> Defendants made unauthorized reproductions of Plaintiff’s lyric transcriptions and profited off of those unauthorized reproductions, which is behavior that falls under federal copyright law.

Does this mean Genius still has grounds to sue, as the copyright protections are on their “work” which is the transcription?

It also seems to mean a ToS is not useful for protecting content, only determining legal users interaction with it (Excluding loading the page). A webpage is a work rendered through a browser, kinda makes sense I guess.
It was also common for leaders to own slaves. What is common does != what is right, meaningful, or that it should be used as a guide.
We trust them to answer to SCOTUS, who we in turn trust to interpret the constitution that a majority of us have agreed to keep. Basically a group of people whose entire job is to interpret the actions in terms of law, constitution, and human rights - a marrying of theories on social contract, natural rights, and separation of powers that we've seen emulated (and improved upon) across the free world :)

Overall, I particularly enjoy this system over one that is accountable to a single entity.

Prometheuses.

Thanks for the links. At this point I almost feel like this scam needs serious investigative journalism (wish we could interest a Matt Taibbi on this matter the same way he took on 2008 financial scams). This could be gaming’s Theranos.
While we are focusing in technology, once need to look into their Finance team and how they push leadership on terms of income/cash flow. Recently one ex-Google guy joined as COO not after a very successful gig in Cloud, hope he helps leadership this time.

Boeing 747s Still Use Floppy Disks to Get Critical Software Updates
I regularly slow to a crawl on a 32gb Mac Book Pro requiring a reboot because it starts swapping thanks to Chrome tabs, electron apps/VSCode, and webpack/cargo/whatever to the point that running cat on a file takes 5-10 seconds. All it takes is a little memory exhaustion for the kernel to pick a process for swap (iterm and its children? why, thank you kernel!) and drive it into the ground. With Chrome it might swap just a single tab process or it might swap the rendering process

I don't know why it seems React apps are some of the worst offenders, but I think it has to do with hooks injecting context components everywhere (at least that's what it looked like last time I popped open React dev tools). I'm guessing that out of tree state tracking is particularly memory intensive.

Effective Tips to Lower Cards’ Credit Utilization and Have a Good Credit Score
I think a JSON parser is not a good example though — takes longer than a few hours / an afternoon, to write a JSON parser, add tests, fix bugs, corner cases. More like a week, or weeks, ...

... Look, a tiny json parser — Not an afternoon project: https://github.com/rafagafe/tiny-json/blob/master/tiny-json....

And a question about small JSON parsers — didn't see any afternoon projects among the answers:

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/6061172/smallest-less-in...

I suppose a JSON parser was just an example. Made the whole answer sound weird to me though :- ) when the blog is about afternoon-projects and then a reply is about a week(s), could be month(s), long project.
I just moved to Phoenix from Chicago - even in a major US city I'm forced to use DSL by the apartment complex I live in. I didn't think I'd have to check to see if I can get broadband because it seemed insane to think that it wouldn't be available.

Nonetheless, pages with needless weight have become incredibly annoying, inconvenient, and cumbersome. Also, the much of the rest of the US (outside of metro areas) has some really terrible access to decent internet speeds. That's not even to mention anywhere in the rest of the world.

So kindly cool it with your needless condescension. It's unnecessary and contributes nothing.
Im not sure Rust provides a lot of value for web development. Instead of Rust, use something like OCaml which has a nice front and backend story. It's certainly going to be a lot less work than using Rust. And more functional to boot.
Google has been doing this for a long time.

Rich snippets are all stolen pageviews. To make matters worse, they now don't let the site which is featured in the snippet have a secondary ranking further down the page.

They keep adding schema, which SEOs eat up because it provides a secondary level of content optimization but it's not as effective as it used to be for increasing CTR on your serp results.

The one positive of this is I no longer have to goto recipe sites which overload my screen with ads and put the ingredients 50% down the page. Google just scrapes the content and displays it in the snippet box.
Not GP but from memory this was the same incident: https://www.wired.com/2011/02/bing-copies-google/
Here is the question: Does Google has a right to block you? I believe they do, it is their API afterall.

In Genius's case, does it disallow Google for scraping?

From their robots.txt, I can't tell:

I guess that was a bit of a hyperbole. You can learn more about the mitochondria genetically engineering the nucleus, but the main problem is that there still is science to be done on the mitochondrial genome that is "locked" down by not being able to transform it, especially when it comes to stuff like how translation works within those mitochondria.

"deserving, if there is any" Ah yes, clearly no more imaginable deserving case in all the world than legally protected political donations COUGH METOO COUGH

No. That is not deserving, even if there was any.
Yeah, the tricky thing for those scraped by google is that given google's search monopoly, the sites can't block their scraping entirely, since they need to be shown in search results.
I think this is in general quite insightful, but I want to pick one nit (in reaction to "A professor doesn't tell you when to..."): having advised a number of PhD students (in applied math), I think one of the most important parts of the job of an advisor is to coach. That is, help students make decisions, set timelines, figure out when to do what. Most students who get this far are capable of solving well-posed, textbook-sized technical problems. What they have trouble with is how to break a big problem into smaller ones, which of the smaller problems to solve, in what order, how to prioritize, where to compromise, etc. Good advisors help beginning students do this. (Not that I'm good at this -- I've certainly learned this the hard way over the years; just hoping the students didn't suffer too much as a result.)
yep, and you can even make synthetic endosymbionts! (pretty new science too!)
Garbage.

