The giant still has legs of clay.

China still has an overwhelming edge in manufacturing, with Vietnam and Thailand being years away from reaching even 10% of its capacity.

They can easily legally mandate everybody to use "Huaweidroid" and make sure that chipmakers bake in their key fingerprints, so the firmware can't be changed outside of China.

With anything like that unfolding, there will simply be no way out of this for Google, unless they commit to a truly herculean task of starting own manufacturing somewhere else. But even in this case, they will have to commit to competition with now much cheaper "Huaweidroid" based phones
If that is the case, Google has a process for explicitly relinquishing their claim on copyright to the creator.

The intent of this policy is to make it clear that creators have to go through that process if they want to use something they fabricated as a side project independently.

Well that's just not true. Have you ever driven across the border into either country from the US? You pass through Mexico or Canada's customs checkpoint. It's not until your return that you pass through the US' checkpoint.

_why's interview with DHH was 15 years ago this week
I think you make an excellent point, in particular regarding the fact that this is a US-based policy.

US copyright law is extremely friendly to individual creators at the expense of corporations. It makes corporations bend over backwards to avoid getting into a messy legal dispute with somebody that they've employed to create for them. This policy is so broad because if an individual Google employee were to try and claim that basically anything they came up with (including things that were, common sense dictates, done as work for Google) had been done on their own time, the burden of proof would be on Google to prove otherwise.

> The regulator had asked Google to change all its software distribution agreements to allow consumers to choose different search engines in its Android mobile operating system.

Hang on a second... why does the MS regulation to offer browser choice on first run apply to this already?
> Oh, please. It's standard industry practice for companies to claim ownership of everything a software engineer comes up with, even "on their own time". ... So anyone who think this is some evidence of Google being, or becoming, evil is either seriously misinformed, or just engaging in unthinking hate of Google, or both.

The fact that every other US company is as evil does not make Google any better. The practice is evil, thus Google is evil.

The US got some economic leeway from California and a few other states banishing that exact practice. If they start to backtrack on that, you can expect the entire country to suffer on a couple of decades.
So what? most of us are "under pressure" to go to work every day, earn a fraction of what these people make, and sometimes we need a break and feel burned out. I don't understand why I should feel sorry for millionaires "working so much, they have more money than they can spend". Then work less..
> I also serve many domains with this project so I don't have the nice DNS-01 ACME verification features because not all DNS providers have an API.

My work's DNS provider does not have a handy API, so if we want a cert for the internal-only foo.example.com, we point _acme-challenge.foo to _acme-challenge.foo.dnstest.example.com. And the NS server for the dnstest.example.com lives in our DMZ and is only there to answer ACME queries from Let's Encrypt. We set up some scripting to allow updates to the NS server via nsupdate.

And there are ACME clients written specifically around the idea of having the client run on a different system than the web server:

with online computing where is the line drawn for employee vs employer equipment? lets say i have a personal aws account and i ssh into an ec2 instance, but use my employers laptop to access it to have the information displayed. The same can also be said for a home computing resource. Who's also paying for the electric for that equipment to be used? My employer provided laptop wouldn't run if I didn't pay my personal electric bill. I think there's likely a big gray area that hasn't been explored yet. I've not heard of any cases where any of this comes into play.

"Name a few please."

I already mentioned the Cook paper that gave us the "97% consensus" number.

(Edit: for completeness sake, here is an article debunking the number. I haven't read it and don't know if it has any merit, it is just the first Google result. https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2014/02/debunking_the_9... - the point stands, though, that you can find articles refuting pretty much anything you want, these days).

Other than that, I didn't keep track, and I only encounter such discussions randomly every now and then.

I would wager a guess, that you could find a counter reaction for most important climate science papers. Just google for them.

"But some people do. They published the results. They can be verified and reproduced. It's called science. "

In principle, yes, but your idea of science is highly idealized. In reality, most things are not as established and as verified as you believe them to be. Politics, egos, all sorts of things play a part. If you look back in history, there are many cases where people believed wrong things until their main representatives died, for example.

Also one problem with climate science is presumably that you can not simply do experiments to verify its claims. That might a huge part of the problem.

Again it mostly boils down to trust - trusting the scientists who do the verifying, trusting the institutions who employ and endorse the scientists.

What you and climate doomsayers don't seem to understand is that a lot of people don't trust the institutions anymore. And rightfully so.

I suspect a lot of the rage is actually about this: people who can't stand the thought that the institutions they trust can't be trusted, so fighting any challenges to their world view with tooth and nails.

And people who feel betrayed by the institutions they used to trust.

That doesn't mean all science is false. But it makes it harder to find the truth.

People with actual authority should know better than to try and write simply by asserting their own authority; they should be able to source their statements and give proper references, like professionals. It’s when they don’t do that, and treat Wikipedia like their own private blog, that trouble ensues: Other Wikipedia editor and admins demand proper references, which these people interpret as an affront to their personal expertise, and it goes downhill from there.

