So then you just sideload the messaging app instead of using the official build that complies with the legal system. Just like many crime groups do already - look at the EncroChat phones that gangs were using. This just isn't enforceab

So what should they do? Copy OP and publish as is with no follow up, investigation or additional information? or should they do their job and investigate a claim that could be of interest to the public? Not like they could get information f

Because visual representation is separate from the underlying data structure. A string container doesn't have a specific direction, only a relative one. I.e. This character comes before the next and after the previous. Adding the bidi

I checked Tesco when posting, and could get a late evening delivery slot on Saturday. Collection I could get 7am Saturday morning. Not saying the system is perfect, but it's definitely possible to get next day delivery on groceries. Ev

This is a thing in the UK - both collection and delivery. In fact I can even order in the morning and collect in the evening, if the collection point has the availability on the day. Otherwise I can order for delivery the following day, or

You're making an apples to oranges comparison. If you knit a scarf and give it away, all you're left with is the knitting needles and the knowledge of how to make another scarf. Same thing with ansible - you're left with ansi

The quote was about the technology in general, not the specific application. The technology has plenty of applications in CGI and trying to push through the uncanny valley. By no means am I claiming that a tool designed to generate sexually

Where did anybody expect Blue Origin, SpaceX and Virgin Galactic by this point? 17-20 years of R&D, building on decades of rocket science and space exploration, consulting with NASA et al. and between the three of them, only 1 has been

My point is he could buy a lot of time to save the business. He's not "running out of time". The entire article just feels like: woe is the billionaire's pet project failing because it's not profitable in an unreaso

Has he some how gone bankrupt? I can't help but feel if he wants to keep Blue Origin running, he could use a handful of the cash he has laying around one of his mansions. or one of his yachts. or his Texas launch complex. Pretty sure h

The license is for the published version available publicly only. There's no reason why it can't be separately licensed to an individual/entity to grant commercial use on a case by case basis. This is no different from negoti

Which is why I think this could be a big turning point. IMO, GitHub is breaking licenses. If an ML algorithm ingests a viral licensed block of code, its outputs should be tainted with that license as it's a derived work. Otherwise I ca

which is a different issue to my point, but still very valid. what terms are implied if no license is specified? I would argue attribution should be expected if used, but I also wouldn't go near any code without a specific license atta

All of the copyright cases were settled, so no precedence is set. Open source as a contract has been ruled legal, and licensors can sue for breach of contract - which is not the same as copyright infringement. I think my point still stands.

by laurowyn 5y ago
Could this be the beginning of the true test of open source licenses? My understanding is that there has never been a ruling by a court to give precedence to the validity or scope of any open source license. I can see a class action suit co

This is why I asked the second question. If FINRA has no obligation to enforce its punishments, but doesn't want to deal with the fallout of the same company with the same name and leadership reapplying for membership, then how do they

by laurowyn 5y ago
Which begs the question; why can't you just ignore the fine, rebrand under a new name (including changing leadership) and then apply for new membership? What is keeping FINRA's interest in following up with punishments of members?

Yes, and I agreed with that in my comment. My point is that the software already hands out some data by its core function, so users are generally accepting of losing a little more data as long as it seems reasonable. It's the psycholog

I think the argument is that things like Firefox need to share some data with third parties to function correctly. The remote web server needs to know what page you want, your login details etc. That's not to say there's other thi

What is this even supposed to mean? Humans are outdoor animals. Yes. Well done. A+. We even have opposable thumbs, which means we can operate door handles and make our own way outside. Or are you asking us to demolish our houses and live ou

You should probably qualify this with location. Countries that have had domestic and wild cats for millennia are mostly unaffected by domestic cats being outside, especially in urban areas where wildlife is overrun by vermin. Yes, there are

This, in my opinion, is why we can't have nice things. Calling for the death of any living thing that we disagree with isn't okay. And trapping an animal indoors where it can't exercise its natural tendencies is also a non-so
