Another possible explanation: They have a team of lawyers with the task of enforcing their trademark. It's a machine that went off tracks because they either started doing mass lawsuits or ran out of higher priority targets.

It's like when you have a team of lawyers with the job of looking at contracts and licences, they will start suggesting changes even if that makes no sense because they're paid to suggest changes. See jslint and the special "can be used for evil" licence.

Yeah, fixing that would require breaking "The extension runs completely on your browser. i.e No user data is being sent to a server for processing." as image requests would have to be hashed, checked on a server and only allowed depending on the response.

Yes, but the experience of living there might be very different for the highly affluent people who can invest over a million euro in a citizenship-by-investment program. Many of them don't do their own shopping or will ever deal directly with a plumber or electrician – that is all taken care off by hired staff. Opportunities for culture shock are limited because they have little exposure to the overall local culture, instead they live in a cosmopolitan bubble with people of similar wealth.

I think naming should reflect whether a class encodes business logic or is ‘glue’ to make that work.

Nowadays, many people use languages with huge libraries. Consequently, most logic is business logic. There, name classes (and functions, and argument names) after their business use, not after their implementation.

However, parts that aren’t business logic such as wrappers of external libraries or generic containers you have to implement because they aren’t available in the language’s ecosystem should use generic names, and can use pattern names, because those tell callers what they do.

As a made up (and not that good) example, one would have

def pow(a,b)

but

def valueAfterNYears(initialValue, interestPerYear)

(Yes, these aren’t functionally equal. That’s part of why I said it wasn’t that good of an example)

Author here, thanks for your feedback. This library is calling std::process::command underneath without any shell dependency, which I believe is the same as plumbum’s run* APIs and I should make it clearer in the docs.

This plumbum has its own “cp”, “cat” .., which is similar to shelljs and it looks like a lot of people like this idea which can also be supported by this library in the future.

It's Twitter. You were expecting a nuanced, carefully planned and well thought out essay?

This tweetstorm by Cory is one of the reasons why I keep trying to persuade people to get a blog (again) rather than rambling at length via tweets. A blog post demands at least a minimum of planning and upfront thought about what you want to say, as opposed to being a stream-of-conscious sequence of bite-sized quotes, hopefully connected. Now perhaps some people do plan their tweetstorms carefully, but the medium hardly encourages that or lends itself to a process of vetting, rewriting and editing.

Twitter has its uses. Long (for some value of 'long' here!) form writing is not that.

The janitor is trying to help make packaging less toilsome:

- The janitor is trying to automatically migrate people to newer versions of debhelper, reducing the number of different build system variants.

- The janitor attempts to perform validation of all the long, complex, changing rules for you, so if you meet their requirements then it will propose an upgrade. If the janitor can automatically bring you into compliance with the rules, it will, otherwise it'll leave you upgraded to the step that requires a human to intervene. You can manually upgrade it one step, and then the janitor will loop back around and do the rest for you.

- The janitor will also fix suboptimal, or unnecessary packaging changes and improve them for you too, hopefully leaving you with a much smaller, simpler packaging system that's easier to reason about.
to be fair i always got the exact date and somewhat accurate time for when the switch will be made. I think when switching providers this is mandatory by law to ensure of the continuation of services...
It's not similar.

It's not pro-form.

And that is no risk of losing the trademark here at all.

You can mainly lose trademark through following cases:

- non use

- it becoming generic

- dilution

In this case it's about dilution but for it to dilute a trademark it needs to be similar enough to be easily mixed up.

People tend to not mix up pears with apples.

People tend to be able to differentiate between colors.

The drawing still is different!

There is no bit, which is probably THE major unique part about the Apple logo.

The orientation is different.

So not really any chance for dilution.

By it both not being a Apple and but having the bit as well as the different drawing still they is no chance to confuse it accidentally. And as such no chance for dilution!

Edit: tbh if the US law system wouldn't be so proud on abuse through financial exhaustion this would be a pretty much open and shut case IMHO.
There is a company that was trying to work in this space called VidAngel. https://www.vidangel.com/ I used to use them quite a lot and then they got sued by everyone and now I’m not sure what they are up too. It’s unclear if a company has the right to offer others content in a modified form - ie filtering out unacceptable content.

My favorite thing is that they had a JarJar filter for the Star Wars prequels.

Actually not similar, only the shape is similar. The trick with the "trace italienne" is that each tower (edge of the star) can reach and attack people below the other towers, so each tower is protected by its neighbors.

As far as I can tell, Fort Bourtange never had towers for defense but rather relied on it's walls to protect it enough.

