Well, google scholar certainly does not have all published opinions, far from it. It is not an adequate research tool, just a starting point. I'm not familiar with casemine, will check it out.

EDIT: casemine appears to be neither free, nor to have all published US decisions as far as I can tell.
That is the narrative we have been fed, but when a company purposefully purloins the highest volume, highest profit market and force all phones sold there to provide your company significant royalties, its unsurprising said company can afford many more of the brightest minds to push the bleeding edge of technology.

In spite of this, Samsung has persisted in pushing forward their own LTE chipset, despite the significantly hobbled ROI caused by Qualcomm's actions on such a chipset.
Ugh, that really sucks. I worked on the same idea back in 2013 before Kitsplit came around [0]. Funnily enough, theft didn't keep me up at night, damage did. Especially hard to detect internal damage.

I've met Lizbeth and Kristina and they are solid, thoughtful people committed to helping creators. I think they played this hand incorrectly, however. I can't figure out why they wouldn't eat the cost here and work with their insurance provider to get a 'voluntary separation' clause as part of their coverage so this doesn't happen in the future.

Thank you for compiling this! All of the ideas in the text are incredibly powerful and important, but they are buried under megabytes of OOP trivia centering around C++ and Java.

I think at some point I will try to write an article "translating" his OOP ideas to something Java/C#/JS programmers can readily understand.
The PGP ecosystem is a pretty great example of what happens when you target unbounded interoperability.
Is this an advert for Proton? Why would you not just use windows 10, the platform that games were made to work on.
I'm assuming that as a university library team you're familiar with the Blacklight ecosystem of library search tools?

I and a single Rails dev modified the current Blacklight codebase to handle PDFs (and other office docs) with minimal effort a few months ago, I think doing so when you get to PDF handling and a web UI would be a completely valid starting point.

I'll save you the trouble of figuring out which is the only existing feasible open source library to sift through hundreds of thousands of PDF pages... QPDF is it.
Even when they say it it’s still misleading. Fraud is not a layman’s term. Theft or stealing is. The obvious takeaway for a normal person when seeing the words “rare” and “fraud” together like that is to assume that it means something other than stealing. Because people stealing nice cameras isn’t even slightly rare.
Maybe -- but the index is ridiculously useful. being able to commit some of your changes is part of what makes git so much more useful than something like mercurial.

That’s an interesting assertion, one that definitely requires a citation.

Even if Intel is only making these chips because of Apple, the real test is whether or not Intel is offering these chips to other companies. I would be surprised if they weren’t, even if nobody else is actually buying them.

After all, if you’re a smaller player, why would you buy anything other then Qualcomm? It takes a big, assertive company like Apple to play these games.

It seems like they've been trending downwards for quite a while.

I have noticed that there are a myriad of notes apps options (like Bear, Notion), but none of them seem to be thriving where Evernote should be leaving space. In your opinion, what do these notes apps (especially Evernote) fail?

What should they be trying to build and what did they build instead? What did they not understand about their users?
YAWN.

You mean to tell me, that there's YET ANOTHER "crowd sharing" thing, that ends up screwing over more 'provider' users in the process?

Oh, I see - it effectively hides the fact that a conversation occurred between two participants from their servers. They know that I'm at my IP, they know that you're at your IP, and they know that we're both sending messages, but this feature prevents them from knowing whether we're sending messages to each other.

I seriously doubt $100 million is minutes worth of revenue, even for Amazon.
First of all, the Facebook app is literally an entire operating system unto itself, among other things. Like someone pointed out, there's an entire Craigslist, an entire Snapchat, an entire Yelp, an entire YouTube, an entire web browser and so much more stuffed into a single app. On top of that, there are probably thousands of A/B tests and divergent code paths that are running simultaneously. Even if you have a feature, you probably have the code to switch between 10 different variants of that feature. There's also complex real time user instrumentation, media storage and backup features, tons of custom animation frameworks, networking frameworks, caching frameworks and on and on and on. The level of complexity and the millions of man-hours worth of code backing that app is insane.

At this point, it shouldn't be surprising in the slightest that the app is a cool ~300megs. Could it be better? Sure, and I'm sure they're working on it. After all, look at their developing country strategy and the stuff they do with "Facebook For Every Phone" to shave off every last byte from their apps: https://code.fb.com/android/how-we-built-facebook-lite-for-e...

If you look at the incentives, it's NOT in their best interests to make updates hard. That's not how they make money and in developing countries it actively costs them business. It's not that they're intentionally bloating the app just to mess with you....it's just that there's really that much going on in the app, along with it maybe being a little sloppy too.

Look, I have my beef with Facebook just like everyone else does to an extent....but this whole app size argument you seem to be spending a lot of energy on just has no legs if you truly understood the problem space.

I mean this is what you said: "We’re talking about pulling existing info from a server and re-displaying it". We _are not_ talking about that. The problem space is much much much larger than that (I mean they're running machine learning models on-device, doing real time facial recognition, leveraging AR in their custom cameras, streaming real-time data, among other things). I think you are severely overestimating your knowledge of the topic and I implore you to truly take a step back and re-evaluate what people are trying to tell you here.
What a cool idea! Next time I’m in SF for business going to check it out.

