I had an account I used for work (documentation, local API keys, etc) with a fake name that was also deleted.

I replaced that account with one using my actual name and a couple of friends, a phone number, etc, and I haven't had issues so far (like two years). I log into it maybe once every three months or so.
I would love to experience this but I'm completely unwilling to buy-in because of the "you must have a Facebook account".

I just want a piece of hardware that I can use.

Is there any comparable (functionality) product that I buy that doesn't have the onerous third-party account requirement? I expect that I'll have to spend more not to be "monetized" but I can live that that (grudgingly).

The basis is that I'm familiar with norms shared in a large part of the world, especially her audiences.

in general, the term 'adult' is used (in the western world, more specifically the US) to refer to pornographic content. That's what youtube means, it's what advertisers mean, etc, which all matter here because that's what demonetization is about (advertisers avoiding a channel due to its content).

Really, the term youtube uses here is 'explicit content'. The content on her channel is not explicit.

Facebook Wanted NSO Spyware to Monitor Users, NSO CEO Claims (2020)
"Union awareness and avoidance" does not sound like representing corporations against unions. Rather it sounds like representing corporations against their own workforce to "avoid" their forming of a union. I.e. union busting.
It’s understandable and defensible to not use it because of Facebook, but I gotta say that Quest (especially Quest 2) is a qualitatively different and better experience than a lot of PCVR.

> The federal government has broad emergency powers to prevent the spread of infectious diseases

The supreme court said the CDC exceeded their statutory authority [0]:

> As he often does, Kavanaugh wrote to explain why he voted to allow the moratorium to remain in place. On the one hand, he said he agreed with the District Court that the CDC exceeded its statutory authority by issuing a nationwide moratorium.

> But, he said, because the CDC has said it will end the moratorium in a few weeks he would allow it to remain in place. He said the extra weeks will "allow for additional and more orderly distribution of the congressionally appropriated rental assistance funds."

> Kavanaugh made clear however, that if the government were to extend the moratorium past July 31, it would need "specific congressional authorization."

So it sounds like the eviction moratorium was illegal.

> 3) Facebook’s response is the “Fake News” label, when while the source has its faults it is not Fake or News, it’s just having meaning attributed to it that’s not there

I would also be unsurprised to learn that this is something like an original conspiracy post being correctly flagged as fake news and subsequent posts with the same URLs either being auto-tagged or suggested as the same to a reviewer who is almost certainly overworked and underpaid.

All of the big tech companies like to rely on automation to avoid hiring more people and it's really easy to imagine this repurposing infrastructure which was originally built to quickly block things like spam or malware links being shared where the presence of a particular URL does in fact mean the post is highly similar.

Yeah, the timing of HD Radio coincided with the rise of smartphones/iPods/nascent streaming, so it didn’t really take off in the US (and there was never a huge reason to b/c the FCC didn’t shut off analog radio waves), but I do agree that if they cut off analog radio signal (or more accurately, if more stations moved to a pure digital format), some subset of users would complain (tho less as you said, thanks to phones), but that’s sort of my point: this obsolescence acceptance thing isn’t new, it’s how we’ve treated the changing nature of tech for decades. Yes, there might be fewer loud neckbeards who are irate online about it, but the fantasy that we used to all care a lot more about the longevity of devices and tech just isn’t true.
What exactly is the downside
Does truly democratic society need identity card and databases? Do people need to be tracked since their birth as if they were someone's property?

Also, such leaks can be dangerous. If someone is hiding from authoritarian government then the stolen data can be used to track and assasinate them.
No, this is the result of Google/YT bending over backwards to please the big content creators in order to get their business.

DMCA merely requires a timely takedown in response to an active report of infringement. And if the creator counter-claims and says "nope, I'm not infringing", the DMCA instructs the hosting service to put the content back up and guarantees the hosting service will not be liable if a court later finds the content infringing.

Google does not need to make any kind of judgment here; they can just say "hey DMCA claimer, the content creator says they're not infringing, so we're putting their content back up; if you don't agree with that, you can sue the content creator, and we'll comply with whatever court order comes from that."

But Google has decided to become judge, jury, and copyright-striker without any legal obligation to do so. Their current "solution" cost them way more money to implement than simply complying with the DMCA takedown process would cost. But I'm sure the buddy-buddy relationship they got with the music labels and movie studios in return for ContentID (and Google's hostile attitude toward small creators) has more than made up for it.

