That would be helpful and remove all the confusion.

The problem with collaborative filtering systems, whether based on personal preferences or on past purchases, is that you end up in a recommendation bubble. Seeing the same items recommended over and over again.

Over time the things I want to buy change. Perhaps because I had a major life event - got married, had a child, turned 50 and had a mid-life crisis, etc. The systems can't predict the timing of those because people don't do them on a schedule.
Google is a bully to say the least and they are not as open as you might think, i learnt this when my adsense account got suspended.
Google is extremely well known for poor customer service in account management. That should not surprise anyone at this point. Automated bans and automated denial of appeal are pretty par for the course from the stories I've read.

That said, I'm not sure I actually side with the author outside of that point of agreement. Looks like the apps were mega shady.

I would advise the author to (1) not place their trust in a corporation again, and to secure their business & personal affairs against single points of failure, (2) not make shady software, and finally (3) consult a lawyer on the implementation of the law and contracts.
Here you go.

The Description of the app clearly states that the app is not actually affiliated in any way with the original content creator.

So it's not really impersonation is it?

Plus they can always just request nicely for it to be removed if their really that bothered by it.

What is with this need of taking drastic measures for something as simple as this. Whatever happened to talking to the developer and sorting it out like gentlemen.
The text is in 15 U.S. Code § 1114.

Edit: We don't all live in the US so don't assume your laws apply to everyone.

I'm well aware that we don't all live in the US; I don't, either. But if you publish an app in an US marketplace, it's subject to US law.

He was definitely in the wrong (by using logos and names without permission for starters) and ignorant of basic trademark and copyright law (which many of us probably are too!), but I also worry about two things:

- Google's continued lack of communication (most everything is automated),

- and their ban-hammer (much like Paypal's, it can be terrifying for a small developer).

BTW, he added the following disclaimer to his app (not that it did much good):

"DISCLAIMER: The Verge TV App is not affiliated with The Verge. Information shown in this app is obtained through public YouTube APIs. We are fans of The Verge and we wanted a better viewing experience to watch their videos.

Any copyrighted material belongs to the original owners. If you want changes made to this app, please let us know."

Thanks for the clarification.

I tend to stay away from streams of consciousness. Its hard enough to debate a highly edited, clear and concise article. Streams of Consciousness have the advantage in that the author is probably more honest about his opinion... but often contradicts himself or has many weak or irrelevant points.

On the flip side, it is the author being completely open about his surface thoughts. By leaving himself vulnerable to so many attacks, the piece feels more like a conversation as opposed to an article.

In the modern world of "phrase sniping" and picking, its hard to debate such an article on its merits.

I can see the potential appeal of this writing style, but certainly not for any form of internet debate. It just doesn't make a good baseline for discussion, no matter how I look at it.

Here's the deal. When you're talking about physical stuff when I have it, you can't have it and vise versa. If you have a car and I steal it, you are denied the use of said car.

When it comes to copies of things, though, that all breaks down. When you make a movie and I make an illegal copy (I don't pirate things but let's suppose for a second) you aren't prevented from owning the movie any longer. You've lost a sale for sure, but I didn't just take the copyright away from you and now it's mine and I can sell it and you can't. But that's not even what this guy did.

What we're talking about here is the creation of an "unauthorized" front-end that uses public APIs to display things which are already public.

When you said "take" you're really abusing language in a preposterous way.

First of all nobody was denied use of anything so it's not STOLEN.

Second this content is already freely available on the web.

Third it's freely available via the generic youtube apps google publishes.

Fourth his app didn't download copies to his servers which it then served up (which would be copyright infringement) denying the originating youtube channels views or likes or whatever.

By your "packaging" logic anyone who embeds a bunch of a particular youtube channel's videos onto a webpage should have their servers nuked from orbit. That doesn't pass the laugh test.

https://www.google.com/search?q=youtube+embed+channel

If using an unauthorized front-end is really so naughty then why are people allowed to embed things?

Should youtube channel owners be able to dictate which browsers people are allowed to use to view their channels on youtube? Should they be allowed to say "IPv4 only" and disallow the use of IPv6? Should they have the right to dictate which networks are allowed to transport their video? Maybe their content should only be visible to Mac owners and sufficiently cool linux guys but under no circumstances should a windows user be able to view their video.

Mods would pay nothing. One person who owns the "domain" (sub-reddit) pays 10 dollars per year. And it was just some food for thought. I'm not advocating it, but reddit does need a better influx of cash then the gilding system I think.
This his the nail on the head. You need someone who can turn your vision into reality.

On thing to add is that you need to be very careful about governance. You need to be clear what the COO has authority on, and what they don't. You also need everyone to understand that when the COO speaks, it is as if you are speaking. You can achieve some of this by intelligently designing the reporting relationships. (Did I just advocate intelligent design?) You also have to do it by backing them up. If you give the COO orders, they execute them faithfully, people go around the COO, and then you backtrack, you will kill the COO's credibility.

