Not everyone wants to 'make a quick buck'. It's a shame that one has to get a lawyer to draft a letter to get noticed when it comes to something like this.

We're in the digital age. Email should work. Customer support should escalate and send an internal email or communicate to the appropriate person and/or dept (legal) as well, instead of just saying 'i cant (or dont want to) help you, please redirect here -> X'. This just shows how disconnected and teams are at a company. Oh and don't get me started about crappy autoresponder emails like that.

"Stuff like this happens all the time" is not an excuse. Not when it comes to sexual harassment, and not when it comes to copyright infringement or about shoddy customer support.

This seems like unintelligible gibberish:

>The issue starts from the 13 DNS root zone servers, which servers from many public/private internal connected networks connects to these 13 DNS root zone named authorities. The following link shows all corporations that exists at Securities Exchanges Commission, which doesn’t include there are 45508 companies listed in stock exchanges around the world (List of Companies at SEC)(2017). According to reports, The latest article that researchers found named “Neira Jones” reported the U.S Largest Databreach on Paper.li site that reports large to midsized databreaches (Hackbusters Reports Largest Databreach in History)(2017). Root Servers. The authoritative name servers that serve the DNS root zone, commonly known as the “root servers”, are a network of hundreds of servers in many countries around the world, which permissions were replicated on internal servers exposing massive amounts of sensitive forbidden documents. They are configured in the DNS root zone as 13 named authorities, as follows.(INTERNET ROOT SERVERS)(2017). These are listed companies. The number of formal unlisted companies would be a wild guess as there is no central quantified effort to build an international registry. So taking a different approach, in countries like USA, there is one company for every 11 people. In some others, there are 0. A rough extrapolation based on economic freedom and worldwide business numbers from UN reports would mean that there is a company for every 60 people on the planet. That brings us to ~115 Million companies.

How will you prove they deceived you? Moreover they might not be as competent as they sound. By the time you realize the deception, you might have gone bankrupt. Only by learning the basics we can hope to protect ourselves against bad advise.
They could quite easily just stop filtering news and give the users the tools to filter things for themselves.
Checkmate, laziness!
It’s all about putting fraud liability completely on the bank and not on yourself for the duration of an investigation. And building credit.
To my knowledge, it's because if somebody steals money off your debit card, they've stolen YOUR money. You gotta fight with the bank to get it back.

But thanks to consumer protection laws, if somebody steals money off your credit card, they've stolen the BANK'S money. It's up to the bank to get it back.

It is not being lucky. It feels bad when it happens to you. It will not be a lot of money. It is just a lot of problem and the realization that some people use your work to make money without even paying the small fee you are charging, and it gives you a bad reputation as the person who sued xxx over a picture.

You just described the "xMac", the code-name that all the fans and nerds used for the computer they wished for during the 'aughts.

And I think there's some possibility that a computer like this is on the horizon. Apple wouldn't announce a feature like first-class external GPU support unless they had really big plans for it. Maybe the new Mac Pro they promised will be more like what you're envisioning...
It is obvious they are the same photo, especially the backside. Any jury would believe it, just superimpose the images on top of each other.

The defense isn't that they took the photo themselves, it's that they stumbled upon the photo on a site that misattributed it to a CC license, which is probably exactly what happened. If you do a reverse image search on the original photo, it has been uploaded as-is to hundreds of places: https://www.google.ca/search?hl=en-CA&q=custom+black+hard+pl...

My sympathies are with Netflix here. It's unreasonable to expect them to do a full genealogical search for every random stock photo they use so that they can trace these hundreds of photos back to some Australian blog.
Thanks for providing the details. What are the relevant decisions?
Even if one doesn't want to make a quick buck, making one is the best way to get companies to behave. If Netflix ends up paying $200K every few months with a negative PR hit for IP infringement they will improve their processes to avoid it.

Lawyering up is a service to the entire ecosystem, not just to yourself.

Agreed. Given our current state, NN is a positive IMHO. However, I hope that once the NN battle is over, regardless of the outcome, we start moving towards attacking the competition problem.
> Abu Dhabi is a boring racetrack

Dunno, I love driving around in various racing sims and it's a lot of fun with a decent amount of passing unlike many circuits (GRID Autosport, F1 201x etc.)

The real-life F1 passing is pretty bad right now; that's not a problem with the circuit itself.
Student here.

200 people in a class, I can't even get my questions answered. True story, miss one sentence, and you're lost at a point of no return. It makes sense for me to learn it on my own pace outside of class and visit during office hours. Let me use my laptop in class so that I can still continue to be productive during the hour. (doing other work)

Whether I take notes or not should be up to me as a student. Banning electronics does not guarantee learning. If I don't want to learn/listen, then I won't. You can take a horse to the water, but you can't get it to drink.
I'm not judging conclusions but the logic used to arrive at them.

