You can do the same exercise for Apple and find loads of copying, but Apple fans will say the Apple feature or product somehow wasn't a copy. Even in your own list, there are Apple copies, like HomePod and App Clips. Earin preceeded Airpods (along with a long line of bluetooth earpieces).

Apple has copied tons of features from Android, Chrome, and Maps over the years, mostly ignored, but as soon as Android gets a feature iOS had, Apple fanboys make a huge deal over it. Apple's been playing this game for decades, all the way back to the era of constantly accusing Microsoft of copying "Redmond, start your copiers!"

Apple literally stole Spotify's entire business model for Apple Music, and then turned around and used their platform ownership to punish them. Apple Fitness copied Fitbit and Peleton. Apple TV+ basically followed everyone else getting into streaming. Hell, it appeared at one point, they were even going to copy Tesla by making an EV.

All major tech companies have a 'copy, acquire, kill' strategy for competition. Apple is not different.

As usual, the solution lies in peer-to-peer apps where there is no centralized provider that will have any responsibility or oversight. Wait... isn't that what infringers already use?

legislators are voted by the people, with many different ideas. they aren't a caste disconnected by the rest of the World.

especially in EU institutions where is much harder to make a career over lobbying for some local interest.

Worst politicians in Europe work in national parliaments.

You mean in their houses, where the vast majority of the abuses take place?

Whatever one thinks of the legal grounding of the Roe decision, those criticisms pale in comparison to throwing stare decisis out the window and trying to make an enumerated-rights argument without even addressing the 9th amendment[1] in the room.

> Dart isn't horrible and is getting better, but it is still a somewhat awkward mish mash of Java and JavaScript, and I don't enjoy using it.

All anecdotal:

I've only met one person who was excited to work with Dart, huge Google fanatic/fanboy. Otherwise it's sorta seen as a unique language choice that makes other devs go, "oh..."

The Java/ECMA ergonomics are weird, it's hard to find devs who have experience with the lang, and due to the language popularity there's a lot less community/3rd party deps available.

I really tried hard to give it a fair shake back in the day but I just ended up sticking with Node (and now +Deno), Typescript, or Go if I need performance/types. There are way better ecosystems around these and I find the tooling/ergonomics much less awkward. Also, if/when I need to hire devs onto my teams I will have a much easier time.

Also, I can actually write a serverless function in these tools (GCP Functions, AWS Lambda) - as far as I know there's nothing like this available for Dart.

---

EDIT: It's worth mentioning I've only had Dart jammed down my throat on the backend (API's, data transforms, jobservers, etc). It may be a fine tool in regards with Flutter, but it felt like a really awkward tool for where it's come up in my career.

That was true more often in the old days, but I feel like by ~2000 top brands realized they can just mark up everything 1000%. Linked to rise of the 1% it seems.

The reason for this is because NVIDIA's Turing and above GPUs use a new microcontroller called the GSP, which is RISC-V based. From my understanding, NVIDIA has offloaded their proprietary IP from the closed-source driver to the GSP firmware (and not the older microcontroller present on Pascal and lower). This is why `gsp.bin` exists in `linux-firmware` now, and the FOSS driver targets the GSP (because now the proprietary stuff isn't in the kernel driver but rather a RISC-V ELF binary that runs on the GPU), not the older controller.
That is a reason to avoid cross platform frameworks. But there are big reasons in favour of using then as well. It's a trade-off depending on your use case.
The reason is right there in the ticket. They have exactly one dependency, and it's optional. They don't want to vendor it just so they can build the no-capstone artifact in CI without having to phone home to crates.io or whatever. You don't have to agree with her, but you can't pretend she didn't give a clear reason.
Exactly. Like when L.L. Bean stuff was actually made in Maine it was incredible. They've gotten rid of their "lifetime replacement guarantee" supposedly because of people abusing it by buying old boots and things in yard sales and returning them for new ones, but the fact is they couldn't really do it any more because while their stuff used to last forever, now it doesn't.
Maybe put differently: You can be 9-5 FAANG type and retire as early as 40. In contrast, due to the delayed paycheck for specialists... they're looking at another 10 years after that. Likewise, at FAANG, you're living large as a 20-something, while specialists are running on debt & tiny stipends while going through crazy stress: you don't get to enjoy that paycheck while in your prime. There are always outliers, but with 500K+ well-paid folks just in FAANG, and probably 1M+ when other high paying are included, there's a reason even medical folks are getting squeezed out of the bay area.
The point is: if you want to include a GPL licensed header, your code must comply with its license. Your opinion on the GPL is an entirely different matter.

