17 USC S 512(f) Misrepresentations.

Any person who knowingly materially misrepresents under this section—

(1) that material or activity is infringing, or

(2) that material or activity was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification,

shall be liable for any damages, including costs and attorneys’ fees, incurred by the alleged infringer, by any copyright owner or copyright owner’s authorized licensee, or by a service provider, who is injured by such misrepresentation, as the result of the service provider relying upon such misrepresentation in removing or disabling access to the material or activity claimed to be infringing, or in replacing the removed material or ceasing to disable access to it.

Actual damages isn't much of deterrence, though, considering the typical scenario. Proving actual damages is costly and the ratio of typical damage amounts (nil to moderate) to litigation costs makes it an unattractive option.

The level of abuse at which a court may penalize a party independent of a statutory provision is quite high, so that's not a meaningful deterrent, either, though the situation is so bad there have been some high-profile cases.

For real deterrence you'd need statutory damages, similar to statutory damages for copyright infringement. But Fair Use is such a muddied area of law that litigation costs might still make it unattractive to pursue statutory damages for most people.

It's all kind of moot in the context of Youtube because most copyright disputes happen through Youtube's own internal policies and mechanisms, which are mostly controlled by the terms of Youtube's private contracts.

The best solution is twofold: 1) reform copyright by circumscribing copyrightable subject matter and clarifying fair use, and 2) make self-hosting of content easier, more in line with the late 1990s utopic vision of everybody as their own publisher--as opposed to the current situation where Youtube, Facebook, etc are the new publishers and individuals remain confined to content creation.
> But to answer your question more directly, yes they clearly know what they are suggesting.

Highly unlikely, or else the suggestion would be to just ban http all-together. Http without the ability to load resources from other domains would break the majority of sites.
The VC-funded part is tricky to evaluate. FORE systems (in the 80s/90s) was worth almost $7b in 2019 dollars at the time of its acquisition. But I'm not sure if they took VC funding.

Avere Systems was (2018?) acquired by Microsoft, but the terms weren't disclosed, so it's unclear if they grew a centrally located cranial horn or not.

There've been others in similar ranges.

Well then you can come meet me and about 150 other friends.

I pretty much play VR only at this point. Any time I try a typical flat screen 3D game something is missing. The frustration of having a camera stick. The boringness of having to "press the action button" instead of just reaching out and touch the thing I'm supposed to interact it. And of course most of all the feeling of "presence". The Citadel on the horizon in HL2 (old reference sorry) is a pretty picture but nothing more. The volcano in Farpoint is 3 miles high with a 15 mile high plumb of smoke and I feel that as though I was there. It's like a picture of the grand canyon vs actually being at the grand canyon. They aren't comparable and I can't go back to not feeling like "being there".

This isn't a "gimmick" like 3D movies where they stick things in your face or throw stuff at you just show off the tech. It's qualitatively different.

If there was more content I was interested in I'd spent even more time in VR. Unfortunately there isn't that much AAA VR content and worse for me I can't take horror in VR, it's way to intense, so I probably won't be able to play the new VR Half Life coming out in March.

VR today is like an Apple Newton in 1993. Everyone laughed. Heck in 2007 PDAs where just for geeks. Then in 2008 Apple's PDA shipped, the iPhone, and now everyone has a PDA in their pocket to the point that's you'd be considered strange not to have one. It might be a while, it might even be another 15 years but VR will happen. It's just too compelling when it's good.
I'm not trying to play the "what about" game, but I find it laughable for a European to get uppity about anyone else interfering in international politics or spying while in the same rant implying they don't partake.
Singapore probably. They already have a hugely cancerous, in the traditional sense, chemical industry within a stones throw away from major population zones. Throwing some nuclear into the mix will be a step up in terms of environmental damage.

I have NoScript installed on FireFox, and when I visit sites, I individually grant temporary permission to anywhere from one to more than twenty javascript sources. I suspect that I am among the 1% of those willing to make that effort.

