No it wasn't at all! What makes you think that? If you have read that somewhere you should be very careful with that source in the future because it is telling you the wrong things.

Here's the Republican-led senate report from September confirming exactly that the Russian intelligence hacked the DNC:

"The committee found that Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered the Russian effort to hack computer networks and accounts affiliated with the Democratic Party and leak information damaging to Hillary Clinton and her campaign for president" etc.

See page 174 onwards for details of what the GRU did and how they were traced.

The earlier Mueller report finds the same thing of course.

"Beginning in March 2016, units of the Russian Federation’s MainIntelligence Directorateof the General Staff (GRU) hacked thecomputers and email accounts of organizations, employees, and volunteers supporting the Clinton Campaign, including the email account of campaign chairman John Podesta." - see page 36, https://www.intelligence.senate.gov/sites/default/files/docu...
24/7 global market with exposure to almost every asset class including new ones with billions of notional USD in liquidity and where people actually are, is that not good enough?

I’m specifically referring to non-custodial decentralized exchanges and automated market maker systems like Uniswap, trading tokenized versions of things.

Every asset class is 99% speculation, including national currencies. Weird when people look at crypto by this other fictional higher standard that no other asset class would achieve while dismissing speculation as a lesser non-use case, not saying you did but predicting someone else was about to.
Everything else aside, the term makes sense.

It’s not the reverse of racism. It’s racism in the reverse direction than the more “traditional” one.
You can, yes, but marketing is very much a thing. The average person knows Tesla has self driving (to whatever extent), but not everyone knows a Honda Fit can drive itself. I sure didn’t.
Don't forget to send often marginalized people through as well!
I was recently laid off in tech and I flipped the "I'm looking for work" switch on linkedin and got literally dozens of messages from recruiters every day. I ultimately got a job that paid 10% better than my previous job, and I rushed the decision because I had only a small fraction of the severance that coinbase employees are receiving. Even with the "looking for work" switch toggled off, I get several messages from recruiters every day. No doubt our industry is affected by COVID, but there's no shortage of high-paying work.
I think OPs idea was where is the smallest unit. A recipe for chocolate chip cookies is a curated collection of recipes for each ingredients, chocolate chip being one.
They bought the company I was working for. They turned everything upside down. Tried to force us to sign contrats that would make them the owner of our public contributions which lead to an outrage so they backed down. Later they did "patent minig" sessions where they tried to extract good ideas from people for free. They also shut down all projects and pushed their Watson shit on us. They didn't give a shit about company culture, and people in general so 90% of the employees who had even a tiny bit of ambition left for a startup that was created by people who left IBM after the acquisition.
This sentence doesn't make any sense: "H. sapiens doesn’t have the possibility of quickly grabbing a load of diversity by mating with another group".

It would make sense if she specifically referred to Homo sapiens sapiens, but for Homo sapiens that "other group" would be of a different species and we thus we shouldn't be able to produce fertile offspring with them.

Also Homo sapiens sapiens have plenty of genetic diversity. Even just the number of easily observable environmental adaptions present in populations are countless (Sherpa, Bajau people, etc.)

As for COVID-19, most people are more-or-less unaffected by it. Our genetic diversity is working as intended.
Many of the stories from OAN are actually just Reuters stories. Not saying this is bad, many publications do this, but it would be cool if the app could filter those out.

> Think about how much capital will be required to put a million Waymo vehicles on the road.

Waymo can just license the tech and sensor suite to manufacturers and make money off that. They don't need to actually build and sell a million Waymo vehicles.

Most conservative activism is just...wrong
Waymo is part of a company that is sitting on $100B+, if they thought rolling out their own cars everywhere was worth it they could afford it easier than Tesla, but also they don't need to do it in a capital intensive way, they can partner with car manufacturers or ride hailing businesses and just be responsible for the driver.
Near the end of Yahoo Messenger, they were planning on releasing live-typing as the default, with no option to turn it off (the other person saw what you were typing as you typed it).

I don't remember if it actually made it into production, but it was rolled out to employees for dogfooding. It was the worst thing ever, especially since we were forced to use it for internal communications.
Somehow I'm not surprised since Apple likes totalitarian measures.

Tada for aligning product number. Previously, Ryzen APU 4000 has Ryzen 3000 equivalent core, 3000 = 2000, 2000 = 1000. Now 5000 = 5000 expected.
It's probably not a great signal for anything. How many Coinbase employees leave the company in an average month? And how much did this severance offer cause would-be future departures to cluster in October to take advantage of the payout?

At my startup (https://assembl.net) we use blockchain timestamping to provide an immutable timestamp of a researcher's data. This allows them to probably show they were the first to discover a certain idea, or work on a specific problem, without trusting a central party.

You're welcome to try it out at https://app.assembl.net. You'll see the blockchain involvement is quite minimal (no private keys, no cryptocurrency, etc.). The core feature, which is decentralized timestamping, necessitates a blockchain.

