If this is Google being proactive about avoiding lawsuits, how come the same issue doesn't affect Patreon?

A number of 'reaction' channels have copyrighted content (full music videos) that is clipped on Youtube to avoid strikes. The full versions of these videos are on the uploader's Patreon.
> "With the way tech is increasingly getting locked down, what if we end up in a future where all the major computer vendors won't sell you anything, only lease it to you under strict terms, which include the right for them to brick it for any reason. Sure, you can still buy parts and build your own computer, but you can't use it for any bank or credit card transaction or government website because it's not SECURE."

It is already like this for mobile phones. If I install LineageOS on my Android phone, I will be unable to use various banking and payment apps. My bank's app won't run, their wallet app won't run, the mobile payment app used by nearly everyone won't run. I haven't tested it, but I'm pretty sure I would also be unable to use the official 2-factor authentication app that is used for just about every interaction with any public service and for 3D Secure authentication of card payments.

At least for the 2-factor part, accessibility requirements mean there are other options, including SMS one-time codes and physical cardboard code sheets, but I think it's a matter of time before those are phased out.

If you're not running an iPhone or Android phone with an officially sanctioned OS, you are a second-tier digital citizen at best.
Is it? I always thought there is only a fine for misrepresenting that you are representing the copyright owner. Not for falsely claiming a piece of work is indeed infringing.
My take on what the disagreement is about is that while there is agreement that the "Best Names Ever" list was inappropriate, there is disagreement about _why_ it was inappropriate. The founders seem to think it was inappropriate because making fun of your customers behind their back is not nice, but that it was not racist. The other contingent seems to think that in addition to being disrespectful of their customers, it was also racist. That contingent feels that in order to work towards a less racist future it is important to acknowledge past acts of racism.

Two other details I find interesting:

- In the post you linked to, DHH specifically talks about the Asian names on the list.

- The only attributed statements I've seen from any non-founder employees are from Jane Yang.

My guess here is that Jane is Asian, that she is likely one of the most involved employees in this situation, and that she feels that the inclusion of Asian names on the list constitutes anti-Asian racism. DHH clearly disagrees about the last point. If I'm right, this is a case where a white man is telling an Asian woman that comments she believes reflect anti-Asian bias are not racist. In my observation, white men telling minorities what is and is not racist is one of the surest ways to enrage those who feel passionately about racial justice issues.

Yes, correct. The govt reporting of every figure is less by a factor anywhere from 10-50, or maybe even more as well. The ground reality in India is way worse than what even the media is able to show. And, at present no light in the tunnel.

What you're describing is basically a textbook definition of 'politics'. I find it funny that you call this virtue signalling when that term was literally invented to describe the opposite: halfhearted political activism that isn't trying to build power.
Making sure that dividends are taxed like other types of income could make sense - not sure how this currently works in the US?
Removing dividends all-together? That doesn't seem like a good idea, because why would anyone invest in a business, if there is no potential for future cash flows arising from it?
Even companies that don't generally pay dividends have value, because they could. So removing dividends would also require another mechanism to incentivise investing in businesses in the first place?

Not going to speak to the article but want to layout that in 1997 when I was a waiter at Chili’s I made $2.50 an hour base wage, but with tips nearly always cleared $24/h. In 1999 I was a waiter for an upscale steakhouse in the city of Chicago and on average made about $40/h. Several of the waiters there were career waiters and had families. Many career waiters worked very hard to get jobs at higher and higher end restaurants and could clear 100K on the year back in 1999.

The Windows SmartScreen can be a real pain when you release frequent updates.

Do you know of any off-the-shelf downloader that would handle the download and install of the versioned app, or is it a 'build your own' thing?
It's both. Success requires hard work and lot of luck. Mere hard work is not enough -- there are millions of hard-working people living paycheck to paycheck.

Successful people are proud of their hard work, and usually they are right. But the smart ones among them notice that they worked equally hard at different projects A, B, C, and while project A was a success, projects B and C have failed, for reasons unrelated to how hard they worked, often pure luck. So they can imagine an equally hard-working person who just got unlucky with all their projects.

It's as if in return for your hard work you got lottery tickets. No hard work, no tickets, no money. But sometimes it's also lot of hard work, many tickets, and still no money.

Maybe the arrogant successful people are those who succeeded at their first project, so they believe the relation between hard work and success is automatic? Or maybe people who had enough of safety net, so they knew they can keep trying over and over again until they succeed?
I’ve been working on a project converting my piano curriculum into a 42 week YouTube series (currently on week 34, almost there!) and one of the first challenges I ran into, other than sucking a video production, was what to do about teaching repertoire so as not to run into copyright claims.

I decided to compose my own material each week and it has turned out to be the best thing about producing the series. At first the idea of writing a new intermediate level piece each week seemed daunting but it’s actually been quite liberating. Also when I’m finished with the series I’ll be able to publish the collection as my own book of repertoire.

If you’ve been teaching for a while (like 10 years) I would highly recommend going beyond the safety net of pre published teaching repertoire and try making some yourself. Find the deeper connection to what you teach about music by encoding into, well, music! New music, that reflects your unique relationship with the craft.

I forgot! Reducing caffeine from coffee and using tea instead when I feel stress is increasing or when I didnt sleep well (thats the worst time to drink coffee for me as it starts a tiredness and anxiety circle that may last a few days). This reduced my anxiety a lot. And I also noticed that coffee increase my procrastination. Not sure why but I would likely put that on increased anxiety.

