Are you saying Facebook don't have a term in their ToCs equivalent to "Facebook reserves the right to stop service or remove data for any or no reason at any time without any notice"?

Edit: they do.

https://m.facebook.com/legal/terms section 4 (termination):

Very similar to how GHC parallelizes work items/sparks/threads onto native threads.
Well I for one hope they put all of their API code up on github so the community can contribute to it. Just have to say, google's youtube api v3 is absolutely awful compared to the delightfully restful API of Github or Twitter.
His tone doesn't even come off even as just barely smug.

My take has been people who work with code build up a view of copyright that is completely biased by the way open source model works. A model where sharing everything benefits your peers, because most people using open source will generally make their living off of products or services that are built using those tools.

The end result of photography is not a tool, it is an original creative work that is how professional photogrpahers make their living. Besides the very limited scope of fair use there is no general benefit for the community to be able to freely use the creative works of others who have licensed that work as All Rights Reserved other than to be a cheapskate.

Take heart: If you're dating a Japanese girl that wasn't raised in Japan, you probably have nothing to worry about. If you are, you're still probably okay - she's already going pretty far outside of the usual "traditional" values.

If you're really that worried, you could just be an adult and talk to her about your concerns before you take the plunge and get married. You should probably be doing this anyway - what are your goals and dreams? What do you expect to change or stay the same after getting married? What are your long term plans? These sorts of questions should be fully answered by both parties before you tie the knot.
Second this, great feature. I've been waiting for a fork of Chromium or Firefox that will refuse to load http links, although in retrospect an extension would work better for that anyway.
I assume you mean you're confused on being downvoted. I did not think a downvote on your comment was warranted, so I gave it a corrective upvote.

In general, it's not worth worrying about one downvote; that one person did not like your comment enough to downvote it is a rather weak signal. There are a lot of users on HN. Other users (such as me) are also likely to give you a corrective upvote. It's when you get multiple downvotes that the signal matters.

>>> Our government’s copyright enforcement framework treats infringements as civil matters that generally require legal counsel.

I wish it did! Most infringement of a commercial work seems to incur criminal penalties (though you can recover civil damages as well).

You can update your bio to include name/contact info and email if you want to.
Use a ROM dumper! You need access to the original hardware, then the dumper reads out the chip.

To make a dumper you first need to find the ROM pinouts for the chips they used. This tells you which pins select an address, which pins output data, etc. Then, build a dumper (for example writing an Arduino program) that selects each address one by one, and outputs the response from the chip in a format your computer can read.
While his article talks about "commercial infringement", his FAQ doesn't say that he's restricting his suits to people who are using his work commercially, which is really interesting. In principle he could be suing a lot of people, which is great for him and a great way to subsidize an unusual and interesting creative endeavor.

I assume that Wild has registered copyright on all his works so that his firm can sue for statutory damages (easy) rather than actual damages (harder to prove).

Suppose Wild is reading Quora answers about insects and notices that someone has left a comment where they pasted in a photo from his Web site. Super easy to do. Also super easy for him to send an e-mail to his copyright contractor, and a free $750 (minimum) in statutory damages.

I have registered copyright on works before, very straightforward, opens some unusual opportunities. There's actually a great startup idea here:

(1) Create a large quantity of high-quality unwatermarked stock images.
(2) Register copyright on each work.
(3) Sell them on a web site and use search-engine marketing tactics to make it a really high ranking Web site.
(4) Wait 2.9 years, then sue every Web site and user who picked up the images.
I wonder if they use the protocol buffers definition to validate json over http, or they dupe schemas into json schemas or other format.

Why would the "Chinese government" carry out pervasive domestic censorship? They know information is still going to get around on back channels. That was never the point.