Describing the process of voting and elections as a civil war is something that I think (and no offense meant by this) only be done by an American. No other democracy would describe voting this way (with the exception of dictatorships in democracy's clothing).
You got me curious -- our first case with the modern term "coleslaw" is from 1935, in Rhode Island, and begins ominously with "The plaintiff in this case was injured by swallowing two small pieces of wire concealed in an order of beef stew, bread and coleslaw which she had purchased and was eating at defendant’s lunch counter."

Singapore has a net migration rate of 13.1 migrant(s)/1,000 population where the US only has 2.86 suggesting may more people find it an attractive destination than an area to escape from.

Some parts of the US restrict which color you can paint your house. That might seem like a huge negative for some, but plenty of people are fine with this tradeoff becase they care more for restricting the colors of others than they care about maintaining their personal freedom at any cost.

Expanding that to a wide range of similar issues may seem draconian, but it’s not without benifit. Which IMO is why Singapore does not have a mass exodus.
This. The best interpretation of this situation where KitSplit hasn't done anything dishonest still looks really bad for them.

At the point where you're already worrying about all of these details, why would you use KitSplit instead of just opening your own business and posting classifieds?

I ran into this with a photo company my parents used to use (Snapfish, no reason not to name them). My Mom called me up one night and said that some of her older photos wouldn't load any more. Did some debugging, contacted support, apparently the photos had just vanished during a database migration one day.

They gave me the same excuse -- "our service isn't meant to be used for backups and we don't guarantee any reliability." This is not something that they ever make clear in any advertising, but whatever. Thankfully I had my own backups of her computer, and afterwards I told her to stop using the service. My reasoning was, "even assuming that they weren't dishonest, you're left with a pretty crappy service that doesn't do anything." It's like buying a battery that doesn't guarantee that it will transmit power.

So the best case scenario for KitSplit that they want us to take away from this is... they're just a slightly fancier Ebay? Not a good advertisement.
There’s more than one kind of freedom.

People that aren’t ok with it probably move away, or never move there in the first place.

He continues to say that any attempt to prevent it would be either ineffective or cause the monopoly itself. He gives as examples the regulations of “making a registry with name and address of every tradesman makes it easier for them to congregate” and “the requirement to make a retirement fund makes congregation a necessity”.

Well, a lot of things seem to speak volumes to you. You're also someone who wants to sysadmin their phones (no judgement, perfectly valid lifestyle choice). When you determined that Signal was making it hard to run through F-Droid, you wrote a long blog post casting aspersions on Moxie Marlinspike's motives.

There are two groups of people (among others) Signal clearly doesn't aim to serve:

1. People that are very sensitive about, and only have access to, their one phone number.

2. People who want to sysadmin their phones.

I have perhaps more sympathy for people in group (1), but, unlike you, in neither case do I think the mismatch is a great moral dilemma. I do, however, believe that promoting inferior and untested cryptography is immoral.

The two of us are far apart on these issues and perhaps we should just agree not to engage on them.
I lived in Singapore for a couple years and I can say that, at least as an expat, you hardly feel restrictions. Of the Singaporeans I know, locals from young to old, they all love it.

Like all countries, it has its issues, but consider:

- Freedom of religion particularly stands out

- It has great and affordable health care

- It's safe

- Very easy to do business

I could list more. Maybe freedom means something different to you than to me. Like I said, there's definitely room for improvement, but I think they're doing way more right than wrong.
0.02% of rentals is also not 0.02% of gear value rented. I'd assume "voluntary parting" would occur on the higher value rentals.
I worked for one of the first few web based services. West Law was the defacto then (2000/2001). They even sued us and claimed that page numbers used in citations were proprietary information.

To answer your question re: its origins being publicly funded, no. When there was no internet database to connect to people bought the books from a print publisher (either at huge maintenance cost or sparingly at the expense of not knowing what was current). The print publishers bore the cost and reaped the profits of consolidating all of this data.

To answer the next obvious question: yes, there are probably people in prison or not depending on whether a small town law library bought the updates from West Law in a timely fashion 20 years ago.
if rentals are stolen 1% of the time won't they run out of cameras to rent fairly quickly?

Fair point, doing some quick math it takes them 5 hours.
Lawyer here. Not legal advice.

Theft of property is criminal. Not sure how you reasoned yourself sideways on that with red tape bullshit. Sue the company and the renter in small claims court and have some fun with it. Company will be forced to deal with it and that might get them to eventually change their bullshit policy. Credit card of renter should be pre-auth’d for full replacement of new item. How they aren’t doing that is negligent and asking for trouble. So is having an overly restrictive insurance policy. Makes me think the company has terrible legal counsel.
As a recent IBM Hire...one of the first in about 30 years for my role and definitely the first for my region ever I am stoked to work for IBM. Me being hired quite literally wiped about 5 companies contracts out of my region for certain hardware roles...which they deserved because they provided terrible service. IBM is certainly becoming more agile...the one thing I am learning about my role within the company...is that change is a constant for the company.
Regarding disposable plates and utensils, I actually don't see much of them unless you ask for takeout. I suspect in the area you're in the cost of dish washing is more expensive than the cost of plates and refuse collection. A tax on disposables would be great.

