Everyone is just frustrated that Craigslist charges so little for their services and hasn't tried to monetize it in some abuse way like a typical capitalistic company would.
So:

- don't issue pull requests for multiple projects

- don't keep mental track of the status of those pull requests.

- don't worry about breaking clients

- don't worry about the logistical/scheduling issues of multiple teams

Craigslist is a very cool company. They are basically a communistic approach to the internet. I say all the more power to them. If someone can do better than free, go right ahead.
You're confusing separate jurisdictional issues. Personal jurisdiction is relevant to the underlying lawsuit, because it can nullify a judgement.

Personal jurisdiction isn't very relevant to an enforcement proceeding, as presumably it is filed in the state in which the defendant is located. For a business, this generally means any state in which it is incorporated, registered as a foreign corporation, or has facilities such as (but not limited to) offices or factories. If a court doesn't have personal jurisdiction over a defendant in an enforcement proceeding, that simply means the plaintiff needs to file again in the proper venue.

I don't know the specific facts of this case, but the communistic element has been at the center of some similar cases. Anyone is/was allowed to use Craigslist data to make apps as long as they aren't doing it for profit. And every year people agree to these terms, but later get their access yanked when they decide to start running display ads or whatever.

Go + gxui: Rendering native app GUIs on any platform?
Those training algorithms should accomplish the same goal, but backpropagation (or some variant) turns out to be the best choice for the kind of network shown here (large, non-recurrent), because it directly uses the learning gradient, while evolutionary methods don't usually make use of this information. I'm not a researcher in this area, but I'm quite sure you'd have a bad time going with pure evolutionary methods for this kind of network.
I believe it was my 2010 article that was the first to highlight law enforcement obtaining cell site dumps:

http://www.cnet.com/news/feds-push-for-tracking-cell-phones/
"When the FBI was stymied by a band of armed robbers known as the "Scarecrow Bandits" that had robbed more than 20 Texas banks, it came up with a novel method of locating the thieves. FBI agents obtained logs from mobile phone companies corresponding to what their cellular towers had recorded at the time of a dozen different bank robberies in the Dallas area. The voluminous records showed that two phones had made calls around the time of all 12 heists..."

I'd be surprised if the FBI didn't do the same thing today, as a very bare minimum.
Well, only sort of. The 38 was a radical departure, and is the the true root of this series.
As for "microservices", part of the problem is that the UNIX/Linux world has historically sucked at interprocess communication. Everything looks like a pipe, and you have to build something that works like a subroutine call on top of it. (Yes, there's System V IPC, which nobody uses.)

What about Datagram UNIX sockets using sendmsg/recvmsg? I've implemented a simple RPC using them and it seemed fine.

I'm not caught up on this case, but,

1. Why is that? I think the most relevant field of US law with that sort of provision is trademark law, which shouldn't have been at issue here at all (3taps and Padmapper were not pretending to be Craigslist or authorized by Craigslist). Copyright law, which is sorta relevant, does not have such a provision. If your song gets pirated, you can sue only the pirates named Fred without losing your right to sue. The CFAA, which is definitely relevant here, does not have such a provision: JSTOR does not have their hands full with CFAA cases against everyone who ever sent an article to a colleague or friend.

2. What prevented Craigslist from giving a straightforward license and API to Padmapper? That would have sidestepped any such concern, without setting a precedent that everyone else must get API access. I think it's pretty clear from this case that they did not want to see Padmapper exist, and regardless of whether they were obligated to sue and try to shut them down, they clearly wanted to sue and shut this particular application down.
Thanks for the correction! The website has gone through several changes recently.

Craigslist is a great example of how network effects can be leveraged to form the basis for a sustainable competitive advantage. The product is an embarrassment and yet it has users simply because it has users. Newmark knows this and that's why he sues anyone who sniffs in the general direction of his data. I think he's a self-serving fink.
Someone CAN do it better AND for free.

Check out Nextdoor.com. I've been using it for a while and it's better in literally every single way. It's now just a matter of time while they scale.
That describes a perfect system in which visibility is always optimal, and there is never any such thing as inclement weather, network delays, mechanical failure, proprietary software, manufacturers cutting corners, blind spots or false echoes or any of the thousands of ways things can also go wrong with a system as large, complex and interconnected as that might be.

