> 1) The DMCA takedown process only applies to direct copyright violations, not to circumvention tools.

Not according to this:

Moreover, the Project in question hosts software that is distributed and used to infringe on the MPA Member Studios’ copyrights. See Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studios, Inc. v. Grokster Ltd., 545 U.S. 913, 940 n.13 (2005) (“the distribution of a product can itself give rise to liability where evidence shows that the distributor intended and encouraged the product to be used to infringe”).

Hence, my point that it's an argument for the courts.
Trump parroting 'Fake News' every time the press ask him a question he doesn't want to answer is hardly criticism.
But what this minor stress shows is that we are in a broken state, with no sufficient motivational force to clean it up politically.

What this revealed is the utter lack of a functioning government we have, regardless of the political firebomb that currently runs it.

I was complaining loudly about the CDC not having an actionable ventilator plan given the SARS/MERS precursors that also needed them, but they DID have a contract/plan with an upstart company...

That got acquired by Covidien and then the bid/project was cancelled by some middle manager.

So our readiness is completely broken, and the current capitalism/accounting/budgeting/regulatory structure has no ability to stockpile/prepare.

What a show!
The way I read it, they are required to wait 10 days. I think in part to give the complaining party time to go to court if they think there's a true infringement.

> IANAL, but I think your interpretation goes beyond what they're after.

Perhaps more than the intent, but this is a government that doesn't deserve the benefit of the doubt.

Circumventing any "access control technical protection measures" is currently a crime under Australian law (Section 116, Copyright Act). They may well consider any decompiling tools to fall under that particular law, as well as use of said tools.

In March, they pressured a university in firing someone researching into their own data breach to see how bad it is. [0] There isn't a law against de-identifying, especially when it is in the public interest, but they went ahead and threatened severe legal action anyway. Whilst simultaneously claiming that said data breach doesn't contain any personally identifiable information.

They had to be taken to the High Court to be shown that an algorithm cannot be used as evidence that a debt exists, and that decision makers actually need to do more than just trust the system. [1]

If it embarrasses them in any way, then they are not above twisting laws to suit them. [2]

If it’s really that bad, why not just quit? The worst case is you’ll be forced to bag groceries out of necessity, and perhaps then you’ll have a newfound appreciation for the corporate job. All upside.
There are 2 things you can do.

1) quit this ecosystem completely, go to countryside grow fruits, raise animals in farm.

2) Find a software job where you are a billable resource, aka consulting. You do this for x$/h. If you are good no one will bat an eye. You don't have to deal with investor, upper management. Every month you put y hours for x*y $ no bullshit. If you smell bullshit you walk out.
I caught it in Arusha (back in 2008, when Arusha was much less built up than it is now). Got sick about two weeks later outside of Dar. At the time I was a journalist working on some freelance stories.

I've actually gone back and worked with local duka la dawas (sorry about the spelling, my Kiswahili is really out of practice) in figuring out ways we can help rural populations get easier access to the medication. It's often not that it's not there, it's that the medicine is too expensive.

It's still such a horror show of a disease (among the many many other horror show diseases). My heart broke for every mother I saw with their feverish infants in the same waiting room I was in.
Or maybe it's because the human body is an incredibly complex mechanism and our analysis skills for determining the impact of making changes to that mechanism are yet to reach the levels we need.
I’m pretty sure what you are quoting is something else entirely, not a DMCA Takedown Notice.

There is perhaps no argument that PopcornTime is committing contributory copyright infringement. The point is you can’t use DMCA Takedown Notices on the source code of a contributory tool.

The form that must be completed as part of a takedown notice does not have a box for “this is a tool which contributes to infringing my copyright”. The box you must check is “this is my copyrighted work and I don’t want it posted at this address”.
The 1619 should have been in time magazine or national geographic, not the new york times. Because its not news, its pseudo-anthropology designed to create a legitimate citation source for teachers and academia in general.

Now high school students can write nonsense in an essay and cite the New York Times as a source, and get A+ from their teachers. This is the real purpose of it
If you don't mind me asking, you mention that you want more attention from OS/hardware people. What sort of things are you looking for from OS/hardware people that would make replay systems better?

As for a more technical question on implementation. Assuming the post accurately represents the performance characteristics of rr, what do you think is keeping the overhead so high in the average case described in the post (50%)?

Disclaimer: I work for a company that sells similar technology.
I believe that illiilliiililil is expressing a somewhat complex set of opinions:

1) They genuinely don’t like the 1619 project.

2) They understand that the Pulitzer is supposed to be an award for good journalism.

