the detail is in 'neglects to register'. good explanation.

the issue with these kinds of cases, is that this is internet bound, and taking it down in for example chinese websites only, wouldn't make it unavailable in china. thus such internet marketed goods are harder to be forgiving in, as it's always available everywhere or nowhere. you can't as per your burger king example, exclude such a product from a certain territory or geographic location.

it's shitty, but in the end if you are running a business internationally which is prone to such copycats, register your trademark and protect yourself. if you forget you can be certain at some point, if you are successful, someone will try to copy it.
Putting politics aside, any American who doesn't acknowledge that China has a horrendous track record of stealing intellectual property, ripping off US companies, and unfair practices is just dillusional.

It's about time Americans stand up, even though the pain for me is real owning semiconductor stocks and Apple. I'm ok and willing to take short term loses to even the scales long term.

If that was really MS's reasoning I find it risible. There are many perfectly good reasons to have synchronous IO APIs. Yes, in the wrong hands they can make for janky UIs, but then the problem is not the tool, the problem is the developer.

MS's market was full of amateur-hour developers because their platform (WP7) was weak and lagging behind, thus incapable of attracting the top tier of devs. And then they poured gasoline on that fire with a barrage of silly incentives that were ignored by pros but attracted even more beginners. Now, to put a cherry on that fine mess, they attempted to remedy their bad business decisions with a technical solution that damaged the one asset they really had - an advanced and ahead-of-the curve app-development story. One own goal after another, really.
There's an obvious reason for that. Many Spaniards from the nearby towns work in Gibraltar.

I can't talk for everyone here, but most people I know couldn't care less about sovereignty. The huge problem with Gibraltar is smuggling and money laundering.

Edit: also, there's a common belief that we haven't pressured about the Gibraltar status because it could trigger that Morocco will do the same with Ceuta and Melilla. I can't really know, but it's really strange that after twenty years in the EU nothing has changed.
It's part of the US/China trade war. Trump believed the existing tariff situation with China was unfair and wanted to negotiate a new trade deal. When negotiations failed he started to implement a bunch of tariffs and trade restrictions on chines goods and companies to try to force their hand. This is just a part of that 'negotiation' strategy.

Google, Arm etc. don't want to stop doing business with Huawei (since doing so no doubt costs them a lot of money), they're being banned from doing business with Huawei by the US government.

With self driving cars you can go out, drink alcohol, socialize, and get back home whenever you want, you can even sleep in the car
It's an alternative but not without flaws either -- which just measns a trade offf -- the Play store suffers problems that the App Store doesn't. e.g. Apps that are simply removed without explanation and a huge spam problem -- malicious apps have gotten to the top of the Play Store.

What we need is more compitition -- this duopoly is too polaraizing and binary for something as complex as modern mobile phones.

Replacing "corrupted nutritional science" with just "science", as if they deny science as a concept, is a very dishonest rhetorical trick. We have seen very bad nutritional advice given under the guise of "nutritional science" for years, and now we know that advice was very bad. We're still not entirely sure, as far as I know, how good nutritional advice looks like, in many cases, and it may be completely appropriate to point to some nutritional advice as bad nutritional science. And yes, using such advice can cause disease - just as using "science" at the time which denied the germ theory was the cause of many cases of disease. It's a very far cry from denying whole science or even nutritional science.
May I challenge your worldview with the reality that the majority of Chinese mainlanders and Westerners are aware of this occurring and don't really care that much to do anything?

To add to the cognitive dissonance:

Which country on Earth has the most people detained both in total and per 100,000?

You live in a country you are expected to obey those laws or the justice system will come after you. It doesn't matter how unjust those laws may be, it's the simple reality of it.

How on Earth do you propose to take away the sovereignty of a nuclear armed state and impose your own legal system upon them? Internet comments are one thing, slightly viable solutions another.
I have used it for about the same amount of time and haven't seen any songs removed, but I guess it depends on what we're listening to.

Newpipe also has the ability to download music for offline listening as well, that's a pretty good backup plan
I completely agree. Any Crossfit gym where the coach doesn't enthusiastically support scaling down from the "Rx" is one nobody should go to. As I've said elsewhere in this thread I don't do Crossfit (I'm lazy and I hate cardio so I powerlift), but I know many people that do and their coaches have been entirely supportive of proper scaling to ability, with an eye toward progression of course.
We can either make things more expensive now with a tax that we can structure so that poor people are hit less hard, or we can wait until catastrophic climate change makes everything expensive and there is nothing we can do to help the poor because even the rich are struggling.

Anecdotally in Canada the hackers who actually discovered how to code for the machines tended to be on Atari and C64 owners tended to be more consumer oriented. I started out thinking I'd get the ZX81 kit with my own money which got vetoed by my parents saying that was a toy and pitched in for an Atari 400 (with no storage). I'd alternate between writing a game playing it for a day or two, reset to the Asteroids cartridge, repeat.

