Well, this is basically how DMCA takedown requests (as opposed to YouTube copyright claims, which are not legally binding, and the strikes system) work, though—YouTube definitely does have to process legitimate DMCA takedowns unless they want to be liable. It would be noble if they decided to preemptively take the potential liability of frivelous takedowns against ostencibly fair use videos, but the entire reason why the current copyright claim/strike (NOT DMCA takedowns, mind you) and content ID system exists was to quell the lawsuits from IP owners. This is the real reason for the copyright strike system that can shut down channels.

YouTube is broken, yes... But the law is broken much more. And lest you think the U.S. laws are draconian, Japanese law surrounding copyright is significantly worse.

I remember a lot of streamers who once streamed on YouTube moved to Twitch, often citing the fear of copyright claims (and lack of communication about such issues) as their primary motivators. This includes some pretty large YouTubers, like probably most notably moistcr1tikal. Twitch had more lax policies, especially about streaming copyrighted music, whereas YouTube pretty much treated stream VODs the way they treated videos. Lo and behold, not more than a couple years later, Twitch has its own copyright panic, specifically involving the use of music on streams.

For all of YouTube's failures, you're going to see all of the same crap anywhere that competes with them, pretty much. Google may be horrible at PR, support, etc. but I think the biggest complaints about YouTube are difficult to avoid. That doesn't mean we shouldn't have more competitors in the space, but I also do not expect more competitors to necessarily improve this particular problem. It might make it worse by fragmenting things.

If you want to see the end of frivelous copyright claims and takedowns, we need copyright reform that strengthens and expands fair use and adds serious liabilities for bad faith claims.
even for macro trends, the E likes to cherry pick its data. The US PPP trend has been sad for a while now, (thats not even per capita)

https://www.researchgate.net/figure/US-GDP-at-purchasing-pow...

There was another E agitprop piece recently, implying that the internet contributed to 20% TFP growth since 1990s, but the reality is that most of that growth happened before 2005, with a decline since then. I had to check the data because Krugman had just blogged about "the internet did nothing for productivity" (for the nth time?)

in both pieces, the E lifts America pretty much by comparison to its closest peers, who happen to be social democracies running out of natural resources and boomers.
Standing desks and bookmarklets are both cool things that should definitely exist, I'm not knocking either of them.

But if software has a UX problem and the only viable solution requires copying snippets of code around, then that is a reasonable criticism of the software.
HN'ers: Thanks! What a difference a title makes.

Last week's article was more of an anti-software-patent screed, and ended with a vague statement about copyright. I got some feedback and realized the copyright part looked thrown in (which it was), and I took it out.

That doesn't mean that copyright isn't well worth discussing, but I haven't spent as much time on that part of the law. This week's article is more focused on a specific issue, which would make a huge difference in the patent landscape.

Yes. On a regular basis. Do you not?
Most of the time I defend teachers, but I confess to feeling pretty weird about it because with some (super notable) exceptions I had pretty bad experiences with them. I have a lot of opinions about schools/teachers/education whatever but they're pretty polemic and would derail.

>I suspect you will find that most workers are better compensated outside the US than in the U.S.

Huh? The US has the highest median disposable income in the world[0], let alone tech which blows Europe out of the water even in the lowest of cost of living states.

You're not going to find accurate income information for service workers because service workers notoriously do not report their cash tips which make up for a large portion of their income. That means the median is even higher.

Of course 'phonics only' wouldn't work, but this 'guess your way to reading' type of instruction was used with two of my three kids and I can tell you it was a joke.

It wasn't until we actively intervened and started teaching phonics at home with our middle son and moving our daughter to a private school that taught phonics as a core function of their reading curriculum did they start to actually read.

I haven't listened to the podcast so I can't speak to it's content but I'm interested to hear if what their talking about matches my experience.

The claim that it's a bed for human trafficking and child pornography is the reason they now require user verification and consent forms.

At the time it was a valid criticism, now it weirdly feels like misdirection or disingenuous puff piece because the seedy underbelly of porn streaming and piracy has probably shifted elsewhere.

Coming home one night, I approached the front door and found hundreds of earthworms crawling up the wall toward the artificial light. Some close to it were sort of tapping on the light. This was before ubiquitous cameras or else I'd have a picture. I haven't found info on this phenomenon anywhere, and this article doesn't offer any explanation of that. I'd like to recreate this, but it might have just been under the most perfect conditions.

