Do those German firms hold a monopoly on copyright claims or something?

Years ago I noticed all the Recent records on Chilling Effects (now Lumen) were originated from German. I dug a little deeper and found out one of the firms were generating thousands of records per day and some of the claims were simply mistakes because they used simple string matching algorithms to automatically report massive amount of google search results.

After some email exchanges, their CEO admitted to me that they only generate 5% wrongful claims and somehow he's proud of it...

I'm not a lawyer but afaik the DMCA takedown process is prescribed by statute, and platforms must comply to qualify for the legal protections that make hosting user-generated content possible.

Friedman would certainly be removed by Microsoft if he jeopardized GitHub's legal protections by defying the mandated process, to say nothing of the potential of creating personal legal liability, both criminal and civil.

youtube-dl remains freely available off-GitHub (not to mention on the local disk of anyone who ran `git clone`). I just used it 10 minutes ago. There is no public good served by defying the law here, and there is no reason to put the whole kit and kaboodle on the line over it.

tl;dr, ignoring the DMCA process isn't just a "somewhat risky move". If we're going to break out the pitchforks, let's at least point them in the right direction: write your Congresscritters and tell them you want to see copyright law reform.
Kind of, but the real way I see it is: “there is a whole wide swath of problems that would benefit from simple programming/automation, but they aren’t ROI positive to pay a professional programmer to do.” So the no/low code stuff can change that and lower the barrier to introduce automation and programmability to a big tranche of problem areas that aren’t served by ‘traditional’ development. I don’t see that as a bad thing.
This is not an IPO by a private company. This a wholly owned subsidiary of a government, just like Saudi Aramco. Jack Ma is a high ranking CCP member with government money, not a private businessman: https://www.bbc.com/news/business-46353767
Agreed, it just doubletalk, like calling Creationism "guided evolution".

As someone who uses youtube-dl for all the videos online, it's presence in any repos isn't as important as it may seem, because it breaks from time to time for some websites and you need to update it in order to keep using it, which is only easy if you keep it in your home directory so you can just run youtube-dl -U once it breaks.
At this point it's less about software maintenance and more about the streisand effect

yea there are a few use cases where scan is better. For example when you're too far to comfortably tap, like a drive through / toll station. With a tap you often have to reach over, of they have to bring the terminal out of the window / booth. Scan they just hold it up and you scan.
Meanwhile I have a Twitter bot which only replies to direct @ mentions, with 3000+ followers, and it gets shadowbanned on a monthly basis, hiding the bot's reply not only from random viewers, but even from the very person who is tweeting @ my bot and also follows my bot...

And they somehow claim that they don't "shadowban" [0]. What a joke. Worst part is that since you're not actually banned, there's literally no recourse or support you can get either.

But then these new accounts with no followers can spam thousands of tweets to big accounts and get away with it? Very strange.

There are smaller projects who get along fine with larger scopes but I think the opposite will hapen. This has given them enough popularity to overtake other similiar projects. This can turn be widely popular.

I started downloading from youtube because of this. I haven't come across RIAA protected content but who knows what the future holds

LG UltraWide Festival 2020 – In Search of Lost Code (1min)
A family member drives for one of the largest Trucking companies in NA. They have specialized drivers that take the loads into NYC, Boston, etc. He drops the trailer at a yard outside the city and a city truck and driver take it in.

It just works out better for the company since these drivers know their city and that is all they do. It keeps the company from having accident insurance claims.

I doubt there will ever be self driving Tractor Trailer type vehicles in any city. It requires some serious skill and intuition about your rig and roads, like where to take the truck wide to complete a right turn without taking down the street light or pedestrian waiting to cross would be a good example.
Interesting article; much impressive research. If I may suggest it, there's probably another side of the stories, contemporaneous to the events, in the mailing lists of various network operators groups and sysadmin bitch fest forums. Often they may be of the form "the media said 'attack' but it was a minor service outage"
Whenever the Next.js + Vercel combo gains a new feature, Vercel ensures that it's available in standalone Next.js too – even when deployed to other providers.

