> The U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) on Thursday issued an order that could bar Apple (AAPL.O) from importing its Apple Watches after finding the devices violate medical technology company Masimo's (MASI.O) patent rights.

...

> President Joe Biden's administration will have 60 days to decide whether to veto the import ban based on policy concerns before it goes into effect. Presidents have rarely vetoed bans in the past.

I wasn't aware that the president has the power to veto bans of products based on patent infringement. I don't see anything about it in the Wikipedia article for U.S. patent law[1] either. Anyone have any idea where this power comes from, and when it has been used in the past? I'm kind of surprised that this is a thing, and I'm curious about whether a veto is "permanent" or for a set length of time; I'd expect that this sort of thing couldn't be used to avoid enforcing a patent indefinitely, although maybe it just "expires" if another president decides not to continue "vetoing" it.

I can't understand how is Israel with such an approach not creating more Hamas recruits.
You can accuse people of daydreaming of Utopia, and you might be right. But honestly? The future you are painting? That's doom dreaming. With the exception of global warming, whose effects can be so big we cannot really predict, 100 years from now, worst case scenario, western countries look more like Brazil. Big wealth inequality, walls and eletric fences around condos, but no sniper towers.

And if automation improves enough that there is no more labor market? I don't think anybody has a good idea what society would come after that. If you asked someone in medieval Europe what they would think would happen with the introduction of guns, they would probably say that the noble class (which was the martial class, that trained for war) would just use it to oppress the peasantry more. Nobody would guess that their introduction would lead to the complete end of the idea of a noble class.
I am still not sure that this is not a very foul compromise. It remains to be seen. For example age verification for certain site with adult content.

This is a typical strategy and people fall for it every time because they have not reflected on their own position.

This isn't a win for democracy at all, it is still pushed top down by the EU. They still push for unique internet IDs, even if they say they protect anonymous access for now.
Toxicological analysis is a very respectable endeavor, it's just the wrong moniker when analyzing something that's not actually toxic.

Kind of like "intoxication" you can't truly be intoxicated by something that's not toxic.

> Have you noticed that MS mostly stopped using EEE,

No, I haven't. Notice that MS now loves Linux... provided you run it on Azure or as a component of Windows (WSL). They adopted Chrome...'s rendering engine and then abused their desktop OS market share to shove the result down people's throats. They don't have the leverage they once enjoyed, but the approach didn't change, at least not in general.
Demanding a commitment and timeline to drop their core business is asinine. BP's responsibility is to increase profits for shareholders, not save the planet. And the comparison to tobacco is nonsense. Widely available and affordable energy has increased the material well-being of more people than perhaps any other industry, while tobacco offers a cheap high.

The climate issue only gets solved by innovation. There is no reasonable degree to which we can artificially restrict emissions to have a meaningful impact. All that does is make people poorer and further increase incentives to offshore manufacturing to where the energy is cheapest and dirtiest.
Carta CEO Henry Ward fuels negative news cycle with unorthodox customer email
> As soon as you're using the internet, you're disclosing an IP address, which is PII

Yes it's PII which of course is why no one who does Telemetry in a GDPR compliant way would store the IP address. The fact that it's "sent" (in order to send anything at all over http) isn't relevant. Only what's stored, for what reason, and for how long.

> If you add anything to link two subsequent telemetry reports together, that thing is PII (e.g. a hash or a uuid)

Again, no. PII is only information about physical people. Unless the data becomes enough to identify a person (in itself or together with other data), the data is not PII. Having a browser history associated to a random guid might be PII (because the browser history might pinpoint the user, not the guid!). But having a random guid associated to say "has run VS code 12 times this year" is not.
I disagree, the underlying bias a person has is irrelevant if they can prove to others the correctness of what they are saying. You are wanting to put people in boxes and stereotype as if they're not capable of compensating for bias or understanding others' perspective.

If it is a subjective comment and personal experience is relevant, the commenter can disclose that detail there and then. However, where fact or analysis of information is involved, it is the correctness and quality of what is said that matters not who said it.

Every country claims its name exists, not sure what you mean. Whether or not it was accepted as a successor state is not that important for ICANN. There's a country called Yugoslavia consisting of parts of another previous Yugoslavia, and they're supposed to cancel the .yu domain and issue it a new domain called .foo? Seems really not practical.
> Is YouTube going to fire its CEO if I make an allegation against him/her? How is me doing that any different than Russell’s current situation?