I wonder whether averages here "average out" the missing spending. I am not surprised that the average spending in San Francisco per kid is higher than most places, especially because of the prevalence of private schools. And, of course, more money is not always a solution if it's not used effectively. I would also guess that absolute spending per child is not really comparable without adjusting for cost of living, you can't outsource your teachers after all. The question is quite complicated.

> If the only equality you can figure out how to manage is hammering down all the nails that stick out, what good is equality?

I have not said that, but opportunities should be well thought out and available to each child. I am also convinced that there is a balance to strike here, classes should be diverse to not entrench inequality too much. Of course young mozart just needs more musical education, young warhol more art and young einstein more math.
This is a threat for singers, not for songwriters. If I can get a great vocal on my songs without having to pay hundreds (or thousands) to someone on soundbetter than that's good for me (but very bad for the people with good voices who I've always been jealous of)
As it turns out, I am a Bell retail customer being held hostage by their refusal to engage in seemingly any settlement-free peering with other Canadian networks. I am only their customer because the third-party providers indicated that they were unable to provide service despite Bell DSL service being subject to local-loop unbundling. As the monopoly incumbent that has received significant subsidy to develop their services, I believe they should have a duty to peer at not-for-profit Canadian internet exchanges that meet minimum traffic and peer diversity thresholds.

What kills it for me is the amount of middlebrow dismissals new PLs get, especially here.

Tons of work and some rando comes in complaining you didn't advance type theory to help avoid annotating a type in one location. Arguably worse are the people who advocate against the new PL because no one is using it, strengthening the Matthew Effect, collecting Internet Points for cosplaying as a "responsible engineer" that argues solely for the status quo.

There is the concept of economic externalities[1] that drive costs up in ways that people don't even think about.

Like mail delivery. If you didn't have paved roads and police then all of your deliveries would have to be, essentially, in armored cars with good shocks (i.e. almost off-roading capabilities). The cost of operating those vehicles is high, and the costs to you to ship a parcel would also be absurd. FedEx can get a shipment to you in 3 days because there is a robust infrastructure that isn't besieged daily by robbers

This isn't an abstraction: Wells Fargo got its start moving money across the "wild west" in armored transports. There was a reason for that, and they were often the only (expensive) option for shipping if there wasn't a train or regular trade route though rural towns. They even had custom shotguns (the original "coach guns" made for that specific purpose.[2]

> You're mincing words

"mincing words" is a good description of law in general. That's no criticism at all.
"Exploitation" is a word that can be easily twisted to mean whatever you want it to mean. So, using these words in an emotional, irrational appeal may be puritan, but most of all it's intellectually dishonest and manipulative.
If they removed 99% of their staff I’d expect a relatively small decline in the short term. The question is in 3 years have they grown or are they down 20%?
>I think people underestimate what ChromeOS can do by a lot. There's the android subsytem coming with it, along with an optional linux subsystem, so all in all it covers a lot of ground.

First impressions are everything.

ChromeOS's first impression was that it's Chrome in OS form with no local compute whatsoever; everything is done via the internet, aka the cloud.

That is not strictly the case anymore, but changing first impressions simply is not trivial.

Higher end Chromebooks also rival low- to middle-tier Windows laptops in price, and if you're paying top dollar why not buy the latter and have access to the much more capable Windows ecosystem instead?

Show HN: Open-source Page speed tooling. Real user monitoring and Audits
Hey all - Swishjam is open-source (<a href="https://www.github.com/swishjam/swishjam">https://www.github...) frontend page speed tooling. Swishjam collects all of the page speed/performance related metrics from each of your real users' experiences as they visit your site (such as Core Web Vital metrics, resource load times, and more), and then makes sense of it for you by giving you intuitive visualizations and actionable insights on where performance bottlenecks exist on your site.

Swishjam’s goal is to simplify performance and ultimately automatically apply performance improvements to your site on your behalf such as auto-image compression, CDN hosting, and strategically loading your page resources.

