It very much matters if the terms changed, considering that the long shot legal precedent Epic is relying on is Kodak v. Image Technical Services. Terms changing in that case was a key element of why a single brand could be considered a valid antitrust market.
Sceptre 4K dumb TVs
I wonder what they intend to do (other than just blocking entire IP ranges of non-Indian hosting providers, which I would not be surprised by) when things increasingly move to TLS1.3 with ESNI.
> Though just to be clear: Rome was never considered a democracy.

I did intentionally avoid clarifying this (also, technically the US is a republic) because I was trying to paint in broad strokes — I don't think my point needed details to be convincing and so I didn't want to get bogged down in them. I'm happy for the clarification as a reply, though :) A better phrase, which I would have used if I'd thought of it at the time, would be "representative government".
Have you ever bought sex from a child?
Wondering especially if you're from any western countries
What reason could they have for blocking DDG? Is it easier to find pirated content there than on Google or something? That's my best guess. I can't imagine they'd block on behalf of a competitor or something.
They sell hardware that interfaces with their app. They might also might have premium features for plugins or virtual instruments.
I hear this "third way" approach suggested a lot, and as someone who's just starting to dip their toes into it, I think that there's some merit to it. I do worry about how to overcome the principal agency issue and a potential mutual lack of trust that comes from being set up as a consultant rather than an employee.

But on the other hand, wouldn't that be an issue anyways whether FTE or a consultant? May as well figure out earlier.

Sorry, just thinking out loud here. Honestly, consulting really does seem to be the worst of all worlds, at least for a while, even if you do eventually want FTE. You get to actually test whether you get along with a firm without committing full time. And they have to give you a compelling reason to join for you to do so. If you have the skillset that is useful enough for them to need to hire you in the first place, you also have already means-tested that you are adding value. Maybe it really is the best way to start.
Live internet jamming will never ever be possible. The tiniest bit of asycnhrony opens up a ton of potential, though.
(I'm going to respond to your original comment, which I quote below.)

"Thanks the reason I was asking was that in that document I don't see data about which state voted for Clinton or Trump. But I can see that of the states which paid the least most seem to be "Red States". No?
West Virginia Kentucky New Mexico Arkansas Idaho South Carolina Alabama Utah North Carolina Tennessee Georgia Maine Arizona Indiana Louisiana Ohio Oklahoma Missouri "

You are looking at the wrong list. The one on page 6 only shows per capita taxes paid to the federal government by residents of the states. The one on page 9 shows how much per capita the federal government transfers to states and to individual citizens. The one on page 5 combines the two.

Of the ten states at the top of the page 5 list—the ones that get the most back (after subtracting taxes paid) from the federal government—five voted for Trump (MS, AL, WV, KY, SC) and five vote for Hillary (NM, VA, ME, HI, MD).
There are huge communities of awesome hackers who support build and support operating systems and firmware for phones and routers. Does anything like that exist for so-called "smart" TVs?
So far what Apple and other companies did is to keep the biometric auth tied to the device and not let leak out. Now Amazon is saying leaking it is the feature. They are using the hand as the identifier, so the biometric id is what is used to identify a person, not an email address, not a random number or a handle. The biometric data that cannot be changed ever is the identifier.

It's very troubling.

- The privacy and security implications are huge.

- Its tied to commerce, not some airport entry thing. Commerce has legs.

- On top of that its scary because Amazon can push this all over the world and give their tech for free to businesses.

- Other companies will provide this "feature" too.

The one door I was hoping will never be opened is opened now.
Tried just once (the whole setup is rather new). I tried the first part of Hellblade running on my PC, which is in the same room, at 1440p & High settings. I played for about half an hour, with no noticeable glitches or lag. Both the PC and the Shield are connected using cables (each to a different switch, both switches go directly to the router).

I hope I have time to try it more before the weekend, but the results are promising.

Oh, I thought it was obvious since we're talking about a Shield Pro but now I think it's worth mentioning that my PC has a Nvidia card (an RTX2060), so I'm using nvidia's native streaming support. It's also worth noting that an OSS client exists (Moonlight), so the Shield could be replaced by, say, a Raspberry Pi 4
Microsoft Teams (The chat/collaboration service) and team foundation server (The source code repository and DevOps platform) are two completely different products that happen to both have the same word in their name. Although I can understand the trauma ;-)
We can kill advertising.

