Oh, asking you directly. Yes, but not on ML. But we were looking for internet at the time, we hadn't come up with using an external service, yet.

Does anyone know what the actual claimed infringement is?

That'll probably be the death knell for Kafka. It'll encourage Amazon to fork it rather than sustain it.

ALthough it looks like Kafka remains under the solid Apache license. Only ADD ONs are getting a weird license.

Huawei Watch GT review: When hardware and software don’t mesh
Huawei's wearable OS could be great, but it doesn't fit this $230 smartwatch.
So what do the Huawei Watch GT and LiteOS have to offer? Essentially, the device is a simplified smartwatch that has all the hardware bells and whistles you'd expect from a a high-end Wear OS device or an Apple Watch—things like an AMOLED display, a continuous heart-rate monitor, an embedded GPS, and more. But in practice, its feature set and its real-world abilities don't exactly match its relatively high, $230 price tag.

Microsoft Still Can't Fix Broken Surface Update
Microsoft is reportedly replacing more Surface Pro 4 units suffering from a display issue caused by a mid-2018 firmware update.
The issue was first reported in July 2018 when the Surface Pro 4 received a firmware update supposed to bring a series of improvements. What this update did, however, was cause display issues like unresponsive touch, with lots of users confirming in a discussion thread on the Microsoft Community forums that no workaround repaired it.

Samsung Galaxy S10 Will Be Able To Charge Other Phones
Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy S10 is likely to come with a reverse wireless charging feature that would technically enable the phone to charge other devices too.
Powershare would basically make it possible for the S10 to wireless charge other devices just like a typical Qi wireless charger. Similar capabilities already exist on the Huawei Mate 20 Pro, and Samsung is expected to embrace the idea as well, especially as it’s trying to differentiate its products from Apple’s

Massive scale of Russian election trolling revealed in draft Senate report
Data shows messages tuned to support Trump, discourage opposition.
A report prepared for the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence (SSCI) due to be released later this week concludes that the activities of Russia's Internet Research Agency (IRA) leading up to and following the 2016 US presidential election were crafted to specifically help the Republican Party and Donald Trump. The activities encouraged those most likely to support Trump to get out to vote while actively trying to spread confusion and discourage voting among those most likely to oppose him. The report, based on research by Oxford University's Computational Propaganda Project and Graphika Inc., warns that social media platforms have become a "computational tool for social control, manipulated by canny political consultants, and available to politicians in democracies and dictatorships alike."

How computers got shockingly good at recognizing images
A landmark 2012 paper transformed how software recognizes images.
Right now, I can open up Google Photos, type "beach," and see my photos from various beaches I've visited over the last decade. I never went through my photos and labeled them; instead, Google identifies beaches based on the contents of the photos themselves. This seemingly mundane feature is based on a technology called deep convolutional neural networks, which allows software to understand images in a sophisticated way that wasn't possible with prior techniques.

CenturyLink blocked its customers’ Internet access in order to show an ad
Utah customers were booted offline until they acknowledged security software ad.
CenturyLink falsely claimed that it was required to do so by a Utah state law that says ISPs must notify customers "of the ability to block material harmful to minors." In fact, the new law requires only that ISPs notify customers of their filtering software options "in a conspicuous manner"; it does not say that the ISPs must disable Internet access until consumers acknowledge the notification. The law even says that ISPs may make the notification "with a consumer's bill," which shouldn't disable anyone's Internet access.
