I got four paragraphs in before I said to myself "This reads like a hit piece, who is this guy?"

A quick search of the author reveals a slant and bias so strong you'd think he was a lobbyist writing legislation instead of an Op-Ed.

Whatever points he's trying to make about the "value gap" he runs right to the absolute same party-line Azoff, the RIAA, and multi-national conglomerate rights-holder firms want: Fiddle with safe harbors, and get the US government to jack up the rates streaming services pay for music by way of tweaking the rules for terrestrial radio. It's all very clear for anybody who is keeping track of this debate.

So, if you want a consolidated, heavily biased stump speech designed to raise sympathy ("Think of the poor musicians! Think of Prince!") and deflect from the more customary benefactors of such changes, multi-billion dollar companies, here you go. It is what it is.

And, while I'm a fan of Prince and his successes, I think the guy isn't an icon to be emulated when it came to rights management and his approach to "the music business" in some ways. As a musician he had just as many flops - if not more - than actual hits. He also wanted to completely ban cover songs, which is a really shitty and selfish attitude in my opinion. Guys like Prince and the author would, by logical extension, want to kill off "remix culture" and some of the changes that are pushing toward real, useful Copyright Reform in time.

I don't think SV and VC doesn't love music, and I don't think the whole intention is to rip off music artists. The industry already rips off music artists to an insane degree. The music industry doesn't have a lot of high ground to get preachy until it cleans up its own accounting (Eminem's successful lawsuit regarding digital royalties for licenses vs. sales) and contract issues (Kesha and Kemosabe) that reflect poorly on the motivations, actions, and long-term vision of the industry.

There is no reason this kind of glitch should even be happening. There should be some kind of date attribute that gets attached to the ContentID data that Fox submits, and YouTube should reject takedowns for which that date is later than the date the video in question was uploaded. This is just ridiculous.

Although, thinking a bit more on this (and your more helpful reply to another poster), it might very well be that for web sockets, a better performing solution for python might be to write a wrapper for	uWebSockets (the c++ implementation) in python.

I'm guessing that the scaffolding code for the websocket-part in python when working with uvloop might indeed give a meaningful performance and/or memory hit (I'm leaning towards memory probably being the most significant difference here).

I'd be interesting to compare a python+uvloop websocket implementation and uWS (both using nodejs and c++) -- and at some point see if wrapping uWS for python would make a meaningful difference.

> "If you believe that every life is sacred and has intrinsic value simply for being alive"

Well first of all there are a whole lot of lives that are not sacred and should be ended as quickly as possible, but that's another discussion. No one is intrinsically valuable in my mind, not on a planet with 6+ billion people on it. No matter how special of a snowflake you think you might be we can probably replace you pretty easily.

Secondly, while I support your theory, the reality is that most babies that would be aborted would be born into poverty, bad marriages, split couples, the offspring of rape/molestations, or the best case scenario: a parent that doesn't want them or likely doesn't feel they can support them. I fail to see what achievements lie ahead for that child other than making the same mistakes we've forced their mother to make.

Born Lutheran, I'm not as active as my parents but I get around. I have some agnostic leanings but the existential terror of human beings being the things more or less "in charge" forces me to hope to whatever's out there that someone else has the wheel.
Yeah, if all said were true, YouTube is as much at fault as Fox is.
Most buildings in Manhattan are old. Many of them are larger than current zoning would allow. It is very hard to change zoning law, or the political status quo in general, in wealthy neighborhoods in Manhattan— we have accreted a process that makes change very difficult, though not as ridiculous as San Francisco.

Many new buildings in Manhattan are built in central Manhattan neighborhoods where tall buildings are legal. But new buildings built in wealthy areas of lower Manhattan can be smaller than older ones. See this rendering of 300 Lafayette Street, to be built in place of a gas station, and about half as tall as the 1920s building down the street:

Those genres won't be killed-off, they'll be driven underground and further into the background from the pop genres that are much more easily monetizable. Where jazz and classical are now (not dead, but not profitable) will go various categories of metal, world, and other eclectic-mashups that require more attention from the listener than does, say, a Sailor Twift radio-hit.
There was no evidence Eich was anti-gay. It was discovered he had donated to Prop 8, the California initiative which restated the status quo, that marriage is between one man and one woman, and which passed by a majority of California voters. For that political donation, he was ostracized and effectively run out of his job in Silicon Valley.

