> Despite the truncated rounding, the technique could probably still be valuable.

How would that work exactly?

As long as a title has over, say, 10,000 sales, rounded percentages don't eliminate any possible values for the total number. If one value doesn't give you any information, how would sampling more values help?

I agree with the rest of your comment, but I think this Ceylon is probably closer to Kotlin. is unfair on Ceylon

Kotlin basically has the Java type system with a few extensions, but no substational changes.

Ceylon has its own type system that draws heavily from the FP/ADT style of thinking. It's not OCaml (nor does it want to be), but it's also not Kotlin.
Fabrice Bellard.. He is already popular a bit... But most don't know about him....
Hrmm... I'm not sure. At any point in the protocol is there a "copyright bit"? It only takes one bit, and it doesn't even have to be documented as serving that purpose. The StreamboxVCR case ended up cementing into law (because the Streambox people ran out of money and couldn't appear to answer the last appeal by RealNetworks) that disobeying one undocumented bit is all it takes to run afoul of section 1201 of the DMCA. I imagine there might be such a bit in the YouTube stream but I don't know. I'm also not sure how you could defend in court that creating the temporary copy in memory for purposes of playing a stream is given permission, but creating a more permanent one is not. Courts have held that transitory copies in memory are actual copies, and can constitute real infringement, but obviously YouTube gives implicit permission to users to the creation of that copy, and youtube-dl doesn't actually create any additional copies beside that, it just keeps it.

Reminds me of "The Underground Man", a book I bought second hand just because I liked the title.

Which is one of the aspects of why the DMCA is such bad law and DRM in general is a complete waste of time.

If you hand someone a stream of bits and a decryption key that turns it into a movie. They will figure out how to keep the decrypted movie around if they want or need to do that.

So then you get into a coevolutionary arms race where content licensing organizations feel they have the right to imposes draconian restrictions on peoples personal electronics. And mandated spyware is not really ethical either.
Some even argue that HTTP won over Gopher because of Multimedia, more exactly image, support.

Anyway, let's say that you're right: something that would have taken him only 1 hour takes you 3 hours, because you're still learning about the code. I can tell you, speaking as someone whose time is valuable and who has to delegate tasks to people who don't know the code as well as I do, that I know it's going to take them longer, but it's an investment we have to make to get more people up to speed.

I understand that in your circumstances, "relax a little" is not easy advice to take, but it might be the best advice I can give you — along with making sure you have enough uninterrupted work time. It does sound like you need to get out of the house.
I feel like the first rule of youtube-dl is not to talk about youtube-dl. I keep expecting Google (and all the other sites it works on) to start taking active measures to disable it. At some point YouTube is going to require an EME module to play even "free" videos.

Invoke a Workflow from a YouTube video on my iPhone -> Dropbox file gets appended with all the details of video -> Hazel is watching this file and triggers the Python script -> which converts the video to MP3, slaps on relevant tags and cover-art and uploads it to my iCloud Music Library [1].

So I can have an MP3 song on my iPhone minutes after I’ve watched the video on YouTube.

In my own experience, people who have dubious morals are not good for business.

Perhaps "less likely". My own experience is that people who try to bend the rules are less intelligent, and less likely to be successful. This seems to be backed up by research:

Of course, this may not work in China, if things are still the same as described in the article.
> Chinese innovation should outpace the United States in the coming years

This may be true but it’s not an inevitability, or at least it wasn’t always. Innovation is not just a function of population. Policy also makes a big difference. For the US in particular, immigration policy could make or break its success in tech. See Paul Graham’s famous article “Let in the Other 95%”.

These two statements do not seem consistent with each other. If 4 - 6 hours of your work day is wasted anyway, you might as well spend at least some of that doing things to make yourself more productive.

No, the page content is never sent to the server. all the server does is serve a static HTML page with some javascript. The javascript reads the compressed encoded data in the URL (the fragment which browsers never send to the server during a request) and then it decodes the data and writes the data to the current DOM.

All content data is stored in the link itself and never seen by the itty.bitty server.
Although an awful lot of this difference is due to poverty and shouldn't be romanticized. I was recently in Cambodia and the new thing there is that they've recently gotten smartphones. Yes, some of the people I was with bemoaned this fact as it meant that things were becoming "less authentic", but the thing is, due to the lack of computers, the smartphone revolution is also the Internet revolution there. It is an wonderful thing from the Cambodian perspective.

It is smaller then data urls becausde the base HTML and javascript is provided by the itty.bitty server and not part of the data url. Only the inner content is encoded. So it is much smaller then a data url but requires a server to serve the initial decoding HTML page.
European companies are even worst than Americans in that sense. With so much regulation they block any small player who wants to compete and keep the power and money in the hand of few people.

Yup, typically what a native Indonesian would say about how easy their language is. But foreigners are often tripped with other aspects of the grammar, which the native take for granted, such as those tikwidd mentions: noun classifiers, morphological derivation, a high number of prefixes/suffixes/infixes and their combination, lack of cue on how to pronounce the different "e" vowels, etc.

Simple answer, no.

Trained AI works (in the simplest terms) by incrementally tweaking coefficients in mathematical statements to best approximate a set of data points provided. Generally it does this by being able to measure how close or far away the AI is from the right answer in trainable cases and then minimizing this distance.

For this to work in cryptography, we would need to have a formula which already breaks cryptography in a general sense that we can tweak for specific cases using AI.

What AI might be able to do is to demonstrate previously undiscovered relationships in number theory by throwing a whole heap of cryptographical relationships at an AI to uncover an undiscovered correlation. The chances of this are pretty small, but an AI might get lucky.
By the way, how should one measure language difficulty objectively? I think one proxy can be: the number of years a non-native learner typically requires before reaching a certain level.

The real problem is that it can only protect the files on your computer. If you have data that's fed directly to google, there's no simple software to get it back out to where it can be backed up.

It's especially bad with games because music gets updated and changed all the time. Official soundtracks often leave tracks out, take for example Civilization V which has an official soundtrack with like 30 tracks, when the game itself has more like 300. It's up to avid players of the game to compile and document the full collection.

Game developers by and large don't give a shit if the musician's work is preserved. If they don't make an effort then as far as I'm concerned they're forfeiting their right to take issue with the morality of downloading their game's music.

I also spend my profits helping people via charity and community projects.

It's not moral from some guy or girl to take from me at gun point or threat of being put into a cage because they think they can allocate my earnings to Their causes... instead of the ones in my community that I'm working so hard to help.
