Last year I uploaded some old footage onto Youtube.. the footage was from WW2 that was filmed by US Gov. I saved it from a site that went down in 2000s and wanted to put it up for my cousin who was studying WW2 in HS.

In less than 24 hours, there were 4 different copyright claims by various companies. Over a 20 min clip. They obviously didn't own the copyright but they were claiming the clip as their own and wanted cuts of revenue.

About two years ago I uploaded an animation that I did in Apple Motion and it used stock sounds and music from Apple. Within a day of upload, I received a copyright claim by some company and they demanded I remove audio.

From my brief experience with Youtube/Google's Content ID system and the way they do business, I'm really glad I don't have to deal with this mafia on a daily basis.

Geode also understands Redis protocol, so you can point your Redis clients to Geode.
This is interesting because the problem with Redis data structures is that they cannot scale beyond the memory available to the Redis server. The further limitation that Redis server is single threaded and cannot really be scaled up, only makes the problem worse.

With Geode your Redis data structures can scale horizontally.
Yes, its illegal. There are plenty of cases where members of organized crime families (stand in for terrorists) have been convicted of illegal activities which harmed other members of the same or different organized crime family.

That said, if you do it under the guise of an intelligence operation then its ok apparently. Also you would be bound by jurisdictional laws, so if you did that in international waters I'm guessing you could make a case for it not being an issue.

Further, I doubt anyone would try to prosecute you for pulling a fast one on terrorists, but the terrorist organization is by definition one that doesn't respect the rule of law, borders, or individual human rights, so the lack of prosecution would be the least of your worries.
Yeah this was a while ago. ;) My experience was that zmodem was incredibly fast under real-world conditions. It really was like getting a speed boost on your 300 or 1200 baud (or 2400 baud, if you were lucky!) pipe. Anyone remember xmodem or ymodem as well?

EDIT: I didn't realize he'd written ymodem as well! What a brilliant guy.
The most basic answer is that the "shareholders" are the owners of the business. Shareholders do think "long-term" in the sense that they believe their capital could achieve better returns in other areas and hence the desire to "cash out".

They stand to profit regardless. USPS actually makes their lives easier. UPS/FedEx would be taking on a huge expense trying to properly service remote (rural) areas to the level of the USPS. If they can sit on top of it via partnerships (FedEx, at least, already makes use of USPS for last-mile delivery on some delivery tiers), they can focus on their high population density and global logistics business instead.

As a healthy, single, white male who hasn't had a threatening reason to visit a doctor, This. I probably wouldn't have health insurance right now if it weren't for the Affordable Care Act (even though my employer pays most of it). Sure that could bite me in the ass if something were to happen to me, but I'm comfortable with that risk and have family to help me out. There's no good reason for me to "outsource" my healthcare options.
> but you'd better design your systems to deal with it, rather than pretend that it's possible to stop it.

Ah, but see, no one cares what I think when designing systems. I'm just another programmer, you know?

The systems I get to design are things like: my career, my marriage, how I raise my kids.

And the sensible adaptations of my systems to unbounded immigration are: improve my lot, possibly at the expense of society's (making a bigger pie doesn't make sense if that simply attracts more pie eaters), prize relative status over absolute wealth (for the same reason), carry a gun, decrease my investment in society and retain options for moving abroad (same reason), and work hard to afford expensive real estate near "good schools" to send my children to elite colleges---elite you understand, not good enough, because with enough people, good enough, isn't.

And this is all antisocial behavior, and I don't really like it, and perhaps I will find a way to refrain from most of it and die in my bed in Oakland after ten years of philanthropy, surrounded by not only my multilingual grandchildren who, by dint of the virtues of hard work, collaboration, and generosity that I've taught, have managed to find their places in society, but also the neighborhood youths that I've mentored, Gran Torino style. That is the outcome I would be urged to pursue, and the one I personally find most fulfilling.

