Correct. Article OP is making the argument for a font to be treated as a secret when it is not a secret. Intent and context is important; users aren't putting them up on torrent sites in this case, but simply storing them alongside the rest of their assets in source control.

EDIT: TLDR Downloading a publicly available font you don't have a license to use violates copyright.

I have an ageing MBPr 2012. I have been to the Apple store and tried every iteration from 2016 and up.

I won't upgrade. With mojave, I have noticed a slower machine with my dev workload than with El Capitan. Despite this, I'm happy and can report no problems at all.

The touchbar is completely useless. I don't like it. I am hoping that they see some sanity and offer models with and without. But I doubt it.

The over sized touch pad is ludicrous as well. My palms were always resting on it. I couldn't imagine using this 2016 to 2019 model. I hope the 16" comes back to the 2012-2015 sized touchpad.

If anything Apple should have retained the original F1 function keys and then offered the touchbar between the keyboard and the smaller touch pad.

Finally, it's not just the keyboard, they are loud and do not travel well. How is the thermal throttling? They say it's fixed. But in the UK it's summer now and it just throttles by existing!

Also don't forget stage light, is it fixed in the 2019 models?

It's all these things that make me wish they go back to the 2012-2015 sanity and make another really good machine.

To be honest with you. I'm going to hold off on the upgrade and I'm waiting until the 16" comes out. But ultimately, I want to see an ARM capable MBP. One that doesn't throttle. That would be really nice!

Do you think there is legitimate business strategy to justify lack of raises?
Your argument is basically that a multilaterally decided upon recognition of nations is bad because China bad.

Which would be true if it weren't a unilateral decision. Obfuscating that through the United Nations doesn't change anything.
Didn't they already prove they can send images, feeling etc.. through the net from Chimp to Chimp. And more recently done this with humans?

It may be better to say that Thunderbolt 3 is a 'superset' of USB: TB is its own protocol, which allows for the carrying of USB over it (as well as PCIe and DisplayPort).
Does it also depend on the trains? Things like how long they are, or how fast they can accelerate?
I think his free market ideology wasn't "the government ruins everything it touches" or "there are no market failures" but rather "anything that grows the market is good." He considered it to be "free market" when cities did things that contributed to economic growth even if the cities were doing it. Consequently, his point isn't about showing that there were market failures, but that you can't just assume that the choice which grew the market was the right choice.
Shouldn't it be possible to train for these scenarios using imitation learning and expert demonstrations? For example, Tesla seems to save replays of when its vehicles would have behaved significantly differently compared to how the driver actually behaved, and this data is supposed to be quite useful.

Is this type of crowdsourced driving data a crucial part of achieving Level 4+ self-driving? If so, it seems that driving around the same six city blocks of SF or cruising down Central Expressway in MV is going to produce diminishing returns in terms of producing measurable progress.
> and it also hurts the society by making illegal what was previously just fine on a small scale.

This is the other thing that leaves me feeling salty. Wholesale abuse of prerogatives usually results in those being taken away from everyone.

The other thing I'm saly about is when I started in tech you had two 'prongs'. One was defense companies. Which also served as tech incubators and dual use tech companies. And then mostly commercial tech companieswhich was focused on products people wanted. I feel like now a lot of tech is about enabling exploitation. Providing no benefit to ordinary people at all. And worse these companies produce zero low to minimal skill jobs.
The analogy you are looking for is: You can give away DVD's of the fight inside your bar, but not outside.
It depends on what you watch. For abstract concepts such as math and programming, I can sometimes learn faster or gain more complete knowledge by watching videos on a subject. Sometimes visuals that are in motion make it much easier to understand concepts that are very difficult to explain in human language. I believe the written word is ill suited for expressing a lot of information that is less tangible.

Videos are usually a good supplement to reading, at least for me.

I also don't regret spending time to watch a documentary or the news if my brain needs a rest after a work day. And some new knowledge is imparted on me.
The best definition of "undefined behavior" is: "if some other company created a clone of this console by following the spec to the letter, but otherwise making all their own decisions... would this game run?"

Of course, if you don't have cloners immediately nipping at your heels, you might end up releasing a smash hit that takes advantage of UB in a way that forces you to define the behavior as "it works however it needs to work to keep that game working", because eventually you yourself (the original console manufacturer) will tape out later revisions of the CPU, and you'll want to make sure they can run that game, given that it's "officially licensed" by you.

