> But directly copying art and then modifying it is still copying copyrighted material.

As my uncle comment suggests ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27426639 ) it's not clear cut. Just because you hit ctrl-c then ctrl-v on an asset doesn't mean what you're doing is automatically copyright infringement, it might be fair use assuming you changed something to a point where it's a derivative work based on the original work.

> the music rights-holders (not the anime rights-holders, interestingly...) will then claim all the monetization on those videos.

This is a Content ID Claim, and it's a system YouTube themselves made up so that companies can automatically start garnishing monetization earnings on videos that use their work in any capacity without having to do DMCAs themselves. In no way is this tied to copyright or fair use.
It's their job to _not_ act out.
Another part of the 2018 law was supposed to help by directing the SBA to facilitate coordination among its nationwide network of Small Business Development Centers to promote employee ownership opportunities, getting companies loan-ready and educating bankers on the process. But SBA headquarters has taken no steps to do so, forcing motivated staffers within some SBDCs to step up on their own.

how can a law be passed and then be ignored like that?
Apple: What if we took the “line of death” and killed it
Congrats on the launch! This is really cool. We created Lowdefy [0] to build similar apps but with a "no-gui" approach. I have great respect for how much work this is. Even the website looks great!

“Apple: What if we took the line of death and killed it.”
CEOs get very invested in their projects. It's pretty much expected. It's their entire life. Many of them have invested everything into their companies, and are terrified of failures (there's an awful lot of FAIL out there).

Different Principals have different ways of evaluating threats, and reacting to them. At first glance, this seems like an awful mistake, on the part of the Replit people (Can you say "own goal"? I knew you could!).

Maybe there's more to the tale than appears here, but it does seem fairly straightforward; assuming that the emails shared tell the whole story.

I hope that everyone finds a way past this, and comes out OK.

One thing that I will say, is that the OP seems to be pretty sharp. He's young, and maybe he reacted more quickly and naively than a cynical old bastard like Yours Truly would, but he has done a pretty cool job on his project. It might not be "ship-ready," but it sounds like a great demonstration of his capabilities.

Also, as Elon Musk shows, CEOs can cause tremendous damage, if they go off-script. Being a CEO of a public/funded company is a fairly awesome Responsibility. It needs to be taken seriously.

I'd say that this very thread shows the damage that can be done to the company. Having this pinned at #1 on HN for all this time is devastating. It's actually kind of horrifying. Like watching a slow-motion train wreck. A lot of Replit employees and VCs are going to take it in the shorts from this. He's probably got some 'splainin' to do...

I can't remember the company, but there's a famous object lesson of a UK CEO that destroyed his life's work and corporation, by mentioning an upcoming product too early in a BBC interview.

very plausible explanation, so be patient until the corrections and administration is done.
Yeah to me that description sounds like "static type checking".

"First-class types" on the other hand means that types are expressions that can be manipulated at runtime, or by compile-time metaprogramming stage. I think Julia is very much like this: types are very complex expressions and they're expressed with the same machinery as arithmetic expressions (femtolisp).

I don't think there's anything that would preclude the us government from selling bitcoin treasury bonds (accepting bitcoin with the promise to pay more back at a later date, basically). Even if the block chain didn't support it, the contract (bond) can still exist off-chain.

If it took off, and non technical people became more engaged in the space, I really don't see a reason to assume that traditional banks wouldn't accept bitcoin deposits and offer off-chain loans (re-creating the fractional reserve system we have today as well). Unless there was some law preventing it.
uf, this page definitly says that I'm not the target audience anymore.
the 2019 16" model was probably my last one (the build quality, etc. is so much worse), besides that i loved the 2013 15" late model.
Not the guy you asked, but for my stuff I’ve just been using icloud-pd and rclone.

I’m really only worried about my photos. Basically all of the photos and videos of my kid only exist on my phone and on iCloud, and even if I trusted Apple to not shut down my account, I’m one account compromise or dummy mistake away from a “delete” being synced and removing that content from all my devices forever.

I just have a script that runs nightly that runs icloud-pd to download all new photos and videos at full quality to the server in my basement. So that gets me a local copy totally disconnected from iCloud. From there, I have rclone encrypt and push up changes to Backblaze B2. Ends up costing me like $1.50/mo.

If you do this, make sure you put some monitoring in place. The 2FA on my Apple account tends to expire every few months and I need to go reauthenticate it.

Not necessarily.

Often the meat of these agreements is the agreed behavior changes, not the fine. (It's very annoying that the articles often focus on the fines, rather than the rest of the agreement.)