The DMCA has a lot of bad parts to it (the anti-circumvention provisions come to mind), but the takedown process is actually not bad. For the record this is all it is:

1. Copyright holder notices content they think is infringing and files takedown notice with the hosting provider.

2. Hosting provider takes content down, and notifies content creator.

3. Content creator can file a counter-claim attesting that they do not believe their creation is infringing.

4. Hosting provider puts content back up, and notifies the original claimaint.

5. Claimant can decide to sue the content creator if they still believe they have a case. The hosting provider is left alone.

And that's how it should be! People should be responsible for the things they post. Neutral hosting services should not be. The alternative to this takedown process would be that the copyright holder would have to go to court for every single case of infringement, which would not only be prohibitively expensive, but would clog up the court system. I'll bet that most DMCA takedowns never even make it to step #5. Either the content "creator" admits that they are indeed infringing, and leaves the content down, or the original claimant decides to drop the issue after receiving a counter-claim. It's surely not a perfect system, but I think it's better than making everyone reach for a formal lawsuit as their first and only option.

Let's just say that there's a reason game dev has tended towards ECS/data-oriented design.

A program that puts a handful of form widgets, consumes a bunch of text or spends most of its time waiting for I/O is far from the same domain.
If they have, it'd be DMCA claims, and as the host you could just say “I refute this claim, perjurer”.
I'm humbled by the response. I was honestly afraid to open this, as I wrote this while entrenched in my emotions. I was really upset having spent a weekend on a take-home project who's feedback was basically "we're disappointed."

One of the must hurtful aspects my career was being competent enough to be left alone, hence why I never had senior mentorship. That's only partly true though, as we had a senior developer hire for myself who ended up being a total con. I don't want to go into it. I was lucky he once told me to shut up to my face so I eventually had something to go to HR with. I had to comb through code reviews, code commits, etc. and build a case have him fired. Then I was alone again.
Fact checking is just so Orwellian, how is it even possible that intelligent-seeming people have fallen for this trick? And what happens when the media lies, such as when they told us a year and a half ago that "masks actually spread COVID?"

This is all so unbelievably ridiculous. I no longer trust the authorities and fact checking is just making it worse.

There are two gaps in the DMCA that should get fixed:

- there's no penalty for filing a knowingly-false DMCA takedown notice, aside from getting a judge angry at you for wasting their time (which, generally, is a bad idea)

- there's no penalty for filing multiple takedown notices on the same work, since the uploader would have to spend the time and money to take the claimant to court

But the issue in this case is that there's another four or five steps before you, as the uploader, can make your claim before a magistrate because YouTube has their own process in front of the DMCA. On top of that, YT allows automated scans and takedowns; there's no lawyer-signed letters to show a judge until much later. YouTube only requires you to click a "I own this" checkbox, and does no due diligence (at least not publicly) of the verification video that's uploaded into Content ID. And given the church with which YouTube promotes videos, there's not really much incentive to spend the time and money on a legal fight for a video that's fallen off the recommendation engine's radar.

One thing about the non-rts Blizzard games, is they're basically all loot piñatas. Diablo 1/2/3, WoW, even Hearthstone to some extent are basically loot piñatas that prey on addictive behaviors in very much the same way that loot boxes and freemium mobile games do. Personally, I prefer a well crafted single player story over that sort of 'game'. And if you have your ear to the ground it's clear that they're going to make Diablo 4 a real Genshin Impact loot box nightmare as well. I don't know what demographic they think they're selling to anymore but it's sad.

O, I heard you talking for a minute but I’m having some trouble.

On using Safari on an iPhone SE (v. 2020) I gave access to microphone but it wasn’t clear if it was muted by default, when I tapped to mute, all of the audio cut out, which was unexpected, I was just trying to mute myself to be polite.

And when I open the chat, and click in the text field, it highlights with blue edge and my keyboard opens, but nothing I type is reflected in the text box, and I see no way to submit.

Best of luck, it’s an ambitious project.
In this case, the argument in the ruling is that there is no question that the defendant owns the laptop, so the act of proving that it's his account doesn't incriminate (since it's not establishing any fact not already known).

