How hard is it to request a list from Nintendo on what products they are currently manufacturing? They can create a policy were they only gate products those companies are currently selling. We are talking about millions of dollars for this brand only. If this continues to happen across the platform it can amount to billions of dollars of lost sales. Also Amazon would much rather take a cut from a third party seller (regardless if that seller makes money or not) versus sell it themselves.

I keep hearing from the Dev-Shops, that ".Net Core" will be replacing "Full .Net" w.r.t. long-term support from Microsoft, and that .Net Projects should be checked for availability of a migration path to .Net Core.

Is this a (future) concern for the F7M, and projects running on it?

Since it's IOT, these things can be expected to be found installed for much longer than 5 years, so continuing long-term (security) support seems important.
It's probably more attributed to browsers marking non-https as 'Not Secure' than anything but LetsEncrypt definitely has had a substantial impact to make that change possible.

Pretty much all hate speech is censored on social media platforms. So is calling for or promoting violence against certain groups. Harrassment is also prohibited on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.

There's a pretty good meme about differences between European and American media take on censorship [0].

It's now locked behind an Imgur login due to being NSFW (over a single nipple), but the basic premise is that US media would censor a nipple away, leaving the person recognizable, while European media didn't take issue with the nipple, but instead censored her face to protect her identity.

Which is a pretty good example of how different cultures prioritize things differently. Scale that up to the reality of the tech space being dominated by US companies, and suddenly US cultural norms largely became established as global norms [1].

Before the Internet, US soldiers stationed in other countries had a very similar effect: They also brought their culture with them, which often was considered way more exotic than anything local. Decades later nobody even much cares or notices how US influenced much of our culture has become in Western Europe.

1) It's irrelevant because First Sale Doctrine (SCOTUS Bobbs-Merrill Co. v. Straus 1908 and 17 U.S.C. 109) extinguishes any distribution rights a copyright owner might have to a copy which has been (legally) sold.

2) The "principles" aren't my interpretation, they are derived from common-law and codified under "Fair Use" (17USC107). Additionally (108-112) adds specific cases which are automatically deemed Fair Use. More Fair Use cases may be determined by some administrative actions, including determinations by the US Library of Congress.

I'm merely arguing CleanFlicks falls under the principles general Fair Use (107) if not already covered by one of the specified use exemptions (108-112 et al).

>There has never been a precedent saying that you could modify a work as you see fit and redistribute it.

Sony Corp. v. Universal City Studios (464 U.S. 417) (1984) is the infamous betamax case, which legalized time-shifted viewing, even when the viewer had to make an "unauthorized copy" of up to and including 100% of the content in order to accomplish it, as it involved content freely broadcast over-the-air. As one of the codified principles of Fair Use takes into account the proportion of the work copied, this and their language in the case text implies a less than 100% copy would be permissible as well.

The CleanFlicks technology is simply an automated version of the betamax time-shifting.

>Yes that “process” is that the copyright holder edits the content. Not some random third party

Sometimes they might sell/license a censored version, but certainly not always. And not some random third party, but a party that has legally licensed use of the work (including broadcasters, DVD purchasers, or broadcast viewers).

For example, South Park refused to edit their Mohammed episode, but Comedy Central edited it themselves before broadcast. And I seriously doubt copyright owners edit their works for time-compression; it's TBS-TNT-etc that are trying to cram-in more commercials and have rigid scheduling to accommodate. Also, it's now standard practice for broadcasters to edit, time-compress, or completely re-create the credits of TV shows, which are certainly considered to be part of the copyrighted work, as they are typically overlaid earlier in the episode.

There was a time when I trusted Amazon reviews, but the 5-star bots, and now the 1-star griefers, have totally eradicated any trust I have in that system. Amazon's crowdsourced methodology has been corrupted by greed.

Reddit works for now, but I also question the long-term sustainability of Reddit. Popular Reddits are clearly becoming more-and-more visited by shills and marketing teams. This is useful in some Reddits (ex: /r/AMD) for now, since it provides a communication channel to the company. But there's this feeling of astroturfing that I can't shake... a more "malicious" company could very well ruin the careful balance we have.

In the long term, its clear to me that marketing shills will too ruin the Reddit / community methodology. Its impossible to tell who is, or who isn't, a shill. After all, shills simply pretend to be fanboys posting from normal accounts, and they're getting better at it.

In the longer term, I think something old-school, like Consumer Reports, is best. What we really need is a team of trusted 3rd party reviewers, who are independently funded __outside__ of the advertisement system.

Yes, OUTSIDE the advertisement system. So that kills YouTube (yeah, Gamer's Nexus is good but... Steve constantly has to worry about pissing off his advertisers. Same with Linus Tech Tips: they're subservient to the ads whether they like it or not). It also kills most websites, which are reliant upon ad revenue. Its absolutely imperative that your 3rd party review site has the financial independence to be able to issue "negative reviews".

