I'm not comparing it to a full movie. I am demonstrating that it is trivially easy to find copyrighted content on YouTube's platform. A list of clips like this is something that other industries/companies get sued over. If I steal your money 2% at a time, I don't get to claim that it doesn't count because each chunk wasn't the whole thing.

Personally I wouldn't actually care about stuff like this, and accept the DMCA safe harbor as a valid argument to protect YouTube and similar sites. However, all of them have started to, or already been deep into, do content curation. Once you take an active role in the content available on your service I dont think you should be able to argue that you can't help what users upload. They are trying to have their cake and eat it too
Post the copyright sunset, if his software is already available for free, then why would someone pay money for it?

To answer your second question, most individual users of Linux use it for the openness, not the zero cost. I'd imagine businesses do not care so much about openness, though mine is extremely paranoid against using closed source.
My dad told me of seeing some fighter jets following a light in the sky near Lemore airforce base just a few years ago. He figured it was another jet, but then the light did, what seemed to him, an impossible turn, then took off north at an incredible speed. The fighter jets followed, but not even close to the same speed, as the light was no longer visible a few seconds after it turned direction due to its apparent speed.
What to make of it? Who knows.
Exactly.

I don't want to get all political, but the people pushing for this definition change are (usually) economic leftists that are naturally worried about the size and power of corporations. It's their default state. There's nothing wrong with that, but be upfront with your motives and don't mask empirical concern with political ideology.

These people would have broken up Walmart in the 90s and Sears in the 70s if they could, and look where both of those companies are now.
In the case of a startup, the question is just the opposite. It’s about moving fast and being nimble more than it is about worrying about a distant future where lock-in could possibly be an issue. I would be all in on leveraging as many of the services that the cloud provider offers and where they could take care of the “undifferentiated heavy lifting”.
Man, the comments on those videos... just wow. Thanks for the entertainment.

Thanks, my reply wasn't very good either. I suspect most people can disable UPnP without ever noticing a problem. If anything, it is more used by malware than anything you actually want.
Walmart's tactics are extremely well-known and well-cited but if you're unable to even glance at the Wikipedia page: [1] [2] [3] [4].

You would have to be not arguing in good faith to somehow not be aware of all of the monopolistic and anti-consumer tactics Walmart has pulled, been accused of and has had to legally dealt with over the long period of time they've been active. So if you want to make any arguments about how the free market works, I think you should start by looking deeply at how Walmart is ran.

> The iPhone 6 is trouble plagued, and the MacBook had a keyboard the dies if it gets dusty

Anecdotally, I bought my mom an iPhone 6 and she hasn't complained of any issues, and my 2016 15" MacBook Pro literally survived being trashed (in the form of dropping it, trying to crack it open, probably kicking it around, maybe even using it as a chopping board) by the Mossad.

I've heard many people on the mailing lists talk about wanting to add hygienic macros–so when you're talking about "full-fledged macros", are you talking about unhygienic or hygienic ones?

> See Joe Groff's talk for details

I'm actually curious how much is possible, in terms of reflection capability, both currently and in the future. How close can I get to the dynamism of say the Objective-C runtime? Can I grab a function pointer knowing its mangled name? Can I list every class in a binary by consulting the runtime metadata? Can I "swizzle"?
There are some really fantastic testing resources in the Ruby community. The talk that most influenced my approach to building unit tests (even though I write Go these days) was one of Jim Weirich’s: https://youtu.be/983zk0eqYLY

I'm not quite so sure why everyone is happy to just blindly trust Cloudflare. These are the people who play games when Adobe Flash "updater" sites which are clearly, obviously and unambiguously hosting Trojans are hosted via their services.

In fairness to RIM:

https://www.statista.com/statistics/266240/global-revenue-of...

Their revenue continued to grow in the early iPhone days. Blackberry was still the mobile for business users until iOS (and Android) caught up on application and service support that those users wanted/needed.

I don't think we've seen (yet) a situation where people will, en masse, depart the iOS platform. RIM failed to recognize (until too late) the desire for an iPhone-style device amongst business users, and ended up losing out to both Android and iOS devices. Android devices aren't offering anything (with regard to hardware and software capabilities) that is substantially different than what iOS devices offer. The primary differentiator today is the pricing, which it seems many Apple customers don't care about (enough to jump ship).
> you get other laptops that are really nice with a cost/return ratio that is a lot better.

The problem is that they'll all use Windows 10.

I switched to Apple because my Windows 10 experience was absolutely horrendous (literally 7m long start time).

(I can't use Linux because a core use is creating music and my software isn't available for it)

If Microsoft can improve Windows 10, which I don't see much chance of given how they keep screwing up their updates, there might be alternatives to Apple. But for now, OS X is the only competent software solution on the market
But it only works when debugger is attached I thought (which isn’t a practical work around).
Carriers are not invincible, submarines have gotten clear views of them before in military exercises, let alone missile swarms. The strongest defense a US carrier group has is the fact that there are 10 other carrier groups distributed around the world.