Singapore is actually getting better on reducing disposables, though slower than I would like. Cashiers don't double bag items anymore, and try to pack as much into one as possible. Paper takeout boxes and bags have replaced styrofoam and plastic in many places, and it's currently trendy to not offer plastic straws for drinks.

Another reason for disposable chopsticks, (though this applies more in China, Taiwan and Malaysia) is that the customers may not trust the hygiene of the place they're eating in. Disposable chopsticks are cut with the centers intact so it's impossible to put them back together and resell them.
I'm not looking to argue with you, just pointing out the current state of affairs wrt why so many privacy minded, tech aware folks either won't use Signal or choose to move conversations off it as quickly as possible.

The reasons for avoiding Signal (metadata leakage, mandatory phone number usage, questionable 3rd party dependencies, etc) are valid, despite how I often argue to the contrary in favor of getting as many people on Signal as possible and using it for daily communication. Talking common sense to this demographic is hard though, in the context of basic security concerns persisting year after year.

On the flipside, the phone number as identifier issue has caused apps like Kik (super popular among the gay community, despite shit security), Wickr and Wire to become popular among the non-tech demographics, which is extremely disheartening.
If you're a typical tech employee/well-to-do person - travel less. Air travel is likely the single largest component of your carbon footprint, and with high quality communication tools and good management, travel for work is not as important. (Plus I think if folks introspected they'd admit fun is a significant motivation for their work trips.)
Why blur the photos?
The problem is not the difficulty of the trade, the issue is that the SEC watches for people who profit off of unexpected events like this and unless you have a large track record of trading against companies it's going to put you right at the top of the suspect list.

In your other comments you try to make it seem difficult but when you are in control of a hit at a specific time the risks can be heavily mitigated. The bet is not that the stock will fall, it's that it will underperform it's historic correlated stocks during that time frame.

So the trade looks like this, find a stock with a very high correlation to the target (usually a competitor in the same space). At 9:55AM go long that stock equal dollar value you go short the target stock. This eliminates most risks induced by market-wide or even sector-wide price appreciation. Schedule assassination at 10:00AM. Close out the position when news breaks at 10:15AM or whatever. Even if the attempt fails, you will likely be close to even. Use margin or options to lever up.

The trade is not the hard part of these schemes at all. The hard part is not getting caught because the trades are so easy that the SEC knows exactly what to look for.
Missed my calling, apparently. But that's the calculation they make. Could see a lot of tech companies that raised insane valuations with institutional money whose revenues are otherwise respectable but don't justify those valuations, get picked up as distressed assets by PE firms during the next crash.

You need revenue to justify perks, so perks could be a tell. Hmm, glassdoor should have some data on this...
Yeah, did that. Problem wasn't the initial exit, it was the rapid series of turns after exiting lower Michigan from lower Wacker that was the Problem. Took a few loops around the block before the GPS reacquired. I used to spend a bit of time in the area, but it was always on foot. First time really driving in that area (coming in from West suburbs, normally, I'd take Metra and walk/cab it), and first time to NW hospital (wife needed to see a specialist)

Sadly it was wiped when I reformatted awhile back. But it’s rather trivial to implement if you know a little python. The website I scraped is here: https://www.reddit.com/r/LocationReddits/wiki/index

It took a bit of finagling to exclude the US college and city subreddits but otherwise I subscribed as-is to everything on that page. I think I only have unsubbed to a couple of them manually after, mostly because of excessive political posts by people who clearly don’t live in the area (Israel and Palestine subreddits come to mind)

You get some great content from doing it. Specifically Denmark and Sweden have amazing content in Danish and Swedish respectively that you wouldn’t ever see otherwise. Plus the former Yugoslavia countries and Eastern Europe and basically a lot of Europe generically has some sweet content you would not normally see if you weren’t subbed to their subreddits. Right click to google translate helps a lot. There are some truly dank European memes out there.

One of the other things I noticed that was really cool is that I now am tuned in to state politics outside of my home state in US. You really start to see the major issues other states have when you are subbed to their home subreddit.
Email is a generational thing. Older generations didn't have one. A lot of people getting on the internet today don't have one, either, especially in developing nations. But Android needs one, you say -- they'll get their tech friend or someone at the phone store to login once, so they can access the play store. But that's not secure, you say -- they don't necessarily care about that.

The nice thing about phone numbers is you put them into a non app specific address book, so your friends list is portable.
Seems like a reasonable question to ask, but one less urgent for the employees (or anyone, really) to resolve than these other policy questions they're interested in. I do agree that Google should operate as a worker's collective instead of as a corporation with shareholders, but I don't think it's a prerequisite for anything.

(Also I'm pretty sure literally every employee involved is a shareholder with personal finances exposed to the state of the company. Stock is a serious form of compensation at Google.)
