Disclaimer: After a decade of working in the real estate industry in various aspects I will say it is a sh*t show of incompetence, laziness and greed.

While most real estate sites are bad, zillow is awful and Realtor.com should be considered a crime against humanity. I have to say redfin seems "ok"

On that note I am surprised that redfin is missing basic marketing messaging.
That argument would be far more (read: "at all") compelling if they weren't keeping the full-rez, EXIF'ed images. At that point, they're de facto acting as a backup service, and obscuring my access to my content [0] in the form in which it was originally submitted.

Your argument is the very thing I was referring to with the last sentence in my previous post. "They can do what they want with it, and you're wrong for thinking otherwise" is, besides being factually void, the kind of rationalization that lets FB jerk its users around like this.

[0] Yes, in fact, it is my content; I granted them a specifically constrained license, allowing them to use that content, in order to serve my and others' use of it. That's all. There is nothing whatsoever about not having to give back exactly what I uploaded, under any circumstance.

From the Fine ToS [1]:

> 2. Sharing Your Content and Information

You own all of the content and information you post on Facebook, and you can control how it is shared through your privacy and application settings. In addition:

For content that is covered by intellectual property rights, like photos and videos (IP content), you specifically give us the following permission, subject to your privacy and application settings: you grant us a non-exclusive, transferable, sub-licensable, royalty-free, worldwide license to use any IP content that you post on or in connection with Facebook (IP License). This IP License ends when you delete your IP content or your account unless your content has been shared with others, and they have not deleted it.

Nothing in that snippet, or anything else in the ToS grants them the right only to give back "lesser" versions of the content I uploaded. To suggest otherwise is tantamount to saying that, should I use the tool they provide to download all of my content, I have to suck it up that it will have all vowels elided.

I don't know why you're being downvoted, most of the sqft limitation is due to severe height and building restrictions in zoning outside of the downtown core. That's just fact.
I'm actually glad its this way. Its difficult to take over an account.

If you can't keep your passwords in check and use 2FA you ought to lose the account & make a new one. Some kind of consistency, e.g 2FA or password is needed to keep it secure.

I optimize my spending heavily around cashback credit cards. I wanted a way to make it easier for me and my wife to keep track of which cards we should be using, so I built CashbackOptimizer[0] and iOS[1] and Android[2] apps for it.

I've had lots of side projects fail like this one, and I am starting to realize they are all for similar reasons:

1) Too specific of an idea. After I built this, I found that not many people cared about optimizing cashback, or at least not enough to want to invest time in an app or website for tracking it.

2) Poor UI. I'm not great at UI, and I haven't been able to get great results from places like Upwork - I think they do a lot of great design for brochure-type websites, but I've had a hard time finding people good at designing apps. I've also tried to partner with UI people by giving them ownership in the idea, but it always works out the same - they start out excited about the idea, and while I sink a ton of time and money into an idea, they get bored and don't do much.

3) I'm not great at marketing and SEO, and don't have many connections for finding someone good to work with.

I wish I could find a way to find reliable, motivated people to partner with for small app/website ideas, as being able to build things from the software side alone isn't enough.

This is not a product that I'm interested in, but may I provide some feedback on your website?

It took me a little while to understand what Clickrouter does. The very first line, "Monetize Outbound Clicks", contributed a lot to my confusion. It made me think that maybe you were just a frontend to e.g. Amazon's affiliate program.

It was only when I read Step 4 of "How's it work" that I understood what it did: "Watch ClickRouter route each click to your best (i.e. most profitable) merchant network every time !"

I would've been much happier if the very first line was something like "Maximise your revenue by automatically using the best affiliate links."

Straight away I know _why_ I should be interested in your product, and how it works.

Newswire business stories aggregated from Bloomberg are not that.
i agree with netflix, straight up. they invest quite a lot in infrastructure and production to provide these videos, and making it simpler for average folks to get their protected videos in a profitable manner is a win for everyone except idealistic pirates. i don't get why i'd care about the needs of the people who want to ruin a fertile ecosystem for some abstract principle.
> You can't simultaneously give us the content and not give us the content.

You actually mostly can, today, and "mostly" is good enough for the content producers.

If you have a DRM pipeline that has software and hardware that validates that it hasn't been tampered with (which is absolutely possible with today's technology), then the best an "attacker" can do is point a camera at the display device (and live with the reduced quality that brings), at least not without spending a ton of money on expensive hardware to defeat this.

And as another poster pointed out, DRM isn't really about protecting content from piracy, it's more about content producers having leverage over the people who make content-consumption technology. And it's working quite well for them for that purpose.
> We assume that an "individual" is a single human being, because it's convenient and I guess because that's how our sentience works.

