>Just a little reminder from Xerox / prepared by Needham, Harper & Steers Advertising, Inc. -- Not even Xerox can Xerox / prepared by Needham Harper Worldwide, Inc. (March 1985) -- Once a trademark, not always a trademark / [Xerox Corporation].

>Though it was a long time ago, I recall that my law school Business Torts casebook contained a copy of Xerox’s old ad, “Not Even Xerox Can Xerox”, which Xerox used to promote proper use of its trademark and fight genericide. Back in the day, Xerox was by far the most well-know copier brand, leased by offices all over. In this day and age, now that most people have a copier at home (as part of a multifunction printer) and it could be a Canon, HP, Brother, Epson or other brand, I think the younger folk are not so likely to refer to copying as “Xeroxing”. It poses an interesting quandary: Xerox may be winning the genericide war but they are no longer dominating the competition. Which is preferable?

>Proper Use of the LEGO Trademark on a Web Site

>If the LEGO trademark is used at all, it should always be used as an adjective, not as a noun. For example, say "MODELS BUILT OF LEGO BRICKS". Never say "MODELS BUILT OF LEGOs". Also, the trademark should appear in the same typeface as the surrounding text and should not be isolated or set apart from the surrounding text. In other words, the trademarks should not be emphasized or highlighted. Finally, the LEGO trademark should always appear with a ® symbol each time it is used.

>In a well-reasoned opinion, the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals recently held that the GOOGLE trademark has not suffered death by genericide – even if the public uses it as a verb for searching the Internet.

>The case before the court sprang from the registration of 763 domain names that incorporated the term GOOGLE. After losing a domain name dispute arbitration, the domain name owners sued to have various trademark registrations for GOOGLE cancelled, claiming that the mark had become generic for the act of searching the Internet. The court rightly observed that a claim of genericide must always relate to specific goods or services, and that use of “google” as a verb for searching the Internet was not sufficient evidence that GOOGLE had become generic for “search engine services” or any other goods or services.

>The general rule of thumb is that trademarks are best thought of as “adjectives” that modify a generic noun. But this “part of speech” approach is not determinative to whether a mark has become generic. And while for years Xerox sought to instill in the public’s mind the trademark significance of XEROX by stating that “not even Xerox can xerox,” evidently Google can google without destroying the mark.

Opt out is good. But I just want to weigh in for the statistics that I have almost zero concerns about anonymous crash reports. I worry a lot more about whether products requires internet connections to their manufacturers to work ten years later, than whether they send home crash data.

If it’s clearly indicated and has an opt out I’m fine with it. I’d go so far as preferring it over opt-in, because I want my product to have the improvements of as many crash reports as possible.

Obviously, by “crash log” I hope they gather call stacks - not memory content, since memory content could contain data that I wouldn’t want collected.
The original oil well is probably the ultimate example of how the best ideas often sound completely insane.

Scientists have actually figured out most of the causes behind patients' symptoms

Is this actually true? If so, how widespread is this knowledge, and is there a mechanism for turning science into practice?
With NPM as an example to fully know every dependency is a highly time-intensive and complicated task due to following:

* you can't be sure code in package is same you see on github as npm doesn't do signatures

* code already in node_modules is usually minified and obfuscated

So only real way to be sure is to make own repository, copy every dependency, check code, build own packages and only use packages from your repo. Repeat process when versions are updated.

So to answer your question, yes, 99% of apps, they don't know.
"Write structured info instead of text logs" is a suggestion which comes up frequently at HN. There's nothing bad at it, the advantages are clear.

Nevertheless, text logs are hard to kill because they are dumb easy to implement both in new codes as well as in legacy ones. And again, there's nothing bad at it -- text lines can be parsed when needed and evaluated statistically. There are many many tools which do that on various levels.

The thing is -- there is hardly a problem to solve here. logrotate helps to save disk space, legacy tools do their job, new ones use fancy APIs which avoid plaintext.
How does this bond with existing concrete? Could it be used for repairs/renovations of existing structures.

Also - reinforced concrete works as the steel rods that give the concrete strength, expand and contract at exactly the same rate as concrete. Is that still the same with this version?

The point is that those 250 countries all have different legislation and cultures. The only concern is not "we don't want the Chinese government to have access to user data". That's the only concern for Gitlab (well that and not violating US laws in regards to who they can do business with), but it is not as simple for many other companies.

Going from a whitelist to a blacklist is hard because you need to either individually vet every country and decide if they're ok, or you need to just assume a lot of countries are ok.

Going from a blacklist to a whitelist is obviously trivial.
Apple’s operating systems have been randomizing MAC addresses since late 2014 (or before). So the MAC address has not been a unique device identifier for users of Apple devices.
Well, ignoring the fact that WLAN/Ethernet won’t work without drivers (since internet is a bad idea with XP anyway), Sound and graphics don’t work either. So games are out, which is really the only reason I have for running XP. It’s too limited without working drivers and can’t be considered a working system.
As most who's ever worked with web hosting can confirm, small business customers often have no idea of what they're doing, and I've talked to many people who switched providers after seeing an ad for cheap hosting, without realising that they have to a) wait for the DNS changes to propagate, b) that they have to actually move their web site from one provider to another.

