Not really. It's more US thing where a license can try to forbid Reverse Engineering, and you end up with things like clean room RE based on supreme court case.

Meanwhile for example in Poland (EU member), it's illegal to forbid reverse engineering - any claim in a contract, license or not, that forbids such is null & void. Because the copyright law has a paragraph about how "reverse engineering is a right of everyone." - the only thing is that you can't just recompile reversed code and claim it's yours (that would be copyright violation).
you best bet of doing that is spinning off your own company. I unfortunately cannot afford to do that.

Edit2: Opening paragraphs:

> The West continues to put pressure on Russia to stop the construction of the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline - and the most important event in this chain was the Polish military provocations. Can opponents of the gas pipeline resort to real military operations against Nord Stream 2 - and if so, what should Russia counter this with?

> Recall that in early April 2021, the situation around the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline seriously escalated. A significant number of civilian ships and warships (mostly Polish), as well as submarines, made dangerous maneuvers around the pipeline construction vessel Fortuna. Polish military aircraft flew around and over the construction site.

Later:

> Under such conditions, the most likely means to attack the pipeline is the so-called mine destroyer - a disposable uninhabited underwater vehicle (UUV), controlled from a surface ship via a fiber-optic cable, having its own television camera and a simple sonar. Such devices are in service with foreign fleets in huge quantities. The device carries an explosive charge on board, the remote detonation of which destroys the mine.
film trailers (at the cinema), properties in the window of an estate agent, online marketplace listings, there are even times that people will go out of their way to watch TV adverts, like at halftime in the superbowl, or if there’s a particularly funny or artfully made* edition. these are exceptions and not the rule, of course, but there are times when people want products marketed to them.

the problem is that 99% of adverts are as you say interruptions, pestering you to buy something you don’t need

If I was going to work in that sector I would kind of assume that any delightful surprises or exciting new people I met outside of work had strings attached for at least the first year or two.
Yea I was specifically thinking the feds due to them being a large bureaucracy. No doubt the local cops have done it.
> Hasn’t the entire amyloid theory been coming under a huge amount of scrutiny

Yes.

> recently

I'm using Derek Lowe as my litmus test for how the field reacts, and he's been leaning against it since around 2015-ish. So "recently" might not be all that recent.

> for being almost a mafia-like cabal of somewhat questionable science?

Uh, what?

It recently came out that one of the papers in Alzheimer's research was faked. However, the importance of that faking on the field is actually relatively little: what it purported to establish was a direct causative link between a single amyloid precursor and memory decline--which was already the prevailing theory. As Derek Lowe describes it (https://www.science.org/content/blog-post/faked-beta-amyloid...):

> I could be wrong about this, but from this vantage point the original Lesné paper and its numerous follow-ups have largely just given people in the field something to point at when asked about the evidence for amyloid oligomers directly affecting memory. I’m not sure how many groups tried to replicate the findings, although (as just mentioned) when people did it looks like they indeed couldn’t find the 56 oligomer. And judging from the number of faked Westerns, that’s probably because it doesn’t exist in the first place. But my impression is that a lot of labs that were interested in the general idea of beta-amyloid oligomers just took the earlier papers as validation for that interest, and kept on doing their own research into the area without really jumping directly onto the 56 story itself. The bewildering nature of the amyloid-oligomer situation in live cells has given everyone plenty of opportunities for that! The expressions in the literature about the failure to find 56 (as in the Selkoe lab’s papers) did not de-validate the general idea for anyone - indeed, Selkoe’s lab has been working on amyloid oligomers the whole time and continues to do so. Just not Lesné’s oligomer.

In other words, amyloid hypothesis was prevailing before the paper anyways, it would have remained prevailing without the paper, and the paper itself never appears to have directly inspired actual clinical work on any of the failing drugs. It's hard to believe that the field would have abandoned amyloid hypothesis without the failure: there are many other reasons to believe the amyloid hypothesis, and the main reason to not believe it is only because clearing amyloid hasn't improved Alzheimer's in actual drug candidates*.

Lol, I like his other response to someone praising his prediction abilities:

Seems like someone at Apple wanted him gone for a long time and this was a perfect opportunity to use as a “reason” for being fired.

