Or just record and expect no one to attempt to prosecute (most likely), since it was ‘by accident’ (no mens rea).

Generally recording phone calls is only a crime if there is an expectation of privacy, which would also be hard to say existed on a group phone call or video chat, especially if one of the parties knew for sure it could be recorded (and consented to it by continuing to work for the company).

Federal law would make it legal to record such a call, for instance.

California might make it illegal, might not - all the parties would have to expect it to be a non confidential call.

Which a group call? Hard to argue that’s confidential.

Calling a random person in a company, where you don’t know if it is being recorded or not? Ehhhh.

Also, in California there is an exemption to these recording laws - you can use illegal recordings to defend yourself against perjury, or in the prosecution/defense of certain heinous crimes like extortion, kidnapping, murder, etc. (633.5 CPC) [https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/codes_displaySectio....]

It’s a shame Justia doesn’t link to that, as it’s quite important in some situations.

[https://www.justia.com/50-state-surveys/recording-phone-call...]

“Under California law, it is a crime punishable by fine and/or imprisonment to record a confidential conversation without the consent of all parties, or without a notification of the recording to the parties via an audible beep at specific intervals. The California Supreme Court has defined a confidential conversation as one in which the parties have a reasonable expectation that no one is listening in or eavesdropping. In addition to criminal penalties, illegal recording can also give rise to civil damages.

CA Penal Code § 632 (definition & penalty), § 637.2 (civil damages), Flanagan v. Flanagan, 41 P.3d 575 (Cal. 2002), Cal. Pub. Util. Code Gen. Order 107-B(II)(A)”
If China tried to land troops in Gaza I imagine they absolutely would.
This was the most obvious characteristic about all this new legislation and I haven’t seen nearly enough chatter about it. It’s analogous, in my opinion, to the Star Wars prequels where all the senators praised the formation of the empire to thunderous applause.
I think this is a useful anecdote because it really underscores that the problem is distractions.

Fluffy and weak article that attempts to shame leadership.

* Misleads the reader to think inaccurately cynically, and actually dumbs-down the reader.

Unanswered questions:

- How many Tech layoffs are from Public (stock market) companies vs Private? The article waffles, talks about small and large companies, while not providing profitability measurements for small companies, only the gross word, "RALLY".

- Which sectors are impacted?

- Are Tech layoffs due to a particular set of causes?

The article's title correlates RALLY with LAYOFF ("Don’t tell that to the bosses that they're financially successful.]" -from the article).

>>> security is always an afterthought.

Not everywhere.

Some places take security seriously. Banks do not fuck around on this front.

Some places security is where they shove all the diversity hires. It's not an afterthought it's a dark corner no one cares about.

Other places have security as theater. I know of quite a few companies who have security tools implemented just to have someone to blame when the fuck up happens. XXX was our provider, were sorry sue them, were going to!

The reality is that the decision makers heard what they should do, and made a choice, not understanding the risk. In that regard some of them are getting better (see theater), and making it worse.
You probably want kWh_e (electric) instead of kWh_t (thermal), and probably should include the weight of the engine/transmission. Diesel is better still, but not quite the same gap.
They're probably over 50% of AAA games. Freakin' everything is Unreal Engine these days.
Different but yes:

Under the standard EULA, Unreal Engine is free to use for learning, and for developing internal projects; it also enables you to distribute many commercial projects without paying any fees to Epic Games, including custom projects delivered to clients, linear content (such as films and television shows) and any product that earns no revenue or whose revenue falls below the royalty threshold. A 5% royalty is due only if you are distributing an off-the-shelf product that incorporates Unreal Engine code (such as a game) and the lifetime gross revenue from that product exceeds $1 million USD; in this case, the first $1 million remains royalty-exempt.

A bit of a strange take considering every one of your points applies much more to Palestine than Israel.

>I was in my 20s and remember the feeling in the air after Al Qaeda members hijacked commercial planes and flew them into WTC in 2001. Fear, Anger, A bit of revenge

Yeah the people in Gaza feel that pretty much every day

>Many of Americans, including soviet immigrants, enlisted in the army driven by that feeling.

They also feel this, which leads to them joining Hamas and is part of the reason there are normal Palestinians who support Hamas. Terrorists don't come out of no where.

>Israelis lost significantly more of their population percentage-wise during October 7 attack perpetrated by the official government of Gaza AND as we know now, some Gazan civilians.

Yeah I mean again just flip that and the people in Gaza experience that at a much higher rate

>With that in mind, its fairly simple for me to empathize with the Israeli public who are angry at the death of their fellow citizens and want Hamas to be punished.

