Depends on the reader base. If the goal of the readers is to obtain proof that their favorite politicians are great, and that their opponents are evil and stupid, then that's what the paper will provide: entertainment plus reinforcement.

But I like to think that there are still readers out there who want to know what is really happening, so that they can make educated guesses as to what will happen next. Presumably these readers want these insights in order to make money, which suggests that papers oriented to investors and business executives are the most likely to provide information that is actually predictive, rather than reinforcive.

The problem is that papers of this sort are also the most likely to charge hefty subscription fees, and put up strong paywalls.
I believe this is actually only true under very specific circumstances -- namely, enterprise certificates, which are used to distribute apps directly to employee devices, without going through the app store. If they decide to revoke a regular developer certificate, the apps already distributed through it are not affected in any way.

They can control which apps can and cannot run as long as those apps are intended for internal use by enterprises. That seems reasonable imo, given that these apps are also not subject to any approval process.
I find the key factor the be company size.

When I worked for a Fortune 500, credentials mattered. Possibly more than competence.

I'm working for a much smaller company now and it's significantly closer to a meritocracy (or a "who will generate the most obvious value - even if it means working 90 hours per week" ocracy).
If the website can be accessed by others.

I could take a picture of a map and share it on my LAN via httpd so all my computers can access it. I am the only user on the LAN.

It is not the "website" aspect that would implicate copyright, it is the redistribution, e.g., via a website on the public internet.

My original question is being misunderstood. It is not about copyright or what rights Google has in maps. It is a question about why Google attempts to force users to contact them every time the user looks at a map.

You can probably mask off a few low order bits and still get most of the value for network management applications.
It can.

IBM has had contracts for decades that govern use of your software on the hardware you bought from them. You buy CPU hours or the right to use a certain amount of the computer for a specific timeframe. One place I worked at had a mainframe that they could not use for production workloads unless a disaster declaration was made.

They’ve been litigated and are valid.
IF you really want to get scared about content theft, you should read the terms of service for Grammerly. Their plug in scans everything data input window and by using the service you agree to the following:

"By uploading or entering any User Content, you give Grammarly (and those it works with) a nonexclusive, worldwide, royalty-free and fully-paid, transferable and sublicensable, perpetual, and irrevocable license to copy, store and use your User Content (and, if you are an Authorized User, your Enterprise Subscriber’s User Content) in connection with the provision of the Software and the Services and to improve the algorithms underlying the Software and the Services."

If you were to write a book online using Grammerly they would have the full rights to what you wrote, and they could sell it themselves and not pay you a cent.

If you work for a company that uses Grammerly any IP typed into a windowd monitored by Grammerly also becomes their property.

Two years ago I looked into an enterprise license because I had so many employees using it, after reading the terms of service and speaking with their General Counsesl where he essentially gave the "my way or the highway speech","we own it all, and we can do what we want with it" I scrubbed the software and plugins from all our company computers.

I feel like slow CI can definitely be a huge bottleneck in large projects, with lots of tests. If you are making changes that affect lots of different areas, there are likely too many tests to run locally, so some test failures will only be caught by CI. Slow CI makes it take far longer to iterate and solve these failures, and forces you to multitask more while waiting for CI to finish, and context switch whenever you have a failure. I think that, if slow CI is a big problem, it probably indicates that your codebase is too tightly coupled, and you aren't testing the right things. But it is still a problem.
I think the name is brilliant as one expects that the Gell-Mann effect is named after its primary creator, Murray Gell-Mann. If you know about the topic in detail, one knows that is not the case. A similar situation to what the Gell-Man effect is. I'm sure Crichton loved this fact and is one of the reasons he used Gell-Man's name for his coined idea.
Neither of those links says that US intelligence agencies passed information to US companies, either.

Maybe this is a dumb question, but would an HE round in the general area not get the point across?