It may not work for the smart tv case, but I imagine a device or filter program that I can plug in that detects ads with a neutral network. It wouldn't turn off the ads, but instead transform them into unpleasant imagery that creates incredibly negative brand images. It would be designed to permanently subconsciously tarnish a brand.

McDonald's human trafficking

Nike genocide

Spouse-beating Walmart

Coca-cola rotten corpse

I want to deploy this widely to destroy advertising. If ads got detected and replaced with images designed to embed and evoke negative reactions, advertisers would stop.

We need something this drastic to fight back.
Just don't connect it to the internet.

Also great solution for cheap subsidized TVs where they are banking on your connecting to your network so only charge $100.

Plug in an apple TV and you are set.
Well, they could block TLS1.3 entirely (which would force hosts to drop down to 1.2 for connections)

GFC does this, I really hope it doesn't happen here
Not particularly impressed by this judge. Her biggest arguments boil down to every 6 year olds favorite "Well other people do it too!". That doesn't justify the practice so much as illustrate how pervasive the practice has been allowed to become.

> She also reiterated that Epic Games made a "calculated decision" to defy Apple's App Store rules, and the court doesn't provide injunctions for contractual disputes. Epic was "not forthright," she said. "There are people in the public who consider you guys heroes for what you did, but it's not honest.

I also fail to see how that is relevant. She comes off as overly interested in Apple succeeding here.
This sort of thinking that “universities are only a function to get jobs” is the sort of thinking that can allow other countries to supersede the technological and scientific advancements of that particular country, because so little emphasis is put in higher learning and research. This dismissal of higher education and research is a bit troubling.

Sure, this country with that thinking might be able to attract the best talent from other countries to innovate and do research, but politically it might not be wise to always count on it.

When a populous has the mindset of dismissing universities and education to just get a job, then don’t be surprised when they fail to keep up with the latest advances in AI and science.
My cousin works for the government and talks about how overtime is very easy to abuse if you want to. In his case, he manages water works, which involves testing water regularly and inspecting equipment.

At any point during the weekend or holidays, he can just decide to go in to do an inspection and run up some overtime hours. As well, they have an alert system that notifies him by phone if some of the machines are acting up. He can change the sensitivity of the system so that it alerts him for minor things, requiring him to come in and get overtime. On paper, this all looks legit - it’s just a guy who cares about his job and wants to keep everything running smoothly - but he quietly admits to the family that the work is never needed and he’s just doing it for the overtime.

I can definitely see how a janitor could abuse overtime, there’s always something you could argue “needed” to be done.
I hope you get the help that you need.
I think it’s a bad road to go down to have different legal precinct based on an opinion about how certain devices tend to be used and the subjective importance of them.

Also, I can’t help but notice the circular logic—a game console isn’t general purpose because it’s locked down so as not to be general purpose.
(Translation: thanks)
I recognize the ease of use. I don’t have to carry a device with me. But looking a little farther in the future, will I loose the ability to not be able to authenticate anymore?
Where is this illegal?
Your example seems particularly weird to me since Spotify's business is having extremely broad hardware support. They set up shop on everyone's platform. I'm sure desktop/laptop listening is a sizable chunk of their use but it's probably dwarfed by all the cars, phones, smart speakers, TVs.
Yeah it's all anecdotal. I haven't conducted a study across the industry or anything. Just my experience and observations/thoughts.
The G Suite admin will have a way to reset the password, initiate a password reset through Gsuite, sometimes they will ask for the last password you remember, I would try his most common one he used on other things, I think it will still send the password reset but I would try a common one anyway. There should be a password reset email sent that you can click on and reset the GS admin password.

https://support.google.com/a/answer/33561

Does the domain DNS happen to be setup on cloudflare, if you can gain access to that and the DNS, looks like Gsuite has a cname password reset/recovery option.
Etcd does some of this stuff, but in general it sounds like you have a useful opensource tool inside you that wants to be shared with the world. I can't wait to see it made.
Were those dining hall scanners using a palm-on-glass technology, or mid-air like what Amazon is showing?
What would you use more ram for?

Unless you do heavy processing over 8 seems like over kill.

