What it looks like to me is that YouTube refuses to play the role of the judge.

The role of YouTube in this dispute has been simply to provide a platform for the parties to work it out. YouTube is not the organization that is denying the fair use claim, Lionsgate is.

Hey Sergio,
That's so awesome to hear (I worked on the Twilio Codecademy lessons) - if you have any more questions feel free to drop me an e-mail at jonmarkgo@twilio.com and I'll be happy to help.
Well one of the great things about Brooklyn is the fact that the MTA runs 24 hours (yes, it's less frequent in the early morning) and subway stations are widely distributed. Thus, I never had any hesitations about living in random faraway spots in BK to save some money.

I do a lot of web development in Clojure using Noir, Compojure, Hiccup, etc.

I find this setup similar to using Ruby + Sinatra.

I still keep up to speed with Rails versions, etc., but in the last year almost all of my web development has been with either Clojure or Ruby + Sinatra.
There is indeed a world outside of Linux and mobile, and most of that world doesn't have a problem working with C99 and C11. Windows is - as with many other things - the exception, and it's getting tiresome.

There's no way Windows developers are going to stop using Visual Studio - and rightly so, because it's a very good IDE. So there are basically three things Microsoft could do to resolve this situation and let Windows developers make use of modern C code:

1. Update their C89 compiler to a newer C standard. This is unlikely, and probably a lot of work for Microsoft (I'm guessing they'll be removing the C compiler from one of the next releases of Visual Studio).

2. Add support for essential C99/C11 features to their C++ compiler, such as designated initializers. This would still force us to compile our C as C++ and do nasty things like casting the return type of malloc, but it might be the easiest solution.

3. Switch to a modern, open source C compiler like Clang. I would be very surprised if Microsoft would do anything like this (else IE would be using WebKit already).

So we're basically forced to either butcher our C code to make it compile as C++, or write C89. Or drop MSVC support, making our projects difficult for Windows developers to work with.
Without extensive documentation I'm not sure it's easier to carefully review these preconfigured images than it is to setup one yourself from scratch.

Instead of VM images I wish there was a modular, heavily documented and peer-reviewed script-based solution for turning e.g. an Ubuntu default install into a hardened LAMP server configured according to best-practices.

1) I'm just calling it what they called it. 2) There is a big difference but it doesn't mean it's a smart decision. If they said "Here you go guys, we aren't supporting this anymore so feel free to use it however you want" Adobe would gain some respect by a portion of their target market. Instead, they posted download links and said "please don't download this!"
> My premiums go up by double digit percentages every year because "costs" keep increasing

Because of government regulation.

> The more private companies run our lives (especially something like healthcare), the more they will be able to dictate our choices (what we eat, risky behavior etc).

Not violently, under the threat of fees or imprisonment.

> The only difference between corporate control and government control is that we actually have some say in how the government controls us because at the end of the day we control the government.

That's not true. The principal difference is that government uses violence to maintain control, while companies almost universally do not (except when they do so by lobbying government). Businesses go out of business all the time, which is a prime example of society exercising control over unpopular businesses, but unpopular governments very rarely cease to exist. I'm not sure how you can justify the claim that society has more control over government, with its vast military and police system and its nationwide campaign of mandatory taxation, than over businesses, which (with very few counterexamples, most of which involve employing government violence) only make money through voluntary transactions where both parties believe they are benefiting.

When you list the downsides of public and private health care, you leave out the primary distinction, which is that with private health care each person gets to choose which (if any) provider and plan to pay for, while with public health care there is no (or less) individual choice.

Now, I won't deny that a "perfect public health care system" sounds ideal, but the problem is that the definition of "perfect" varies from individual to individual. This is not a particularly profound or original idea: any dictatorial control is great for the people who enjoy the choices the dictatorship makes. You can easily apply this to some industry that is mostly privatized, like automobiles. If the perfect vehicle for Bob is a 4 door sedan with great gas mileage because Bob commutes and drives his family around a lot, then a "perfect" system for Bob would probably be one where 4 door sedans were the only automobile produced, and every household paid a set fee and was issued one of these sedans. Bob's costs would almost certainly go down, both from the economy of scale from only manufacturing a single type of car, and from the distributed fees. But that system is really bad for Joe, a farmer who really needs a large pickup truck and will probably have to buy one himself while his government-issued sedan goes to waste. Joe could argue (and I would agree) that even though switching to a privatized automobile industry might cause higher prices for a lot of people (like Bob), the individual choice is the important factor.

People do care about picture quality, but the problem now is that there's very little content that's actually in native 1080p. A lot of content is being consumed through Netflix, Amazon, or other streaming services, and most of those don't offer 1080 streams for everything. Add in the fact that most homes in the US literally cannot stream 1080p content, which is really the main barrier to all of those.

I really don't think that the 4k/8k techs are stillborn. It's just going to take a long time for the content providers to catch up.

You fell victim of Microsoft's "upgrade" policy. Either upgrade your phone (ideally something than Microsoft's).
Of course you are, my comment was that when you are presented with a decision and the data that was collected and analyzed that went into it, if you've seen a few of these you are much better at catching problems.

