> If you invent something, say, a new battery, and somebody else copies it,

You should distinguish the concepts of copyright and patent. A hardware design, like a battery, is not copyrightable in general. The technical drawings or a written description can be copyrighted, but the abstract technology and process cannot. Under copyright laws, it's illegal for me to duplicate your documents, but there is nothing to stop me from reverse-engineering or duplicating the same process or hardware [0], and I'm also allowed to write about this technology in my own words. Only patent laws can grant a period of exclusive control of an abstract technology to its inventors.

[0] If I obtained your documents illegally, it would be trade secret infringement, which is an independent issue from copyright nor patent.

No, it's not. Waymo has been doing amazing work, but the problem is that they PR department is a little bit too good at it's job.

Waymo has these kinds of announcements very couple of months (sometimes more often) and if you don't pay close attention all of them sound like Waymo finally had a breakthrough. But if you look closer each of them is only small incremental progress from their last announcement. In this case, Waymo was already doing driverless rides and they also didn't open them up to everyone. So even though I think that Waymo is making great progress towards a self-driving future, I understand that people get Waymo announcement fatigue.

With conditions as you've described I would still happily bet $100 that no later than 9:00am EST Oct 9 2026, a Tesla available to ordinary consumers will be able to perform the task with no driver intervention.
> We also operate a store on the Xbox console. It’s reasonable to ask why we are not also applying these principles to that Xbox store today. Game consoles are specialized devices optimized for a particular use. Though well-loved by their fans, they are vastly outnumbered in the marketplace by PCs and phones. And the business model for game consoles is very different to the ecosystem around PCs or phones. Console makers such as Microsoft invest significantly in developing dedicated console hardware but sell them below cost or at very low margins to create a market that game developers and publishers can benefit from. Given these fundamental differences in the significance of the platform and the business model, we have more work to do to establish the right set of principles for game consoles.
I stopped to count how many blog posts "bye-bye Apple, welcome OpenBSD or GNU/Linux" I saw the last years... to come back to macOS a few months / years after for different reasons (especially hardware compatibility to be honest).

The OS is a tool.

Thanks for reporting. There were some problems on the backend but this has now all been solved.
I'm in the market for a VR headset and Oculus tech seems to be the best right now but because of this I'll be waiting for whatever upgrades other companies release next year.
Interestingly enough, if you read most kkk or nazi pamphlets, they also don’t refer to themselves as hate groups, murderers etc.
A non-profit org I'm involved with expanded their facility and I got to plan and install a bunch of stuff before they closed up the walls.

* Rack in a specially built wall recess.

* PoE switch.

* Cat 6 everywhere for network and IP phones.

* Empty conduit for future expansion.

* PoE mesh APs.

* Ethernet for internal and external IP cameras.

* HDMI from podium to TV and projector locations.

* Giant powered projection screen.

* Raspberry Pi powered dashboard displays throughout.

That was something I don't get to do every day and a lot of fun.

The original poster asked me what the downside were, and I just told you.

It is a very real downside, to me, and many other highly paid software engineers, that forcing us into collective bargaining agreements would result in us making significantly less money.

So thats the downside. It is very clear, and obvious. We would make less money.

So, given that we would make significantly less money, you can expect us to fight and sabotage efforts to force us into collective bargain agreements.

Good luck, you'll need it. Because right now, the anti-union side, in tech, is winning, and unions are not popular at all.

> Elements of the Intelligence Community are not authorized to use such techniques ... unless ...

Perhaps "such techniques" were "... in accordance with procedures established by the head of the Intelligence Community element concerned or the head of a department containing such element and approved by the Attorney General, after consultation with the Director"?

I would not be surprised -- at all -- to learn that AG Barr (after consulting with DIRFBI Wray) approved "such techniques".
That is not correct. There were some issues on the backend but these have now been solved.
I am not reading into it, I said from the beginning the statement in the email is ambiguous.

The word “exigency” isn’t explicitly there in the email. It is referenced by the author as being present in a separate email (which for some reason they didn’t include...?) and then qualified via a source as being facetious.

Even if it was there and taken literally, I fail to see anywhere in law, case law, the email, and/or the article that suggests “exigency” is sufficient justification for violating an individual’s 4th Amendment rights. To the best of my knowledge, that does not exist.
Extra points if you can find a via that kynar can fit into, a test point, or something exposed with lots of masking around.