3) They believe that journalism about some subjects is more likely to win a Pulitzer without being the best by illiilliiililil‘s standards. You could compare it to the concept of an “Oscar bait” movie: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oscar_bait

I’m not sure I agree with this criticism - I think exploring tough subjects can lead to great work that is especially deserving of praise.
DMCA or Google's/YouTube's internal copyright dispute resolution process?
I can't believe how bad I am with this! It reminds me of the book "The Most Human Human." Every year, at the competition for the Loebner Prize (a five minute chatbot Turing test), an award is given not only to the AI which convinces the most humans that it is a human (The Most Human Machine), but also to the human who convinces the most humans that they are a human (The Most Human Human). The author of the book tried to set the record for being the highest scoring human in the test. His book dives into just how smart, curious, and empathetic you have to be to show your human-ness. The Goop authors, it seems, are not going to be in the running for "Most Human Humans" any time soon.
I appreciate reading your story. I'm ~6 years out of school having been in large companies and am wondering if it's normal to have the joy sucked out like I'm experiencing. If you don't mind me asking, how did you end up finding the small startup job? When I look at the job boards they're often dominated by the big guns or it's hard to sort through lots of small (oftentimes shady) postings - I don't know where to go to find small-by-design companies or similar mindset jobs.
As opposed to people living packed together in dense apartment blocks? Or working in crowded office blocks? Or spending leisure time in crowded recreational facilities? Or shopping in crowded stories? Or eating in crowded restaurants?

Yes, subways are crowded, but so is everything else in NYC. As for why NYC is doing much worse than other comparably dense cities worldwide, my thesis is that it's a failure at all levels of civic participation (federal, state, local, and even residential and commercial proprietors) to be proactive in counteracting the spread of coronavirus.
As a (hypothetical) author, one of my most obvious objections is that I can make sure I'm giving out the most recent, error-corrected version. I do not expect random 3rd parties to give much of a shit about such things.
Have you researched the DMCA? It criminalizes not only direct and indirect copyright infringement, but also the dissemination of tools that circumvent copyright protection. This isn't a case of "knives are legal" this is a case of "PopCornTime is illegal" because it circumvents copyright protection. No amount of doublespeak is going to make the repositories legal, which is what I was getting at in the first paragraph of my first comment.

The language regarding takedown notices in the safe harbor provision is worded toward copyrighted material and not piracy tools, but GitHub really can't play dumb after this notice. They have been notified that they are hosting an illegal tool, and if they want to continue being considered an immune service provider under the safe harbor provision they will have to keep the repository disabled. If GitHub willingly reinstates a repository that they know is illegal they could lose their status as a protected service provider and then the MPA can sue them.

It's not abuse of a DMCA takedown notice to use it against tools that are intended to infringe on copyrights (specific copyrighted works are presumably detailed in Exhibit A of their notice that I couldn't find). The MPA isn't being dishonest and claiming that they own the code, they are claiming that the code is predominately intended for illegal purposes under the DMCA. It's creative, but not dishonest. This isn't someone spamming DMCA notices at some innocent coder, this is pretty much the system working as intended.

I’ve followed this format ever since I read about BLUF [0], and I’ve found it to be highly effective.

I don’t use the same subject keywords the article describes, but I try to keep it concise. I put the point of the email first, a bit of background, and further explanation below that if required. I don’t think anybody really appreciates the beating around the bush and story telling that goes into a lot of corporate emails.

I haven't had an incident yet, but I'm way more careful with a young kid (or myself). Leaving one charging on a couch, for example, isn't something I'm comfortable with both because of it sliding a foot or two on to the carpet or bending the connector.

More annoyance comes from removing of the charging indicators that were on the magsafe port. The only clue is a small "ding" sound when it starts charging, but is easy to miss and won't happen in deep sleep. I've plugged in a laptop not noticing someone had unplugged the other end until the next morning my computer was still dead. It was also nice that you could see that amber charging light turn green so you knew it was charged without opening the lid and waking it up.
The idea being pushed is that America was founded centrally on racism, is still racist, and will forever be racist. I disagree entirely.

The Life of a Bolt (2016)
In my experience (since I was living there, not really "traveling" at the time) it's not really tied to the travel. For instance, I mostly was stuck in laser rock shows, but like flying through them at high speed. Not particularly an East-African experience.
That's wrong.

The probability of dying is much lower when you're young and without obvious preconditions, but there are twenty year old patients dying that seemed perfectly healthy.
People are optimistic that those problems can be solved. They also fear death.
I canceled mine after dragging my feet for years and paying way too much all that time. I have been dreading the call required to cancel but it went pretty smoothly. The lady asked why I was canceling and I said, "I only pay for this for Hockey (and sometimes Baseball) and I am no longer getting either". She seemed not surprised in the slightest and there was zero push back or painful trips to the "retention department". I too look forward to way better streaming options in the next couple of years.

I... never considered how inexplicable the sun must have been until we knew about nuclear fusion. I’ve just always taken it for granted.
I feel like you're being deliberately obtuse here. The law has more nuance than this. Intent matters.

The key phrase is "significant non-infringing use". Shoes are obviously not built specifically to enable people to commit crimes. And most people who use shoes are not using them to commit crimes.

