From what I was told you can't use a similar name on a similar product or company, but if it's different enough it's ok.

A friend had a few stores selling clothes with a name that was french for something I've forgotten.

Then a large chain started selling and heavily marketing a perfume with the same name. My friend wanted to stop them using the name, but after a few rounds of lawyers he got nowhere because selling clothes and selling a perfume are not overlapping businesses.

Also from what I've understood if you got a trademark, you have to defend it or else risk losing it. So while it often looks like a dick move, they're kinda forced.
I don't think this is accurate if Apple are purely objecting to posts that try and identify individuals, opening them up to violence.

I don't know if that is the case, but if it is then they aren't taking sides.
First, I do not think they are irrelevant, but it's probably subjective.

Second, them being irrelevant is certainly not a good reason to forbid those notices.

Third, that they are forbidden makes them all the more relevant.
The associated book ('The Elements of Computing Systems') was eye-opening for me. Not sure if 'today's computers' is quite right -- if I understand correctly, a lot of the simplicity has been optimised out of the hardware stack, to the point that even experts don't have a fully detailed understanding. Still really worthwhile to read and understand the basic principles, though.
Labor is just another commodity. Its pricing (pay) is govern by law of demand and supply. There is no minimum wage. If there is, market will adjust to adapt to it. This is why EU has predominantly high unemployment vs say China or other parts of the world that don't practice minimum wage. You can even observe this is happening in states that practice and don't. Good luck with Cali and NYC. You can see a lot of business exodus there. Market is adjusting. Focus on increasing demand for labor (more jobs), their wage will automatically go up. Retrain the workers to fit into another market, hence reducing the supply of their existing market, those that remain, wage will go up. Build the wall with strong border reducing illegals, wage will go up. Invoke forced minimum wage, market will readjust reducing demand and increasing unemployment to justify wage to go up. All the pro minimum wage studies are flawed. You just have to check how Singapore did it. No minimum wage there.
They should care about the precedent. This is really about freedom of the press.

A guy that’s universally disliked is the perfect subject for sliding the authoritarian ratchet.
Those rules are in place to protect people like Assange from prosecution. We need whistleblowers to protect from abuse. USA tries to be a world police, but in reality it can't even handle internal policing. American way, lock everyone up and no tolerance.
Also it's a company, not a single person, and companies change staff and leadership. Thinking that they're a person is a common fallacy. Almost as common as thinking of the state as one's eternal parent.
Emacs is actually why this is attractive to me. The latex input mode makes it easy to input a large set of Unicode that I care about, but my font not supporting them means that the fallback is used, which throws everything out of alignment, frequently messing up the line-height as well.

Piotr Wozniak is a fascinating guy, if you want to read more about him: https://web.archive.org/web/20150613033756/http://archive.wi...

Is someone using his software here?
He's certainly responded to a lot of reader critique on his blog: https://sleepdiplomat.wordpress.com/2019/12/19/why-we-sleep-...

Not sure if that covers all of it, and I'm not sure whether any of it is factually correct.
The irony of the whole situation is that in trying to prosecute Assange, the US government has lost more public trust from its own actions than it did because of Wikileaks.

Nobody trusts the government today. The whole thing is absolutely Kafkaesque and ridiculous.

Modern compilers are still pass-based with an optimisation-friendly IR even if you skip the actual optimisation passes. A single-pass compiler will be faster because it does not have the overhead of doing things in multiple passes.
Consider also that we get only two points of view on Oceania: Goldstein and Smith. Goldstein's analytic exposition seems to indicate a sound head on his shoulders, and to double check his claims[1], we may verify that nearly everything he writes is, with minor adjustments, applicable to our world as well as to his. Smith[2], on the other hand, shows signs of paranoid delusions[3] and narcissism[4] up through chapter 9 of the fast-forward. Is he an entirely reliable narrator from chapter 10 onward? Is he even awake[5]?

Part IV, Chapter 1: Winston could hear the birds through the open window. Julia already had the kettle on, bubbling quietly, and she spoke as she rummaged for the tea tin. "Sleepyhead, you shouldn't fall asleep while reading. Not only did I have to replace your book in the bookshelf this morning, but you woke me up twice, whimpering during the night. Did you have a bad dream, darling?" ...

[2] One of the drones from Sector 7G of MiniTru. They all went to Nottingham, York, etc., so they're certainly not given any important tasks which could be screwed up, but since they do have degrees they still must be given some kind of make work, and (as someone in the work assignment ministry had only skimmed Smith's dossier, putting it down immediately the tea lady came by, and so hadn't realised the effect the nature of this position might have on his innate shaky grip on reality) they are charged with correcting errors in automatically generated transcripts (given the awful state of their cigarette machines is it any wonder the translation machine is so off base so frequently?), which somehow Smith has managed to Mitty up into a fantasy of rewriting, in the grand manner, truth.

[3] Of course Syme isn't listed in the rota on the office bulletin board any longer. He hasn't been disappeared. He's been promoted and now works at MiniPlen, so his name now appears on their office rotas.

