It's not just tech companies, many entertainment companies (e.g. video games, media) do the same, even at the risk of alienating or angering Western customers

AWS and Azure in China are the literal opposite of white labeling. It's still the global product, branded under the global name, (mostly) operated by the global organizations. The affiliation with Chinese companies is borderline fine p

I think you still misunderstood. ryeguy_24 was *commenting on their own post* They obviously clicked the link, because they posted it.

I think my comment laid out the problem very clearly. You need a _source_ for the information, not a place to persist it. Do you have a solution for how to cheaply extract features from songs? If yes, I'd love to hear about it, but if

FLAC also doesn't give you the information these google'd API's did. My bicycle won't run out of gas but that doesn't mean it's more useful/reliable than my car for a cross country road trip

I'm not familiar with the original case but was the legal system ever involved for the customers? It sounds to me like it was only Rightscorp (sidebar, what a fittingly dystopian name for a company like that) sending letters to the ISP

Especially for things like cars where there's very few options and most of the auto industry does the same thing. If you have even a single constraint outside the "industry norm" (like a manual transmission in the US, or pote

The whole point of this thread is that you're defending what you perceived to be a personal attack against Matt (calling him a tyrant) and the other poster was trying to explain that it was not, in fact, a personal attack. So if you ag

They stopped engaging because you seem either unwilling or incapable of understanding the difference between personal attacks and criticism of an artifact. To try and take the emotion out of it, it's the difference between saying &quot

That's a fair argument, but it doesn't appear that that updates are high on sleep number's priority list: > The hub includes Python 2.7.18. While extremely old (keep in mind the Hub appears to have been last updated in 201

You're hand-waving away all the complexity in the "nitty gritty." Enqueue absolutely requires coordination, if not via leader then at least amongst multiple nodes, if you want to guarantee at least once delivery If you don&#x

If you don't use pumps you need your whole supply of water to be sourced from the hight of the high point in the locks. How would you propose to operate a pure gravity lock system without an outside supply of water? With the Panama can

I appreciate pedantry as much as the next person, but I think it's safe to say that if you're using a shell without support for `help` you can make your way without it. As a more practical suggestion, I find functionality detectio

Was this article written by AI? It's a strange mix of really basic stuff and true advanced suggestions, jumbled together with no apparent organization scheme. Then the "complex tasks" are just a couple basic system administra

My only complaint with GDPR is when I have to do boring work in the name of GDPR compliance :) But it's also driven some pretty interesting projects, so I'd probably call it a wash or perhaps a slight positive, even if I were to i

Ah my bad, I guess the problem isn't quite as ubiquitous as I thought. The use case I mean is the same as the other commenter mentioned, devices with a captive male USB c cable, the notable example for me personally is docking hubs, tw

Another unfortunate blunder resulting from the complicated design is that usb C female to usb A male adapters are unsafe and prohibited by the usb C spec (because they can be used to make unsafe connectors) You still see those adapters freq

It's interesting to me how the article mentions the large payload requirement, then the only example of what that payload _could_ be is reconnaissance. I always find it interesting how and when people or groups emphasize or de-emphasiz

I'd consider it related, for two reasons: First and foremost (and what I think the parent comment is getting at) whether you could truly say an LLM "understands" language As a secondary quibble in the context of the parent po

Nothing of the sort was glossed over, I'm not sure how you failed to read so spectacularly. Quotes from the article: > Formoterol is a medication I take for asthma. I have been taking it for years well below the anti-doping threshol

The title here is simply wrong, there's no nuance that could possibly make it correct. Nethack, by design, changes the gameplay (slightly for some characters, greatly for others) based on the phase of the moon. It tells you this, the s

The literal whole point of the game (as described by the opening text) is to retrieve the Amulet of Yendor and offer it to your chosen "god" (called ascension). If score is not tied to progress in the game, I'd say the agent&
