Have you ever tried to report fraud to authorities? Even if you show overwhelming evidence, details of perpetrator, chances are LE will laugh you out and say it is a civil matter.
There is a "the beaver dam as seen from space" pic on the page, I had to click right twice to see it.

That's not what happened, nor is it why people were upset by the founders' actions.
> The level of air pollution is relatively the same now as it was last year for the first wave though.

No, they are not. See table 1 of https://www.orfonline.org/research/air-pollution-delhi-filli... - it hit a low point in October, but was much better during lockdown and relatively better post-lockdown although trending towards worse levels.

Huh, I did not know that!
This sort of thing happens way too often on Youtube, and it's far worse than merely violating copyright; here artists get denied ownership of their own expression of public domain music. Unlike mere copyright violation, this is actual copyright theft that Youtube is enabling here.

It should be punished harder than merely copying someone else's work usually is, but instead this sort of direct theft seems to be allowed by governments and copyright institutes.
"but employees serve the leadership, not the other way around. "

Leadership is all about serving the people you're shepherding. There is a responsibility and a stewardship that comes with wearing the crown, and it's not always for everyone. =)
The post I was replying to seemed to be saying that invoking multiple services from the client is "a sign of how ludicrous front end development has gotten."

> Why do you need to run that on the client?

Because it's a good idea (less wasteful) to do that on the client. Rather than wasting bandwidth rerouting it via my own server.
Great idea. What are the sachets made of though? Lined with plastic and destined to be burned on cooking fires and ditches along with all the other single use, single serving P&G product plastic packaging formats targeted at the developing world I'd wager.
The problem is that Youtube is pretending that their shoddy sonic fingerprinting system works and is fine with 3rd parties using their dumb system to defraud their users
Beautiful article. If at all, mechanical engineering was this beautiful.
What garbage. There is an entire genre of sound celebrating this anagram of "ginger".

It's very easy to find jokes material without making fun of other people.

You just have to have that mindset. Make fun of yourself instead of others, for instance.
That sentence is not there in the link. And it even does not say covid has ended. Let me paste a text from the article to say bad badly the op changed the meaning

He sad " We need to follow 3 steps: Keep politics out of the COVID-19 vaccination drive, Trust the science behind COVID-19 Vaccines, and ensure our near & dear ones get vaccinated on time."
> I think it is the consequences of closing such a discussion that he leaves unaddressed. Does the company still value your opinion? Do you matter?

It seems he clearly proved that those opinions matter, if he recognized the mistake, recognized the validity of some of the points made, and apologised.

What I've observed in this and other well known instances of "social justice" protests (I hope it's the best neutral term to describe them) is that there seems to be no endgame accepted by the protesters. No apologies are ever accepted without an explicit or implicit transfer of power to them. An example of an explicit transfer of power is setting up some commission or bureaucratic structure where the protesters or people they trust will be enrolled; and resignations represent an implicit transfer of power (the recognized power to make someone lose their job, which is not a small one).

Compare this with normal workplace dynamics. You can complain inside your workplace for many work-related reasons (workload, bad management, pay, etc.). Your complaints can be openly discussed, legitimately rejected, or acted upon. But in any case a change in the hierarchy or in the company structure is not something you expect. It can happen (very rarely) or not, and you might be satisfied with the responses or the changes or not, and if you don't like the answers after a while you might decide to move somewhere else. You don't consider unacceptable that the company doesn't see or address your point of view. At some point the discussion ends and that's it. This is not what happens on social justice complaints, and I think it's toxic (in the workplace, but in general everywhere).

Maybe if they didn't have to chase illegal drugs, they would only be semi-broken, like the rest of us?

And at the very least there wouldn't be space for gangs, the quality on the heroin would be higher and it would be possible to ensure the drug was only take at certain locations, maybe even create an opt-out or opt-in model where you needed to wait a few weeks from the time you have requested access until you get your heroin card?

This neck issue is interesting to me.

Someone close to me, a former Microsoft developer, complained about neck issues for years. Doc said it was probably posture and stress, and this person never went to a specialist.

One day, after about a decade of untreated neck pain, this person collapsed at their desk and went into a coma.
They eventually recovered, sort of, but what they describe is exactly how you feel and Mr. Glucose Depletion in TFA. Pop sound in the brain. Dizziness. Loss of speech and motor control.

The official diagnosis was stroke. The former Microsoft engineer had some kind of collapsed/pinched neck artery and they had a stroke. They are alive and well today, but completely incapable of coding for the rest of their life.

A nearly identical but more severe story as yours and the the author’s.
Yes, the ADL pyramid is a modern Godwin’s law. You only bring it out to state that “making fun of someone is the foundation of genocide”.

How come this video is not interrupted by ads?! Something is fishy here.
Good for her, it's the sustained highly creative output of skilled people that makes Youtube interesting beyond music piracy and memes. They have the power to collectively do the same to any other platform and shouldn't tolerate abuse like this.
A friend went to a presentation about covid.