The web today is littered with massive javascript files, unoptimized images, and poor resource loading strategies, resulting in slow web sites and poor experiences for end users. We initially set out to solve for the third party javascript that is slowing down sites, however after talking with many users it became clear that there was a larger need helping users improve the overall performance of their entire frontend. While these users agree performance is of utmost importance to their web experience, most simply don’t know where to start to tackle the issue. The existing tools on the market today are complicated, and don’t provide actionable insights as next steps.

While there are other options that exist to collect performance metrics (ie: CrUX data - https://developer.chrome.com/docs/crux/), we want to provide a simple, open-source way of collecting and visualizing your performance metrics, and give you actual actionable next steps to improve performance rather than leave it up to you to figure it out.

Given a piece of contemporary art, will you be able to tell whether it was created by a human or an AI process? What if your in a gallery looking at collection, but the artist is pseudo-anonymous and no one really knows what tools they use behind the scenes to create their work? Would you allow their work to move you?

> Its a private business, not for us to speculate on just because the company in question is a private business

We literally speculate on this kind of thing daily on HN but I only see this defense of the company when it pertains to Pornhub.

I can look up some other threads about acquisitions, like Libery Media buying Formula 1, and we can quantify how many of these comments are present in those threads. Or one of the many acquisitions Google have made that have been discussed here ad nauseum.

I've seen this kind of legalistic defense of pornography on HN every time it comes up on discussion. Worries about AI replacing developers are given time and nuanced discussion but any concern about women being abused with deep fakes are dismissed on these kind of technical terms. It's not surprising as the demographic of HN has a pretty big overlap with porn users (male, single, chronically online, etc.) so the people here are some of the biggest beneficiaries of the porn industry while the people who suffer are almost entirely unrepresented.

No one's saying it explicitly today and I am indeed drawing conclusions based on my experience but that's a normal human thing to do.
I'm don't think the same holds true for music. I don't even know who the artists are for many of my favorite songs. I couldn't even say what most of them are called without my playlists in front of me.

> To you and me, sure, there is value in a linux desktop.

"You and me" is actually not a small or meaningless demographic. It includes my thousands of colleagues at Mercedes-Benz who use Linux desktops to do engineering work, and millions of other developers. It means a lot of scientists, for example at NASA and CERN. It means a lot of school students and government employees in educational and other municipal deployments.

A lot of the places where Linux is used is for roles that act as multiplicators, e.g. in the development and production of end-user products, or research/science/RD that will lead to new ones, or in educating the people who will one day make new ones.

All of this is a lot of value if you sum it up. There may be no single shining CEO and his shareholders getting rich off of the Linux desktop in the way we're used to fawning over in the tech hustle news cycle. But the world at large almost certainly is. I submit that's a fine success metric.

> To the average user, linux is not in any state to be a useable, daily driver desktop.

For many users it's today more reliable than contemporary Windows. Ten years ago, the Linux desktop experience for a non-technical user was death by a thousand papercuts. Today there are still some gaps in HW support that can create unsolvables, but if your machine is well-supported, things work just fine.

What's mainly keeping it back is many other factors, from channel availability to software availability.

Honestly, I was with you on the weather aspect. I do go to work daily, rain or shine ... it sucks to drive in the rain and I was lucky to go full HO during a bad winter, but overall it's perfect workable (in central Germany).

But then you wrote that you walk just 1h to work ... That can't be more than 20 minutes by bike. (My commute is 30 minutes by foot, 15 by car, 1:30h public transport... But due to the road layout it takes me just 10 minutes on average by bike.)
Linux is not relevant to the discussion.

> We tried that with our first and it didn't work. Some children require more direct support. Knowing what works for those who need it is pretty huge.

Yeah, I think the GP is making the same error has the "whole language" approach people--making the faulty assumption that mere exposure is enough to educate. That works with some, but clearly fails a lot. And even for the kids it works with, I'd be afraid it would leave gaps that would be much better addressed with some explicit instruction.

My kid is tiny and loves to "read" (i.e. memorize and recite books). At this rate, he'll probably learn to read on his own, but I definitely want to make sure he has the tools to successfully tackle difficult and unfamiliar words, so he doesn't self-limit to the stuff he knows well.
I don't think I have that type of problem.

I would say the big challenge would be persuading someone to pay anything monthly for only two weeks of effort.

Seems challenging enough so much of the time just to come up with anything of value at all during some 2-week periods.
