If Bandcamp were to try such a move they would destroy the value of their business overnight. Retroactively changing the agreement with your customers about their IP is the best way to permanently destroy trust.

AFAIK it was not broken? The update broke the camera recognition for the code. But you were able to type it in manually.

Unity lacks good technical direction. They are wasting so much money building and rebuilding the same features over and over again, or on half baked features that aren’t useful to 99% of their user base like DOTS.

In the recent past, US banks were found to have specifically designed software to calculate how to best re-order customer transactions to maximise overdraft fees. Banks also generally make it hard/impossible to opt out of overdraft, so

Same region locking nonsense there is every launch on the Google store. I understand you aren't selling this in my region, but not even letting me look at the product is super frustrating.

This is a misguided attempt that will fail - all signing the image in camera does is verify that those pixels were sent by the camera sensor. It’s trivial to work around this and create inauthentic signed images by staging a fake scene, or

And yet in spite of this the majority of abusive traffic we receive is from Hetzner. What’s the point of these draconian identity measures if criminals are abusing others through your service anyway?

This issue doesn’t apply to the iPhone 7 yet given that that device received the iOS 15 update in 2021. For all the talk this “disposable hardware” and “planned obsolescence” issue is much more a problem on Android.

It’s also politically hard, in that the organisations best positioned to build these attribution tools have large incentives not to do so.

This analogy isn’t quite right, it’s more like if you trained a font generation AI using commercially licensed fonts, or trained a literature generating model on samples of copyrighted fiction. The part that matters is that the model is bei

The end result of this is going to be human identity verification provided by a centralized party. Either the government or a big private corp, not sure which is worse.

Keep in mind that in some cases ferry travel only makes sense because the ferry can also carry passenger vehicles/trucks with freight. But like an airplane this new vehicle is passenger only.

The reason iMessage has been successful (and RCS has not) is because iMessage doesn't have any reliance on the carrier. Selling a messaging system to carriers doesn't make any sense, why cooperate with them when it's easier t

Not in a market that we sell to means you aren't even allowed to look at the product? I recall this being a problem years ago on the Google store, but it's still a thing? Apple lets me look at the store of any country I want. And

The solution to this is to make the build process as simple as possible. Then pushing updates has a much lower maintenance cost. I can be confident I will be able to build >90% of go programs by cloning the repo and calling go build.

It's the same risk profile to the FDIC (risk as in the the risk that they have to pay out on the insurance). Unless you change the overall weighting of deposits between banks the total covered deposits at risk per bank is the same in b

Imagine a world where this splitting is normal. If SVB depositors had split their deposits up and stored them at other banks, other banks depositors would have done the same and split their deposits up - and stored some of them at SVB. So f

It makes things marginally safer for you as a depositor because of how the FDIC insurance is structured. But it doesn't meaningfully reduce the FDIC's risk as the deposit insurer: 1000 businesses, 10 (same size) banks Scenario A:
