That's not how it works, copyright doesn't protect privacy, those are two separate things.

Disney is a company that took folk stories that lived in public domain, packaged it and released as their own. That's ok, the works were public domain anyway.

The problem is that after that, they continue to lobby in a way that no future works will ever enter public domain.

Our constitution says that copyright needs to expire, there is a loophole though, because it doesn't say when it should expire, so every time Mickey Mouse copyright is about to expire they lobby the congress to extend it further.

The copyright originally lasted 10 years, now it's 120 years after author's death.

AMD (and ARM OoO chips) are vulnerable to Spectre variant 1 (bypass in-process array bounds checking) but not to the vast majority (any?) of the other issues which are Intel-only.

AMD chips don't have the feature that speculation failure is determined at instruction commit time when it is already too late, so most issues just can't happen.
Disney has [more] skin in the game now and will always give their own service highly preferential treatment. This isn't just about Mickey Mouse -- Disney owns many other major content producers. Personally, I've been hearing people complain about Disney-owned content disappearing from Netflix for more than a year already.

I'm sure they'll continue to license something to third-party streaming platforms, but they'll do their darnedest to make sure that if consumers are only going to choose one streaming service, it'll be one they control and operate.

It's nothing against Netflix itself -- they're one of the tech companies I admire the most. But they're stuck depending on relatively-short-term license agreements to offer most of the content that people are willing to pay for.

Whether or not the consumer is willing to pay for multiple streaming services, the media companies are going to be much less willing to make the content available outside of their own little streamer. This means rough seas ahead for Netflix.
I'm not sure where you're seeing "unquestioned obedience".

I literally started using GraphViz last Friday, and I'm never giving it up now. My handwriting looks like I've spent the last twenty-five years typing. GraphViz gives me maintainable and updatable diagrams. I just installed the MediaWiki extension on our internal tech wiki.
Practically speaking there's no way to avoid them (or their white-label equivalents) if you're on a typical home budget and you buy any significant number of drives. They're just too cheap (when you get the Easystores) compared to any other way of acquiring a large amount of disk space.

I'd rather buy WD than Seagate, but that's just me. I don't really have a choice. Maybe the only people who have a choice are either in the enterprise or buying one drive every few years for a PC build or something.

Personalised medicine is not about cloud services. It’s about using ML to target healthcare services, for example: predicting patient readmission risk. It’s pretty important, potentially life saving, and can also save millions.

Honesty it’s one of the areas where (in the right hands) I think the benefits of collecting large amounts of data for targeting services to people is justified.

Is Google ‘the right hands’? That’s probably worth debating.
What does your Job title mean?
No. I mean a badge that pops up for Google products warning you that they may send your personal data to Google even without any user interaction, when the user does not reasonably expect this. What happened to "Giving users a better idea about what to expect so they can make more informed decisions"? I guess profit has a stronger scent and we can all assume that Google is tricking users with those "slow loading page" warnings just to get more for themselves. I feel that you are being willfully ignorant about this.

> Both Android and Chrome send data to Google even in the absence of any user interaction. Our experiments show that a dormant, stationary Android phone (with Chrome active in the background) communicated location information to Google 340 times during a 24-hour period, or at an average of 14 data communications per hour. In fact, location information constituted 35% of all the data samples sent to Google.[0]

There is such a thing as too fast. Flight ticket comparison websites like skyscanner.com insert fake progress delays ("scanning airline website") to make it seem like they're spending a lot of effort to do important work for you. Research has shown that, without that delay, users trust such websites less, or value them less, because the instantaneous response time is equated to less valuable work.

Given how common government surveillance is these days, enabled especially by certain companies that consider themselves pioneers in the 5G space, I am not overly convinced that this functionality is unintentional.

Interesting how the GSMA claim that these vulnerabilities are "judged as nil or low-impact in practice". It doesn't sound like low-impact if used to target specific people.

Which, is also why that method for delivering applications has been deprecated for a couple of years.

Now, the prefered way to ship a Java application is to bundle the runtime and the application into a single installer similar to, for example, Electron apps.

Are you overclocking or doing other fancy things? Last time I had an issue with a board was core 2 duo times. PCIe would magically cripple itself to 1x for all slots as soon as I overclocked the CPU. There was a workaround for that on the gigabyte forums. But that's about every problem I ever had.

