'Request immediate removal of your video: They may issue a copyright takedown request against your video if they believe their claim is still valid. This means you’ll get a copyright strike on your account. If you still believe that you have the rights to the content, you can submit a counter notification at this point.'

You still get a copyright strike and I can't tell if Youtube removes that strike when you send a counter notification?

Three strikes and you're out?

It is not a good idea to change the provided software versions that other parts of the base system can rely on. I would go further than that, modern OS design should make every part of the operating system immutable by default. We could get rid off entire class of security problems if it was like that.
Very true. When only one nation had atomic weapons, 100% of the nations with nuclear capabilities utilized them.

I think this is a testament of Homebrew its success. Build a package manager for a OS that doesn't natively has one (macOS) and eventually expand to OS's that do have one (linux), because users request it / like Homebrew.
Text heavy slide creation tools (such as LaTeX and Markdown based ones) are aimed to make slide creation easier, not actually watching the resulting presentation. It's not to say that you cannot make nice slides with those tools, but using systems that make it much easier to write text than to visualize really promotes the wrong thing for presentations.

People don't tend to notice this as much though, and they are more concerned with familiarity or speed-of-production of the slides rather than make the slides effective for the audience. But hey, that same issue can be raised for most PowerPoint presentations, too. People just don't know how to make good slides and just take whatever is easiest for them.
> this is provably false

If it's provably false, then take your time to actually prove it before calling someone a liar.

> my initial an subsequent posts remains just as valid.

They remained as biased as the were. You waved away project's history and keep imposing "high" standards pulled from other projects, without respecting their retrospective history and goals.

> At best, Red sees one minor version increment per year. At best. It's more of a one patch version increment per year.

Absolute nonsense. Read the changelogs, roadmap and Github releases before making such claims.

Again, in retrospective, this is an expected course, and no one will adhere to your idealistic, unencumbered by reality version of how things should be done. Want an overnight improvement - start contributing.

This does allow you to embed images and diagrams. I think they rather mean the slide description language is text-only.

But even embedded images implies uninspiring slides to me.

For example they have a system that allows you to add source code to a slide, but then don't you want to be annotating that code? Adding arrows, lines, highlighting bits, breaking it apart, etc?
Actually it does. An iPhone 5s user would not be getting a different user experience than an iPhone 8 user. The Note 3 user would have to buy a new phone to get a better experience.

For non-solid state drive like HDD, sequencing writes could theoretically maximize the writing performance, while Franz Kafka famous for writing. That's how Apache Kafka gets its name.
Apache Cassandra writing optimization is similar, but not having a writer name.

"Kreps chose to name the software after the author Franz Kafka because it is "a system optimized for writing", and he liked Kafka's work."

I've been programming for 20 years, professionally for ~11. I was bored out of my mind 3 years ago until I found a job at GitLab. Turns out the right people can make you love your job. The wrong ones will make you lose your mind.

But this can happen with anything. I've been playing piano for 27 years, went to college to become a concert pianist. I was quite good. Had a bad professor, realized how very far I was from my dream. How far everyone was. I loved the crap out of piano. And I graduated with my degree. But I don't have that nagging desire to be a concert pianist. I think piano is great. Discovered being successful at coding was 100x easier than being successful at piano. And a much more promising future. And I am really good at it. And you don't have to spend hours alone by yourself. You get to talk to and help other people. And your building things that directly help others.

The closest thing we have to a meta-service is Meta-Elsevier, more popularly known as Sci-Hub, which works so well simply because it doesn't care about legality. It's hosted outside the US on a slowly changing list of TLDs, and so it doesn't have to worry about any form of copyright law, not just the DMCA.

I think if you wanted to build more services like this, you'd have to go this approach: instead of building an above-board app that uses the Uber API and has developer info on file with Apple and Google, anonymously develop a tool for jailbroken phones that injects itself into the Uber app and monitors requests. Instead of building a website that scrapes Amazon centrally, build a browser extension with permissions on amazon.com. And so forth.

The arms-length approach of meta apps helps here, because then individual ride-sharing coops and bookstores get plausible deniability. They're not telling you to use the app, it's a shadowy foreign group who decided to link to them.

I've had the same problem. Then I got married, and my oldest son is now 9, and we played Terraforming Mars this weekend and he loves it.

