Scraping, mostly no. Using them to make profit: yes. Since you then violate the copyright of the author as the original action was solely to make it public (assuming no profit was intended).

edit: Rehosting is not allowed as far as I know in Dutch law if you are attempting to make profit of it by not requesting it from the original owner. Rehosting it and not taking advantage and linking to the original article is allowed as far as I know. But maybe ask your lawyer for info if you really want to know.

What I learned from hackathons
> Removing headphone jack speeds up uptake of wireless headphones

1) And by doing this we create even more e-waste!

2) I do _not_ want wireless headphones! I almost exclusively use headphones when I am traveling by bus and train. This happens every 2-4 weeks. At the moment I have a cheap pair of wired headphones in my backpack. They need 0 maintenance. if I need them I just use them. They never needs charging and they never will break. If I have to switch to wireless headphones a) I have to start to take care about charging them and b) they will break after 3 years because the battery dies and can not be replaced.
If it's 10^9 requests, then obviously they are low-cost processes in the first place, so you're better off just re-doing the job that failed.

It’s amazing how many people don’t know how to use whois. Most doxxing I’ve witnessed comes from public info. The linking together of this info and promoting it is what creates more danger.

Since I assume most swatters are 12 year olds, that means they are less likely to know that Whois exists, therefore more likely to have the info because this author posted it.

Ask HN: What AI subtopic are you excited about?
Personally, I've been studying ML for the past few months, especially neuroscience inspired architectures, and I stumbled across https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modular_neural_network, which seem to be really useful for complex reasoning, though I can't find too much literature on the subject.
Do you think they could be useful?

Just because they're published on the internet doesn't mean you can rehost them - that's copyright infringement.

(The Internet Archive is very careful to skirt the edge of what's permissible and what they can get away with in this regard)
The real motivation for removing the jack was to sell airpods at 180$.
How much time did this guy save people by providing the content quickly and easily to users? I say fair game to Vladimir for his innovation.
But that is exactly my point: bluetooth is a better alternative to the headphone jack. In addition, fewer people use the headphone jack than people did one year ago.
NAL but I'd say the profit is not the problem. Rehosting it (also without credit) is.
In addition, had the OP used disk partitions, a valid partition table (either MBR or GPT) would have been written to disk.

Every Linux installer that I've used sets up disk partitions for software RAID volumes. I don't think an installer for a major distro will let you use a bare device, even if you wanted to, and all of the instructions/tutorials I've seen on setting up mdadm include the configuration of partitions.

Seems like the OP went out of their way to configure software RAID in a non-standard manner, without understanding the consequences.

I hate to kick the OP while they're down, but it doesn't look like this is an issue that someone would encounter with a default/recommended configuration.
Heres one for you. Years ago, when realtime traffic data was released on maps, I had an argument with a friend. I claimed that the only way they could get that accuracy was by recording the cell data of every single android user and validate the (ever changing) coverage maps through those users with GPS enabled (say while using maps for directions). What had me convinced was that around that time in my city nobody used google maps, most were on low-end androids and few phones had GPS enabled as it would eat your battery. Yet the traffic stats were realtime and accurate. My friend refused to believe they would be brazen enough to do that.

I remain convinced I was right. But strangely enough - it didn't annoy me much. Because out of all the things they could have used that data, they went ahead and built an incredibly useful product by solving a difficult technical data-related problem and then made it public and free. Compare that with what your bank and telco are doing.

