It's not simply that they don't have any requirement to consider fair use but that there's no incentive for them to do it. If they defend users content that may infringe or may be fair use (the distinction is up to a court, mind you) they open themselves up to secondary liability. If you're a service provider you're probably going to err on the side of claimants and never reject a single one.
This is like pointing out how easy it is to rob a house or someone on the street. All you need to do is break a window (made of glass!) Or approach them alone at night with a gruff voice. Life hack! Why isn't everyone abusing this free money?!
With distributed hosting there is no need for youtube to monopolize video. They operate at a loss specifically in order to control discourse and collect data. If that were made illegal, alternatives would take over immediately.
There should be a strike system against claimants falsely claiming videos, just like the users have a strike system. Three incorrect claims and every claim you make will be reviewed by an independent third party (billed to the claimant, of course).
This isn't really an issue that the vast majority of people face. Sure, it's a hard problem, but only a tiny number of people are affected by it.
To answer that first question: In August 2019, there were 500 hours of video uploaded to Youtube every minute according to <https://www.businessofapps.com/data/youtube-statistics/>. It's probably more now (e.g. it was 300 hours in 2017), but let's go with that number.

That's 720,000 hours per day. If you figure people work 8-hour days, that's 90,000 people. Assuming they never take vacations, don't get weekends off, and really do work 8-hour shifts with no breaks. None of which seems remotely plausible. If we assume 5-day workweeks, 6 hours of actual "productive" time per day, and 2 weeks annual vacation, closer to 175,000 people.

YouTube revenue in the corresponding timeframe is somewhere between $9.5 billion and $14 billion. How much of that is profit and how much is already being spent on infrastructure costs and whatnot is unclear. But 175k people at $50k/year, say, is $8.75 billion/year. Which is getting pretty darn close to those total revenue numbers.

Note that that's $50k expense to the employer (i.e. including benefits, employer-side taxes, office space, etc, etc, not just salaries), which is likely to be an underestimate if these people are in the US.

There's the question of whether every minute of video needs to be watched by humans, of course. But at that point we're back into automation-land to some extent.
Yeah, most people don't have this option.

I'm not a content creator, but I run into it myself, when I wanted to upload a dashcam recording of an accident to share with my insurance company.

It was tagged, because radio was playing a song and of course after my appeal they insisted the copyright was theirs. I gave up after getting the page which threatened me with the possibility of terminating my account.

The thing is that if I could I would actually prefer to remove the music from the video, I was interested in the other sounds.
No, it's now for everyone. It was like that for a while

> more process, more accountability, less autonomy

It is complicated. It is foreign to the users.

The question is how do you incentivize workers to adopt software that makes their live more difficult, but helps hold them more accountable and with less autonomy. They often make decisions that make their life easier but lose money for the company.
Any software that has more than a few dozen developers and has tests that run for more than a few minutes necessarily will have broken master states at least occasionally. Otherwise you slow everybody down because merging to master can only happen (working hours/test run time) times per day.
> Levandowski just filed for bankruptcy saying he has less than $100M in assets . Does anyone know if he will only pay a percentage or is only delaying this by kicking the can down the road to another court ?

If he has less than $100M in assets, then he will only pay a portion of the judgment. If he, his lawyer and his accountant were smart, he would have moved most of his assets into trust funds, iras and other judgment proof assets. Like Epstein did to protect his wealth from civil lawsuits of the rape victims.

I used to program a KA-10 (one of the main primary research architectures of the ARPANET -- ask yourself why Berkley sockets work the way they do). Anyway it had core memory except for the machine registers which were semiconductors (DTL, not TTL). Those 16 machine registers were also the first 16 addresses in memory BTW.

Aaaanyway, the power in Cambridge would sometimes go out, and when it did whatever process was running would die, as all the register state (including PC which was a separate register) would be lost. But otherwise you could just restart since the core was fine. Of course if the monitor (i.e. kernel in today's parlance) was running, well you were sunk.
This isn't right though. Let's say Alice tells Bob what she's going to write in the boxes, and Bob can fill out his however he wishes. Due to the constraints given in the problem (the way the rows and columns add up), Bob can only pick the "correct" value to put in 8 of his 9 squares. That is: the problem constraints were designed so that there's no 3x3 grid that wins in all 9 squares for Alice and Bob and that simultaneously satisfies the row constraints. This is why the best Alice and Bob can do is win 89% of the time -- the best grid layout (even when they preshare information) satisfying the problem constraints only wins in 8 of the 9 squares.

The point of the analogy is that in the quantum version there is a way to work around this unavoidable constraint in the classical problem.

I'm from the Seattle area, and while I'm currently at college on the other side of the country, the rest of my family lives in King County. I won't be going back home until August, but seeing all the news about how bad it is back home is kinda scary. Rationally, I know my family is all healthy, middle aged adults or teenagers and are at a pretty low risk, and are fortunate enough to be able to afford health care if needed, but that doesn't stop me from worrying that I'll be going back home to a smaller family

My company uses gitflow and releases daily from a monorepo with a team of 40 devs. Some of us rebase. Everyone is happy.

I have no idea what non-obvious thing, if any, we're doing to make this work. Then again I don't think gitflow is complicated either.
I believe this is where tech can be used as a tool to alert the lifeguards. I am seriously exploring building a real time video monitoring tool to alert potential drowning risks. I have the tech chops (video processing + image detection) and would be happy to collaborate if someone wants to join.