I haven't noticed NoScript distinguish between http and https sources for javascript, but perhaps I don't visit sites that pull in javascript via http.
I think most go through a bunch of them. I have, and I've used DuoLingo, and it helped some. I might not be giving it enough credit, as it did help me get started, but since exploring other methods I've stopped using it.
> IMO it misses the point. I don't want ads.

It's "missing the point" because it doesn't fit your personal preferences precisely? There are plenty of people who don't care at all about ads, and there's a full spectrum of attitudes in between them and the hard no-ads position. Brave is targeting people within that spectrum.
I'm with him on the light bulbs: CFCs were the pits: they lasted half as long as incandescent bulbs (if that long), cost at least 4x as much and were not physically sturdy. I was a condo president for years, tried the CFCs but gave up.

When LEDs came along I tried those, but they were expensive at the time and consequently frequently stolen. So often in fact that I couldn't keep the place lit.

Now thanks to technological innovation, CFCs and LEDs are down in price and thieves are not so acquisitive. And now I have a choice: incandescent, CFC or LED. Nice!

What size? What is your role?
Probably because it's more complex then that. Time is worth zero unless someone is willing to pay you for it. So by saving something when someone is unwilling to pay you more then it is worth for the cost then you have "made" that money.

The only depression-era thing that I can think of passed on through my family and those I know is inherently selfish mechanism of survival because of scarcity. Things like always pay yourself first, and take what you can get when you can get it.

Oh, and saying "nobody can do anything" is helpful? Fuck what "could be interpreted" in a way or another: if you interpret it that way, if you consider it "overly broad and highly insulting in the best case", better to make the argument explicitly. Good luck.
I'm in NZ, and Vultr has been awesome for me, although no block storage in Sydney...

AWS is available (with Lightsail as well) in Sydney as well (albeit with reduced bandwidth compared to other regions for the pricing).
There is https://commoncrawl.org/, but it would be really cool if there were a more well-lit path towards building the rest of a simple search engine. For example, another commentator wanted “like Google, but without the spelling correction”, well, spin up one of these and just stub out the spelling module :)
Lol. I hope it will guide both of us in our journey!

To be honest. I don’t know what will be the step 3.
They need to get/stay profitable -- right now that's a bigger issue than competitors and price wars.

I wish prices were falling faster, and the markets were flooded with cheap EVs, but we aren't there yet.
Nothing is useless when learning a language. Any consistent exposure is useful.

To get any good at a language, you need more than one magic bullet, anyways.

I don't really understand these posts from people who have allegedly learned a language yet lambast Duolingo for not making them fluent. There is literally no magic bullet for fluency. You need to be running the whole gamut (books, shows, interaction, podcast, whatever) every day to get good. So it's hard for me to take the critique seriously.

"Duolingo won't make you fluent" sounds like the critique of a beginner who is just now, after a month, discovering that there isn't a magic app that can take you from 0 to 100. But Duolingo is a great tool for daily exposure as part of your repertoire.

What they actually do: colocated servers next to the exchange collecting $0.0000001 per trade with nanosecond latency.

Create mystique of doing spooky AI to get more capital which they use to hedge even more trades/second, making more money, which they then attribute to AI which gets them even more capital.
I would say that Duolingo does the distinctly American thing of optimizing for making you “feel good” about your progress, even if that progress has no correlation with actual language ability. It’s more of a self-esteem simulator by way of language-learning than it is a useful tool for foreign language instruction.
In that case the answer is staring us in the face: we need to accelerate climate change in order to warm up the cold regions of the world and reduce our reliance on artificial heating.
Your point is a good one, although there are always portable jobs like author/writer, software development, or field service. You can also work a regular seasonal job & migrate with the weather, e.g. raft guiding & ski patrolling.

Language acquisition after the developmental window is fundamentally different. Native language learning is not a good model for second language learning.
Yes, but mostly in a negative way. All of these industries would havea lot more freedom to innovate if there were significantly shorter copyright periods.

