The RIAA's claim includes that the browser UI conspicuously does not provide a download option, and the download option available in YouTube apps coming with protections for the media indicates an intent not to allow this, thereby not providing a download link is a technical protection measure.

The EFF's claim (on behalf of the youtube_dl developers) is that youtube_dl is performing the same actions as a browser as far as accessing the video file and so should not be treated differently, even if its output is to disk and not to the screen.

Under DMCA then we've had a claim, and counter notice. Despite the phrasing of Github inviting and wanting a counter notice, ultimately they are not the arbiters of legality, so their part in the process is now done.

The RIAA now has to bring the youtube_dl developers to court if they plan to keep pushing their argument, at which point we'll have the RIAA lawyers vs EFF lawyers and an eventual legal decision (with potential appeals in the process).
I completely understand why you see this as a 30-min fix, and therefore they should just knock it out.

That's not how they would likely see it. If their devs are 100% utilized (which I'm sure they are), then fixing any issue -- even a 30-min one -- is going to mean that a different issue is delayed.

The question becomes this: at what point is fixing this issue more valuable to the company than any other issue the same dev could work on?

And the answer is possibly "never", depending on what high-impact bugs, features, or technical debt they have on their priority list.

> This is binary all-or-nothing thinking. It considers 90% the same as 0%, since both are not 100%.

Thinking is not just "binary or not"; there are degrees. If exposing that group of people would be 90% pointless, it's not much less out of the question than if it were 100% pointless.
It's not treated differently at all - that's exactly what the EFF just argued in its response to the RIAA [1]:

> Because youtube-dl simply uses the "signature" code provided by YouTube in the same manner as any browser, rather than bypassing or avoiding it, it does not circumvent, and any alleged lack of authorization from YouTube or the RIAA is irrelevant.

They could throw few millions at lawyers to draw a law that makes organisations like RIAA illegal and then put forward few more millions at congressmen and lobby for its passage. That would make real difference. RIAA estate should be confiscated, sold and proceeds distributed among artists (not labels)

Pretty normal house, just under 200 square meter. But for example the kitchen alone has 2 ceiling lamps with 4 spots each, 6 lamps for countertop lighting and 2 in a wall of cabinets. So that's already 16 lamps in only the kitchen. It's more in the living room.

Even a bathroom easily has 6 or 8 in the ceiling, a few near the mirror etc.

I never made any argument about whether or not Obergefell v. Hodges is activism. You should read the 5-4 decision yourself and decide whether or not you think it is.

My personal opinion is that I don't care whether others think it's (liberal) activism.

My beef is that Alito is also engaging in (conservative) activism but claiming he is not by hiding behind originalism. I won't belabor this point further because I've already cited a source that makes the argument better than I can.

Disclosure: I want our government to use every tool at its disposal to make the world a better place. Of course the constitution should be interpreted in line with modern values in order to extend rights and protections to people. The declaration:

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."

The preamble:

"We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America."

Those are our stated shared values. Those align with my values. Not allowing gay people to marry is contrary to those values.

That five judges found a constitutional justification to extend the right of marriage to all, I'm glad for. If people want to call that "activism" so be it. Now, Alito still wants to take that right away. Indeed, he wants to be able to express that view and not be called a bigot for it. I find it deplorable to try to hide that view behind a legal theory called originalism.

Any originalist argument against "Obergefell v. Hodges" could equally be applied to "Loving v. Virginia."

I had the privilege of seeing Jeffrey do multiple live performances of his software (demoed @ 9:20) at different Internet Archive events while he was the artist in residence.

Each time, I got the delightful feeling that I was witnessing something special (and, of course, very weird in a good way). The performance is legitimately "live" in that he's creating new images from scratch, and it seems clear that he's able to build up this rich imagery from what seem like a handful of solid composable building blocks in his software.

I always found those performances inspiring in a similar way to how I feel the times I have visited DynamicLand. A wonderful blend of the physical medium and alternative ways of thinking about computers that produce such an interesting result, making me glad people like this exist in the world.

I can give you a case in point: we just tried to order Thai on Saturday from one of our favorite restaurants. They were short staffed in the kitchen and the wait time was over an hour... so we didn't order. I'm willing to bet a ton of other people did the same thing. Why should the Thai place have to PAY for people that declined to order?