While the XBox also supports physical media, there are some digital-only titles that can only be loaded via the Xbox Games Store.
Haha, touché. They are going to have to tighten up next year though.
While it is an interesting question, what does it matter? When did standard oil become a monopoly? Is there some specific date where they changed from competitive to anti-competitive? More likely they grew over time and the ability for competition to exist was diminished over the entire period.
This is terrible advice. Exposing any public endpoint that talks XML is a security disaster in waiting and the fact that the author makes no mention of a long history of major security vulnerabilities in popular XML packages does no credit to him.

The "composable" without "confusion about semantics" is a joke, too: in practice it's not even possible to know what whitespace means. Is it semantically meaningful or just there for pretty printing? Also, say you see a commented out region in an XML file. How do you uncomment it? If XML where less braindamaged both problems would be trivial and purely mechanical. In practice you'll generally have to guess.

All in all XML is an extremely mediocre design: it is substantially worse than prior art in countless respects and tremendously complicated without achieving much of anything.
Live internet jamming is just not possible. It never will be, unless we advance beyond our current understanding of physics.
I see the main problem of XML in it's model not matching the data model you usually work with. In code you work with arrays or structs/objects that have members. Members can be other structs or arrays or primitive types. Arrays can be composed of structs, arrays or primitive types (sometimes heterogenous, but not very often).

This does not map to DOM at all, in any direction. In XML DOM you have structured nodes intermixed with text, order of nodes is significant (or may not be) and you have attributes. On top you have namespaces.

Indeed, you can restrict to subset of XML and find a mapping that works, guaranteed you will get a very verbose XML that is hard to work with.
As mentioned at the end of the original article, you can disable the apple TV recommendations.
I’ll add: the default behavior should be the right thing for most users, assuming it won’t be disastrous for a significant minority of other users.

The right thing for most users is to have an encrypted backup of the keychain that’s part of the rest of the computer backup. In fact, for most users, it could easily be disastrous not to.

Also, migrations to new devices are a fact of life. It should be possible to migrate to a new device and bring your keychain along.
An overlay that covers the whole area opening an add onClick. After some time the overlay is added again (incredibly annoying for video players you might want to pause)
In the US, <15% admin expense is considered good for a charity, and in the US admin expense also include rent, business services (accounting, legal, IT), and leadership costs (for a small org, the leader might be categorized as management but actually be providing services).
It would be more correct to say that today, decisions are being based on increasing short term gain. I think that's the issue more so than transitioning decision making to be based on logic and data and also supports your conclusion about the economy better.
It's not sedimentary areas, I believe, the press release states these are lakes or regions of water (depth not stated). Numerous dissenting viewpoints were brought up about how it may not actually be liquid water, maybe it's slush or some intermediate form of water in these underground deposits.

This interview process selects for someone with whom the interviewer might enjoy having meetings.

I’d imagine it’s very hard to distinguish between a good talker and a good worker. Maybe some people can do it, but this is not a skill set I’d expect everyone conducting interviews to possess.

The data shows that humans are terrible at every kind of interview assessment. This is why I appreciate an approach with mechanized layers such as “ask problem with known answer, take notes”
Does anyone know if there are authz features planned for ipfs? Like having acls based on certificates or something...
Epics actions may have been dishonest, but what rebellion is?

Regardless, Epics actions don't remove the case that Apple has a monopoly and uses anti-competitive practices to benefit itself at the cost of the consumer and creator.
Maybe not an economical choice but you can buy digital signage displays. They are typically more expensive but are built for maximum durability and don't include consumer features like streaming.
Was it NVMe though? The standard is only 9 years old, so that's an impressive lifespan for one of the first drives.
Or teaching that math is racist...

If you want to learn humanities, you can pretty much read any book anytime in your life (in fact most of the teaching in humanities is just assigning books to read). I would say that there the value added of a college over an online reading list is marginal. For STEM, completely different story, it is very hard for someone who hasn’t been trained formally to pick it up later in one’s career.
But, do people actually know that when they purchase? If it were clearly stated anywhere on the box/sales copy that "you will see ads on this device" while the other one says "we won't shove ads on your device" I would wager the $10 more would be a bargain to nearly everyone.

But that information is never available at the point of purchase so most people get the surprise of see ads when they had no idea that was even a thing.
I have found a Dropbox to be more reliable at file sync than OneDrive, especially if you have many, many small files. Then again, the pricing is so far off between the two that I can’t justify Dropbox anymore and just put up with the horrible OneDrive performance. Does anyone have any better alternatives?

