Wow “no nacelles have overheated or fallen off the max”. Really? Not even when a different single point of failure hidden “feature” flew a bunch into the ground killing all on board?

you're right, it's not an sms replacement: it's actually secure, and it has no requirement that you have a sim or phone number. Something RCS does not have. You can use SMS (and apparently RCS in future?) to talk to others, a

Isn't 30% standard across pretty much every App Store? Steam does not have lock in and yet I thought charged 30%, GoG is 30%, etc. Obviously other app stores could in principle charge lower amounts because they don't actually have

You mean "Apple should be required to build messaging services on top of apple's infrastructure". Google also prevents me from making a company that uses its search engine infrastructure and unlike iMessage it is actually the

I don't understand why people are cancelling their streaming services, the increasing prices, additional advertising, and spreading the content among different services creates a much more traditional viewing experience. This is more r

They make the key exchanges much larger for the same level of security, but the implementations are generally much harder to ensure are secure and safe as RSA is fairly susceptible to side channel attacks. The old argument that ECC is slowe

Everytime I see JSX I think of E4X, which is a now defunct standard that contributed to JS having for(of) instead of for each() :-/

Fun story, when first developing the web socket protocol we had to deal with kind of nonsense (especially for large commercial routers that did "deep packet inspection"). The solution is that the websocket protocol essentially doe

Like having a Patreon or similar sponsorship? Sounds like a recipe for licenses that say "you are not permitted to use this software if a bug could cause you any harm"
672.
by olliej 3y ago
If you have any kind of Patreon, GitHub sponsorship, buy me a coffee, or anything to "support development" it would seem you have met the requirement of being a commercial developer who should be liable.

Here's the problem as I see it: * Person A makes OSS project P * Organisation/Person B uses P * A vulnerability in P causes financial harm to B Is person A now liable under this law? What happens if person A has a Patreon or GitHu

Since when has stock based compensation ever cause misaligned incentives or negative externalities? :D

Wait, so now we're saying stock based compensation is bad? does that mean we'll stop giving executives stock based compensation?

You can already remove a number from iMessage (because this exact problem came up back when iMessage first came out)

That’s something you can do from iOS or macOS, or you can change your account password (which can be done on the web)

Because google is an advertising company, and makes money by spying on users. Google being found to scan emails received in gmail and advertise on that basis is why amazon receipt/invoice emails no longer include details inline. GMail

As a dumb question, how does Apple make a change that would allow android messaging to work without a cellphone? How does apple make a change so that android's messaging system isn't unencrypted by default? RCS is not encrypted, g

Ok, should Sony be _required_ to support playing playstation games on an Xbox if people are willing to pay?

So if a company is large enough it should be forced to provide free use of its infrastructure? Can I also demand google provide me with free use of their infrastructure?

by olliej 3y ago
I'll try phrasing this differently: should any company be required to provide free use of their infrastructure to non-customers?

This is like saying "is X is better than IE, why do the sites that work in IE but not X".

"AI in the cloud" with user data requires users to give up any pretense of privacy so it's amazing to me that people are ok with this? If you build "AI" into an OS, and that "AI" is on the cloud that means

Also who is paying for all this? iMessage is not a free service

by olliej 3y ago
No, the point of the ruling is that given an arbitrary amount of data, if a machine can generate the "invention" (in the patent sense) then you cannot patent it. Claiming that you invented the thing because you setup the AI would

When you file a patent based on a "novel" application or combination of existing ideas, or ideas from other sources, those ideas are not something you can patent. e.g in "somebody came up with a wheeled cart, somebody came up

The patent office says "if an AI comes up with it's not patentable" so you turn around and sign a piece of paper that says you came up with it. How is that not perjury? I'm not making a statement on "should a machin
