He made money from his content. His content included a recording of a copyrighted work. Therefore he made money from that recording. It’s that simple.

He could have:

* scrubbed the audio

* removed the section including the musical work

* overlaid a royalty free musical work to replace the copyrighted one

* asked the market vendor to turn the radio off

* waited until the radio played a work that was not copyrighted

* etc etc

He’s chosen to include copyrighted material in his content by not doing any of that. Some of which would have been relatively simple to do.

In court I would think it would be difficult to prove there was nothing he could have done to remove the offending audio.

And he also falls foul of Fair Use (there’s another comment somewhere that digs into the definitions of educational content in this case) as this is not incidental usage.

If he falls foul of Fair Use, then regular copyright laws come in to play, which takes the simplistic binary viewpoints:

* Is there copyrighted music or not?

* Is money being made from the use of music or not?

Yes to both => remunerate rights holders.
In Italy there is a Centrale Rischi, but is a government/public service (run by the Bank of Italy):

https://www.bancaditalia.it/statistiche/raccolta-dati/centra...

and I believe that in the end (now it is partial/experimental/in the works AFAICU) there will be an European Registry at the BCE (Anacredit):

https://www.ecb.europa.eu/stats/money_credit_banking/anacred...

Though there is no "public" access to the data in the Centrale Rischi, you can have it going in person to the Bank of Italy, the issue is that - if you find an error/mistake - it must be corrected by the bank/agency/whatever that made the erroneous entry, and this can sometimes be a nightmare, not so much with banks, but with smallish financial service agancies (that might have - in the meantime - changed property or going in default, etc.).
I don't follow your comment; The drug is intended for those people at risk of contracting the disease. Why would you take PrEP if you weren't at risk?

(Your also discounting drug users; but unfortunately those addicted and at risk are also the least likely to have the means to acquire the drug.)
Now I feel old, I started with Perl 4 around 1992-1993. There wasn't even a CGI query args parser library yet, you had to roll your own.
One day I have to take the time to write a blog post on how I started my engineering career at IBM working on mainframe at 21, then freaked out 6 years later in one of the biggest bank in the world where most of those older people where incompetent and judgemental. Everything was dinosaurs in constant politics and lies on both side, vendors and clients.

Worst IT practices and work ethics you could imagine. Lost source code, no comments/documentation, no tests, no monitoring, no benchmarks ... most of the work was done by people without a degree in anything and stayed around for decades. It's not well thought engineering.

I enjoyed working on mainframes, I still think it's amazing technology. Some of my colleagues where the nicest people I ever met, where very skilled and taught me a lot.

But I am now a DevOps working with open source, cloud computing & containerization, everything is nicer and a lot more interesting. And I don't have to fight everyone anymore because I am the one who will have to maintain the crap of retired people (most of the time I would hit a brick wall trying to explain what is IT in the 21st century).
Can't get behind the paywall - anyone so kind as to summarize the key points?
They should say that then, I'm not sure how a simple app like this could cost more than a few dollars per month on hosting.

PWAs are offline first and there's one database with the number of opens.

Not sure in what country you are what I read on the internet most Western countries have issues with plastic bags floating int he air , bottles in rivers,side of the roads and forests where tourists hang out.

I agree that collecting all plastic garbage and putting it in a big land fill is a good solution but encouraging people not to abuse the cheap or free plastic bugs systems in malls and shops is also a good solution.

About poor countries I think you need to understand that there is no running water, public garbage collection and other western facilities there, accusing and not offering some real solution is just disingenuous,
Personally I was hoping the cat-picture-meme would be a passing thing. I am allergic to the little critters and am not particularly fond of them. They carry parasites and bacteria which can be permanently harmful for us.

So, although I respect people wanting to have their own pets and take care of them, I (and many others) think it is tasteless to project this affinity to others in a professional setting.
From a experienced linux sysadmin point of view perl5 is as good as it gets.

I've been searching for alternatives for about 10 years now, at first because my novice self was heaving headaches reading other people code and even my own. I hated perl but I hated everything else even more as I came to know them. No autovivification? Some assignments copy the data and some create references and you need to memorize the conventions of which does what? 3x to 10x lower performance? My program crashes because of white space? Fuck that! Back to perl5.

I'm sorry to say nothing can replace perl5 for me even now in 2019. I wish something would come along even if it takes years. We need alternatives and competition, perl5 will get too old at some point and 6 is... I don't even want to go there.
That's really DEFLATE, the sliding window of standard deflate is 32KB. Both compression and decompression have some overhead (compression more so as you might want to have index tables and whatnot to make finding matcher faster) but even with the worst possible intention there's only so much overhead you can add.
You can measure your addiction to different apps :)
That may also depend on how many commits wait in the line. If team is large or monorepo, you need to wait for all pushes to pass in order for your own push to be tested which might take a long time even if single test is fairly fast.
Climate change affects indigenous people differently
I used to remove apps but I'd end up re-installing them after a while. Unlearning a habit (aka forming a new habits to replace the old one) is about having a proper cue (referring to the habit loop from the "The Power of Habit" book). The fake app acts as a cue/signal to remind you about your goal and boost learning the new habit of not visiting the app randomly based on the habit.