Haven’t seen anything related to third-parties service that your cloud service relies on. I’m talking mostly about APIs that you can use that might crash at some time. Any recommendations on that part?
You need to tell the user that the message has been sent. If nothing happens when you press the button (just an ajax call, no refresh) the user will think there is something wrong.

The reverse can be used in an UI to tell the user that something went wrong, for example in a window pull-down menu, don't hide the menu right away, do what the user request, then hide the menu, so if it the request didn't complete, the menu will still be visible.
While this is true, the prospect seems exciting to me because best in class ML might be a thing that could drive Swift towards better cross platform support.

Of course not, but there is a degree of proportionality here. In theory a person's personal diary, letters, chequebook etc could contain evidence of crimes. However it's generally not been considered appropriate to read through them during a customs search.

The rights granted under the constitution were provided explicitly under the knowing assumption that they could be used to conceal actual crimes or criminal intent. That's the point of them needing protection from the authorities. The mere possibility of committing a crime isn't enough grounds to invade a person's privacy to that degree. You need actual reason to suspect it in an individual case to go that far.

When we see a banned account that has been consistently posting good comments, we unban it. If you see one of those, you should let us know at hn@ycombinator.com. We appreciate users looking out for each other and always look closely at these requests.

Much more common is banned accounts that post a mixture of good comments and ones that break the site guidelines. Those, unfortunately, we can't unban, for the obvious reason that the bad comments do more harm than the good ones add value. That's why we introduced vouching: so the good comments can still make it through.

Sometimes we unban accounts and as soon as they're unbanned they revert to breaking the site guidelines. Then we ban them again and they start posting good comments again. The human heart has murky depths.

Intel has become big and rich and has stopped (or perhaps never was) being very responsible. Given their fairly entrenched position in the industry, it's doubtful this strategy will impact their profit all that much and therefore we can expect to see more of this behaviour in the future.
I wouldn't proceed. The problem is your partner did his work previously and your friend feels like he has a 100 million dollar worth of value.

How is he going to extract that 100 million? Through the company you will build for him. Any licease he assigns he will want 100m value for it. If things go well problems will start over how much each should get. If things don't he has an escape route ready. Worse if things go really well he can sell a licease to another company with bigger pockets.

I would create my own company and buy access to his patient through a percent of ownership + a fixed amount per product/service sold for a period of time with the right to renew.
That does say a lot about the users, but not about the request speed.
My point was just to show that legal systems differ and the balance between employer and employee rights can vary.

Google has a big data center in Finland. IIRC they stopped their plans for a Berlin lab after visible anti-Google protests in the neighborhood, but I'm sure they have employees somewhere in Germany. International companies just follow local legislation and practices and there is no problem (most of the time at least, there are examples of failure like Walmart trying to expand to Germany with too much of an American management style and eventually giving up).

You wouldn't happen to have a source handy for said research, would you? Genuinely curious.
Just checked it out - it's incredibly stringent. It doesn't adjust your "free board" limit even if you delete a board. Create a board, delete it just to try out the interface? One of your free boards is gone forever.

“De-platforming” and “safe spaces” exist and have been wielded against people who go against existing dogmas and codes of conduct. It is right to be worried about such things. Look at what happened to RMS. He even has a whole section on what gender pronouns to use on his personal webpage. Linus also came into disrepute. I wouldn’t call these men examples of the proverbial 4chan-frequenting incel as you seem to be implying.
I wasn't trying to claim that middle mouse canvas movement didn't work in Lucidchart. The mechanism is just different, and IMO worse, than the one in draw.io. I think if you ask ten users to try both, you'll find a clear preference for the draw.io mechanism. I think it is important because it is an exceedingly commonly used feature.
It's a day one launch of a huge product. I'd imagine they chose a Tuesday release so that they could have time to understand their own scaling issues before the weekend, a freak cold front seemed to sabotage that grace period and yet they responded well.