I often hear that, but I think that's a wrong assumption. I think people fall in and out of being conscious all the time, and often they are semi-conscious in a distracted way.

Consciousness is this holy singular grail, but I think it's actually a muddy mixture of state of minds, like thinking usually is.
You weren't kidding. Sheesh.

If a position is so poorly conceived that the simplest thing to do is to point out that it is logically invalid, then, no, you've done your job.

Yes, logical fallacies can be misused and abused. But the power is in the name: committing one of these tactics, legitimately, is logically false and invalid. It invalidates an argument.

Pointing out that your opponnent is lying dying and bleeding out on the ground doesn't lose you a fight.

The choice we're faced with is either we get some standardized DRM in browsers or we get unstandardized DRM in browsers. That's the choice.

I've had email discussions with people at the EFF about this and we basically just had to agree to disagree. Their interpretation of the choice we're making is that we either get DRM in browsers or we get some magical fairy-tale land where DRM suddenly ceases to exist. I don't buy it.

Plus, as a Netflix subscriber I don't really mind DRM that much. Feel free to ask away, I'm always willing to talk about this.
This started with someone claiming what should happen is DRM'ed video streaming should be made a difficult and unpleasant experience. Standards bodies and implementors aren't going to do that. What's more, their collective efforts have made the usability better, the availability of content better and as a free bonus, the security is better. That's all.
I have taken adderall consistently for the past 13 years. I began as an adult. As for my health, I am in better shape today than when I first begun despite now being well past middle age. As for tolerance, I will take a maximum of 15mg per day, which is the same limit I was first prescribed to. My daily regime still holds at 5mg, with holidays.
Why not just put cameras in farm equipment and tell everyone straight up they are being filmed? No need for creeping around
I think the parent's point is that it's absolutely feasible to build hardware and software that successfully enforces a DRM scheme, and also release the specs for the hardware and the source of the software.

That doesn't mean that a content producer will verify any old (modified) version of the software and allow it to play (and possibly "leak") their content.

Put another way: it's possible to build a secure DRM pipeline and then release all the source to it while maintaining the security of _that particular version_ of the pipeline. It's perfectly possible (cryptographically) to set it up so an unmodified version of that pipeline will be able to play protected content, while modifying it to (for example) dump decrypted bits to disk will cause the content to fail to play at all.
Can anyone explain the justification for not recording? I can only see positive things come out of it.
I'd be happy with any of these. What I'm meeting with my team next week to discuss is establishing some conventions to avoid stuff like this:

I know this comment is tongue in cheek, but honestly, it's something I've come to really enjoy about English. It's so pervasive that it changes constantly, and often times you can guess where someone is from by how they construct it. As an American, I only speak English fluently but have a passing knowledge of other languages. I wonder if any other language has similar phenomena, in a single country(excluding regional dialects, which also exist here of course).

Hot partitions do always seem to be an issue, for an 'infinitely scalable' NoSQL database that is a bit on the pricey side.

But what's a better option for a distributed, managed database-as-a-service? Rolling your own does mean significant operational burden.

I wonder if you could do something like add a random number to each of your keys before hashing. It would increase your storage size by Nx, but it seems like that would spread your load as well.
Freecycle works pretty well too.
It's depressing to me to think that people hate others so much that they would go to such great lengths to keep others from getting healthcare and ensure their demise. These same people would have no problem accepting healthcare from others if it was their lives that were in danger. I truly cannot fathom the hypocrisy, hate, and cruelty that must exist in these people's hearts towards their fellow citizens.
Reporting on legal decisions is garbage when it doesn't even include the name of the case, or better a pointer to the opinion, so I can read the ruling myself.

But it seems tenuous to me to claim that the state can criminalize trespassing, but not trespassing for the purposes of X, or conspiring to trespass to commit X, regardless of X.
Sure, and you can point a camera at the display device, but you'll suffer lower quality.

And you can also buy some expensive hardware to sit between the HDCP decoder chip and the output to the display panel, and buy some more expensive hardware to deal with the huge volume of raw, uncompressed video that comes out of it.

But the content producers are betting that most people won't consider the first option good enough, and will find the second option prohibitively expensive. They're also betting that most people will opt for the convenience of getting it through the browser or mobile device (for a fee) and won't want to deal with getting it from not-so-legit sources. They're comfortable with these tradeoffs, for now, so they're doing what they're doing.