It takes a bit of time and investment, but there is a way out.
I don't disagree that learning new languages is relatively easy, I know a bunch myself already, it's just that to use a language very effectively you have to be able to think in its terms and that requires some time investment. Fluency takes time.

You've seen code written in language X before and been able to instantly tell it was ported from language Y, right? It's the programmer equivalent of a literal translation from Chinese, where the words are English but none of the metaphors, euphemisms, or subtle connotations are accounted for.

And it isn't even like I have something against Pascal, it seems better designed than C and is just as mature, but I don't really want to invest the time needed to gain fluency at this point in my life. And when I think about that, I wonder why I should need to for this kind of functionality.

Your explanation makes sense for bottles, not for Homebrew itself. Homebrew is still at its core "build from source".

This is exactly what the bottle bot does, building the same formulas you have on your machine. Why should this no longer work?
I love this. It indirectly calls out that uber has relatively easy to clone tech. A co-op network is a great idea and a white label or open source uber application is probably a great idea.
I thought this was obvious but apparently my phrasing was confusing: I meant that on a personal level. I personally would have to learn Pascal as I only know a tiny smidgen of it right now.

Thoughtful article. Wonder why you couldn’t have a meta ride app that would tell you which ride share app(s) to install based on your current location or on a search (say if you’re about to visit Austin for SXSW). A simple API for people to submit apps (and perhaps reviews) and no need to hack the incumbents’ apps (although there would be some karmic justice in that, I don’t think it’s right, and would probably lead to incumbents doing worse things to the apps trying to displace them).
> It's not your data, it's my data about you, I own it, it's in my databases

And there you have the main difference between European and US laws and mindset. Because it is my data, you are only allowed to store it in your database as long as I say you can, and you can only use it for what I have agree on. Since it is my data you cannot give or sell it to anyone else
I was appalled that the the existing taxi system (essentially a protected monopoly) wouldn't immediately create an Uber/Lyft app when ride-sharing first appeared. Then I realized that building such a thing would only benefit drivers and customers, and those are the two constituents that the existing taxi system doesn't care about.
> Bloomberg spoke to a U.S. owner of a Samsung Galaxy S8 who, after reading forum discussions about Samsung devices, found his own pre-loaded Facebook app could not be removed. It could only be “disabled”, with no explanation available to him as to what exactly that meant.

First thing I do when I upgrade my LG phone (I've had the LG G2, LG G5, and now the LG G7, I don't think it was preinstalled in the G2 but I can't be certain) is to disable Facebook and related uninstallable apps. If I bothered to root my phone I'd remove them as well. It's obnoxious that phone manufacturers include more than just vanilla Android, which is why I will likely get Nokia or Motorola for my next phone, they're usually unlocked and not riddled with crapware, funny how much cheaper they are too...

> What does a country like Malta, Cyprus or Monaco honestly have to lose by being a tax haven?

Simplisticly speaking, they only gain from being tax havens. Point is that everyone else looses. Taxing is a zero-sum situation where if you pay taxes in one place, you don't pay them somewhere else. So this is a nonsensical, because essentially the other countries' taxes are rendered optional. Why pay the whole thing, when you can do some corporate gymnastics and pay less to a tax haven?

It comes down to what in the socialist context is referred to as solidarity. In this case, if you want to tax something, everyone has to agree to that. If there are notable exceptions, it doesn't work. Malta is an example of a notable exception.

The economics of cryptocurrency pump and dump schemes
Some thoughts about MMT:

0) If you, as a layman (and why not, if you're an expert as well), are going to have an informed opinion on economic issues, you owe it to yourself as well as whoever you're going to discuss it with, to educate yourself broadly and study both sides of an issue. Seems that too many people who discuss on the internet happened for some random reason to read a book, then (maybe) continue to read books in the same vein, and are subsequently unable to look out of the ideological pigeonhole they have jumped into. Don't become that old bore that rants endlessly about "libtards/global financial capitalism/whatever" at xmas dinner, while the rest of your family sits there in an embarrassed silence wishing you to drop dead or at least STFU so that the kids can have their presents! For some background that explains the thought behind MMT, I can recommend Mitchell & Fazi, Reclaiming the State.

1) I don't understand the obsession with the gold standard that some in the Austrian school seem to have. Or if not gold, some other valuable commodity, energy, basket of commodities etc. Whatever. Bretton Woods is over, deal with it. The only underlying reason I've been able to find is that to people who dream of a nightwatchman-state, the notion of a state with fiscal and monetary power is poison.

