It was a copyright claim under the DMCA. You're right in thinking that it's bonkers, regardless of whether under copyright or trademark.
Anyone with significant social media influence can take down subreddits they don't like. All they have to do is make enough noise on social media until advertisers notice. When they refuse to associate with Reddit because of the controversial community, it will be summarily neutralized by either quarantine or deletion.

If a website has a business model at all, it's safe to assume it has no integrity and will censor anything if that business model is threatened.
The average CERN user already does not use Windows or any MS products. All research infra is Linux (Cern Linux, a CentOS derivative), and apart from a stray Macbook, I've never seen anyone use anything but Linux.

Windows was for a few desktops, administrative staff and optionally email (some Exchange or OWA stuff or sth).
I’ll play devils advocate for you:

Imagine I write something entertaining on my personal blog.

Is it okay for somebody or some company to copy that content to their own website without my permission?

If it is, is isn’t, why or why not?

People are working weeks, months, years, often under extreme conditions to create a work of art, like, say an episode of Game of Thrones. Not just one person, but hundreds of them. Getting such large teams to work on a project would not be possible if people could just donate for that work or something, because you'd get much much less money from it. Sure there are issues with copyright, for one terms are decades too long, but your extreme view of it is as wrong as the extreme view of Sonny Bono.

Sounds like we should make a bot that makes a counter notice for every notice. Is there a page on Google that discloses all the recently issued DMCA notices?
Most of the corrections she/he received are not justified at all.

I know it sounds absurd, but maybe the corrections weren't made by native speakers.
As someone who very much uses and likes FOSS, I'm not sure I'd actually recommend people use Linux in end-user, day to day work. I can definitely see BSD or Linux in core infrastructure, but end users don't really care too much about which OS to use, they care about driver compatibility, UX usability, and app availability, among other things like security and what-not. Windows has apps, it has vendor-built drivers, it has auto-update and nice GUIs and all that. Linux doesn't.

I use Ubuntu 19.10 eoan for my daily driver replacing Windows 10 Professional for Workstations, and I can tell you that the drivers are _definitely_ worse, updates are manual, apps are updated last of the major OSes, and if I wasn't a SWE but I needed to use a computer for my job it wouldn't be as pleasant as Windows.
I did a Top Grading interview once.

I basically wound up throwing the interview 45 minutes in; I realized I didn't want to work at a place that was going to be so strict/formal for any position in their company.

Yes, I'd do 100 whiteboard interviews before I do another one of those.

The thing is I don't think Uber was acting any differently than any other corporation. This is just how corporations operate. They are sociopathic entities.
Apollo is really well done, but there’s certain bugs that have been in it since day 1 that are still not fixed (despite reporting them) that kill it for me — namely that “load more” does not fetch the next set of comments in chronological order when sorting by new.

I resorted to trying the official Reddit app and was pleasantly surprised. I assumed it would be way worse, but it’s actually excellent. If you haven’t tried it in a while, I’d recommend it.
Getting started with Kubernetes took me one evening spent reading the docs. I see this "Kubernetes is complicated", "Kubernetes is overkill", "You should not use Kubernetes" posts on HN every now and then and I wonder: is it really that complicated? How come I never noticed that complexity while learning it?

I think that is unfair. Each of those buzz words were concepts in the article or actual products that GCP offers.

However, this is embarrassing to GCP that this isn’t easier. These were very basic requirements from this customer, yet so much rigmarole was needed to get it set up.

It seems we agree that mass migration hurts American families. The poorest get hit the hardest. So wrong.

Our refugee program is immoral. We pick and choose refugees like dogs from a shelter. Instead we should help them in place. The money would be spent on the necessities of a refugee camp, not plane tickets to America and English lessons for a lucky few. And they’d be poised to return home and rebuild their countries, which is what they want.
How does writing improve my mental health?
I really see that big list as just ideas to think about. I don't think just because it's there, the person is going to wreak havoc. (But it is a good point to say "hey, there's these questions here. Don't go nuts thinking you SHOULD ask all these questions")

In my case, everything could be good with the manager but I just bring up interesting topics for me to learn more from the manager.
Oh, you liked Factorio? Let me tell you about this game called Oxygen Not Included, it's similar, but with more thermodynamics, and cute little dupes running around...

I only have 560 hours played so far.
Come on, just play for 10 minutes!

My last 3 Factorio games have started well, then I try "the big rebuild", then it starts to feel like work and I go program instead.
I think the idea is to train Face ID with the mask on.
No - there is nothing inherently abusive about apps vs websites.