If you are the one doing the collecting and analyzing and you just think it feels like enough data but you can't actually reason to that point, then yes, you are doing it wrong.

It makes more sense to search out the company that fits you as opposed to bending and molding yourself to fit in company X.

Not everyone can afford this luxury to just hop from job to job, but if you're top 5 at anything, and I mean ANYTHING, someone is probably looking to hire you and pay you well (even something as meaningless as building models out of toothpicks). My advice to my kids will be to find what you're naturally best at and push it to the max. No matter what it is or how much you may think "this wont pay", there's someone out there that will pay you well for it.

Anyways, just an expansion and rant to follow your comment. Thanks for sparking this train of thought in my head. Upvote..
Silicon Valley is stucco-corporate ugly. San Francisco is charming, yet now grossly-expensive. The two are linked by decrepit transport systems that are being supplanted only by Google/Yahoo/Facebook's own shuttles (services that do nothing for low-wage Valley workers or entrepreneurs trying to begin new endeavors).

East Bay is charming and inexpensive. There are residents and young people who discuss more than option-pool restructuring and PHP/Rails. As long as I can continue to work in San Francisco, and as long as rents stay as high as they are in that city, I'll choose to live here.
And Clojure can target and interoperate with at least two of those stacks: Java (standard Clojure), Javascript (ClojureScript). And there is experimental support for C/C++ (clojurec, Ferret, etc). Not to mention in progress support for targeting CLR/C# (ClojureCLR) and python (clojure-py).
There was a joke in that?

As a native Richmonder, I take umbrage to this comment.

There is a big difference between single-payer and a nationalized healthcare system. In the latter, doctors are government employees. The UK and Canada work that way, and choose to spend very little money on healthcare. But most peer nations have single-payer non-nationalized healthcare systems and choose to spend more than Canada and the UK, but much much less than the US.

With a single payer, the commercial service objective is warped: patients and doctors are motivated to make care decisions that are inefficient or even harmful, and customer service or premium care for people who want it is eliminated.

See, this is not true at all. Consider the French system. Basic care is provided by a government plan, but doctors don't work for the state and everyone can supplement with private coverage if they want to pay extra.

> The problem honestly sounds like the codebase itself.

Any reasonably sized codebase is going to load a lot of files. Because your projects are so small that this is not an issue is not a reflection on the quality of every one else's work.
"Compared to Haskell I found the syntax very obtuse and it was not obvious why Lisp would be more powerful than Haskell."

Language "power" is ill-defined, and basically means "good".

If you think that homoiconicity is good, then you probably like lisp. If you think that referential transparency is good, then you probably like haskell. Those are mutually exclusive, so one language can't really have both. But either one could be considered "powerful" and either one could be said to help prevent bugs.

Single payer implies that negotiations, budgeting, and coverage decisions are made by the government, who is the "single payer" the term refers to. That doctors ostensibly work for private companies doesn't ameliorate the Republican concern here.
Good school districts already exist on the peninsula. The author suggests merely densifying them, which is anathema to the people who currently live in them.

That is false.
I see a lot of comments suggesting "it's his company, of course he wants it to be good for him!" (One commenter used the term "insipid").

There are worse things in the world than a founder looking to make a company a good place to work for the long term. Consider: If shit is broken, we’ll fix it now, lest we be stuck with it for decades. Now think about people flipping companies, people playing hot potato with toxic assets, or looking for the next vote, or surge in page-views, and this attitude starts to look pretty nice.
Well I don't mean to say that you are an idiot; I really am curious about what made removing nodes from a list difficult. One of the things that makes linked lists great to work with is how easily nodes can be removed or inserted.

Personally, I would be inclined to blame C as a language, rather than you as a programmer. You basically did that anyway:

"it was c. i made some mistakes. i fixed them."

Obviously glasses are superfluous. The frame rate thing is a straw-man. Why perception of 3D really fails is it allows the director to override your field of depth. Whatever depth you choose to focus it is not up to the physics of your eyes to determine what's sharp or not, instead it was already decided during the shot. This is like someone else changes slightly the dioptries of your contacts at random. Very annoying.
> time was passing

This is an interesting alternative way of looking at it, yeah. I have said several times in the past that I basically live my whole life as if the "time running out" music from Mario was playing [1], but that's more about my impatience in everyday life than any wise long-term awareness of my own mortality.

I think you're assuming a lot more about the writer than the writer assumed about the pest control guy. There's very little reason to doubt his reading of the situation, as I'm sure he's encountered it many, many times.

Also, holy crap this entire thread is full of smug heteronormative privilege. HN, I expect better.
The old joke in Grand Forks, ND was that "Friendly Manitoba" license plates outnumber ND license plates. It was a big enough issue that in 2009, Canadian health agencies were contracting with hospitals in border cities[1]. Plus, the US has a lower cancer mortality rate than Canada.

One driving factor is waiting lists in Canada are much longer than in the US (well, except at IHS). This drives Canadians to seek treatment in the US. There are several studies done on this.