I can see that being useful. Integrate that with a trade school and you get free workers for a few years who come out of service actually capable of supporting themselves.
> Since it’s a phased array the direction doesn’t matter

Of course it does matter, a phased array isn't magic. A steered antenna will have much better gain when the target is at low elevation, when a fixed phased array will be operating at very oblique angles.
My shittiest project was a hostile takeover from another development team.

In the interview, the manager told me a bunch of BS that turned out to be completely false: that it was a new project, that lots of new development was expected, that there where performance challenges to be tackled.

When I got there, I found out on day one that the goal of the project was to take over the code base from an existing development team, with which the customer had lost trust because among other things they refused to use their new shitty trouble ticket system (which was awful), and instead insisted in using JIRA.

Also, they had a server running in Tomcat that they didn't want to migrate to Websphere.

Turns out that we didn't even have access to the code, until we accidentally found that the SVN repo was listed in an infrastructure powerpoint, and we did have a VPN connection set up.

We were at the taking over consulting firm offices and not at the customer, reverse engineering the existing 7-year-old codebase without any assistance from the development team, which didn't even know that they were getting replaced.

After months of reverse engineering and producing useless documentation so that the client manager could say in some meeting that the system was well documented, we ended moving in and mostly doing production support instead of development.

Our managers were afraid that we broke something, so they did everything to make sure that we didn't spend our time coding.

After a few months, I just asked out because it was not development work and this type of work was actually harming my career and even had my consulting manager actually shout to me on the phone and tell me that he would blacklist me at his company.

Software consulting is some of the shadiest businesses out there, beware.

The amount of lies that gets told to candidates just to get them signed at the dotted line to contracts without exit clauses (which was the case with me), the use of outdated job descriptions, the lack of information that you have about the actual job even if you ask a lot of questions in interviews, you really never know what you are getting into until day one.

Here is a tip from what I have learned: ask a ton of questions about what the job will actually be, if they answer evasively or strangely seem like they want to avoid the questions and move on to other aspects of the interview, that is a huge red flag.

Reading will power instinct and doing lots of meditation I can relate that I became so apathetic (got sick and spend a month of my summer in hospital and I couldn't even bother, they told my parents to visit psychiatrist and diagnose me with depression but they pulled it of by saying I always been this way) and lost my creativity due to this.

Also I just couldn't stop reading this in Robert sapolsky's voice :-)
At this point is feels like their goal is to get me to pirate as much as possible, lets see my anecdotal data point:

Music - Tidal covers about >95% of my music consumption.

TV shows - I have netflix and and prime, these cover maybe 75% of my tv consumption.

Films - Going to the cinema covers 10-20% maybe? I go to the cinema about 5-10 times a year and I pirate the rest because I don't have a good enough service to get those from legally.
Sure, as I say it's improving. I had a bunch of problems I never fixed with cmder. Windows Terminal has definite promise. We'll see.
It's not. When you leave trash in a mountain, you leave it upstream from other places. At some point it is going to taint streams and/or go down. There are people leaving downstream who are going to have to leave with the consequences of that trash.
I hope so. It's not a technical reason that there is only 1 store on iOS.
So basically making the mobile OSes more windows like in easily allowing people to install malware?
The unending walled gardens that the streaming service landscape is becoming is the main driver for torrent usage increasing. The more content becomes exclusive to single streaming services, the less consumers benefit from the convenience that the services originally provided.

There isn’t a slippery slope argument here anymore than there was in the tabloid hacking scandal.

Wikileaks exploited individuals like Manning and pushed them to commit crimes.

Journalists can’t go and groom vulnerable individuals with access to information using the same tactics that intelligence agencies use and then claim they are protecting their sources.

There is no precedence to be set here.

It's a bit more complicated than that. For trademark law, U.S. law is a hybrid. Federal law is always codified in a set of statutes, which makes it a bit like a civil law jurisdiction, except that higher court decisions are binding on trial courts. State law is often codified, but sometimes it is based on a common law history of judicial decisions.

The particular complexity for U.S. trademark law arises because the federal law did not completely preempt state laws. Federal law applies generally to marks registered with the federal government through the trademark office, but there can also be rights based on state law.
In other words: different charge distribution, different potential, diffetent resulting wave functions.
Chinas position on IP is a complicated mess. Considering their political and economic background as well as their position in international politics, I can kinda understand why they don't have much interest in honouring the creations of others.

There are subtle differences. Gibraltar was Spanish before The Utrech Treaty, that even included some expiration date IIRC. Ceuta and Melilla were Spanish towns before Morocco even existed. Not that it will matter in the long run...

> The cathedral is mostly intact.

The original is not.

What is arguably largely intact (though, per TFA, that's true superficially but not structurally) is the result of multiple changes over a long period for a variety of different reasons (often in the context of repairs, but the past repair efforts weren't with an attitude of “restore the original with no artistic changes”.)