The potential gain is that they can extend this capability (and chilling effect) to GitHub and other sites that aren't under the sovereign control of China. Nobody wants to go out of business just because a user uploaded a file which is politically controversial in China. Now every company will think twice and come up with some weaselly reason why they can't have text files about Falun Gong or whatever.
$200 probably wouldn't cover lawyers fees. From an amoral perspective, there's a simple cost function: (cost to buy) vs (chance of being caught * cost of damages). If you don't make the cost of damages high enough then the behavior will continue. [0]

So what did you do about it?
Generally speaking I get the sense that HN readers are for an effective and efficient government. That's about as middle-of-the-road as you can get.

For anyone interested in living in a country where there is little to no government intervention are more than welcome to move to Central Africa to see what they're missing out on.
GitHub has the protection of the US Government, which has a vested interest in fighting the precedent that Chinese attackers are setting here.

Interestingly, this also gives China more bargaining power in its negotiations with the US about "cyber" issues

The Amiga offloads a lot of functionality to the custom chips, much like Atari 8-bit machines (ANTIC is an incredible piece of hardware design). I liked to compare the ST to the minimalism of the Apple II, but I agree, it's more like the C64.
Yes he does. Dealing with copyright infringement can be very expensive and time consuming.

Any Hackers work for Nonprofits?
Hi All, I'm looking to reach out to a few hacker's who've worked for - or currently work with, nonprofits.

We're trying to get a better grasp on the diverse workflow nonprofits use when making decisions that rely on tech. I.E. Building a Website, Making Changes, Adding Code for Google Analytics, PayPal etc.

What have been your experiences and what would you change?
For any open source project you can violate a patent completely unrelated to the author and be sued just the same. Heck, Microsoft probably makes money from Android than Google does.

Legal fees are likely more than $100 per image, so I imagine he's asking for licensing fee + legal fees + deterrent fee.

So probably closer to $1000, if not more.

Also, who said anything about morality? This is law, not philosophy. We're firmly planted on the 'is' side of 'is/ought', at this point.
Actually, IIRC, the games for STs were easier to write because the screen was not divided in bit planes but the pixels had all their bits together.
In addition to what others are saying I can't stress enough how important combinatorics are as well. Definitely spend some time trying to understand this area. From there move on to stochastic processes.
> $200 for a $100 photo is totally reasonable; $1000 and he has no moral argument.

How do you figure? I think 10x is an entirely reasonable penalty for stealing* someone's work instead of paying for it lawfully. The MPAA demanded $30,000 for a $0.99 song, which I would say is completely unreasonable. But 10x seems pretty inline with a non-excessive penalty.
I am in a problem solving mood. Termination can be proved for finite graph with sink as:
For every grain, compute its distance to the sink along the shortest route. For grains that entered the sink, use 0. Sort the values and put them in a vector. Note that there are finitely many possible vectors for a given number of grains and a given graph. Compare vectors lexicographically. With every topple at least one grain comes closer to the sink. This means that the vector decreases for every topple.
The reason I love make so much isn't because it's a super reasonable way to build projects, it's because it has the best interface for building projects in a way that can apply to all languages.

I wrap lots of other build tools in make, so that the way things happen always follows

make setup && make build && make (deploy || install)

No matter the underlying tools. It just makes getting started with one of the many dozens of repos we worth with easier.

He's licensing full-resolution digital images for around $400 a pop, so I'd say that asking infringers for a $1000 payment is easily fair and probably far too low. You are stealing his work and lawyers are not cheap.
The Xposed Framework (http://repo.xposed.info/) allows you to hook arbitrary Android functions. And APKs are pretty trivial to modify, though they can't be re-signed. Not sure if it's possible for Snapchat to prevent TOS violations, seeing as they need to put the pixels on your screen somehow.

I used Snapchat only briefly because it's horrible, but people enjoy continued success in saving dick pics etc. with the Keepchat Xposed module in current Snapchat versions.
Its also true for every currency that is a physically scarce and useful resource, though being such a resource (or, alternatively, being designated legal tender and demanded for tax and other payments by a large and significant government) substantially reduces the probability that belief that the currency is worthless will become widespread.
This is really impressive. There are several failed attempts at mailserver setups in the Docker registry.