>The implication here is that there were not any "extenuating circumstances," and by that I mean that the circumstances were artificial and were the result of a direct action made by Robinhood as a result of their own poor business practices. It is not an uncommon occurrence for a retail broker to deal in high-risk securities on their clients behalf, and for those high-risk securities to vary wildly in price and liquidity.

People buying high risk securities isn't uncommon, but everyone piling on to the same high risk security at the volumes seen that week is uncommon.

>Likewise, it is not unreasonable for investors to expect that a broker would actually possess the shares that the investor has purchased, and it is expected that the broker would make a timely effort to procure actual shares after acknowledging that an order was filled.

Did robinhood fail to do deliver shares? Also keep in mind robinhood doesn't operate like amazon. They're not fulfilling orders from shares they have on hand. Them being able to deliver the shares is contingent on the clearinghouse being able to deliver the shares. Them not being able to because the clearinghouse and/or their counterparties weren't able to shouldn't really be blamed on robinhood themselves.

I wish the term (and the book) were as popular as they used to be. Perhaps its just that coders don't have to have the in-depth knowledge of all the details they used to. Libraries/IDE/Stack Exchange have made it possible to code at a higher level, without having to know all the details that would be required to truly 'grok' something..

> Social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter are the carrier, and should be treated as such.

They are not "carriers" nor are they "publishers" because those concepts aren't legal terms, outside a very narrow field of law and the imagination of the tech community.

Besides, "carriers" aren't as free from intervention as you make it out to be. AT&T can and does, and sometimes is required to, block spam or fraudulent calls, for example/

"Summa Technologiae" by Stanislaw Lem. It's the book about everything existing, possible and impossible too. For me it gives motivation to learn new, think about something new, try to find limits of what I already know.

"ANSI Common Lisp" by Paul Graham. I did not became a lisper because of that but it helped me to came out of my cave. I considered myself an experienced programmer but that was something about "other" programming. I remember the feeling that I had a secret magical weapon in my hands.

"Programming Erlang" by Joe Armstrong. This book is not about Erlang mainly but about ideas and conceptions behind Erlang. Actor model, messaging, "let it fail", "happy path" - all that influenced me a lot.

In theory, a DMCA notification can be sent to your server provider or ISP. They would then forward the notification to you.

Why not both?

Copyright certainly matters. It's a big deal legally and economicically all over the world.

Suppose that it's just a bad idea and shouldn't exist. Does that mean that I should release my code into the public domain? I think you could make a good case that even being totally opposed to copyright morally or pragmatically or otherwise, given that it currently is enforced in many places it's worthwhile to play along. For example, some people would prefer a world without copyright, but GPL their code, because it might prevent a greater evil.

I'm of the latter variety: use it until it ends.

It wasn't a Kindle, but another country's prepaid SIM that I continued using while in Japan. Phone companies in Japan don't do prepaid: only phone rentals by the day, or 2 year subscriptions. Neither of those were suitable for the 2 months I lived there.

Some international SIM cards would run out of balance and send an SMS as a warning. But others would redirect me to a topup page. Let's just say that wasn't the only page that was available, and the "send this page to a friend" email function is very convenient when Japanese phones have incoming email addresses for sending email-to-SMS.

Google calendar used to be a great way to get free email-to-RSS-to-SMS notifications, but that shut down a couple of years ago unfortunately.

A DMCA notice would require YouTube to take the video down or be potentially on the hook for the copyright infringement. A DMCA counter-notice from the creator of the video would allow YouTube to put it back up without being liable. After a counter-notice, the supposed copyright holders next recourse would be legal action against the person alleged to have broken the copyright.

This is not DMCA. I’m almost certain from the screenshots that the video was flagged by YouTube’s incredibly broken content ID system. Once flagged the content creator can appeal, but on appeal it is the supposed copyright holder who gets to decide whether their claim is valid, the content creator has no say, and no further recourse.

It’s an incredibly unjust system, plagued by trolls, but I don’t think it’s caused by DMCA.

IANAL, etc
I am fortunate to have recently gotten sober. I used to hit the bottle immediately after getting home.
What exactly is the legal harm? Google doesn't owe you free video hosting.
This is not DMCA, though. This is Youtube's own parallel court of law.

DMCA has a proper process where you can appeal properly, and you can't keep sending bogus claims without repercussion. DMCA also allows fair use. And finally, DMCA puts the burden of proof on the claimant. In ContentID, however there is no burden of proof, and claimants can deny disputes without mediation.