I really do get what you're saying, but you making an accusation against youtube's CEO would be very different from Russell’s current situation

For the comparison to work your accusation would need to be only one of several similar allegations, made by multiple people, with varying degrees of evidence, covering a span of many years. Bonus points if you and the other accusers had a Channel 4 documentary released about your accusations.
Very cool, thanks for the info. I did not mean to say that MAME were the first trying to do exact hardware emulation for synths, just that emulating hardware means a higher workload for the computer. As a note, I see that this project has created its own CPU benchmarks to make sure you can confidently run the emulations with acceptable results so while perhaps their emulation code is more efficient than MAME's --who knows-- the difficulty remains the same.

Communications of the ACM will still be printed. The journals and transactions are a compendium of research papers that are too numerous for anyone to read in their entirety. Moreover, you can still print the ones that you’re interested in. This change is strictly better.
You can already do that in a Tesla. Or pretty much any car in that price category. These days the understanding and responsiveness could be described as “pretty good”. But still nobody uses it because as long as you are able-bodied, voice control is a shitty interface. It requires you to keep context in your head of what the machine is thinking about (instead of whatever conversation you were already having). It requires you to interrupt any conversation you were currently having. It requires the system to give asynchronous confirmation that it fulfilled your request after you have made the request, instead of clicking while you are turning a dial or pushing a button. Anything with fine grain controls requires a back and forth dialogue, such as the volume problem a sibling commenter described. Sure, a better text model might be more graceful at handling a statement like “my windshield looks too foggy” but that’s really a tiny marginal improvement over what we already have and nobody uses.

Second that, it is way cheaper to keep the intelligent part in the database. With electronic keys it is convenient to frequently update the permissions of the bearer because it allows for offline locks, but for tracking goods, any serial number that is long enough is more than fine.

> There is no such thing as truly anonymous. in order to send any data you need to connect to a server. at that moment you are in violatation of GDPR because you are exposing the users's IP which is protected by GDPR.

This is misinformed. There is nothing in the GDPR that relates to "exposing" or "transmitting" anything (other than transmitting further from a processor to a third party). GDPR relates to how data is stored or processed. A program can make any number of http requests, for any reason no matter how unnecessary, so long as that PII (The IP, or similar) isn't stored or otherwise processed/transmitted to a third party in a way that the GDPR concerns. The download web server logs is such a storage (which is why you these days clear those every day, or never log IP at all in them).

> Telemetry is not functionaliy and VSCode can execute it's purpose without this connection so that makes it subject to user consent requirement.

No. It's required because the telemetry data is stored whereas the IP of the update request is not. Had microsoft wanted to store every IP of everyone downloading an update, then that database of IP's/downloads would of course have been subject to the GDPR too. The data isn't less sensitive just because it was from a necessary function. Microsoft's responsibility for that data is exactly the same.

But the easiest way of doing telemetry properly and not worry about GDPR is to not store anything that is PII at all. And it's pretty easy to do so too.
Nothing is "Truly anonymous". Telemetry is usually pseudonymous. But it properly pseudonymous telemetry is normally not a privacy concern in any way. The true gripes about telemetry (there are a few valid ones) isn't about that, they are

- People getting a worse experience e.g. a slower product

- People not trusting the companies to adhere to the GDPR with the data transmitted, e.g. you might not trust the server to clear IP's from the transmission (basically the only piece of PII that can't be cleared on the client side because then the package never arrives). But if you don't trust the company to adhere to the GDPR then why would one trust their opt-out does anything? Running any kind of software basically means trust to some extent.

- People feeling cheated because of automatic or hidden opt-in

- People on paid internet connections spending money to send the telemetry.

The average American isn’t donating half of their kidneys, as the post points out. It’s entirely possible that the average American isn’t psychologically suited to do so without an extensive (and fallible) filtration process.

But beyond that: the author is not an average American, and we both know that. Most Americans don’t find themselves in the NYT, or somewhat central to a large, wealthy controversial community that’s actively imploding.
> You keep raising these logistical issues like you’re the only person who ever thought of them.

Better than to hand-wave them wouldn't you agree? Because these issues are real, hard and very limiting factors, and they don't go away by throwing money at them. And I'm pretty sure I am not the only person who keeps raising these issues.

> Serious plans involve sending hundreds of rockets every year

That would be a really neat trick.

Mars's synodic period with Earth is 780 days (about 26 months) and the resulting transfer window lasts a few weeks at most. So if you want to send even 100 rockets per year, you have to start +200 rockets within that launch window.

