Except Google maintains the code that performs those checks. Rolling out changes to key checking will result in a longer transition, but it is more legitimate than demanding developers hand over private signing keys. And in the meanwhile Go

This is insane. What is the point of even having a developer signing key if people other than the developer have access to it? Why don't they just sign the APKs with Google's own keys from here on out? Can't wait to hear Moxi

I think other telcos subcontracting their bids to SpaceX is highly unlikely. Especially since their aren't really any penalties for not completing all the build-out they bid on. So the non-speculative part is that SpaceX was awarded $8

I've been to plenty of small rural towns where cable TV and internet existed, was better than DSL, but worse than what Starlink will be offering. Their population density is low enough that Starlink could provide service to most if no

No what happened is that YT creators were found to be blatantly and directly infringing on copyright by uploading copyrighted video themselves. As a result they had to accept unbalanced settlement terms negotiated from a position of weaknes

Yeah that is my take as well, and I'm rather perplexed at what the author would like server-side rendering to output given they don't like PNG and SVG either. HTML and CSS weren't designed with math in mind, and while you can

For libel, you generally have to show harm, but there are some claims that are assumed on their face to be damaging an no proof of harm is needed (libel per-se). Falsely accusing someone of being a serial killer would generally fall into th

This blog, linked from the original article goes into this idea in detail, describing how JXL was focused on improving compression of high fidelity images, and has not focused as much on the appeal of highly compressed images. https:/

Yeah, since they were pressured by the government into issuing a recall, they figured it would be a good time to shed customers that don't provide them recurring income which will offset the cost of the recall.

Yeah, I agree that webp looks better for many of the images. For most of them it comes back to the subjective issue that webp (and VP9) choose to err on the side of blurring detail they can't encode, while jpeg XL (and x264, etc) try t

Actually, the GPL itself does not contain that clause. The FSF encourages you to release software as "GPL 3 or later", but if you don't explicitly state that (by using their recommended license notice, or otherwise) then your

The journal already had documented evidence that the legitimate paper was submitted to the journal before the plagerism was submitted to ArXiv. I don't know why they would trust an ArXiv timestamp more than their own.

Yes, although if I recall, that case turned in large part on whether the law could restrict calling oneself an engineer in general as opposed to misrepresenting oneself as a Licensed Professional Engineer. In this case, Marohn was unambiguo

by pavon 5y ago
Yeah, this will be an interesting case, and touches on several issues. Does the Minnesota law prohibiting misrepresenting oneself as a professional engineer apply only when performing work that requires a license, or in all facets of life?

Interesting variation on circular queue. It looks like it is mostly useful when the size of the data chunk varies, but the consumer never reads across the boundry of a chunk. Something like variable length packets/messages would be a g

Does the large number of sequences cause any problems? It is only a few codepoints, most (all?) of which already exist, so it isn't exhausting the code space. They are being combined in manners that are already used in unicode. And of

The actual crime would be different; the former would be assault, while the latter would be unauthorized access under the CFAA, but I think the principle applies to both. In both cases the intent to cause harm exists, and doesn't becom

The only difference between GPL3 and AGPL3 is what constitutes distribution. With GPL3 you have to provide source to anyone you provide binaries. With AGPL3 you also have to provide source to anyone who uses the software remotely (eg a web

That was my initial reaction. If the employer's sole concern is to avoid using IP they don't have full rights to, then they can just require me sign over rights to my IP which I used in work projects. That approach does create mor

You do then need to find somewhere to store an offsite backup of your encryption keys. That said, since those change far less often than your backups, options like a safety deposit box are a more realistic place to store keys than the backu
