You can't define "creative ways" in an objective way in a law. It's black or white. What you want is a clear rulebook of what isn't allowed. Everything else is fair game, because that's the only logical way to approach things.

You don't want the IRS dictating what they consider to be creative ways. The IRS can not agree with something you've done, but you don't want to end up in a situation where they effectively make the law. That makes no sense at all.
Over here in The Netherlands it's not explicitly legal to download things, but if you downloaded copyrighted content you're only required to pay back the missed income to the publisher. In case of a youtube video download for personal use, this would equal to the value of a single ad view.
“Please Don't Buy a Prada Shirt” – [Episode #87] Make Money Online
Quick tidbits:

- it's open code, not open source (CC by-nc-nd)

- it's available now (in stock)

- you can try it in the simulator

- it uses floats for computation, so it's far from ideal (limited precision). The implementation is in C++.

- it does not have a CAS (Computer Algebra System), and I don't think it's feasable with their hardware specs.

I'm not affiliated with the project, nor do I know anyone from the company or the team. But I got one to play with, so I'd be happy to answer any question for which you cannot find the answer on the website and/or github.
Why would you use RDS? AWS is overpriced.

If you really want no-ops deployment, use something that requires minimal amount of ops, like ElasticSearch. Just give it an obscene amount of RAM and it'll work fine for ages.

RDS or not, if you want to run a big site, you'll need (dev)ops expertise. And a lot of it. Famously, Netflix - the big full-cloud business, - employs the most aggressive performance engineering and other "auxiliary" development groups. (Because AWS is fckn!1 expensive, and when you can run on a thousand less nodes, it'll cost you less. And yes, of course Netflix gets a big discount, but you won't, at least not initially.)

I have a theory that the people who love make are the same people who love macros and the people who hate make don't love them.

I wrote a book on make and I fully recognize that there are people who look at what I've written there and think I'm completely mad: https://www.nostarch.com/gnumake

Make's greatest irony is that it's a system for building files based on dependencies but has no way of actually discovering dependencies. I wrote about this for Dr Dobbs a while back: http://www.drdobbs.com/architecture-and-design/dependency-ma...

And make has deficiencies that are a nightmare to work around and get right (e.g. spaces in filenames, recursion, ...)

If anyone else out there is a make hacker like myself they might enjoy the GNU Make Standard Library project: http://gmsl.sourceforge.net/

Working at a startup: The only 3 things that matter
The object-relational stuff works (table inheritance). Or at least, it did the last time I tried it out a few years back; I've never used it in production.
To restate your other reply, key-value allows you to sweep consistency problems under the rug. What happens if two transactions try to update the same row? One of the transactions fails. What happens if two clients write different values to the same key in a multi-master key-value store? The last one in wins and the first write is just lost.

Many of the NoSQL databases have provisions for these situations so they can handle both writes but bubble the decision up to the application layer. CouchDB, for instance, will tell you you've got multiple versions and has a way for you to tell it how to resolve the conflict. CRDTs let you bake the logic in for handling a conflict. MySQL does not do any of that. If your database consists of "likes" and other low-value data like that, you may not care if you're losing data at some low rate. Reddit is in that situation, and the decision seems to work for them. But I don't think it generalizes to all situations.

VM interfaces are awkward due to emulating hardware so that they can run existing operating systems. A VT-backed unikernel interface does not need to inherit this awkwardness.

As for memory management, in the Solo5/ukvm case the amount of memory you grant to the guest (monitor process) is essentially the maximum you expect the guest to need, ever. So it's similar in terms of overhead to many usermode allocators which just mmap() a huge block of memory at start and then hand out to the application from that.
No, but I suspect the reason for that is that they don't need to. There are two reasons to release a product. The first is because it's perfect and there's no more work to be done on it, and the second is because you want/need to start recouping the money you've spent developing it. Magic Leap are not in either position. They've not built the product they want to build yet, and they're not especially short on cash. The fact they've not released anything means very little at this stage.