San Francisco has always been one of the most liberal cities in the country, so it is no surprise to me that a liberal political bias is inherent in Silicon Valley companies. The issue arises when this bias is combined with the enormous power some of these young companies have in order to abuse those whose political views are not the same as theirs.

Well, his point is that he thought he was attacking people who wanted a special treatment in life, and now he found himself aligned with people who were doing that exact thing. It wasn't really about being aggressive per se.

He's always been an ultraconservative nutjob and I don't see that changing, but it's refreshing to see someone showing he can see the problems with his own argument and can self-criticize a bit. Tomorrow we'll go back to our scheduled program of people shouting at each other, but can't we happy that today is a good day, for once? :)
/vent I don't see what's interesting or really even positively relevant here in 2016. Jenkins was a very important part of what accelerated the early progression on high performance product delivery, but it's not exactly something to aspire to run, nor is it in any way a measure or sign of technological advance to be able or even suitable to run the application. I don't think any level of integration would make this favourable solution. One of Microsofts weaknesses that has only really recently become blatantly obvious publicly is their poor ability to integrate. Having a monopoly on file formats and the such got them a huge wave to ride but they are more of a holdings company stumbling than anything. Their offerings are less than nimble and news like this in 2016 only exists because they're reaching for any public opportunities to make themselves appear relevant. Just look at O365, SharePoint Online etc... They're truly awful to use if required to do so on a regular basis, the sheer latency of those product interfaces alone should be enough to make anyone weary but when you start digging into their network and see how broken their infrastructure is, is damn right scary. They fail to provide reliable network routes, have widespread internal DNS issues and data replication mismatches. Ending my rant here but it damn cheeses me when people fall for the flashy brochure - it's their job to take your money, that is the mission - they don't care about you. /vent

More precisely:

- The shell finds opens up the file you want to execute

- It gets the first line of the file

- It figures out what program to execute

- It calls fork()

- In the new process, it executes the program (using exec()) and passes the file as the input to the program.
You order it to Amazon drop off point? Or an address that you know no one lives at? Or buy online goods that you can re-sell later - bitcoins, steam/battle net accounts, any virtual currency. Drugs. I know people who had their stolen card used to pay for $200 Uber trips - once you leave the car good luck getting found out, and the driver doesn't know if your card got declined or not.
I'm sure there's a thousand ways to get money out of stolen cards.
I had the same first thought, but I think it needs to be tempered somewhat. Some apps you can turn off notifications on. For example, Gmail on my phone I have turned off notifications for my work account, but not my personal account. I've also filtered what comes into my "Primary" inbox heavily so I only see emails that have some legitimate urgency on the phone. Everything else disappears into tabs and labels that I check when I want to.

If Gmail didn't make that set of options available to me I would delete it off my phone. I have yet to receive such an important email that it would have had horrendous results to not know or reply immediately. I keep the limited set of emails I do see simply because I enjoy the convenience and politeness of being able to reply to my parents, wife, and friends from my phone.

> EME is a huge advantage from a security perspective because it avoids pulling in a massive platform (Flash, Silverlight) just to play video.

You don't need EME "just to play video". HTML5-video without EME can do that just fine.

It is only when you conflate video playback with DRM then that argument somewhat works.
It's not the keyboards. It's the keyboard layouts that are configured in software. And not all "American" keyboard layouts make that key an Alt modifier. The Microsoft Windows "United States International" keyboard layout makes it level 3 shift, for example.

Perhaps that's what I'm thinking of then. Also, I don't live in Manhattan or SF (the cities I'm familiar with include Atlanta, Charlotte, Nashville, etc.)
I don't think so but Meatier (https://github.com/mattkrick/meatier) should receive uws as default engine since it build on SC, you could look into that but honestly I don't understand this project at all :P

It's the end-to-end part that is opt in. Normal messages are encrypted in transit and while stored and only the machine learning system has access to them otherwise.