Same but I also empathize with all the Palestinians just trying to live their lives in an open air prison and want revenge. I think both Hamas and Israel have genocidal intent, but one has much more power and is actually carrying it out right now.
I had this issue, presumably because I ran a Debian userspace below Android with a file on the sdcard as filesystem. Every ~3 years, the sdcard would just drop dead. (Other people seemed to upgrade faster than every 3y or don't use sdcards at all, so idk if it was just me.)

It hasn't happened anymore recently, and I feel like there's more awareness/support for this type of usage pattern with the higher-end sdcards that are somewhat recent (like, introduced in the last ~8 years, so after the lifespan of an old cheap sdcard, I'm still on my first new-style one and I'm not yet sure it's not randomness that keeps it alive)
That's why distros ask you to provide just the sources and we'll do the packaging work for you. The upstream developers shouldn't need to provide packages for every distro. (Of course you can help us downstream packagers by not having insane build requirements, using semantic versioning, not breaking stuff randomly etc).
And honestly the file cabinet metaphor probably doesn't go over very well either because that doesn't mostly apply today either.

The US, under whichever administration, is in a very difficult position here. If the US stops all support immediately, this could be the end of Israel. Would that be just? I see a president carefully dancing on the thin line of supporting the Israel state while using the US leverage to stop the war (latest example: sending the CIA chief to the negotiating table). But this needs to be done without enabling Israel's biggest adversaries that support a Jihad against the people of Israel.
Nobody's perfect, but I can't remember Apple ever shipping updates that brick their phones in two consecutive quarters.

At least Apple releases the images you need to restore your phone to a bootable state if something goes wrong during an update.

Do you have trouble understanding intonated sentences in English too? You can change the meaning of this question pretty significantly by placing a rising intonation on each word

Read my other comments. You'll find I'm already talking about this!

Ok, so it's totally not a rising intonation to me! Wherever you have the _x_, it's emphasis. "Rising" is about the most confusing way to describe it, from my point of view as a layperson.

Also, as I point out elsewhere, the way you are talking about "intonated" sentences is more akin to an accompanying soundtrack, where there's a "stinger" played at the moment something significant is said. It's not a part of the vowel!

EDIT: Okay, I've been working this out saying it to my self. There's nothing "rising" in "you" when I say "_You_ stole the pen?" The volume doesn't rise through the word. The pitch doesn't rise through the word. The only thing that rises in the whole sentence is the pitch approaching the last part of the sentence to indicate a question.

If "rising" is the actual terminology, then that's the most misleading terminology I can think of!

Check out replit. They implement a browser-based IDE. I could be mistaken, but I don't think it's really focused on tutorials/teaching.

What comes to mind immediately is how to use the tooling that usually comes with an IDE. If you could add tutorial on using the debugger and git tooling that comes with popular IDE's like VSCode, I think that would be helpful for people looking to make the jump from coding on the side to doing it professionally.
On that respect, we agree.
My mistake!

Thanks for making me aware of the term source-available and the BSL.

> Just don't call those types of licenses "open source". They aren't. Those who attempt to free-ride on the goodwill..

Well, to be honest, organisations can't lay claim to general language concepts.

Many many people use "open source" to just mean "source openly accesible", and use "permissive source" for stuff licensed with GPL/BSD/Apache etc.

I believe parent was referring to the Uyghur genocide[1] not the Territorial disputes in the South China Sea[2].

The line of thinking is that if Israel is subject to international courts/laws regarding genocide for its action, then China will be too. China's participation in judging Israel opens itself to the same judgement.

It's short-sighted nonsense that undocumented immigrants can't get SSNs. They should be issued SSNs and pay taxes as usual. They are working, and the IRS should be collecting taxes, nothing more, nothing less. If they aren't paying taxes, someone else has to make up the difference.

Likewise I want them to get licenses if they can pass the driving laws test, and should be able to get insurance. I don't want to be hit (or hit and run) by an uninsured driver.

They and their kids should be getting the same vaccines someone with a legal right to live here does, under the same terms. This is basic public health that helps everybody.

This is 100% orthogonal to whether ICE should be pursuing and deporting this or that person. They current system makes the rest of us less safe -- and that's not even getting into the massive impingement on the human rights of law abiding folks due to the misincented immigration (and other) laws and their enforcement).
> Alternately, you could say neither has any power, and both provide value. The government provides value by funding public infrastructure, promoting economic development, protecting citizens from foreign invasion, and so on. If citizens don't like it, they can vote the government out (though it would be different if it were a dictatorship).

This is the problem, though. If Apple starts doing a bad job, they will lose all their sales. So they have to constantly re-earn customers, and keep making it worthwhile for developers to build for their platform. Their product is a bit sticky, but not very.

The EU - well, the EU doesn't do some of the stuff you list, but even if it did, you can't vote it out. You might be able to vote for your local EU representative, but that's about it, and it's an incredibly weak signal.

More simply: Apple provides value, which people will chase. If value stops, Apple will fail. So it needs to keep providing value for people to keep opting in. The EU's regulatory influence ultimately derives from the threat of sanctions and imprisonment. That's power, because you can't opt out.
Arguably it is clearly the world that most consumers want or they wouldn't have voted for a government that enacted these policies.

I think it's a little silly to argue that purchasing decisions for a device are an endorsement of every single aspect of that device. There are features that are desirable on iOS that would be enough to influence a consumer to buy an iOS device that have nothing to do with whether or not the device supports sideloading.

But if we are arguing that purchasing decisions are an endorsement of every corporate decision about a device, then it seems silly to argue that voting decisions are not a similar endorsement of government policy. And of course, Apple is not legally obligated to serve the EU, they're one of richest companies on the entire planet so if anyone is equipped to be choosy about the markets they support, it's Apple. However, Apple has freely chosen to do business in the EU, and EU residents have freely chosen to vote for politicians that have imposed regulations on Apple's presence in the market.

Of course I don't actually think it's that simple. But ignoring the lock-in present in government policy and market participation is no less silly than ignoring the lock-in on in a device where moving away from the ecosystem can cause your credit card to stop working. A more reasonable take is that consumers make purchasing decisions for complicated reasons, some of them having nothing to do with lock-in (if they are even aware of lock-in or security or user freedom debates to begin with, which is usually not the case), and their preferences about these systems can change wildly depending on the circumstances and affordances and research that they do.

As an example, Facebook argued that users were clearly opting in to tracking on iOS by choosing to use the Facebook service instead of the many other available social networks they could sign up for. Thankfully, Apple didn't agree, and when users were offered a more clear choice about whether to share advertising IDs with Facebook, many of them said no. If we took a view that participation in an ecosystem was endorsement of the entire ecosystem, we'd be arguing that Apple adding privacy controls in front of Facebook was somehow circumventing the social-media market. But as it turns out many users did want privacy controls in front of Facebook, just not so much that they were willing to avoid Facebook entirely. When offered the best of both worlds, they were happy to use Facebook while sharing less information with the service.

The issue is that after the Winter war there was still a Finland, after WWII there was still a Poland, and a Germany and a Turkey and a Greece and an Armenia.

There is now no real Palestine state and no realistic prospect of one. Somewhere between 5 and 8 million Palestinians are now condemned to be extremely unwilling subjects of an endless military occupation by a hostile state and reduced to second class status in their own homeland.

_That_ is the crucial difference.

I did not look at the details of the PDF specification, but I have heard that there are indeed many cases that can confuse a PDF reader which wants to find or copy a text string.

Nevertheless, I have been using very frequently every day for many years search and copy + paste from PDF documents without any problem. I usually prefer to use mupdf as the PDF reader, because it is very fast (it also works better as an EPUB reader than the other EPUB readers that I have tried), but there are some seldom-encountered PDF files that mupdf cannot parse, in which case I fall back to other PDF readers, e.g. okular.

The only case that I encounter when search/copy/paste does not work is in scanned books that have not been OCR'ed, so they contain only bitmap images of the pages, without text.

The problems mentioned at your link are caused mostly by the PDF specification being too permissive, which allows abuses like using a non-standard character encoding coupled with the use of a non-standard font. However, this specific type of abuse could not be prevented by any specification without using some sort of AI to decide whether the glyph used for a character encoded as Unicode "A" is really a kind of "A".

Among the problems enumerated at your link, I have encountered a few times the case when there are thin spaces inserted between each letter of a string. In such a case it is annoying to remove those spaces after pasting the text in another document, but this is something that I have seen only very rarely.

A key difference is that Apple is making the new install fee "optional" in the sense that you can stay with existing Developer TOS (no install fee) -- or -- switch to the newer EU TOS (with install fees)[0]. Unity didn't have the "keep existing license with no changes" option so the outrage level is going to be different for Apple. Unity did eventually relent after a week and reversed their install fees decision. Apple doesn't have to do a Unity-style policy reversal because they already have the existing TOS that don't have the fees.

That said, there's no doubt that Apple carefully crafted the financial terms of the new EU developer TOS to make it economically unattractive.

Except, a French speaker could well just reply, "Donc" without anything else in contexts where an English speaker would never say, "Therefore."

In those contexts, "Donc" is more like, "Word!" or "Right on." I would translate those to mean, "Agreed."