And then to expand, if you wish to pin one of those packages to a specific rev, the easiest way is to create an "overlay" (it's a Nix design pattern) that you apply to nixpkgs to override whatever version is in your nixpkgs version.
Another big benefit to CI/CD is being able to work on multiple branches in parallel. That means, finishing one branch, sending that to CI/CD, then working on another, sending that to CI/CD, and so on.
Looking at how a law has been implemented in the past is a basic legal principle. The reason for it is to provide context as to the intent and proper way to interpret a law, in order to ensure continuity and consistency in it's application. The idea is that, all other factors being equal, continuity and consistency are desirable.
> Interesting how the GSMA claim

The GSMA is an industry body for coordinating interoperating standards. You couldn’t even say it has been “compromised” because it doesn’t really have any social mandate.

AMD’s speculative execution design is more risk aversive and it isn’t prone to many of the bugs identified so far. Of course this may change but I think it’s more than just scrutiny: AMD speculates less.

Plus, with better IPCs on Ryzen and much greater performance per dollar, why Intel?!

I hear this every time TurboTax gets brought up. I think it's a lot healthier to foster good relationships between users and tech so that they don't have to distrust instantaneous actions.

As an aside, I'm also suspicious of research that shows ~100ms as the threshold for "instantaneous" action, because in video games like FPS shooters most players seem to dislike playing on ping that high.
This is how I felt about Algolia's search when I first enabled it for our Vuepress site at https://developers.kloudless.com/guides/enterprise/ (the search bar at the very top). I assumed it had loaded some kind of index in memory via JavaScript since the XHR requests take < 30 ms (!) from my location in San Francisco, which is pretty much instant. That's faster than the delay between my keystrokes.
HP used to be much more. It was a real innovative company.

Disney is in a tough spot since they also pay dividends. Companies typically don't ever reduce their dividends, which leaves Disney unable to spend that cash on their growth.
While that's true of many products, I don't think it applies to SkyScanner - searching for air fares, especially aggregating multiple sources is actually really slow. They might be setting a minimum loading time so the search doesn't jump around so much, but it would never be even close to the timescales involved in the post. AFAIK Google is the only one that can do it faster due to having their own 'index'.
Book printing has long involved printing pages out of order and in different orientations, so that pages are in the right order when the sheets (called signatures) are bound into the book. See an example here: https://www.formaxprinting.com/blog/2018/01/book-printing-li...
Wow, it looks great!

I don't think anyone seriously expected Intel to be able to thoroughly harden their chips against Spectre-style attacks given just a year to tweak their existing microarchitecture. They were able to move some permissions checks ahead of some speculative actions, but they simply haven't had enough time to design an architecture that can unwind all observable side-effects of mispredictions. It was obvious that all the near-term fixes in silicon would be equivalent to or only slightly better than the microcode or OS-based mitigations.

> I just don't understand why Tesla is slow in expanding to other countries.

They don't have the capacity. Last quarter, they made as many M3s they have the capacity to make, and sold all of them. Opening new markets just means underserving the current ones more. They will start operations in new countries as they increase capacity and start saturating sales in their current ones.

To reiterate the written words from the authors: Intel prevented this particular problem gets to the public and than they flat out lied to the customer.
Generally this problem is solved by having lottery buckets, with higher average grades giving access to a separate bucket (with more spots relative to the applicants). This gives people who "put the work" a higher chance to be admitted.
Tesla is a small scale producer, so their market sizes can be quite small (Norway's population is 5 million and a key market). What drives the market is desire, money and charging. It seems Israel has the first two but hasn't got a good charging infrastructure yet. Once it does, combined with increased incentives for electric cars, I imagine it'll be a good market for them.
> There's no such thing. That's why I mentioned Coppersmith-Winograd.

Ok, but that is purely theoretical nitpick that has nothing whatsoever with what we are talking about. Algorithm courses dont teach Coppersmith-Winograd unless you are in some very special course that is designed for those few people who want exactly that out of interest and curiosity.

> Agree completely, but it's important not to oversell the theory.

The thread is about whether it was shocking for algo prof to not know C++ few dozen years ago. It is not, regardless of how useful C++ and architecture is.
Is it possible to apply the mitigations on an per-application level in Windows? IMHO it'd be pretty useful to be able have them on by default, but disable them for specific applications where you care about maximum performance and know that you won't be running untrusted code.
