I'm not a customer, but I have a use case that in my opinion should be legal.

For years I've used my own terminal UI player (di-tui) for di.fm. At some point in the not-so-recent past, di.fm added Cloudflare's WAF, which prevents me from using one of my app's features: managing channel favorites within the app.

To be clear, I'm a paying di.fm customer, and my app only works for paying customers. But now my preferred method of listening to di.fm is slightly hamstrung because Cloudflare's WAF sits between me and little string token available to every browser that accesses di.fm (even non-paying customers).
According to this book: https://valsec.barnesandnoble.com/w/slow-down-time-the-power... , it basically happens because the number of snapshots you encode per second goes down. Snapshots are visual cues that we encode. The best example is that if we are watching a fan start, after a certain speed, we cannot tell how many wings are there on the fan. We are not snapshotting fast enough. Younger people can probably tell the number of wings on a faster fan :). Various things slow down this snapshotting in our brain, and the best antidote is to get in the zone and do things with immense attention.
Yep, Sony "lost," but they still killed Bleem and forced the creator into an agreement to, among other things, not make any more Playstation emulators. So really, Sony 100% won.

Bleem was a big deal, too. It let you just pop a Playstation game into a PC's CD-ROM drive and play it. When Sony finally nailed the coffin on them, they were working on a followup called "bleemcast" that would've let Playstation games be played on the Sega Dreamcast.
> And really I’m not sure how much they could add a special “Apple touch” outside infotainment/interior controls compared to luxury automakers.

The right time was between 2010 (iPad launch) and 2014 (CarPlay launch), with a complete infotainment-only product.

Essentially, mimic the iPhone-on-one-carrier bargain.

Go to a struggling automaker (Fiat Chrysler?) and say "What if we told you that you won't have to worry about any of your infotainment solutions? We'll build the unit, in exchange for owning the exclusive app store it uses. And you'll get to say your cars are powered by Apple." Win/win.

Instead, they dicked around until the automakers figured their consoles out (mostly... still looking at you angrily, Nissan) and Apple was left without a key differentiator.

Hell, the mind-numbingly obvious reason for Apple -- do it at a loss for the real-time mapping and traffic data!!
Container Instances is bad though, and you'll regret using it.
There is Azure Container Apps but it requires some more setup in advance.
> This is why people hate on crypto.

Someone makes a project designed to somehow pay contributors with crypto with no thought to the consequences. And it shows how to do it using other people’s projects.

So immediately grifters try to register themselves as owners of various projects wasting everyone’s time, and then gives a half assed non-apology saying “we were only trying to help”.

This approach was doomed from the start.
You can go to https://abc.xyz/investor/google-code-of-conduct/ and ctrl+f "evil", and you'll see it's still there.
It shouldn't matter even if there truly is nowhere else for you to go. There were zero forums in 1860 and yet we still figured out how to call each other race traitors in pamphlets. The first amendment right is to not have the government police your speech (often nowadays extended beyond speech to influence), it does not give you a positive right to force anyone else to spread your speech.

More than that, forcing someone else to spread your speech when they don't want to is a DIRECT violation of their first amendment right, of the "government forcing you to say things" kind.

You cannot make "free speech is an ideal" without breaking someone else's free speech.
but also skin in the game and supply/demand

Github should consider this a coordinated spam effort, and (shadow)ban accounts which create PRs consisting of only a `mikotea9` or `tea.yaml` file
That's fair. It's definitely a complementary thing, you want both types of forest I'm sure. Small forests don't cover all the needs, and large forests don't fit everywhere.
Hmm, I think I'm going to look into Cloudflare static hosting after this. I don't think they charge you on their free level CDN if you get DDOSed.
Actually legalese for "by secondhand knowledge" so not "no evidence" but "no direct evidence"
I'd say most piracy is people with an actual console that they have modded to load pirated games.
Because just being able to do it isn't the point. The real question is whether or not it's a good use of the cash they have available. OP is saying that it doesn't make good business sense for Apple to do this, not that it's impossible for them to pull it off.
Doom Emacs actually compiles your packages ahead of time before your editor even starts, which is a dog slow process to go through when you do it, but you only have to do it once and then your editor is as snappy as you could want. My Doom (which has a lot of layers enabled) starts in 0.17s iirc
Nintendo can't prove the leak wouldn't have happened without Yuzu. But they don't have to. They can simply show that Yuzu made it infinitely worse. Also, suing Yuzu does not preclude suing emulator makers or flashcart makers - they can all be sued as they all have culpability.
Even if the US and other car-centric countries started a serious effort on that today, it would take decades. During which people continue to use gasoline cars, and emitting more CO2 we will need to undo in the future. Electric cars make sense right now regardless of your perspective on trains (I like trains, and dislike cars, and I am sympathetic)
That's because the heat-exchanger is not efficient enough to prevent too much frost from building up. The answer there is a better (probably bigger) heat-exchanger.
ROM sites are different in that they are distributing the copywrited media

The only 'emulator' cases I've seen be successful are due to the same, they didn't get in trouble for the emulator, they got in trouble for distributing ROMs. I wonder if there's some firmware code being distributed here? that's a common annoyance when it comes to using an emulator.