But: perhaps my neighbor Steve the auto mechanic is not so insufferably capable as I am, and feels betrayed by his country. What Steve feels is his due is loyalty, which means: discrimination. If loyalty to a company means that you stay there when you perhaps get a better offer from another, loyalty to a citizenry means that you favor its interests over some other body of people. And I do not get the sense that proponents of mass immigration favor the interests of the citizenry over migrants. I am happily ensconced at my well-paying tech job, so I will be OK---but what about Steve? What does he tell his kids when a Mexican (by pure chance---it could have been white, but this time, it wasn't) kid bullies them at school? Does he feel a moral obligation to consider the other child's interests? Is he likely to have a calm chat with the other child's parents?

What I am saying is: "You need to design your systems to deal with it" is equivalent to saying, "Fuck you," and while the moral and civilized response to "Fuck you" is "Have a nice day, sir," there are many who will not be able to afford that answer. Instead, they'll say "Fuck you." And (without the insulting meaning I ascribed to it earlier) you need to design your systems to deal with that.
It's a nice sentiment, and I wish we could live in such a world. Unfortunately, this approach opens up the field for some rather obscene exploitation of prevalent biases of reasoning that even educated people are susceptible to.

You think they don't know they're doing it wrong? Of course they know they're doing it wrong. They do it anyway because they think it's worth it to them.

I'm curious about your statement that "I just care that they do it legally and the two countries know about it." I understand the first part, but why do the two countries need to know about it? If the country they're entering has decided it would be OK for people to enter without telling them, what would be wrong with that? And why should the country they're leaving from have to know anything?
One of the arguments I've commonly heard against a ban like this is that pharmaceutical companies need to market their products because of the cost developing new drugs. However, this has turned into a strategy of expanding the medical uses of already approved drugs and then marketing the "new uses".

Tylenol is the perfect example of this. Everyone "knows" that it reduces the risk of heart attacks, because of the marketing campaigns. But what most people don't know is how little of an impact Tylenol actually makes.

In the US, the consumer drives a lot of the healthcare decisions.

This has positives, as consumers can be more active participants in their health, but can also lead to people shopping for doctors who will prescribe the drugs that they want based on flimsy research and marketing.

Additionally, this is a great backdoor way for consumers to be "educated" about conditions they didn't know they had. Consumers then would go to their doctor to talk about these things.

These advertisements are extremely effective at getting patients going to doctors about conditions they hadn't necessarily discussed with the doctor before.

> IME there are three random features you might want on a collection: pick a single element, pick n elements and shuffle the collection. While it can't be #2 (as that requires an elements count) the random() method could be either #1 or #3 and the naming provides no indication of which.

I don't see the confusion. #1 would be .random(), #2 would be .random(Int), and #3 would be .shuffle() with both mutating and non-mutating versions.

> So the naming is unhelpful and the only operation implemented is the least useful random collection operation.

There could be all three of these methods, which you could use depending on your needs.

The purpose of a standard library is to make common things easy. At least one of these three functions are found in nearly all other languages' standard libraries I've ever used.

Ok, so putting aside whether this bill was the result of political ideology or regulatory capture, where are the citations that back up your claims?

> The article mentions the mandate as one of the central problems facing the USPS, and the fact that it is a requirement that neither private businesses nor other public institutions face.

Right, the point of my original comment was to highlight this seemingly absurd policy. The Economist provides no further explanation. People in this thread are quick to color in whatever details they like. I'm no expert on the USPS so perhaps the Economist has an agenda to push by not including the relevant information.

I was 13 in 2006, so if this really was the result of Bush and his friends in Congress, they did a fantastic job of playing the long game. But I'll wait to form an opinion until I see credible citations.
You can't buy prescription drugs without a doctor's authorization, so basically the ads are asking people to go beg their doctors for medicine they may, or may not, need.

FWIW, I asked my GP about this when I went in for a physical recently. He said he really doesn't get patients coming in asking for specific drugs in response to TV ads, and said he doesn't think it is an issue. Of course that's just one anecdote, but it shows that doctors are hardly in unanimous agreement on this.

I just wish they'd help me when there's no copyright infringement at all, so there's no need for a "fair use" argument--but I still get an infringement notice.

This happens, for example, if I sit down at my own piano and record myself playing some unambiguously out-of-copyright work, for example Mozart, Chopin, or Bach.