We live in a society of laws. Even soldiers. Google have shown they have no respect for the law not equality before it and will cheat while using the law as a cudgel. Recall law exists that the strongest might not always get their way. "Ironic" is the pole way of pointing this out.

Without law, Google cease to exist immediately. They are incapable of enforcing property rights without it.

Pardons aside, soldiers go to jail for taking an attitude like Google's.

Page Monitor is pretty great for getting notified when the code on a specific page changes so you can be first to grab something that pops back in stock.
It's an interesting question. I don't trust Google, and a fast pivot to another product/offering wouldn't change that overnight, so I would lean towards no.

I paid for Youtube Red, even though I never signed into the service on Youtube and even though I already got all of the Youtube-specific benefit in the form of adblocking and NewPipe. I did that purely to try and signal to Google, "I will pay for content, I want you to have revenue sources outside advertising."

But ultimately Youtube Red seems to have been a failure, my signal hasn't changed the course of the company, and the parts of Youtube Red I did get value from (say, Music) have gotten noticeably worse over the years. I'm planning to drop my subscription in September. I think it would be tough for me to buy into another product like that from Google, my experience trying to buy products from Google to get around advertising/tracking has been both a practical and moral failure. Certainly I won't sign up for a paid GSuite account now.

But I do already pay for Email (Fastmail), bookmarking (Wallabag), and a few other "free" internet services and apps today. So I might pay for search if a company like DuckDuckGo offered it instead of Google. But I would need to see what their offer actually was.

I mean, heck, I'd be giving recurring donations to DuckDuckGo today if they accepted them, they're on my list of companies I want to exist. So paying 5$ a month for a "premium" search experience wouldn't really be that different, even if I never signed into it.
Ah, makes sense.

> in the worst case

I wonder if typical data is more forgiving. If, for example, we cut an optimal seam down the column n=x, and the DP algorithm tells us that the best seams starting at (0,x-1) and at (0,x+1) are also column seams, the next iteration can happen in linear time in the number of rows. (Plus number of columns -- pessimistically -- if the next-optimal seam isn't "nearby".)

Basically, you're checking the things that crossed the old seam, and I'd guess that'd happen often enough, but I don't know how far the effects would typically spread. Maybe it would work worse in "sparse" images like blue sky, and better in "noisier" images like forests and crowds and dogs' fur.

I'm not sure how much cost that data-dependence would incur though. Might not be worthwhile.

Because they'll block you. You can prevent Google from indexing your content using robots.txt (Google has a robots.txt on its site as well).

You don't have a right to access their service as many times as you want to, eg by automated means, although you can attempt it. Flip a coin on whether they sue to stop you if you become too annoying.

The Genius complaint is essentially that they want to be represented in Google search without having Google take lyrics from their service and use them in their own served-up content snippets (making a sizable part of the value of genius.com void). Genius knows Google can get lyrics elsewhere if they have to, the lawsuit is probably out of spite due to past conflict with Google and their annoyance at Google competing with them in a shady way (Google was de facto using Genius's service to reduce the value of Genius).

Just like Genius, Google licensed the lyrics. If they didn't, the publishers definitely would have sued.

Ironically, it is Genius that seems to have no respect for copyright law. Genius ended up having to settle a case years ago because they were using lyrics without the appropriate licensing [1].

Still a very cool technique, and pretty easy to implement.
Show HN: We just released v3 of our landing page – dunster.io
There are several changes applied:
1. added our list of partners for transparency, hopefully helps establish more trust
2. added customer feedback on our page, because people needs to know the thoughts of our existing customers
3. simplified colors and removed unnecessary elements so the viewer will only see what they need to see
4. FAQs, how it works, and reasons to incorporate in the US placed on a separate page accessible via "learn more"
5. added call to action button before the footer area

> If uBlock Origin doesn't update, there'll be a dozen adblockers that work with Manifest v3 on day 1.

You seem to not know what manifest v3 is actually doing.

Any adblocker with a static list of domains per-update of the crx file's manifest is useless. Users would have to install hundreds of extensions (each with dozens of domains that they themselves block), just to have the same functionality.