If you had the right static analysis tools in play, though, you might have wanted to run them over the game, notice the use of UB, and thus fail the game at the QA stage, before things need to escalate to that point.
Yeah it is absolutely amazing for exactly that and yes it has a good approach to the distributed cluster problem. Once you put it in production there a very different picture.

Some people have legitimate problems with Amazon, the way it treats its workforce, the effect is has on the global marketplace. This isn't just because Bezos is extremely wealthy and Amazon valued so highly.

Emissivity is mostly what matters in this case.

Whether the material is reflective or transmissive just means you'll be "seeing" IR sources reflected off the target or from behind the target, respectively. You do have to keep that in mind if there's an object not in ambient temperature in those locations (e.g. a clear sky is of very low temperature, a person is around 35C).
> Humans can drive that fast in such low visibility, but we (often) have enough brains not to.

I think your "(often)" is doing a lot of work in this sentence.

There are many unsafe conditions that don't require an icy road plus fog plus highway speeds: any bad thunderstorm is likely to combine poor visibility and the risk of puddles/hydroplaning, for example. But the highways don't clear out during summer thunderstorms; people seem (from their actions) content to take the risk.

If self-driving cars become common and maintain a high safety standard, I think we'll also need to see a culture shift. People will have to become comfortable saying (and hearing) "the roads aren't safe right now, so I'll not be there on time."
Since we're being sticklers, your use of "By accident" should have been in quotes.

They do - TaxHawk (who also owns FreeTaxUSA.com) is an ethical full feature tax prep software company. Federal return is free (for everyone) and state is $15 (for everyone). No nag screens, no dark patterns. You can even file your federal without filing your state and not pay a dime, no problem. The UI is good (and the UI is the whole reason I'm using tax prep software over paper forms)

Been using them for like six year at least.
Does it matter whether the limit is physical or practical? On average, people use much less data when it's confined to a single phone than when they can share it with laptops.

I'm not a lawyer so I don't pretend to know what GDPR does and does not allow but this kind of data collection and analysis can be done entirely internally to the company so I'd be surprised if it was prohibited. This is just normal operation of a retail business.

I'm also not familiar with what you sign away with a credit or debit card but I would not be surprised if it included this tracking since that's a core part of the credit card business model.

I do admit to almost complete ignorance on this topic however so you could be right.

One thing HIBP does is match a password against a list of half a billion leaked passwords without regard for the username portion of the credentials. They do it because of the NIST guidance to compare credentials to known data leaks. The same NIST who's previous guidance was a complicated password entropy algorithm, which they later dropped.

I've always questioned the logic making 500,000,000 passwords off limits when no connection is made to the username. Work-factor hashing algorithms, rate limiting account locking and 2FA are supposed to protect user from brute force attacks. I think they can handle an attack based on 500 million possibilities.

Now, if they matched the username/password pair, that would be great.

Some of the big brands have the leverage and resources to do stuff like this. And key factoid you're missing--the store is contractually obligated to pay Frito for the product. Frito is just being creative with the terms to entice stores to give it extremely preferential in-store placement, which leads to more sales, which means the stores buy more product from Frito.

In Frito's case, everything described is a marketing activity--which is precisely the differentiator between normal brands and retail brands. Frito is just a lot more involved in on-the-ground marketing activities than most product brands. (In the past, Frito was one of the companies that threatened to pull its products when a grocery chain--I think Albertsons--tried to push store brands over national brands.)

Another deeply-involved brand: Budweiser, for example, can also make significant demands on convenience and liquor stores with respect to marketing placements, shelf placement, etc., as a condition of the store being allowed to sell Budweiser products. Budweiser will even demand that stores report hourly sales of alcohol during big event windows so that Budweiser delivery crews can keep high-volume stores properly stocked.
Wherat is my evenings & weekends project to simplify throwing a party to such a degree that even the laziest of my friends will overcome their apathy and start celebrating their birthdays. Heck, they may even enjoy it for once.

I started working on this because last year I broke a promise to myself that I always throw a party for my birthday to celebrate life, love, happiness. Even I am apparently too apathetic sometimes. To prevent this from ever happening again, I started building Wherat.

