> To balance that (to some degree) if the allegedly infringing party follows the procedure to have the materials restored, then the ISP must restore the materials in 14 days unless the complaining party has shown evidence they have filed a case.

This is not, in fact, true. The provider is not required to restore the materials. The provider is, however, no longer protected from any liability to the user whose material was taken down that would have existed without the DMCA if they don't restore the material in response to a proper counternotice, but most proviers have already structured their contractual relationships with users so that they have no liability for that in the first place, so they don't need the safe harbor from the user, only the one from the copyright owner.

Which is the real source of asymmetry -- the safe harbor is superficially symmetrical, but one side is protecting from liability that doesn't exist in the first place, so there is no incentive for compliance.
Revisiting Isaac Asimov's 1964 predictions about 2014
Might work if there's a way to filter out the tech-savvy posers from the people that are actually tech-savvy. More charitably there's a wide range of tech to be savvy in. I've had a customer tell me they were a expert in last-mile access systems because they "are a expert WinSock programmer".

People that think they are tech-savvy but actually aren't tend to do things that are worse than the normal user and have a attitude about it. You can't afford to waste your Tier 2 rep's time or burnout points on them.

On the business side we do tag customers as tech-savvy but it's based a bit on trick questions. E.g. When assigning static IPs do they understand CIDR or do they insist on talking in terms of Class A/B/C subnets? Do they throw a fit about /31 subnets not being valid? Do they insist that a /32 subnet mask on their PPPoE connection is invalid and that the gateway can't be outside the subnet?

There's nothing worse than a IT consultant that presumes to know more than the ISP about running a network (they almost never do).

To a degree we use how much they pay for their connection as a proxy for knowledge. It seems like customers that optionally pay for higher end service or business products have a understanding of the business value of the connection and are pretty reasonable about their expectations.

Example: customer with a $3k Dedicated IP+BGP link that's called in for a outage and the call went "oh, outage? how long? ok, call me if you think it will take longer than that".
Customer with a $60 DSL calls in yelling and screaming about losing thousands of dollars in sales and such. We're like, really? Thousands of dollars a minute and you didn't see business value in a backup link, redundancy, or a SLA?

When I have a problem with my cable connection at home I focus on helping them get through their script as quickly as possible to reach the escalation or dispatch stage. If this means I'm dragging out a Windows 7 laptop because that's the fast path through their script, so be it.

Also factor in the huge one-time payout and how that's taxed at a higher rate than your normal big-company earnings. I know people who got hammered at Federal + California + special-California/Federal-taxes at 50%+ tax rate, all because the acquiring company decided to close a few days into 2013, when tax rates went up considerably, with special surtaxes to boot. A few days earlier would have cut the tax rate by a lot.

That tax is magnified if you don't pre-exercise for long-term capital gains advantages -- the whole liquidity event becomes straight income.
Nobody has mentioned it yet, so I feel obliged to link keyboard.io: http://www.keyboard.io/

They are currently in prototyping phase and they expect to go to Kickstarter this summer. I'm not from their team, I only want a good keyboard and this one looks promising.

I also own a Das Keyboard and I absolutely love the feel. But this "traditional" layout is just not good enough for today's typing-intensive professions. I have already experienced first RSI symptoms on both of my pinkies, so I'd like to try a true ergonomic keyboard.

DMCA 512(g)(2)(C)

If the copyright owner does not bring a lawsuit in district court within 14 days, the services provider is then required to restore the materials to it's location on its network.

Edit: You cannot contractually exempt yourself from portions of the DMCA. It either applies, and you are protected under the Safe Harbor provisions, or it doesn't and you are not.

This one is a bit different, I admit. I'm a web developer and this is my first venture into ecommerce. It's actually been a lot of fun working with my partner to develop and sell a physical product.

Any feedback is really appreciated.
Thank you. Our Stripe integration works through OAuth aka Stripe Connect. Basically, you click the Connect with Stripe button, create an account or sign in, and then confirm that you want to give Invoiced access to your account. We then generate a payment form for your invoices that your customers can pay you with, i.e. https://invoiced.com/username/cust_no/inv_no/payment. The payment goes directly to your Stripe account and we do not add any commission on top of Stripe's fee. This setup is ideal because you can revoke access from our service at any time and we only have access to your account through a unique token that Stripe provides us.

Our PayPal integration is even simpler. Just provide your e-mail address and we generate Pay via PayPal buttons for your invoices. Again, no commission.

-moz-filter: contrast(1000%);

(In fact, I don't know what that display:none is doing there now ... I'll have to look into it)

There may be some brilliant visual hack to get images to look more faithful ... but this was the best I could figure out.

