Those components are presumably hardware drivers, right? In which case they're kept closed-source by the OEMs, and in which case you'd face the same problem whether you're putting Android on top of them or not. The solution in either case is to develop open source drivers. This is true regardless of whether you start with Android or go back to the Linux kernel and start over.

Every cybersecurity guy I've ever met has at least one or two Chinese espionage stories--all ending with a bunch of C-level guys pleading to keep it out of the news, while being utterly unconcerned that company IP and sensitive customer information have left the building.

It could just be a case of pass-the-message, but the C-level guys often seemed so unconcerned that you'd have to wonder if they were also in on it. After all, the Chinese do have money, and everyone likes money.
TL;DR:

Apple argued in court that Qualcomm wasn't licensing their patents fairly, something they agreed to do by helping shape standards based on them.

They did this through "creating evidence" by negotiating and selecting for favorable (but non-equivalent) patent deals as examples.
I think the Museum of Cosmonautics in Moscow near VDNKh would fit that better. I'm very biased as I've been dozens of times due to it being free to students and conveniently located to where I lived in Moscow, but it's massive and directly under a huge monument to the space program, plus the park around it is full of dedications and smaller monuments to various figures in the program.

This is triggering me hard. I guess I know it's a joke, but most legendary programmers use emacs and for good reasons, it's a huge productivity booster. There's a high learning curve, but if you're going to tackle one of the more intelligently sophisticated industries with a semi-high learning curve let's not shy away from tools that that are also hard to learn.

Sorry for the rant: you all have a nice weekend. Maybe practice how to use emacs for a couple hours!

It seems unfair to compare Maryland, a relatively wealthy state, to all of France, a nation with regional economic disparities. The Île-de-France region has a per-capita GDP about $10k higher than Maryland - but the price of internet service isn't correspondingly higher, that I can find.
On modern Linux the drivers are part of the kernel which puts them under the GPL, legally obligating the release of their source code. On android the graphics drivers are part of userspace which lets the authors get around this.

Okay, this can now only be interpretted as malicious, corrupt collusion, under the guise of "industry standardization" which is assuredly hostile to not just The Abstract User but the entire global general public at large, indeed humanity itself, all in the name of "advertising" (if you honestly still wish to buy that name for what we call this).

It is not "advertising" anymore. That's not what this sort of thing is about anymore. It isn't just monetization and profitability. Not when competing options all do the same thing, at the same time, contrary to the interests of an ordinary individual.

All the major browsers align on this aspect, and it is assuredly a massive program to collect invasive data on everyone, everywhere. Don't mistake it for anything else.
That's a serious problem on windows because the only people who can fix it are the authors of the driver. On Linux anyone has access to the source and can fix really bad driver bugs.

It is not about money. It is about people with family in China. This is the most common pressure point that turns them. Then they have to recruit other Chinese people abroad.

Anyway, like said elsewhere, spying only gets them so far. As a gross generalization: The Chinese lack the creativity and originality to further develop the stolen technology. Somehow, this seems more of a Western skill set. I suppose, because creativity and disruption takes a modicum of rebellion against the rules / authorities, and so you can't have both 996 obedience and creativity.

"the vast majority of people don't use those services anyhow."

You use Netflix as a stand-in for all "commercial services". The majority of smartphone users in the world may not have Netflix on their phones, but the majority of Americans - the largest market by value - do. And more importantly, I guarantee you that the vast majority of smartphone users worldwide regularly use Facebook and/or WhatsApp. Those are commercial services. I personally have trouble staying in the loop at work without Slack on my phone. That's a commercial service. Plenty of mobile, commercial services are truly essential to modern life. Singling out Netflix is a straw-man.

Okay, but all that means is there aren't currently open source drivers for Android because we haven't needed them. Presumably the Linux kernel doesn't already have drivers for Android hardware (and if it did, presumably they could be ported to Android proper), so they'd have to be written either way. The point is moot.
You're right we're not sure, but splitting the difference like this sounds like you're equivocating the two possibilities. "Oh, it could get worse, it could get better, we just don't know." When the reality might be a 90:10 relative likelihood in a particular direction.