Remember, two things degrade batteries - heat and load. The former more so than the latter, but they both go hand in hand. The heat is not a data point variable the author has I imagine, but he has a decent representation of state with the graph.

The first MBA seems to have more moments of "drained" battery, represented by the orange/red colours being more predominant on the left side of the graph. This may signify more load being placed on the first MBA than the second MBA.

The second MBA seems to have had an unusual beginning to its life - lack of daily data and perhaps being left in a discharged state rather than charged. Might have some play on the initial degradation of the battery's capacity, but probably not.

Sorry, but I don't see that happening since that would involve backporting Qt 5.3 as that is what upstream advises to use with Plasma 5, and backporting Qt5 is a huge hassle and a even bigger hassle to maintain the packages for the lifetime of the 14.04 release.

It's great to see such an awesome Perl project on HN, especially these days when most folks here write Python, Ruby and JS and love to make fun of those "nerdy old Perl hackers".

I mostly use Python these days myself but I'll never forget the sense of power that Perl gave me when I learned it back in the late 90s (prior to Perl I had programmed in Turbo Pascal and Basic). To most programming enthusiasts back then it was what Python is today: A great, easy-to-learn, fun language that let's you solve almost any problem with just a few lines of code, mostly thanks to a huge ecosystem of powerful libraries (CPAN). Granted, the object-orientation felt more like a hack than a normal language feature (because it was one), but all in all it's still a really great language and just as powerful as Python, JS or Ruby.

Both happen. It depends upon demand/output conditions at the time. France tends to use a lot of electric heaters during winter, for instance, which burns through most of their nuclear power output (which is nearly constant throughout the year). On sunny winter days, they import extra from German renewable sources.

I think during summer they might import more too. During overcast and wind-free days, Germany is probably a net importer of France's excess nuclear power.

> If Google does not inform you in detail that it was the trademark that was violated, they have no right to ban you on that reason.

It's up to you to make sure your business is legit before hand.Google doesnt owe you anything. It's their plateform. If you feel they violated contractual obligations, sue them. Just dont complain you were not informed. Misinformation can never be a proper excuse in any case.
You nailed it with "rest of the world."

The reality in the "developed" world and places like China, Brazil, and India is quite different. The U.S., Britain, etc. are experiencing widening income gaps, political and cultural stagnation, and a whole lot of pessimism and outrage about what seems to be an emerging future that looks like The Hunger Games. In America it seems that if you're not in the top 5% of ability and connections or 1% of income, the future's not for you... or at least that's the perception. I think we're in something like a second Gilded Age, and it's going to end much like the first: a wave of economic leftism and wealth redistribution. I already see the tide shifting hard in that direction.

The "developing" world inhabits a totally different reality. They're seeing narrowing income gaps, growing opportunity, and a lot of political change and uncertainty. Everyone in China thinks there's gonna be some kind of revolution at some point, for example, but nobody's sure what it will look like.

It's an exploration vs exploitation trade-off. They are just predicting the things you are most likely to buy and suggesting those. But you also want to throw in things which you are less likely to look at, but if you do it gives them more information to make better suggestions. And then as you mention, account for the fact people are dynamic and change over time.

This isn't trivial but it can be done.
"Applicants must pay 195,000 roubles to enter the competition"

How on Earth is $110,000 a reasonable value for this level of vulnerability? (And with a multi-thousand dollar up front cost to boot.) I'm not remotely an expert on security, much less nefarious black-market hacks, but I would think that a whole lot of nations around the world would be willing to pay millions (each!) for this capability. Heck, if not for this, I would have included Russia on that list.

The filters used in the article are meant to be applied on linear sample streams. A RAW image is not a linear sample stream.

For the mc geeks, two node.js projects: nmp and mineflayer.

(1) NMP: node minecraft protocol
(2) mineflayer: minecraft bot API

The first project is what mineflayer uses to communicate with minecraft servers, and it's usually behind when a minecraft release comes out.

The second project is a bot API that uses it, with some interesting plugins (such as navigate, that uses the A* algorithm). Some of the things that are missing from that project are higher functioning routines, such as inventory management, a flexible work queue, a command control panel.
Aside from the legal and policy issues, as a user this stuff can be pretty annoying. You just want say the Facebook app and you have to wade through half a dozen spam apps saying Facebook in their name before you get to the real one. With facebook it's fairly obvious but if you are trying to download some app you don't know well it's easy to get a bogus one by mistake.

I don't believe Strider[1] is very well known. At least, I don't see discussion of it often despite over 1k stars on GitHub It's a continuous integration/deployment server written in JS, but with support for building projects in many different languages.

IMO Russians intend to make their venture profitable.
Sounds like a COO to me?
maybe that is their goal. Perhaps they want to (or already are) use(ing) tor to hide their own activities from the NSA. They want to make sure what they are doing is truly as secure as it claims to be and if not motivate devs to make it so. After all, it seems it would be cheaper to offer this small reward than to have to pay full time employees to help keep their activities secure from prying eyes.