That's true for all the features mentioned in the Next.js 10 blog post: Image optimization, Internationalization, but also Analytics.

Since you mentioned the latter: Did you notice that we wrote a detailed documentation page about how to report those metrics to any service of your choice?

https://nextjs.org/docs/advanced-features/measuring-performa...

Sure, there's obviously a whole UI piece to this as well – but since you interact with Next.js programmatically and there's a quite sophisticated data storage that needs to back all of this as well, Vercel optionally provides you with a pre-built solution.

But again, to be clear: If you want to use Analytics + Next.js elsewhere, Next.js supports reporting them natively – even if not hosted on Vercel.
Not likely with all the stimulus.
It's not worth playing cat and mouse with scrapers, it'll always be relatively trivial to solve compared to the engineering effort to come up with a new strategy, and that's with brute force scraping which is a fair way behind methods commercial scraping companies have been using for a long time.
I don't think that is a universal rule - that equipment fees make back many times the cost of the device.

A high end DVR may cost close to 1000$ and a 20$/month equipment fee will barely break even over the life of the device...
If that was true, it would put them over the legal limits for overtime under Polish labour laws (max 8 hours per week, 150 hours per year).
Well, this could be because you are running out of memory, which results in the yarn build process getting killed. The simplest solution is to enable "swap" in your instance by using the following commands:

dd if=/dev/zero of=/swapfile bs=1M count=1024
sudo chown root:root /swapfile
chmod 600 /swapfile
mkswap /swapfile
swapon /swapfile
add /etc/fstab
/swapfile swap swap
defaults 0 0

#echo 0 > /proc/sys/vm/swappiness
sudo sysctl vm.swappiness=10
add to /etc/sysctl.conf
vm.swappiness=10

All I am doing is creating a swap file of 1GB and enabling it with a not so aggressive swappinness on the kernel.

Yes. Github does that when you delete a repository. You have to confirm by typing in the name of the repository you are deleting.
1. Practice relaxation breathing and progressive muscle relaxation(as often as needed).

2. Work in short time increments (~20 min). Use a timer. Take breaks.

3. Spend time up front defining the problem you're working on. Iterating on this will help clarify your thinking along the way.

4. Spend time writing out explanations of what you don't understand. Iterate on this until you feel you understand (i.e., the Feynman technique).

5. Keep a log of some sort. Key thoughts, actions you took, observations you made, lessons you learned. Keep it brief, but keep it. When you're feeling unfocused/lost, review your log.
It's also super expensive to develop current generation offensive and defensive military hardware. It's super expensive to play wargames.

The end result is know about an issue someone else could exploit if they have the time and will to do so. The US is going against state sponsored actors who will spend the time and energy to figure out ways they could cripple our country. And we do the exact same thing to them.

Security is done in layers. If you're a nation state, you need to be prepared to defend against other nation state actors. And that costs a lot of money.
Workflow Optimization
At the current pace of work, it is very difficult to keep abreast of events, especially when you are part of a large energetic team.
But such awareness is the key to successful management decisions.
An important criterion for the productivity of people running a company is the ability to quickly understand the essence of an urgent problem. But for this you need to process large streams of information, notice and remember what is really important.
Is the optimization of such a process interesting?
I've typically used pdsh https://github.com/chaos/pdsh for these types of commands, and I don't think they have any such safety options. The only protection is to be wracked with fear whenever you type pdsh. Obviously this fear wanes with use, and eventually you don't think about a command for long enough before you do it and hit enter on a regrettable one.
For the "EC" of ECMP and for the "TCP" of MPTCP. I'm only half-joking:

MPTCP works just fine on different internet connections, while ECMP assumes everything has the same bandwidth. And the MPTCP gives the reliability of TCP: if one connection is dead, it'll detect it and transmit lost packets to the other one. It even supports break-before-make, so you can loose all your internet connections, then get a new one, and it'll resume.

Let's set politics aside and look at how Trump's behavior can be considered, as lenitabinol said, disgusting. I'm surprised this isn't apparent. You even note how he isn't politically correct. You don't understand how people don't like that? Or do you not understand that people don't think leaders should be tweeting out their random thoughts like an average person? You aren't being downvoted because echo chamber, you're being downvoted for either trolling or being dense.

