You can read it for yourself - https://aomedia.org/license/patent-license/

First, near as I can tell, they only claim you need a patent license if you distribute an encoder/decoder. MPEG-LA has claimed distributing encoded video needed a patent license as well, but backtracked on trying to charge for it.

Second, your agreement to license your own patents only covers Necessary Claims on the Implementation (both the specific implementation you're distributing and the reference.) Which by definition can't cover any future inventions, because if the implementation already infringed them then they aren't novel inventions. But it does explicitly claim to include IP you acquire in the future that applies.

Also, I think the intention is that the license you have to grant only covers implementations of AOMedia standards; if a VVC implementation or whatever also used your invention, that would probably need a separate license you could charge for.

Apart from the extremes of heteromorphic differences that can occur between different populations of humans, and the small chance that a very small woman might give birth to a very large baby.. What does any of that have concretely to do with society being Homogenous? What evidence do you have that Japan is actually Homogenous? How do you define that.. There is great diversity in Japan...
Desktop apps declined in popularity largely because of security concerns - you could download a virus that would steal data from all your other critical apps, like password managers or Bitcoin wallets. Browser apps are somewhat better isolated. Is there a way to prevent downloaded exe's from installing key loggers and root kits?
And because a death of say a heart attack - after a bad case of Covid that weakens the heart - goes down as a "heart attack" instead of Covid. The issue that general deaths are up is genuinely something we should be very worried about. Attributing it to the vaccine because of the year in which it happened is just lazy ass cherry picking.
For me, a good way to evaluate whether you should combine them is to ask this question:
If I need to change it on one location, do I need to do the same on all the location? If yes then it's a good candidate to abstract the code.
There are hundreds of millions of americans. These mass shooting events are insignifigant in the grand scheme of things. I don't think we should give away our essential freedoms just so we can live in a "safe" country like... China and India?

He did start a trade war with South Korea over the whole comfort women issue, when the countries had started off being closer allies. https://foreignpolicy.com/2020/09/04/shinzo-abe-japan-south-...

> All of this drove South Korea-Japan relations to the brink, and then Abe’s most egregious misstep marched the relationship off the cliff.All of this drove South Korea-Japan relations to the brink, and then Abe’s most egregious misstep marched the relationship off the cliff. In order to settle the historical score, he weaponized the two countries’ trade relationship. In October 2018, South Korea’s Supreme Court issued the long-delayed opinion that Japanese corporations that used slave labor from Korea during World War II must pay reparations to surviving slave laborers. (The delay was in part because since 2013, Japan’s foreign ministry had been issuing barely disguised threats for the South Korean government to “respond appropriately” to the pending case, and the quasi-authoritarian Park Geun-hye government acquiesced and pressured the Supreme Court to delay the ruling in contravention of the most basic principles of separation of powers.)
In response to the court’s opinion—which ordered the reparation of $89,000, a negligible amount for Japan’s largest corporations—Abe declared a trade war. The Abe administration announced export control against South Korea for three critical chemicals used in high-end display and semiconductor manufacturing, immediately after the G-20 summit in Osaka, Japan, in which the prime minister called for a free and fair trade. When confronted with the criticism that Japan was using trade for political purposes, Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga (the front-runner to be the next prime minister) vaguely cited national security concerns as the reason for the export control, even as he dangled the idea that South Korea “did not offer a satisfactory solution over the issue of former workers.” So flimsy was the justification that some experts observing the issue noted that Japanese officials “haven’t provided any evidence” and “have not named companies or said how supplies may have been mismanaged.” Others went further, calling Tokyo’s excuse “duplicitous” and saying it was behaving “spuriously.”
Looks like tubes and black tape.
You know who else boosted their respective country's economy?

This is a dangerous narrative you are going down.
They're talking about a specific issue with federation at scale. I run a hybrid conference in Seattle and we use Matrix. I make a successful living out of this, so it seems a stretch to call it useless.
Hi! Thanks for your feedback! We were partly inspired by Noom (https://www.noom.com/) and the success they have with longer surveys. That being said, we're definitely hearing the feedback here, and will look into either how we can simplify our survey or offer an option to bypass it.
The SDF already exists and is huge. There is already a huge amount of American military across the country as well. The constitution does not prevent defensive measures and it is doable.

