The issue is that Google is, in fact, scraping news content and delivering it to users while cutting the creators of that news out of the revenue. Google doesn't have a "special duty" to fund the news, it has an obligation to pay for what it's taking, usually without permission to do so.
From the graph it looks like it really took off in the 90's and then again around 2010.

Is this a strong ruling that establishes precedent and is unlikely to be overturned? (Forgive me for not having a great understanding of the legal world.)

Here are a couple of cases that I'm especially interested in:

1. Does this mean that it is legal to scrape "database"-type websites for statistics and provide them on your own website? Could one use this ruling and copy all of IMDB's film data? Repackage that data into a Creative Commons website? Or a better set of tools for casting agents?

2. What about social or community-curated websites? Could you mirror all Reddit comments (which used to be Creative Commons anyway) to a more dev-friendly site? Don't force a mobile app down people's throats? Make it ad-free, donation-supported like Wikipedia?

3. What about big media? Could you bootstrap a new video site by scraping all existing (or popular) YouTube videos? Provide a means for owners to "claim ownership" of their account on the new site? Then market it as YouTube "but grown up" (18+)?

4. Kind of getting off-topic, but could you build a new music service by temporarily ignoring copyright, copying pirated music, then pivot to something that does collect money (via ads or subscriptions) for the music rights holders? I'm thinking Spotify, but built for music connoisseurs. Rich APIs with tagging, smart playlists, etc.

How likely would any of these be to avoid lawsuits until they're big enough to hire a legal team? Are certain behaviors less legal than others?

I'd really appreciate feedback on this. (Thanks in advance!)

> Google can't index Facebook content or Twitter content even though it's public

They index plenty of their content [1][2]. What they don't index is content not explicitly marked as "Public". e.g. Facebook posts with visibility settings or protected tweets. FB, Twitter, and now LinkedIn have plenty of content that's not publicly accessible: that is, content which doesn't require a logged-in account that explicitly agreed to TOS/EULA, but they have tons of publicly-accessible content, too. The latter is fair-game.

That said, the Craigslist lawsuit is still bewildering to me. That content is explicitly public, does not require a login, and the only agreements are the automatic unforceable browsewrap ones. The LinkedIn v. HiQ case is very similar to the Craigslist v. 3Taps, however the decisions are in opposite directions.

I mean we have built a nice ORM for FoundationDB, but eventually we found several bugs in it and we just didn't write to our indexes correctly or put several indexes in the same subspace. Then we started to migrate our data (we were so crazy that moved large chunk of our production data already!) and we found that our migrators are also have problems. Basically our data was not consistent at all.

There are almost no easy way to ensure that everything is OK.

Also I have fear that we probably deleted something and there are no way to prohibit modification of certain keys.

> “Most of the journalism I read in America right now is interested in how the internet is going to affect the business of publishing. I personally think that the internet represents simply an enormous flood of available information and entertainment and sensations with very little assistance to the consumer in terms of choosing, finding, discerning between those choices and this sort of rabid, capitalist fervor with which the internet is being not just developed but invested in. I don’t have to tell you about the .com stock market explosion and all that. It seems to me, as just a layman and an amateur, that the internet is almost the perfect distillation of the American capitalist ethos, a flood of seductive choices. It’s completely laissez-faire, with no really effective engines for choosing or searching and everybody being much more interested in the economic and material aspects of it than some of the aesthetic and ethical and moral and political questions attached to it.“

BBT laughs AT nerds, reinforcing stereotypes in non-nerds and reassuring the mainstream about its superiority.

SV laughs WITH nerds, satirising the excesses of a culture that is presented as filthy rich and dominant beyond belief. It also deals with the actual wet dreams of the culture in a fairly realistic way.

Think about the material that a dim bully could get from BBT (tons), versus what he could get from SV (very little). That’s all the difference.

Karl Marx. And I see the point the parent is making, although that's probably more of an issue in the USA than in Europe for instance. And I do agree that it's a shame because the writings of Marx are extremely interesting and deserve to be studied and discussed even if you don't believe in socialism and communism, it's really about economy in general first and foremost. Dismissing this important ground-breaking work because of what people did in its name decades after Marx's death is pretty strange. You could argue that he was wrong in his "praxis" but the diagnostic is very thorough, methodical and unfortunately a lot of it is very much relevant.

And let's not even talk about whatever rebranding of Marx is used as a strawman these days, like this "cultural marxism" dog whistle I hear 10 times a day and I can't be bothered to figure out what that's even supposed to mean anymore. Actually I just tried to search the term and the first result was an entry on "urban dictionary" which goes like:

But even if they didn't, they would still have a commercial incentive to get it in the hands of as many people as possible.
There's a fellow that's discovered a piece of legislation in 1970 that was the turning point for all this lobbying taking over congress so heavily. The lynch pin of his argument is that we have to remove lobbyists from the actual physical galleries in congress and preserve the anonymous nature of how each congressman votes so they can vote their conscious and not how their lobbyist handlers choose. It's a counter-intuitive idea because everyone is already sold on wanting to know how their congressmen voted.

> Can also put two distance sensors on and fet the angle using some trig.

