That would be a more fair criticism if Apple charged the game publishers fair fees commensurate with the cost of security audits, bandwidth, availability, and the like. Instead, Apple (and other app stores) tend to demand massive profit sha

For your typical workhorse lawyer, yes. But the legal profession, in terms of fairness for new grads, is perhaps the worst of all professions, I'm told. Basically, if you go to a top school you make 3x the average graduate based on tha

I really appreciate the insight! I'll check out that source by Soltis.

NEC v60 in 1986 might count or it might be considered an offspring of x86. Not sure. AS/400 is another interesting one. It was introduced on a System/38 base but intended for future transition to POWER.

The proposed law bans voluntary non-competes as well as mandatory. It states that employers may not even accept such covenants. It is an absolute ban on employment restraints.

Your analysis is not likely correct. The bill appears to be aimed quite generally at restrictive covenants, outlawing any contract restraining a covered individual's employment. This would void any agreement predicating the terms and c

In the US you have to keep certain records for EEOC purposes and if an applicant comes back within the statute of limitations with such claims, you need supporting documentation. Four weeks is definitely not customary.

If you have open employment at the CIA it is a semi-public record. All of the usual things apply like employment verification and creditors or family courts tracking down paychecks for garnishments. I have no idea what the social media poli

Definitely will evolve, because we don't even know how to do self-driving cars, for example. Maybe we still won't in 20 years. Driving with heavy snow on the ground, in the dark, with pedestrians, is a hard problem

I'm just asking if some system of using digital signatures could help weed through the inevitable proliferation of bots and deepfakes and ai agents. I'm pretty sure it's already illegal to steal someone else's signature

by erosenbe0 3y ago
I don't think so. Surely we will go as far as AI that self directs the 3d printing of tools and the control of drone fleets and insect or rodent size bots. This will be necessary for AI to help with things like construction, farming, a

Would univeral adoption of digital signatures issued by trusted authorities alleviate this problem to any degree? For example, my phone would automatically sign this post with my signature. If I programmed a bot, I could sign as myself or a

This was interesting in 1995. By 2005-2010, SoCs included sophisticated cache architecture, memory controller, internal and external bus controller, transceivers, and maybe iGPU. All of which play a role in performance per watt. ISA was no

I think a lot of legacy 1980s style systems already had an 8 bit external data bus (think z80, 80xx, 68xx), so if you wanted to upgrade with more I/O, uart, seven segment displays and the like, the atmega is a flexible choice that coul

Yeah that's how I read it. He gave [possibly ill-gotten] money to his parents. If tax was involved, then the treasury might need to give that fraction back to the bankruptcy trustee. If not, great, then it's just the family that n

Agreed. Can't overstate the cost effectiveness. In the late 80s or early 90s you could put hundreds of dumb terminals on one network with just hubs for signal integrity. Plenty of collisions but it all worked itself out somehow if the

Businesses don't have freedom of association. For example, in California, the "ban the box" law means that FANG must hire convicted domestic abusers even if it is bad for morale. This of course pertains only to past actions o

Seems like whistelblowing by teachers prevents tens of thousands of cases of child abuse--otherwise how will little Billy's twelve consecutive black eyes get reported? And yeah, a lot of times little Billy just face plants into his toy

If the accused uses "G" universally as his version of "dude" or "bro," then that isn't bias, just maybe a lack of tactfulness. If he uses "G" for guys who wear nice clothes, "dude" for

Mostly true. Though certain property crimes or conduct violations such as vandalism, ripping down flags, graffiti, and the like might just have the institution itself as the complainant.

Stanford takes lots of federal money so HR is bound to Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, plus Title IX and Section 504. If the bias investigations result in a discriminatory disparate impact or some kind of double standard they will eventua

Correct. It's mostly social and not based on 'looks,' per se. Let's give an example. I'm white as a ghost. But from pre-school age I went over to my Indian neighbor's house to play. I'm fond of the cooking

You are only confirming that nominally, ethnicity and race are not important. For example, a white American of Slavic descent is more comfortable in a room of non-white Americans who also smell of Budweiser than they would be in a room of R

Woz is embellishing for dramatic effect. Decades ago, picture ID meant anything. You could get on a plane sometimes with a school ID. Before holograms and bar codes on driver's licenses, all IDs were presumed to be garbage and just a w

Yep, for example, lots of cases with coerced confessions or just confessions obtained from individuals with developmental disabilities. The investigator would be the one who overdid it, not the prosecutor, who is often obliged to pursue the

Correct, one does not compare a top-of-the-line Amish buggy to a Tesla even though both are wheeled personal passenger transports.

Yes, if the 128 of the 6537 is mapped starting at 0x100, then one would use ldx, txs, pha, pla, etc., for any possible optimization. S register is a precious resource! Anything to squeeze between those hsyncs.

Xerox did not 'allow' their monopoly on copiers to expire. They regularly filed large numbers of patents and engaged in monopolistic commercial practices in an attempt to lock up one or more elements of the supply chain. The FTC t

Nxp sells a PCF2131 with an internal TCXO that runs on 64 nanoamps when not doing anything else. So with a modern CMOS process, the TCXO itself is not a big deal. A clock pin at 32768 cyc/s looks to be way more power hungry, which tell