What if these groups don’t overlap?

I.e. the “people who are able to exit” group may not overlap the 5% that would have resigned because they were already searching for something.

The GP’s (codezero) point above still seems valid to me because of that.
Couldn't much of this be scaled back if we removed some of the layers and intermediaries?

If we had a single state-run bank (even if it were just as the fulfillment "back end" behind different consumer-facing servicing organizations), then a transfer would occur on a single ledger in a matter of milliseconds, rather than waiting for the East Podunk Bank, Trust, and Pork Cannery to pull a batched update file over a T-1 they put in in the first Bush administration.

Fraud could be handled better than it is now. We have terrible security/convenience compromises (Chip + Signature, anyone?) and when we try to improve matters (3-D Secure) it is presented so badly and clumsily that it basically dies on arrival (it's coming back, but mostly because the EU is cramming it down people's throats)

Chargebacks are a weird case. It feels like they come from two places-- either as the first response to a fraudulent transaction, or as an escalation for when there's no other way to get satisfaction. If you're fair with your refund policy, your chargeback rate should be close to nil.
At least Xilinx will be able to fall back to AMD’s amd64 or x86 architecture if NVIDIA will limit ARM core licensing. The new SoC products like ZynQ Ultrascale+ with ARM cores are really great.

I don’t think it’s Digital Foundry they’re scared of, but your point still stands.
I don’t know. Google drive at work is ok I guess. I just canceled Dropbox this year after a decade. I’d think hard about if you really need this type of program for your workflow and maybe pay for an online backup service instead if you don’t already. I found I didn’t really need a replacement.
Did you actually read the article you cited? It's pretty obvious that the authors (among others) feel that the 1,500 BTC/day loss rate claimed by this one fringe analyst is a massive exaggeration based loosely on outdated statistics. Sure, lots of bitcoins were lost in the beginning, when they weren't worth much. Most of the reports are from people who had bitcoins early on and only recently realized that they should have kept better care of them. The wallet UIs and best practices have been steadily improving, and with prices where they are right now there is no good reason for anyone to "lose" their bitcoins any more than they would accidentally "lose" a $100 bill (which is similarly irreversible).

Any artificially-induced inflation of the money supply is economically destructive, promoting malinvestment and waste. Some inflation in the beginning is inevitable, of course—you have to start from somewhere—but it's a very good thing that Bitcoin will have an supply inflation rate on par with, or lower than, most national currencies before it becomes prevalent enough to significantly influence pricing in the investment markets.

Inflation does have an important role in the economy. When it happens naturally it tells investors that we are in desperate need of more capital investment, and it basically doesn't matter what kind of ROI can be expected as long as it's at least somewhat positive. The issue is that this same investment behavior readily leads to diverting resources from more productive investments to less productive ones when the economy should be deflationary (indicating a positive average expected ROI) but the money supply is manipulated to make it look like there is a shortage of capital.
Hi, 20 to 25 percent compared to current gen ryzens?
We should bring back crown molding and big chunky baseboards. There’s a lot of cool wiring tricks you can do if you have an inch at the top of the wall and a couple at the base, without necessarily removing the drywall to do it.

Was a company years ago that did hollow molding and triangular mounting brackets that gave a bunch of space to run wiring. I wonder if they’re still around.
That's how the Wii got pwned. They were comparing binary SHA-1 hashes in RSA signatures with strncmp.

They also weren't checking padding, so you didn't have to use a real signature with a 00 byte in a convenient place (though I did find one), but rather could just use an all-00 signature, because performing the RSA computation on zero yields zero.
Flutter+Dart is a bad choice for this because both projects are managed & funded by Google.

Wasn't there another angle with the Intel/Altera tie-up - to more closely integrate the x86 architecture with top-end FPGA tech, and to relegate ARM to embedded SOC (not kill it, but equally not pour R&D budget into it) ?

> Google copied them so they would get access to the large developer community and ride the coattails of the successful investments into the Java platform that Oracle made.

I like this framing and think it’s entirely correct, but I don’t agree that it necessarily dooms the interoperability argument.

Google wasn’t trying to achieve compatibility with existing code (for which, you’re right, they’d have needed to take the whole set) but rather compatibility with existing developers. Arguably, that is still interoperability.
Please, please, please stop saying that it is comparable to the flu in any way!

