Lets take it that people are worried about being ripped off. If it was easy to return an app for a refund from Apple, would you expect the baseline $0.99 price to go up?

Hm, guess that means I don't understand the article I linked to.

The orbital axis of all the planets in our solar system are roughly parallel (within 10 degrees, Mars is just under 2 degrees off ours), so it would be fair to pick a north pole at the same "end" as ours. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orbit

The readme suggests that he only gets a copy of the final laws. That means he can diff two versions of a law, but more work would need to be done to say that a change to two different laws belongs in the same patch. Apparently that data is

Did you intend to use a technique? That isn't the question I'm considering, which is where the apparent disagreement comes from. Someone can intend to use a technique, while not intending to infringe a patent. It is infringing the patent

Here's the section from UK law, you could look up a similar section in your jurisdiction: when awarding damages ... take into account the following – (a) whether at the date of infringement the defendant or defender knew, or had reasonable

> Patent infringment consists of using some technique without the permission of the owner. There are different punishments for patent infringement with and without intent, so by definition you can have patent infringement without intent

this sounds like a perfect scenario for asymmetric encryption I suspect that they are already using asymmetric encryption, with some sort of mechanism to allow third party mechanics (and thieves pretending to be mechanics) to sign new fob

It isn't solved for computer networks, this is exactly the same as the current debate about secure boot. Secure boot is an open standard, but we've not agreed about who can hold the keys: http://www.fsf.org/campaigns/secure-boot-vs-restric

This is where it gets dangerous. We've swapped physical keys for electronic keys, but we've mandated that the root electronic keys get kept in the car. Everyone wants the keys to be kept outside the car. The future of personal freedom will

The argument is that downloading a compiled version of the software patched in that way is something that people would be willing to do to remove ads, but that re-implementing the software from scratch just to remove ads is not something th

It sounds like you are calling the article "lawyer speak" because they included a "background" section. The rest of the article lays out what the current problems are, what they are going to do about it, and when they are going to ship. The

Yea, that's what I had in mind while watching the video too. I remember that example as delete around paragraph, to match delete inside paragraph (dip), which differ in how they handle whitespace at the end of the paragraph. Delete inside q

You mean, write a script which wraps each line in a js file with try catch? Sounds doable.

A bad test might boil down to, assert(month(now()) == month(now() + 24.hours)) then fail from time to time.

How well did the algorithms detect insightful analysis, deep understanding beyond the immediate subject matter, factual correctness, salience and an ability to write to a specific audience? I'm far from well informed, but my understanding

But a novel hash function will still do the trick and isn't comparable to using a single salt across the entire database, as you originally claimed. I'm not sure I understand this point, what is the criteria for a function to be novel? Th

It is common to have time on the x-axis, but that doesn't seem to be the case here. The dots on the line are equally spaced horizontally, but the number of years between each dot varies, sometimes it is 20 years, sometimes it is 40 years, s

At least in the UK, the price of the contract depends on the phone. SIM-only contracts are also available, which will be even cheaper each month. The only number which will give an apples-to-apples comparison is the total cost (initial cost

That would probably work, but it means that the problem + workaround is spread out across two systems rather than being contained in just one. Also, working around it on the consumer side means that any new consumers (or any new string fiel

Yes, fair point. That's a good argument for using the git-number plugin instead, which has similar core features. The scm_breeze plugin didn't seem to like my hostile Cygwin environment, I'll try out git-number tomorrow, it should be a bit

It looks like they started work on IPv6 in 1994[1], so I doubt migration issues have been known about since the 80s. [1] http://www.ipv6.com/articles/general/timeline-of-ipv6.htm