This is just bias on your part.
Instagram used a DMCA notice to take down some code on GitHub because they didn't like how it used their API.
How is that even legal?
That's what I mean.. if it's in public domain doesn't that mean it is free for anyone to use? How does someone legally then claim ownership?

Or are they just 'claiming' without any truthful ownership? So then if they make a DMCA request on it or something, companies will comply by default to be on the safe side?
> So many people, me especially, go through spurts of wanting to learn something new or complete a project, reach a goal, and yet I always seem to fizzle out because in the end, why bother?

For this reason, I'm relatively reluctant to start new things unless I feel that I can actually commit to getting to the level of competency that I want.
I’ve often wondered if major search engines score searches on “uniqueness” and flag high-scoring queries to review their possible value.

For example, if I have a shower thought for a killer product or service, I’ll search to see if it already exists. It would seem trivial for Google to tag my query for further review, and possibly R&D. What evidence would I have of the original though? Personal browser logs?

Government workers in South Korea are actually some of the brightest in the country. The jobs are extremely competitive and you have to score very highly on a set of standardize tests to qualify.
"So that area represents about (19.63 / 57.51 ) 34% of the total world landmass."

1/2 of said circle is ocean, not land. And some of said land is 'uninhabitable' i.e Gobi Desert.

And Canada is 3.8 miles squared, implying that 3.5 of those are uninhabitable is rather off. By that calculation, you'd be excluding most of Quebec and Ontario, which are 'inhabitable' just sparsely populated, in which case much of Tibet and China would be comparably 'uninhabitable' as well.
I come in peace, but look, say I'm exploring things in martial arts. Then I'm only listening to the kinesthetic domain, sinking into it if you will by dismissing ratio in order to learn through another mode.

I can learn like that, without any thinking at all!

We can only learn anchored in feedback, and if you can give yourself the feedback while writing, talking out loud alone, or better yet, with a listener, then you get feedback that keeps you thinking.

Verbalization and conversation maybe media, but writing, coding, sketching definitely are places where I notice my thinking.. What other 'media' did you have in mind?
The legacy code change algorithm:

1. Identify change points.

2. Find test points.

3. Break dependencies.

4. Write tests.

5. Make changes and refactor.

Only in high end fields: tech, finance, engineering. Even then, it really just depends. I've worked at a lot of companies (I have terrible job loyalty) and I see what's good and healthy and what's not. I've only lost two jobs and both of them were places where people were expected to work 70+ hours a week. I could get let go and be fine, because I'm an in-demand engineer with lots of experience. But I'm in a very unique position; one most people are not in.
This justice department isn't going to take any action against businesses of any sort, so Getty is pretty much in the clear on this. They might get in trouble in the future, but the end result is unlikely to be more than just a slap on the wrist (a few tens or hundreds of millions in fines) so there isn't much downside for them.

It's not illegal if a corporation does it after all.
>> One of the defining characteristics of humans is our ability to create shared fantasies

Degrading all possible ideologies down to the same level of 'shared fantasy' is itself part of the corporate bureaucratic process of turning empathy into apathy.

Bureaucracies aim to manufacture bland minds which are unable to tell apart "what is good for society" from "what is good for their masters".

Value production is factored out and we are all left serving a bunch of manipulative, status-obsessed idiots who happen to control the means of production.
This looks amazing I can think of some really cool applications like a nice PDF reader that formats technical docs correctly

What’s the status on Color e-ink nowadays? Are we far away from that?

I feel like that’s the holy grail, along with true multitouch on one (last I checked all e ink displays were resistive touch displays)
I feel like the number one motivating reason is having a significant other who has a different native language. This also makes it a lot easier to make progress because you basically have your own tutor who is also motivated to patiently listen to your struggles.
Incredible work really oozes polish and intuitive design.

Have you been chipping away at this since 2014 or did something change in your motivation recently where you decided to complete it?

What would your reaction be to someone suggesting a rewrite in Electron so you could achieve crossplatform support?
You’re taking a rather crudely reductionist view on the article, and one the article directly admonishes the reader not to do:

> It would be an offense to say, well, it’s just politics... to understand depression through political frames does not mean that the problem of depression can be immediately solved by political means. There is a horror to depression that cannot and must not be translated too quickly into the sphere of politics, regardless of our critical and revolutionary aspirations.