So what does Nintendo do when the market for $50 games has evaporated? It's far too late to start looking at mobile and other markets at that point.

That's not true if you know about Japanese culture, where politeness is taken to a higher level than many other cultures (where a maybe means no).

imo this is a hard question that gets harder and harder to fight off

> As a fan of this company, I was reminded once again that Nintendo is, after all, a great company and still alive after seeing “Splatoon,” a new game announced at E3 that has been well-received by video game fans. The current stock price of Nintendo is, however, far from satisfactory, so I hope you will work hard to make an improvement. I would like Nintendo to maintain its solid business policy and not to turn to businesses such as the business of today’s social games, but I am concerned about the fact that young children today often use smartphones handed down from their family members to enjoy free games without additional payments. I do not think even Nintendo will be able to ignore iOS, Android or games playable on web browsers in the future. How much have you studied these factors, and how will you make use of them?

In places like the US and Germany, the question would probably be shortened to "I am concerned about the fact that young children today often use smartphones handed down from their family members to enjoy free games without additional payments. I do not think even Nintendo will be able to ignore iOS, Android or games playable on web browsers in the future. How much have you studied these factors, and how will you make use of them?"
That's an interesting view, but I strongly disagree.

I don't consider myself a feminist just because I want to advantage women. That would be pretty dumb, since I am a man. I consider myself a feminist precisely because I am interested in advancing justice and fairness, an endeavor that, given our history, requires particular focus on the situation of women. I would certainly not support a proposal that I knew to disadvantage men and advantage women unfairly. And I would hope that those who are more focused on men's rights would do the same. I frankly don't think that we will get very far if we take the adversarial approach that you describe, at least in part because women, for historical reasons, will inevitably be disadvantaged in that sort of process. In other words, the approach you describe -- if it is to be fair -- assumes that all parties arrive at the political barraging table with equal power. But that is very far from the case.

It may well be true that there are feminists out there (presumably women) who, like you, see themselves as engaged in a self-interested struggle against the opposite sex. But, speaking for my feminist friends, I don't think that is true of many, let along most of them.
A Safeway card is a loyalty card from a US grocery store. It's the kind of thing you have in your wallet if you live in the United States. If you're coming over on the visa waiver, you're explicitly saying "Don't worry, I am not an immigration risk, I'm just going to be here less than 90 days for business or pleasure and then go back to my permanent residence abroad. Establish a life for myself in America? No way, I have absolutely no interest in that."

There are a variety of easy ways for a CBP agent to have your wallet in his hands. One is giving it to him to show an ID, when you hand over your passport. As mentioned previously, that is not the required input for the state machine, so don't offer it.

You could take a look at the Centre for Disease Control's page about the issue, which includes a PDF with detailed breakdown of disease outbreaks linked to raw milk:

It's not particularly favorable to raw milk.

The same CDC report mentioned above, specifically address labelling, and points out that the numbers show that labelling is not shown to have significant effect.

I only recently joined Product Hunt, but to me the major differentiator is that Show HN are self-submitted products, while Product Hunt is a curated list.

Nintendo develops hardware to support their IPs just as much as they alter their games to take advantage of each generation of hardware.

Each generation of console adds a new method of adding input to the game. Each generation they evolve both evolve their existing IPs to best take advantage of the new hardware and develop their hardware to best support the development of their IPs. For example the C buttons for the N64 controller were added to solve the cameras issues encountered during the development of Mario 64.

This is lost on a lot people. The pairing of Nintendo hardware and software developed as a package to compliment each other is a huge part of Nintendo's success. Just look at the Mario service and see how many times its been reinvented using the same basic controls, running and jumping. All of those reinventions were developed in tangent with new hardware.

I suppose my point is, putting Nintendo's IPs on mobile or another console destroys what has allowed the IPs to remain so successful for so long. It would make both Nintendo's hardware and software less valuable.

Product Hunt is mainly focused on actual products, some of them pretty mature, while Show HN has also been about small pet projects / weekend projects / experiments.

I like them both, but as a developer I'm actually more curious about the experimental side of Show HN projects.

I'm not sure you understand. This repository is just a directory containing metadata; basically just a listing of Flask extensions, and their stewardship / author information. There is no intention to pull all Flask extensions into a single monolithic repository.

You can literally replace "seek privacy and security" with almost anything in that statement. I mean, out of all the people that prefer Coke over Pepsi, there are definitely some bad guys.

While your statement is true, it doesn't really give any justification on targeted spying. That is, unless of course, we consider the desire to hide things to be a signal of being a bad actor.

There is a huge difference between making a startup succeed and a sale that pays out to you.