That is exactly what I was planning to do next. I realized that when the angle was greater, it would see the distance to the wall as higher than it really is, because of trigonometry. And that is a positive feedback loop which makes it worse. (I just realized that is only true when it headed towards the wall at an angle, but is the opposite when heading away from the wall at an angle. It reacts later (steer right) when it's angle towards the wall, but it should react sooner (steer left) when it's angled away from the wall... hmm...) Getting the angle, I could set a target angle and distance together, and steer as needed.
I can easily offer an existence proof for "six figure jobs" in security that do not require previous experience in security to obtain. I don't think we're that far out of the mainstream.

In fairness, attempts have been made to translate the revolution part of his ideas into functional policy at least twice now and both events have included massive violence (and one has followed up that massive violence with a general mismanagement of public resources to the detriment of the "unconnected," not unlike the pain inflicted upon them by the previous ruling class).

At this point, the burden of proof is on the theory to show merit. It's a bit like Extreme Programming in that regard---looks great on paper, but how many times does it get to fall short of its promises before people stop blaming the implementers for "holding it wrong" and start talking seriously about the flaws in the originating theory?

Vue is very close to a straight-forward approach. I would argue that Mustache.js would be a more straight-forward approach than Vue since it is simply a string parsing library for binding JSON objects to templates. No event binding, no black box, just simple template rendering and then you can do whatever you want with the rendered string.
Isn't using pretrained CNN models make embedding biased towards extracting features that were relevant from the dataset (i.e. ImageNet) it learned from? Fine-grained classification uses triplet and siamese networks to learn an embedding based on semantic similarity, but you have to define what is semantically similar in the dataset. I am curious how well pretrain networks generalize for indexing for image search. I think finding papers how pinterest and ebay apply visual search at scale may shed some light on this.

you start wondering why your ReX built regex isn't working how you want). Apparently the main "feature" of ReX is you get to annotate the components of a regex string.

// match something that looks like a date in the form 02-14-1924
let x = "";
x += '\d{2}'; // match the month
x += '\-';
x += '\d{2}'; // match the day
x += '\-';
x += '\d{4}'; // match the year

Even this is horribly overcomplicated example would just be `\d{2}\-\d{2}\-\d{4}`.
The Rex library provides no useful abstractions to simplify vanilla javascript and regex.

If a (dynamically built) regex misbehaves, I'm only inspecting the lines of code that compose the string, not an entire library to understand what went wrong.

Back in the time when I was working on jobs for Google (they were my employer's client), withgoogle.com was a domain where we hosted things like "über-doodles", all the funky gizmos, etc. It's basically so that they don't run "experimental" / "untrusted" code in the same cookie domain as google.com; same thing goes for googleusercontent.com, where they store user-uploadable media.

There are two distinct internets already, getting bandwidth to move data in and out of China is an expensive proposition, combined with the Great Firewall makes it such that domestic companies have significant advantages compared to overseas competitors.

Those domestic companies seem to be starting to innovate on their own, though there is quite a bit of back and forth between US researchers and their counterparts in China. Whether or not this will translate to commercial success outside the protective walled garden is questionable, thus far we haven't seen Baidu or others break into major markets outside China and keep its apps, websites, etc popular for more than brief blips.
There is no change to the developer experience when a VM speculates about things like this. Browsers speculate about things that are more complex than this already.

It doesn't matter if eval is optimizeable in the general case. It only matters if this speeds up some cases without hurting others, on average. VMs and compilers are great at doing such optimizations already.

You don't have to fork V8 since there are other JavaScript implementations. I recommend JavaScriptCore because it's the fastest.

Similarly, Ruby, Python, and Lua all have multiple competing implementations and some folks pick them based on performance. Java is special, but that's because HotSpot emerged as the victor in a brutal multi-implementation battle for Java performance supremacy. Java used to have many implementations that all contributed something to our modern knowledge of VM design and this wouldn't have happened without the competition.

Therefore, I think you're wrong on both numbers. Number 1 - this is not a semantically visible optimization; it just makes programs take less time on average; Number 2 - in practice, languages absolutely do have multiple competing implementations.

I disagree. Classic user interfaces are superior here as well. Just pick the tool you want instead of convincing some shape recognition system that whatever you just scribbled is some class of basic shape. You could just pick that shape from a shelf of tools.
> Is there an inherent problem with income inequality?

Yes, because once you get past the truly abject absolute poverty (which isn't an issue for most of the developed world), there's a lot of indication that experienced utility or disutility is driven more by relative material position than absolute position. So, yes, outside of very poor economies (where absolute gains that increase inequality may still improve utility across the board), increases in inequality are very often utilitarian ills that are not compensated by absolute gains at the lower end.

This is something that economists have debated over for decades since. Stiglitz specifically attacks Reagan on that front. Milton Friedman defends it.

Reagan was the last president to make a deep impact change in how economics and politics relate. He was unique in the way he self-deprecated government, something that is truly rare for presidents. He would actively advocate the government was the problem not the solution, a famous line by Milton Friedman on his economic ideas.

To this day, I am awed at the air-traffic controller firing. I am from a country with a pervasive strike culture, to the point that even cops strike, and it has been unfathomable for any president , of any ideology, from dictatorships to democratic socialists, to fire a swath of strikers.