I'm mildly skeptical about what they're making, but at the same time the videos are impressive, and if someone told me Apple had spent $1.5bn and 6 years on a top secret project I'd be hugely excited about what it might look like.
Home mortgage interest deduction serves to put the financing of private home ownership on the same footing as financing of commercial house ownership (wherein the interest on loans for income-seeking activities is deductible).

Eliminating the MID without eliminating the deductibility of commercial loans' interest makes commercial purchasing of real estate cheaper than private purchasing. IOW, eliminating the MID is a big handout to commercial landlords and serves to keep even more people renting rather than owning their housing.

I think the only real problem times you'll find are when the architectures are changed. x86, arm, you'd probably want to port your solution images then if ever. There will always be folks emulating hardware in software on new architectures.

But also, even this data is questionable in the extreme.

It may simply be that "10x" people who do exist do so in ways that are challenging to observe. As an example, not making difficult-to-detect mistakes early in the software lifecycle that cause major problems later (classic real world example: mongodb). Or that their influence on a software org causes overall productivity improvements.

In any case, it's a toxic myth that pits individuals against each other for demonstrations of productivity. I'm of the opinion it's a "self-defeating prophecy" or a good example of the "basilisk" effects in game theory.

YouTube's terms of service, in part, read:

4. General Use of the Service—Permissions and Restrictions

YouTube hereby grants you permission to access and use the Service as set forth in these Terms of Service, provided that:

A. You agree not to distribute in any medium any part of the Service or the Content without YouTube's prior written authorization, unless YouTube makes available the means for such distribution through functionality offered by the Service (such as the Embeddable Player).

B. You agree not to alter or modify any part of the Service.

This has been submitted multiple times in particular https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15135309 and https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15125348 got some traction [I´m not sure if there is another [dead] resubmission with more traction.]

Anyway, the takeaway of the comments is that this article is only an speculation without proofs.
No matter how simple you make the calculation of tax owed, you cannot simplify the complexity of relying on individuals and businesses to report accurate information to feed into the formulas.

You eventually have to define your terms, and those definitions will have the loopholes embedded in them.

That's not to say that simplification is useless. It would still cut a lot of waste out of the costs of collection, enforcement, and compliance.

I believe it is illegal (at least in some states) to use the card information for anything other than processing the payment. That is, I believe they cannot use it to track you and your purchase. This is one of the main reasons there are loyalty cards — to get you to explicitly consent to tracking.

edit: If they are allowed to track based on credit card, this would be a good reason to use Apple Pay, or some other payment method that generates a unique "card number" for every purchase.
> They, YouTube, RIAA, et al, do want to have their cake and eat it too. They took advantage of the internet and rushed to put their content on open networks, without fully understanding how that network operates fundamentally.

If there is one thing you can't accuse of RIAA of it's rushing to embrace the internet. Think about how long it's taken for digital downloads to become a first class citizen for music purchases! About how many streaming services have shut down under because they couldn't get enough labels to licence their music. etc

I'm sure the only reason many labels have official YouTube channels is because people were uploading music videos already so they figured they might as well get that ad revenue themselves. Otherwise they'd just be licensing their content the old way to radio networks, TV stations and, more recently, the limited number of streaming services who can afford their expensive contracts.

(Posted under a throwaway account).

My use case: as a Russian citizen living in Russia but planning to release an app, I'd much rather prefer doing it via an EU company than via a Russian company.

First, there's a lot of nasty stuff happens to business owners who don't have proper "protection" (their businesses get "transferred" to the right people and they themselves go to jail on phony charges for not wanting to sell their business for peanuts).

Second, the situation in Russia will definitely get worse, and when that happens, the problem I described above will also get worse. I just don't want to expose a business generating revenue in USD in Russia. And if it gets exposed (which it will, due to the automatic information exchanges between jurisdictions), I will have an additional barrier of protection against unwanted "transfers" -- it's easy to do to a Russian business, but it's much harder with foreign companies.

And third, selling an app while being listed in app stores as a Russian company definitely won't improve my first impressions, given all the hype about Russian hackers (there's even an example of it in this thread!)