(I just googled for the ammo types available to the Abrams, and I learned that the latest-version multipurpose HEAT round has a fucking anti-aircraft mode, which enables a proximity fuse and a puff of black smoke on detonation, so you can track your shot WW2 flak-style. I know it's for helicopters, not planes, but still. Crazy.)
That’s a completely impractical suggestion, that ignores how domain names are actually used. Domain names are used primarily by organisations, not individuals. But even for individuals this wouldn’t work. Vanity domains are still going to be scarce, and the names in demand for organisations are still going to be scarce. And why should there be any limit on the number of domains you can buy? What if I have 6 projects I want to host? What if I own a company and want to buy my name in multiple TLDs to prevent phishing? What if I want to have a different domain for my dev/test/sandbox/prod environments?

Revoking the certificate deals with the apps that have already been signed with that certificate. Google taking it down doesn't remove it from the devices where it has already been installed or prevent it being distributed by other means. Revoking the certificate does.

In both cases Apple has reached an agreement to issue new enterprise certs for both companies. They can now use those certs for their approved purposes. If Apple finds that those certs are being used for disallowed activity they can revoke them again.

I don't really see any issue with that.
I've seen the god damn movie.
I run a search engine / crawler company:

http://www.datastreamer.io/

We index news sites, among other sources.

The situations here is really a horrible situation for content aggregators and search engines and how they related to news sites.

First, say you do pay for the NYTimes. If they nail a story, some other paper is just going to run it... and with fair use they can pretty much cover most of the story.

So why would someone pay the NYTimes when you can get it elsewhere?

Now you could say that the NYTimes should lock up their data behind a paywall but that can't stop fair use.

IT also stops content aggregators and search engine and there's a lot of potential in building derivative apps with the data.

I think at some point we might want to look at public funding of these institutions similar to PBS paid for with some sort of tax on companies like Google which actually utilize the content.

There have been various proposals for this in the UK but they've all flopped. Basically package licensing deals that just never worked.

I don’t believe jobs are finite. I believe skilled immigrants improve competitiveness and create jobs across broad swaths of the economy, some even start very successful businesses.

They can't do it, that's not how Apple's EDC licensing works.

Do these offset content or ads? If it's ads, it seems like it's definitely infringing and not likely to last. Even if it's content it probably still is.
It's not "without rules". The rules are just democratically determined (i.e. laws).
You know full well that deplatforming and censorship are not applied ONLY when direct violence is part of the speech in question. Moreover, I said speech restrictions should be limited to a very narrow scope, and I explicitly offered direct physical violence as an example of reasonably disallowed speech.

The problem is that the definitions used to censor speech often experience 'scope creep' and start to encompass more and more, up to the limits of whatever the circumstances and pressures of the time allow. Usually that means the limitations are set by whomever is able to gather more political power at that moment. And by 'political power' I mean not just explicit political power from public positions, but also power encompassed in actions like mass action on Twitter. These dynamics are usually influenced by a small vocal minority and not agreed to by everyone, but the resulting actions still impact everyone. Hence it is not a great way to manage the exchange of ideas.

PS: you don't know me, so I am not sure what standing you have to talk about my privilege or why it is relevant.
But what is the trade off by using lidar? Higher prices that will be absorbed by the fleet owners? For a significant amount of crash-avoidance data? Lidar have a wider range of operation (especially at night), and software will catch up to squeeze every single data it can from both cameras and lidar. I don't understand this obsession of limiting bleeding edge applications to use a select few of sensors (as been echoed in this thread a few times).

Wait, what??? Think really long and hard about how that would play out. This is a scarce resource, that like many digital items feels cheaper than it really is. I personally think that domain registration should cost more. That would a) stop casual speculation and b ) make those speculators feel like holding on to a domain less appealing. I own way more domain names than I have time to work on and until there is any reason to stop renewing them probably won’t.

I'm not sure where the "problem of meaning" coincides with politics. Facts are provable. Politics is subjective. Politics is, at best, theoretical but mostly unsupported opinions. "Left" and "Right" are sociopolitical constructs. Everyone is entitled to their opinions, including Jordan. But opinions are like assholes, everyone has one. Anyone's opinions are just as valid as Jordon Peterson's, including your own. When you're desperate for easy answers to complex questions, there's no shortage of people with clever opinions and a price.

