How do you manage trustworthiness? This is an issue I've been thinking about for quite some time and haven't found a satisfactory solution to.

I like this idea and a lot of
similar information sharing sites but I find in today's environment, anything successful will be targeted by misinformation and gamed which makes it difficult to determine if the information was provided in an uninfluenfed manner from the product creator/retailer/etc. who have obvious conflicted goals.

The best efforts seem to be information sites that are successful enough to gather enough data to represent something accurately from a user base but not so successful it becomes a target for corporate advertising and marketing groups. Reddit communities still provides some of this but have become a target for advertising as well and also are more difficult to extract useful information from.

Amazon has "verified purchase" which is still gamed using other techniques. I've found the best model is still Consumer Reports for fair product assessments but they only speculate on durability since it would be incredibly difficult for their product assessment model (new products rolling out frequently, modified/re-released/etc and limited staff/personal time to keep up with).
I think it's because most consoles up till now had an optical media drive, so hanging it flat against a wall, or behind the TV would make insertion of the disk difficult.
If Oracle ultimately wins, it seems like millions of programmers will have to reach for a thesaurus to find synonyms to name functions. We'll have to waste brain cycles coming up and alternative spellings of methods to stay away from copyright infringement.

Or the companies that the developers work for pay the original creator of the API, which is the solution Oracle are angling for.
It's bad for programmers everywhere. If Oracle wins, you couldn't reimplement a compatible version of anything that's not open source. You couldn't make a third-party implementation of a corporate-owned programming language without putting yourself at risk.

Imagine you're a company using some Oracle database, and you want to reimplement some component of that system in order to migrate and escape their vendor lock-in... You can't, not without taking a huge legal risk.

In the short term, it's a victory for huge litigious corporations like Oracle. The good thing, I hope, is that in the long term, this will make people distrust closed source software even more. What Oracle wants, and has always wanted, is to bind you in the worst possible form of vendor lock-in. Open source and open standards are the answer. Refuse anything else.

I don’t use social media, and stick to purpose focused socializing; play music, technical work, etc.

> Requires physical device access.

For what it's worth, we're talking about mostly personal laptops, tablets, and smartphones here - not corporate servers. I wouldn't be so quick to dismiss the "physical access" requirement, although that does at least make it difficult for attackers to exploit the vulnerability at a large scale.

Yeah, the main hardware / motherboard looks like it's basically a laptop PCB, it's everything around it that takes up the space.

I'm confident we'll see a revision in a few years that takes off at least a third of the size, probably more. This will mainly depend on whether the chips used become more thermally efficient though.
Maybe just a trust system, with the ability to update reviews in future would be a good start.

> To the 18 year old David who sat in that lonely computer lab: you fucking did it, dude. You lived that dream. To 37 year old David: Go do it again.

I really enjoyed that part. I forget sometimes that my career - what I woke up to do this morning, the reason I'm in this office right now - this was my dream.

I should remember that more often. This dream started almost 20 years ago (I'm about the same age as David) and it's easy to forget... I thought this would be impossible once. Well, the odds looked pretty bad at first. I barely scraped by in school, would never enter post secondary school, and at the time was terrible with math and logic. I didn't care about programming specifically though, I cared about what I could create with it. In retrospect, I'm glad I had the attitude and optimism that I did.

More on topic, I know of David through his website which, early on on my front end days, was an incredibly helpful resource. I vividly remember figuring out Mootools problems with the help of his articles. Ha, like this: https://davidwalsh.name/namespace-mootools

So out of date now, but man, some of his stuff saved my ass when I was thrown into a Mootools-heavy project in 2011-2012 with very little experience with JS. Great memories.
The Federal Courts Improvement Act of 1982 did that. District judges are about geographical boundaries and need to make decisions about every kind of subject area, but Federal Circuit court judges operate based on subject area. That way a patent lawyer that want to be a judge handling patents can go to the Federal Circuit court, and unsurprising a very large portion of Federal Circuit court judges are past lawyers working in industry with companies within the same subject area. As a result it is not very strange that a court packed with past IP lawyers are biased towards maximalist interpretations of IP law.
I agree with you. Question for the group, since hardware security isn't my area. Will Apple be able to update this vulnerable in a T2.1 or T3? Gives me a new reason for yet another MBP I guess (just purchased the 16")
Hi, Vapor is a protocol for building a decentralized web, but takes a different approach from other existing "decentralized internet" projects.

