The DMCA process allows a right-holder to submit a takedown request that the content host will review and, if found to be correct, act on with "expeditious" timeliness.

The direct delete was not a takedown request; it was a deletion order. This is beyond MU's DMCA responsibility.

I do not have evidence of rights holders abusing this feature at MU. But we do know that the labels have made mistakes before [1]. It would be irresponsible for MU to give a third party the ability to wipe large swaths of their servers clean without oversight.

1935 iPad design unveiled
I find it more interesting how incredibly shady and underhanded the entire "challenge" is to begin with. They get to choose the exact rules and conditions, for which they've specially customized their phones beforehand, even if it's completely outside the bounds of what an average consumer would ever do.

In this case, it was to show the weather of two different cities. The only reason the contestant won was because he happened to need that information enough in his day-to-day life to warrant the two separate weather widgets on his home screen. The Microsoft representative obviously knew what the challenge would be going in, and already had the tiles ready to go.

What he forgets to mention is that you have to fix a good deal of the bugs at runtime(spending time in debugger), that would otherwise be picked up by a compiler and also figuring out the workarounds on the shitty toolchain

I think that this is a subjective position, some people find that the dev cycle is faster, in some cases fast enough to offset the debugging and yet others don't experience the issue to the degree that it is highlighted. I see this position from a good deal of people that prefer static languages and for me personally it is just not a huge issue. I just don't run into the issue that static languages are supposed to save me from enough to forgo the rapid development of languages such as JavaScript and Lisp. I think this issue is bore more out of how each of us develops and thinks, rather than some correctness of one over the other.
Lot of 'a-ha' moments. Thanks very much.

> No, although I'm not quite sure how to argue because I don't understand the assumptions leading to this question. An economic 'bubble' is, generalized, a sociological phenomenon where people ascribe an unrealistic value (as in, real value) to a good (the 'irrational exuberance'), leading to a bidding war fueled by the prospect that this value will continue to rise. Then at some point, it becomes clear that the good is overvalued, and the people who at that point own the goods are left hanging, much like musical chairs. If they borrowed to pay for the goods, they're double screwed because now they can't pay on their debts, the effects of which can then ripple through the economy. Bubbles don't come from too much wealth being concentrated in one hand.

So if the maximum price a consumer is willing to pay for a virtual good increased through un-realistic lending over a period, that could create a bubble.

I suppose the part of the equation that's open to 'interpretation' is the amount of money people are prepared to pay when there is no physical counterpart or cost associated with a sale. It does seem (at least to me) that DRM tries to introduce artificial scarcity specifically to maximise that amount.

You're right - I was assuming that limited supply was the basis for pricing and, that not having a limited supply could upset the balance of economics.

This isn't really a problem of the proportional system - given a large party narrowly over 50%, relatively small interest groups within the party will start gaining extraordinary weight as well. Just think of the tea party.

In my opinion, the upside of splitting the parties up is that it makes these particular power struggle more visible, and allows parties more flexibility in ignoring interest groups when a majority can be found elsewhere.

Honestly, I think there will be a fairly high number of people who regularly read programming books, especially among those who may not have done a CS degree at a university. Personally, I have read dozens of programming books cover-to-cover that are often mentioned on these lists.
You're missing the point. There is a DMCA process, by which someone sends a takedown notice and the website owner needs to take down infringing material. In addition to this process, Megaupload offered certain third parties the ability to directly take down files without having to go through the takedown process. It is this ability which was limited, not the ability to send takedown notices.

All I'm saying is that in this regard Megaupload's actions were perfectly reasonable. The debate about whether taking down links instead of files because not all copies of the file are infringement is a completely separate issue.
Seems like that's an awful fine line. How is that different from the MPAA claiming that Megaupload is a fraud that has stolen money that belongs to them? How do you come up with a set of objective rules that can treat one accused fraudster different from another?
And the way to do that is: Fixed price for the first X GB, generous enough to cover ~90% of the users, variable pricing thereafter, and the aforementioned transparency about the status of your account. (In particular, text message alerts warning you when you've hit 90% of the limit, or some other active notification that you're going over, not just some abstract page that you could, theoretically, hit.)

There are lots of texts on rising above worldly pleasures, and some are very good. I'm a particular fan of Ekhart Tolle's work, and I enjoyed the Tibetan Book of Living and Dying... The Tao of Pooh, and the Te of Piglet got me through a difficult adolescence.

As with any idea, though, simplifying it too far tends to lose important subtleties. The mental austerity mentioned in the original post is likely to strike a resonant chord with many men who wished they had better self-control, and who wished they were acting with more general agency in their life. Men are complete suckers for certain ideals of manhood, certain archetypes that are well presented. If this is something that interests you, I can strongly recommend the books Iron John by Robert Bly, King Warrior Magician Lover by Robert Moore, and the excellent Way of The Superior Man by David Deida.