These aren’t bad bankruptcy laws. They are actually good and protect things that are most important- bondholders and higher priority creditors.

I don’t think letting companies set their own creditor priorities would really be feasible if we want to have predictable securities markets.

I assume that if we let companies protect certain assets from creditors during bankruptcy they would set aside massive bonuses and all sorts of other shenanigans.

It's not 100%, but that doesn't make it less appalling. That 1.5°C target was something we're worried about for the next century, not the next half-decade.

For us to hit 1.5°C in the next five years would require several things to happen at once. It would be an unusually hot year; the next year would almost certainly be less bad. But we will see it more and more, and the earlier we see it for the first time, the worse it will be over the next hundred years.

> I was super upset after visiting China and returning to the USA. Our immigration people were so much more authoritarian scary than the Chinese had been. And the Chinese had this cool smiley computer interface where you rated the chinese immigration official for their interaction on the spot. So China was not only friendlier and more welcoming, but also more accountable.

I've seen those machines at Ikea in the US, though they did seem more common in China.

However, it's almost unbelievably superficial to rate "authoritarianess" by the anecdotal cheeriness of front like officials.

In the last few years TNF has increased focus on streetwear though. I have become more hesitant to buy gear from them due to this since i suspect this has affected quality.
A lone white male. Sorry it wasn't totally clear.

For all intents and purposes, women count as minorities. Google has plenty of pictures with white women, and white men and women. But so far I have only found one picture with a lone white male (on one of the chromecast pages, on the TV was a show page, and the show page had a lone white male). I guess they can get 1/2 credit for that. Oh and I found a picture of a lone white guy, but he was disabled. So I guess that technically counts, although he would still fall into the "minority/disadvantaged" camp.
Absolutely incredible. What a nightmare. But also, haven't we all daydreamed of handling a moment like this gracefully?
This might not be universally true soon. The Netherlands proposed changing the law so teens are okay sexting one another as long as there is mutual consent and it's not to make money[0]. However, it has been stalled for a few years now. (I initially thought it was accepted, but now things are forecasted to be 2024). I also suspect that despite it being illegal, very little action is undertaken while the above requirements are still met.

I do not know about other EU countries.

This is written in such a way that it seems like it makes sense, but it ultimately takes its conclusion as an axiom and is thus essentially meaningless.

Gerrymandering is to draw districts according to political party affiliations. So of course if you only divide up your districts by political party affiliation (in rather extreme ways) you will discover that doing so doesn't lead to stable political systems. No shit, that's the problem with gerrymandering.

Any serious analysis of this problem needs to confront the realities of geographical location and migration.
Well, that's technically legal in most places if it's in a public space.

Thanks for sharing that. Someday, an AI will want an eye-catching way to display its mood to others. I expect it will use images like your color orbs.
How much weight do you think it would realistically take to alter flight in a plane of this size? For instance, if both the pilot and passenger weighed e.g. 200lbs and sat toward the left of the plane, would that considerably (or perhaps even just perceptibly) impact flight? Same for some of the other variables, is there an appreciable different for things like magnetic variation? Wind, of course, seems reasonable - the others I've heard less about. I don't fly, and have never been in a small engine craft.

It doesn't break Charles Proxy unless you installed your CA cert in a method that is typically used by httptoolkit (installing in the system store).

What is broken is installing a custom CA into the system store on a rooted phone and making it work with all apps (apks) and Chrome.

If you install the custom CA into the user store it'll still work with Chrome.

If you want to use Charles to inspect the HTTPS traffic of an app you are developing then you continue to follow the instructions from https://www.charlesproxy.com/documentation/using-charles/ssl... to configure your test build to use the user store CA certs.

If you want to use Charles to inspect apps from other developers then you need to rebuild them to trust the user store just like you would if you were developing the app yourself. Use https://github.com/shroudedcode/apk-mitm to automate that process.

httptoolkit uses the method they do because it was the easiest way to get setup to inspect everything. Its tedious to get every app setup to trust the user store.
I can tell your comment comes from a place of wanting to be kind and I commend you for that intention.

We just have different definitions of what constitutes being kind. I think it is kinder to tell people what you really think than it is to coddle them. Sometimes people are better off hearing hard truths.