I’m a bit surprised Google hasn’t bought JetBrains. I bet they could get it for something like $2bn, which seems like an entirely reasonable price to pay to help improve the Android ecosystem.

On the flip side, Apple could buy JetBrains and seriously mess with Google, although that acquisition wouldn’t really make as much strategic sense.

I don't understand why Tesla gets so much flack for this. It's smart manufacturing to group together vehicle build packages. It's smart business to target the better profit margins.

Look at how Chevrolet it's handling the new Corvette. They basically reach out to the dealers, who only get so many vettes based on last year's sales, and say "the next production run is trim level X , with Y rims, and painted Z color. You get [1-3] of them. If you have a preorder customer who wants that then collect your down payment." Ultimately, you may not even get the Vette you originally wanted because you're a part of some weird dealer lottery plus Chevy trying to predict desires.

I see phone AR as a pointless gimmick. Like comparing a 1970s video game to PS4 video game. Yes both can be fun but pong is not really comparable to GTA5. Phone AR is so far off from Black Mirror AR. I can imagine every teenage girl spending all their time playing with their friends in AR, having their friends appear in their bedroom instead of just on Facetime. With AR glasses, some future version where they are no more intrusive than normal reading glasses, I can't imagine them not doing it. I can imagine all the youtube AR cooking classes will just project directly on your kitchen counter where you can either stand directly beside the chef or cover the same space, have your friends appear on the sofa next to you for facetime, etc... When it actually gets there it will be compelling in the extreme and non-geeks will flock to it like they did to iPhone. Until then it will stay in the realm of Apple Newton.

I'll speculate that there are sufficient locations failing to use https that they haven't felt a need to use https. I further speculate that China is sufficiently entangled with the international internet that they would prefer not to have their certificate authorities de-listed by the major browser vendors.
Nonsense. One of the most important parts of learning a language is daily exposure to it. Duolingo is a great tool in that toolbox.

I learned all sorts of vocab and conjugations from Duolingo at a time in my casual learning where I certainly couldn't be fucked to open a grammar book. That didn't come until years into being able to read books in Spanish.

To me, it's like telling people that jumping into a programming project does a disservice to you vs studying programming books and source code. Instead you need to realize that the most important thing is to be doing anything. There is no magic roadmap to learning something. Do whatever you can to practice daily even if it's just in the form of Duolingo exercises. You'll outgrow them eventually, but most people don't even reach that point.

Most people dabbling in a language don't even know if it's something they want to do for the 5+ years it takes to really learn it. Duolingo excels here. Giving someone some long term serious roadmap does not. They will probably just lose interest and give up.
You keep sharing this survey, but it's talking about population-wide trends, not specific cases, so it's irrelevant to your parent commenter's point.

Their point was simply that a non-negligible number of men in prison can attract partners, which is obviously true.

That said, I don't think that's helpful information to an individual with an increasingly severe disability, and a belief or lived experience that others won't or don't see them as an attractive partner.
That issue crossed by mind, but I think there's a fighting chance it could work out. I had in mind Oman, Bahrain, Qatar, or Kuwait. Those countries already have a long and comfortable relationship with the West and the UK in particular, stemming from colonial times. (At least a good relationship with the corporate and political elite.) Especially with the UK I think that relationship is strong enough to resist the boogeyman of terrorism and the optics of working with those regimes, which don't have particularly poor reputations in the UK or US, anyhow. The "special relationship" between the US and UK means the UK has more license to exploit those ties, even though I'd assume any outcry would be loudest from the US.

It would need to be made clear that Saudi Arabia would be kept at arms length, to mitigate (at least superficially) the threat of nuclear escalation between SA and Iran. But from a technical perspective I'd assume any proliferation risk would be minimal to nonexistent given the technology. Plus there's always the option of Rolls-Royce keeping the core know-how in-house, perhaps building most or all of the module in the UK, only fueling it in the host country.