I'm a mental health service user who has experienced psychosis and multi-week hospitalisation. I know what I'm talking about when I express hope for a more objective and -- ideally -- by today's standards seemingly omniscient AGI for treatment/therapy. Human therapists are unfortunately variable in quality, and they often participate in a system of casual oppression of the mentally ill, even if you discount whatever they charge for their services.

So, I don't lack earnestness. On the contrary, I strongly believe in a reductionist model of the brain. Who would deny that a sufficiently advanced AGI should be able to diagnose and treat mental illness, enlisting whatever social and emotional (or biopsychosocial) interventions are necessary or economical.

You seem to be waving your hands and saying that physical reality is not susceptible to deterministic modelling and interventions; or maybe you just mean that the brain is too complex for AGI to grasp. Either way, I think you overestimate the diversity and functional complexity of mental disorders, and underestimate the capability of a focused diagnostic intelligence. The promise of AGI is that it will get to the bottom of the dynamics of the patient's disorder. Once you have that picture, you can deploy appropriate social/emotional resources (and much more economically, which means it could actually happen in dysfunctional health systems.)

Even if it's just "good enough" and in the right direction. That would be a huge improvement on the existing situation.

As for AI being "the tool I am working with", I'm not involved in AI/ML in any way. AGI to me means human-equivalent intelligence, however implemented. The hope that it could be massively augmented relative to a human expert is uncontroversial (for example, it is anticipated in the way that self-driving car systems will learn from parallel acquisition of data by many vehicles.)

So, as a patient, it seems to me that better insight into the dynamics of the illness (via AI) is a huge potential benefit. Human generosity and empathy is often helpless in the face of severe mental illness -- relatives suffer for years without any hope of improvement. So I'm not sympathetic to the idea that what is needed is just more uninformed but kind and generous front-line human cannon fodder. Mental health is a very difficult profession.
For now you may think facebook merely facilitates regression. Eventually we'll see them enable repression. The gap is narrow, when one decides to manipulate people by manipulating the news feed they see as well as selling screen space in that "news feed".

Here is an example of the unfortunate side effects of manipulation: One month ago a dear friend of mine posted an obit for her mother. Facebook did not include it in my "feed." I only found out because yesterday I thought "hey, I haven't heard from K for a while..." and typed her name in the search box.

When revolutions shall come, facebook may hide them from you.

And the lawmakers in the US know a dirty secret: if taxpayers had to actually write a check for their entire tax bill on April 15 each year there would be blood in the streets.

Instead - the withholding system not only keeps the riots at bay but also makes “tax day” a happy day as money rains from the sky onto almost every US household [1]. Horray, it’s TAX DAY! Honey, we’re going to dinner and takin’ the kids to Walmart to pick out a prize!

first, it’s backed by a number of other cryptocurrencies, so that mitigates the risk of any one reserve currency tanking somewhat.
Second, in the event that the reserve is worth less than the number of Unum issued, a reserve deficit sell penalty is applied to any sales. The penalty is 1/10th of the deficit percent. So if the reserve was worth $900k, but 1mil Unum we’re in circulation, there would be a deficit of 10%, and any sales would incur a 1% sale penalty. This is meant to encourage would-be sellers to either wait, or sell elsewhere.
They're a lot more powerful once you start utilizing their hardware peripherals like DMA. With a STM32F4 it's possible to saturate a 100mbit PHY that pushes out that data to 100+ GPIOs while using all of the CPU just for bit interleaving and control signals. If your use case allows it, these microcontrollers can punch far above their weight with dedicated hardware when compared to general purpose CPUs

In 2017, it seems unreasonable to say one should have to resort to sending paid postage (from Australia) to simply get in contact with a company who has stolen their work.
From the article: "The strongest argument against allowing that choice is that one student’s use of a laptop harms the learning of students around them. In a series of lab experiments, researchers at York University and McMaster University in Canada tested the effect of laptops on students who weren’t using them. Some students were told to perform small tasks on their laptops unrelated to the lecture, like looking up movie times. As expected, these students retained less of the lecture material. But what is really interesting is that the learning of students seated near the laptop users was also negatively affected."

I was hesitant to switch from Gnome to Unity. Interestingly, I'm now nervous to switch back. I guess one grows accustomed to and fond of what one uses.
If you do a reverse image search on the original stock photograph in question, you will see that it has been reposted hundreds of times before this, surely without proper attribution. Obviously some guy in the graphics department found it and saw it was everywhere, attributed in all sorts of ways.

Is it really reasonable to expect everybody to go on an archaelogical dig to track down stock photos through hundreds of copies to trace the original from some Australian blog? If I use a snippet of "open source" code, am I morally/legally obligated to also scour the internet, trace its geneology through hundreds of Stack Overflow answers/random Github repos that it's already in, just to make sure the person licensing it as open source didn't, himself, steal it from somewhere else?
I totally get that that's how businesses are run now, and I'm sure that the OP would have to lawyer up and be prepared to spend time and $ regardless if he wants to pursue damages.