Today, we help you:
- Start organizing in time for your friends to join
- Ask your guests questions
- Calculate the number of drinks & snacks to buy

More like I subscribe to Netflix but want to watch 2 shows at once which is permitted by my subscription. The provider/Netflix could restrict me to one stream to prevent sharing but doesn't or pushes a family plan to allow many streams. My cell provider used to restrict tethering but no longer does so. I'd be looking for a rate decrease if either company reduced my service below my current contract.

The sharing with other people component may be specific to the service and with Netflix probably outweighs users actually watching 2 streams on 2 devices whereas with tethering I think it's more likely sharing a connection with another device the subscriber owns like work PC when traveling or a media device on the go like tablet or computer.

I used to download the whole file and check locally, but it’s too much of a pain to do consistently.

Hi Justin! Ben here, co-founder of Wren. COTAP is a great organization, and the non-profit filings are a good, fundamental way to verify that they exist and are doing what they say. In response to why Wren, our philosophy is that most individuals—perhaps most of you on HN excluded—don't spend the time to figure how to contribute to stopping climate change, let alone carbon reduction projects, and certainly don't spend additional time following up on the additionality and usage of their donations. On top of that, there is a great opportunity to stitch this community together and create a place where ideas can be shared around climate reduction, projects can be supported in tandem, and ideas can be brought forward for how to reduce your carbon footprint. We're only a few weeks old and a lot of this is ambition, but our goal is to expand upon an individual's initial excitement around doing something about climate change.

Not too many people might use the car exactly like that, and I do it only when I actually need to get the car there. Otherwise flying is more pleasant. But there are quite a few use cases where recharge/refuel time, usually for people who need cars to make a living.

Personally, I just will not, ever, buy anything from Musk, because I think that he is a terrible (even by SV standards) person, but yeah, sure, Teslas obviously work for some people. But saying that they are the bestest, uncompromiziest, never before had the world seen anything as awesome super-vehicles is just ridiculous.

If anything, driving across Southern US, even if you are on a leisurely road trip, in a car with cooled seats (a $30K Hyundai works) is far more pleasant than in a car with fart jokes.

> If you need for people to restructure their laws and cities solely to accommodate your new technology,

To be fair, this did happen -- with cars.

But that also sets the bar: to warrant re-architecting cities, an advance needs to be as superior to cars as cars were to horse transport.
Oh there is a very clear distinction, and even one aspect of it that is even super clear for an end user like you and me: warranty (it's not the only or even main one, but it's one that as direct effect for you and me when we buy things).

Current law for electronics is, 2 year warranty minimum, your point of contact is the seller. Oftentimes after a few month they redirect you to the manufacturer for the warranty, but if you get in conflict with him, in terms of the law, the onus of the 2 year warranty is on the seller. So if I buy a Samsung phone in Carrefour, and my phone fails, usually after the first week they will redirect me to Samsung, but if Samsung refuses to deal with me for one reason or another, it's Carrefour that has the obligation to fix my issue.

The law was made that way with the benefit of the end user in sight, I used Samsung but I could have used "random brand with no presence here and very hard to contact", so since it's the store that sold it to you, they are the one responsible to fix the issue.

When going through a marketplace, the seller is not the marketplace. Now, Amazon is rather clean on that one, and they deal with it as if they were, but buy from Cdiscount's or Fnac.com's marketplace and quickly you realize that hiding behind "I'm a marketplace" covers their ass since you need to deal with the actual seller, even if it's some random chinese import company.

And in the end, whether the distinction are large or not doesn't matter, they're two different things with different rights and obligations, and you're one, you can't benefit of being the other.

In my experience people cook what their parents cooked. The immigrants from the middle east cooked middle eastern food, the native Europeans cooked European food etc. And those immigrants were very poor, so being poor is not really an excuse. Also they open their own stores stocking wares useful for middle eastern food in areas with lots of immigrants, so food deserts becomes opportunities for poor people to make a career. This means that there are basically no undeserved areas, if people live somewhere there will be ways to buy healthy food there.

Why isn't this happening in the US? Do people suddenly forget how to cook when they move there? Or is it the strange zoning laws which prevents people from opening local stores with affordable groceries? Or is it some selection effect, like people who cares about food don't immigrate there? I mean, if fresh produce would sell then grocery stores would obviously stock them. And fresh produce sells very well basically everywhere else in the world, so what is the problem with USA?