I agree, I just wanted to make it extra clear for others how several large European countries seem to have numbers similar to the US (Ironically... I could have phrased it in a way that made that more clear to you.)

It seems to me that all remaining levels and sub-sectors of American society have responded reasonably competently, despite the grossly negligent and incompetent response (potentially even criminal?) from the administration.
ACLU and EFF are two of the last few remaining "Great" American institutions - living up to America's own image of itself.
Only the recipient has access to the DKIM signatures. If something is politically worth leaking then it's worth signing and time-stamping. At least then there's no question that it's the legitimate email and not falsified.
Have rogue orcas been attacking boats in The Atlantic?
I think this is a shameful argument. Non-repudiation over time is a truly powerful property of DKIM'd email for a great many uses outside of blackmail.

Calling for the ability to remove it during the years 2016-2020 in order to "protect politicians from blackmail" is not only of deeply questionable value but of suspect motivation. Who is the author interested in protecting?

Now that musicians make proportionally more from live shows (the recorded music is just the advertisement for the the show), the idea that anti-piracy is for the artists themselves is even more preposterous.

UBI + no anti-piracy would clearly be a huge improvement for the vast majority of artists and art itself. Let's just do that.

Came here to say this. This happens on all of Apple's operating systems - Mac, iOS, etc.

It's also a good idea to clean install all major (annual) versions of Apple OS's. When you install one major version over another, the upgrade script has to try to convert the configurations for most system services to the format for the new OS version and the possible combinations of settings in those configurations is virtually unlimited. A lot of post-upgrade issues and sluggishness result from non-optimal conversion of those configurations, especially on iOS. If you back up everything and format the drive before installing the new OS, everything will work much better. Yes it takes extra time to do that, but you will save many multiples of that time over the next year because your machine will run faster and have fewer issues.
> The threat is not limited to politicians. Anyone (including you and your family members) could be blackmailed or otherwise publicly embarrassed.

... for what they actually did.

You think the solution is allowing people to be blackmailed or otherwise publicly embarrassed for things they didn't do, while removing their ability to verify that they didn't do them?
You can use git to version almost anything - e.g. your essays or todo lists. That doesn't make you a developer.
Perversely, this solution could result in MORE emails being hacked MORE OFTEN. Allow me to explain.

If a hacker were to retrieve some emails before the DKIM key was made public, they could then sign their hacked emails with their own timestamped signature, proving that they are in fact authentic (since the signed timestamp shows that they were retrieved before the DKIM key was released).

Therefore, by rotating the DKIM keys "every few weeks" you are giving the would-be hackers a deadline to retrieve the target emails - a few weeks - which could lead to hackers preemptively hacking as many possibly useful accounts as possible (not just the ones they know they want at a given moment), every few weeks.

(The merits of OP's argument notwithstanding)

Year ago, long before I developed software, I would search for some software (to use, not to extend) and often find that the way to obtain it was by visiting SourceForge. In many ways, SourceForge and GitHub can be directly compared. Was I a developer for using SourceForge in this manner?
Exactly, I thought it was a great example of what a dumpster fire Windows 10 and its updates are that Microsoft has blocked them from its Surface devices. I can’t believe the corporation that’s supposed to be so great at integration between their custom hardware and OSs built just for it managed to get it worse than MS and MSW10.
Apple often ties their whole pipeline to OS updates for developers.

In the past it's been that developing on the latest iPhone needed the latest version of Xcode and the latest version of Xcode needed the latest version of the OS.

He mentions the politicians because those were high profile cases. This could be used against anybody, not just politicians.

Is this true of everybody else as well? Should anybody be able to deny an email they sent in the past? If so, we have to take this step.
I eventually identified that the feeling came from a noticeable divide between the people working the service industry and the people consuming the service industry. Added to that, and probably linked as cause/effect, was different places seemed to "switch" who was there based on time of day.
(skimming intro & conc) reads like a joke paper:

- their top characteristic is "writing good code"

- they censored the specific VCS

- they describe their insights as (inter alia) "ecologically valid"

----

This is HN, so... I'd approach the title as "when is x10 possible?"

- insight of a far simpler or faster etc implementation (e.g. better choice of modularity, factoring out hidden commonality, dynamic programming);

- insight about a better way to achieve the end result - might be no code at all

So I'm talking about insight. What personal qualities lead to insight? (note that there isn't always a better way to be found, so personal qualities don't guarantee it)

- be really really smart. Especially, large working memory, to be able to see connections. Or at least be able to load in (cram) the information temporarily.