Instead, people with actual expertise should realize that for Wikipedia, their expertise is not in the actual subject matter, but their value as experts is instead in knowing where to find proper references to things which most people might know already about the subject. This is where they can really contribute.

>The current one only has the "using company equipment".

In that case, it makes a lot of sense just to keep the two domains separate. The flip side of a laptop being a relatively inexpensive piece of semi-commoditized gear if that, if there's a good reason to have a separate computer for personal projects, it's not really a big deal to do so.
My words exactly. There's over 3000 phrasal verbs in English and memorizing them is pain in the hole (plus it makes no sense). The only effective way of learning them is to submerge yourself in the language by listening to plenty of audiobooks or moving abroad where English is spoken natively.

I'm Polish myself and hit a hard wall with phrasals when I moved over to Ireland 13 years ago. I still keep discovering new ones every now and then despite living here for over a decade.

Hmm... this is interesting. I would like to learn more about how this works, given apple's history, my guess is they won't advertise such solutions until they have either developed their own camera, or have struck some deal with a 3rd party. I'd still likely plunk down the inflated price if their privacy model was actually proven.

I've looked into flashing a CFW on a cheap Xaomi ip camera, running ZoneMinder and a NAS for storage and backups and whatnot, and while setting all this up is pretty trivial, I feel like I'd be better off just paying for a commercial system rather than administering my own. But then you look into the security practices in such systems and well, lets just say, off the shelf isn't really a great option either.

Spelling is a difficult part of learning English language, more so if your language has a what-you-read-is-what-you-pronounce pattern like Indian languages.

nonsense, that's saying that no kind of science based on probabilities could survive because it's difficult to run a deterministic experiment. if that was the case then things like climate science, atmospheric science and meteorology would be unable to exist in the first place.
While true this is way more complicated an explanation than using more traditional concepts. This also barely scratches the surface of useful music theory as it doesn't explain note relationships to one another. A 3rd, a 5th, a 7th, a 9th, etc are fundamentally important concepts to grasp. Also your comment about modes being the key to composing music intelligently is somewhat nonsense. Most jazz players will tell you that understanding the chord/melody relationship is far more important than worrying about what mode you're playing in, particularly in an improvisational setting. It's way more useful to understand that you're playing a ii v7 I and know what triads are available to you as well as maybe which color tones are useful to Target than to try to keep track of which mode you should/could play over a given chord. You're better off understanding the function of a chord in a key.

Our lack of IP assignment waiver was red-flagged during a VC due-diligence exercise. It became a non-negotiable item, and we got all our employees to sign a waiver. Our waiver has an exclusion list similar to Google's IARC, but unlike Google we have allowed 100% of all exclusions that employees have submitted.

It did seem the VCs were far more worried about a rogue former employee somehow acquiring IP rights over our core IP than stealing unrelated work from our employees. No-one has been able to explain to me how this might happen though; I suspect it's all paranoia.

And the opposite way when I go home.

Obligatory XKCD: https://xkcd.com/927/
"I was doing the literal opposite of cherry-picking, I was digging into the arguments as they were presented to me. So far nothing has held up. If you can give me an argument with a proper source I'll happily look into that as well."

Again, that is exactly how your opponents feel.

" there is support for the precise number of 97%. [0]"

You are merely appealing to authority. I already told you why I think the number is questionable, yet you keep at it. All your reference tells me is that the NASA is not an honest player in the debate and can't be trusted. Since I already looked into the papers that produced the consensus numbers, yet NASA chooses to use the numbers anyway. Since I have to assume NASA has the capacity to understand those papers, I have to assume they choose to selectively quote them out of political motivation. So they don't count as honest scientists anymore. (Honest Scientist = people who are dedicated to finding the truth, not just in validating their beliefs).

And it very much contains a scientific argument, by proxy - since we can only trust the scientists, not verify their claims, if you claim the scientists support your arguments, you are making the claim that your arguments are backed by science. It is very relevant.

It may also be one of the most cited claims in the whole debate.

"High energy particle physics is mostly gibberish to me, yet I don't go around lecturing people on how it's all wrong."

But you also don't go around and educate people on particle physics. There are no stakes for most of us (unless you count the cost in tax payer money for building particle accelerators). Not the same with CO2.

"> And in the end your refutation boils down to "we know that CO2 traps heat and warms the earth"

It absolutely does not, I was addressing a very specific point about how historic CO2 levels are measured."

Yes you did, all you said is "we know how CO2 works", "we know" was your entire argument:

"Importantly, of course, none of this is really that relevant to the discussion of anthropogenic global warming, since we know that we are putting CO2 into the atmosphere, and that CO2 in the atmosphere traps heat."

"the whole discussion can be followed with a bit of high school physics, chemistry and biology, plus Wikipedia to fill in the gaps. Your next point shows that you were unwilling to put in that effort, but it isn't actually that hard"

Oh so you claim the authority of a climate scientist now, because it is oh such a simple subject? You took some high school physics, Wikipedia, and now you are an expert on climate?

I don't think anybody doubts that CO2 can trap heat in principle. But going from that to a doomsday scenario is a little bit more complex.