Subsequently, my previous employer lowered the default TTL simply because it got rid of all the bad Trustpilot ratings about customers being "prevented from leaving", and started offering a "move my WordPress site for me" service to profit from all the panicking new-comers who had no idea about how to do trivial things like importing/exporting a database and transferring files.

> If they can, does this also mean the employee has no legal recourse since NSLs must be kept secret?

No, because that would be unconstitutional. But the proceedings of objecting to a NSL similarly must be kept secret. There wouldn't be any point to the secret component of a NSL if the recipient could object and hash out the merits of the request in public court records.
I don't think those have chemistries with triplet states.
Constitutionally speaking, the President does not require a security clearance; the President ex officio has unlimited access to classified information. If there are concerns the President may be vulnerable to foreign influence, the constitutional processes to address those concerns are election and impeachment not security clearances.

You are missing the fact that dependency tree is constantly changing as dependencies get bug fixes and security patches, so in the middle of your review you will be forced to re-check.

Unless you are willing to freeze whole tree until review is done but then you don't get bug fixes and security updates for period of initial review + review of updated packages.

Same here. Also the USB part was mentioned in several news outlets. Iirc, Win95 had no USB support. So it either was only parts of the system that ran in it, or something got messed up during reporting. Because I faintly remember an earlier report that only mentioned Word 95, which would make a little more sense as that should run on more recent versions of Windows.

>None of these are giving Apple a direct advantage.

>I bet Electron tried to access to them to draw web pages smoothly.

How is this not a direct advantage? If these uncommented API calls provide a better performing solution than anything a third party can make then that is a direct advantage. Apps with that call could have a longer battery life or just run smoother.
Support asked me to authorize their access by replying "OK" to an email of them. I asked to know more about this and they said that only trained engineer will access my data, and that they would wait for me to reply OK to their email before to do so...
It used to be open for most things. Doesn't seem to be that way for at least the last 6 months or so (may more).
While this decision looks rational and technically solid on the surface, it makes the Mac platform, and in particular the Mac app store, even less appealing to developers.

Here on HN we hear constantly of developers dropping out of the Mac app store. If we cobsider the premium (justified or not) of apple laptops, and thus the relatively limited audience they target, we can easily predict a steeper decline in interest to develop for the Mac platform.

Having said that, we should also consider that Electron is indirectly owned by Microsoft, and is based on tech by Google. So I don't see much incentive on their part to fix this quickly, and one could even argue that they have some interest in not fixing at all this.

Given that, by definition, the majority of end users are on “Big Email”, if all of them adopt it, it will already have vastly more practical benefits than DANE has had thus far.

So, give any quote from the link or elsewhere that in any way shows the reasoning for this consideration is based on how much they don’t like Chinese people or how inferior they are as a race. People keep throwing around the racist label even when it’s absolutely clear that it’s not about race. It’s about the Chinese and Russian governments and how they operate. These are legitimate informational/operational security concerns that can’t be waved away with "well, it’s racist to protect ourselves, so we just won’t".

Gitlab can restrict SRE selection for concerned clients and change their process to make sure every SRE doesn’t have access to every client. I’m sure some Chinese companies wouldn’t be happy to have American SREs access their data either and I can think about dozens other countries with political issues against each other.

But off topic, I’m wondering how many companies have similar policies that nobody knows just because they don’t have “open-source” policy.

Sadly recruitment process is polluted with many hidden policies and while we appreciate and expect honesty and transparency from applicants, the recruiters themselves aren’t anything close to honest and transparent.

Knowing every transitive dependency in your application stack is totally unrealistic and is pretty much impossible for any modern commercial software outside of specialized/embedded systems.

Having knowledge of every dependency explicitly linked into your application is a basic tenet of software development that literally every software professional would endorse as a necessary best practice, but it's not what we're talking about here. I am 100% certain that every developer with a commercial Electron app is aware that they are relying on Electron as a dependency and Github as a trustworthy software vendor.
I still have a very old USB key with Puppy Linux on it from, back a darker time when I didn't have my own computer.

I've booted quite a few very old systems with it, probably down to Pentium-era machines, and things usually ran well. I do remember it was quite RAM intensive due to having a relatively large filesystem in RAM. I'd say 64 MB is a minimum if you actually want to use it for anything.

All computers probably are not running Windows 95, many are newer. But I understood the point here is that judges take files home (maybe using floppies?) and use their own computers to work on them. And when at home, they are not supposed to take local backups, but some did it anyway.

It's also suspected that the infection of malware came via a private computer handling the files.

Again, Google Translate does a decent job:

Infection may be through private computers

Many of them have in the past, also because of the often outdated service computers, taken office data on storage media such as USB sticks home and worked there in the home office. The fear of having infected the private computer with the virus is great - and apparently justified. The Federal Office for Information Security advises in case of infection with the Emotet virus to a reorganization of the affected computer. Current information about the virus further states: "Emotet is considered one of the biggest threats of malware worldwide."
