I’m not sure why someone of facebook’s scale would want JIT instead of AOT. That’s a lot of servers all JITing the same thing that could be done once at build time.
I see absolutely nothing wrong or big-brother about such a system if the data stays on premises only until you leave (or maybe until the end of the day to give you in-and-out pricing privileges).

On the other hand, if the data is being sold to a data aggregator that is troubling. We see lots of surprising things like this, for example weather apps selling your location data.

This is why we need better data protection rights. GDPR has a lot of good ideas (though implementation was painful). CCPA should be strengthened.

Ideally we’d get a federal law limiting data collection without consent. (The optimist in me thinks this could be bipartisan.)
Doesn’t have to be a mistake. Twitter knows that people who used to work for Twitter now work for Meta. Seems perfectly fine to me.
I can't re-register the same username because it already exists. And I can't log into that username because I didn't receive the confirmation email. Alternatively, I tried to do a password reset but have not received an email for that either.
I worked on a patent search that was way better than the USPTO search and it was a lot of work.

> An example of "corporate opinion" off the top of my head: Facebook is in favour of advertising.

How is Facebook saying "we are in favour of advertising" an opinion?

How is "I like rain" is different and not an opinion? You told me "I like rain" is "a factual statement derived from your opinion" and not an opinion and then used that to strawman my argument.

Where I stand "I am in favour of advertising" is the exact same format and is not an opinion from YOUR definition. How are they different?

Not to defend Meta, but this isn't true. Meta is embracing the fediverse protocol with Threads.
An ultimate win must be "likely" to prevail in a PI, and this judge said it was. "Likely" and "probable" are synonyms".[1] Apparently some courts do apply an relaxed standard in First Amendment cases of "reasonably likely"[2], but that's not clearly right and it's also not a quibble over whether "likely" is "probable" (which it is).

Great news for tech workers imo.

Part of the tech labor market downturn has been driven by skepticism over the costs: if Twitter can slash its workforce and keep running just fine, why can’t other companies?

Well, Threads swooping in to rapidly drain Twitter’s market share might change that reasoning.
Yeah, if anything Meta could countersue threads.com for infringing on their copyright. The original Threads app launched years ago.

Glad to hear you found the thread interesting.

Kioma does provide an Isofix detachable base, but in the U.S. it is called Latch. Same thing, different name. All U.S. infant child restraint systems (CRS) must either have Latch attachments permanently to the CRS or must provide a separate detachable Latch base.

So we do provide a Latch base. We don't do a base load-leg though, because there are some cool things done with rotation to dissipate energy :) This is one case where the EU regs specified an implementation rather than a result. Otherwise the EU (r129) regs are very well written.
In some people's view, this is not an issue to pussyfoot around over. The states trying to criminalize personal healthcare decisions certainly aren't.

What a dystopian nightmare it would be to be a single mother barely above the poverty line and somehow get time off work and scrape together the cash for a trip several states away to get an abortion, only to wind up in prison for 10 years because mass data collection and dissemination is standard procedure for law enforcement and no one thought to protect the rights and privacy of pregnant women from out of state.

I have to consciously remind myself that it's almost always because they don't know how to format a storage device, not because the cards are faulty out of the box.

The product is (deceptively) simple but the sheer scale makes it a very complex system.
Maybe, but in that case the writer should just state it as a fact rather that saying that their client knows something.

Whether Twitter knows that employees previously worked for Twitter (etc.) should not have any bearing on Meta’s liability; whether Meta knew this or not absolutely has an impact on liability.

The fact that the next sentence refers to Meta’s knowledge of the the facts in the preceding sentence seems to justify my reading.

If someone is crawling your content, that's usually bad behavior.

If a user signs up somewhere else, and wants their data to be ported over, there is very little to legitimately complain about. Even more so when the scraping is just contact data for that user, because that's very little server load.

Go away with this "steal their lunch" stuff. It should be legally mandated that users can transfer contacts between services.

Also blocking API access is very different from blocking user-posted links.
I used BeOS, and I use Haiku.

I reviewed BeOS in 2000:

Haiku is lovely, but it is considerably bigger and slower than BeOS was. It's also vastly more feature-complete and has 10x the apps, but it's not as miraculous in performance terms, not by a long chalk.

> And that’s before we explore things like focused beam microphones

Let's drop that. Instead, let's remember that 20 years ago there was not an expectation that someone would be carrying a microphone and camera on them. It was also less likely that one could do so without you noticing. Not to mention the quality of those devices was exceptionally lower, making identification harder and requiring you to be in much closer proximity. Take that back just another decade and a camera needed to sit on your shoulder, making you easily identifiable.

A problem with a lot of these conversations is that they're using modern technologies and notions in reference to laws that were written well before these things. There is a big difference between a very small number of easily identifiable people who require large resources to record the public, doing so in low resolution, and the modern notion of trivially doing so, and in high definition. Not to mention the ease/cost of storage, ability to search, and share that we have today. The Overton Window has shifted so much that we're completely forgetting the landscape differences.

The fun of building new sets off instructions is the satisfying-ness. You know the instructions are correct, that no pieces are missing and all pieces click together satisfyingly into the result, that looks and feels nice. Each click is satisfying.

I guess I should put it another way. Sure it’s a valid theory, but I think asserting it as borderline self evident/a big enough deal that it primarily explains the profanity in repos is another matter entirely. I could also assert 5 other valid theories I’m sure. Doesn’t mean they’re all accurate or worth weighing.

