It's time to reveal all recommendation algorithms – by law if necessary
Friday 14th April 2023 01:03 GMT 
It has become a legal issue already
Many lawyers are now going to court over the use of algorithms to violate discrimination laws (racial, economic and gender) and regulations.
The same old games are being played on the people, just being hidden behind algorithms now.
This is also at the forefront of AI issues. Just a new way to discriminate without being caught.

There is a lot to dislike about Chinese society
But holding executives feet to the fire is not one of them.
Lucky them. In previous times (IIRC not even a decade ago) they would have been executed. Not even joking. I think they still do if fraud is involved.
Or, to use the old catchphrase (meme for you hipsters) they would have been soooo fired.

How insecure is America's FirstNet emergency response system? Seriously, anyone know?

Re: FirstNet Customer
I’m not shocked that it’s held together with string and duct tape.
Having worked for att for a very short time doing I.T. support to the field techs, if you only knew HOW bad it was, you would run screaming for the hills and then drink yourself to death.
It's a goddamn miracle it works at all.

Microsoft stumps loyal fans by making OneDrive handle Outlook attachments
Monday 10th April 2023 04:04 GMT
Oh dear god
Effin MS. Effin, bleeping MS.
365 was shit from day one. One Drive, annoying and pretty much useless.
And now they've combined them.
But how is this news? I noticed right away last year that in 365, that the ONLY two download options for an attachment was One Drive or the download folder. That's it. NO OTHER OPTIONS. You cannot select any place else, or folder, or anything. OneDrive or your download folder. Period.
Thank god I still had the older Outlook working. But I have to run BOTH instances at once. Why? Because 365 and the old Outlook do different things and my co-workers have no clue.

How Arm aims to squeeze device makers for cash rather than pocket pennies for cores
Monday 27th March 2023 23:05 GMT
Re: This is what Qualcomm does (or at least did)
I'm quite sure the people in the ARM exec offices understand this.
What makes you so sure? Because El Reg is pretty much based on many, many C Suite boneheaded decisions and outright crime. There are literally thousands of example of the CxOs doing really stupid things right here.
Publishers land killer punch on Internet Archive in book copyright court battle
Monday 27th March 2023 22:38 GMT
Re: "Killer punch"? - no, gasoline for self-immolation by copyright 'rentiers'
At one time, copyright was a civil matter and only enforceable per each nation's varying laws.
Over time, the large corps put increasing pressure on foreign nations to conform their laws to the USA's. At the same time, they also pushed to criminalize copyright violations and, here's the kicker, lengthen the term of the copyright. All the while DECREASING the royalties to the actual author/artists.
And here we are.
However, the U.S. Constitution is rather vague about the length of time a copyright should last, saying only that it is "limited". Most rational people wold not consider 100 years, limited.
The same thing has happened with patent rights as well.
Rentier economics, indeed. Perhaps we can just eat more cake.
