Why is this relevant for understanding how the IP works or even tweaking it? Whatever is relevant for that matter will most certainly not be a modification to the Linux kernel that the android system is running. It will not fall under the GPL that the kernel is licensed under. Can someone explain why this dispute is worth having beyond a theoretical legal debate on whether they should hand out the particular source tree from which their kernel was built (if they even built it)?
I'm sorry you didn't get a response yet. I'm not a lawyer and have no legal training but it seems to boil down to this:
It's part of the debate of whether (1) GPL is a contract, (2) GPL can be enforced by non-parties, (3) How Fair Use applies, (4) Methods to bully/shame companies to give up source code ...? (5) Who the actual parties involved are if the actual rights holder (Linux Kernel) tries to sue someone. (First Sale doctrine might apply).
Probably a silly question, but if you take this all the way and treat everything as a DB that is synchronized in the background, how do you manage access control where not every user/client is supposed to have access to every object represented in the DB? Where does that logic go?
If you do it on the document level like figma or canvas, every document is a DB and you sync the changes that happen to the document but first you need access to the document/DB. But doesn't this whole idea break apart if you need to do access control on individual parts of what you treat as the DB because you would need to have that logic on the client which could never be secure...
The relative ease with which called-IDs can be spoofed seems to be one of the major "tools" with which scammers can gain the trust of their victims (or trick other systems into believing that they are the victim). Most of the non-technical folks I know will also more or less blindly trust a caller-ID.
Fortunately, many scammers (at least here in Europe) are still calling you claiming they are interpol following up on your Paypal account being breached whilst a +233... number shows on your phone.
Reading speed at that age will vary greatly. Reading subtitles while also having to follow the picture takes away focus and that makes it hard much harder for an inexperienced reader. My daughter, who picked up reading very naturally would have been able to follow sub-titles at age 7 without much trouble. My younger, 7-yo son on the other hand, who is more average in reading ability wouldn't be able to keep up with subtitles yet.
Average reading speeds at age 7 seem to be 60-100 words per minute where subtitles are more at the 100-150 words per minute range. So for above-average readers, it will be possible but for the average, they won't be able to keep up consistently.
I did experience the issue with an FIIO headphone DAC too. Basically, when connecting the device, the balance slider in audio settings would get initialized to what seemed to be a random value.
I am using several other audio interfaces (both USB and Thunderbolt) as well for music production/recording and I have never seen that issue with any of those devices. I suppose it is an interoperability problem between the USB audio class driver and core audio that only manifests for certain types of devices. Still, if it is common enough for people publishing apps to fix it, Apple should get it sorted out.
This actually vaguely rings the bell. I think it happened just a few times and because I quickly heard it I corrected the slider and did not pay attention at the time I suppose.
Don’t think it ever happened in DAW though, only when playing audio from OS.
In order to get close to how these might have tasted in Locke's time, one shouldn't be using modern white flour which is a 19th century development. Using (stone-milled) whole wheat might come closer to how things were in the 17th century. (Also better for your glucose levels)
If you want it on the cheap, go purchase Atta at your local Indian convinence store. Similar for stone milled cornflour (I've found Hispanic store prices have been going up lately compared to Asian stores)
Texture-wise it should be very different due to how the gluten will develop. Taste-wise you are probably right. It’s mostly a substrate for the butter and syrup.
The cover-band analogy isn't so great; the issue where a specific solution becomes a proxy for solving some problems that no one bothered to fully understand is real though. Describing problems and doing thorough discovery is hard and silver bullets are attractive. The cargo-cult analogy is quite fitting for a lot of hyped-up topics.
When you go to a car dealer and tell them your problem is getting from A to B, guess what their solution is going to be...
What I'm not getting: If Project Gutenberg is US based, how can they be dragged in front of a German court at all? How could a German court enforce anything on a US based entity? So couldn'd PG's response just have been to ignore the case? What would have happened then?
This is going to be a dumb question I fear...
If, as the article says, photons can't travel through a vacuum how are we able t see the stars (let alone distant galaxies)? Is it just because space isn't enough of full vacuum, or what am I missing?
I know it's not exactly HNewsy, but I felt the need to upvote this because, frankly, this made me smile and also I am highly sympathetic to this sentiment right now.