The trouble is, what made a senior group of people unhappy will also make a less senior group of people unhappy as they become more senior. Just like it’s good to be improving yourself personally, even though it takes a bit of effort and you can’t please everyone, so too should companies be trying to improve themselves. This is because there are such things as both a high-functioning company and a low-functioning company, and the difference isn’t that one wants to build product more than the other.
Usually it depends on what you need to run. Running some tests on an interpreted language should be done in a few minutes. With a compiled language it takes longer, maybe half an hour. If you have a compiled language that's slow to compile with additional checks, because the language is more footgun than anything (yes, C++) then you might want a standard build, build with various sanitizers, and do some static analysis, and you end up with hours of time spent on building and analysis.

It really depends on what you're trying to achieve and how big the project is.

> In a 1930 article in Scientific American, Donald A. Laird, the director of the Colgate Psychology Laboratory, pronounced the “poor emotional adjustment of the individual” the “most treacherous and insidious source” of worker fatigue. Mary T., a thirty-five-year-old sales clerk at Macy’s, represented a “typical case.” Because she had been complaining of tiredness for six years, her employers had given her repeated leaves with pay. Finally, the store psychiatrist easily found “emotional causes for her chronic fatigue state.” She had few friends, was very jealous of her married sister, and had poor relationships with her parents, with whom she still lived. After explaining that she had been “seeking pity and sympathy through appearing tired,” the psychiatrist “planned a scheme of emotional reeducation for her.” With that help, her mental health improved and “her chronic fatigue disappeared.”

This is a fascinating topic. I have felt like programming can be psychologically overwhelming. You doubt your choices, you worry if there’s bugs or if it will scale, and if there’s a security exploit you’ve introduced or could possibly lose customer data or bring down the service for millions of users. All that can be emotionally exhausting. A ‘no blame’ culture might actually create a better work environment than shorter hours.
Exactly this. I'm a type 1 diabetic, and the explanation that this was happening due to "burning out all the glucose in my brain" is bogus. It's not how it works at all, and it's not even close to how it feels.

> Hope "Right to repair" keeps its momentum

As someone who believes in running things until they simply aren't worth fixing any more, I wholeheartedly agree. I have a riding snowblower built in 1983, a riding lawnmower built in 2005, most of the computers I've owned in the last 10 years have been bought used (generally off-lease from large corps), we haven't bought a new car since 2005, etc., etc.

I'm a huge believer in buying used stuff and I think the rush to upgrade to the latest phone, etc., "just cuz" is a tragedy. Learning how to open up old radios and appliances and repair them was a strong push in me wanting to become an engineer.

Now, I'll admit that a large part of the reason I repair things is to save money (and the pride in getting them running again), but I really don't think the individual motivations matter. What matters is that we're able to do this if we need or want to and not hampered by arbitrary restrictions.
I highly recommend the following stack:

JVM Language: Java 11+

Webserver: https://javalin.io/

Templating: https://j2html.com/

Enhanced html attributes: https://htmx.org/

Database helper: http://jdbi.org/

Database: Sqlite or Postgres depending on the expected scale.

The startup time is very fast. I usually see times under a second, which makes iterative changes significantly less painful than something like Spring.

Also setup is ridiculously simple, just throw those libraries in a pom file and use a CDN for htmx. No front end build tools needed since htmx removes the need for most if not all of your javascript.

The whole setup feels kind of old school, but man it makes developing CRUD apps dead simple again.

Lastly, project onboarding is as simple as having someone download intelij and pulling the project. The built in maven and jdk to intelij is all they need. That is as long as you don't need them to run their own Dev database instance, but that's not the end of the world if you utilize docker.

Even if you decide on something else take a look at the above libraries, they're all pretty fantastic.

I've used version control history to verify that a mysterious bug was not caused by any changes in the codebase. Instead, we were set up to automatically incorporate minor version changes in dependencies, one of which improperly had a breaking change.

This class of bug is impossible to find by following the logic of the code because it's not in the code.

The whole point of a minimum wage increase is that it will increase all restaurants' wage costs to the same degree, at the same time. Meaning that going "down the street", potential diner's will find that all restaurants' prices have increased equally. So the business threat isn't that American consumers will abandon "Dale's" in particular for some other restaurant. It's that they will choose to eat at home instead of eating at a restaurant, or that they will order less food when they do go to one.
China is super special. Stay out of that region unless you have a special China reason to go in there.

It’s really down to goals... you should have something that triggers based on open pull requests and does a sanity check and ideally deployed to a test environment... that should be “quick” to give feedback in addition to reviews...

Then in the main build that hopefully is deploying to a qa environment that can do more testing, bundle artifacts for whatever dependencies need them, all that kind of stuff...

That’s how ours is set up... we use Jenkins with parallel parts where possible (like build the ui while tests that hit the db are run) it’s a process that takes time to get right and time to optimize...

We’re at about 5 mins for the quick part and 8 or so for the slower part

Both of those will probably get worse as we are planning to include full ui testing on the deployed environment too
If you are an international company you have to discuss these things. You literally have to discuss them for legal risk reasons, but us for cultural reasons. For instance, if you are a US company do you honor Crimea as a Russian territory... A lot of companies avoid working with the region altogether because of their acknowledgement of politics.

Another example is if you are a US company do you work with China knowing you will have to share your Chinese users data with the Chinese government. These are political and moral conversations that are decisions that should align with the companies values thus they HAVE to be discussed.

It's delusional to think you can avoid personal politics completely in a business. Basecamp is picking and choosing what is appropriate, and that's really the issue. It's an emotional response from their employees based on inconsistent behavior of management.