If the powers that he wanted him to stay, then this would have been an Official Apology with The Most Sincere Words, a Commitment to Do Better, and then business as usual. IMO, what he said was immaterial and is distracting. I don’t believe he was fired for saying this, even if he’s a public leader that is always representing Apple.
I want to see a movie where a major criminal organization is completely overrun by undercover agents of various governments/agencies, but none of them know it so they keep the organization running for fear of being found out. The true criminals have long since retired.
If it diminished the total value, then why did it happen? Other comments here seems to suggest it happens because it increases the total value.
If you look into the source code you'll find a link to adventurega.me/bootstrap/ where it was supposedly cloned from through HTTrack. This redirects to a Typeform though asking things like current living situation in Germany and German-Russian relations. I don't get it.
I'm not sure but I wonder if it happens when you do the macos install / recovery mode where it does repeated reboots.
Good. This weird glam design trend I have been noticing is gross
I can't tell one way or the other if people have forgotten that SESTA/FOSTA passed in 2018.

All of this is consequence of that law working as intended (not as described; it's supposed to stop human trafficking, but those supporting it made no bones about their position that if it chilled all online pornographic content, they didn't care).

All of these companies pivoted hard because hosting previously-legal content may now be a federal crime, and nobody wants to get dragged through the mud of that legal case. Until and unless that changes, this is the new status quo in the United States (and therefore, much of the Internet).

Matt on Tumblr seems to have missed that even if a company does all the things on his list, their owners could still end up in prison if they are aware that any pornography on their sites was "facilitating sex trafficking," which is an extremely broad category (is someone using racy pictures as advertisement for face-to-face meetups? Oops, go to jail; Section 230 protections were specifically stripped out for that case and if it violates state law in the state you're operating in, the state the poster is in, or the state the viewer is in, you're now liable as the site operator!).
I honestly get pretty confused by these websites, usually I have to use ctrl+f to find the content, but often I fail to find what I'm looking for.
That sounds interesting - could you please clarify, what you mean with taking the ownership from a single host and why do you think it would help? Thank you!

Going by some reply to this post, looks like it.
When you make an actual record you cut an acetate of each side on a record cutting lathe, which this product is a toy miniature version of.

Each acetate looks like a one-sided vinyl record only bigger (it's got margin around the edge). You can take that to a club and play it, but normally you take the pair to a pressing plant. They make a metal mould of each one and use them to press the vinyl records.

When I was a teenager in 1979 my band made a single on our own indie label. We got to go to see the legendary cutting engineer Porky in London near Oxford Circus and watched him cut the pair of acetates. Like all his work he scratched "A Porky prime cut" into the run out area.

That's a great example that reminds me of another one: there was nothing new about Bitcoin conceptually, it was all concepts we already had just in a new combination. IRC, Hashing, Proof of Work, Distributed Consensus, Difficulty algorithms, you name it. Aside from Base58 there wasn't much original other than the combination of those elements.

Do you recall a joke you had December 17 at 10:00 in the morning?

I don't recall a joke I had last fucking Tuesday, Paul.

Go... go ahead, Nicole.

"I have rich cars, play golf and fondle big-breasted women, but I take weekends and major holidays off."

Oh, I get it.

Are you aware there's an active group of people out there who believe this is a real thing?

Believe wh-what's a real thing?

That you fondle big-breasted women.

(laughing)

Yeah, not funny.

Yeah?

Wh-Wh-Wh...

What?

Yeah, woke websites are all over it. They're going bananas. They're going berserk. Reddit. I mean, I don't know the names of them all.

Jesus, I can't believe you used that word.

"breasted"?

No. "women". It's... charged.

We have our best team at reputation management flooding... flooding the search engines in the hopes this thing doesn't go mainstream. I'm sorry. You got to go.

Paul... it was just a joke. One joke.

Wasn't funny.

It wasn't real.

I mean, I wish this didn't happen. I really do, but this idea is out there, and these people believe it, and they're not going away.

What people?

Sorry?

What people believe I fondle big-breasted women? What fucking people?!

>why would you pay for an online streaming game service when you already own consoles or a robust PC?

Lots of reasons come to mind, but the biggest ones for me were portability (playing my games at max settings while traveling, at friends' houses, at work, at coffee shops, etc), the ability to play on whatever device I wanted (usually laptop or TV depending on the game when at home, but I also played a lot on phone/tablet while travelling), and to a lesser extent some smaller perks like using less battery life / hard drive space / time updating / etc than the native alternative.