I got a mild case of COVID-19, even the doctors in the hospital agreed on that; I was able to help other patients do stuff they couldn't, I could easily climb 2 floor worth of stair while 90% of the patients had to make frequent resting stops.

37 days after first symptoms, I'm still not back to my previous energy levels, I still cough, I got tinnitus in my right ear and pain when ejaculating.

None of this has ever happened with any flu or cold that I ever got.
They split the amperage across multiple wires. I think PoE is always DC so the runs can’t be as long as with AC.

Actually why can’t you run PoE as AC? Embedding a high frequency signal on a lower frequency carrier is older than dirt at this point.

At 120 volts, 30 watts is only a quarter amp.
I’m aware of them by name but haven’t given much time to reading into them. I gave most of that a read. It sounds like they’ve had members with ties to white supremacy, but the group isn’t overtly white supremacist (though, they’re labeled that quite a bit). The McInnes guy who started it seemed to shy away from that stuff as did the current guy? Are there specific hate crimes they’ve committed? It sounds like most of the violence they’re involved in is focused on fist fights with Antifa types and drunken bar fights.
You are the one with the strawman. The company never claimed to be apolitical. In fact they explicitly state they are.
> This could work if AMD invested a ton in software like Intel has with OneAPI.

Not my area of expertise, but I get the same feeling regarding their GPUs. Everything is built using CUDA, so AMD is out for ML/AI, etc.

Not. A. God. Damn. Thing.

"... the Constitution, other Executive Orders, federal statutes, case law, etc. ... which wuld have to be considered" (as mentioned in a sibling comment) wouldn't pose even the smallest obstacle if they all "wanted to make this happen".

There were so many things that we all thought they simply COULD NOT DO -- until Snowden came along and showed us that they were, in fact, doing every single one of them for years -- not to mention all of the other things that we had never even considered!
Pros of Working at a Successul Startup?
I have been working in startups for 15 years with many amazing teams. Until now, none have been successful.

I have had a few outside opportunities for promotion come my way, and I am trying to weight my options, but I am not sure what the pros are of working in a successful startup. What are other people's experiences?

Background:

I am at a company that has a product in a regulated space, and a 3 year head start before any true competition catches up. The company could realistically make 100m in revenue per year in that time, and I assume it will be a well known and well respected player in the field.

Unfortunately, the engineering team is small, with no hiring, and has even lost a couple people that won't be replaced; growth is all in sales. I am a "senior" engineer running just under half of the technical people (<5 reports), doing the system architecture, and there is little chance of a promotion in the foreseeable future. I am learning about other sides of the business, but not about software or managing more people. My position is very secure and I'm happy day to day. (Financially, I don't have many options, most likely in the 0.1% to 0.25% after Series A)

Alternatively, a few opportunities have come my way for "director" level positions. They are with unknown companies, great teams with great potential, although I find success is never guaranteed.

So I try to weigh my options, but don't know what the benefits from working at a a successful startup other than advancement and money. What are some of the benefits others have seen?
> It was only when I realized that one of my clients had his own editing website that everything changed. Turns out, this guy would offer to edit someone’s novel for, say, $2,000. He would then pay me $500 to edit it, then send my work back to their client and pocket the leftover $1,500 for himself. All he had to do was secure the sale and wait for me to finish up the work.

So this guy was selling his reputation for $2,000. If the author would have provided a bad service and the guy would send it to the client without proofreading then that guy would no longer be able to charge $2,000.
Given that we have absolutely no idea what other biological systems could look like, what you're saying seems extremely likely, but not an absolute certainty.
Unlikely. We were hit by a series of similar string builtin related bugs in the tree optimizer since gcc 9.0. And the bugfest is still ongoing. The most likely explanation is an incompetent developer touching these areas.
This argument is always brought up. But it's insincere, because you're just arguing that the nazies are bad, not that IBM was bad for helping the nazies.

Because if you were, you should also argue that during WW2, any companies that helped the Allies should also befall the same criticism (that of being politically aligned rather than be neutral).
Yeah but what did Oracle copy here? They made the language compatible, but did they copy the API too? Cleanrooms have been a thing for a long time.
Ah, not to worry. Modern agile is just waterfall, but with shorter timelines to maximize overhead costs and minimize productivity. It makes sense when you realize that we pay employees for days to elapse.
Interestingly, I tended to prefer Authorize.net to other alternatives. But a lot of that is likely a 'moment in time" thing when I got into development.

