If it's all your code or code from other Github users, you're probably fine. The ToS constitutes an additional license agreement which you can make since you're the copyright holder of your own private creations.

Of course, even if you don't infringe on other people's rights, there's also the question whether you're okay with these ToS.

Well, the point stands: browser and integrated pad is not enough for third party browser games to emerge. Nintendo would also have to provide relevant APIs, some of which aren't commonly used by regular websites (e.g. WebGL).
The 'nice' thing about technology being to blame instead of offshoring is that there is no clear and obvious villain to point pitchforks at. That's useful for some people.

So:

http://bigstory.ap.org/article/265cd8fb02fb44a69cf0eaa2063e1...

"Blame robots [for your imminent unemployment].

[Proved by] "A study at Ball State University's Center for Business and Economic Research" ("The myth and reality of manufacturing in America").

Which states:

http://conexus.cberdata.org/files/MfgReality.pdf

"We begin by examining productivity. The most common measure
of productivity is the average product of labor, which is simply the value of all goods manufactured in the U.S. divided by the number of workers. "

^^

Which literally means that according to the author's calculations, if you offshore 50 workers and maintain sales, you have decreased US employment / GDP ratio and thus increased.

The of the paper then measures productivity, states that it's gone up and segues into a lot of reasons why it thinks the increase in productivity is actually because of machines.

Then they invent a calculation involving the trade deficit to determine the number of jobs lost by outsourcing (where one Chinese person buying a $5 million house/year in Cali "makes up for" losing 20 $50k/year jobs) and finish up with what can only be described as an unrelated whinge about US corporate tax rates (just in case you were left with any lingering doubts about whose side they're on).

Authors: Michael J. Hicks and Srikant Devara, MBA.

tl;dr some people use phony math to explain why it's wrong to point pitchforks at the 1%.

> The license to "use, display and perform your Content" isn't limited to the GitHub site

Right. If you put up your code publicly you are implicitly allowing other people to do those things, since there's nothing you can do to stop it. How could you stop someone from privately running your code on their hardware?

You're also implicitly allow people to fork and download the code, since Github doesn't allow public projects to restrict those abilities. Your particular license may restrict making further copies, though.
It's, at the very least, disingenuous.
Reserving judgement until I see an analysis from someone familiar with the pertinent law, and qualified to comment (i.e. "What does Eben Moglen think?"). The "analysis" linked to is a dead link (maybe it got HNed).
Would someone please contact one of the leaders of Github for a comment? Too much speculation going on.

From a neurological point of view -- quite possibly yes.

In that, as one becomes fluent in new language, different centers of the brain (perhaps entirely different from those used for developing one's mother tongue) are activity. And literally new brain tissue grows in these regions. So when these newer centers are activated... in part, it's literally a different "you" that's being engaged.

Just another among the many side benefits of becoming bilingual.
This Picture Has No Red Pixels–So Why Do the Strawberries Still Look Red?
Yeah, I didn't intend a value judgment on lobbying in general, so much as to highlight how unfair/unreasonable it is to put that obligation on sick people. Why can't we fix what's obvious? Any of us could end up sick in the future.
No. "Uber Black" requires a luxury car and uber offers a 3 year lease program to help drivers purchase a vehicle. People signed up and then uber changed the rules so that they now have to accept "Uber x" fares too. Uber changed the rules and drivers are, correctly, pissed.
My credit union in the US has moved to a similar design last year… except that the tellers are behind a video screen. 2 tellers for 4 screens.

My bank in France took it a step further in 1999: no more tellers at all. Nobody touches cash except for the machines. The staff is therefore considerably reduced and only for less common operations, or high-touch sales.
Clojure's missing piece
Uber's business model is to create a monopoly on a variety of transportation services using VC cash to dump the market, drive out their competitors, and then jack up prices:

Also worth noting is that you can configure a recurring one-way sync to periodically bring the slave repo up to date; this is useful for giving Gitlab a try while not committing to leaving Github as your primary hosting service.
Is this a PoC bug bounty type of deal, or "here's a neat tool that can beat reCaptcha" type of deal? Seeing a bunch of comments about wanting a browser plugin that exploits this, but I'm wondering if that would be legal or not after reading (from HN several weeks ago) about the ticket scalpers who automated TicketMaster's site and were charged with fraud. The case isn't exactly analogous, but it's close enough to make me wonder.

The two hardest things in programming are naming things, caching things, and off-by-one errors.
Actually, that's not what customers demand. Customers demand a SOLUTION. IT managers demand less work and that's why web is so prevalent. IT teams just need to run a script to release version 2.0 of your application, being used by hundreds, thousands or millions of users.

Well, I don't know anything at all about wikimedia infrastructure, but I would think it caches rather well.

Then all the ISP would have to do is coordinate with wikimedia to put such a device in their datacenter and save a lot on that precious upstream bandwith, keeping traffic on their local network where it's not costing them as much.

That's a plus, in addition to the free karma.

I'm slightly grey-green colorblind, and if you make text standard CSS green (#008000) I sometimes have trouble telling that it's actually green and not dark grey. If you make it just a little more green (say #00A000) it's much easier for me to see.

Me too, but mostly for the lack of load times. I remember the move TO optical and I've hated load times ever since.
> The license to "use, display and perform your Content" isn't limited to the GitHub site or functionality. Only the "access your Content" and "reproduce your Content" are limited to GitHub.

Hmmm, I see how the and can be read that way. They really need to use more punctuation in these instead of so many 'and's.

But so if they can only access and reproduce your content through Github, what constitutes use/display/perform, and in what ways could they do that? Judging by the way D.4 is written, I take it to mean things like playing an audio file or running some executable code within the browser.

> The author did explicitly mention that. But I think it's worth listing all the issues with the ToS, not just one.