[4] What kind of adult male would run to a woman to whom he hasn't been introduced, whose notion of flirting and courtship reduces entirely to exploiting an (alleged) injury in making a drop, as if she were not a lover but a dealer? One would have to be both immature and pretty full of oneself to not run away from that one, double time.

[5] Goldstein does leave us with the question of "why should human equality be averted?" and so Freud might say that Smith's dreams correspond to his subconscious attempting to answer that question. In this case, Smith's id dreams up an insidious totalitarian grand conspiracy theory (paralleling Smith's waking fantasies about his job) in which the Inner Party (which he failed to join entirely due to his poor A-level marks) is motivated exactly like the bullying teenage (they are from the cream of society: both rich and thick) schoolboys of his author's own experience, as a swotter on scholarship at a second-rate boarding school. This motive really consists...
Espionage is often used like that. It's the charge North Korea, China and Iran use to imprison European or US-tourists and journalists.
Apples predate civilization, yet Apple does have the exclusive privilege of using the word Apple in relation to computers and almost anything that touches a computer. So that's not a great argument.

Google does not have a trademark on Droid, however. It doesn't actually matter though, because civil litigation is a war of attrition. They don't have to be right. They just have to have deeper pockets.

If you think this is bad or a recent thing, look up Microsoft v. Mike Rowe.
There is zero evidence for that, in spite of the US government putting a large team of investigators to work trying to find an example of just this.
Can't answer to 'Proven' on account of comment depth, but I am not concern trolling. I work as a ML engineer and many of our projects and datasets are sensitive. The company has signed contracts of confidentiality for this data and we are really concerned about where it sits and who gets access to it.

Another major concern is GDPR - can you reliably track and delete data related to a specific person? You got to think about this right from the start to keep the necessary metadata in the tagging pipeline.
You may not know this but the fire in a crowded theater case was about criminalizing opposition to the draft during WWI. Criminalizing speech always ends with the powers that be using it to stop people saying things inconvenient to them. One year it’s Obama prosecuting whistleblowers, the next it’s Trump. Any power the government has will be used and “abused” almost immediately.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shouting_fire_in_a_crowded_the...

> Holmes, writing for a unanimous Court, ruled that it was a violation of the Espionage Act of 1917 (amended by the Sedition Act of 1918), to distribute flyers opposing the draft during World War I. Holmes argued this abridgment of free speech was permissible because it presented a "clear and present danger" to the government's recruitment efforts for the war. Holmes wrote:

>> The most stringent protection of free speech would not protect a man falsely shouting fire in a theatre and causing a panic. [...] The question in every case is whether the words used are used in such circumstances and are of such a nature as to create a clear and present danger that they will bring about the substantive evils that Congress has a right to prevent.
Trademarks are about customer protection more than protecting the company. If another company starts selling "Android" phones that have a completely different OS, that ruins the Android brand but also makes it difficult for customers to trust that the product they're buying is legitimate unless the Android trademark is defended.
Spoken like a problematic ux-er ;-)

Visible but disabled items can be important for discoverability.

Knowing when and where to apply which ux rules is probably more important than knowing all the rules.

FTR: I'm happy to work with what I think are good ux-ers so they certainly do exist.
You weren't meant to have a boss (2008)
> you can't just be allowed to post bomb making plans on the internet or yelling fire in a crowded theatre

one is very different from the other. I agree yelling fire in a crowded place can't be allowed - causes people to panic, because it's not possible to 'unhear' a sound.

But posting bomb-making information (or really, any information) should be allowed. This information is voluntarily consumed, so it has no danger of causing harm without a person acting on said information (in which case, it's not the information but the person acting on it that is the problem). This applies to _any_ information, not just bomb making information.
To write highest performance assembly code you need to understand more than the instruction set. You need to understand about cache hierarchy and how cache lines are filled, about microcode and how to fill the pipeline, including how to exploit hyperthreads, what the consequence of different workloads is on boost speeds, how the vectorized instructions map to hardware and when the trade-off is worth it, etc... Not to mention that you really also need to be a GPGPU expert so you can trade off work to the graphics hardware when necessary.

One can write assembly while knowing only a fraction of that stuff, but the compiler will probably outperform that kind of assembly, so there is little point aside from the fun of it.
Visible but disabled items are only useful if they can be enabled in a more-or-less obvious way. Showing a disabled item that you can't enable in any way is bad UX. Am I wrong?

Espionage is a crime against the state. Just like treason or terrorism, the very definition of the crime and its interpretation is by the entity that claims to have been wronged.

Crimes against the state are widely abused by despots for silencing political dissidents.
I'm surprised with that move of AMD, there is nothing special in Xilinx except their 'super protected' compilers. Dunno why people think that there is some sophisticated magic inside FPGA chips.