Even newspapers of old are clearly a poor model: as its basically impossible to tell the difference between an "advertisement-article" and an "actual investigative article" upon publishing. And since most old-school newspapers got money from advertisers, there is still a conflict of interest when you start to follow the money.

Consumer Reports is unfortunately stuck in an age-old era. There needs to be a more modernized version, with more recent hardware reviews, better discussion forums, better community engagement, etc. etc. A combination of Reddit-like discussions, but with a core set of trusted reviewers who can lead the community (and who can be trusted to be "non-shills").

Shills and marketers should be welcome to a site: Marketing is not bad in of itself. But they need to be carefully moderated and probably should be publicly noted as an official representative of a company. Policing shills is probably impossible to enforce in the long run, but the prevalence of trusted writers independent of outside finances is the core issue of trust that needs to be built.
H-1B approvals have risen by over 100k a year since 2015
Don't make the mistake of thinking that the Chinese don't know that.

It's long been my opinion that you simply cannot destroy the west without mutually assured destruction, so nukes are out. You can't invade and subsequently operate because Americans will never acquiesce to foreign rule, and we are individually armed.

The only way to undo the US/west is to have it undo itself. Seed dissent and promote divisions and hatred among its people. Maybe I was shielded from this as a kid, but it seems these divisions are hatred are sharply on the rise as of late, and it's not outside the realm of possibility this is due to foreign influence via social networks.
No, current constitution was redacted after the death of the dictator. There were mainly seven people involved in writing it. Between them, there was a communist, a socialist, a representative of the Basque and Catalan minorities, and only one who came from previous governments during the dictatorship. By the way, two of these seven people (the communist one and the representative of Basque-Catalan minorities) were from Catalonia (this is almost the perfect proportion taking into account the fraction of Spain that Catalonia represents, but if you know that Spain has 17 autonomous regions, it is obvious that Catalonia was not misrepresented).

You will read several comments here saying similar things (I have read something like that this constitution was only voted because the only other option was another war), but it is simply not true, as you can easily check in any independent source.

We live in fast times.

In a little less than a decade the perception of Google went from 'Best search on the internet' and 'Do no evil' to 'Fuck Google' and 'Delete your accounts with them'; and 'their search has gotten exponentially worse'

No skin in the game from me (I only use Gmail for non-essential shopping), just an observation. Personally, I think it's great. I'm proud to stand with the vocal minority against the rampant data collection and trade.
They don't need to. US laws apply to US operations. France could declined to operate in US.
They shouldn't be left in charge, but they are. No successful attempt has been made to change this in the long run, and no successful attempt has been made to change this in the short run without massive revolution in countries that don't have half the military or mass surveillance structure that the United States does. Capitalism rewards these types, and so does politics, the military, Hollywood, basically everywhere where power structures exist.

All this is doing is allowing the server (or client since the protocol allows client certificates to do the same thing) to use a different key pair with a shorter validity period than the CA signed certificate.

The delegated credential is not another cerificate and doesn't have a DNS name in it at all. The original certificate who's private key was used to create the delegated credential still has that information and the client still gets that. The delegated credential only consists of four pieces of information: validity interval, public key, signature algorithm and signature. I.E. just enough information to provide the public key and verify it is signed by the CA signed certificate.

You don't, though a MS may be borderline necessary. Without a PhD you will likely only lose out on some jobs at companies that are doing hardcore ML research or are simply more invested in the DS hype than actually looking to solve problems with DS.

Good news for sure, but note that this isn't a total Internet scan:

I would be more inclined to trust sources like https://transparencyreport.google.com/https/overview and Firefox Telemetry which come directly from the browsers. But even these do not count data from mobile apps (most of which have to be encrypted now I think), embedded applications, scripts, and APIs.
"It is now well known that neonicotinoids negatively affect pollinators"

Do they?: https://geneticliteracyproject.org/2019/11/01/global-consens...

"Using data on zooplankton, water quality, and annual fishery yields of eel and smelt, we show that neonicotinoid application to watersheds since 1993 coincided with an 83% decrease in average zooplankton biomass in spring, causing the smelt harvest to collapse from 240 to 22 tons in Lake Shinji, Shimane Prefecture, Japan"

Isn't this mistaking correlation with causation? I find this assertion dubious mainly because the mode by which neonicotinoids are applied is by seed coating rather than spraying so how are they getting into water? I don't have access to the full study - did they actually measure water levels of the pesticides and how did they rule out other factors?
You are correct. But working 9-5 in an office doesn't change that. Your work schedule still dictates the broad strokes of your personal schedule, whether you can travel, and such things. Even the concept of "the weekend" exists solely because of work schedules.

Figuring out how to disconnect from work and use the 8 hours of your day that aren't working or sleeping to pursue personal interests is important. The exact answer of how to do that differs between people. But it is a goal worth pursuing.