Instead of decentralizing the networking stack, Vapor focuses on on decentralizing the data packet itself, which means Vapor can live on top of any other networking stack, most notably HTTP. Because it's just vanilla HTTP, users don't need do things like connecting to P2P networks and the app looks just like a regular web app, except that every API is signed by the user Bitcoin wallet.

Note that the HTTP requests are serialized and stored as OFFCHAIN Bitcoin transactions by default and never bloats up the blockchain. Optionally, the offchain transactions can be compressed into a transaction id bundle and timestamped on the blockchain as well as taking advantage of the programmability and payment ability of the Bitcoin script itself, but by default it's all offchain, yet still achieves decentralization and trustless replication of HTTP requests.

The reference client is almost ready and just wanted to get it out there to see who's interested. Thank you for taking a look.

Yep, I too played Last of Us 2 on my v1-launch edition PS4 and I wasn't sure the console was going to survive to the end of the game. I was seriously concerned for the console's health. God of War is another game that put that console to its breaking point. A few times dropping down to what was probably 15-20fps with fans on at max-speed.

It actually is bad enough that I will limit gaming sessions out of concern for the hardware. Which is also probably better for me and my personal life.
Yeah, could've chosen a better name. I thought it was a fork of this or something.
>I don't think it would be infringement. The main difference between WINE and Android is where the interoperability integration points are. [...] Android is using the Java names for the purposes of allowing existing Java developers to be _productive_, not so that existing Java programs can run.

>Since Oracle's claim is that Google's use of the Java APIs wasn't to provide compatibility to existing software written in Java but to have a _familiar_ language for Java developers it becomes a novel but normal copyright case.

You're making a distinction between "interopability" and "end user familiarity". But Lotus also sued Borland on the basis of "familiarity" of the menu "names and structure" and they lost. The Supreme Court's 4-4 split decision left the lower appeals court's ruling intact.

H&M fined for breaking GDPR over employee surveillance
Thank you! So simple, so beautiful of an explanation.
Taxes in Ontario are similar to say California. That's not the reason wages are lower.
Exactly. The image in a mirror is physically symmetrical to the direct image from objects in the real world, with the mirror itself as the plane of symmetry.

I find the front-to-back explanation to give a better intuition than the typical "but left and right are relative to your body", which only serves to explain the paradox of "left-right are reversed but up-down ar not", but not the fact that everything looks flipped.
People have been trying for well over a century now to form alternative institutions (including governments) based entirely on human cooperation rather than competition. The results have typically been less than impressive so far. Keep in mind that part of the reason our modern concept of "intellectual property" exists is to encourage people to share their discoveries instead of keeping them secret - that's how deeply ingrained in human nature this behavior is.

"There's a need to allow artists and writers to make money"

The current system does not satisfy that standard. Artists and writers don't make money due to far-reaching copyright. Musicians make money by selling tickets to concerts and contract performances. Journalists make money from newspaper pay-walls and advertising.
Google is making this case, we'll see if the judges buy it. Just because porting Java apps to Android is easier because Google copied the API doesn't suddenly absolve them when it's Google's intention that will decide this case.
The confusion ultimately comes from a nebulous understanding of "flip". This is what we mean when we say our mirror image is flipped: We imagine the mirror represents an extension of our normal 3D world and rotate our body around the z-axis until our head and legs line up. That's we interact with our 3d world: we translate and rotate objects.

However, this isn't the only way to "flip" (i.e. rotate back). It seems like the only way because it is the only way to rotate the mirror image onto something that aligns with the non-mirror reality. The head must align with the head and the legs must align with the legs, and there is only one rotation that makes it work.

But now imagine you had some sort of isle of man flag [1] type body. That is, your arms remain, but your feet and your head turn into an arm. For lack of better term, call your "head-arm" upper-handed and call you "leg-arm" lower-handed.

Now when you look at your freakish mirror image, there are TWO ways you can rotate your the mirror image to correspond in some way with your body. You can rotate as usual around the z-axis, but you can also rotate around the y-axis. In that case, your left and right arms are not flipped, but your upper-arm and lower-arm are flipped.