I understand the need to have charge for more featureful setups. However, the free version is useless without DKIM and SPF support - outgoing mail will end up in spam folders.
The FAQ, in fact, says something very similar to what you claim it doesn't say:

> If the infringement appears on a personal blog, forum, or web page, I usually ignore it. If I have time, which I generally don’t, I may issue a takedown notice to remove infringing copies from personal sites most likely to feed downstream infringements. If the infringement occurs on a corporate or organizational webpage, product, broadcast, or similar, even if it is just a small internal image, I generally submit it to ImageRights.
If you want more Public Domain images of insects out there I'd suggest donating to the "Insects Unlocked" project. It is raising money on Utexas' kickstarter clone "HornRaiser".

Could it be done with a non-DOD site? If not, why not?

Could I make a website that immediately drops you onto a landing page that says "The rest of this website may only be accessed using Safari. Use of Firefox, Chrome, or any other software constitutes unauthorized access."?
Q. How do you decide to enforce a case?

If the infringement appears on a personal blog, forum, or web page, I usually ignore it. If I have time, which I generally don’t, I may issue a takedown notice to remove infringing copies from personal sites most likely to feed downstream infringements. If the infringement occurs on a corporate or organizational webpage, product, broadcast, or similar, even if it is just a small internal image, I generally submit it to ImageRights.
You can have space leaks without memory leaks (if you build up big enough thunks/delayed computations/promises or otherwise run out of heap space) and you can have memory leaks without space leaks (malloc 1 byte and lose its pointer).

It's OK if you don't understand the difference yet - you'll get it eventually - but there is a big difference.

In that case the value of a digital copy with of one of his photographs in full resolution with commercial license is about $350 (or more). That's what he charges and "The Market" is evidently willing to pay that.

Haha - no Frecent is a word :)

Frecency:
Frecency is a portmanteau of 'recent' and 'frequency'. It is a weighted
rank that depends on how often and how recently something occurred. As
far as I know, Mozilla came up with the term.

To z, a directory that has low ranking but has been accessed recently
will quickly have higher rank than a directory accessed frequently a
long time ago.

Frecency is determined at runtime.

> You're talking about people that are having intercourse, the least you could do is treat them as the adults they think they are.

That's pretty much exactly the point here though, no? I think we all agree it's reckless/irresponsible to make any decision without being adequately informed. All these apps can do is tell you "hey, we need more data from you if you want us to be accurate". Scientific terms don't need to be bandied about, but they can be tucked into KB/FAQ pages if people really want to delve. It simply becomes a UX issue at that point - driving people into regularly entering necessary information for accurate insights.

Our product tries to be very matter-of-fact, and treat our users with dignity and respect. Viva adulthood!
Oh, i loved this thing. Actually i even spoke with the developer. Hope to publish the interview soon. He was actually pretty open.
What bothers me more is there is no encryption from end-to-end. If i snap someone they're always going to be able to photograph their phone, if nothing else, but Snapchat aren't even trying to build trust wrt snaps in transit. If you look at the crypto they have deployed, it's nothing more obfuscation to prevent reverse-engineering. They treat the whole thing as a joke.

Only it's probably going to be twice as expensive as Google Fiber and it's still run by the worst company ever.
$200 might be reasonable if two things were true:

1) There was no legal expense
2) He catches at least 50% of the violators

In that case, he would at least make as much as if there were no violators. However, he has legal costs, and probably only catches a fraction of the violators.

So the equation should be something close to:

(Price charged for violation - legal fees) * % chance of being caught = Original price of image

I worry that the basic science pipeline is drying up in biotech. A lot of good people are leaving the field due to erratic funding situations and generally low income and poor career outlook. I left my PhD in biology and many of my fellow PhDs, even if they graduated, are looking outside of the field for jobs.

RNAi is an example of something that was discovered 'by accident' from basic and exploratory research. To add, a lot of novel discoveries can be made from studying natural habitats and organisms(PCR for example) and many of those are disappearing. Making bets on biotech is making a bet on a field where long term prospects look poor.