There were a few years where Authnet was the "default" gateway. Other gateways offered compatibility modes for their SIM and AIM APIs, and if you had some random off-the-shelf cart, it probably spoke AIM out of the box.

Part of the difference in experience is also likely due to their model. The Authnet model was very much "take direct card data and relay it to your server and then to us", and the Stripe model is very much "JavaScript up your checkout process to do tokenization, so you never see the card number." If you're at a point in time when JavaScript is a bit sketchy (the IE6-is-the-dominant-browser era), you might be more willing to go for a worse PCI compliance scope in exchange for the comparative bulletproofness of doing things server-side.

Now I work for a firm competing with both of them, so I can hardly express a preference today. :)
With a 125W TDP, you're paying in other ways.

A 2018 Celeron J4105I is a 10W part that's only fractionally slower than a 965BE but costs $6 a year to run instead of $60.

They're effective as an Oracle-like consulting company that buys third-party products, integrates them into their platform, and then cross-sells them hard.
Hmm. At first I disagreed with you, but when I think about it over time, I think I'm forced to agree.

Their newer MacBooks are going to be ARM based, which, I think, is mostly so that they have more people to develop apps for their phones and iPads. The rest of their customers will be buying them simply for day-to-day stuff wrapped in a pretty package.

I'm trying to think of a major Android phone manufacturer that does the same as Apple, but am coming up blank. Samsung, Sony, Oppo, etc, are all companies that have a multitude of products.

Maybe the only other comparison would be Google, but they were primarily a software company that is now making Pixel devices.So, not quite the same thing.
Are you going to keep trying?
Good. People experiencing the social consequences of expressing bigoted views, and being a little more afraid as a result, is how the world moves forward. A term sometimes used for it is the "democratization of discomfort".

The First Amendment cuts both ways.
I'm going off memory but you can run ~2amps over 22g. But voltage drop starts being a problem at low voltage. I think Ethernet cables are 24-26g.
Labor is required by nature, not by capitalism.

I quote Frédéric Bastiat:

Man recoils from trouble, from suffering; and yet he is condemned by nature to the suffering of privation, if he does not take the trouble to work. He has to choose, then, between these two evils. What means can he adopt to avoid both? There remains now, and there will remain, only one way, which is, to enjoy the labor of others. Such a course of conduct prevents the trouble and the satisfaction from preserving their natural proportion, and causes all the trouble to become the lot of one set of persons, and all the satisfaction that of another. This is the origin of slavery and of plunder, whatever its form may be - whether that of wars, imposition, violence, restrictions, frauds, etc. - monstrous abuses, but consistent with the thought which has given them birth. Oppressors should be detested and resisted - they can hardly be called absurd.

Slavery is disappearing, thank heaven! and, on the other hand, our disposition to defend our property prevents direct and open plunder from being easy.
One thing, however, remains - it is the original inclination which exists in all men to divide the lot of life into two parts, throwing the trouble upon others, and keeping the satisfaction for themselves. It remains to be shown under what new form this sad tendency is manifesting itself.

The oppressor no longer acts directly and with his own powers upon his victim. No, our conscience has become too sensitive for that. The tyrant and his victim are still present, but there is an intermediate person between them, which is the State - that is, the Law itself.
Not only is that not factually incorrect, it's pretty trivial to check before you comment. Why didn't you?
>Has Altera done that well for Intel's bottom line? I haven't been watching that closely.

Altera is doing about the same before Intel's acquisition. Or may be losing to Xilinx a little ( within margin of error )

But one thing for certain is that it hasn't grow. ( At least on paper )

So it depends how you define well. Considering the performance of Intel's past acquisition ( Look at Infineon ) and the total failure of Intel Custom Foundry I think it is doing quite well.
Ha, yes I would say things have changed to put it lightly.

The reason the CEO made this policy is because many people felt they were being pressured to be political at work which is the new norm .

> Employment and stock-options are not "fractions of board seats".

i agree that employment is not "fractions of board seats. But stock options (when converted to stock) holds voting power, and thus _do_ represent "factions of board seats". Very little amount, but an amount nonetheless.