I think this article is too absolutist in its conclusions (and its interpretation of Arrow's theorem). There are definitely ways to limit the worst effects of gerrymandering. We came close with a lawsuit from Wisconsin (I forget the details) and there was hope that Justice Kennedy was waiting for that to make it to the Supreme Court, but then he decided the other way and promptly retired.

Then again, self flying planes have been a thing since the early 1910s. It's far easier when you can just pick and altitude and heading and you're basically 99.9% in the clear that you won't hit anything.

In a car that approach will get you roughly a few meters forward, so it's incredibly hard to make a working car autopilot in comparison.

> I prefer to rely on a proxy to perform TLS instead of the browser.

That's one step forward and about 30 steps backwards if you're actually doing that for security.
Proxies silently accept broken TLS configuration all the time and serve then to you as https secured. You're unlikely to encounter invalid https configurations nowadays, so you likely won't ever notice, but it's definitely less secure to break the TLS connection in the proxy
The part about them being buggy is definitely true.

Up until somewhere around 2016-2017 the ATI/AMD drivers were really bad.

I had an "HD 7850" GPU on Linux around that time and it was barely usable. The performance was less than half of what you got on Windows, and the drivers would crash very often, sometimes several times a day if I was trying to play games like Team Fortress 2.

It was so bad that I decided to replace the HD 7850 with a new GTX 970 and decided to not buy anymore AMD GPUs for the indefinite future. The GTX 970 was stable and performed very well with the closed source drivers, and other than them being closed source I never had an issue with them. I always installed the closed drivers through the system package manager which handled all of the tricky stuff for me (Arch Linux maintains the nvidia driver as a system package and makes sure it runs on the current kernel before releasing it).

In modern times the situation has flipped though. I still haven't bought an AMD GPU since then but I am pretty sure my next one will be.

miomg, that's really funny. I like the name, all lowercase like fgemm (https://www.fgemm.com, coming soon).

Well they're not no-name brands, they have names, and in fact in China miomg will probably have some say in you making false miomg cards, I mean you can't plop down right next door to them and do that. So these names are unknown in the West. But like their mothers know about them, the OP rolled the dice and found out about them that way, with my comment this post will have 1 comment and more people may read it. But they have names, it says their names right on the card, miomg is a name, it's the name of the fastest cards you reviewed.

They're under no obligation of making defective cards. Just because you're exposing yourself to buying bad products does not force them to sell you a bad product. Maybe they did a really good job on it, or may have thought of some way to make it at a really good price, some ingenious thing, a way to salvage surplus chips. They can think, you know.

They might get repeat business, hey. They might make a name for themselves, they just did in a way. Obviously don't have the snazzy PR team thing, like the liasons, the white executive guy (that's a well-dressed Westerner whose job is to be white, in the sense European-descendant-looking because Chinese are white too but don't have eg blue eyes and red hair, and like receive people at the company and be seen being white).

So you know what? Even if this is guerrilla marketing, it is still a form of marketing for miomg, and I accept it as ingenious. And they just picked that crazy a name, miomg, those five specific letters in that specific order, that I buy it. They don't own the dot-com though, or they do, like I own fgemm.com, but they don't have anything on it yet.

Build it and they will come.
I think one of the matters that confused me about it was the CLISP question. IIRC, CLISP linked to readline, but was released under a non-GPL license.

RMS contacted them, and asked them to relicense. They suggested either reimplementing a stub readline-library, or rewriting their line editing code against another lib instead. RMS insisted that they would still be a GPL-derivative, resulting in the current license situation.

I may be misremembering the recount of this, as this was way before my time.

As a webdev a few years ago, the Chromium team was oodles better than anyone else at delivering a reliable browser, and wayyyy better at fixing bugs than any other software team I have ever dealt with in my career (I just submitted bug reports to them, no direct or formal interaction). No idea what they are like now, but hotdamn that team was superlative. I hope it is enjoyable to work there, because the work output was phenomenal.
It's a little ironic to argue the utility of banning something by comparing it to another thing which is already entirely prohibited but completely widespread throughout all of society anyway.
Some shops do apply machine learning on recorded videos of customers to find out more info about how they navigate the store. As far as I remember, even electronic advertising panels have cameras and track how long people are looking at the ad and store the age/race of the person.
Because people didn't understand that emoji was supposed to represent concepts, and saw them as small illustrations instead. That's also why Apple's version is basically the de facto standard now, and Google and Microsoft has had to adjust theirs to look more like Apple's to minimize confusion when the small pictograms doesn't look the same for sender and receiver.
