I would have gone with discoverability/UX. Finding and figuring out how to use a Usenet group was a complete pain. Once you’d managed the learning curve and found a group that interested you, it was great. But you can’t beat the discov

Are you surprised though? The Chrome Web Store isn't really a store... it's not like Chrome can (or does) charge for extensions. The only ones that are commercial that I'm aware of are tied to external systems (password manag

That’s a really good point. For us (near that 150-300TB inflection point for archival storage), it made more sense to put the data on S3 glacier. First off, the data is originally transferred through S3, but mainly, glacier hits the same ar

I think you’re dead on. I smaller scales, it’s cheaper just to keep more disks running. But once you get to scale, tape is great for archival work. The trick I’ve always found is to figure out where you are on that inflection point. And it’

Given that there is open source firmware for 3D printers, I’d say no. Also, the “resolution” of 3D printers is not high enough to allow for a tell tale “mark” that was otherwise undetectable.

Didn’t @jack kind of do this too? But it’s different when the founder/CEO is replaced only to return later. That’s a Steve Jobs play. When the CEO takes a new role, but still owns the company, that’s completely different (and certainly

It’s funny… talking about the Tears of the Kingdom yesterday with my son, he kept bringing up Ocarina of Time as an example of a perfectly rated game. He’s never played it and yet, it’s stuck in his head. I played it when it came out, but I

The law is generally less concerned with how something happened and more concerned with what happened. So I would suspect that the legal frameworks will be more restrictive towards code that is reproduced verbatim, regardless of if the co

You wouldn’t copyright an RNA sequence like this. While it is novel, I’m not sure you’d be able to get a copyright on it, as it’s a set sequence. Instead, you’d patent it. And I’m not aware that that question has yet been asked. Especially

Not for me. I mean, it “works” as in it is a functioning computer, but it’s not really useful as a daily driver machine. Mine is very touchy and build quality-wise, it’s not great. It is great for what you pay, don’t get me wrong. And I’m s

I thought the reason was the explicit patent language and lack of license virality. The Apache license 2 is pretty clear that binary only distribution is allowed, but I think it’s also clear that the assumption is that source is available i

by mbreese 4y ago
But what if you never had the source form? You can’t redistribute what you never had… This is actually an interesting question. But I can’t see how a binary only distribution would be in the spirit of the Apache license.

I figured it was called a moonlet because it didn’t have enough innate gravity to form a sphere shape. The pictures from the article have it looking quite bumpy.

But if the analysis programs are in a different server or you don’t want to transfer 100s of GB of data to the local machine for processing, you still want to have the ability to selectively transfer individual files. It doesn’t matter if y

It’s just not the same as having transfers available on the remote command line. I have a program I wrote that maintains a local server with a port forwarded over SSH. Then on the remote side I have a client program that sends a file(s) (or

The point of hiring faculty isn't to have a collection of impressive faculty doing cutting edge work. Otherwise, you'd get the same effect by funding corporate R&D research. I mean, yes, they can collect more federal grant res

That’s not the point they were trying to make. The point (as I saw it) was that cars have relied on computing for quite a while. Aside from the infotainment/nav systems, cars have required on board computers for decades. And I think ma

But they can also be devious. Because they aren’t under the same selective pressure as normal chromosomes, the number of ecDNA molecules can be highly variable between daughter cells. This is one of the potential resistance mechanisms for a

It's part of a plea agreement. In a plea agreement the defendant gives up certain rights in exchange for other sentencing considerations. They were worried they'd get a worse sentence at trial, so they plead to get a better deal.
