One of the tests in question extracts the m4a audio file of a Taylor Swift song [0] that has nearly 3 billion views and shows me 2 ads before playing. That's a lot of revenue for UMG, who I guess are a bit unhappy with this mechanism that youtube-dl provides of listening to it without having to watch the ads.

I think the main difference is that Google welcomes intrapreneurship while Apple does a more top-down approach.
The DMCA only applies to the USA. In my opinion it'll only take days if not hours for the files to appear on a website in Eastern Europe, somewhere that the RIAA can't get at.

If that happens, the difference is that these are public domain non-copyrghted materials -- not the copyrighted videos, thus stopping access to the files will be more problematic.
I remember reading somewhere that Roman emperors would give troublesome patricians an elephant as a gift. If he let the elephant die it was a grave insult and the emperor would proscribe him and take all his stuff. And otherwise he’d be stuck paying for the upkeep of a useless elephant.
And the rest of the world, where colonialist policies have left a historical legacy of disenfranchisement among less-favored groups, often along color lines.
I have 20 year old Perl code I run in production. I had to re-install it our move to Amazon Linux 2. My 10 year old install process for the cpanm setup still worked. My 10 year old Python had to be moved to python 3; but the 20 year old Perl still runs

I am guessing they'll find a country with more respect for freedom than the USA and host it there. All the devs will obviously have the full repo and history to put it elsewhere.
In case anyone else is wondering, it looks like this will show if any SHA1 signatures are involved (brew or apt install pgpdump).

gpg --export -a {keyname} | pgpdump

Surprised it isn't in gpg itself - maybe that's why Debian developers hadn't noticed.
Agree strongly, also, nobody ever told me my signature was significant. I’ve never had a “signature” and nobody has ever told me I needed to. The scrawl on the back of credit cards used to be checked in 2000-2010 but not since, and even then I just scribbled.

Learning that votes are thrown out based on this just shows how “special” the US system is. I assume historically they just decided “hard to read” names got thrown out.

Given that Google Play Music was the default app for "I just want to play that folder full of MP3s on my phone", and YouTube Music really isn't handling that use case well, what other player do people use/recommend for this?

I don't care about online features. Folder, mp3, maybe a m3u/m3u8 file, play. Simple.

Well, I guess he stopped doing it at some date before 2007. That's why he told an audience of 500 people about it. He sorta "cashed out" by making it a fun story about him being clever, instead of a last magic trick. He must have simply gotten tired of doing this every day and seeing all those cards in the waste basket (or burning them?).

If he had indeed tried to pull that trick in 2020, a lot of people would have remembered that he said he was setting it up.

I don't see a big difference between the two in the matter of how the "reasonable expectations" of people are formed by technological realities. Sure there are minuscule formal differences, but on the grand scale going off-grid is like walking around in public with a ski-mask to avoid facial recognition.
IMO Mozilla should allocate 40% of their funding from Google every year into a sustainability fund. Keep it invested in very safe bonds or something. In 5 years Mozilla will be financially independent. Then they can do all this fancy stuff.

Every vote in every election does count. The current selection of states that vote so consistently for one party is a trend that goes all the way back to... Bill Clinton’s election. It’s not anomalous in history at all, and you have no reason to believe that in the future California wouldn’t go back to being a sure bet for Republicans, and Texas a sure bet for Democrats. If a person thinks their vote doesn’t count because of the state they live in, they haven’t been failed by the electoral college, they’ve been failed by their own ignorance of history.

I feel that is rather thin legal grounds, if the examples are what dictate legality. The fact that I can change some text that does not change the function of code, or what can be done with it, to suddenly make it more legal does not sound like very great legal basis.
Welcome to the USA where the court system isn't about the law or justice. It's about who has the most money and resources to win a war of attrition in court.
Meh, pretty good claim of fair use. They are just picking a smaller file that unlikely to disappear or move. The fact the file is downloaded and then deleted via a script isn't a substitute for actually viewing the file and has zero commercial impact.

And the take down could have been targeted against the particular files they found problematic rather than the whole project.

And the whole thing is ceded to the public domain. Anyone can remove the examples and unit test, call the code webvid-dl and be golden.

Practical experience is that while there are kinks, Jinja and SQL marry fairly well together. Combining this idea and snowflake we have been able to create some extremely versatile metrics reporting systems that run with zero intervention I wouldn't have imagined a year or two back!