To put that into perspective, since 1960 there were a grand total of 50 Mars missions, that includes unsuccessful ones, which were more than half: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_missions_to_Mars Most of these missions didn't land anything on Mars, and not a single one involved landing the spaceship itself, or had even remotely the kind of payload capacity that a colonisation effort requires.

So unless someone has a workable idea for a completely new propulsion system, I'm afraid there won't be "hundreds of rockets every year".

Edit: Oh, I almost forgot, small question: How do these "hundreds of rockets per year" get back to Earth? Because, if they don't, well, that's gonna up the launch costs somewhat, wouldn't it?
> Every country claims its name exists, not sure what you mean.

Just because you claim your country has a certain name doesn't mean it does, if the rest of the international community doesn't recognise it.

> There's a country called Yugoslavia consisting of parts of another previous Yugoslavia, and they're supposed to cancel the .yu domain and issue it a new domain called .foo?

If the country calling itself Yugoslavia was recognised as the sucessor state of the prior country called Yugoslavia, then it would inherit the .yu domain. If that succession is not recognised, then it doesn't get to keep that domain and needs a new one (and even if the name is similar or the same, since it's a different country it can't have the domain which belonged to the old country). Seems reasonable to me.

We have a long waiting list for recipients, and we don't have an excess of donors to be picky with.

Why are you assuming Scott was not "able to see" the explanation you laid out, when in all likelyhood that thought has crossed his mind (he's thought about this far more than you, a commenter who speculated that in 5 minutes)?

Perhaps he thought of it, and decided saying it would be even meaner to the hospital... which frankly, I think that framing is far crueler to the hospital. Like, if they rejected him from bureaucratic incompetence as they tried to filter out people who can't consent to surgery? Fine, incompetence is bad, but fine.

If they rejected him because they could give someone with kidney failure 10 more years of good life, they thought he had a healthy kidney and could consent, but they had a personal grudge or moral judgement... That's a much more repugnant way to operate a hospital than simple incompetence. Reducing the quality of life of a potential kidney recipient for any of those reasons intentionally is far crueler than mere incompetence.

I also suspect saying anything other than the hospital's purported reason would be grounds for libel.

I haven't bothered to look at the Netcraft reports recently, but the last time I looked Microsoft had only about 30% of servers. The other 70 % were Unix/Linux.

The Internet runs on Linux mainly. Then of course most phones run Android, a Linux derivative. And Apple OSs are based on BSD, another UNIX.

Microsoft is pretty much relegated to the Desktop (as I pointed out above), and the Desktop is in decline due to the decline in numbers of PCs sold. And a lot of those PCs even, mine included, are purchased with the Windows OS which is immediately blown away and replaced with another OS, which is usually one of the Linux derivatives.

"Mass transit is the solution."

I spent most of my 45 years of age in public transport, I only had a car for a year and a half (and a total lemon, I don't miss that). Yet I say: beware of people who speak of THE solution.

For mass transit to work, population density matters. At least in the EU, there is a trend of people being priced out of capital cities to the surrounding countryside, where the population density drops to levels where providing extensive bus service becomes uneconomical. An important limitation is availability of bus drivers. People are loath to take lives of 40 strangers in their hands + rise out of their beds at 4am, and you can only pay them so much before exhausting the budget. And it is not just question of "more money". Prague, the capital of Czechia, spends about 33 per cent of its municipal budget on public transport and it still has a shortage of drivers.

Reliable self-driving, which was the original topic of this discussion, would be a huge boon to public transport. It would reduce hourly costs and address the driver shortage (which becomes especially acute in flu season etc., where too many people call in sick at the same time).

For mass transit to work better, we need to increase population density, and that means killing of the NIMBY phenomenon. Plenty of people, at least where I live, don't mind living in condos, as long as these are safe and clean. They are just priced out of cities by lack of development and the consequent soaring of prices.

Edit: interesting that this post attracted two downvotes, but no rebuttals. Is public transport such a sacred object for some?

From my personal point of view, it is a service like any other, and obviously cannot work efficiently everywhere.

My understanding is that they just wouldn't get updates, but existing drivers will keep working, and since they're open source, they should at least remain functional for some time.

But it still is a shame, Vega is not that old, and Polaris was very popular. I feel like they might be intentionally cutting them out to try to cause people who were satisfied with those to upgrade.
