spying?
China doesn't need the technology per se. China is now an advanced technological country in its own right, even if the fruits of that may still be unevenly distributed -- as, to be fair, they are in the rest of the world as well. The behaviors described are primarily about control and power over strategic industries at a macro level.
The wave-like nature of photons does not exclude the particle behavior. Light is both a particle and a wave.

Physicists still rely on snells law. Optics courses still includes path tracing when studying refraction and dielectrics.

Excluding the particle behavior of light just because the wave nature exists, is not something a physicist would do.

I mean, regardless of whether we should expect a country to engage in this behavior or whether or not it is right, it’s worth noting that this is an area to plan around in trade agreements and concessions. Despite contracts with the companies in question, the IP was used for whatever purposes the Chinese government wanted.

So it’s worth noting that, as a western company, you cannot trust these agreements, whether or not the actions of the Chinese are justified. You should assume that any restrictions you negotiated are worthless, and if you want access to the Chinese market the price implicitly includes any IP the local partner can take.

That’s what I see as the takeaway.
I think "somewhat dishonest" is a better term. They aren't morons. They knew they were selling to a cutthroat advertising business. To feign surprise, after becoming a retired billionaire out of said advertising business's purse, seems disingenuous. "I was offered a lot of money and traded a material risk to our users' privacy for a lot of money, for myself and my employees" is closer to the truth.
I have a watch with wrist HRM and I can say without a doubt that it is a complete gimmick. Sometimes I will be sitting calmly at my desk and I glance down and see it thinks my heart rate is 190. Or I will get back from a hard run and it thinks my heart rate hasn’t been above 70. A chest strap however gives plausible results.

Anyone basing serious health stuff on this is crazy.
B: But the behavior of some most active CoC proponents is not exactly welcoming and professional, are you sure that's what you are about?

A: Arguing that a CoC should be welcoming to the behavioral abuses it is trying to protect is sophistry no one should feel the need to engage with honestly. It's as absurd as those, "To be tolerant you must be tolerant of intolerance" arguments that people raise as if they're credible or novel. We also laugh at those.

B: Sigh.
Can any browser out there, Vivaldi or otherwise, take the tabs of a window and save the corresponding list of URLs so I can reopen that window of tabs at a later date?

That’s one essential feature I want from a browser, I’ve grown to desire more over the years, but for some strange reason, no browser I’ve seen out there allows you to treat sets of URLs as such.

It really does not scale. Charging users after a certain threshold of messages is a silly idea. Can you imagine if Facebook charged after a certain number of status updates and photos shared? It's not that it doesn't make as much money, it's that people would have quickly jumped ship.
It's quite interesting how so many comments here are pro Facebook, anti Whatsapp founders. How big is Facebook's astroturfing department? (Just a theory. But it seems a bit glaring to not point it out.)
John Mandrola, a cardiac electrophysiologist have some interesting insights on the Apple Watch

Are there any startups/new players/existing players that are building cars (2017/2018) that are energy efficient (electric/hybrid) and don't violate your privacy by phoning home?
Trust.

If you are a small producer and you send a shipment of your widgets to Wal Mart, and Wal Mart then say "what widgets?", the efficiency of their SQL Server installation isn't a benefit that will bring you much comfort.

If you are a small producer and you send a shipment of your widgets to Wal Mart with little rfid stickers on tracked by a blockchain system that you, the shipping company, border security, Wal Mart's warehouse and Wal Mart's stores run nodes for, you have a system that may bring you a bit more comfort. Running a node is simpler (or at least more efficient - pen and paper is simpler than SQL Server...), and the outcomes more encouraging for all participants, than some of the alternatives.

The question "Why not just banks using computers?" is where distributed timestamp servers came in and there is an extensive literature devoted to both the ideological and practical arguments around this. Briefly because banks are untrustworthy, expensive and slow. Banks themselves using blockchains is recuperation ideologically speaking, and FOMO technologically speaking. It is less silly to the degree that it does improve banking transparency and trustworthiness, but abandoning proof-of-of-work for the nonsense of "permissioned" blockchains restores it to being very silly.
You'd be able to tell if some traffic is being sent. If my Echo is spying on me day and in out then I'd expect a pretty constant stream of traffic from it.

If the Echo was ever caught intentionally spying (either through analysis or someone leaking that information) that would be the end of that product line forever.
It's still kind of a niche, though. People who don't live where decent internet access is readily available also tend to not have enough disposable wealth to make great business targets, especially for social media and other sites that sell eyeballs rather than widgets.

On the other hand, one of the first things people with disposable income want today is good internet access, so as income grows for the middle five billion (and it's growing rapidly), there's tremendous market pressure to supply them with faster internet - maybe not up to the standards of the top billion, but not "low tech" either.

We are running appmaker.xyz for the last 3 years. And we convert WooCommerce website to the mobile app in minutes.

For us, while user create an app using our platform we have no access to the client-server, It was a hell to debug. We built this tool a couple of weeks back. For us reproducing the error at checkout page will take a while(without tool). (Choose product -> Add to cart -> enter address -> Choose payment gateway).

We build this to overcome all those and in one click we can reproduce that. The beauty is that we can reproduce the same request caused by the client while testing the app.
Yeah... Of course! To join this marketing alliance, Google decided, more than a year ago, to demand that CF sever ties with exactly one of their customers.

Apart from how wacky that conspiracy theory is: Do you believe you can devalue Cloudflare's stated motivation by replacing it with a financial motive instead?

Because it would seem to me that your theory would just shift that moral motivation to Google, no?

Unless, of course, Google themselves are in turn pressured by some even more powerful group. Who's that? George Soros? Hillary Clinton?
What if Amazon were caught doing that, though?
Modified openjdk with high perf. GC, JIT, tooling etc. It is very nice.
They do. This is part of why we have such a large trade deficit with China.

The real issue here is China's double-talk on trade. They talk about open free trade but in reality they practice intense nationalistic and protectionist trade tactics. They do everything possible to prevent foreign companies from selling anything in China, while at the same time doing everything they can to attract foreign labor outsourcing, capital, and of course IP.

I can't blame them too much. These kinds of trade policies are how nations build strong domestic economies. The US did the same thing during its industrialization phase. Nevertheless it's horrible for American workers and the American middle class.

It's literally the only thing I agree with Trump about -- that China needs to be taken to task for its extremely aggressive trade policies.
As far as I know, the pi-hole maintainers do not maintain any of the default block lists. I maintain a list [1] that is then feed into the popular host list by Steven Black [2] - which is a default list.

I definitely do not want to break things for people and I'm happy to remove any reasonable domains from the list. I wouldn't consider google analytics a reasonable one to remove - but you get the idea. I hate to hear you had a bad experience of it. If my list had the breaking domains for you, I would of loved to have a ticket opened where we could discuss it. Sometimes it isn't clear cut between ads & tracking and useful services.