If any anti adblocking team of any ad network decides to just rename foo.tracker.net to bar.tracker.net, all adblocker extension users would have to REINSTALL the chrome extension manually because the manifest's list of domain is statically builtin.
Awesome and congrats! - Can I ask - How do you (intend to) deal with tax from sales generated overseas? Would you outsource this, or manage it yourself? I intend to release also, but I'm not quite at the release stage. My mind is full of these non-software related questions...thanks in advance.
A lot depends on dietary habits. If you are vegetarian or don't eat much red meat, you might need iron. I take a multivitamin the size of a horse pill and cover my bases with that cocktail, rather than pick and guess.
You very well can, but that doesn't mean Google can't block you (CFAA protection). Genius here was reliant on Google for a large portion of their regular traffic so they couldn't just block Google without suffering revenue losses.
As far as I understand it, the governors of each state are telling "us" what is allowed or not. That's where the control lies currently, and "they" seem to have a few loose screws to say the least.

When i first visited Shanghai in 1989, there were no bridges or tunnels between the Bund sid eof the river and the Pudong side, only the ferries. (pudong was mostly farms.) The ferries are less used now, but there are still some in operation, incluidng some that run 24 hours a day:

The ferries are especially useful if you want to take a bicycle across the river.

You can still use normal adblockers with this.
Most of them just have a blacklist of domains that they block the requests for.
Wasm won't change anything about that.

The requests are still exactly the same as in JS, so blocking will work exactly the same.
That doesn’t match my memory at all. I recall a lot of word of mouth between non tech friends about “this new fast browser Google made”. At the time it really was eye-poppingly fast by comparison to the competition.

No, the core gameplay is the same, it's incredibly shallow, even by survival standards. I understand some people love busy work, but let's not pretend they did something incredible. They barely fulfilled their original promises (multi-player). Murray still needs to apologize publicly for his lies on TV though.
Why supplements instead of dietary, if you don't mind sharing?
This is me as well. It really hit home when I was talking with a friend about not joining a company that's just trying to get stuff out the door quickly. She said "you're an artisan, you just want to practice your art! And that's hard to do at some places."

I do really like that analogy, of artisanship or craftsmanship. I understand the business need to move quickly, but over time I've found myself more intrinsically motivated by building what I think of as well-designed systems. That, to me, is art. That's what I get excited about. I'd also like to think that some of the extra time I spend upfront is saved down the road when things don't break. I think great engineering cultures respect that balance.

I think people are so used to corporate "oh he was resigned" doublespeak that they can no longer take any such assertion seriously, regardless of facts.
I wonder if there's a connection to Nicotinamide Riboside (NR) supplementation.

NR is a precursor to NAD+, which has been shown to improve mitochondrial function especially under stress.

NAD+ is one of those molecules used in a ton of metabolic processes and over a lifespan NAD+ avalability declines. This decline is linked to numerous age-related diseases. There's a bit of research showing NAD+ supplementation contributes to anti-aging effects.

NR is easy to take, well-tolerated, and a cheap precursor for NAD+. There are IV clinics that have NAD+ infusions, but they cost like $500. On the other hand, you can get a month's supply of NR for around $50 (Thorne's ResveraCel).

Why's that? Ocaml has excellent performance and is a lot higher level than Rust. I personally see Rust as a language that really only should be used if utmost performance or hard latency requirements makes GC'd languages unsuitable. Most backends for web-app would run only marginally better with Rust than Ocaml and incur a steep productivity and maintenance penalty.

A lot of people seem to be suggesting Rust as a GC language replacement instead of a C/C++/asm replacement, which I've never really got. Is the mutation/lifetime/pointer management really worth it for this kind of thing?

> Do you think Starlink would be allowed to route TikTok traffic if it got banned?

Yes, without a doubt it would be allowed. The "TikTok ban" has already been signed by Trump, and nothing in the order prohibits AT&T, Verizon, Comcast or any other ISP from routing the traffic.

The executive branch doesn't have authority to prohibit legal speech. It has some powers to regulate commerce, that's it.
Yeah, if you're concern is managing a lot of machines, Salt, Puppet, Ansible, or Chef are the right tool; this isn't really a Docker thing. The PXE boot idea is interesting, and you can even do that diskless.
I have really good experience with Seeed Studio as manufacturer of Arduino clones (Seeeduino) and boards from many years back. Great to see them getting into the SBC/NUC space as well.

Personally I'm focusing on ARM architecture for devices in this range so hoping this is a precursor of them venturing further into the space.
I've had people tell me with a straight face "I've spent $4,000 on it and have loved it the whole time." It really is a next-level addiction.

You can. if you want a new piece of DNA stably inserted into the nuclear genome, you have a couple of options:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CRISPR

These next two do the same thing as CRISPR, only they are older technologies that take you longer to generate the probes in the lab to target your spot in the genome. The real advantage of CRISPR isn't what it does, that was already out there, it's that it's cheap and fast (comparatively) and an undergrad can do the whole experiment.

Google is not operating at a loss, however. They are not paying people exorbitant salaries to keep them from working at smaller companies. They are paying them six figure salaries and making _billions_ doing it. Google seems to very much care about making money. Six figures seems small to me, if anything.

Did I miss something?
I suppose stress-cleaning is a common enough trope, so it must be a real thing. The mindlessness and almost meditative factor seems key like you say.