Setting the fines at a level that doesn't cause endless appeals gets the behavior changes sooner, and may be more net efficient.
FaceTime: Owned by a notoriously secretive and litigous company using closed source and unverifiable claims

I'm not saying that Apple is somehow abusing your privacy in ways you don't know, but I am saying you don't really know one way or the other and largely cannot verify that their software is doing what they claim it does

I think those two tools together would enable the US government to take on increasing debt loads in bitcoin, and to inflate the currency pool in one of the ways it's able to do with the dollar (the reserve ratio). So I'm sure they'll figure it out.
The only problem here is that the author perceives a need to apologize, or to even feel regret. If the only compensation for starting and maintaining an open source project is the work itself or personal use of the product, then you are your only customer. The moment it stops being fun or worth the effort, you have every right to just stop without feeling a tiny bit of guilt or remorse.

You have a bug they want to fix or a feature they want to add and the author/maintainer is not doing it fast enough? Fork away! Submit a pull request! Oh, you don't have the skills/time to do that? Wow, that's too bad. Offer to pay the author! Post a message to the project list or bug reporting tool offering to pay someone to do it for you. Oh, you want it for free? Immediately? You built critical infrastructure around a tool you don't understand and don't have the skills or resources to maintain? You're a parasite, and can be safely muted and ignored.

This is the important bit: If you're afraid the person maintaining your key infrastructure for free might suddenly stop doing that, just take some time to send them a nice note thanking them. Periodically getting one of those in your inbox is remarkably effective in maintaining passion for a project. Find a way to give them a gift. Do they have Venmo/Patreon/Amazon wish list? Use it. Are you a developer or do you employ some? Fix a bug. Say nice things about them in social media. Offer to help pay for the resources to host the project. Send them an effing Starbuck's card with your sincere thanks.

> And I've noticed people say "immigrant" when they mean "illegal alien".

Being illegal is what makes them pay taxes without using services. It's like a tourism economy but more exploitative - but you're the exploiter here so you're winning.

> It's also called increased competition for housing and jobs, by someone who is in the country illegally, aka "illegal competition".

Adding people to an economy does not take your job or even really compete for it, because immigrants are customers. That is the lump of labor fallacy.

It can also add housing because they're usually people who are better at construction labor than you are.

The Journey Behind Liza Lou’s Behemoth Beaded Kitchen
I had a similar issue with my iCloud account. I wasn’t locked out- but I had a “phantom” iOS device backup file that was taking up several GB worth of iCloud Drive space, but could not be accessed or deleted. This was about five years ago now.

If there’s one thing I hate about Apple, it’s dealing with their support. So I call in, and convince three levels of tech support that, no, I’m not a total moron and I’ve tried deleting the errant file through a variety of different methods on my laptop, iPad, iPhone, etc.

Finally they agree and I get stuck into a queue for an engineer to look at the issue. At this point it actually gets good- honest explanations (without details obviously) about what happened and what they need to do to fix it. Regardless, it took over two months from start to finish for the issue to be fixed.

I did push them for some sort of compensation since I had to upgrade my iCloud storage plan as a result of this file taking up a significant amount of my storage quota. They gave me $50 to spend in the Apple store on accessories. I felt that was fair.

I've seen this opinion quite a lot recently, and I don't really understand - why do you want the iPad to be a Mac?

For me the iPad Pro is a great creative device that is surprisingly capable in a variety of other ways. I use mine for programming with ease but my workflow of using Vim over mosh/tmux in blink.sh supports that. If I was looking for a portable programming machine I'd just buy a MBA I guess.

I think the iPad Pro is great at what it does. It's an excellent portable creative device that can also be used casually. Not everything needs to be targeted towards every use-case.
> $2000 on an Apple gift card I wanted to spend on a top spec M1 iPad Pro to watch TV shows at home and take with me on travels if I need to debug issues in production or come up with a quick fix

You want to spend $2000 to watch TV at home not on a TV? How would both of these desires not be significantly better satisfied by an M1 Air?

> A laptop is too much

Too much what? The Air costs _less_ than the 13" iPad Pro.
After 6 years of working on two open source projects full time (16k and 10k GitHub stars) I decided to close off issues and discussions. GitHub has a nice checkbox you can untick to remove that tab and I did it. It's a thankless job, one that's pretty stressful and it's unclear what you gain from letting people berate or complain at you about their problems. I think I mostly built these tools for myself anyway so it felt like the right time.

You are correct, "it" could refer to a feature in the first instance in that sentence, but probably not the second instance (since we don't usually talk about making a feature open source.)

The most coherent interpretation of that sentence is that "it" refers to code in both instances. However, the intent of a sentence is not always the same as it's most coherent interpretation and "it" misuse is a frequent cause of unintentional ambiguity. (That's why I qualified my statement with the "implication seems to be" language.)
I interviewed for a job at repl.it a while ago. At the very beginning of the interview process I wanted to make sure that he would be ok with my rate (120k) and that we're on the same page, because coding interviews can be time consuming. After the interview process, he offered a contract-to-hire and low-balled at less than half of what we discussed at the start of the interview process, and then retracted the offer entirely 2 weeks later after negotiating and what I thought was part of onboarding...