That said, Im not commenting on the ethics. Even with the opt in, people are not really aware their locations are being tracked. We don't know what the data is used for or who it's shared with (looking at you - NSA). It's a breech of trust. Though it will be a shame to see realtime traffic stats go down :P

> an empire that makes a million dollar a year by illegally hosting 24.3 million files copied from other sites

That's quite an interesting stat: that 24.3 carrots can be thrown on the web, made hard to download, and a dollar can be earned.
Huh? IANAL, but that doesn't correspond to my understanding of copyright laws.
Except that if you read the article the reporters confirmed that a guy by that name lived at that apartment complex by asking the neighbors. There’s no guarantee that the person who registered is actually the person who lives there but someone answers to that name at the address provided apparently.
What happened to tidelift?
https://tidelift.com/
Based on the state of the web in 2018, with it's pop-ups in the middle of the page, cookie warning, laggy scrolling, and image pop-in that moves what you're reading, I find it very difficult to believe that that many people actually care much about the presentation of text.
I know this works - it's the same reason restaurants fill window tables first - but I've never really understood why this motivates people: a huge queue is, without fail, a massive turn-off for me.

I suppose popularity is interpreted as a signal of quality/excitement but, to me at any rate, it's usually a signal of boredom and frustration.

It works better with restaurants: I mean I want to see there's somebody in there eating the food but if it looks too busy, I'm out.

I completely agree with you on that. So it remains more questionable than good, though I do not think the '12 year old swatters' will click beyond the main article (from last year's rtl.nl website which did not contain info if i remember correctly) and go to the more detailed page described in OP.
Researchers’ Individual Publication Rate Has Not Increased in a Century
This article reminds me of how undergrad economics is taught.

2. Lay out a whole bunch of reasons why this makes no sense

3. Ignore #2 and proceed to build a whole theory on #1
I think it's generally pretty low effort to maintain a repository layer with raw SQL exposing your domain or entity objects (depending on the complexity of the whole project), so the most aggressive I get with an ORM is something like Dapper. RepoDb also looks promising.

I have the adapter and both my headphones work with the adapter and controls fine. One is a Sony MDR-1R (v1) and the other is a Beoplay H6.
Oh, the irony.

And, sorry, "whataboutism" is a cheap cop-out. Historical incidents should be seen in context, not just as isolated finger pointing (and always from one side to the other).
Actually the content of the article makes this comment slightly unwarranted (unless I'm misreading the tone). The author has described, quite well, on how typography isn't about just subjective artistic choice but largely its functional implications.
Oh and there is a reason why a lot of engineering folks have critical opinions about this. Some of us have worked with designers in the past that simply do not take the effort to explain why a certain design choice was made (even though they put a painful amount of thought into the process). At my office, it took our engineering and design team a lot of time to finally figure out what was missing. Now our discussions have designers going into details of choices which makes it so clear that most of them aren't subjective at all (some are, and that is fine).
If a file is available through non-auth http it’s unclear what the copyright is. I think it depends on the particular item whether copyright was violated.

Making a file public without restriction doesn’t mean another can’t make profit (my ISP makes a profit by transmitting the file to me; gmail makes profit when I email the file to me; google makes a profit when they cache the file; archive makes a profit when they archive a file; etc etc).

I think if this were non-public docs then the case is clearer. But by releasing a document publicly with unlimited access via URL the author explicitly allows unlimited distribution (and due to the nature of tcp/ip redistribution). If an author wants to restrict distribution then they should restrict distribution using available protocols.

We spent a lot of time ensuring our build came in as small as possible, in order to reduce server costs and page load times, for millions of potential users.

Suddenly, the creative side of the business wanted to add our own font to the application. The bespoke font files (woff2&1, thanks lord) we were given were almost 5x the size of the initial build package.

All the worth of optimisation, right?
>It's obviously not true that the US can do as it pleases, it can't afford to go to war whenever it wants, its army is really expensive.

Yeah, and there's also limits due to physical laws and other such things. I thought "does as it pleases" covered things like war costs.

>Also, virtually of the foreign interventions done by the US in the last decades have been failures.

Depends on their purpose. To destabilize a region, or prevent them from dealing with euro currency and such, they worked well.

>Just ask yourself, why are there all these crooked foreign leaders that make a living of antagonizing the US? If the US is really so powerful because of its nukes, why don't they just surrender?

Because they have this thing called dignity.