By installing the fake app, you'll be surprised how many times you unconsciously you open them, although you are aware that they are fake apps. It feels like our brain is on auto-pilot, once we're hooked/addicted to instinctively open addictive apps.

It is completely insane that fossil fuel companies are still being subsidised. It makes me realise how ridiculous it is that so much emphasis is put on individual action on climate change when governments are still pumping money into the source of the problem. It’s just smoke and mirrors to distract from the real source of the problem - political inaction.

I know there’s a saying that democracy is the worst system of government except for all the others, but I’m really starting to wonder if it’s fit for purpose. It’s really not well designed to deal with large tragedy-of-the-commons style issues like climate change.
The highest value use-cases of graph databases tend to not be customer-facing applications. Think about things which don't have a simple question and answer, but instead require deeper investigation into the connections of things. Things like: customer/employee 360, intelligence (business and government), compliance / reg tech, anti-fraud, anti-money laundering. In terms of customer-facing applications, then I guess recommendation engines is the main one.
The problem with python is some systems have 2, and others have 3. Basically everything has perl 5.

This is not an ethical issue, this is a capitalistic opportunity. The company who starts writing effective, clean and fast websites will gain more traffic = more money.

> Wait, I think I know the answer: if they admit that fiber isn't coming any time soon (if at all) people might go to a competitor for faster service!

It's the opposite: if they say they'll string fiber in 2 years, they get drowned by anrgy requests for status updates if they slip. It's lose-lose for them: commiting to a delivery date gets people angry at them if they slip does to regulatory/admin delays, not commiting to a date gets people fed up and impatient.
Fired by Google, a Republican Engineer Hits Back
I’m sorry, but it’s pretty absurd to boldly claim that credit scores are provably objective with regard to race, etc. I’d recommend reading _The Big Test_ for another history of a supposedly objective measurement of merit (the SAT) which turned out to be highly discriminatory. Removing discrimination from a system is not as simple as removing such info from its inputs.
Pot is very very different from lsd. And also I doubt legalization had a meaningful impact in usage rates.

For that matter, I suspect even if lsd were legal, I don’t think a lot of people would do it.

Back in the 90s when lsd was super cheap and everywhere on the east coast, most people didn’t do it. Even when I was going to raves a lot and hanging around with people who did a lot of drugs and sold drugs, most people did not do lsd very often. It’s an intense experience and a lot of people don’t find the idea appealing and don’t enjoy it when they try it.
Awesome. Please, tell me how can I help at "luis at my-username-here dot com".

In the UK at least the Credit Reference Agencies don't have any information except debts and re-payments.

The best of them (Experian) can see that I have a credit card and I pay it off every month. They can see I don't have any unsecured loans from major banks, and that I'm registered to vote (information available for personal inspection to anybody but supplied in bulk only to CRAs)

None of them has any idea that I own property, or that I have a large amount of savings, or that my salary is many times more than my expenditures. That's invisible. I could prove it if I needed to do so for some reason, but it isn't passively collected (in the UK at least).
> These copyright holding corporations are just blindly optimizing for maximizing their grasp on any content whatsoever.

This is what the reality is:

These copyright holding corporations are just optimizing for maximizing their grasp on their own recordings within any content whatsoever.

They legally own the recordings. What happens with the recordings is ultimately up to them. If they want to be paid for the use of their recordings, it’s their choice and they are free to do so.

> the maker of the video never wanted or asked for

Let’s flip this on its head... Did the rightsholders ask for him to be recording at a specific moment in time when their content was playing?

No. He made that choice. He chose to record that musical work.

He could have done plenty of things to avoid a recording a copyrighted work.
That is beautifully written and a nice recap on those things having studied maths a long long time ago. The Heything Algebra is quite interesting. I learned about that more recently on some lectures about logic and category theory online (I forgot the location now).

> Basically it's bad idea to push broken code to remote

This argument is void if CI is set to allow complete testing on branches along with parallel pipelines. So I want to do something, I branch, code, and push. Server does all the funky stuff without me having to install or understand anything which is huge time saver. With parallel pipelines you do not even block others with this behavior.

Things not on trunk can be broken, that is exactly one of the points we have branches.
>it would never occur to me to buy furniture on credit

Ikea, and nearly any reasonably sized furniture store, has a financing arm. So I assume it's common (and a money maker).