Just switched my site to Cloudflare Pages. It took all of 5 minutes including futzing around with DNS stuff through the (ever-annoying) Google Domains settings page.

I'm usually pretty chill, and can't help but feel like I'm overreacting - but the risk of being sent an unexpected bill of even a few hundred dollars for something outside my control is unacceptable. Trusting that Netlify will do right by me and forgive the debt in a similar situation is not an acceptable strategy for managing that risk, so epiccoleman.com now lives at a provider without this risk.

This is the beauty of static sites, btw - switching to a new host is the work of mere minutes.
Reading Admiral Cloudberg‘s latest https://admiralcloudberg.medium.com/the-fall-of-the-viscount... history on deicing of air inlets and that these systems are now automatic and the 737 system was grandfathered in was interesting: „(The Boeing 737 is of course the one big exception, because its 1960s-era crew-activated engine anti-ice system has been repeatedly grandfathered in with no automatic mode for the last half century.) „

Did not Boeing ask for an exemption recently due to a dangerous heat up situation if these heaters were not turned off in time?
> Common sense suggests emulation would be significantly more common, but can Nintendo prove that in court

Nintendo is making that argument on the basis that Yuzu's Patreon income skyrocketed when TOTK leaked online.

https://graphtreon.com/creator/yuzuteam

It checks out, TOTK leaked on May 1st 2023 and Yuzus monthly income rose from $19k to $45k throughout May, having never broken $25k previously.
Yes that's basically it, you can ban a specific device but that's like removing water from the ocean with a bucket.

Betting on device attestation really means betting that computing devices will become more and more expensive in the future since the device cost is the only blocker created by the attestation.

And if there's one thing I'm expecting, it's that's not going to happen, device prices will continue to decline.
Apple fame as an innovator was always exaggerated by clever marketing. They always followed competitors and just jumped into a market at the right time with a sometimes refined experience and other times with a lesser experience but being the gorilla they are getting instant marketshare.

So most console manufacturers take a loss on the console in exchange for controlling the economy of the console and creating a network effect for non cross play games.

Nintendo is actually one of the few companies that make a profit (of a few cents) on their consoles.

Every computer is also NOT the same nowadays.
Modern operating systems abstract a lot of the differences away, but they’re there.

Consoles give game devs a predictable platform to develop against and make guarantees for.
I think ROM sites were an artifact of the internet speeds we had access to early on. Where it wasn't practical to just download an entire library for an older console. Downloading an N64 ROM over dialup still took a little longer than an mp3, whole collections of them were out of the question. Even early broadband in many areas was limited to speeds where a single ROM was more practical to download.

Complete ROM collections were, and probably still are, available for most old systems as torrents and on usenet.
"Build vs. Buy" was the term around this question way back when. And the answer landed fairly solidly on "Build your core value and unique business processes. Buy everything else."

Because that $15K for 6000 users is not about the cost to build the app. It is about saving the cost of internal staff to maintain the app. Even if you end up with 10 apps at $15K, the cost of the internal IT talent to maintain it is probably still more expensive, unless you find the miracle employee who can be a one-man wrecking crew for 10 different solutions, including the DevOps and other functions to support reliable operations and business continuity for all the apps. (24 x 7, too.)

I'd say that even if you do have an internal IT dev staff who could take it on... don't. Their efforts are better spent on things that are unique to your business, not re-inventing wheels.
Without constant replacement it's gone pretty fast.
The downside is that rapid iteration doesn't always give the same insight in terms of scientific understanding.

E.g.,

Design_A fails. We quickly pivot to Design_B, which works. However, we don't spend the time ultimately understanding why Design_A failed. This can be operationally great, but it can also risk conflating being lucky with being good. If you don't fundamentally understand why the thing failed the first time, it's much harder to understand if those failure modes are fully mitigated.

Personally, I think the ideal approach is to have SpaceX continue the rapid enginneering iterations, but give NASA (or some other entity) the resources to research the rest.

An OS distribution is a whole OS because you need an OS. An Emacs “distribution” (quotes) doesn’t include Emacs because you can already install vanilla Emacs yourself.