Is it farcical? Signature verification is the only thing they use in Maryland. You just go up and write in your address and sign. I don’t know how reliable signatures are but people assure me that not requiring ID is fine because there are signatures: https://www.brennancenter.org/our-work/research-reports/poli...

> JavaScript is still the same, you still can and pollute the global window object, use global variables, etc.

If you are writing in a modern framework, this is now not possible, without really, intentionally, breaking a lot of things to be able to do so.

Its more like finally having a real programming language, but for backwards compatibility, you can still peer under your framework and libraries and see all the nonsense that used to be available.

> Since I work mostly alone and clients don't care what tech stack I choose, I guess I'm in luck.

Most likely if you're a single person working on such projects, you usually won't hit the complexity needed to justify these tools. That said, since most modern work is being done within them, you are also missing out on the ability to leverage those capabilities when needed. But fair enough!
Downloading a Youtube video with youtube-dl IS NOT violating copyright in the USA.

Downloading videos may violate Youtube's TOS, but that's civil/contract law and not criminal and so the DMCA can't be used to enforce such TOS violations.

A person might share a video they don't own the copyright to, after downloading it from youtube with youtube-dl, but youtube-dl has no functionality in it to do such illegal sharing. It only has the time-shift functionality.

The only tenuous leg the RIAA has to stand on is claiming that allowing only streaming of content constitutes some form of digital rights management code, and by reverse engineering it, without imposing the same restrictions as Youtube's website and apps, do, maybe that's some form of circumvention which will be found not entirely legal.

They had to cite a German legal ruling which found YouTube’s “rolling cipher” was an anti-circumvention device. But German court rulings have no bearing on US law, and Germany doesn't have a DMCA statute, so it is a specious claim, and the RIAA is just hoping an open source project won't be able to fund a legal defense.

It's Betamax time-shifting plus macrovision/video stabilizers all over again.
It requires really digging deep and realizing many (most?) of the people at the top of fields critical to the future of humanity are from the US.
The conspicuous lack of a feature is not an active measure to be circumvented. Also, no one says you need to consume HTTP payloads with a traditional browser, no matter how much the rest of the worldwants to think that the Internet is all about the WWW.

Finally, there is most definitely gobs of YouTube public domain or CC-by-SA. Copyright owners who reserve all rights are not the center of the Universe.

I guess I was thinking “wife’s siblings and nieces and nephews” more than “wife’s parents,” which in my experience have gotten along with well, but the point is it could be her activity that you're joining in with just as much as it could be your thing.

Well, I wouldn't standardize on specific tools, but I agree, that there's that trio:

- infrastructure

- configuration management

- image building

Although, frankly, the last two are solved much more elegantly through NixOS, so it ultimately could be:

- infrastructure configuration

- system configuration
Github and YouTube and most other places immediately take down content. It’s also extremely difficult to reinstate content, if possible at all.

Against nation state, that ship sailed a long time ago.

Something interesting is that before 12-tone equal temperament, you'd tune your instrument in just ratios (basically using harmonics/whole ratios), so there would actually be interval differences between keys.
Sounds like you've got an axe to grind with Apple though, and are biased negatively because of it.

Apple's products are demonstrably supported in software far longer than other manufacturers. People rate the physical build quality of their products very high as well.

It seems that people like the benefits and features of Apple hardware enough to overlook the problems with self-repairability.

And regarding the app store, maybe because you're in the industry you think it's a generally big problem, because you're affected. But it's a 1% privilege issue to most of the world.

It seems Apple is doing enough right that its value is climbing.
It would be terrible if youtube-dl.com would digitally sign and release youtube-dl source as zips on thepiratebay and other torrenting sites instead of github.com.
Well the reason that md5 is a bad choice for that has nothing to do with collisions or this article. Sha-256 would also be a bad choice for that.

This argument never made sense. In a one person one vote system, the concept of a state never comes into play. It is a national election, states are irrelevant.

Under the electoral college system, states actually come into play. There could be a case where a state grows large enough in population to get 51% of the electoral votes. If that state had a winner take all system, then that state would choose every president. It would 100% dominate, non of the other states would matter.

The electoral college is truly a terrible system, unless the founders wanted Florida to decide every election.