2) The core of MMT, namely the description of the macroeconomics of a sovereign government with a monopoly on issuing its own floating fiat currency, is not new per se, but it's explained maybe slightly differently than usual, but it explains it pretty well. And given how confused people seem to be about macroeconomics, fiscal policy, and fiat currencies, being able to explain it clearly is a big deal.

3) As for the policy implications of MMT. MMT teaches us that in terms of monetary and fiscal policy governments are not as constrained as is commonly thought (the usual anti-MMT slurs of "printing your way to Nirvana" and subsequent hyperinflation tells more about the ignorance of whoever is presenting those). Now, most of the MMT proponents are pretty left-leaning, so they tend to want to use that extra fiscal space for various social programs, but one has to keep in mind that's a policy choice and not something inherent in the theory itself. Another policy choice would be to buy weapons and engage in various foreign policy adventures, but again, nothing that MMT per se prescribes.
How is that at all paradoxical?
Hi, checked the Android version Meta Meme app. One suggestion: split it into arm and x86 version for the the ffmpeg lib to reduce the apk size. Each of them is 9MB which is not a small number.
I think this downplays the anticipated response from Uber and the like. DMCA and CFAA are just tools used, not the entirety of the barrier to further co-op based disruption. There's nothing to stop Uber / Lyft from banning their drivers from the service completely if they are caught using the hypothetical Meta-Uber app.

I understand that this example is just an illustration of the spirit of the article and doesn't represent Cory's argument, but I feel that the "felony contempt-of-business-model" is only one pillar in the structure, rather than the whole thing.
Am I the only one experiencing "Facebook is so bad" fatigue? I am not implying that there should be no criticism, I believe quite the opposite, but I think we have heard all of this before, many times over.
One of the suggested ways to use PostgREST is that rather than pointing it at the Postgres schema called "public" (where created tables live by default), you point it at a schema consisting of nothing but SQL Views which communicate with those tables. That way, the underlying table structure can be altered without affecting the clients that consume the auto-generated HTTP interface.

It's more effort to have to maintain some extra SQL code for those views, but with all the labour-saving PostgREST delivers in the first place, you still come out ahead.
He's making a very important point here about the free market. In what sense is it free? What is a reasonable thing to hold someone to, contractually?

There's a real lack of thinking about what the free market should actually mean. It's almost always couched in industrial era terms when it does come up, esp in relation to Uber and the gig economy. "Labour" has a very different meaning now to what it meant back in the 1800s.

> We were able to do multi-architecture with compiled languages just fine.

Indeed, we can even distribute them all in the same package on some systems (like NeXT). Here's an idea: have an OS that guarantees support for a certain bytecode VM and format for binaries that supports multi-arch. Now developers can compile to native and the bytecode, so even any unsupported arch will still be able to run the application with just some additional overhead. Now your OS can be distributed for new and experimental archs and still be usable because people's favorite applications will still work.
Unfortunately that wouldn't work. For the person who's reading the instructions, there's a lot of flipping through pages and skimming an entire page for instructions on the particular item.

Dedekind cuts and Cauchy sequences don't result in different reals. They're different methods of proof, but the resulting sets are isomorphic to one another, so they're structurally the same even if a real from one looks a bit different from a real in the other.

All the Dedekind cuts and Cauchy sequences do is tell us, in essence: "yes, the axiomatized reals you're using are correct and fine because there are constructive proofs of their existence." Moreover, the point of those proofs (and analysis more generally) is to demonstrate mathematical continuity and uncountability. No matter how you slice this problem, if you construct analysis you will lose computability along the way.
In my previous job we played Neuroshima RPG after work sometimes. It was crazy - the whole office participated - like 12 people including our boss and the secretary, and one of the programmers were a DM.

The main challenge to successful (i.e., market-dominating) cooperatively-owned platforms like the ones Cory wants is that usually there are no incentives that motivate individuals to dedicate their lives and souls in the creation, launching, running, and perpetual improvement of such platforms for the benefit of others.

The exceptions, including successful projects like GNU and Linux, tend to be led by rather unique individuals, like Richard Stallman and Linus Torvals, who are almost religiously zealous about their mission, and they maintain their commitment year after year, and decade after decade, without any personal profit motive.

Barring these exceptions, Capitalism seems to be the "least-worst solution" to this problem that human civilization has evolved over millennia, so far.