I'm interested in what anybody has to say something about this. Tesla has been reckless in their release and marketing of their 'Autopilot' software that lead to fatal crashes. Other companies (even Uber) are more responsible that that. The Uber fatal accident happened in a test vehicle, not customer bought cars. I'm not saying what Tesla has done in the self-driving arena trivial (it is not). But that does not mean their conduct is responsible.

Google and Facebook appear to have used a different method of distribution than this and thus violated their terms.
Yeah, that's a great clarification. The way I've phrased it implies that they're somehow incompetent for not immediately jumping to the newest version, which is not my intent.

I more so meant it as a way to figure out what their plans are for software lifecycle. All common languages (as far as I'm aware) deprecate old versions at some point, after which there are security implications for not updating. Asking what the long term plan is for changing versions and keeping up to date (however big of a priority that is) can provide some insights into how aware they are of technical chores that may be important but aren't feature related. I'm personally more interested in how a company thinks about their answer than what the actual answer is.

For example, I once spoke with a company that used PHP 5.5 with substantial tech debt. Their long term plan was to rewrite the whole platform as Go microservices. They didn't seem to realize that this would be a multi-year effort if it ever happened and that PHP 5.5 was already past its end of life date. The solution didn't fit the circumstances. That told me quite a bit about their engineering organization.

Fair enough. This subthread was a semantic argument about whether the term "rocket" pertained also to any incendiary munitions to which they were attached. I maintained (and still maintain) that a "rocket" - especially a guided one - is not inherently explosive.

However, this semantic argument was in the context of a discussion about GMLRS, which - after checking - do in fact have a small explosive charge attached.

Anyway. End result is that my substantive comment about GMLRS does contain the correction. And this semantic argument seems all the more pointless now. Hence my removal of my comments.
I found a LALR grammar for Rust on GitHub, compatible with Bison.

But it does not closely track the published Rust Grammar nor syntax rules in the Rust Reference. (See Rust-lang DOT org site.)

Although perhaps a Rust grammar could be extracted from the syntax rules in the Reference doc, it may be incomplete.
For example, how do "as-yet-undocumented features" affect the current syntax rules in the Rust Reference?

So for now, it looks like C is easier to parse than Rust.

But TanOatJam is not bad.
It’s ok to let languages die; we’re just barely scraping out of the infancy of programming. Languages like Java and C++ which have carried us a long way need to evolve into new and better languages that incorporate lessons learned and the next wave of research.

We also know from Google’s paper on software practices that software naturally gets rewritten over time, at a cadence that makes it acceptable to switch languages. So there is really no reason not to have a plan for your business to migrate languages periodically.

Unfortunately the industry seems to be stuck in a rut, and we’re forced to retrofit ancient compilers like horse drawn buggies with plate armor and machine guns on them.
Because you lose color and end up with a HUGELY lower amount of data. Lidar is quite expensive, so you end up with a few of them.

Tesla has something like 10 cameras running 1280x960 @ fps or similar. With so few data points (and no color) you can't identify similar vehicles. After all snow plows, school busses, ambulances, bikes, motorcycles, police, etc all have different behaviors. Some even signal cars with spot lights, police red/blue lights, brake lights, blinking high beams, etc. All would be invisible to lidar and contribute to lidar controlled cars acting less like human driven cars.

I think almost everyone here is familiar with the paradox of tolerance as a general concept, but it is almost misunderstood or misused.

To quote your own Wikipedia link, here's what Karl Popper (who coined this phrase) believed:

> "Popper asserted that to allow freedom of speech to those who would use it to eliminate the very principle upon which they rely is paradoxical."

And yet here we are, with people today using freedom of speech to suppress freedom of speech (e.g. pressuring companies to deplatform someone) and somehow thinking they are defending tolerance.

Also if you actually read more about Popper said, you'll find this bit:

> I do not imply, for instance, that we should always suppress the utterance of intolerant philosophies; as long as we can counter them by rational argument and keep them in check by public opinion, suppression would certainly be unwise.
