That’s how patents always work; the concept cannot be patented, it’s the method which is. Garmin for instance has their own (patented) method which works differently from the infringing Apple implementation.

If you read a scientific paper that talks about causation, you will see things like confidence intervals and assumptions. That’s what causality means, causal with some confidence under some set of circumstances and preconditions. That’s wha

That is simply not true except according to metaphysics. There are tests for causality in science which have no basis in metaphysics. This is why scientific conclusions about causality have thorough method sections and things like confidenc

Reproduction is not valued by the community in any way that matters. There’s no prize for reproducing, or failing to reproduce, others work. Getting a grant to do reproduction is much harder than getting the initial grant. Nobody is citing

The explanation is pretty simple; she’s a coward and seeking closure by unburdening herself without doing the hard thing and being fully transparent about what happened. If you helped build someone’s reputation by not bothering to verify th

This doublespeak of loving science in the abstract and totally ignoring it as applied to yourself is everywhere in academia. It’s one of the most profound disappointments of my adult life that the world is filled to overflowing with poser s

That’s absolutely untrue. Metaphysics is only required for causation by metaphysics; physics without metaphysics has causation. In many ways, metaphysics is just a self-referential annoyance.

Except in this case the vast majority of people have read the docs and then gone on to implement them correctly. I’m sorry that you wrote buggy code because you didn’t read. But it’s the height of arrogance to assume that because you did, e

There are induction cooktops which will heat a griddle the size of a half sheet tray, and will automatically sense when it’s there and turn on the bridge. They also have fewer hotspots than gas, which definitely doesn’t heat evenly on thin

Every apartment I ever lived in that had electric had a glass range. If you’re even a little careful it’s perfectly fine. It sounds like you enjoy performative clattering, and if that’s your preference then more power to you, but that’s hig

If people don’t read, it’s their fault. Reading the docs is not a big ask.

…because people don’t read the docs and instead just assume that it works how they think it should.

And I bet it’s super effective. Adversary goals are not generally to do something cool, they’re to do the easiest possible thing that works.

Maybe. It’s also increasing the likelihood that security will get a detection though, which might or might not be worth it depending on my goals.

You are being downvoted right now, but this is a great point. If you have execution control in someone’s container, use the containers existing secrets to achieve your goals. I don’t need to escape your web apps container to steal all of th

lol, no it’s not, it’s an NFC chip with an account ID on it. That allegedly encrypted hd is just a vhd stored in programdata that anyone can mount and read. It’s not a Kensington lock but it provides the same amount of data security as one.

Everyone who doesn’t throw that useless weird dongle out with the box will lose it immediately. This is not a technical problem and you cannot fix it with a technical solution.

Normal people are not going to do any of those things. If you force them to, they’ll lose the phone or wipe it or sell it. They will lose the physical key immediately, or break it somehow, or sell it. This is not a technical problem, and yo

It’s not a concern because corporate linked MacBooks can be easily unlocked by the corporation regardless of if the assigned user is available or logged in.

If it’s a corporate MacBook that’s not a concern.

And then they will immediately get publicly roasted for scaring users into creating that account. There’s no stance they can take here which makes everyone happy.

Much like saying “no offense” doesn’t make something not offensive, saying “honest question” doesn’t make a question not disingenuous. If you find yourself typing “don’t downvote” you should consider rephrasing your question to not be worth

Oh, I saw that fig leaf, I just realized that it’s meaningless. Whether or not someone includes the phrase in front of their assumptions makes absolutely no difference. It’s just a Rorschach test. Edit: I suspect I’m wrong, adding it probab

The carve out for US Government work is explicitly stated in the statute. Not only does that not create a precedent for others to create copyright-free works, but if anything it makes the case that exceptions to copyright-by-default have to

Have you spoken with lawyers about this idea? At least in the United States, that’s not how copyright or public domain works. One does not need to apply for copyright to receive one, and there is no mechanism for renouncing copyright. There

Interesting that you chose to ask for a citation to an anecdote but not to the person who cited a specific percentage. You might want to google “confirmation bias”.
