Well it is a shame to see the industry converging on believing the seemingly impossible based on secret evidence when presented by people who have every reason to lie (or build their own overconfidence) about their capabilities. When I work

I expected an odd argument about speech to the patent office in constructing an absurd patent and was pleasantly surprised that it was more thought out. But the argument seems like it should equally end trade secrets and the various gag ord

Your referenced study on meditation doesn't suffer from decontextualization.. While you are meditating you are acutely aware of senses like pain and you are managing them. I currently do language learning and music apps, AFAIK I am ac

In the US, all of the anti-competition laws more or less get described as monopoly law or anti-trust law. But distributor and partner programs have to be careful about laws in this category that have more to do with cartels and avoiding a s

I think winning in civil court is less likely than triggering a review and fines by the EU. If I were in Apple's shoes, I would fix this now that Microsoft wont distract anyone from their behavior. Any one of these butterflies could la

They dropped translation as a profit model (newer language groups lack "immersion" and they are trying to remove it from older languages with some backlash from existing users.) They released a remote testing/certification in

GPL2's single work issue may be a better example of ambiguosness, but dual licensing w/GPL3 is complex enough to collect from commercial licensees. Enterprises often buy the paid license because it is too hard for them to evaluate

These are all reasons not to republish -NC- material, they are no more convincing reasons not to use it to license as the arguments against GPL3. Maybe you have less uptake from people in the grey areas and less spread through for profit us

I don't entirely get the OP, if it is CC-BY then I think you could add ads to your trailer and collect money on his music. Perhaps he chose the wrong license.. If it is CC-BY-NC then he should be able to prevent you from adding ads in

As a C programmer I make a concious effort to ignore the possibility of using C for site specific code on the web, so I find C++ a stranger choice. For Java (or Scala), the problem is the baseline for running a VM. When I think of average J