Do you have an idea of how to do this without a blockchain? I'm all ears.

One way might be to stigmatize or ban discussion of politics.
Well done paper. The premise is enticing for further development and investigation. Also alludes to very similar specific philosophical ideas on regulation while balancing a concrete investigation focused on a social perspective. Thank you for the post.

I guess the question is now:

"how do you create rules for unrules?"
I understand that applying utilitarian principles to a strictly deontological framework like the law is pointless, but the API issue is a situation where, regardless of the precedent or ideas about authorship, the adverse impact of a ruling in favor of Oracle on the broader tech sector seems like it should be the cardinal consideration.
I buy that reasoning standalone (albeit it's still prone to misinterpretation), but in context its advocates appear to believe it is congruent with or equivalent to 'equality'.
Personally I would like it if the workplace became a whole lot more political, seeing as the status quo is that you have no say in how the company is ran or what it does with its profits, and if you don't like it you can starve. Ignoring politics doesn't make it not exist.
>What's worse for Google is that code has always been considered copyrightable so arguing that APIs are non-copyrightable is essentially carving out an exception for a specific type of code.

Congress would have made that exemption when they made the law in the first place.

>A “computer program” is a set of statements or instructions to be used directly or indirectly in a computer in order to bring about a certain result.

This is an important fact people keep forgetting. Asking the Court to bluntly create legislation is never ever going to happen.
> The law understands that the whole is more than the sum of its parts.

My point is that "the whole" is the implementation of the Java standard library and the API is really still just the recipe.

> It's also an interesting model case because it's inherently so very open, without (particularly pre-Jigsaw) a clearly demarcated dividing line between "API" and "implementation."

The line is clear even if the language puts them both in the same file.

public class Foo {
public static void Hello(String[] args) {
System.out.println("Hello World");
}
}

"public static void Hello(String[] args)" is part of the API. "System.out.println("Hello World");" is the implementation of that function.

It's amazing how thoroughly prestige tech and its imitators have abandoned basic norms of professional culture like "don't wear bunny slippers at work" and "don't alienate your coworkers by calling their perfectly legitimate politics hate speech".
Transferring those bits with just the right logic for each transaction scenario is what still costs something. I'm sure the margin is massively excessive today. But I don't think it can be quite 'effectively free'.
Sorry for sniping your reply with an edit. Part of why I don’t like people asking what I was typing - I’m a compulsive redrafter of posts!

Agile Is Dead If You Do It Wrong: 7 Steps to Convince People Resistant to Change
There's so much talking about "agile is dead". But this is hypocrisy. People who don't know the rules at all (or, less often, have bad experience, for whatever reason) make bad marketing.

If you need a quick way to convince leaders, colleagues, managers make it easy to grasp. "7 steps, and you're done." [1] – It's about safer software, for a safe future. Not a hype or a religion. It must be done. Period.

The primary goal of this announcement isn't that Zen 3 is better than Zen 2, the goal is to show that AMD/Zen 3 is better than Intel. Zen 2 is already better at nearly all workloads, with the only exception being gaming.

They could focus on compilation benchmarks, content creation benchmarks, etc. But the people who care about those benchmarks are already going to be buying whatever the latest AMD CPU is in their segment. The only people who are going to sit down and say, "hmm, should I buy an AMD or Intel CPU?" are gamers. So that's where they're focusing their marketing budget.
Most people would describe the car suddenly coming to a halt apropos of nothing to be "wild application of brakes". Cmon.
This entire topic was discussed during the oral arguments. Google can not prove these adverse effects that they continue to claim will happen.

They have had 6 years to do so and yet they can not state a single instance.
I don't see the similarity.

A compiler outputs machine code, it doesn't implement machine code.

Google's Java implementation implements Java APIs.
This seems bad, as a precedent, for the entire industry/hobbyists/etc.

You don’t even have to go back that far; the, uh, productivity of Ghengis Khan and the mongols generally is widely discussed.
Which statement are you suggesting is not true? That a ban would not happen in response to that assertion?
I am also of the opinion that a big part of that is to not use tattle-chat systems whenever possible, because they actively work against exactly this.

I empathize, while realizing many don't have a say in what system their employer uses, which probably (I'm not sure) adds emphasis to if not further necessitates the clear definition of and enforcement of these kinds of boundaries.

I suspect for many people who are new to working from home to the extent that many of us have been for so long now, deliberate practice of this will be very difficult and a little painful at first. But like exercise of the body, the exercise and diplomatic deployment of these boundaries gets stronger and you learn new ways to use it without injury while reaping great outcomes with the people around you.

I find it interesting that when I was growing up, the person who invented the typing notification feature would have presented it as an achievement.

Now these articles start with him taking the 'blame'.

