krautsourced··on AWS icon quiz
Because they are cool internet people and you are not.
krautsourced··on Internet Archive, decentralized
Look, feel and content-wise this feels a lot like the internet of the 90s...
krautsourced··on Free-range parenting outside the US
Nobody in that article hinted towards children having the party on their own, of course it's the host parents who are watching them.
krautsourced··on Getting 1Password 7 ready for the Mac App Store
After using (and loving and having paid for) 1P for years, I moved over to Enpass a year or so ago. Their clients are not as good as 1P's, but I simply neither want a subscription based service (what happens if they are bought / go under), nor do I want my passwords to reside on their servers (encrypted or not).
krautsourced··on Germany adopts first ethics standards for autonomous driving systems
The proposal for the latter has already been hollowed out in such a way that the likelihood of any customer actually being able to sue a company is rather slim. Only a narrow band of customer representatives are even allowed to sue. And it's going to be exclusive, meaning the first one to sue locks out everyone else for good. So if your company fucks up? Get some stooge to sue and fail, before anyone else gets a chance.
krautsourced··on Google News to be revamped, incorporate YouTube videos and magazines
Same here. I use http://newstral.com now. It's "just" a headline aggregator, but a very good one. Been recommending it to everyone who wants a quick overview over how different news outlets treat the same news...
krautsourced··on YouTube networks drop thousands of creators as YouTube policy shifts
I'm curious: currently I'm sure Youtube relies on the "Safe Harbour" clauses to not be liably for what people post. But once they actively curate the content (and not just for Terms of Service violation but for actual content), does this not mean they would lose this protection?
krautsourced··on Co-living in London: Friendship, fines and frustration
My entire time in the UK I've lived in flatshares - out of sheer necessity due to the ridiculous rent prices. This "co-living" space is no exception in that respect. Only somehow they manage to spin it as "hip" to live in a shoebox for 1000£ a month. This is just making money off of the dire housing situation, imho, by squeezing the maximum amount of people into a building.

It's probably fine for short term tennants who just need a place to sleep after work ("bedsits" that are being offered in the city are at least as expensive).

Now, mind you, having lived in flatshares for over 12 years, I've grown to hate it with a passion, so maybe I'm totally wrong here (doubt it).

krautsourced··on Eventbrite UA claims right to film, distribute users events
As I understand it, no.
krautsourced··on Eventbrite UA claims right to film, distribute users events
No, "hereunder" is the magic word here (as I see it). It should only apply to those recordings done by Eventbrite themselves under these terms, not yours. Still, good luck having an artist sign that some third party (Eventbrite) may potentially record them without recompense.
krautsourced··on Eventbrite UA claims right to film, distribute users events
You may want to take a look at 9 (b) of their Terms of Service then... you agree to arbitration or small claims court max. But of course you could have opted out of that (9 (i)) - if you knew that you had to do it within the first 30 days of using Eventbrite. Too late now.
krautsourced··on Eventbrite UA claims right to film, distribute users events
Well they managed to translate it into different languages, with each version probably having been approved by that country's legal counsel, so I would think it highly unlikely that nobody noticed the broadness of the terms.
krautsourced··on Eventbrite UA claims right to film, distribute users events
Btw. for Germany it' 10.1 and 10.2 here: https://www.eventbrite.de/support/articles/de/Troubleshootin...
krautsourced··on Eventbrite UA claims right to film, distribute users events
This is my favourite line: "You are responsible for obtaining, at your own cost, all third party permissions, clearances, and licenses necessary to secure Eventbrite the permissions and rights described above, and you represent that you have done so."

Licensed some background music for your event for that specific use? Think again, from now on you have to license everything for worldwide, unlimited use, just in case Eventbrite wants to maybe make a buck off of it.

krautsourced··on My Python Development Environment, 2018 Edition
A rather simple practical example I'm working on right now: moving a Django app from 1.9 to 2.0. There are a few code breaking changes in 2.0. All I need to do is create a new virtualenv with Django 2.0 and I can just switch between both versions simply by changing the environment. I may even need to change some further packages that do not work with 2.0 yet and swap them for something else. I can do that in the new env. Then, when all is working, I export a requirements.txt from my virtual env and can quickly set up the very same virtual env on my production machine.
krautsourced··on How Blockchain Could Kill Both Cable and Netflix
How does content distribution in any way relate to blockchains? If there's a point here, I seem to be missing it entirely.
krautsourced··on The Fight for Patent-Unencumbered Media Codecs Is Nearly Won
Any word on the current state of encoding speeds? From what I remember of VP9, it was very, very slow in comparison to e.g. H.264/H.265.
krautsourced··on Fast nnn file browser v1.6 released
Forklift is nice as well
krautsourced··on The Q# Programming Language
I have not heard a single person here (Berlin) pronounce any of the # languages "is"-anything. Everyone I know just calls it C-Sharp.
krautsourced··on Nvidia Announces “Titan V” Video Card: GV100 for $3000
GPU rendering. It's pretty much all CUDA, with very few exceptions.
krautsourced··on Nvidia Announces “Titan V” Video Card: GV100 for $3000
Even if it just were DDR4 (which of course it is not) - have you looked at RAM prices recently? 128GB will cost you upwards of 1000$ alone. I don't even want to think how much 128gb DDR5 or HBM2 (if it did exist) would cost you... about the current price of the card, probably.

krautsourced··on Trump Strategic and Policy Forum, Which Included IBM and GM CEOs, Disbands
I know. I just found it amusing to read it like that. And even though using the term "both sides" has now become tricky, I think indeed left and right have done their fair share to make it come to the situation we are in, with constant hyperbole and hysteria and grandstanding in the media, rather than discussing issues (which probably still happens, one would hope, but it does not make it to the front pages any more).
krautsourced··on Trump Strategic and Policy Forum, Which Included IBM and GM CEOs, Disbands
Wait - aren't you exactly describing identity politics?
krautsourced··on MPC-HC v1.7.13 is released and farewell
I've used MPC for quite a while in the past, but have since moved to https://potplayer.daum.net/

It's super feature rich, with (in my opinion) a much nice interface than e.g. VLC.

krautsourced··on Why Flamingos Are More Stable on One Leg Than Two
I assume that's less about your legs being flamingo-like, and more about the way our hips work. You almost never stand around putting equal weight on both legs, when you stand you usually favour one or the other leg, with your body leaning over ever so slightly to balance the weight over that leg.
krautsourced··on London Rent vs. London Salaries
I wanted to say Berlin until you got to the climate part...
krautsourced··on New Distros Coming to Bash/WSL via Windows Store
Does the new update fix it working with Windows Firewall? So far it was all or nothing, you could not block any processes seperately that were running within the subsystem. I assume that has not changed?
krautsourced··on Bose headphones spy on listeners: lawsuit
Highly misleading headline (though I'm appalled by the apps' data collection as well). The headline suggests (and it was why I initially clicked it) that the noise-cancelling microphones listened on the user and transmitted those recordings to Bose. Now _that_ what be a proper scandal.
krautsourced··on Flex
flexlm also is one of the most common license management tools.