I saw Huawei cars being sold in Huawei stores in China. (Huawei stores are like Apple Stores). They were incredibly normal, beautiful cars. In contrast, Apple would have to make a gamechanger. Too big of a risk?
> Severity is desirable iff it's justified.

It's necessary if it's (necessary & efficient & justified); it's never desirable IMHO.

Doing severe things because they are justified is just acting out on a desire or drive - internal anger - but now we can 'justify' the target and feel ok about it. Lynch mobs think they are justified.
> It's fairly easy to prove that if the emulator did not exist, the leak would be fairly inconsequential

That. Literally doesn't make any logical sense. That's like arguing that if computers didn't exist, the leak would be fairly inconsequential ... or if electricity didn't exist, the leak would be fairly inconsequential.

I mean, the switch has been hacked to hell and back and is more than capable of playing pirated games without any emulators. It isn't necessarily easy to show stats on pirating users since they obviously work to cloak that behavior from Nintendo.
Look man I'm all about emulation and hate litigious holders of IP but what you're describing here is just straight piracy.

"I don't wanna buy the hardware" is not a sufficient excuse to steal a game.
Same here. Will I ever get a level of traffic that would cause this problem? Extremely doubtful. Is it worth the risk when Cloudflare Pages is a similarly easy offering, and took 5 minutes to switch to? Hell no.

> unlike prior emulators, Yuzu risks running afoul of DMCA anti-trafficking provisions for circumvention devices and software that uses circumvention devices

This is interesting, it'd be great to have a link to explain this matter more deeply.
It matters for future precedence.

It can be used to win cases against other emulators and even shut them down with limited legal action.
Bingo. Where does the money come from? So developers just sign up to get paid and it magically appears somehow?

This doesn’t make any sense from the start.

You were more optimistic about crypto than I was. Every project I see try to use it just seems to scream either grift or naïveté. It doesn’t surprise me one bit that the immediate thing that happened was a bunch of people wanting free “money” tried to get it without any actual work.
Moving to 100% RISC processors seems pretty significant.

I’ve also experienced this using GAN. Be wary and use common sense. I never bothered reporting it but I’d be willing to bet we’re talking about the same person. They listed the same advertisement in basically every state with a different Google Voice number so as to appear local.

I was under the impression that we would be meeting because they were local, which is how GAN is intended to operate.?Instead, they shipped the queen to me without any USDA permits. The queen also died within a few weeks of arriving. They started a web store not longer afterwards.

That said, I’ve had plenty of good experiences with GAN. This was one bad actor out of many good ones.
Amusingly, I nearly had that procedure done.

It’s not uncommon to see much bigger improvements in cost than what SpaceX is targeting. E.g., solar. https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/solar-pv-prices
Well first, the file is usually called `tea.yaml` - and the other PRs show that. Not sure why this guy named his file mikotea9...

I agree in cases like this GitHub should take action, but in general it would be nice to let people set their own filters as it allows maintainers to prevent abuse more specific to their project, instead of letting GitHub themselves chase things around, and makes it easy to fix the next major spam event that comes around.
It's as bad as being banned from entering North Korea.

Thanks, but you don't get to tell me what I'm allowed to have. This is basic property rights.

It's truly easy and inexpensive to get into- all I had to do was forget to do the dishes one night!

....my apologies, I don't mean to ridicule your hobby, it's just I couldn't imagine wanting more of them in my house on purpose.
You might be right, I was connecting this with the Dolphin case which was making the argument that the keys are copyrightable. Essentially this is an extension of that, which is arguing that any circumvention is a violation of 17 US § 1201.
They are aiming for 6 launches this year. That is a lot of chances to make it work.

Even if there is a catastrophic failure that destroys the launch tower, they are building another and will still likely get 2-3 attempts.
Oke thing I really like about caddy is that it's super easy to use it to expose a bunch of docker-compose services to the Internet, with HTTPS, compression, and all that jazz. It helps avoid weird stuff I've ran into with other web servers like "oh, this nginx feature requires you import some random dudes packages because the official version doesn't enable it, and if the random dude and the official package versions ever diverge everything breaks"
Electric cars make sense. Having Apple build electric cars, when they've never built anything like that before? That's far less clear.
If I were running a successful company I would stay as far away from selling cars as possible- it can't imagine how bad it is for PR (not to mention your psyche) to suddenly have "Family killed by drunk driver" headlines with a giant color picture of your flagship product, blood-stained and mangled below it.
Yep, I agree, only need to run Caddy in Docker if you're planning to use Docker for things Caddy will serve.