I find this quote by Alan Watts particularly poignant, and perhaps an antidote to the original post:

"We thought of life by analogy with a journey, a pilgrimage, which had a serious purpose at the end and the thing was to get to that end, success or whatever it is, maybe heaven after you’re dead. But we missed the point the whole way along. It was a musical thing and you were supposed to sing or to dance while the music was being played." (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ERbvKrH-GC4)

While I understanding your general cynicism, may I observe that except for the easy API part, Comcast already does all this transparency stuff. (Different pricing plan, but it is transparent, and mostly adequate.) If market pressure could get Comcast to comply, I don't think it's that hopeless that it can get the telcos to comply. Your cynicism is perhaps a little too cynical.
One of the biggest UI issues Bitcoin has, is that if it gets big enough, and even now, most people will have to pay for stuff like this: 0.000003 Bitcoins. I doubt regular people will really get used to this, ever. And even if you get to name those eventually miliBitcoins or nanoBitcoins, and you'll only ever deal with those, what was the point of naming them Bitcoin at the high-end?

If anyone makes another digital currency, they should make sure there are a lot more than only 21 million units. They should be counted at least in billions or even trillions.

> You can't compare YouTube to MegaUpload. YouTube has Google levels of traffic which MegaUpload did not.

What on Earth do traffic numbers have to do with whether a site is infringing copyrights on not??

> has never encouraged piracy either directly or implicitly.

What the Viacom vs YT/Google tough us is that the YT owners were fully aware of the files uploaded being pirated. There have been long emails transcriptions where YT owners talk with each other how long should they keep the files online to "help traffic numbers grow" before putting files down. Lookup the court case, I am short on time to look right now.
I prefer quantitative researcher myself.
What exactly is it that makes it a worthy replacement? (Yes, I'd like opinions on this; I haven't looked deeply at the guts of the matching algorithms.)

My guess: File size (in a brief check, Rainbow appears to be about half the size, unpacked), active development, and use of github (code-prettify is a few years old, hosted via SVN on Google code, and updated infrequently.)

However, prettify has a much broader range of languages already available for use.

Hungry: Learning to Feed Myself
You can't imply that all uploads generating links where done by people who were not licensed to do so.

This is why copyright is such a minefield. There is no way to know if someone has a license allowing them to do the things that they do.

I know the Youtube defense and all are beaten to death about this but they can easily find out that two videos are the same. If someone sends a take down for video 1 you say video 2 should also be taken down except it might very well have been uploaded by a legitimate licensee of the video.

Proving you're gay to the Turkish army (for service exemption)
As a rough calculation it sounds ballpark plausible.

IMDB lists 271,106 feature films. Even if massive numbers of those fall outside the MPAA or were pre-1942, it's still quite plausible that 38k fall within those boundaries.

The interesting thing is TV, which is certainly produced at a higher gb rate than feature films these days. I don't think you can discount those from a calculation of infringing material.

The text of the law: "the service provider

material that is claimed to be infringing upon notification
of claimed infringement as described in subsection (c)(3),"

They are also required to restore it if they receive a counter-notification and the issuer of the original takedown notice has not filed a lawsuit in 10-14 days. This implies they can not delete the file from their system and still meet their legal requirements.

Slime mold mimics Canadian highway network (w/ video)
I'm currently using Bamboo (Atlassian) running in AWS. Everything is done in AWS.

Let me try to digest and understand what you're saying:

- CI system can be made to work with jsTestDriver/Selenium as long as _somehow_ there is an input file to the build system (i.e.: JUnit XML formatted text).

That's true.

My next question is: I'd like to run everything (the unit-tests) in the same machine _without_ having to deploy and run the back-end as well. I'd like to mock the back-end communication with the UI so I can write unit-tests. Is there a way to do that with the current available JS test framework?

My next question is: if I'm running all of my CI in AWS, without an extra machine _with_ a monitor attach to it, can I still run jsTestDriver/Selenium?

Neat, but not quite the same thing as Slime. Slime also, provides hinting and autocompletion based on the running Lisp image, debugging restarts, namespace resolution and other features.

This seems more general though, and clearly has the biggest feature nailed.
That's not really SLIME. It's more like Emacs' comint-mode which powers all the functionality for sending code around in Emacs.

SLIME is much more than just sending code. It's a full-fledged development environment with commands for inspecting variables, viewing threads, stepping, viewing backtraces, etc.
They've been expanding it to cover links so that they can go after link farms and search engines, instead of being limited to people actually infringing.

If you were a betting person, would you bet that a jury will reasonably conclude that the terabytes and terabytes of copyrighted video on MegaUpload is or isn't properly licensed?

The DMCA shields service providers from criminal charges if and only if they pass three tests: (a) no internal knowledge of actual infringement (and, expeditious autonomous removal of infringing content without notice required), (b) no financial interest in infringement, and (c) responsiveness to takedowns.

While I guess we can noodle around about what a court is going to find in this case (although I think I have a spoiler for you on that), it's harder to argue that prosecutors don't have a case here that they are likely to win.

What I hate is the trend to overlook maintability of the code just to get something that will take less keystroke to write.

People are creating new language in good faith and they want their language to look nice. I don't think anyone can disagree on that. The problem is that the aspect of the maintability of the code is overlooked in the process of the creation. When you overlook this aspect it may not hurt you in the short term, but it hurts in the long term. It may be nice for you to code something in a way now, but everyone that will have to maintain your code may not find it nice to read.
