They can force manufacturers to use unlocked bootloaders if they want the official Google version.
But hardly anyone is running the stock Android anyways. They've all expended on the code, and made it different. Almost no one actually uses the "official Google version" at all...
There's no reason whatsoever why Google can't make the same thing a requirement
But they can't because it's open source software. No one could make all of the Linux Distros use the same official kernel... it's not possible, because it's open source, and you can make it yourself.
and would prefer shipping a version of Android with no Google services
But this is already the case. Amazon and Barnes and Noble do not sell Android devices with Google services on them.
I don't get why people have such a difficult time understanding that Google can't wrangle these cats, because it doesn't have an Iron Fist on the source code...
I've never seen a true microkernel that has the performance of a monolithic kernel.
I've never seen a RISC processor that can match the performance of the best CISC processors. You know, nevermind the fact that tons of money has been poured into CISC processors making them faster and faster.
Sometimes, it's just a matter of where the attention has been placed.
Snowden released all of his information to journalists before he left the country.
The President finds that the unrestricted immigrant and nonimmigrant entry into the United States of aliens determined to meet one or more of the criteria in section 1(a) of this order
Snowden is both a resident and a citizen of the US. Yes, we revoked his passport, but we cannot revoke his citizenship without his consent. As a citizen, he cannot be blocked entry into the country. He can be detained indefinitely the second he enters the country, but we can't stop him from returning.
hy block people that contribute or materially represent "certain persons"? Is this to prevent Snowden...
For the last time, THIS EO DOESN'T APPLY TO SNOWDEN. *mumbles mumbles mumbles*
If a NAS is doing uPNP on purpose or is acting as a router, then the NAS manufacturer has an obligation to provide appropriate guidance to their users.
INDEED! If they screw that up, it's bad, and they should be the ones holding the responsibility if it accidentally exposes data that they don't want exposed through uPnP... no one else is able to properly infer the right thing to do.
Yeah, my OpenBSD machine specifically refuses to do uPnP as well, because "security"... I've looked into getting some sort of uPnP working... but in the end, I'm just like, "nah... it makes my life a little bit more of a pain, but at least I know what ports are open"
Wait... Google provides your cellphone directly? How did you get on their corporate plan?
Or are you talking about those Nexuses that are provided by a different carrier, and as such that carrier retains the right to do whatever they want to the OSS Android underneath?
You know... because Google can't just go on to the Verizon/T-Mobile/AT&T/Sprint network and update everyone's phone. The provider provides the specific Android build.
And that's why they can't update all the devices at once. Because everyone and their mother can develop their own kernel, and their own Android for their platform.
Now, if everyone just ran AOSP, then Google would be fine to update everyone at the same time.
yeah, you'll probably deserved get indexed by Google.
deservedly*
But not only that, it's not like Google can infer intent to share the data... you put it out there, and Google said, "hey, this is publically available, obviously people want this to be indexed!"
There's no adequate way to fix this either, because if it's opt-in, then unknowing individuals will fail to opt-in for indexing... if it's opt-out, then unknowing individuals will fail to properly opt-out (robots.txt for example)
If you put up private data publically on the internet then you simply have to accept the fact that no one else could have known that you didn't want to share the data...
You've likely heard of Memegen, the internal Google meme forum?
Yeah, that comic is a template, and regularly gets rolled out for random things that we were told to focus on... like "self-driving cars" or "nest" or "ionosphere skydiving VPs"
Also, it says that the actors must be outside of the United States. Remind me again, but Snowden did all of his stuff inside of the United States, right?
As usual, non-lawyers read something think it means something that makes them upset, and it spreads and no one actually sits down to read the actual law.
The report does note that the public at large is unlikely to receive any particularly dangerous exposure... this is more just for the workers, which to be fair, should be limiting their exposure to it in the first place. It's well known that it can cause health effects if mixed without any respirator coveralls etc..
Just because it requires a respirator and "clean suit" to spray it and mix it, doesn't mean that it's dangerous to the consumer... it just means that those people are the most likely to experience chronic meaningful exposure.
Except that people don't actually interpret the sentences that way.
You're bringing logic to a syntax fight...;)
If it is intended to actually double negate, then emphasis is used, "I said, I don't have NO books." This lifts the word up for consideration of special usage. And it is used this way in users of both positive and negative Negative Agreement... "I don't have any books. I don't have NO books." "I don't have no books. I don't have NO books."
Otherwise, all negative words in a clause are just glomped all together. Which is why "I don't think, that he didn't do it." tends to still double negate, even without emphasis... Even people who use negative Negative Agreement, would likely say "I don't think he did it."
Oh, one can totally learn about English grammar just by studying English grammar. But in many ways as our native language we're "too close" to it. People find it difficult to learn the distinction of a noun and a verb, because we just use English grammar, we don't think ABOUT English grammar.
It's a lot like breathing. We can think about breathing, and study the way breathing works, but in the end, from our perspective we just breathe automagically.
The formal register. Which unlike colloquial English has a number of stupid rules like "no double negatives" that don't actually make sense linguistically, but if you're in formal writing, you better use it, because if someone comes across it, they will immediately recognize you as lacking proper education in the formal register.
Some others immediately jump from "lack of proper education in the formal register" to "stupid" or "half-witted" or "redneck", but I do not ascribe to that opinion.
Either way, you write to your audience, and the formal English register has determined these stupid rules to be distinguishing and defining features...
Which was kind of my point. German formal writing prefers this construction, whereas in English, the formal writing rules tend to prefer extremely flat sentences... "There was a woman, who gave a striped ball. She...."
Thanks for the gestreiften use though. I maybe would have thought of that if I weren't intentionally seeking to construct stilted formal written German...
When the US constitution talks of "pursuit of happiness" it isn't meant "happiness" as we know it today. They had the same sort of ambiguity at the time between luck/happiness/joy... and what do you know? fortune also means luck.
If it were being rewritten in modern English the intent was "pursuit of fortune/wealth"
Slashdot Mirror
The main reason CISC is faster today is probably more related capital investment needed in production. Intel just have so much more.
This was basically what I was trying to say. More capital investment typically means better outcomes.

As noted by the sibling post. Bing already does do this. And it's the right thing to do.
But that's the provider's problem, isn't it?

Indeed... Apple didn't make the first MP3 player... they just ended up making a new one that obsoleted all the others with features.
Some mothers also could run circles around you talking about the internet...

Actual Executive Order
Nothing there says criminal penalties.
Also, it says that the actors must be outside of the United States. Remind me again, but Snowden did all of his stuff inside of the United States, right?

You know, like how you can back out once you get an appraisal and learn that there are termites.

Silly! How would that channel extra funds to NIST?

Because NIST developed the "Common view time transfer using the GPS system"...
Because NIST has a finger in everything having to do with measurement?
Clearly, you'll never be a politician, son!

I tend to prefer Glücklich for happy. But then I have learned a somewhat archaic form of German, due to the state of US textbooks...
When the US constitution talks of "pursuit of happiness" it isn't meant "happiness" as we know it today. They had the same sort of ambiguity at the time between luck/happiness/joy ... and what do you know? fortune also means luck.
If it were being rewritten in modern English the intent was "pursuit of fortune/wealth"
English also compounds words. We just write them with spaces in between.
"Baseball field" for one. German chooses to put the words together into one, English chooses to put a space in between them.
But either way, spoken-wise, they're a series of nouns all in a row.