In other words, if I have the choice between playing the same game on my desktop (strictly in my office) or on the couch (or wherever else I want to be), I'm always going to pick the latter.

I wonder if Google even realises, like at Pichai level, how much this hurts them. I’m fairly sure it’s at least one important piece as to why GCP is struggling to gain market share. Who in their right mind would depend on a Google product for critical business functions at this point.
This is true. To be honest I was only considering the benefits to the client - if there are 10m client's polling this could mean a lot of server resources for Stripe.

But an indexed last_update_ts could take less than 1ms to query, HTTP connections are kept alive, meaning the server handling the poll is still not using a huge amount of resources.

I think you both have a good point. I guess it depends on what your relationship you have with food. Do you prefer your shopping experience to be predictable and efficient or do you like to discover something new and exciting.

Realistically, most people who browse the web don't care too much about website design and just want something reasonably functional that's not too ugly.
This is a good point, but it doesn't invalidate the premise. The first sites to use bootstrap and this particular brochure template truly stood out. And today, with everyone using it, it still works okay, well enough to be a bona fide standard, but it of course doesn't work nearly as well as it did for those early adopters.

What I'm saying is, the next big thing, for marketing in particular, may very well be derided in this same "Hey look..." manner after it takes off in popularity, but the pioneers of that next big thing are going to reap serious profits.
I don't see how this is bad in the consumer's perepctive. Those that didn't use it lose or gain nothing. Those that did use it get their refunds. They don't care about the dev side.I don't think it's bad behavior to shut down something no one watns.

The exec communication with the devs is unfortunate, but a separate matter.

Your desktop that you're using to post this is likely using GPU acceleration to composite your windows. Not having GPU acceleration for graphics is a killer with today's HiDPI displays. The CPU generally can't keep up, and even when it technically can it is extremely power inefficient.
>Like you couldn't possibly dynamically aim to accommodate that.

Yes, you can.

Not doing so would result in dramatically reduced accuracy.

That's just windage 101.

The horizontal variation due to even slight wind is massive at this distance and would dwarf all other factors. Failing to adjust for this on a per shot basis would result in dramatically reduced accuracy.
I never understood why people were comfortable connecting these Chinese-made and backed black boxes into their Internet and also having them broadcast on wireless networks. Now it appears they want to mimic telecom networks as well. I am fine with this, but you need regulatory agencies actually hiring people checking the process and they should be able to be made out or standardized parts

Come on now... Do you really think some of the pr0n out there was consented upon by all parties?

Let's be real. Even the largest pr0n sites have had a shit ton of cases come to surface, which should've put them out of business for good. And yes, some of it is about sex slavery.

The pr0n industry is all rotten. Great to see legit, humane alternatives gaining traction, don't get me wrong. But, most of it, is just pure misery.

Indoor air quality can be greatly affected by all kinds of things in your home, from the building materials to the paints, coverings, veneers, veneer glues, fabrics, etc. etc. etc.

So in other words, while your outside air may be quite good such that it doesn't negatively affect your indoor air quality, that does not at all suggest that your indoor air quality will be good.

I hold the record for "unsafe shutdowns."

One reason, is that I am constantly using Xcode, which is a bug farm, and SourceSafe used to crash like crazy.

Also, some of the apps I'm developing don't start off, perfect. I spend a lot of time crashing.

The advent of the M1 seems to have ushered in a new threading system. The threads act weird, now (look at how long it takes to resolve your stack, on a breakpoint). I'm pretty sure it really doesn't like crashes.

And I stopped playing Borderlands 3, because it liked to crash hard.

It sounds like the question they still need to answer is if this effect continues indefinitely, or if it is a one time effect. Across a 10 year disease progression this could slow it down by 2.5 years. I might make that trade off, at least in the early stages of the disease. Not sure I would want to slow things down in the later stages though. At that point just get it over with.

It is also not clear from the press release what the response distribution looks like. If some people respond really well and others do not (but it averages out to 27%), maybe Alzheimers treatment starts to look a bit more like cancer. Where you try a few things and hope something sticks. My hunch is that is probably where we are headed, but I am not an expert in this stuff.