> just like a repair to an Old Master painting damaged by a vandal.

Except it's not like an Old Master painting, as the pre-recent-damage condition was he result of many different artistic visions at many different times, unless you are comparing all the past innovation to the work of vandals, not just the recent damage.

Me too. I've been writing pretty much only C++ for 20 years, and if I'd go back and count, I think I'd have maybe a dozen times where I used new/delete, none of those in the last 10 years. Like all languages that are actually used, there is much one can complain about in C++, but claiming that one needs a lot of manual memory management is done mostly by people who haven't written much if any C++.
Crazy that he lied...but is that a lie to cover it up?

You can do that by moving any distance that forces you to recreate your social circle (i.e. even 100 miles). You don’t need a language barrier and a currency barrier to force you to reflect. You just need to leave your echo chamber.
No, they will take much less than Patreon. They will only charge the Stripe fees, which are much lower. And they will withhold nothing for Github by themselves, only for Stripe, their payment processor.
How Spotify Can Win in India
Crowdfunding exists today. We don't see this model much at all and certainly not at the levels of quality or scale seen in for-profit, copyright/IP based enterprise. Why?

1) To gain a crowdfunding base of sufficient size to replace the current models and achieve the necessary budgets in the first instance would require massive marketing spend. This would HAVE to be forked over prior to obtaining funding and therefore represents a major risk because with crowdfunding, it's all or nothing.

2) Tragedy of the commons/freeloading. Why agree to pony-up when I can wait/hope for some other saps to do so?

3) Crowdfunding means paying for something that doesn't exist to be created and trusting that the creators can/will create it at a level of quality that matches what you expected from their pitch. But wait, you've already committed your resources to them. Why should they actually strive to create an optimal good when they get your money regardless of the quality? This is a huge problem with crowdfunding. In today's world, you can rely on word of mouth, reviews, previews, etc.

So, no, the proposed world would be much worse. The set of above reasons are really showstoppers, imo, and they don't even cover the full scope of the problems with your proposal.
What court wording are you referencing? The judgment says "private home page which is none the less accessible to anyone who knows its address", a very different turn of phrase.
I disagree with your second assertion: if the streaming services go bad, the alternative isn't paying for all the music you've been paying for again; the alternative is pirating it all of it for free.

That's the beauty of the services: they have to compete with free and to do that they have to provide a superior enough experience to the user. If that ends, the music industry is the loser.

I do wonder how well Starlink's antenna will handle roll. Current VSAT require rather large boat, but this is probably different.

I can see price for older boats increase purely due to Starlink. It's already somewhat cheap way of living and I do hope special tax provisions are made for people out in the ocean (I don't use any social benefits for paying my taxes in country X...)
Indeed I stand corrected. Interestingly, (most) ancient cathedral are owned by the state, while (most) other churches are owned by the cities.

I made a bit of research, and while the sources are somewhat contradictory - the article linked as a source by Wikipedia contradicts what is stated on Wikipedia! - my understanding is that you are correct:
- nationalized in 1789
- the Concordat (Napoleon, 1801) confirms the state ownership, and usage is granted to the Church
- a few laws in the 19th century states the state pays for the maintenance of the building
- law in 1905 confirms (again) state ownership, usage assigned to the Church

AMRAP workouts are almost never executed "until exhaustion" - they are usually time-limited. There are other types of workouts which have increasing loads or repetitions until the athlete can't keep up - usually called "death by" (yes, it has "death" in the name, surely that means Crossfit is a death cult) - but those not exactly "until exhaustion" - at least not always, since if you can't lift the next weight in the line it doesn't mean you necessarily exhausted (though it may be). I don't see why this would be more prone to injury though - most workouts are meant to make you tired, and when you're tired, you may lose form, and when you lose form, you may be susceptible to injury, especially if you let your ego run away from you. That's where coach comes in and tells you to stop doing stupid, drop the weight and fix the form, or change the exercise.
You may not, but they may ;)
My estimate would be that about 70% of all IT/software projects on the planet are like that.

It bothers me that so many of these guides are aimed at passing the job interview instead of teaching the topic at hand.

- I want to be excited about the possibility of becoming better at the topic, not fantasize about crushing an interview

- If there is a major difference between the skills needed for an interview and the actual job (as the concept of interview perparation suggests), that's bad in all kinds of ways

- The interview prep articles often present the material in an unattractive way, as a list of requirements that need to be fulfilled, without an explanation of how it all fits together.

How about leading the student along, from a small sample project, showing the pitfalls of not understanding statistics properly, to a larger project where the data is put into a database, motivating the study of SQL, to doing some programming related to the toy problem at hand, motivating a deeper dive into programming fundamentals? How about inspiring the student about the beauty of the topic, about the possibilities and powers they get with each new little skill that they acquire?