GHz limits force companies to move more and more into parallel computing and FPGA might seem the right move, but it is only partially a right move because for computations we don't need to simulate gates, we need arithmetic operations thus rather something like Field Programming ALU Array (FPALUA)
Nope, your comment is poor because it’s off-topic, not critical. You saw the project and launched into a mild rant about “kids these days who use libraries for everything” when on-topic comments would be “I hope nobody actually uses this ;) Although in all seriousness based on my experience this kind of thinking is unironically already present in the software engineering community”. Your original comment fails to tie itself back to the project and it fails to demonstrate that you understood it was not meant for use in production. As such, it deserves as much disdain as a “Mozilla should fire its CEO” comment should get on a post about SpiderMonkey.
As someone who used to work in banking software I can tell you where the 1MB of crap comes from - many banks create their web apps out of ready to use components, which are designed to be completely independent and this brings a huge weight penalty.
Please stop worshipping this company. It's not a force for good.

They've kicked us out of open computing by locking down the only computer a lot of folks own (iPhone). And now look what kind of shit they can pull because they own the entire stack! This shouldn't be possible!

We really have to push against this and hope the DOJ forces all phone providers to allow "side-loading" (what a bizarre term!)

The iPhone is a computer, not some gaming console. It has to be free for freedom. You should be able to install straight off the web.

And before you downvote me, please look again how much Apple gives a damn about democracy in the world. And look what it's doing because of its power. Double plus ungood.

It's an American device. It should act like it!
You joke, but that’s what they do. Even with no rule change, the obligation to have IAPs has clearly ramped up in the last year or so, simply by getting reviewers go through each and every app-screen with a finer comb. What else will they ramp up in order to increase their profits? All developers in the appstore are effectively sharecroppers; when the landowner needs some money, he can squeeze them at will.
It's a nice font, looks good in intellij.

> political crime or political offence is an offence involving overt acts or omissions, which prejudice the interests of the state, its government, or the political system

> States will define as political crimes any behaviour perceived as a threat, real or imagined, to the state's survival, including both violent and non-violent oppositional crimes. A consequence of such criminalisation may be that a range of human rights, civil rights, and freedoms are curtailed, and conduct which would not normally be considered criminal per se (in other words, that is not antisocial according to those who engage in it) is criminalised at the convenience of the group holding power.

> At one extreme, crimes such as treason, sedition, and terrorism are political because they represent a direct challenge to the government in power. Espionage is usually considered a political crime. But offenders do not have to aim to overthrow the government or to depose its leaders to be acting in a way perceived as "political". A state may perceive it threatening if individuals advocate change to the established order, or argue the need for reform of long-established policies, or engage in acts signifying some degree of disloyalty, e.g. by burning the nation's flag in public.

> Because a political offender may be fighting against a tyrannical government, treaties have usually specified that a person cannot be extradited for a political offense.

This might be true is some echo chamber, but it doesn't seem like almost anybody cares. Is there some kind of survey that says otherwise? Unless you are a huge fan of Assange prior to all this I cannot think of anybody (person, media, or otherwise) that is even following this.
The best note-taking app for me would be like if I was paying a really smart person so that (i) I could tell them at any time of the day some info or thought I'd like to use later somehow, (ii) I could make queries of any format later about the data I entered.

The key thing is that I don't want to have to decide in advance how I want to use the information. I just want to store the information that I know it might be useful or important later.

(More concretely, I could see this being a single huge text file in which I can make natural language queries; each query generates a view of the file that corresponds to selected sentences in the file that match the query. For example, if I asked "what are the things I have to do for next month", then it would show me the sentences that correspond to things I have to do for next month. If I queried "exciting ML papers", then it would show me the sentences in which I link or talk about an ML paper, and I sounded excited about it.)

Pakistan bans TikTok over ‘immoral and indecent’ videos
[citation needed]

Whereas we don’t need a citation for the “lots of decent, innocent people” killed by trigger-happy US troops in Iraq and Afghanistan, thanks to Assange that’s a historical fact.
Prior to publishing Assange worked with established reporters and US officials to ensure WikiLeaks' documents would not contain information that could be used to harm individuals prior to publishing.

The unredacted leak was put out by an unrelated third party (Cryptome).

So even if the unredacted documents did cause harm Assange would have zero responsibility for those outcomes.
IIRC this is already the case.
I share the exact experience as you described. I guess it's what they call a networked thinking vs linear thinking.
ChromeOS uses Linux kernel, userspace has nothing to do with Linux.

Knowing that Apple is preventing you from accessing it gives you a way to enable it again: By pressuring Apple to stop doing these shitty things. Same thing with displaying Apples 30% app cuts, if it was clearly shown everywhere likely people would pressure Apple to reduce it which is why you aren't allowed to show it.

Edit: Reading the article again, there is actually a very simple fix to view these posts: Go over to your friend with an android and access them to there, and then remember to buy android in the future to avoid censorship like this. This is surely the main reason Apple doesn't let them show this note.
Can you be more specific about what he gets wrong? I don't have much of a preconception here, I've found him interesting/fun at times and been put off by his glibness at other times. But I'd like to know if there are specific knocks on his credibility.