Of course that means it is just Google policy protecting the messages internally and it probably isn't resistant to a warrant, but the messages are protected from other access.

I wonder how many of those are in this thread. There are quite a few posts in here written in good but not quite natural english, espousing various degrees of conciliatory attitudes towards the propaganda state.
A model of human work:

- The number of people occupied per industry is inversely proportional to the number of industries in existence.

- The barrier to entry is also inversely proportional to the number of industries in existence.

The process for every new industry generally goes something like this:

- Stage 1: mostly makers (100%)

- Stage 2: some makers (25%) + some operators of some tech that raises general efficiency (25%) (50% slowly moves to some new industry)

- Stage 3: few makers (5%) + some operators (10%) + some supervisors of some autonomous tech that maximizes efficiency (10%) (25% slowly moves to some new industry)

Was this process historically painless and ultra efficient? No!
Did it do the job again and again with some acceptable level of efficiency? Yes!

The argument that this time is different this will stop working is getting stronger and stronger.

I personally think that is not the case. With some pain that require good policy, up and downs and so on this is the way we operate, we adapt.

Take prostitution (the oldest job in the world!), the next thing is robots yes, but also cam girls. Lower barrier to entry and maybe even bigger industry with lots of specialization.

And next thing for cam girls? Is of course virtual cam girls but also avatar builders/modelers/players even lower barrier to entry and potentially bigger industry and so on.
Show HN: We were so fed up with recruiter spam we built this job platform
I pay cash for all my transactions.

I don't own a car because I fear that the registration systems for licensing and taxes will gather information about me and we know that those government data systems are most vulnerable to attack.

When I travel, it's by bus only - requiring a form of identification at the airport is a front to government spying. Unfortunately, the bus systems are starting to require too much information as well and when this fully happens I'll have to stop traveling by this means too.

Voter registration is unfortunately a front for other malicious activities - such as jury duty, a state-mandated intrusion into my most private information and thoughts - not even bringing up electronic voting - so I stay away from those booths.

I find that just renting an apartment requires too much sharing of my personal information, I try to provide the minimum, but I still find my address on the web and you can see where I live on google street view which is very frustrating.

I don't talk to others and when I do, I don't tell folks anything about me, I'm concerned that they may tell others and pretty soon everyone is going to start showing up at my home and my job and frankly I don't want to answer my door buy their stuff - or worse - they could be hiding violent tendencies.

Today's society makes it extremely difficult to be a nobody. If I could crinkle into a ball and fade away, I would, but, unfortunately, I'm still breathing.

I think that's another article. I would be interested in seeing someone think through different form factors for mobile computing that could go hand in hand with the application level ideas presented here.
While I agree tech is hurting music, the recording industry has been ripping off artists since records were popular. The entirety of Lola Versus Powerman and the Moneygoround, for example, is about artists not making any money off their music[1], and it was released shortly after the ARPANET was created. The biggest change with digital music piracy is that record companies are also earning less.

If you were a drugstore and had a drug that was functionally identical to aspirin but caused day-long projectile vomiting in 99.96% of people who took it, would you think it was a great idea to hide the aspirin in the back and give the drug that is almost guaranteed to cause harm to someone as the default?

Agreed. Like someone else said in the comments, this person is simply an attention seeker. It almost seems like he went to NK, didn't find any newsworthy stories and had to invent one to justify the trip. Not very good journalism.
Having to ship your code back to the mothership to run unit tests made it impossible to run TDD (~30 second overhead on each test run). That along with the test coverage requirements made it a pain on the first level. Unless you're using their utterly abysmal in-browser editor.

On the second level is if you're building an app that needs to talk bidirectionally to salesforce on a per customer (app install) basis. Each salesforce site has their own WSDL URLs. That makes sense if all you're doing is building something out for your own Salesforce site.

But if you're building something installable over their marketplace .... it's almost impossible to have a seamless user experience, from the customer's point of view.

I don't think so either. It's something in the implementation of `execv` I think.

#include <unistd.h>

int main() {
execl("cat-quine", "cat-quine", NULL);

Is sufficient to have this work.
Why does that carry more legitimacy? And is it so hard to believe someone raised as a conservative could change their minds?