Again, I wouldn’t be so sure. It’s a useful practice to use real people’s info for precisely situations like this.

Step 1) register foo.com
Step 2) make email address John.doe@foo.com
Step 3) register bar.com using John.doe@foo.com as contact info. Include contact info for John Doe with a real address and random phone number

This meets Whois requirements and makes it a bit harder for any real lookups. It’s easier than providing wholly fake info because journalists will Lee dogging. When journalists contact John Doe who denies owning bar.com then they will work it like an uncooperative subject.

So, is there any tool to dump these annotations for later use?

Just to give you an example: UK company addresses are open to the public, and easily accessible through the government website. Many UK internet personalities have set up a company, and for many of them it's their house address (cause either they don't know about the register or they don't care enough).

Would it be ok for me to make a blog post with their home address on it, just because it's publicly available? I don't think so, even if they did something scammy.

This is one of the all time greatest examples of non-fiction writing. It’s strange and a little disappointing to see people debating the morality and merits of warfare in the shadow of this epic achievement of long-form story telling. The point of this story is to make the experience human, but many comments here revert to the kind of academic finger-wagging that is a prerequisite for bringing out the worst in civilizations.
You can argue that not fixing biological defects when you have the means to is ethically indefensible.

This is a very real problem, even in academic circles. My wife has a PhD in medieval studies, but because she's pursuing a career outside of academia she has no affiliation with an educational establishment. That means that if she wants to do research she has to get friends still within the system to borrow books on her behalf from university libraries. She's also unlikely to get anything she writes published, and presenting papers at conferences is prohibitively expensive because they're all priced on the basis that everyone is just going to expense their tickets, travel, and accommodation.

Academia is very much a club of people who think they're superior to the rest of us because they have a university ID badge, and getting anywhere in that world is essentially a case of waiting for professors to die off. There's a great many good reasons she decided to get out of that world professionally, but it seems a shame to stop talented and passionate people from contributing.

Newton's theory of Gravitation stood for almost 230 years before being superseded by GR. During this time it was proven right over and over. And in fact in many ways what happens with great theories is not that they are proven wrong, but rather that they are extreme conditions where there predictions deviate slightly from reality. In the case of gravity I believe one of the very few deviations from Newton's gravity known was the precession of the perihelion of Mercury - there was not that much known that was wrong about it.

I think it is fair to at least hope to find deviations from GR which would have to be at much more extreme conditions given the greater precision of today's measurements.
Since the article contained some private Dutch governmental documents, I think you are correct to state the last case (some non-public). Though if the are public, reselling them (or making profit as a side business) without referring to the original document is problematic at best, illegal at worst. There are plenty of sites who reference or even quote published documents from the overheid.nl (goverment) websites and make profit from them, but not by copying them without reference. Though they all serve some legitimate purpose and you can actually download them instead of having to click though quizzes and other annoying things in the hope you will click one advertisement.

>The only people who seem to care about "Android fragmentation" are lonely Apple fanbois.

First, "fanbois" is something 15-year olds emotionally invested into "my side is better" would use. Just state what you want to state, and don't assume some magical group of mindless drones or paid shills behind statements that point to deficiencies in a platform. In general, drop "lol", "lonely fanbois" etc from your vocabulary if you want your statements to be taken seriously.

>It makes no difference to Android users as the version of Android you run and the apps you can install/websites you browse are entirely unconnected.

Tons of Android developers have been lamenting fragmentation. It's about having a coherent platform to be able to know what features to count on, and not to have to support several older versions of the OS because most of the buyers are still using it.

Also tons of Android uses have lamented mobile vendors not providing updates for their older models.

>> Carriers require knowledge of where you are to give you service - it is a physical limitation of cell technology.

Quick nitpick. Carriers don't need to know where you are. They just need to know which cells handsets are moving in and out of. To find out where you actually are takes a bit of work. Unfortunately they are more willing to put in the work since personal data has become more valuable.