But if that doesn't do it we can see things like:

- Making fun of a disabled person

- Saying Mexico is "not sending their best, but their worst" i.e. rapists and drug dealers.

- "Grab 'em by the pussy"

- Calling people dumb, ugly, or other demeaning terms on national television. Including world leaders.

- Hanging out with Epstein.

- Having difficult times answering softball questions like "Do you denounce White Nationalism?" Just say yes. Not "I don't know who you're talking about" not "Who?" Just say "I don't support White Nationalists." Full stop. Could even say "I don't support Nazis." or "I don't support the KKK." But just blabbing on makes people think he's dodging the question and not honest. He does this on many things, even when it is clear he isn't lying which makes people uncomfortable with him.

I can provide sources for all these things and many more, but it is pretty easy to find and all these things have made the national coverage many times over the last year so it is assumed that you're aware. What I don't understand is how you don't understand how someone might be offended by any single one of these events.
Tutorial: In-memory Git clone, commit and push using GO
Hi, one of the maintainers of Git LFS here. I'm also a Git contributor, and I don't think it's a secret or in any way shocking to most of the Git contributors that the intended purpose of the smudge/clean filter functionality in Git was to perform simpler modifications on source code.

However, one of the benefits to Git is that it is enormously flexible, and Git can be and is successfully leveraged to provide large file functionality using this mechanism. Before I maintained Git LFS or knew how it worked, I hypothesized that this would be the ideal mechanism to do handling of large files, so it shouldn't be surprising that the original developers decided to do so. We just need to be cognizant that as with any design, there are going to be some limitations, which is what I was mentioning in that thread.

As a side note, it's intentional that we don't use hard links or symlinks into the LFS storage because that makes it extremely easy to destroy or corrupt data by modifying the working tree, so Git's behavior here is actually helpful. There is copy-on-write functionality in Git LFS that can be used if your file system supports it to make the size of the repository a little less painful with large files.
I completely disagree. I have been using for example NewPipe from FDroid which is autobuild regularly as native Android program.

I would no longer expect FDroid now to keep doing this if they risk a DCMA letter that takes out their entire repo.

And I would assume a shitton of users use yt-dl code through another GUI application, rather than directly through an EasyInstall/virtualenv/whatever. And will most py repos still dare to host/link this code if the risk is a DMCA letter to their ISP?
I think you might be right, but I also don't know how viable this was before the DMCA.

I have never been able to get youtube-dl to work with (both ubuntu / mint) distro packages. The packages always fall out of date due to youtube changing things, and you need to download it directly from the youtube-dl website regardless.
I've been fiddling with Fossil (https://fossil-scm.org) lately and the fact that it includes Wiki, forum and bug lists in the core source control project is looking better and better with all of this.

Scraping an unwilling system is already essentially illegal, there's a long case history on this. It's only recently starting to change (via pure judicial activism) in HiQ v. LinkedIn. As written, the CFAA allows anyone to make a felon out of a persistent scraper.
It's absolutely terrifying. My grandfather also had it, and it's terrifying to me that I might end up like him in 40 years or less. I honestly don't know what I'd do if I ever did get diagnosed with it. Unfortunately, my father refuses to discuss it and the possibility he might be at risk, even though he's slowly getting closer to the age my grandfather was when he was diagnosed.

Twitter’s Jack Dorsey: A Hands-Off CEO in a Time of Turmoil
In the case of the DRAM chip, the only relevant feature is its functional behavior. The stored charge and its electric field are isomorphic, i.e. have the same functional properties. So the difference is meaningless. But the question of what constitutes consciousness isn't merely about functional equivalence. If we took away the brain but left the dynamics of the electromagnetic field in tact, would there still be consciousness? Or vice-versa? The distinction I point out points to different answers to this question. This is a relevant philosophical difference, although no practical difference.
>The president's ability to physically cut someone open is not relevant to whether it's a good idea to use nuclear weapons or not

I'm sure if the president was physically incapable of wielding a knife, she would have someone on hand to do that for her.
Like acoard said below, I think the recommendation there would be to use their hybrid cache / dynamic rendering option. You do lose a lot of the cool benefits of being fully static in that case though. In general, yes that kind of documentation would be very helpful.