That is, the whole confusion occurs because humans are symmetric in one dimension and non-symmetric in another.

We are:

==Y==

X=O=X

==Z==

As opposed to

==Y==

X=O=X

==Y==

This doesn't really surprise me. I think it's a bit of an ego-condition that the tech industry believes because only tech people understand technology that only tech people should be allowed to set policy on it.

In reality, technology (and technology companies) mirror their predecessors in other industries. And often abuses of copyright or antitrust by tech companies really isn't much different than the actions of companies decades ago, just obscured by a layer of technology magic.
You do realize that if literally all you do is change the names and spellings then you'll still be in violation of copyright, right?

In general that is largely true. In the particular type of copyright being argued in this particular case Oracle has stated that changing the name or spelling of the methods would have been enough to avoid being in violation:

Using the district court's "java.lang.Math.max" example, Oracle explains that the developers could have called it any number of things, including "Math.maximum" or "Arith.larger." This was not a situation where Oracle was selecting among preordained names and phrases to create its packages. As the district court recognized, moreover, "the Android method and class names could have been different from the names of their counterparts in Java and still have worked."
There is an entire section in the Wikipedia article describing empirical analysis.
Why does the optic need the same diameter? For gathering all of the light, with a mirror at least, I think you could place a smaller optic closer to the light and still capture the same fraction of the light?

A million years ago, during the "Netflix Challenge", I built a purely statistical model that briefly scored high enough to go onto their leader board. The (temporary) success of that model was large due to handling this question reasonably.

I theorized that reviewers would have their own scale, both in median (maybe they only give 4s and 5s), as well as range (a lot of people only give 1s and 5, losing all the resolution of the middle). My solution was to continuously keep each reviewer's ratings normalized both to the centerpoint (each review would have a delta added to it to re-center) as well as to standard deviation (each review would be scaled so that their overall stdev would be 1.0). The result is that everyone would look like a nice normal curve around 3.0.

This has a nice side effect of diluting ratings spam, too. If somebody spams 5s, they wind up being just average 3s. Even if they spam 1s and 5s, they're at least normalized to a lower spread.
Interesting, I hope you are onto something!

How would you prevent me from taking some $ from Corporate to write a genuine sounding but heavily biased review?

It seems a bit counter-intuitive, but dishwashers are not necessarily self-cleaning. Dishwasher owners really should spend some time every now and then to scrub and clean out their dishwashers, along with running some kind of cleaner through their dishwasher. Mold, scale, and food debris will eventually build up throughout the dishwasher, even if you try to let it air out completely. Proper cleaning and maintenance of your dishwasher will help it last a lot longer than assuming it is self cleaning. I should know, I recently came into ownership of a 12 year old dishwasher which "didn't work". Scrubbing and cleaning the machine led to the machine working for quite a while after.
It's very clear that the people in power in the UK and USA don't want the law to be enforced. They seemingly don't want low-crime society, they want only to be immune to prosecution themselves.

Your idea seems predicated on people in general being benevolent towards others. That's not going to work, there's a significant motivated cadre who want to do terrible things provided they 'win'. You don't enlist Cambridge Analytica when you think you're right, you do that sorry of thing when you don't care about being right/moral/legal but only about subjugating others.
This idea is brilliant. You get to read a book and practice typing at the same time. And on top of that you get to practice spelling too.

1Password[1] checks all or most of your boxes, I think.

There is an application for most platforms[2], and the Linux Development Preview just enabled write mode[3], so it should work fine — I prefer the CLI myself. If it does not work for you, there is always the browser extension version, 1Password X.

While I would prefer to use Bitwarden because it is open source and I can self-host it myself, the flexibility of 1Password is what makes it a win in my book.

I am building a privacy-focused company and 1Password is the only company from the USA that we use, simply because of how much more flexible it is than Bitwarden and the other options. Although, I last tested Bitwarden years ago, so things may have changed — keep that in mind. I should give them a try again.

At the end of the day, most options are either free or offer a trial period, so the best thing you can do is try them out and compare to see which one fit your use case the best. My use case is not the same as yours, so my needs are different — and the same go for other people in this thread, most likely.
