This is the right principle to have absorbed from the article linked, but applied incorrectly.

For either of the hypotheticals here, it would be possible to operate in the way described, subject to some constraints. There is no reason to think that the courts would perceive any legal imperative to recognize the distinction between server licenses or otherwise on copyright grounds. Companies can't invent law and say that it applies just because they wrote down how they'd like for things to work.

The technical reasons referenced earlier are what make these hypotheticals untenable, not law.
Why does dilution matter? Why would one care if your ownership percentage changes? Unless you’re a cofounder or engineer #1, I don’t think there’s a lot of value in trying to understand number of shares and dilution.
Isn't the "interpreting" step the one that matters?

Apple takes a photo, runs it through some on-device transformations to create an encrypted safety voucher, then it gets "interpreted" once it's uploaded to the cloud and Apple attempts to decrypt it using their secret key.

Google uploads a raw photo, which itself is essentially a meaningless value in the context of identifying CSAM, and Google "interprets" it on the server by hashing it and comparing it against some database.

In both cases, the values that are uploaded by the respective companies' devices don't mean anything, in the context of CSAM identification, until they are interpreted on the server.

I been using it for a while and love it.
An excessive bias to internal hires, though, runs the risk of organizational ossification.

I've spent most of my career in consulting organizations, and sometimes our clients have been orgs with a high percentage of "lifer" employees for whatever reason. (Often, this is because the employer is one of only a few good, white-collar employers in an area, which is its own cost.)

Orgs with insufficient new blood get stuck. They think of the Company Way as the only way, and policy begins to replace thought pretty much across the board.

One example, early in my career -- before I went to consulting, even -- was a place I worked for 2 years in the mid-90s. They were a 100% VAX shop much later than the rest of the industry, and were known to pretty much hire new technical people only right of of college. As a result, they ended up technically isolated from the mainstream.

Once they realized that they were spending WAY more on homegrown solutions than they would on a commercial DB, it was really too late -- new grads didn't want to work on a dying platform, and the veterans had no experience working on anything other than the homegrown stuff.

I'd be surprised if they nuked it before their IPO, wouldn't want to slash traffic. But, don't have high hopes for after IPO.
I don't know what their explanation is, but one explanation would be that people frequently use piracy to try out and compare products. Later, once they have decided on the best product, some of them go legit. That's certainly how I used piracy in the past.

So the customers are way better informed with piracy, which forces companies to innovate more quickly to stay ahead. They can no longer rely on deceptive marketing practices and market dominance.

> Cause the whole article reads like "developers are whiny assholes who don't know shit about computers". And yes, it starts with an attack and ends with an attack too.

There is no attack in the text. There is a complaint that issues presented to operations often lack the basic level of detail and due diligence that they should have. You are free to disagree with the author's expected level of due diligence on issues; I think you'd be wrong to, but you can. However, it isn't an attack.

You perceive a non-attack as an attack, and respond with an explicit attack and name-calling. That actually makes you the aggressor.

Hmm, who is the asshole here?
I think a better query is "how many types of snow exist"?
On my experience, one, snow, period.
Somebody living in north Canada, probably have more variations of the snow.
In Eskimo language, there are ~300 words to express the variations of snow
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eskimo_words_for_snow

Does this imply that every query about snow should be expressed in all these 300 variations of snow. Do I even know or care as a non-Eskimo speaker of all these variations?
Due to chip shortage.
Not conclusively. Some studies find that glyphosate causes increased incidence of non-Hodgkin lymphoma [0], although most environment regulators have minimized these results. Anecdotally, in my hometown, of the two men who over the last several decades personally have applied the most glyphosate (although, to be fair, most other herbicides as well), one is already dead before his time from cancer and the other's health is failing. Humans shouldn't die painfully in their 50s.

The reason being solely that people of those two groups declare themselves and justify their behavior under the LGBT umbrella.

Saying you're LGBT doesn't inherently make you LGBT - nor does it grant you any particular credibility. The community is insanely diverse these days and at least in American politics, most of the large issues have been resolved (with the exception of trans individuals, who still face struggles w.r.t. insurance and healthcare).