So yeah, I’m just curious how those of you who responded to me are quantifying this.

Because despite the truth in the moment, as a republic we as people still need to believe that our actions are justified to continue our policies, and you don’t have to be lied to believe it, even if you personally end up on the side that it isn’t justified. We still want the approval of foreign nations, even if we’re comfortable with a less than 100% approval rating. Our interests do include human life, even if they’re sailing under a foreign flag on a civilian ship. We would prefer civilian ships and not have to arm themselves to the teeth ready for an adventurous voyage to get across the water without being harassed by hostile actors. In other words, policing actions are a deterrent to greater hostilities.

Whose responsibility is it to prove these claims? Do our courts put the burden on the accuser or the accused to prove these? I hope Twitter has to spend the money upfront and come up with proof rather than just filing a frivolous lawsuit and making the other party spend.
There’s zero seeded content in threads and it would be stupid of meta to do so. They just needed to pay some influencers to get higher quality content cheaper then scraping it all.
That's whataboutism. Both of these things are abhorrent and should be punished.
When is the Elon/Zucc fight happening, anyways?
Depends on the school. My program requires you have an advisor before our version of quals. Our exam was also a research presentation followed by an oral exam where you had the pleasure of doing often a painful amount of algebra on a blackboard. It was also the culture that, while your advisor could ask you questions, they rarely would unless they were helpful (maybe a softball confidence booster or simple version of another question to get you started down the right track) or leading questions for you to talk about something not in your talk. People were largely concerned about being failed by the other examiners, not their advisor at that stage.

However, we were a small department and your acceptance was predicated on at least one faculty member wanting you to join their lab. Some people moved around within their first year, but the majority stayed with the first group they joined.
I'm curious what exactly X is claiming Meta stole? The interface and interaction model is basically just social media best practices that have been evolved by numerous people and companies over the past 20-30 years. Seemingly nothing so complex that it needs to be stolen from another company. Barely any art assets. Dirt-simple interfaces.

Under-the-hood, I assume Meta was able to launch this quickly because it's largely built on existing tech.

Anyway, sounds petty and short-sighted. So. Totally on-brand!

> Posting on a blog saying that people 'SHOULD' do something

To be fair, it's not about some rando on a blog post. The HTTP response codes and their semantics are in the RFCs. And while it's true the RFCs say SHOULD and not MUST, there are also now ~30 decades of experience and expectation that a non-existent resource is more likely a 404 not 200.

Sure a server can always do what it likes but can't expect it to play well with the outside world if it goes against both convention and documentation.

Regardless of one's political orientation, most examples of "fake news" are in fact "literally true as stated". The broader question is whether we should endeavor to present the news holistically.

It is newsworthy that certain CA precincts might be unlawfully sharing license plate data, and if SacBee is significantly under-reporting the extent of the sharing -- which is the main focus of the story -- in favor of their interpretation of the sharing, that is editorializing.

What is the actual harm here?

If you don't pay for the property, and you refuse to work out an agreement with the owner, they are entitled to come get their property. How is there additional harm, at this point, by using ALPRs to find the (effectively) stolen property?

It's not as if these things happen suddenly, either. There's months of effort by the lender to try to get you back on track. Repossession comes with risk, and it always comes with a fee. No one is eager to do this.
I2P has been designed with "hidden services" in mind. AlphaBay, which until a few months ago was the most modern and progressive dark web market had fully moved to I2P. Stating that they saw no future in Tor, as the Tor Project refused to address major design issues even though they have heaps of money.

So far using i2p has been very nice to use and the tools are well developed. I run a node myself. The way i2p works is very interesting. Some services like Dread which provide i2p access have only been accessible via i2p in recent times due to the load on tor.

We'll have to see how i2p holds up when it inevitably takes over Tor and becomes a target of ddos itself.

> Vulkan and OpenGL both already support mesh shaders, which is a compute-oriented alternative to the traditional rasterization pipeline.

Mesh shaders are a step in the right direction, but they are still embedded in all that unnecessary Vulkan fluff. I would want these things in CUDA because it does the opposite approach of Vulkan - it makes the common things easy, and the hard/powerful things optional. Just let me draw things directly in CUDA, and maybe give access to the hardware rasterizer via a CUDA call.

If ANYONE other than Meta was behind threads.net, I would consider your theory.

But this is Meta, millions of people will join regardless. The content will generate itself. There is no need for bootstrapping with stolen content, nor any insight to gain from analyzing twitter's content patterns.

And if they were faced with a slow start, a tiny banner on instagram or facebook would convert hundreds of millions of users in a matter of days.
I was confused by that, too. But I think there are two classes here: The "Below Level 1" group, that is capable of deleting emails, and the "Can't Use Computer" group, that is unable to do so. The latter group contained 26% of all participants.

What I drive are owned by trusts and LLCs, so on paper they are not connected to my driver license nor to me.

If plates reduce theft, let the insurance companies and manufacturers work that out.

Twitter doesn't have a single trade secret or important technology worth stealing. Replicating it is a social problem, not a technical one.
I have a small agency and a product in a niche market and even there big consulting and IT services companies are starting spin offs to address these niches, and even bidding at a loss (especially when you take into account pre sales investments) to displace remaining niche actors like us.