My argument is that the OP should have at least received a response from the company or have his/her concerns moved to the appropriate dept by the CS team, instead of being patronized by an autoresponder.
Those are all good points, and good reasons to be skeptical of the Intelligence Explosion narrative, but the author wasn't basing his objection on those reasons.

Let's write down the recipe for an modern social media comment:

1. Take person literally to a fault in order to create a counterpoint.

2. Say obviously true, yet embarrassingly vague things to defend that counterpoint.

3. Respond "I'm not talking about that" when any possibility of nuance would enter the discussion.
Since Netflix is the distributor, I think contacting them is not wrong here. But yes, contacting The Duffer Brothers and 21 Laps Entertainment may also help.

His recommendation is based on the USA consumer protection laws so it may or may not apply in other countries.

For credit cards, US law limits your personal liability to $50 (typically $0). "Under the FCBA, your liability for unauthorized use of your credit card tops out at $50. However, if you report the loss before your credit card is used, the FCBA says you are not responsible for any charges you didn’t authorize. If your credit card number is stolen, but not the card, you are not liable for unauthorized use."[1]

If you contest a charge, you are NOT required to pay that amount until the matter is resolved. Resolving it typically takes two or more months, but it isn't your problem and doesn't affect your life during this period. If it is resolved in your favor, dealing with the loss/recovery/reversal is not your problem, it is like it never happened (for you). The bar you need to achieve to show a charge was fraudulent is pretty low - typically a phone call to challenge the charge and a followup letter with a statement and any documentation available (as simple as stating you did not order/receive the goods shown or the goods were damaged).

Debit cards typically have limits to liability, but the stolen money is not restored until the matter is resolved. It typically is a LOT more work and can be several months to get the card issuer to make you whole again. Also, with a debit card, the theoretical limit of what the thieves can take is ALL the money in your bank account (and more with overdrafts). The bills don't stop while you are unwinding the mess and your money is unavailable... You can end up in a big hole; restoration of original funds that were stolen does not make you whole because of the "knock-on" charges and losses while your money was unavailable.

RePicvid Free Photo Recovery Software – Restore Deleted Photos/Videos/Audios
I agree with you here, to gain copyright a work must comprise a creative element, here this is a neutral photo of a VHS tape, which tries to be objective and by definition not creative at all, so it does not generate a copyright.
What’s actually happened here is that a designer has lifted an image off the web (probably through a google image search) for a design, and that design has made it through to production.

I’m not saying it’s ok. But I’d be willing to wager that no one at Netflix had any ideas where those images came from. The design was most likely from a design agency, and even the top brass at the agency probably had no idea where those images came from. At the root of this there’s a designer who’s probably been asked to rush out a design, they’ve taken a shortcut and they’ve been rumbled.

Again, it’s not OK to steal images, but I seriously doubt Netflix knew that’s what they were doing.
"voting with the wallet"

This is why research grants and outright government spending is a good tool in the toolbox. People are still paying for it through taxes, but because of the indirect nature we can judge the problem a bit more on its merits ("of course we want cancer research to happen and be funded")
I switched to Gnome for 17.10 (Gnome proper, not Ubuntu Gnome) and it's been amazing.

Facebook is known to collect key presses. If I express a desire to commit suicide in a status update, but don't actually post it, thus not showing it to anybody except Facebook, would that (should it?) be covered by HIPAA? What if I keep paper diary? What if it's in Google docs instead?
It's not copyright infringement, it's fair use. Please use the proper words.
Because at the moment I can do whatever I want with those 200mb. It's not 200mb of "Facebook data" or 200mb of "Youtube data", it's just data.

Ok, so the problem is in the legal arena; the government bans banks from allowing cryptocurrency transactions.

I don't know if it is unreasonable. I don't have lawyers working for me, but even I know that you don't just use random images you find from Google image search for commercial purposes. Even for noncommercial but public use can be iffy.
I've been watching F1 for about 13 years and it's always the same after a boring race. No matter how exciting a couple of preceding races could have been, there's gonna be a shit storm. Too bad it's the last race of the season. Back in 2009 it was clear the track is rubbish.

E-sports? That's nice, but we've had sim racing for a long time. And F1 2017 is not even a simulator. It's made for the broad audience, who would play it on a PS4 with its controller, but not for hardcore sim racers.

Vandoorne competed in a serious rFactor F1 league and it's not like he was the fastest guy.
This is good research. But honestly you come off a bit condescending. Should Dr. Lui really know how to handle the situation where an international, billion dollar company steals his art from a blog he wrote?