Apple had given Intel modems a shot, and then users started complaining about performance differences. In some cases the Qualcomm modems would outperform the Intel ones by over 70%, especially in situations with low/weak signal. To maintain consistency and avoid outrage they tried to intentionally nerf the Qualcomm modem performance in these situations (since the Intel ones were lagging behind significantly).

Hey azhawkes; I've used loader.io and a few other services to do load tests.

For all of them, I wish I had a "pay for credits" model, where I could just pay for each load test I ran, instead of a subscription.

Load tests for me were infrequent and feature/ad-hoc/test-case specific, so I wish I had a billing model that fit my use case.

Wish you the best!
I agree with both. This explanation is easier to understand, but it makes it look like a technological problem that can be solved, instead of a fundamental property of the universe.
What makes you think the US is not the defector?
IANAL, but...

In the US, it's reasonably well established that you have no privacy rights after death[1].

That doesn't necessarily make it safe to publish details about someone after they are dead though as property rights do exist through the estate of the deceased, so you may have to end up defending yourself from a defamation suit.

In terms of it being "okay" there are unwritten rules about allowing some not-well-defined period of mourning before publishing private details, particularly ones that reflect poorly on the deceased.

Publishing e.g. private correspondence of people from just 100 years ago seems completely non-controversial though.

I find it odd that the article is implying that the only reason for Apple to negotiate for cheap patent licenses elsewhere is to artificially portray Qualcomm as overcharging, when surely it's in Apple's interest in general to negotiate favorable patent licensing deals.

Even if Apple's sole goal was to prove that they could license a much larger portfolio of patents for much less as a way of demonstrating that Qualcomm is overcharging, the fact that this was their goal doesn't make them wrong. "I'm going to prove you're overcharging by demonstrating that I can license other patents cheaply. Look, I licensed other patents cheaply!" is actually a pretty good argument that Qualcomm is overcharging.

Maybe, but that’s speculative. Unless you’ve got some good examples of the BSD style of license failing where GPL has succeeded (I’d be genuinely interested!). I know GPL has had some good wins, but more and more I feel like we need to fight this battle in our culture, not through lawyers.
>you'll have to write your own two-phase commit logic to ensure when row X is deleted, then /wherever/X.jpg is also deleted

I can't imagine a situation where you would need strict consistency with a BLOB and a database row unless you were also modifying bits inside the BLOB (which wouldn't be true if you are hosting images).

If you just need to ensure that whenever user X says DELETE, you can put S3 infront of an API and just query the database before you return the URL. If you really need the file gone, I would rather just encrypt the image and store the key in the database row.

In a world where S3 doesn't exist, I would still build something similar because coupling my object store with my actual data store just seems like asking for trouble. Having to wait hours to backup several kilobytes of changed data in a multi-terabyte database is just inviting people to cut corners.

Awesome job. I am really surprised with that kind of revenue you don't spring for an office or dedicated office space at WeWork.

I try and buy a new MacBook Pro each year, might as well get a high end asset I use daily and the deduction.
What better alternatives are there?

“Smart” boards — expensive, and high drawing latency makes writing on them uncomfortable. Also, text is hard to read from a distance. (They may be better for accessibility.)

Dry-erase boards — boards and markers are expensive. Markers generate a lot of waste.

Chalk — cheap, naturally occurring (and safe to dispose of) material. Easy to read at long distances.

Doing something is always more complexity than doing nothing.

Some seem to think "complexity" only happens when something is really hard. That's not how to think of it at all. Systems usually become overly complex by adding many little simple things. Each of those may be trivial, but together they can make your system impossible to understand and manage.
Snow Crash is so bizarre. It launches you straight into the story with no explanation, starting off with some crazy pizza delivery man in a rocket car with swords and an electric zapper thing for people who don't pay the bill. The whole book is like that--it never explains how, why, or when, leaving you to piece it all together yourself. The entire time I was reading it, I was waiting for a 30000 feet view of the world. But then it ended, never having fully explained itself.

I've never read anything else quite like it, and honestly don't know what I think of it. Are all of Neal Stephenson's books like that?