The article is suggesting we should eschew the hyper-individualization of our understanding, diagnosis, and response to depression—and do so by contextualizing it within the political economy in which it lives. It’s a call specifically to not reduce it to chemicals, subjects, and personal responsibilities—and, instead, recognize the impacts of capital, structures, and collective responsibilities which capitalism (and the defensive and capital-protecting ideology and politics it gives rise to) wishes us to ignore. This is the capitalist “realism” the author states runs in tandem with depressive realism—that there are no alternatives, that there really is nothing to be done about the current state of affairs.

The article is calling attention to the possibility—no, the need—to reject this false narrative. There are alternatives, but, the article suggests we instead find comfort in increasingly diagnosing and pathologizing what could be normal effects of capitalism on those who live under it. Instead of recognizing the ways in which our social, political, and economic structures impact subjects, we instead say it’s the subjects who have a chemical imbalance or defect:

> In this way, the diagnosis provides momentary meaning to meaningless misery. The suffering gets a name and a cause: a lack of serotonin. But this cause has causes which in the diagnostic system — and in the capitalist world as a whole — remain undiagnosed and untold.

Whether or not you agree with such a possibility, the very question is, I think, provocative and worth considering and discussing.
> That was more South Korea’s own bad crypto policy’s fault

South Korean here, I wouldn’t say it was the government’s fault to enforce better security/crypto tech on the web when banking, right? To be strict, everything really started because of the US’s IMO useless export restrictions. Then it became a legacy that couldn’t be third of for ~20 yrs. I don’t think the policy was great, but it was reasonable at the time.
> He didn't sell a product, he sold a userbase and a brand.

I mentioned it in the blog post, but System1 were after myself moreso than Waterfox.
I raised my kids without cable or broadcast tv, and they had limited access to computer games. However I did have a tv, later a digital projector and we would watch vhs tapes and dvds. They had a tandy 102 they could play with as much as they wanted. I think the problem is not so much screens, but a screen activity without a defined beginning and end, and in isolation. I had a lot of fun watching star trek, etc with my kids. Later as teenagers there was streaming etc, and at that point well they are just like me. The only kind of hard thing is when they felt kind of left out, like not knowing the shows other kids were talking about, or the games etc. I know it's not a easy choice for everyone to make, but at least for me I think it was a pretty good one. I more or less grew up watching tv every night, and what can I say, I know the lyrics to many tv sitcoms. It didn't wreck my life or anything, but it certainly didn't help it.
I was back on the /r/apolloapp sub before the app was released, and was in an early public beta.

I had so many major gripes with all the other reddit apps for iOS, and I tried all the major ones.

I remember using it and dealing with all the bugs, and seeing all the deadline delays etc, never expecting to see it come to light.

Left for a while, and then it was actually released.

And I LOVE it.

Thank you so much iamthatis :)
If you are very knowledgeable and understand most of the contents of the topic you're reading, then I recommend continuing to read.

For me, that's mostly not the case and I always start with trying to find concrete examples rather than abstract explanations. If it's coding-related, even more so. Most documented pieces out there are poorly written so code examples can help me explain the intention of what's written.
>Um, no. You can't take a public domain image and claim you own it and are thus due licensing fees

Yes, you can.

You would be wrong. And you would lose in court when attempting to extract those license fees. But the act of making such a claim is not itself something that can be sued over, because no one has rights to the photo once it has been released to the public domain, and thus no one has standing to sue.
From my own small slice of experience, it seems likely related to a handful of issues:

End Users: Who are addicted to using Outlook being their job.

End Users: Who still need to inter-operate with others using MS products.

MS Access possibly being the 'best' CRUD interface. (I think it even comes with an expense database template? I think it might also connect to ODBC setups, which are their own nightmare but at least multi-user.)

Various literal corner cases that break workflows. Such as the RTF support LibreOffice lacking the ability to understand feature Y which other file formats can handle (E.G. repeat header row on new pages), or those same import/exports not looking exactly the same in other 'office' software.

==

As a suggestion, even though I'm not familiar with the LibreOffice XML formats offhand, it would be nice if we took a modern, big computer, look at digital typesetting, text area layouts and flow rules. With documents containing multiple types of data and multiple presentation modes (for one document), with a required 'generic' mode that matches traditional web pages, layouts specific to paper sizes / screen sizes, and layout support for anchoring / positioning within those layouts. There also wouldn't be a strong differentiation between 4th dimensional content (moving screens/pages), tables, charts/drawings, or any other type of elements. That might be 'better enough' that MS has to adopt it too.

> the VC's interest for you to be more ambitious and fail instead of staying cautious and succeeding

The VC's interest is for a very high-worth company.

The customers interest is you providing them an good product/service at low cost.