They absolutely don't care about the small minority of people who will do anything to get hold of the content unencumbered. They know they can't control that group of people, but they aren't losing sleep over it. Because, for now, that minority is too small to hurt their bottom line. If that changes, I'm sure they'll pursue a new strategy. But for now, they don't need to.
Part of why healthcare is so expensive today, is we're capable of saving so many more lives than before. As little as a generation ago, many more would have died, people who now go on to live fruitful productive lives.
But live streaming is becoming more mainstream, and I think a cop would have to be dumb as rocks not to be aware of that fact. The shit storm due to a video of questionable activity is nothing compared to the shit storm of questionable activity that ends abruptly as the officer's boot meets the lens.
Of course you can change it later, that's what 301s are for.

How is it ever legal to break into a business's property and secretly video the operations? You surely can't sneak into a factory and record their processes to sell to China. Is it only allowed when it's being used for protesting, not for stealing IP? Or only on farms but not in factories? What about trespass law? Non-disclosure agreements for employees? Are those invalid?

To be fair, the maths behind rentability is tainted with so much agenda from all parts.

E.G: when you give prices for a nuclear plant in France, you include only assembly price and running costs. While for wind turbines you include assembly, disassembly, running costs and wiring (which must be underground by law). This makes it hard to make fair comparisons.

The ABC is the biggest propaganda unit for renewable energy out there.
Jehu Garcia's Youtube videos are definitely worth checking out, the guy is doing cool things with 18650 lithium ion cells. He converted a VW bus into an electric vehicle. My main takeaway after watching his videos and others in the same vein is that lithium ion battery packs are the gasoline of the 21st century.

You can build 18650 packs for electric bikes, scooters, boats etc... or build your own Power Wall type home electric energy storage.

The costs of these cells coming out of China have gotten down to $1 each in some cases of excess inventory...
Would you want someone secretly taking video of the most embarrassing, context-free 5 minutes they could find of your job, and invoking a mob to attack you on that basis?

These environments, or disrupting their operations because you're trying to get a sweet shot, can be legitimately dangerous. Discouraging people from trespassing in search of publicity could certainly constitute a rational basis for such a law.

It's a neat trick to ask what possible justification there could be and then downvote the explanation.
> We had Flash and Silverlight.

and when apple decides to drop flash support, what happened? Did netflix or any other video content producer suddenly decide to stop supporting those devices? No, they went with html5 video (and at that time, free of DRM). That was a great step forward for DRM free content for the web.

By making the web standard include a mechnism to include DRM natively, this means content producers once again will have a hassle free way to include DRM. The end user won't care as long as they can get their content, but the slippery slope is there, and one day, the web will only contain content that is DRM'ed (and there would be no way of format shifting, or saving the video for offline viewing or sharing). That is not the web I want to see in 5/10 year's time, and the way to stop that is to prevent the cracks from appearing.

It's actively harmful to consumers of content producing companies, but only if those companies do not move to DRM free platforms. But because companies ultimately have to make the user experience smooth, forcing them off DRM like this to make a smooth user experience is worth it in my books.
No, the entire API really is one function. The events and animation helpers can be implemented by the user in a few lines of code, they are not at all required. There is nothing stopping you from adding event listeners or CSS classes without these conveniences. Putting rather trivial functionality in the same level as the only core function would be highly misleading. I would rather completely remove the helper functions, than to satisfy pedants who complain, "but there's two completely optional functions so it's not just one!!1"
From the article, "addressing perceived threats to the state agricultural industry". In other words, the justification is nothing more than "protecting powerful corporate interests takes precedence over individual rights".
You don't in general have a right to trespass, or break-and-enter, and record what you find.
Nope! Was unaware of the project before you mentioned it. Looks like it might have similar goals.
America spends more per capita than any other first world country for worse outcomes [1]. Healthcare is expensive because of the profit motive. Single payer isn't implemented for (mostly) the same reason.

60% of Americans want single payer [2].

"A majority of Americans say it is the federal government’s responsibility to make sure all Americans have health care coverage. And a growing share now supports a “single payer” approach to health insurance, according to a new national survey by Pew Research Center.

Currently, 60% say the federal government is responsible for ensuring health care coverage for all Americans, while 39% say this is not the government’s responsibility. These views are unchanged from January, but the share saying health coverage is a government responsibility remains at its highest level in nearly a decade.

Among those who see a government responsibility to provide health coverage for all, more now say it should be provided through a single health insurance system run by the government, rather than through a mix of private companies and government programs. Overall, 33% of the public now favors such a “single payer” approach to health insurance, up 5 percentage points since January and 12 points since 2014. Democrats – especially liberal Democrats – are much more supportive of this approach than they were even at the start of this year.

Even among those who say the federal government is not responsible for ensuring Americans have health care coverage, there is little public appetite for government withdrawing entirely from involvement in health care coverage. Among the public, 33% say that health care coverage is not the government’s responsibility, but that programs like Medicare and Medicaid should be continued; just 5% of Americans say the government should not be involved at all in providing health insurance."

Emphasis mine.