Thing is, often these places offer 6 months interest free and what not, so as long as you pay off your debt in the allotted time, it's smarter than paying cash.
I think that as it currently stands, the GPL3 licence makes the project unusable.

There aren't any externally packaged drivers with a different licence, and you can't include their native code in your commercial projects without having to share the code due to the inclusion of the GPL3 licenced code.
On one hand, this incident was a massive amount of work by probably thousands of people to replace all the revoked certificates. Certificates which are perfectly good for communication and do not pose any significant security risk.

On the other hand, allowing a CA to violate the BR's without pain will just encourage others to do so.

Yeah, I've seen perl programs so broken down into simple procedural steps that non-coders were able to go in, understand what it was doing and even make some of the changes they needed after a little trial and error, but also other programs so concise and/or confusing that I'd rather rewrite it than try to figure out how it works.
I didn't want to explicitly reveal the name, but perhaps I should clarify that it was a software company and it was big relatively to other software companies in mainframe space, not to IBM.

In mainframe hardware, IBM doesn't have much direct competitors. In mainframe software, there are many but most of the are much smaller than IBM, so it is often more symbiotic than competitive relationship.
Owners of aluminum boats make guests empty their pockets of loose change, because a penny in the bilge of an aluminum boat will punch a hole in the hull. I did make a mistake; has to be an old style copper penny for maximum galvanic corrosion.

It's a fairly lousy material for boats, though people use it anyway.
PRs welcome - we could remove the 'UK' part of the project and make it work for more cities/countries.
I stayed with a friend who lived in London and walked to work through a commercial area; buying something like a jar of jam just meant stepping into a store she was walking past anyway. As easy as someone picking up a coffee or a sandwich every day for lunch.

Of course, shopping in convenience stores is expensive - but everything is in London.
Thanks for the inspiration!

I'm a big proponent of using specific times and dates instead of—or in addition to—words like "tomorrow" and "next week." It makes your email easier to understand if you are looking at it any in your email archives or if you communicate with people in different time zones.
It's not perfect, but it does it job, and usually it's simpler/faster to write code than in some other langues (usually with the cost of worse readability).

disagree with the premise of the article.

performance is a technical issue, not a moral or ethical one.

the experience that is derived out of poor performance might be classified as a moral/ethical issue (emphasis on might - a lot of apps use 100% of cpu, but your experience isn't affected, so it doesn't matter - in other cases your experience is affected so it matters), but poor performance by itself i think not.

i might be wrong on this, but i didn't find the article compelling enough to change my mind. any other opinions that might change my mind?

Sounds like a good insurance policy where your CA will risk their root program participation, and the managers their jobs to keep your certificates unrevoked for months:

> we have met a lot of resistances and compliances from the enterprise customers, mainly public entities, to whom we have wrongly responded by giving more time. Four months to replace some certificates is more than enough.

> As managing director I have just decided some organization and role changes with immediate effect: I have removed the SSL infrastructure and Operation managers
That example isn’t about playing with taxes.

I’d agree that some taxes are presented in public discourse as at least partially being about reducing some X—though fines shouldn’t be lumped in with taxes. Fines are worth considering as a different thing with their own reasoning and goals that often make them distinct from taxes—particularly because fines are punitive and come after known legislated/regulated behavior has occurred.
>So does that mean that at any given place, there won't be soil for deeper than the roots go?

In general yes. The exception being where there were roots and someone recently killed all the plants, it takes a while for the soil to die. Also some plants have roots that are just for water, usually taproots, and those can go much deeper than the soil since they don't care about microbes or nutrients, just water.

>What happens to the soul if all the roots die or are removed (assuming it is not washed away by water)? Does it decay into CO2?

Yep. This is how plowing and tilling has destroyed so much top soil. Much of the Americas had several feet of rich, dark topsoil in the 1700s, which we proceeded to plow every year, leaving it bare for months so that the microbes had nothing feeding them, so the exudate feeders start dying, the decomposers decompose their "corpses" and the soil loses a bunch of carbon to the atmosphere as CO2. Over years of conventional farming, you eventually end up losing all the soil and you're left with just dirt, which you now need to add soluble fertilizer to in order to grow a crop.

I wonder if they have considered implementing futexes in userland so they don't have to wait for the kernel implementing this.

WebKit has its own implementation (see the ParkingLot in https://webkit.org/blog/6161/locking-in-webkit/) which inspired an implementation in folly (https://github.com/facebook/folly/blob/master/folly/synchron...).

Surprisingly, implementing futexes in userland can have performance benefits wrt kernel futexes (because of better control over the fast path, possibly avoiding syscalls) and a richer interface (for example the value doesn't need to be 32 bit, just any atomic).

Those loans can be a profit center as they make it really easy to miss a payment, and then instantly jack up the rates to ~20% APR. Think short window to make a payment and no automatic payments available. It’s probably not worth it for effectively a sub 1% discount.