Just last week I got a notice from a record label because their matching software identified a Beethoven piano piece as being that from one of their copyrighted recordings. It wasn't--it was me playing.

Google should stop allowing companies that do this access to their content match system.

Today, Wal-Mart runs a centralized economy bigger than Soviet consumer production in the 1970s. It's all run out of Bentonville, Arkansas. Wal-Mart is so centralized that the thermostats in the stores are controlled from Bentonville. Purchasing is centralized in Bentonville. Store managers don't determine what they sell.

Biggest Diamond in More Than a Century Unearthed in Botswana
Texas seceded/rebelled, and became its own republic, as did Rio Grande, Yucatan, parts of Zacatecas, Jalisco, and Tabasco (and then Alta California after the USA got involved). So yeah, "Mexico" didn't start the war. Santa-Anna, the specific person, started all those ensuing wars when he suspended the constitution and centralized power, pissing off just about everyone more than an arm's length from Mexico City. The only rebel republic that survived the retaking effort is the one that allied itself with the USA.

Had Mexico not gone to war with Texas and the USA, it is very likely it still would have lost all that territory to rebellion.

The secession tension grew into Mexico's first civil war (Reform War of 1857-1861), which ended just as the USA-CSA civil war (1861-1865) was starting.

And if we're talking "at gun point", Guadalupe-Hidalgo was negotiated with USA occupying Mexico City. There was serious consideration given to annexing all of Mexico. Really, one major reason Mexico still exists at all is good ol' USA racism: all those Indians and mixed-race people would get to vote and elect their own representatives. Also, would the Mexican states be slave states or free states? So the USA pretty much just took only as much land as it could fill up with free white people, and paid off the loser.

And so they each got to have their own separate civil wars, instead of one big one.

> The first rule of sales is to pitch the decision maker. You can't buy prescription drugs without a doctor's authorization, so basically the ads are asking people to go beg their doctors for medicine they may, or may not, need. The doctor, in turn, may give in to the patient's emotional pleas, since they are, in effect, in a customer service business. This would be an ethical violation.

I think most of these ads are targeted to people who are already taking a drug for a condition. They want people to ask their doctor to switch to their drug - something a doctor would have far less ethical issues with.

The problem of course is people switch away from a drug that has worked for 40 years to something new because of advertising and their insurance (and in turn, all of us) ends up picking up the cost for something that may have no benefit whatsoever to the patient.

As it is, there are too many distortions. You don't pay for your drugs, your insurance company does. You don't even pay for your insurance, your employer does. So once a year, maybe, you grumble that your insurance premiums (the part you pay, at least) are going up, then the next day ask your doctor about Scrotium.

Google translate helps see it says mostly the same as the English-language article, albeit with less detail.

I'm a doctor, and I think this is a good idea.

The information provided to both doctors and patients by drug companies is marketing material. The best source of information is peer-reviewed publications, and even those are subject to some bias. Still, that's the best source we have, and should be the primary way all of us get health care information. If you, as a patient, do not understand what the reasearch articles are about, bring them with you to your appointment.

In my clinic, I do not accept visits or items from drug reps (including glossy marketing materials, pens, etc); the only thing they can leave me is a copy of a peer-reviewed article.

Flip side is that it's vile that we need a "doctor's authorization" to even buy chemicals. While there certainly should be regulation to curb abusive advertising (e.g. fraud), it's sad anyone would find it wrong to ask a doctor for drugs. The way things are set up, that's exactly what many people are forced to do.

Also, nitpick, but the news and ads in general are almost certainly far more harmful (for your daughter; perhaps you, too) than hearing about ED meds.

Wait what? Tylenol is acetaminophen, which is not associated with any heart benefit.

It doesn't seem like that big of a problem to me. Currently, it seems like the claimants are big companies, who should have the cash reserves to absorb a few months delay in the relatively small amount of ad revenue that they are missing out on. Small creators may still face hardship as a result of the delayed income (although if they are cannot absorb this, then I think they are still spread to thin to be sustainable), but under the current system they get nothing from this time period.