Yeah, I get that they mentioned it, I meant I wished they spent more than a sentence on it because I feel that's the bigger issue.
This specific change feels a bit different to me since Google was also aggressively deprecating NPAPI in their own browser[1]

It was an industry trend, not really a Firefox specific decision.

> "you have to rewrite your application within two years, or if it's broken it is your fault"

Hangouts would require fixes, but not quite a rewrite. When Mozilla announced in October 2015 that it would EOL NPAPI plugins over a year later, Hangouts had already switched from NPAPI to WebRTC in Chrome over a year before (July 2014):

How do they catch things like kidney disease early? I have stage four kidney disease and there are barely any symptoms. Stage five means dialysis. For me it is too late to properly fix it but if caught early with regular blood tests there are ways to slow it down. My feeling is regular blood tests are a necessity for many health issues.

A simple differential model like this is no good.

Likewise gaussian cupola models are often wrong. You might be facing a sigmoid instead. Or a stepwise distribution.

Both of these are used by alleged econometrists and planners who do not know better and hate drawing real histograms of opinions, because that takes actual data collection.

Thoughtworks one is even less descriptive and more limited.

That's not too far off. People really love dogs. I've never met a person who would blame a dog for anything, they're treated like angels and any bad behaviour is blamed on the owner, not the dog itself. The dog is without sin and beyond punishment. They're treated kind of like children, really, except even the most cold-hearted scrooge, who would gladly put kids to work shovelling coal for 12 hours a day at a salary of half-penny a month would think twice about kicking a dog.
Are you suggesting users start emailing you directly when they find such stories? Is that really practical or scalable?

Also, doesn't having to run stories past a gatekeeper go against the community rating system that HN is based on?

I don't see administrator interference in story titles as particularly critical to the site, but community voting on stories is.

Is there maybe some way to experiment with leaving story titles unchanged from how they were submitted? What would happen if HN tried that for a week?
I would turn the question around and ask you: what percentage of jobs are similar enough to repetitive, algorithmic tasks? We can joke around about it, but I think most things humans do are a lot more complicated than we realize (precisely because they seem so simple to us), which is exactly why the early optimism over AI turned out to be misguided. Even a "simple" office secretary would be hard to automate, because many of these sort of jobs are not specialized at all but consist of many ad hoc tasks that range from making phone calls to negotiating with other humans to collecting debts to getting the boss coffee, etc. Many trade jobs like plumbers, electricians, etc., require way too much "common sense" type reasoning and social interactions to be fully-automated at this point or any time in the near future.
Wait. How does Clouldflare prevent a site from going offline for weeks because of hardware failure?

For one, I don't think just because you can exploit entire groups of people you are right to do that. The market could command lower wages for <underprivileged group> and it would not be right. It just happens overseas employees are protected by no one.

Originally coming from a developing country, the amount and quality of services offered by various levels of US Govt is astonishing compared to what I used to get from my country of origin. [eg. reliable public infrastructure like good roads, 24hr electricity, clean air, clean water; libraries; national parks; heck even travel protection programs like STEP while traveling abroad]. If you think all that amounts to nothing, or just amounts to "supporting businesses", try spending 5-6 years as a resident (not tourist) in some developing country.
Every government (Or at least, the people they represent) is at war with its servants.
Sharing code is pretty central to Github's public repositories, so they're in a different position than, for example, flickr or facebook, where other users are primarily consumers of your creative works.

That being said, the license grant Github asks for ("use, display, perform, and reproduce") seems to be a minimal set that is part of any OSS license anyway. It doesn't elaborate on any terms of such a license, but from the context it's clear that GPL/BSD/CC/etc. are considered acceptable (see for example the mention of "granting additional rights via license" which links to an overview of these licenses).

All of the symptoms can also be caused by panic disorder. Advice like "IF YOU FEEL ANY DISCOMFORT AT ALL GO TO THE EMERGENCY ROOM ASAP" is bad advice for people with anxiety disorders.

Is the lack of portability really due to the unavailability of a (or yet another) standard format? Seems it's far more related to the music player decisions about what it's playlist format should be...
Not sure why you've been down-voted. Twitter is so different from Facebook in terms of what it's primary use is, that it doesn't make sense to compare them, and while I wouldn't quite word my response this way, I agree with the sentiment that Facebook usage data doesn't tell us enough to predict Twitter usage under higher character limits.

I live 8km from Auckland CBD and haven't got fibre or an install date. Lines crap out when it rains. Every fibre install I have seen (and I keep an eye out for them) is terrible. Through driveway expansion joints, along fences etc. My view is quite the opposite on how good the roll out has been.
pfffft Bunch of yammering without any good analysis. Disappointing.

The new terms don't do anything except make explicit what they were already doing.

D.7 + D.4: They were already doing activities these terms explicitly give them the right to do. They are internally copying (backups), modifying (compressing and indexing), and displaying anything uploaded. If having it spelled out violates your license, I don't see how them just doing it without having it spelled out doesn't also violate the license. Maybe this just shifts where the license violation is occurring from GitHub's doing to a user's uploading, but it doesn't change the fact that a license is being violated somewhere on either the old or new terms.

D.5: This section was already in the old terms! The new terms actually clarify and limit what they mean by "fork". It still doesn't give the forking user a right to modify, just create their own copy within the context of GitHub. You already granted users the right to "fork" anything publicly submitted under the old terms.

D.3: The rant (the writers own tag, but I find it appropriate) is just nitpicking here. It om-mitts the reason why they would remove content, which is because it violates their policies. GitHub needs this right to enforce their content restrictions. Also, if GitHub ends up removing partial content such that it violates the license it was submitted with YOU aren't the one breaking the license. They are.
