- I thought they were suggesting it was a government body (an FBI operation)
- They priced me out of a subscription.
£15 a month in the UK for an online chess game is crazy.
I've paid for 3 months but this is my last.
I'm only interested in Game review, but there are about 50 other sub-categories on their site that i don't use.
Only their top tier of membership provides game review and to be honest it's not even that good.
The game review is about the top 'computer' move, not what a human should do, and not one at my elo or to advance my elo.
- PuTTY's use of an antiquated website, bizzarro url and difficult to find binaries has created trust issues for no apparent good reason.
- "it is prudent that the cost of maintaining Black Start Capability should demonstrate value to the end consumer"
That sounds like someone explaining why the solution is so bad, before describing what the solution is.
- > Also it is irrelevant of whether publisher earns 75% or 30% of the total revenue. What matters is how much they are earning compared to the next best alternative.
Not if Google illegally monopolizes the market unfairly hindering 'the next best alternative'.
> Google is not a "monopoly" in this space.
You've made that comment on a post where a judge has ruled "Google is illegally monopolizing"...
> In fact the world has far too many Google equivalents but absolutely no one comes close to Google in generating top dollars for publishers.
They have not been able to compete in a fair market.
This comment has some great examples.. https://www.hackerneue.com/item?id=43719246
- > It was argued that this approach allows Google to charge higher prices to advertisers while sending less revenue to publishers such as news websites.
It could depend on how they 'limit the number of bidders'. If they sell seats to be able to bid, then the bids are lower to account for that, and publishers get a share of the bid, not the fee bidders pay. I'm guessing though...
- what about that does not make sense for you?...
- Isn't that true of anything?
At renewal software provider X might hike license fees for Y to an unreasonable fee, or decide you're not worth the time at all.
I assume you can get a commercial license at any point, not only after you reach X revenue too?
- I guess he feels the picture would be 'cooler' if the background was removed and AI has made image manipulation readily available to the masses.
Would you have the same reaction if he said ~"photoshop the background out"?
- look at the right hand edge of the photo to put his comment in perspective.
- I found it interesting that when the UK was part of the EU, the Isle of Man was not, but because they held British Passports, the people of the Isle of Man were EU citizens.
- Once had a very awkward conversation with a sales person in PC World.
I had been given a old retired server from work to take home and learn with... only problem was it had no USB.
I was asking for a PS2 keyboard, he said they don't sell them but I could use any USB keyboard, I told him I don't have any USB ports and I needed a PS2 keyboard.
After awhile of him going back and forth with his manager, only to return to tell me i can use USB, It turned out he thought I was trying to buy a Play Station 2 keyboard and he'd never heard of PS/2!
- > Once 23andMe gets sold, all of that data belongs to whoever owns it and they can sell it to whoever they want.
Why would a company being sold mean that the data can be used for a purpose it previously couldn't?
- > This failed, so they've needed to pivot somewhat to reduce their load.
Or it worked, and now through free tier limitations they get more people sign-up and more people taking paid subs
- An attacker would have to both compromise the police database AND Apple to retrieve the data.
The Key could even be split, say 3 ways. Apple holds 1 piece, the police hold another, and the Courts hold the third, all three would be needed to decrypt the data.
This is too far in to the weeds though.
It is not beyond humanities ability to have a system as secure as ADP while still providing a mechanism to access terrorists phones for example.
- I'm not suggesting Apple should be able to see the content, I'm saying the Police should be able to, when they have a valid court order issued in accordance with the legislation.
For example, A 'Personal Recovery Key' could be recorded in a police database. To gain access to 'encrypted' data from Apple, a court order is needed, once they have the encrypted data, they can unencrypt it using the key only they hold.
There's lots of ways to skin a cat.
- malicious compliance.
Providing access when ordered by a court is not as secure so we're removing all encryption?
- Is there any licence constraints?
I.e Docker terms of service restrict distribution in this way?
Is there any technical restraints?
I.e Docker specify no-cache
I expect Docker don't want their images cached and would want you to use their service and transform you in to a paying subscriber through limitations on free tier.