The only real advantage to the Canadian system is that it isn't tied to your employer. In pretty much all other respects[2] it is not as good in either time taken or results.

"Fixing" Slow Wake for MacBook Pro w/ Retina Display
For the MVP of Buffer, I implemented PayPal (no Stripe back then), but I avoided all the IPN hassles. The IPN is the part that would auto-upgrade people once they paid. The way I did it was to upgrade people manually as soon as I got the email from PayPal that they had paid for the Pro plan.

This turned out to be good for a number of reasons:

1. I had no idea how long it'd be before the first person paid, so why optimize
that flow? Instead I worked on things which would help me get to the first
paying customer.
2. The IPN was the hardest part of PayPal implementation, so it saved me
a lot of time to avoid it. The rest of the implementation can even be done
with their button implementation and no coding experience.
3. Actually people having a slight delay, and my needing to personally email
them, was a great thing. That built a lot of loyalty through the personal contact
and those were some insightful conversations.
I think fear has little to do with it. They put in an automatic system because of the fact that they need to deal with so many claims.

It's not that they fail to acknowledge fair use, it's that they err on the side of being restrictive in every situation because the law tells them to do so. When a DMCA takedown is filed they need to respond by removing the purportedly offending content. It's not their responsibility to mediate or investigate the claim. The number of takedown notices submitted also make that impossible.

On the other hand, laws exist to prevent people from submitting takedown notices in bad faith. Lionsgate doesn't have a claim of copyright ownership, the author has copyright. The author uses materials that were authored in a production that Lionsgate now has rights to, but the new production is a new work that uses elements that it has legal right to use.

I think that the fact that they once claimed audiovisual copyright and then dropped that when the term expired and claimed a second time for visual copyright is evidence that they are abusing the automated controls of youtube and acting in bad faith. If they weren't, they would have been justified in delivering a legal copyright notification to have the video taken down when the first appeal was filed.

Instead they dropped the claim and issued another, slightly different claim to abuse the mandated automated system.
How do you envision people finding your apps? Do you think a large number of people are starting up Google Play and searching for the word matryoshka? Or searching for words like nono or amazonia?

I have two apps for kids on Google Play. The original pre-port name of the first one was Tux of Math Command, sometimes shortened to TuxMath. I renamed it Free Math Games for Kids. On a search for "math games" on Play, I come up #11. I do not have statistics, but I have a feeling a larger number of people search for "math games" every day then matryoshka, or nono, or the like. Incidentally, I pushed the math game in May 2012 and it has had 30000 downloads since then. Aside from mentioning this on the Tuxmath list, and some outside promotion in Spanish which caused maybe several hundred downloads, these downloads happened without promotion.

Nono's Adventures in Amazonia is 29MB. It certainly might be best and necessary to have have it this size. Just be aware that a useful 800KB app is more likely to be downloaded than one which is more than two dozen megs. Not everyone has an LTE phone, especially in the third world. I am not saying it is too big, I am just saying be aware of how size affects downloads. Play lists the app size for a reason.
There are lots of different systems of health care. Even though in most places the government pays the bill, the method of implementation varies widely.

But the existence of the French or Japanese or Dutch healthcare systems do. At some point, empty theorizing has to give way to observation of how these systems actually work in practice. In practice, all of these systems provide care that is much much cheaper than the US system with very high levels of public satisfaction.

Also, I think you're wrong in claiming that the Republican party rejects single payer for those reasons. The Republican party loves single-payer healthcare for old people. They expanded the single-payer program for old people massively and they make political hay out of any efforts to reduce its spending.

"doctors are government employees"

Not all doctors in the UK are government employees working in the NHS - there is a private health care system here as well. Nobody makes you go or work for the NHS - but you do have to pay for it - I have private health insurance from my employer (I would never pay for it myself although I could afford it) and I'm quite happy to pay for the NHS.

NB My son was born in an NHS hospital, when he has had an accident it's the dedicated NHS childrens hospital he gets taken to, when my wife got seriously injured climbing it was an NHS hospital that treated her - all of which were awesome. The NHS is far from perfect but I like knowing that everyone in this country can get a decent standard of healthcare free at the point of delivery "In Place of Fear":

Just because supposedly a piece of software performing a critical purpose was written in lisp does not mean lisp won the war.

If the software wasn't written in lisp, it would have been written in any other language.

And if the software wasn't written at all there would have been hundreds of people doing the software's work manually instead.

Did the software help? Probably. It's likely there would have been more screw ups if there was no software. But it takes a big leap to credit the software with winning the war.

This comment does not respond to the issues I brought up in my comment at all. In fact, my comment ends with "I support single-payer". Did you think I was arguing that it was unworkable? My issue was with the mischaracterization of the Republican position.

The Dutch system, for what it's worth, strongly resembles the trajectory we are on with PPACA: guaranteed-issue private health insurance and Medicare.
Some of the Kaiser doctors are more evidence-based than others. But none of them take home more money if, for example, they operate on your rather than not. That is still true in many plans, even high-end ones, though they're not going to tell you about it.