PopcornTime was built specifically to enable copyright infringement. The vast majority of people using PopcornTime do so to gain unauthorized access to copyrighted material.

This bit doesn't even have anything to do with the DMCA. (Regardless, I agree that this particular case is an abuse of the DMCA takedown process.)

I despise our current copyright regime, though perhaps not with the vehemence that you have. But no matter what I wish the state of things would be, this is the law, and this is how judges have interpreted it ever since Napster showed up in their courtrooms (at least).

Initially Chinese people treated it as flu, then they freaked out finding it to be SARS-like, and Hong Kong, Taiwan and Singapore set temperature checks. During the SARS outbreak, Asian countries run totally unprotected for months with only thousands of cases, and actually they were relieved to know that the CFR is much lower. But this time, the virus is much contagious.

Actually many in China suspect that maybe a weak version has been around in SE Asia and China for years (remember that Malay pangolin?).

I think the parent poster would already be happy with an APT repo provided by Caddy. It wouldn’t need to be included in Debian itself.

When you can make dpkg files, making an apt repo is trivial (using reprepro shipped with Debian)

And when it’s your repo, you make the rules about packaging what dependencies into which file(s)

But by having an apt repo (that users would subscribe to), you make it much easier for users to keep up to date

I was on cholorquine. It was four pills, twice a day, for three days. They do have one-and-done pills that are MASSIVE, but they, from my friends' advice really screw with you even more than the normal stuff. Note: DON'T drink while being treated for malaria. The parasites hide out in your liver, and the drugs shut it down further. 1/3 of a pint and you're spinning like a freshman during welcome week.

That's not rock bottom. The knowledge inside major religions goes much deeper. Even if you have your life, relationships and ego bound together there are natural forces that bring us to one eternal doom.

You can have relationships based on emotionality instead of transacted value. It will be the norm for the next decade.

Belief in control of the larger world is trivial, we are the larger world. Gaze deeper into death, it is a tool for removing somethings or patterns that dont work anymore and it reveals more life underneath. Shame is the fear of disconnect, or rather the shame of shame is the fear of disconnection. Going through shame is normal, revealing and your reaction to it is far more important than what shame is as a social force or a feeling.

Flirting with death and being the outlawed cup that breaks and spills its relation to water everywhere is cool and all but people lose interest when you stop flirting and start breaking.

it pains me that there is no way to legitimately export your message history for archival. I know it's backed up with icloud and local backups, but I would love the ability to view message history, run analysis of my convos, and "archive" convos to date (i.e. I want to be able to go back and read the convo, but I don't want to have the 13.4TB of gifs on my phone anymore)

So, I may just replicate this "0day" and run it on myself... will be fixed soon, but at least I'd have a single snapshot

Twenty ways the world could end suddenly (2000)
I've recently spoken at two conferences that were converted from on-site to virtual, and my conclusion is that it's not worth it. Certainly as a speaker, it's pretty unpleasant talking for an hour into my webcam without any audience feedback.

But the bigger issue is that conferences are (for me, and I gather for a lot of people) mostly about the "hallway track," not the official talks. I get a lot more value for talking to people at lunch and after talks than I do from the presentations themselves. That's currently totally missing from the online conference platforms I've used, rendering the whole thing kind of pointless. I might as well just record my talk and put it on youtube; the conference itself it adding little value aside from curation.

I don't think there will be any onsite conferences for the next year, which is a shame. Hopefully they will return at some point.
Do what the professors tell you: buy (or download for free) the books, do all the practice exercises and proofs, go to office hours, listen to the professor in class and don't write everything they write, just the key stuff, and get together with other students to go over the harder problems.

That'll get you through the courses, and your level of effort and capabilities will determine how much you learn. Forget about grades, if you just do your best you'll get the best grade you can.
There are sizable open source projects which do all coordination asynchronously. There are no synchronous meetings, even online.

The military takes writing seriously.[1] People write things which are acted upon by others. The reader needs to understand clearly what is intended. Especially when they are out of communication with the sender.

It's worth understanding the military five-paragraph order format.[2] Not because it's used much in civilian life, but because it's a checklist for what must be covered in an order. Note especially "Commander's Intent" and "Desired Endstate". A key point in combat orders is knowing why something is being done. Because the enemy gets a vote. If things don't go as planned, then what?

I've long felt like Apple is uniquely easy to distrust, due to its almost total lack of visible employees. I assume there are actual people working there, but I've never seen one, say, speak (openly) at a meetup or answer a stackoverflow question, or the like. ~Everything I know about Apple either comes from an advertisement or from a guy who talked to a guy who talked to Gruber, and I have a feeling that that makes it easier for people to assume nefarious behavior behind the scenes.

Actually, with the exception of people working on standards committees, I think your comment may be the first time I've ever seen an Apple employee openly comment in a public forum.
> I did the math last week, and 0.2% of New York City had died either from the coronavirus, or from something that was probably the coronavirus
