Salesforce has twice the revenue than LinkedIn and is publicly traded. At what point does a startup stop being a startup?

Big companies definitely care a lot more about these things than universities or "small-time researchers". I've been in long meetings with corporate lawyers at multiple big companies, and they are a lot more careful than you

One way to protect yourself is buying licenses to images from a service that provides legal indemnification. Part of the reason why stock image websites can earn money is that they provide this, so (at least part of) the risk is with them.

In addition to the concern that copyright doesn't necessarily cover personality rights, you can not assume that just because someone uploaded an image to Flickr as CC-BY that they had the right to do so, in a lot of cases they do not (

How on earth are trial versions bad user experience? My #1 wish when I browse an app store would be to look for apps (especially games) that offer trial versions. I don't want to try games that shove ads down your throat or monetize th

I'm not sure about "severe consequences". If you compare Switzerland (where, although the government now recommends masks in public transport at least but almost nobody does wear a mask) and Austria (where wearing masks while

If it was about being able to spam, they'd just silently strip the + part. I think it's just ignorance ... in my own mailserver I have a custom separator that usually doesn't trip validation functions.

That is not what I get from this page. > These deaths could represent misclassified COVID-19 deaths, or potentially could be indirectly related to COVID-19 (e.g., deaths from other causes occurring in the context of health care shortages

The article seems only to focus on what happens if you lose your ways to authenticate, but another possibility is getting caught in some weird ban wave like spamming emotes on a youtube stream when the streamer asks you to ( https:/&#x

I doubt that you can measure this already, it has only been two days (also when the lockdown started it took over a week until the effect was visible). That's why at least some countries want to take it slow, after each small step you

That's kind of incompatible with the critique 2 posts up. They asked if we could have "false positive" deaths because dead people with covid-like symptoms are labeled as covid deaths even when they are not tested (e.g. after

Lockdown until you can get back to containment (drive infection numbers so low that you have the resources to trace/test contacts and send possible infections into quarantine). "Everyone becomes immune" will take longer than

I disagree that a flat case count is positive. That strategy is essentially a bet on others failing to contain the virus. If you assume 90% of infections go undetected, you're looking at 2+ years until you reach 60% of immune people (1

Putting Switzerland and Sweden in the same bucket here isn't fair, IMO. In Switzerland, most things were closed down like in our neighbor countries (some things are reopening now, but still very limited). A difference was that while ot

If you don't trust the app to not localize/track you, you also don't want to give it BT permissions. BT on its own is enough to localize/track you pretty well in cities, which was one of the reasons people didn't li

There will be patches. Ubuntu 18.04 LTS shipped with 2.7 and is supported until 2023. RHEL 7 shipped with 2.7 and is supported until 2024. What will be interesting to see is if there will be a "standard" fork that everybody pulls

Where did I say the primary purpose was to prevent infecting yourself? It doesn't help if they reduce transmission, if they increase the risk of infection at a greater rate. "It never lands on that surface to begin with." is

Do you have a source for "It's a fact that wearing masks is slowing down the spread by as much as 80%."? There's studies that measure the amount of droplets/aerosol that gets through but I haven't seen any stud

Camera quality is the easy problem. The hard problems are getting camera latency down and dealing with depth of field and all the other things you lose when you replace the incoming light field with camera images.