I think anyone who thinks that inflicting a sharp defeat on the US in the pacific would crush public morale and push it into a negotiated peace would have to be a very poor student of history.
Microsoft isn't mentioned because the world shifted in such a manner where Microsoft's monopoly is no longer as important. Nobody could have predicted this in the 80s and 90s, and this situation should be a learning lesson as to why antitrust measures should be extremely rare.
Me too, but I consciously don't comment on many threads.
No, it might be lived experience. I've been to NYC, I live in the bay area. The south bay is surprisingly run down and boring for what it is, it's redeeming qualities being tech, the weather and some nearby nature. The stripmalls exist there and it's a bit strange how shabby everything is compared to the rent. SF is nicer and worse in someways than san jose, and NYC is definitely better from a livability and interesting-ness perspective.

Not sure what Target or Walmart have to do with what I said.

Amazon doesn't control where you buy random stuff, but they have disproportionate influence in some areas, like books. I'm pretty sure they are already in the position to make or break some brands simply by banning or promoting them.
The websites google.com and facebook.com and twitter.com (to distinguish from their mobile apps) are very popular, but the most part these sites just render text and images.

google.com doesn't try to search my local drive. faceboook.com doesn't offer to share my local photos. Their usage of "browser as an OS" is extremely limited.

I worry about the other problem: the browser becomes so ubiquitous the OS disappears, along with any platform conventions and application interop.

Been using this since the beta on testflight and it has beeen awesome.
The only thing it needs IMO is the ability to whitelist WiFi networks not to run it on. I run a PiHole instance at home that does DoH through CF already so I have to remember to turn it off/on all the time to get the ad blocking.

Thanks! Good info. Yeah, was able to confirm that the Cloudflare app defaulted to DNS over https. That's an improvement over my previous attempts to excise cellular DNS traffic away from my carrier.

Is Cloudflare also servicing internet requests or are requests still being serviced by the cellular providers after DNS is resolved?
I laughed when I started reading this comment and then looked at your username. I've used your "js-xlsx" library and stepped through quite a bit of the code.

> How much would Google charge me to put a prominent banner next to the search box saying that Google recomends w3m for the best browsing experience on Google search?

They're under no obligation to sell their endorsement. And what difference does the specific price make for placement? Suppose it was a lot.

> Anyway, the point is that's something they can do, because they control so much of search. Bing putting up a banner that says hey, why don't you use Edge, pretty please doesn't have as much impact, because Bing has a smaller market share.

How is it different than a company that just has more money and can therefore afford to buy more advertising? It's effectively what they're doing -- they could have sold the space they're using to advertise Chrome to a third party for its market value. By using it themselves they're foregoing that revenue, essentially the Chrome division purchasing the space from the search division.
There are lots of foreign companies/individuals who come to China to develop + manufacture hardware, and need help. With Chinese and electronics experience you are all set.

So far I have mainly worked for small startups in R&D type of roles, which suits me well. The problems start when the company starts to grow.

At my current job I was the only developer when I started, now we’re at a dozen developers and they are talking about hiring a scrum master. That’s kind of my sign to start looking, which is a bit sad because this employer has been really good to me. Experience has shown me, however, that sticking around too long when a company gets over a certain size is not a good idea.

There is a long history of these sorts of rumors making the rounds shortly after the yearly iPhone announcement, only to later turn out to be complete nonsense.

The most recent example was in January 2018:

>Apple has reportedly slashed production orders for its iPhone X… sending shares in the world’s biggest company down on Monday.

The US giant has told Asian suppliers to halve manufacturing targets for the first three months of the year, from 40m units to 20m, according to the Japanese newspaper Nikkei. The news sent Apple shares falling by as much as 2.3pc in early trading

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/2018/01/29/apple-slow...

The reality turned out to be quite different.

>According to the latest estimates from IHS Markit, the iPhone X was the world’s most sold smartphone in the first 3 months of 2018, with 12.7 million units, while the iPhone 8 ranked second with 8.5 million units.

US is not annexing Iraq because then US will have to grant US citizenship to Iraqis and they will be free to move to mainland US. Nobody wants that, so instead US bombs the shit out of Iraq, honors its "independence" by erecting a pro-American puppet government, and acts surprised when shit falls apart.

So yeah, not all wars are the same, but people suffer all the same.
> The USA has the first military power in the whole world and could go and invade a bunch of countries if they wanted to and nobody would oppose them.

This is false. Have you heard of the korean war or the vietnam war? Or the afghanistan/iraqi war? There are ( and have been ) powers that opposed the US ( sometimes successfully ). Look at current day syria.

> Since they are not doing so, its hard to call them belligerent.

What? We have been in a state of perpetual aggressive war ever since ww2 ( frankly since the american revolution war if we are being honest ).

> The British Empire was way worse than the USA all things considered.

It may or may not have been worse. But being belligerent isn't a relative matter of comparison. It's a matter of state. It's like being pregnant. You are pregnant or you are not.

The US occupied Iraq for a decade and is still in Afghanistan. While we did not overtly annex, it is clear that the US attempted to control these countries. You would do better to make your point without the moralizing.
