Yes, that was the takeaway by the MPAA-aligned laywers at the time.
Get a second mug printed from the same printer, and hide it safely away, in case the original ever breaks, and they are out of business.

PSA for those using windows at home: someone else has already done all the work removing spyware / unnecessary junk / mandatory login, etc. https://github.com/topics/windows-11-debloat I think I used this guide…
This is an effect of Japanese corporations lobbying for copyright legislation, not Japanese "society". I agree that the word "society" can be used to convey social norms, whether imposed by the general public or a…
It would be nice if the organizations would publish a hash of the code and the trained dataset.
It would be great if there was a read-only version of the site that can be crawled. Much easier to do that supporting both HTTP and JS for both read and write.
Sadly, I've had bad experiences with some Single Page Apps. Here are some problems I've had: Linking to a specific topic. Archiving the site.
This type of thing can help you formally verify code. So, if your proof is correct, and your description of the (language/CPU) is correct, you can prove the code does what you think it does. Formal proof systems are…
Definitely. Unfortunately, Language implementations that guaranteed exceptions were not in wide use at the time. Also, to have a chance at being implemented on more than one CPU, it had to work in C and assembly.
Very true! But probably for different reasons. Interfacing to a micro-controller or a PIC is a bit more complicated than plugging a keyboard and monitor in.
I'm glad that C++ is starting to become a useable language, too. But 25 years is enough. Asking them to wait another 12 years is a bit unreasonable.
Don't forget the centralization that undermines its ability to be private!
That seems like a very real effect, but the votes need to be disclosed after they occur. Otherwise, the lobbyists have even more power, because the committee has an incentive to collude with the lobbyists, if their…
I think the feelings have been there for a long time. What changed is that it is harder to exert corporate culture (eg. fear or information control) while out of office.
We don't have vaccines for the 200+ viruses that cause "the common cold". The flu, which is usually a more serious disease, has a vaccine that is updated and offered yearly. 80% of US medical personnel already take the…
Good point, but incomplete. It's safe to assume the company improved their process over time. The point stands that it may be a hassle at other companies. Furthermore, you are beholden to the company until then.
You forgot the who - Whose fault is it that those points were not clearly communicated? - Who wrote the perceptual hash matching code? - Who is allowed to audit the code, the review system, and the hash database? - Who…
There was a lot of confusion. Caused by Apple trying to slip this feature under the radar, and omitting information.
Actually, I'm with you in that I think Apple's motives are different than people think, but I think yours are incorrect as well. > Apple has been, as part of their privacy initiatives, trying to do as much as possible…

Yes, I used a friend's, and it really is great. However, you must link it to your facebook account that is connected to your true friend graph, and they can deactivate your account at any time. I highly recommend that…

I'm glad to see this topic so hotly debated here. After having read most of the comments here, most of the discussion is turning on the point of what the first amendment does or does not require. That's great - the law…
We need technology, but more important is business and government. We have all the data on what is causing the problem, but we are not making value judgements, and taking action based on those judgements. Until our…