MAPs tend to latch on saying their "attractions" (pedophilia) are part of their unique sexual identity. This is not true, and GP is correct in pointing out these two groups cannot adequately acquire consent from the other party - one is incapable, and other has determined to be not of mature enough mind and body to do so.

I disagree. 40% is not great, but unlike the masses of developers, this is a single system that can improve over time. Further, a system that can do most of the work but requires a security specialist to polish it is still a useful tool. What's important to recognize is that this is not a terribly novel concept.

They also could have had a legitimate claim to non-technical people (at the FBI/NSA/blah) that "you sure you want this? this system will be abused...someone could write a hash collision". The Gov't agency scoffed because they didn't believe it.

So Apple called them out on it by letting the market decide. They now have that evidence.
> None have really succeeded.

I don't think that "success" here is particularly well-defined. There are lots of Qt-based applications running on multiple platforms with a single codebase. That could easily meet a fairly strong definition of "success".
Eh this approach still exists at FANG companies, it seems like we stockpile patents to ensure that if we get sued by another FANG-level company it's mutually assured destruction.

“The plants are bigger” isn’t evidence either pro or con, nutrition is about what’s in the plants rather than their raw mass — they might be more nutritious, or less, or even both at the same time because the balance of proteins, sugars, fats, vitamins, and minerals shifted.

Edit: after looking around, The CSAM hash compare is one of two tools. The other is using on-device machine learning to analyze message image attachments and determine if a photo is sexually explicit

The biggest issue with "piracy" overall is that it describes a phenomenon where users of an existing platform are sticking to the agreed upon way of using that platform as designed despite corporate lawyers' best attempts at changing terms to try and invent a scarcity where there is none.

They tried to invent jaywalking for the web, and it went... poorly. At least outside of corporate-lawyer-heavy circles.
My company has always provided these. Applicants are obviously going to find out the current strike price as soon as their options are granted, so hiding that seems particularly strange.
> No real way to build a skyscraper or produce a state of the art feature film on free software.

I don't know much about building skyscrapers, but we neither need "state of the art feature film" nor are incapable of producing perfectly adequate film with the tools currently available as free software. There are also countless feature film and animation tools that run and are used on Linux all the time.

Irrespective, I do actually think your viewpoint is valid generally speaking in that FOSS operating systems are inadequate for general purpose computing. They're great for servers or specific tooling, but they suck horse chestnuts if you just want something you can install whatever you want on them and just expect it to work as well as you can on something like macOS or Windows. Those who deny that usually are power users that don't see things from the perspective of the average person who isn't a software engineer or tinkerer.

Of course, this is a failing of both the system and society itself. We ought to know better, but we are too lazy and too hooked on convenience to care enough.
Even a specific dependency can sneak malicious code.

I read the question as "what if the designer uses designer tools to make a PNG with text instead of HTML that calls for a fancy font, then posts that?" It seems like that should (in the US) work like any normal use of a font on a designer's pc^Wmac, and the image doesn't get copyright-like encumbrances from the font.

They suck for two reasons: primarily now I need an account for everything I use with separate billing charges. It becomes annoying to manage. The other reason the egregious costs these companies charge. For a compiled version of software back in the day, I could get something that worked for $30-$100 and it would last years if not a decade. Now, some of these places are charging like $3-$20/month! Software value has not increased that much. If I gotta start paying for TODO apps and calendar managers, I'm just gonna move to Org Mode. The majority of what software provides is a nice gui environment to manage text. No clue how this crap can be worth as much as it is aside from supporting multiple platforms and enabling web based usage.
Do publicly traded companies typically give stock options(ISOs)? I think they typically give RSUs, these are great because they are liquid, but they are also taxed as income tax which is about twice as high as the long term capital gains.
Fair enough. If you're working on smaller projects I totally understand where you're coming from. Unreal's workflows are very much built with an eye towards large teams/AAA where there's a very hard division between engineering/design/art, and having a simpler language (blueprint) that doesn't require much training and that engineering teams can use to expose just what's necessary is a benefit rather than a detriment.