Our docs cover many installation methods, most commonly used is our apt or rpm repos, which run Caddy as a systemd service. See https://caddyserver.com/docs/install
Not particularly. But it's the biggest fish so it's the biggest target.
If it’s all so possible, how come SpaceX has no viable competition? I get it, you don’t like Elon, that’s understandable, but let’s please give adequate credit where credit is due. Pulling off just one of the things he did would be a monumental achievement for anyone. He’s done what at this point, 3-4? Does that really mean nothing to you just because you don’t like that he has the gall to use the First Amendment?

I fail to see how letting the rich influence politicians is good. How is "we put a bunch of money together, now listen to us" good for democracy?
This is truly awful for the gaming community at large. If this case makes a ruling then it will most likely have an impact on all emulation projects. If Nintendo decides to sue your open source project, how do you mount a legal defense?
> [4] "On information and belief, Yuzu users have (1) dumped Nintendo games they have lawfully purchased and copied the game ROMs into Yuzu; and (2) obtained Nintendo games online from pirate websites and copied those game ROMs into Yuzu. Each such reproduction constitutes a violation of 17 U.S.C. § 501(a) for which Plaintiff is entitled to damages under 17 U.S.C. § 504 and injunctive relief under § 502"

How on earth can they claim that the developers of Yuzu are responsible for copying done by their users?
Except apple none of these even is a US brand. And apple doesn't produce there. We (Europe) actually export plenty of random and luxury stuff to Asia, the question was about the US
Easy, just open a startup wind down wind downer company and you have a brand new market.
NACA airfoils aren’t so much a numbered set of standard, tested designs as a useful set of mathematical curve formulae for making airfoil-like shapes, and describing them using parameters.

NACA published empirically determined wind tunnel performance numbers for selected parameters, which was useful research but not a declaration of ‘these are the good values, you should only use these’.

It’s a bit like saying all satellites follow TLE orbits derived by NASA/NORAD in the 1950s - they do, but only because that’s just a standard way of writing down the orbital elements that describe a particular ellipse, not a catalog of ‘known good’ orbits.
I suppose they could use Bleem VS sony
How well does this work when there is fundamentally little information? It works in stock trading because so much information is standardized and regulated. I am skeptical of it being as useful here simply because the crowds don't have much relevant information, as far as I know. For example, do the crowds know about the design redundancy? What about the supplier quality control? Or the reliability data on the check valves used? etc. etc.
Do we need Apple specifically to make an electric car?
In my mind the potential for profitable industry beyond earth orbit depends almost entirely on how low we can manage to bring cost of kg to orbit.

It doesn’t have to be cheap enough to make e.g. asteroid mining profitable on its own (which is an awfully high bar), just high enough to make construction of large, permanently spacebourne ships feasible.

Ships like that ease the bootstrapping problem and make it more feasible to mine asteroids in-place instead of having to move them to an orbit that’s not expensive to reach. Their flexible, multipurpose nature also helps pay for them over time; they can for example drop crew and cargo off at the moon and Mars en route to the asteroid belt.
What does Apple‘s walled garden have to do with buying a car?

I’m so tired of people claiming apples walled garden gives them magic abilities. It has nothing to do with this. Do you really think people are going to pay an extra $30,000 for a car because it works with the iPhone?

I have an iPhone. I love Apple stuff. I’m not paying any premium for an Apple car, they have to convince me it’s worth it over the competition.
I don't think I invented anything tbh, I just relied on SQLAlchemy's URI formats, and I decided to abuse it slightly for even more config.
Sure. Just look up the DeCSS controversy which got the creator of a DVD ripping software arrested and barely avoiding extradition, or the 09 F9 controversy where the MPAA attempted to censor a number from the internet.

This provision in the DMCA has been most often used against developers of unauthorized DVD copying software, Blu-ray copying software, etc; and the force of the legal argument has been well proven previously. It nearly killed RealPlayer when they made unauthorized software for DVD playback.

You can also see this law invoked in Apple v Psystar; when Apple sued Psystar for circumventing protections in macOS to allow running macOS on non-Apple hardware. That lawsuit was dragged all the way to the final appeal to SCOTUS - and Psystar was shredded the whole way. Expect Apple v Psystar to come up in a Nintendo vs Yuzu lawsuit; because running macOS on unapproved hardware sounds awfully similar to running games on unapproved hardware.

If Nintendo were to succeed invoking it here - emulation would be legal. Decrypting games would be illegal. Consoles before, say, the Wii (IIRC) would be free to emulate due to not being encrypted - but newer games, being encrypted, would be off-limits just like DVDs.
I guess it depends on what you expect. IMHO, they still make the best OS for personal computers. And Apple Silicon is pretty awesome too.
It can be handled "kludgingly" by incrementing the name. e.g. foo --> foo3