With Brexit there will be tremendous pressure for the UK to find and develop such cooperative, bilateral projects. In any event, we all know nuclear is dying (and mostly dead) in the West. So it's either something like the above, or nothing at all.
Insofar as it being one of the primary handcuffs preventing us from creating more compelling content, yes, it is important. Ending it (or at least returning it to a role more similar to a century ago) will be awesome for content creators.

It was hyped for a long time before that. That they released the underwhelming demo is just them failing. But they kept what it actually displayed confidential for a long time.

Assuming every third word in this article is probably incorrect, I would love to hear the actual 911 recording.

Yeah, it’s possible the guy is clinically insane, but it seems more likely to me he called in trying to explain he got a bad electrical burn and was terribly misunderstood by the operator.
CO2 emitted from an airplane at altitude isn't equivalent to CO2 emitted at ground level, in terms of global warming potential, so you have to adjust for that.
I disagree.

Programming is setting the knobs on the machine, working with an existing structure to get a job done.

Configuring an FPGA is laying out the machine. You are designing the hardware gates and building the structure.

You could argue it’s pedantic, sure. But I think that’s 90% of the reason people struggle with FPGA is they look at it like programming and not hardware design. I was explained this difference by people in the FPGA reverse engineering industry.

So, no to the topic, I still see zero reason to use a .NET programming language to shoehorn how you want mostly non-procedural hardware logic to function. Other than to say you did it and write an article about it.
How is it possible that there be two separate silos when I can follow someone in China despite being in the US
They are the notable exception, yes. Note that aside from V8, all have multiple JITs (and V8 is gaining a mid-tier compiler, so they can move away from the interpreter sooner), which adds a fair amount of extra complexity and maintenance cost. All have pretty advanced interpreters, which also helps make warmup smoother.
Yeah, I got to try the Quest as well, and it's what the experience should be like. No cables, no beacons, no markers, no nothing.

But the resolution and framerate is too weak right now. Needs 8K in 60fps, so it's just a matter of time.
Is the Human Web dataset available for download?
You’re preaching the truth here. I’m an English speaker who learned Russian and then taught russian for a decade or so. Duolingo is not going to help almost anyone significantly. What I mean by that is if you were a casual learner (nothing wrong with that) dedicating 5 to 30 minutes to duolingo a day, you will never be able to do anything other than say a few phrases or maybe pick out a few words of spoken russian here or there. Unless you are a language genius you will never be anything close to functional much less fluent without living in a 100% or close russian-speaking environment for a couple years at least. This is not me calling anyone dumb, russian is just really hard for almost all english speakers and requires an extreme amount of time and dedication. I don’t know if it’s true for other languages but I have a suspicion is that it is.

Fake or Not? 12 news for you
Thanks for the reply. A bit disappointed it only counts for extremely illegal content. There's a lot of really negative stuff out there that is blatantly false and manipulative (Ripoff Report, Tumblr callout posts, etc) and it's always a shame that this kind of negative toxicity gets promoted so high in SERPs.

I'd really like it if there were an ethical SERP that at least had some integrity with its results. Reporting factual unflattering statements is one thing (and ideal), but promoting libel feels really dirty, and so far Cliqz seems to be the worst at that of any search engines I've used, and your reporting link seems as though Cliqz is okay with that.
Does it show them to have better content though? Radio sucks these days as your get long as segments every 20 minutes. TV is just poison to your brain with constant ad bombarding. Press is dying and for good reason: it's basically low quality opinion pieces. Most journalists don't link to sources and can't stop themselves from inserting opinions presented as facts. I think Internet exposed even the most well established newspapers. You can get way better information by just looking for sources.

I watch my movies on Netflix, sports on paid streaming services with little to no ads. The only quality ad supported content I am able to find is on YouTube mainly interviews, podcasts and educational videos. Even then I am supposedly able to pay to not watch the ads (YouTube red wasn't available in my country last time I've checked).

Ads poison the content. People are willing to pay 50-100$ to watch a boxing night. I don't think it's impossible to make them pay for quality content.