I did well in all of the interviews, but I had a bad experience at the final interview where I had trouble setting up the React/Typescript/Parcel tooling for the coding project, taking up a very significant chunk of the allotted time. Usually parcel doesn't give me grief and a breeze to set up, but I guess I had bad luck that day. I noted that I should prep the tooling for the stack before any timed interviews in the future.

I finished everything except that part, but I had started to set up the final step with the algorithm set up for it and discussed how to do it in the follow up discussion. It seemed like were impressed by my knowledge and still seemed interested in me, so I thought there was a shot.

So here's the abbreviated email chain:

Amjad: "[...] we can't move forward with a fulltime offer at this time. However, what do you think about doing a 2-week contract project that if it goes well we'd extend a fulltime offer?

If this sounds good to you, we'd talk about the terms of the fulltime offer before moving forward with the contract project so that you have an idea of the potential compensation for a full-time position."

Me: "Yeah I'd definitely be interested in the contract-to-potential full-time offer. [...]"

...then a whole 2 weeks go by discussing over email with him on salary negotiation, W2, benefits, etc. The 2 week contract offer would be at the rate we agreed on for salary, and if it went well then I'd go on to full-time. I thought it was a done deal and he was just prepping the contract, but then a whole week goes by without hearing from him, so I follow up with him.

He replied:

Amjad: "So sorry for the delay, but we decided to go with someone else for the role. Let's stay in touch for future opportunities."

Me: "I don't understand, we agreed on an offer two weeks ago. Is there any feedback you can give me if it's something on my end?"

Amjad: "We didn't agree on an offer [...] so I suggested doing a contract as a way of an extended interview. And then we went back and forth and the details, meanwhile we continued to interview and found someone who's local and a better fit for the role. Sorry, this didn't go differently."

Me: "[...] The way I interpreted it is that you've finished interviewing for the role and wanted to extend this trial-to-hire period, or a hire with a probation period, and if it didn't work out you'd extend the offer to your second pick. You didn't mention anything about an extended interview. [...]"

Amjad: "I thought explaining where you didn't do well in the interview and saying "therefore we can't extend an offer" would be clear."

It felt pretty shitty at the time...

"Sharing stuff you want to share with other people is for suckers"

Ok man. I mean, I'm quite capitalist myself but I draw the line before "don't share things with everyone because sharing free things like that is for suckers/commies/whatever".

If you don't like doing open source, don't do open source. There was never a requirement for you to do open source.

Doing open source doesn't mean tending to other people's feature request, or even looking at pull requests. It's just releasing code under a certain list of licenses. Which you can do, if you want to, or don't. If you want to discriminate between your users, you do you, that's not open source but unless you run afoul of the law you can go and do that.
But not iMessage, so I still can't send a simple text message from a decent app from my Win 10 computer.
New iCloud feature: personalizing an iCloud Mail address with a custom domain
What others have said. From my experience it's relatively simple, feature limited and dead simple to use on screen/camera containing ios/macos devices. The web version won't have the same get the app nag/confusion as zoom/whatsapp/meet, at least temporarily....
This is getting stupid. Newest iPad Pros with M1 obviously have the capability to do so much more, yet the OS holds it back. Are Federighi and Temus still on speaking terms?

Instead of proper multitasking, virtualization and external monitor support, we just gain new and iPad-only gestures to learn and memorize. The iPads, especially iPad Pros, have become an increasingly complicated method of computing. I thought their emphasis was on making computing more accessible/approachable to everyone.
In an alternate universe every app takes on a personality with their own name, and we treat installing apps like hiring people to be part of our personal life's team. Kind of a cool idea but you'd need to own the entire ecosystem for it to work. Then you could associate actions (looking up a contact) with people (Sam) and ask Sam through voice interface to do the action or something.

Sorry, I was unclear.

While I do definitely mistrust US propaganda on North Korea, I don't doubt at all that it's a terrible place to live in every possible way, I have read several books by defectors (and visited numerous communist and post-communist countries).

My point was more that the reason we have heard about it is mostly because that suits the Western agenda. Otherwise very few would have any idea about what is going on there. Just like few Americans or even Europeans know much about Transdniestria, a present day communist state in Europe. Or Bhutan, a seemingly very happy little country.

Even in the days of Wikipedia and internet news, most people don't know much more about the world than what is convenient for Western media to tell us.

All this to say that it's inconceivable that people outside Germany could be pretty ignorant about what was going on in the late 30s.
