We could do a Bell Labs and force each nation's Facebook to be spun off into its own entity, with a federated interop protocol to connect them together. I have no delusions that such a thing would ever be allowed to happen, though.

Exactly. As long as Facebook is a private corporation, the First Amendment protects their right to arbitrarily censor the speech on their platform however they wish. The way state-controlled media censorship has turned out in other countrie

How about if instead, we nationalize Facebook. The public square should not be owned by a private corporation. If that's not possible, yes: Facebook should be destroyed.

I think this is a good philosophy for hiring employees, but when it comes to education, we wish to go beyond training employees, and what your capabilities are is not the only thing that matters. We should test practical capabilities, but w

So is Musk guilty of defrauding twitter by using aggressive acquisition tactics as a pretense to get access to internal nonpublic information to use against them?
756.
by philipov 4y ago
His complaints don't hold merit because he entered into a binding agreement to buy Twitter after waiving due diligence rights. Zatko was fired in January. Musk had and waived his chance to discover these things. It's too late now.

Too late. There's already an upcoming video game following our Hero, Gollum, during the period before LotR where he wanders searching for the stolen Ring.

Is there a way to get it to report progress while it's working? It's been running for 30 minutes and I can't tell if it's doing anything. There's been no output since it reported the files it was combining.

Not just for displaying text, but monitors have traditionally updated from left-to-right, top down. If you update the frame buffer in the middle of the screen refreshing, you end up with screen tearing, which is when the frame that gets dra

Anyone can learn to code, just like anyone can learn to write a decent essay. Not everyone can become a professional author.

The way I understand it, there is a lot of controversy over whether or not crypto is a security. However, Insider Trading is a type of Fraud, and proving fraud does not require it to be insider trading and does not require crypto to be a se

The DoJ isn't prosecuting them for `Insider Trading`. It's prosecuting them for Wire Fraud against Coinbase. Wire Fraud doesn't require there be a security involved at all.

You know that feeling when you wake up in the morning, and the first thought in your head is the sound of the song that's been there for 3 days already? You must have been dreaming the song before you woke up!

Do we say that someone affected by this vulnerability got PWNed?

That's not intent, that's pretext. Pretext is the justification you tell people to get them to agree with your plan. Intent is the effect you actually want it to achieve, which you don't tell people. It is important to distin

Yes, I think XCOM difficulty is a great comparison for setting expectations.

It's not an easy game, but less punishing than a game like Darkest Dungeon, because it doesn't force you to play on Ironman. You can save and reload if you need to.

My favorite recent game with a triangle grid is Vagrus, a dark fantasy caravan management RPG. The number next to each line shows how many movement points it costs to travel that path. It makes it a little hard to see the visual style of th

Don't exclude the middle. Those people probably think it doesn't decrease productivity and morale, because those are already garbage regardless of what IT does.

You're right that an entire character is probably trademarkable because two similar logos are likely to be confused for each other, but I don't think that's enough. Disney may depict Mickey as a welder in some logo, but unles

by philipov 4y ago
Trademarks exist to eliminate confusion between competing products. Your welding service should not be confused with my welding service. Because Disney does not offer welding services, they are not competitors, and confusing one competing p

by philipov 4y ago
Even if that were possible, I think a trademark is only valid in the industry you're part of. So, if for example a welding company wanted to put Mickey Mouse on their sign, no reasonable person could confuse their products with Disne

Unless, as the game industry tends to be, every employer is awful, and you can get away with it because there is a lack of better offers for people to consider.

How is it any surprise that different people don't agree on this?

by philipov 4y ago
The people who approved the trademark probably didn't realize mochi is a word that means rice cake, rather than a random sequence of syllables. Since the US doesn't have an official language, it being a japanese word should pose n

But that's just an admission that the whole thing is going to be ran by a small unaccountable group that gets to decide everything. Direct Democratic governance can't function without high voter turn-out. If the system is set up a