It feels so... like a new world... where most people are offended and angry by every tiny little annoyance of modern life. Where being angry and pessimistic is almost fashionable. Complaining about life, feeling hopeless, prophesizing disaster and externalizing problems is something people do to 'brag'.

I feel schools should include a decent amount of volunteering with people who have real problems. Maybe that way the next generation won't be so quick to focus on the negative. We're living in the best of times by all objective measurements.
> Funny, I don't see anyone complaining that Fruit Gushers hasn't taken a stand on child pornography?

Child pornography, from what I can tell, is not a controversial issue. Most companies haven't made statements about their views on murder, theft, and slavery either. But if the nation were prominently split over whether murder, theft, slavery, or child pornography are good things, I would hope some companies would make a statement.
Sure, but you could do something to ease initial shock?

Like: We'll give you an 80% discount in the first quarter, and the discount goes down by 20% per quarter, eventually you'll either be negotiating your contracts with us like any other potential customer, or you'll have moved off to some other platform.
Perhaps it shouldn't, but under current law it probably would be. Justice Roberts asked a very similar question during the hearing:

Roberts: Let's say someone copies the headings in your brief and they copy the organization in your brief, which sections you put first and how you organize them. Would your argument say that's perfectly fine so long as they write their own text?

Google's lawyer didn't really have a great response to that. He said "no but computer programs are different" but really didn't provide a compelling argument for why.

They offer their POWER machines as AIX and IBM i environments, as well as IBM z as LinuxONE VMs (under KVM instead of z/VM) with encryption everywhere for the security paranoid.

I suppose a z15 LinuxONE cloud offering would be attractive for them to offer because of all the built in observability, and also because those cores can be ridiculously oversubscribed before anyone notices.

As for pricing, they wouldn't need to pay their margins unless they eat into their other segments.
Those are some serious accusations (doxxing for bad book reviews, Twitter arguments).

If you can provide the references, I am open to reviewing them and act accordingly in the future.
Yeah this is ultimately the case Waymo are in the lead, if you imagine the only way this happens is if eventually one organization gets the hardware/software/dataset/patents that makes full self-driving possible and they will license it to everyone else, then Waymo is the most likely candidate.
It's as political as banning goofing off at work. You aren't hired to spend the working day debating politics with your co workers, just like you aren't hired to blow off the day playing Halo in the back room with your coworkers. You are hired to do the tasks described in your job and that alone.

I haven't tried with a five year old version of SBCL, but even early on (from the beginning of the project?) SBCL treated type declarations (using DECLARE) as assertions (as opposed to mere hints for optimization), making it what some might call a gradual-typed system. So with properly declared type, SBCL could have found it then too.

Now, some discourage the use of type declarations in Common Lisp (for a variety of reasons, one being the limited portability as less clever compilers don't warn against mismatch, but might produce broken code) and suggest the (run-time type testing) CHECK-TYPE (standard) macro instead. SBCL's type inference (at least in recent versions) is sufficiently clever to detect mismatches at compile time, when the type is (implicitly) announced using CHECK-TYPE.
There are two problems with that.

First, as colejohnson66 pointed out, that may be a derivative work. This will depend on how your transformer actually works.

I can't think of any way to do it that does not involve having access at run time to a copy of the copyrighted API. If that copy is part of the transformer, there is a good chance the transform is a derivative work.

If the transformer does not include the copyrighted API, instead getting information about it from some external source that the user must supply at run time such as via an input file describing the API using some sort of API description language then it is much less likely to be a derivative work. Well, at least if it somewhat general, working with several APIs described in that language rather than just working with the one particular copyrighted API.

Second, even if it is not a derivative work, the people who use it to make the shim might be infringing. Usually that would not be your problem (unless you do something like indemnify your users, which I'll assume you would not be insane enough to do).

However, you have to at least consider contributory infringement. If I infringe someone's copyright using tools I got from you, and those tools have no substantial use other than infringing copyright, you can be held liable along with me for the infringement.

As with the derivative work case, if you can make the transformer general purpose so that it can be used for transforming APIs that are not copyrighted too, you should be able to avoid contributory infringement.
ICQ also had the 'real time typing' years earlier. It felt pretty normal at the time!
His claim that there is no creativity involved in designing an API is plainly absurd as well, and from the transcript I don't think the justices bought that at all. And I agree with the Justice Department lawyer that the "no other way to do it" argument he pushed at the beginning is circular.
> Alito's not unreasonable to suggest that a Supreme Court ruling in Google's favor might raise difficult questions about how copyright law applies to software in general.

That's true, and while I have a very clear way I would like the Court to handle that personally, it's probably a good reason for the Court to look for an excuse to punt hard on copyrightability if it is open to them (and the procedural issue on fair use seems to offer that opportunity) and let the Circuit Courts (and I don't mean the Federal Circuit dubiously interpreting some regional circuit’s law) develop this issue more before resolving it at the Supreme Court level.