What isn’t doable or is very tricky is things like Japan joining an allied nation in a fight in another place (for example it could not participate in Afghanistan or Iraq). Abe pushed for the idea of collective defense to allow for the govt to send in forces for those kinds of actions.

Japan can defend itself against China all it wants, but the current legal idea is it can’t actively participate in conflicts where it’s not directly involved. This is the thing Abe wanted to change, and is an unpopular idea in Japan.
This argument that "look at the gun controlled state" after a shooting is such a dumb one to make.

How many mass shootings happen in Japan?
How many kids are killed in Japanese schools because someone barged in with a military grade assault weapon, tactical gear and unlimited ammo?
How many gun killings per capita happen in Japan?
How many people per capita in Japan have gun violence as a priority as compared to the US?

So many questions that have answers in favor of gun control are ignored.

Guns are in-compatible with human nature (The off chance of a bad decision for revenge or murderous rampage is high enough to ban guns). Because they distort the power in favor of the gun bearer.
Really nice site. Works great on mobile.

It’s not just IndoPacific.

Sure; I saw more empty shopping malls in Malaysia than anywhere else. Chinese built and just waiting.

But there are massive road projects in Costa Rica complete with Chinese heavy machines and marked lumber. Same in South Africa and I watched Chinese contractors doing surveying in Eswatini.

Apparently in Costa Rica at least; these workers are there for year or two contracts, then are given citizenship and their families brought over, they live in gov housing camps that look like prisons and should have saved enough money in their time to open a store or start a business.

It’s not JUST owning infrastructure. It’s a long term agreement these countries are making with China.
it's extremely hard to do at those data rates. if it wasn't there would be existing examples. Facebook tried and failed.
Hey,thanks for the link, really interesting. Lol, though, on the quote from Lemoine, "All the individual people at Google care." I know some individual people at Google who _don't_ care, at least, they don't care about the philosophical implications of the ethical issues they are creating. They care only about, or at least much more about, the profit making implications of what their business units are creating. They particularly believe that any public deliberation about Google's right to behave as it does, is itself the greatest moral failure, and not Google's behavior itself.

I don't know why there's this meme among Google employees that ALL their fellow employees are starry-eyed do-gooders. Plenty of folks at the top are avaricious douches.
Ideally, He could have kept a low profile regarding WW2-related issues and events just like the previous emperor. It's not a must to pay a visit to such shrines. I wonder what would happen if a politician regularly visits a church that worships Adolf Hitler and other war criminals.
It's a bunch of people who like working on the compiler, working on the compiler. Nim proper doesn't have as much flexibility to make breaking changes, and this has limited much-needed internal refactoring.

There was a falling out between some developers on the Discord that led to personal attacks and an eventual banning a while back. If I recall, nimskull started shortly after, and has attracted a few other compiler developers since.

Not sure if this is pointed at me since I made the sneaky liar comment from my Anglo-sphere but I never once suggested to dodge telling them the truth. In fact, I’d combine telling them the truth with “that’s why we don’t talk to strangers online” whereas the quote I mentioned was about “if you’re going to allow them to talk to strangers online”. That shouldn’t be an option for kids this age. You have to do more than talk with them. You have to monitor them. You have to know what their doing. You have to accept that you still might not get throw, because they’re sneaky liars and if they want to break a rule they will. That’s what kids do. These kids at this age can also be curious about sex.

Do you have actual parental experience that counters any of this because it seems you have strong opinions on how to parent?

Also it sounds like you’re taking it personal as if I’m name calling the kids. That means you’re definitely lacking parental experience because it’s a simple fact that every kid is sneaky and lies albeit to various degrees.

I don't deny that there are certainly companies that act in bad faith (say one thing in their SOC 2, but do another), but I don't consider it to be a fault of the SOC 2 process. Just bad companies. I wouldn't be surprised said companies would take shortcuts in other places aside from SOC 2.