- the ability to step back and notice the bigger picture. Executive function.

- ability to manage stress, so they have the breathing space to do that (the wisest engineers will choose a workplace that makes this easier)

Skill in proofs is a predictor: flexibility, handling complexity, managing the top-level purpose as well as the detail (forest-for-trees), noticing connections. Mathematical knowledge itself can help sometimes too.

But probably the skill in any intellectual discipline is an equally good predicator e.g. philosophy, history, law
Social distancing, masks still necessary after getting Covid-19 vaccine

Nonsense. Everything New Zealand or Taiwan or South Korea or now also Australia has done is public knowledge, very simple, and easily implementable in any developed nation that cares to. Australia had a big second wave surge with anti-social anti-maskers protesting too (not surprisingly most of their press is owned by Murdoch). They took the necessary action, enforced mask rules, got case numbers down to zero. Now they can start to live like normal.

Being an island. Yada yada. Has nothing to do with it. It’s all about the simple actions they took that we could repeat but some people don’t want to because they’ve been conned.

Being anti-mask and knowing it puts others at risk is purely an antisocial behavior. It’s a FU to everyone else. It costs nothing to do, it saves lives, and ironically is what would enable us to be as normal as we possibly can by controlling this thing. Being anti-mask and believing it doesn’t put others at risk is a sign they were conned by a few sociopaths who wanted to exploit this for their own political gain.

I've often found that simply buying an older model of a relatively popular brand is more than enough to get a working combo.

My go-to is Lenovo, and sticking to the Thinkpad line. Occasionally I've had some growing pains, but I've found using a model that's at least 12-18 months old is more than sufficient for patches to have made it upstream.

Obviously if you have some specific need for a rather new model, then going for something like the Dell XPS line or some other "Linux Certified" line is a better plan. But for my needs, anything within the last 6 years will likely be good enough in my book. I tend to kick intensive jobs off to my local server or set up a one-off in the cloud.

DKIM might have non-repudiation as unintended side effect, but I am totally fine with it!
I have personally never seen much value in Yelp. Most people use Google as a starting point when searching anything, and the Yelp page that is returned is not very helpful to me. At best, it contains menus, pictures, hours, phone number, and reviews. At worst, it has none of those and is effectively an ad for the Yelp app. Either way, Google shows me all of that before I click anything else.

Google absolutely tries to keep me on Google, but at least they have a "Website" button that takes me to a different domain that was set up by the restaurant itself.
I understand charging a fee to the customer who is making the choice to call, but if a restaurant simply answers the phone - how is it acceptable that Yelp can charge them for doing so? Did they consent to this fee?

No. Once DKIM keys are published, one can simply deny all emails published "from their account". We currently have a way for an attacker to prove an email's origin years after the fact.

Well just by searching the terms "Long Term Covid effects" would yield you a lot of results.

But the ones talked about most are the long lasting Mental Fog, Depression, Muscle Pain, Long lasting Headaches, Heart and Respiratory issues.

And anecdotally, I know of a few folks in my Hockey league community of which I am involved in that have said that after having had COVID, that they have either felt in the ranges of nothing at all (super lucky), or have had extreme issues where they could not get back to any strenuous activity much less any activity involving more than walking. Most of these guys would be considered pretty fit, ranging from the ages of 16 to 50.
In one case, they have had a constant headache for over a month which is just resolving now.
So what exactly does the 95% protection represent? 95% protection of people who wear masks and are good about social distancing and avoiding crowds/bad indoor situations? Or 95% of people going about their lives in the manner that we all did pre-Covid?

I really don't know how this is made to be some great news if it is the former and not the latter.
> I'll have to try KDE again, I always found it really messy and disorganised (but that was many years ago).

This was my reason for not using KDE for years. The UI these days is cleaner and leaner, rivaling XFCE in resource usage.

> I still find Gnome to be the most usable and aesthetically pleasing desktop by far.

This was my initial impression, as well. But if you want to do something that the GNOME team feels is superfluous, you're either out of luck or depending on some plugin that will break your DE if you upgrade GNOME.

On Plasma Desktop, almost everything is configurable, but it isn't overwhelming and disorganized like it was in KDE 3 & 4. There's a considerable amount of polish. Plugin bugs don't take down the entire desktop environment, either.