By the way, if you want to register a company, go with a provder like LeapIN.eu -- they're fantastic.

I don't know anything about law, but here is my simple thought on the matter:

If your server responds to my request and gives a copy to me, how can I be doing anything illegal?

There probably isn't a law which says that I have to use Chrome to access YouTube. IMO, youtube-dl is just another browser (albeit a very specialized one).

Also, I wonder what would eventually happen if we started making specialized browsers that first send a "EULA"? It would say something like "By responding to this request, you agree that I am authorized to receive a copy of whatever you send to me..." I guess it would work for a while before big sites started blocking your requests, but there's nothing to say that each EULA has to be standardized or easy to recognize (kinda like how big sites bury the EULA/TOS in fine print).

I might be misunderstanding your comment, but I'm curious to hear more about why you have felt that Buddhist monks have been communicated as being "directly opposite" to Christian clergy? Having studied and adopted practices from both traditions, this statement doesn't seem to accurately reflect core values from either of them.

(I understand that "Christian" and "Buddhist" are very broad categories, and that there are myriad forms contained within each of them...)

It's my favorite build system. A big advantage is automatic dependency tracking. It picks up unspecified inputs and automatically rebuilds anything further down the dependency tree. It also knows how to clean up files that it no longer generates since it understands you removing and adding build steps.

I can do huge refactors and it cleans up files without any additional work from me. The filesystem watch automatically builds things so I never have to run it directly. I use it on my production server when deploying since it's 100% accurate at incrementally moving between different project states.

There are definitely some disadvantages, you have to work around its syntax and limitations. For complicated build functions I've written the config in Lua and it works fine.

>the shorter is forgotten and all work put into it becomes worthless

Then one can commit work to (what is believed to be) the current, longest chain, only to find later that a branch occurred and the work was lost? As such it is then incumbent upon the contributor to follow the chain for some period of time until other work has contriubted to the chain?

So how long is long enough? one contribution? ten? Serious question. How does one know with certainty that work was accepted by group consensus?

This uncertainty seems to undermine the idea that blockchain is a trustworthy, predictable, verifiable ledger of activity if the work contributed cannot be known as reliably preserved at the time it is submitted, only later in review.

I admit I'm fairly ignorant of the details of this, just attempting to understand. I hope I am misunderstanding something; somebody please steer me back onto the path.
Not a transcode just a mux of the different audio and video files into a container such as MP4 or MKV. Pop ffmpeg in the same directory as youtube-dl and it will do the work for you. A simple 'youtube-dl [video url] -f bestvideo+bestaudio' will get you a nice single file with the best audio and video :)
Yeah.. I can't really find anything wrong or onerous with requiring a disclosure. Everyone should know, but just in case they don't, a piece of paper explaining this during onboarding isn't a huge deal.
It will as useful as EU's cookie law. Every employee on joining any company will be notified that corporate emails are monitored, similar to 'CCTV in operation' signs. It will be another checkbox on the contract.
Sure, that's the traditional way of doing things, and I like its simplicity and the fact that the 40 years old core concept is still so useful.

But most of us want to require() modules also in the browser, so you'll anyway need browserify or other bundler, which already have cross-platform watch mode & plugin ecosystem, and are expected to be run continously, and suddenly the Makefile feels rather redundant, especially with npm scripting.
Getting to the source of #3, another piece of advice is to never define yourself, or your ego, by the things you use.

You might program in C on Linux. You might game on an xbox. You might have tried Rust or Go and think they're pretty groovy. You might have an iphone.

None of these are a part of your ego. They aren't a part of your image. You don't need to feel attacked if someone criticizes, rightly or wrongly, your choices.
That should be a browser option. (Show exit full-screen button or not.)

Also, especially for video, the browser should be able to play it full screen without any distractions.

Of course, there are optional enhancements (subtitles, or different audio tracks) driven via JS. And for those the controls have to go somewhere.

Ideally, if there were a standard for those, the browser could handle it. (But then we're at the problem of an ever bloating browser.)