One effect not considered in early considerations was the differential radial speed. So even the ability to seed planets 10 light years closer or further from the galactic core over a few 100M years results in expansion much more quickly than earlier models.
Google Colab has a very very strong Engineering team. Part of Google Research they definetly changed the game when they offer a free product which 1) increased collaboration across ML research 2) offer everybody access to GPUs first K80 and now T4 which is great among researchers and students. Now many other notebooks products now want to be the Enterprise colab version
One wonders if Mr. Lazaroff would hire a crew of painters to come to paint his home and accept them going and doing political advocacy instead of painting while he is paying them for their time. Because that is what he is arguing for.

In a business, there are some employees vested with certain authority and responsibility to determine corporate direction, including what political influence to apply (for the benefit of the business), and other employees who are not and have different roles. One could only accept the logic in the essay if one did not believe in that distinction, which would be a very peculiar worldview indeed.
How much does it cost you in server costs to host this? GPU cloud servers arent cheap, how much do you plan to charge for it in future?

Finding the two collisions are not independent of each other so its more like finding the collision in whichever function is stronger. (I.e. finding a collision in md5 + sha1 is roughly as hard as finding a collision in just sha1)

I totally agree with you. I had one free day in Paris a bit ago, and I spent it at d'Orsay, and it was amazing. Also, the restaurant is really neat with the big clock, and a must experience. I got a piece of lasagna for under 15 euro, and spent an hour just relaxing in the middle of my visit.

I think the biggest problem with nuclear energy is humanity itself. We are simply not capable of making long term commitment and keeping them. Sure theoretically nuclear power is safe, especially in developed countries like the US and Europe.

But let's pretend we build a super safe nuclear facility somewhere in Europe. In the beginning we will be very vigilant. The depleted ore will be properly stored (or whatever the toxic nuclear byproduct is). Maintenance will be kept to highest standard but what happens in 20 years? During that time frame a lot can change, a country can be bankrupted, and has to cut a budget. What is a fairly rich country today might not be one in 20 years.

But let's say that doesn't happen. We also always try to optimize. Say we fill our storage for depleted ore, and we look for a new one. We figure out that we can outsource it to another country because it is cheaper. This country has the same standards we do, so we happily give it to them. But after a while they can't accept anymore so we start looking for other countries to sell our waste product to, and because we have already outsourced it once, we will probably do it again but this time at lower standards.

What I am saying is, it is really difficult to predict how we handle a nuclear plant built today, 40-100 years from now, because this is how long the lifetime of a plant and its byproducts are at minimum.

Meanwhile wind/solar/batteries has a much better defined lifetime. After only 10 years we will most likely recycle them. Yes sometimes recycling them creates unnecessary waste because some countries/companies/people will cut corners but the damage caused by improperly recycled solar and even batteries is so much lower then the damage of what a nuclear power plant can do.

So the question is, do we trust all countries that 'can safely operate a nuclear plant today' to do so in 20-50 years? What about the waste products? Can we be sure that they will always be properly stored? That every country checks their stores for leaks regularly over 100 years? And this doesn't even account for developing countries that want -- and possible need nuclear power -- to catch up to developed countries. Can we just deny it to them while we are doing it ourselves?

If humanity has proven anything, it's that we are not capable of making such decisions of a long period of time reliably.
850 people in a country of 328,000,000 is incredibly small. Does that include people that were actively resisting arrest such as firing on the police?

"README and parts of the code explicitly refer to downloading music videos subject to RIAA licensing."

It beggars belief that people can be this stupid. Why the hell would one mention it here? Are they truly that stupid to believe that the RIAA wouldn't see it? Then they made matters even worste by putting it on Github instead of some obscure website in Eastern Europe?

Youtube music is absolute garbage. I can't use my youtube account, and I have to use my google account to access my tranferred music. And if I switch to my google account, I am logged out of youtube, and all my subscriptions are gone.

I listen to very uncommon music that's not available anywhere to be streamed. Google Play Music was the only solution for streaming all my collection. I am looking for replacements... please let me know if you have any. My current bet is something like owncloud.
The switch to YouTube music was the last in a long chain of disappointments from Google, so two weeks ago I switched back to iPhone after 8 years of Android. I really, really wanted to like Android.