Luckily Microsoft still sells offline licenses for Office 2019. There are several features missing that are exclusively tied to the Office 365 subscription, but overall it’s still the same Office productivity suite you would expect. Here’s to hoping they keep doing that in the future and don’t pull an Adobe…

> Actual REST is least useful for communication between a single frontend and backend controlled by the same party.

I know I'm going off-topic but what is best way to communicate between frontend and backend except for REST? I know about GraphQL even though that is not widely adopted yet and in a lot of cases never will be.
Links stopped mattering after Google killed blogs.

Now there is no mass of people verifying the quality of random sites, and search engines lost they anchor.
“ One reason was that palm recognition is considered more private than some biometric alternatives because you can’t determine a person’s identity by looking at an image of their palm.”

Wow. Never thought of that. But is it easy to reconstruct veins?
There is always a reason.

My corner grocery (run by a family that lives a couple blocks away) did the same thing - they dropped the soy milk brand I like. I asked about it, and they brought it back.

I think they do cost more on average than HugeCo (if you use the HugeCo surveillance/loyalty card), which also theoretically has a larger selection, etc.

But for some weird reason the store that sells me what I want gets my business.
SEGA lost the chance to dominate the home console market by the simple fact that Megadrive did not have sprite scaling and rotation.

This fact meant subpar coinop conversions for SEGA'a flagship games like Outrun and Powerdrift.

Not that the Megadrive didn't do well. It did, but it could have dominated the console market if it could do a decent version of those pseudo-3d games.
What are you talking about? The iphone appstore haven't had uniform hardware since 2008 when the second generation iphone was released.
Will Cloudflare customers on the free tier get non-JS Web Traffic Analytics? The blog post only mentions Pro+ tier accounts and non-Cloudflare customers.
It appears that this has already become the norm.
It's sometimes interesting to look at the history of walled gardens and how they came to be. Nintendo's console model, for example, was a direct reaction to previous failed no-walled-gardens models where consumer confidence that they weren't burning money buying a lemon console that only supported crappy games cracked.
Do you plan to release it in f-droid? App works silky smooth.
Epic asserts they’re a Monopoly but that’s a contentious assertion so the easy answer is they aren’t.
There's no ambiguity at all. Attributes are what fields are to a record; basically everything goes into attributes. Child elements are other records and are used when either there's more than one or their order is important or they also appear as children of other elements. Text is only used when there is actual content for humans that XML delineates; when XML is used as "application/xml" :) data there should be no text (unless parts of your data are such text).
The jet is pushing you up... so it’s more like a dip rather than hanging off a bar. And a lot of core for stability.
My locksmith friend has a private policy where immediate personal friends get free lock work in exchange for personal favors at a later date. E.g. he helped me with a broken car lock, then later I did some data recovery for one of his family members pro bono.

Interesting point.

That being said, the only uses I've seen consoles used for are gaming and media consumption. I know there's web browsers on there, but I don't think I've ever actually seen one used.

As for media creation, I don't know. There's certainly an argument to be made for it, but I don't know where playing a game stops and making a game begins.
Oh, must have been my time spent in Germany. As Wikipedia disambiguation page says:

I like more the Lychrel problem (196). I think it is somehow connected to halting problem, and is not provable.
Thanks for sharing some thrilling insight! From what I have gathered my own conclusion was pretty inline with what you say. That the real power is behind the scenes at the database level and customizations of datasets. When I first saw the UI (pretty recently) I was underwhelmed. I'm curious if you can elaborate some more if you think that the UI can be changed/improved without changing the fundamentals or is it tightly coupled?

It seems to me that they have one product per customer. I'm curious how scalable it is I guess.

Aside. I became very interested in Palantir. Much because I liked Alex Karps philosophy in that this technology is ineveteble, controversal or not, and that it's up to regulators to scope the use of it. If not Palantir some other company down the line will do the same (if not already) and personally I'd go with team Karp.
Imagine a zero emissions electrical vehicle with no batteries at all, much more easily automatable than cars, infinitely safer and can be used for medium and long distances. Looks like a Tesla pipe dream, right? Now imagine a complete transportation grid using these and add public individual vehicles for last mile transportation.

Trains are the rational future, they were before, but irrational market forces are against them.