You shared the information with your Facebook friends without any protections. Why shouldn't they be allowed to share it with other people? What legal obligation do they have to keep the information you shared private?
in this case I agree, what these people are doing is effectively gambling. I'm just pushing back on the frustrating meme that "investing is literally gambling". there are definitions of "investing" and "gambling" that can make that sentence true, but they are not particularly useful outside of convincing laypeople not to put their life savings into $TSLA weeklies.

it's certainly possible to gamble with stocks and derivatives, but in general, investing and even speculating are not necessarily gambling. imo the difference is in the strategy behind the trades. though wildly risky, speculation can be rational when backed by an advantage in information and/or analysis. a retail investor watching daily prices and backfitting a narrative from news stories is not an example of a rational trading strategy.

She also suggests localizing the number will prevent copy paste somehow.
Even as a physicist (sorry) I can see a clear evolutionary utility of consciousness. If all organisms as a rule are guided towards an optimal state (survival, reproduction, etc.) based on sensory input and a learned world model, then the second order evolutionary trait that would help an organism the most is executive access to the optimizer itself or the ability to synthesize a phase space of possibilities through imagination/dreaming. Both of these aspects may be what we call consciousness.
Yes, that's the thing a lot of techies have glossed over. The increased usage of youtube-dl since the takedown letter was sent makes the RIAA's case stronger if the RIAA takes this to court. (It's not as apparent on HN where people have been bringing up their (mostly) fair uses, but on Reddit and other forums, people have been proudly proclaiming how they just downloaded youtube-dl and began downloading music videos from YouTube.)

Ironically, by using youtube-dl en masse to "stick it to the RIAA" they may have inadvertently dug its grave instead.
There is no breakdown there of where these miles occurred. It appears that most of those miles came out of the Phoenix area which leads back to my original point.

Either way, 20 million miles is once again a drop in the bucket compared to the number which would indicate these cars are as safe or safer than human drivers. For comparison, Tesla is likely around 4 billion miles with Autopilot. I still wouldn't be comfortable saying definitively that Autopilot is as safe or safer than humans.
The difference is that for most people their phone is always in their pocket or easy to grab, 24/7. A credit card may be tucked away somewhere for emergencies, or left at home. I lost my credit card somewhere years ago and didn't care when I lived in China because the physical object was irrelevant. It's only when I got back to North America that I realized some retailers still awkwardly require you to present the physical thing.

Just like the phone made wrist watches and portable music devices obsolete, it's also made the wallet obsolete. I agree that both NFC and QR code are equally convenient (although obviously QR codes are more accessible because they work on all phones and no special scanning devices are required), but I think the main issue is with NFC in a card versus NFC in a phone. The phone is always going to be more convenient, because people today are rarely - if ever - without their phone.
After watching the video from Scott Manley (great video) I can see how the sampling mechanism is supposed to work.

I wonder whether they can make use of momentum to close the sample doors and capture the samples preventing closure.

Since there are some chunks preventing closure and they had planned to be able to sample more than once in the event that the first attempt didn't recover enough material that means that they can control the opening and closing of the sample doors.

It seems to me, having grown up as a kid being transported in an old Pontiac station wagon back before seat belts, that you could extend the arm behind Osiris-Rex pointing opposite the direction of travel and then trigger the doors open just as you fire to decelerate and the particles preventing closure should zoom into the collector like preschoolers into the windshield of that old station wagon when the brakes were applied.
That's exactly why it's not a "confirmation box", but requires you to slow down and think for half a second. She even talked about mitigating copy-paste, which is the next obvious way people could habituate.

Also, while undo is great, it's not always technically feasible. The tools in question are basically for modifying the layer that implements undo for your end users, and are often themselves fundamentally irreversible. Undo for raw hard disks involves forensic analysis at best.