I don't understand why taking the time to do SOC 2 right will take time away from the "real problems." Perhaps things like asset/vendor management, access control, and maintaining an efficient security organization aren't real problems for any organization. I'm reminded of that Futurama quote "When you do things right, people won’t be sure you’ve done anything at all." Unfortunately, just as you've encountered companies that lie on their SOC 2, I've encountered companies that have strong security engineering practices, but fails at basic organization security.
You sound like you enjoy your freedom to live in squalor. Did you know that clutter leads to stress and anxiety? I teach my kid to fight for worthy causes, you're describing self-defeating pettiness.
This is pretty absurd conclusions.

A few things: reporting lag for death claims are typically 3-18 months. Covid claims are obviously still occurring in 2021. It has been widely reported that non covid related deaths during the pandemic, specifically related to heart disease and diabetes, were much higher likely due to delayed medical consultation.

I didn’t take the time to read more of who this is but I question their understanding of how financials for life insurance work. “$6 billion increase in expenses is hard to weather.” Actually, no, it’s called reserves and you are statutorily required to hold them.

This seems like a puff piece of intellectual dishonesty to push an unsubstantiated claim that the covid vaccine is causing deaths, and there is some sort of conspiracy around it.
You have to ban them _and_ buy them back at the same time. You make them illegal to have, then you compensate people for the economic value of the property they now need to surrender for destruction.

That is in fact how buyback schemes work in countries that aren't totally irrational about guns.
Especially for a state with such massive budget surplus.
The matrix protocol is an open protocol where anyone can build on. You using the matrix protocol is the you using http. So your slowness equates to the server you are communicating with.
Note: Yes, the protocol has issues when you are joining larger rooms. But for WhatsApp scale (max 256 users in a group) matrix works pretty well.
I'm good. I'll take some dull and mundane times for a change.
Sorry, but why would a complete ban on citizens owning guns, unless for very special cases not severely curb gun violence?

You can go look at primary sources. Nippon Kaigi I’d a nationalist organization, plain and simple. It’s public record he’s in it. Moritomo Gakuen as well.

What source of info would you believe in summarizing Shinzo Abe’s policy? The Economist? Basically any in depth coverage of Abe would go into this (not to judge but to state the current political conditions in Japan) so it’s findable
Controversial, certainly. Deserving of death? Not even close.
But on the other hand, you have the ability to launder money to your heart’s delight, or resign from work by staying and building a new cabinet. Win some lose some!

Of course, security issues still can arise, and sometimes you have to skip the official repositories to find what you need, but still much better than always downloading random binaries from the web.

Wayland either lingers in the background indefinitely, or it gets “pushed” in a good-enough state, “forcing” misbehaving apps to fix themselves.

New Vector (the company behind Element) is building tools on the matrix protocol. And making a business out of it. Which is good. It shows the world tools that can be built on the matrix protocol. More people get involved and newer tools emerge.

Japan has 9 cases of gun deaths, the US had 35,000. You’d almost think it has an effect.
>”and really dried up the supply, sure, you might still be able to buy an assault rifle from the criminal underworld.”

Might still? It would kick the underground firearm economy into overdrive. It’s also the case that the United States has a mind boggling amount of guns, more than any forced confiscation program could hope to put a noticeable dent into. “I lost my gun in a boating accident” is already a meme in gun culture. The black market would be well supplied.

The point is the several hundreds of millions of existing Apple customers who own an iPhone 8 or newer are going to get Lockdown Mode in the next version of iOS for those "who may be at risk of highly targeted cyberattacks from private companies developing state-sponsored mercenary spyware" at no cost.

While it's true that very few iPhone users should ever need to activate this feature for the described use case, Apple has already indicated there will be more features added in the future where this could change.

There are likely additional use cases where an iPhone user may want to activate Lockdown Mode, such as traveling to an authoritarian country.

This article makes the argument that Lockdown Mode could benefit iPhone users who never activate it. [1]

I'd argue that because gun crime in Japan is so low that the security required to prevent this sort of attack has not been properly prepared.
As numerous news services are reporting (e.g., the account I heard a minute ago on BBC World Service, also The Guardian, BBC's website, NY Times), as well as numerous comments in this thread, it's noted that "cardiac arrest" is often used to describe a patient/victim who has not yet been officially declared dead, but would be very likely to not be in a recoverable condition.
