That Samsung copied Apple is no longer in dispute. The court has ruled that they did on these 3 design patents and 2 utility patents (I don't remember how many patents Apple originally claimed they had infringed) and Samsung has already exhausted or given up its appeals on that. The question now is how much is Apple entitled to for that infringement. For the two utility patents, there seems to be no dispute that $5M is the right ballpark, but for the 3 design patents - 1. a shiny blank rounded rectangle front face, 2. A tapered bezel, speaker hole and button, 3. a grid of icons on a screen (one of 139 screenshots in the design patent at issue) - the amount of $539M (Samsung's profit on the disputed products was $399M) is a bit ridiculous. Samsung actually prevailed in this case in getting the first two patents limited to the portion of the phone that was included in the design patent, not the whole phone, but somehow this jury came up with a bigger figure than the previous amount that was based on the whole phone infringing. And apparently since they can't see where the software physically applies to, the icons are still judged to apply to the whole phone (Samsung was trying to argue that only the display should be included).
Hopefully it doesn't come down to the court deciding between the two, and they can accept that both the prank callers and the police need to face up to the consequences of their actions here.
And voting for UN security council resolution 2231 was a strange way of showing that you never agreed with the deal. You can complain about the kindergarten you call congress refusing to support anything and everything Obama did all you like, at the UN, we expect you to send qualified adults that can make decisions befitting their position within your administration.
Is this just Facebook giving the finger to the GDPR? Every other website is tightening their privacy policies and taking more care over the data they collect and Facebook goes off in the opposite direction.
It's a new algorithm to calculate the same checksum. It doesn't break compatibility with anything.
FLAC and Vorbis reference decoders are both lacking any processor specific optimizations, so a new checksum algorithm is only a fraction of the potential for optimization. For Vorbis, there is Tremor as an alternative, which does have some ARM specific optimization, but for FLAC the reference codec is all there is.
The Instagram account of the Iranian Foreign Minister on 2 Sept 2015 says otherwise.
It wasn't a "signed agreement" in terms of "sign on the dotted line". But it was in writing, and to demonstrate their commitment, the participants signed the cover sheet. There was also a legally binding security council resolution after that, which meant the US-Israeli government needed to manufacture some evidence before pulling out.
Outside the US, we do not see the agreement as a verbal political commitment by a US president, but as a written agreement signed by the US Secretary of State in his capacity as official government representative of a permanent member of the UN security council.
Regardless of how widely the amber alert is broadcast, there's no need for the siren. Just send a message to the phone. Keep the siren for incoming North Korean missiles, tsunami's, tornados and the like where everyone needs to take immediate action to ensure their own safety.
The license fee is a one time per household fee that covers all broadcast media. If you own a TV, or use a PC, tablet, smartphone etc to watch broadcast TV stations online, you should be already paying for the license that covers listening to DAB. And if not, I think the "radio only" license was dropped decades ago.
Where the rules are simple and well understood, a custom program is always going to outperform AI (even if the AI comes up with the same solution, it is going to expend a lot more energy doing so). AI is good for problems that are too difficult to write rules for, or where humans themselves can't really separate the causation from correlation. We are currently in the overhyped phase of AI development, give it a few years to find its niches.
I figured they must be up to some new shenanigans this week with their app when the web interface got bumped into a new level of unusable. It's quite painful to watch a company commit slow suicide like this. If I was inclined to launch a new social networking site, I might just pick now as the timing to do it.
I listened to it first on my phone's crappy speaker, and still heard Laurel. So I posted on my friend's facebook that I heard Yanny, just to troll her. I figured everyone else who "heard" Yanny was doing the same.
Even with the NYT slider, I just hear it getting distorted until right up the end it is so distorted that the L sounds at either end disappear. To me it sounds more like "Gary" than "Yanny"

On the second of the two times he says it, I hear some distinct noise in the high frequencies that comes just before the start of the word. I imagine it is the timing of that that causes some people with narrow bandwidth hearing to lock in on the high frequencies and mishear the word.
The norm has been successfully moved from insecure to secure. Even slashdot, which in 2018 is still way behind on ÃUÃnÃiÃcÃoÃdÃe adoption, is using https. Originally the Secure indicator was indicating that the site you were on was abnormally safe. Now they need to mark the abnormally unsafe (and hopefully still mark the Extended Validation sites as abnormally safe), since the default is now safe.
Thunderbird keeps its mail folders in standard mbox format. It also has additional files in its own private format (seems to be some form of XML) for tracking meta information about messages, but other mail clients can easily import or read the mbox files.
WiFi Alliance adds interoperability. Complying with the IEEE standard does not guarantee that, as the current situation with mesh networks, and the mid-1990s wireless networking situation demonstrate. There are too many optional things for the standard to cover, so until someone makes some standard subsets with conformance tests, no two manufacturers are going to implement things the same way.
3. Politicians need to realize that their kneejerk actions have diplomatic consequence, and they're probably going to be forced to eat their words later.
They [Android] use busybox to provide the typical userland utilities
Since marshmallow they use toybox rather than busybox. I think even before that there was a minimal subset of commands needed by init etc, which they had implemented under a BSD license, and busybox was installed on development builds only to give a full set of command-line tools to developers.
Do you purposely avoid saying WIndows too, because the Windows OS code is also dwarfed by the applications you install on it? GNU gets credit because they provide the essential userspace libraries and tools that make GNU/Linux a POSIX compliant operating system, and not just a kernel that is useless on its own.

The US never agreed to the Iran deal. And Iran never signed the deal anyway, so...
What's that in the top left corner then?

Better yet, put the messaging back into the mobile website and let everyone use their web browser instead of a handful of apps.

So another reason why private prisons would want to reduce contact with families.
Yes but which mail client do you use in emacs. There are about a dozen.

Apart from the Wi-Fi Alliance, which other alliances and standards bodies formed around two decades ago?
WiFi Alliance adds interoperability. Complying with the IEEE standard does not guarantee that, as the current situation with mesh networks, and the mid-1990s wireless networking situation demonstrate. There are too many optional things for the standard to cover, so until someone makes some standard subsets with conformance tests, no two manufacturers are going to implement things the same way.