Also, about your point on being expensive - Singtel is the only Telco that doesn't suck in terms of network coverage in the country. Starhub is a close second, with slightly cheaper plans depending on what you're after and M1 is garbage and everyone knows that.

To avoid that complexity I sometimes use a single image for all devices, with high resolution and relatively high level (=low bitrate, low quality) of jpeg compression.

Modern GUI frameworks and browsers use high-quality GPU-based scalers, downscaling an image on a low-DPI device is almost free and gets rid of JPEG artifacts. On high DPI screens pixel density gets rid of these JPEG artifacts as well, unless using a magnifier, glass or software.
> If your testing capability is low, and if people are not being tested, then everything else is a waste of time. Then you add in societal failures like not getting sick pay, or paid time off if you've got the virus, or incentives to work regardless and you realize 'contact tracing' is just another data gathering excuse.

This.

> how important it will be for us to somehow find a way for the people at the top to not lead everyone else down a wrong path.

I've thought about this a lot over the past two decades. If I had to summarize my conclusions in two statements, this would be it:

1. Desperation is the enemy of civilization.

2. The larger the group vilified by an ideology, the more evil that ideology is likely to be.

As an example of (1), we live in a technologically advanced age replete with wealth, but we seem to be driven by competition that has left even billionaire investors feeling desperate to preserve/grow their wealth.

As an example of (2), it is more likely that our perception of a large community is skewed, than that community being wholesale evil. This applies equally to the former Soviet Union, your preferred enemy nation, and also the 50% of your country who are on the opposite side of the left-right divide.

Maybe that's the point he intended to make, what he actually wow is really just a collection of anecdotes about troubles with location based tracking. That's like realizing that it hurts if you hit yourself with a hammer and thus vowing to never again use a screw.

The closest thing be has to an argument against the decentralized proximity approach is a hand-wavy mention of the idea that there might be a possibility of false positives in a traffic jam.

The thing is that the conflict between manual tracing vs electronic exposure notification is a complete fantasy because the resources required to do one have zero overlap with the resources to do the other. Sure, automated exposure notification is wildly imprecise. But so is viral spread, it's a game of probabilities with or without the uncertainties of Bluetooth beacons. But beacon tracing scales where manual tracing doesn't. In a high incidence situation manual tracing will quickly run out of call center agents and in a low incidence situation social distancing and manual location logging (e.g. documentation of restaurant table allocation) will quickly erode to the point where a very, very large fraction of contacts cannot be manually reconstructed. And even in the moderate incidence band where manual tracing works best it has blind spots where beacon logging can fill in, not only anonymous exposures like public transit but also the entire field of "awkward" contacts that Doctorow spent an entire paragraph on. "And then there's this survival sex worker I occasionally meet, here's his number" surely isn't a line that comes up often in a manual tracing conversation.

But yeah, it must be fun to drum up negativity about exposure notification apps, it's a self-fulfilling prophecy when nobody is using them.

My experience with Apple's subscription/payment system in the app store is pretty awful, and I'd much rather buy from a vendor directly, like I do with Spotify/Netflix/Amazon.

As a software vendor being at the mercy of an unaccountable review process is a nightmare.
There is or used to be a start that addressed this market.

They had an ever expanding catalog of films they had processed to avoid any nudity or bad language. I think they cut those parts out entirety.

Here I found it.

They got sued out of existence apparently by the movies studios but was recreated and they now somehow do it with streaming content from Netflix or HBO.

I dont know how they do that but I figure they will be sued again.

I am not endorsing the company. I have never used it and never will but it is out there.

Yep. I didn't do it with a RasPi but with a Chinese chip I found off AliExpress

Managed to strip down OpenWRT so it would fit in the meager 16MB RAM/8MB flash. In the init script (a bash script) just checked if a wifi network was configured previously (creds stored in a file).

If configured, try to connect to the network for 10 seconds. If it couldn't connect, then switch to AP mode and start a lightHTTPd server listening on 192.168.0.1:80.

The only files it served was a simple index.html with some JS that called a bash script via CGI that used a openwrt bash library to scan and list the available wifi networks.

Then a HTML form to choose an SSID and enter the password, upon submit call another bash file to connect to the network (switch to client mode) with a timeout. If it fails, the bash would switch back to AP mode.

Polling in JS to check if the connection was successful (by checking if AP mode becomes active again)
This is happening in China right?

For that reason, the focus of my plugin is - for users that are OK with it - contributing URLs that are not NSFW but have been blocked. The extension includes a right-click menu option to do so.