These vehicles will likely have plenty of surveillance surrounding them - not only for instances of heists, but for evidence to be used in insurance claims and police/fire investigations for collisions and other mishaps. Detracting from self-driving vehicles is puzzling to me, though. I would rather see the tech succeed and would like to see us get there as soon as possible. We should accept that we might have to adapt to them a little, and that our infrastructure may need to change in some ways to better accommodate AI. It's insane to me that we aren't laying sensors, reflectors, conductors, or whatever else would make self-driving vehicles safer and more effective in our roadways already.

US military dominance is an ever present defense for nations around the world who would otherwise be harrassed or attacked by aggressive neighbors. US military involvement in the Middle East doesn't change that.

Of course you can argue we shouldn't be involved in the Middle East, and there are some reasons to think we shouldn't be, but we can agree on that point and still believe the US should have the world's dominant military.

The metric is the number of deaths attributed to dependence on computers compared to the (presumed) number of deaths that could have happened in "safety-critical software controlling health equipment, aircraft, weapons systems and industrial processes, including nuclear power stations", that is, software where it was presumed that formal proofs were essential for correct operations.

No, an extension that has good reason to inject a script into every webpage can, with the same permissions, exfiltrate user data under a new owner. Almost all extensions thus users are vulnerable to this. There is no higher priv the script needs to ask for.
It's not entirely unreasonable on its face; physical fulfillment is a complicated business domain. You might have services dealing with suppliers, customers, delivery vendors, regulatory compliance, payments, sales taxes, so on, so forth. You might have ML services to predict product availability or customer demand. Those subdomains might themselves be decomposed into API services, vendor gateways, background workers, etc. This doesn't factor in infra-related things like data stores, caches, etc.

Even if you only sipped the microservices kool-aid, I can easily see dozens of services.

Granted, it seems reasonable that a handful of monoliths could get the job done. Without having worked at HelloFresh, I'm inclined to think there's more to the story that we don't know. Maybe there's a good reason to have as many services as they do.
But filing claim is protected by law, you ability to have content on YouTube is not. There is a fundamental asymmetry.
I was affected by this, they SIM swapped a line on our account twice, both times on Friday at 5:23pm (followed by swapping the old SIM back at 5:42pm).

Just received the CPNI notice today from T-Mobile, we had a 6 digit PIN set prior to the first SIM swap on January 10th, and changed it before the following SIM swap on January 17th.

T-Mobile told me these swaps occurred at a store for both attacks. I did remove all authorized users from the account prior to the SIM swap on the 17th. T-Mobile has refused to provide Seattle Police Dept with any info about the fraudulent activity, and left me in the dark prior to the letter today.
The problem is how fast they learn. We have an 18 months old and she solves the challenges so fast. I should be happy but we struggle coming up with new challenges.

Toy for her age are way too basic. Those are very focused on safety, but due to that there is a giant lack of gameplay value. Duplo so far and a "car track" kind of toy have been the best, with lot of books.

Problem with books is that she requires us to read them. Lego animals have been useful,she take them out of a big lego house we built and call them by names. She learned quite a few words this way!

She likes boxes, plastic bottles, zip bags and such, but she understands the tricks fast and gets bored. Hard!

Obviously playing with mom and dad it's still the best thing
The sentence you quoted is technically grammatically correct, but I agree that it reads pretty awkwardly
New Quantum leap threatens Bitcoin
1. A store location or locations was compromised

2. January 10th was when we notified T-Mobile of the attack

3. Likely sometime between January 17th (the last successful SIM swap attack we experienced) and January 24th.

4. Who knows? T-Mobile refuses to disclose any info to the police :P

This is one of those posts that brings out comments about things being over architected for the business. My mind definitely went there.

But, at some point, companies that want to keep talented tech people need to let them go build what they want to build. Maybe those things are over-architected for what the company needs right now, but it's tough to say if that's a bigger risk than losing talented tech people.
I would wager that its because ex-Uber folks work there and carried their ways with them.

Thanks for the reply, and sorry if I reminded you of bad memories.

But now I can wholeheartedly say I support Matrix. I’m also glad to hear that there’s the diversity sprouting, since I believe it is the best way to put the specification on test. And I didn’t realized there are proposals openly being worked on[1]. I think I missed it while browsing through the site.

Anyways, thanks for all your hard work. Matrix will surely help a lot of people, including the open source community.

I think for one, you cannot easily have Masters span regions without risk of them falling out of communication. Similarly the workers should be located nearby. If there's a counterexample to this I'd love to see it.

> Maybe there's a good reason to have as many services as they do.

Or maybe we're in a tech bubble and if you want engineers, you have to acquiesce to their demands of working with the latest shiny tools while they create mountains of technical debt, because if you don't, they'll just go to another startup that allows that behavior, or they'll go twiddle their thumbs at a FAANG while banking $300k+ total comp for their 5-years of experience.

I'm not trying to say one could replicate this business with a few scripts, but it sure as hell doesn't need a service mesh that looks like a mutated SARS-CoV3.
While that style might not be to everyone’s taste, that sentence definitely is grammatically correct and does not have any comma splices. Personally I don’t find it that awkward either.
> Gitflow doesn't work in a CI environment on a modern software application that has good testing culture and systems that are resilient to failure.

Sure it does.

It isn't necessary in such a culture if there aren't bureaucratic barriers to continuous deployment which limits you to continuous delivery.

If you have such barriers, you very quickly need Gitflow’s split between permanent “develop” and “master” branches as well as temporary “release” branches.