Unfortunately Unreal doesn't really have a middle ground - something between the complexity of C++ and the simplicity of Blueprint. There's been rumblings of a new text-based scripting language (Verse - https://twitter.com/saji8k/status/1339709691564179464) but it hasn't been officially commented on by Epic outside of a single presentation where it was shown in relation to Fortnite.
Atlassian is a blight. Developers are supposed to be informed consumers of software. Yet Atlassian applies an information hiding strategy to UX which means that their tools often have features that you simply do not know about because your role doesn’t allow that feature. How are we supposed to reason about the possible if people are hiding information? I have coworkers doing horrible manual processes or stuffing shell scripts into Bamboo tasks because they don’t know they just need to ask someone else to push a button for them or add them as admin permissions on a project.

It creates a class of salty user who go around doing things like calling you a blight in public.

Know your audience. UX != DevEx.
> In the end, I don't think nobody has good enough reason to hide stuff from the US government, at least that's my opinion, as long as the US gov is not too evil or not too corrupt. As long as other dangerous governments or criminals can't do too much cyber damage, things are fine.

Such a bizarre take. The US government is one of the most belligerent and feared governments in the world, with a known track record of starting wars, toppling democratic governements that are opposed to them, ignoring international law, prioritizing US corporations over any local peoples. China and Russia aren't even half as scary to the vast majority of the planet.
Yeah, as I wrote in another comment this happened to me too. Admittedly it was only a single position so my situation may not have been quite as bad, but it was a little frustrating not to get any response even though the role remained unfilled. I ended up leaving for an external position.
You don't really own a percentage of the company, you own a number of shares.
Totally agree. Enjoying Clubhouse.io for that reason.
Adobe had 3 generations of designers, etc hooked on their products because of ease of piracy much like drug dealers giving out samples of crack in early 80s to build their customer base. A large part of "their" patents came from companies they acquired and integrated versus innovating on their own. So I don't think patent portfolios are a good measure. Disclaimer: "May not apply in all situations. Use at your own discretion".
>Modern farmers are keenly aware of soil quality and spend a lot of time and money to keep their farms running at top efficiency.

You sure about that? When I was ARS, sure there were 3-4 farmers I met who took SOC and and soil health seriously; individuals who wanted to think about their soil as an ecosystem and grow their soils as they did their crops. Then there were the other 96-97 farmers you would meet who could give two wiffs of stinky piss about doing anything other than extracting as much value off their land as quickly as possible. This was typically done with high degrees of tillage, large quantities of fertilizer, and significant doses of herbicide. If there SOC levels dropped below 5%, they would just buy in lime and lime the shit out of the fields. Rinse, wash hands, repeat.

Its purely anecdotal, but the *vast* majority of farmers I had the opportunity were not good farmers and not interested in any kind of longer term relationship with their soils. Most seems like they were trying to extract maybe 5-15 more years of growth out of their soils before they were completely depleted of SOC and basically not usable as farm-able land. We're talking about a region that prior to cultivation had SOC levels in the 30-40s; most of the soils there now are down at below 10%, many as low as 5%, which is borderline being able to grow anything at all.
It gives you an idea of how much upside there is. If the stock is at $1/share, that tells you nothing. But is the valuation is $100 million and you think it could go over $1 billion, that means your funny money could maybe 10x. If you think it’s a billion dollar company and the valuation of $2 billion, maybe your shares are inherently worthless.
According to the article, this research was published by the Russell Sage Foundation, with the specific goal of coercing Congress to extend an existing child tax credit for poor families. You can decide for yourself how trustworthy, or how biased, the underlying report may be.
In practice, this is not how it would work out - the farming entity is incentivized to produce the maximum profit - if you can make 50% more food and sell it for the same price, you will just make 50% more food. Even if you can make 50% more food and sell it for 80% of the price per unit you will still do that because it means more profit.
Are you sure they did? Or it’s just a doge to avoiding bad press at the time they getting ready to introduce new devices.