The employees interest is you providing a paycheck.

All of these are willing to compromise your profitability or risk goals.

Fortunately, even diverging goals can be managed to be cooperative. And this happens over and over again in business.
Have you tried multiplayer? I think it would make optimization more important, as I agree in single player it's a bit too easy to cheat the system with sloppy production lines by just adding hella barricades and getting the best guns.
Schematics! Like in most industrial automation games the player is always the limiting factor.
A lot of your specific claims are dubious at best but more importantly this isn't someone installing Linux on their own random laptop. Doing Linux deployments across a set of machines whose hardware and installed applications you control is a completely different situation.
I can’t help but wonder if perhaps the helpfulness of a lot of these principles is different for people who can or cannot see/hear in their mind.

The big catch is that to file a proper counter-notification you have to reveal your name, address and phone number to the claimant (whereas the claimant is only required to provide "reasonably sufficient" contact information). This is ostensibly to allow for service of process if they decide to sue you, but it's also been abused to harass and intimidate people in various ways.

Also, there's allegedly a loophole where the claimant can notify the provider's DMCA agent they're suing you, at which point the provider is obligated to keep the claimed material inaccessible, but then not actually sue you. I'm not sure this has actually been done, though.
Life is not superhero movie and you have to deal with assholes on a daily basis. You can get away with what you're proposing if you already have an escape plan (another workplace). If they're your coworkers, following your first gut instict is bad.
The dataset is presumably going only to academic researchers under NDA. It's not likely that any of them are going to leak the dataset.
>Our takeaway here was that Getty use bots to find large collections of unique high-res images on sites that aren’t explicitly copyrighted, and just take them, on the odds that they’ll get away with it.

While that is a distinct possibility, the more likely cause is that someone else is hoovering up high res images and are selling them to Getty.

Getty doesn't make their own photographs. It's basically a stock image assignment store. https://www.gettyimages.com/workwithus People upload their own images, Getty sells them, and then Getty gives the uploader a cut of the selling price. Getty has no way of knowing if the uploader is themselves falsely claiming copyright.

Not that this would excuse their tactics.

We have mandatory 1:1 and yes, questions are similar. I found them useless and not productive at all. Most hypocritical ones are about carrier development. Let's say 1:10 ration of the managers and deportees, not matter how you 'develop' there is simply no place for promotion. Technical track is rather rare outside of FAANG.

Yes. I'd often have at least once per month the weekly 1on1 in the office. Also depends on people, some are ok with broad development, some feel better with action items and todos to follow up on.
> yet I always seem to fizzle out because in the end, why bother?

This has frequently been my problem. I think maybe I'll learn enough to know it's not relevant or helpful outside some curiosity.

Languages are really hard. As an American speaking English I really get no use from knowing another language. Over my life I've learned, Spanish, Hebrew, French and Japanese. Enough to make sentences, and I forgot them all and never used them except for a trip. Everyone in foreign countries speaks English anyway.
This is fine until you lose the paper/notebook.

Computer notes tend to be un-forgettable and also open to machine indexing and searching.

As a Moleskine aficionado, one thing to mention is that I prefer the squared paper, soft cover, and certain colors (depending on the subject). They make 3 or 4 different sizes, all in hard and soft cover, and I believe around 4 colors. Frustratingly one tends to never find all permutations in stock in any particular store: invariable the combination you're looking for is not there. Even via Amazon every option is not in stock at any particular time. However, I recently discovered by chance that there are Moleskine corporate stores. I visited the one in Century City Mall in Beverly Hills: they had absolutely every combination of size, cover, paper, color available, and actually some options I had never seen before such as a "double thick" version of the 8x5.
HR is to protect the company not employees.
I’m wondering if you had a large enough corpus you could use the same techniques you use for NLP translation.
> At the time of writing, both Apple and Microsoft are actively working on a fix to prevent this attack in collaboration with the Chrome security team.

Why is Apple a contributor to Chromium? I've thought they still use Webkit? Or maybe the bug exists in Webkit too?
I think that it is best to wait and see.
> Did he, though? Reading his post here, it sounds like he never cared much about user privacy and thinks users were mistaken to assume that is the goal of this browser.

I think that’s a bit harsh. I’ve always been privacy conscious and will remain so, especially with Waterfox.

The rest seems a bit hyperbolic.
Let's hope the people behind the dance show maybe get word of how this copyrights defender company used the money they gave them to protect their brand, realized how bad this publicity is and fire the Rights Hero team.
I hope they make an example of Getty.