There they said that lead in the air ( eg. Car heavy cities) had a direct consequences on covid particles that get more and deeper into your body.

So cases there would be more severe.

( It's 6 months ago that i heared it and didn't hear any research about it. It does make sense when India has it worse)
Delhi weather is also extremely hot right now, with highs of over 40degC, and lows of at least 30degC, six out of seven days a week. While it's a dry heat, heat stroke might still be a factor in the higher death rates.
I always thought it’s more of a donut (call it a torus if you want to sound smart) than a horseshoe.
And yet, despite it being illegal you apparently know heroin users.

So what exactly is criminalizing it accomplishing?

I agree that people shouldn’t use heroin. But obviously prohibition is not working.

Just to throw all the cards on the table, I'm by no means what anyone these days would describe as "libertarian". I don't think drugs should be legal for the sake of everything being legal, I think they should be legal because making them illegal doesn't accomplish the singular goal of stopping people from using them, and creates a lot of other deleterious effects.
This kind of absurd copyright trouble is all over the place in the world of music education. I advised my boss to choose a video hosting platform between:

- self hosting (PeerTube)

at the end of the day there is always an alternative to ios though: the other OS that controls 87% of the market.

https://www.statista.com/statistics/272307/market-share-fore...

ios isn't a monopoly, there is always the other option. The option that has six times the marketshare.

again, this is literally about shutting down any possibility of a company ever offering a "walled garden" model. It's not that apple is dominant in the market - they're not. You have many many alternatives to using their devices, they're about an eighth of the market. But even that eighth cannot be allowed to exist, that business model has to be shut down permanently.
I think locks are about as weak as software security, relatively speaking. The difference is that if an organized gang of criminals physically broke down the doors to a corporation and stole truckloads of computers, the law enforcement response would be significant. (And we mostly wouldn't be sitting around blaming the corporation for not hiring armed guards.)
If you go by the numbers in the post I responded to, this isn't true, at least not where I live. The $1400 figure is pretty much exactly what I pay in rent, and I have no problems getting to work with public transport for $100/month.

To be fair, I live in Europe, but this is why I asked the question "is it really that bad?", to which the answer appears to be yes.

In the UK you have a right to have automated decisions on e.g. loan applications reviewed by a human. Broadening a right like that would certainly be worth considering.
It's still related to copyright law.

If the law promotes, say by making it a default, that one side can easily benefit from a certain behaviour, then people, companies will assume that as the behaviour to favour. And then these are the consequences: that going around claiming rights on whatever you feel like is not only not punished by Youtube but carelessly accepted. Because it's just easier, less effort.
With law enforcement at least you get to talk to people. With YouTube/Google all your complaints go straight to /dev/null
The 2015 album is on Spotify too:

Is there something i'm missing ?
This is all a far cry from grandparent's "it should be illegal to operate on a percentage-of-gross-revenue business model, only fixed prices". Why do you think it should be legal for clients to sue because they don't like the pricing model?

Apple only controls 13% of the smartphone market. They're not a monopoly here. They're in fact the minority player in the market, significantly so. Monopoly rules only come into play when a monopoly actually exists, and a business exploits that monopoly to their competitive advantage.

Is 13% a monopoly power?
Yes, it expect it will have a near monopoly in the year desktop Linux goes mainstream…
The coverage reports are generated by the normal build process and then uploaded along with an access token used to verify your access to the repository.

If the GitHub action is used for this upload, this is a special token GitHub creates that's only valid for the duration of the build, and files uploaded are limited to that specified for the action.

In light of recent events I can totally understand when there's a certain level of discomfort running an action that uploads data, but that's also why the upload can be done either via the GitHub action, running a Docker image, or manually (there's a bit about this in the documentation).

I think the most important thing we've learned, and this is maybe not just limited to coverage uploaders, is that build steps should be isolated with only the information they need. Eg. there's no need to do the upload in an environment where credentials and source code is available.
Probably because it would cost them time and effort, but they have no incentive to do so. Why would they? At most, when cases such as this come to the public's attention, all that YouTube suffers is inconsequential reputational damage. This is easily and cheaply mitigated in PR terms if it gets bad enough by just handling the incident with a quick "Oops, sorry, our bad" and reinstating the removed material.

Meanwhile, the uncountable cases of illegitimate copyright takedowns which never make the news don't matter. What are the victims going to do about it? Sue? Use a YouTube competitor?
Yeah, I think they should mark recordings where the melody is public domain and review these cases manually.
Think of the grandma is the Apple fanboys defense of why shit should be locked and approved by Apple.

You are mentioning location APIs and I shown you that is not different then camera APIs and then you still show me the bluttoh/usb stuff. https://www.safari-is-the-new-ie.com

You are trying to defend something I did not ask you about, I don't care is f Safari will never implement JavaScript at all, or if they decide grandma can't be trusted with camera permissions, as long you can install a better browser that gives you access to better APIs.

I also mention for APIs that could let you make a competitive streaming app based in the browser, this is not about USB,bluetooth, VR or other APIs, so try fucking focusing on why you can't have a good music playuer in the browser? Is it impossible by the laws of nature to create such an API? or are the Apple devs incapable of implementing such an API in a safe way? or Apple users too stupid to give permissions , or maybe Apple wants money and a streaming service that is browser based means no tax ?
The distinction is a bit misguided anyway because of course all stress and and emotional problems also happen inside the body and thus have a physiological basis.
Maybe it depends how long you starve for?

As long as you have the fat reserves, it's possible to fast for weeks with nothing more than water. As long as you have a functioning liver, your body uses glycogenesis to create enough glucose for your brain to function.
Or simply a lot more young people are exposed.
Sure, with respect to the language used in the original post, modal logic can be used as a formal basis for how we derive meaning from phrases like 'must' and 'never'. This has a lot of overlap with the field of deontology, which is a subset of moral philosophy which looks more closely at moral dutys and obligations. There are quite a few different theorys worth exploring in moral philosophy beyond just the deontological one, so I'd recommend starting with classical perspectives like that of Kant and making your own way from there.
It astounds me that you think people are entirely motivated by money and that social policy will have no bearing on those who have the best career prospects.

Companies and their cultures are not equivalent. Many of those people will have joined Basecamp because of the culture and the mission. They will have joined for reasons other than money. Many of them could have got jobs at FAANGs but didn't because they believed this culture was a better fit for them.

You have no data on why people left, you only have guesses you're trying to turn into data.

Many of the replies to your comment are equally of the hand wavey "see, social policy isn't the thing here" type, when social policy is absolutely 100% the thing here.

I've never seen such a disappointing thread on HN as this one.
I agree. On top of that you have bands from 50 years ago suing each other because two riffs sound vaguely alike, its ridiculous.
Fair enough. I guess it really is that bad in the US.
Only if you're a big enough company and/or have to the right contacts. Do you think regular people could get the police to raid a data centre or something on grounds of copyright infringement?
It’s not like saying “white people bad” carries any kind of risk, anywhere at this point. It’s not like there’s much meaningful difference between mainstream and left/lib alt-media. Twitter has collapsed the boundaries. What do those numbers tell you?
> here artists get denied ownership of their own expression of public domain music

Hell why stop there, music artists get their own original music stolen by Youtube who then proceeds to hand it to someone else, for anyone interested in a popular example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z4AeoAWGJBw
No. Mandating real people won't help. I've dealt with real support people who are exactly as useless as the website's FAQ. They're powerless to make any special exceptions to the predefined process or even to escalate to someone who can.

As an example, I can't use my main email address for an Apple ID account because apparently somebody else set it as their backup email and I may have carelessly clicked the accept link when I got the confirmation. I talked to a human Apple support person and his higher level colleague and was told that's probably what happened but they can't know for sure and even if they did, they can't fix it. The end. Bye.
As a big word nerd I'm curious about the name "tickertape display" as it seems to be a blending of two things.

Historically, "ticker tape" is what came out of telegraph printers. These printers were later replaced by "ticker displays" that were notable for not using paper tape.

Later still, when added to TV broadcasts (the text on many news channels running along the bottom of the screen) they are called simply "tickers."

I guess the long view from our present time has blurred these names together in popular usage?
There was also a dodgy "How to write your own adventure game" ala zork, which i remember fondly. It covered the basics but it was beyond me at the time. I definitely recall those books used to gloss over a lot of details, so it was frustrating. So close, but so far.

Why are you assuming many were considering changing jobs at a company that has long tenure and believed to have a great culture?

If you read "Shape Up", you will realise there is a _lot_ of slack at Basecamp (I know, I've implemented it myself in one company), and a lot of space to think things through. Tons of autonomy.

6 months pay is not a good bargain for a great job.

It's a superb bargain for a job that has suddenly become very uncomfortable.

In the Netherlands, they still sell extra thin "jew cakes" (jodenkoek) at the grocery store. When my kids had to bring in ethnic food from Israel, my wife thought those would be a good idea. I begged her to just bring hummus instead, even though it wouldn't be as popular.

Not sure if "jew cakes" are racist but they sure aren't Israeli!

I sympathise with her. I had a copyright claim on one of my YouTube videos (I’m totally small potatoes, handful of vids with dozens of views).

I made a video of myself playing my own unique interpretation of The Safety Dance by Men Without Hats on piano.
https://youtu.be/ZNfMZ6g9YWo

I got a copyright violation notice shortly after posting it, by some random Latin American music company. It wasn’t clear if it was legit or not, it could have been some holding company of song rights or some failure of the AI.

I disputed the claim, saying I used no recorded material, it was entirely my own styling on the song including ragtime and stride piano influences.

Frankly I’m not even sure how copyright works on covers, particularly if style is quite different.

The company never responded in the 30 day period so the copyright claim was removed.

My channel is so small that I probably would have just removed the video. I’m not even close to the levels that are required for monetisation (1000 subscribers and 4000 cumulative view hours).

But it was a bit surprising how quickly it was claimed that I violated someone’s copyright.