Sort of like the way "cyberspace" was described in sci-fi as sort of like virtual reality or augmented reality or Project Xanadu, while in practice what we got is is a document layout format with a half-assed Scheme tacked on to spite Microsoft, what gets implemented is usually always the minimum viable product.
I find it telling that that only Texas city listed was Galveston.
That is such a cool concept! Good luck with the hiring.
That's wrong.

You are responsible for paying taxes in any jurisdiction in which you have sufficient nexus to justify taxation. For individuals, residence is the generally accepted means for establishing residence, but some states also use employment as a nexus (such as New Jersey). For businesses, nexus is much broader, and generally includes any state in which the business is incorporated or registered to do business, any state in which it has facilities or employees, and (for sales and GST taxes) generally any state in which a customer is located.

The Chicago tax would be most similar to a sales/GST tax. Under well-established state and local tax principles Netflix, et al, could generally be required to collect the Chicago tax on sales/services to Chicago customers.
Chicago institutes “cloud tax,” taxing streaming services like Netflix and Spotify
Please forgive me if the title isn't 100% accurate. After thinking about it, this possibility of combining both native and web view rendering seems like it could be an interesting approach for a wide variety of potential use-cases.

How much scrap metal is there in a fiber optic cable?
Have you used Padmapper? It was better than free. It was much nicer than Craigslist for the same queries, but -- because of Craigslist's size and entrenched position -- the data largely remained on Craigslist, despite Padmapper also having a free posting interface. That might be fair business, but it certainly wasn't a fair comparison of their products or philosophies.

Your analogy of communism may be entirely too apt, given how communism played out in practice last century. Sure, you got the overthrow of the capitalist economy, but if you were a tiny country who didn't really want to agree with Moscow on everything, sucks to be you.

Craigslist charges for job posts in competitive markets; the posts disappear after thirty days.

I charge nothing for listings at http://www.warplife.com/jobs/computer/ and they are permanent.

Among my objectives is to eliminate the corrupting influence of money from technical hiring.

In the long run I want to cover every occupation in which one can find a job by applying through the employer's website.

I won't monetize it in any way. Or perhaps I could say I will monetize it by offering my consulting services through my website, as I always have. Providing free content on my site results in sales leads.

I'm sure there are professional grade outfits, but many illicit metal scrappers I know are desperate and might take anything they perceive to have value.
Also not relevant here because Padmapper was taking data from Craiglist (and presenting it in their own format), and copyright only covers creative works, not raw data. See Feist v. Rural and friends. This was a CFAA case.

If parent wanted to say that all publicly-accessible web pages should be considered legally scrapeable without triggering federal cybercrime legislation ... sure, I think that's a reasonable point of view, and roughly the EFF's point of view in this case. If, in the process of scraping and reusing data, you are infringing copyright (or breaking a civil contract, or whatever), that can be dealt with on its own, not by criminalizing the scraping.
> The product is an embarrassment and yet it has users simply because it has users

The product is bare bones, but it works just as well as it ever has, which is a heck of a lot better than many web applications from the last 10 years, loaded down with animations and piles of tracking javascript and auto-playing video ads and broken reimplementations of standard browser features.

Personally I find it works better for me than most google web properties since about 2008 (e.g. the new versions of gmail and google maps), better than recent versions of facebook, better than yelp, better than a lot of current newspaper websites, etc. There’s something to be said for plain html websites.

I do wish craigslist would let other people scrape their pages and provide alternative user interfaces though. Pad mapper was a great help when I needed to look for an apartment several years ago.

Communist as in it's all mine? It seems like the means of production here is the data they 'publish' and they've been very clear who the owners of that are -- craigslist and no one else.

Their aggressively litigious nature makes it difficult for others to compete and provide better services. It's difficult to penetrate the network effect juggernaut if you can't scrape their existing ads.

Long compile times and bloated binaries do come with the platform for C++, but (with experience) you get pretty good at minimizing both of those with little effort. This also tends to lead to a fairly clean dialect of C++ (closer to C), and has higher performance code as well. It basically boils down to not really using templates.

That means no stl or boost, but (and this is not a popular opinion at all) this tends to lead to cleaner code, and more productive programmers.

My experience is that templates do allow for more code reuse than you can typically get in other languages, however they do so at a high complexity and maintenance cost -- not to mention binary bloat and long compile times.

I'll grant you that the basic functionality works. It ought to given that they've barely changed it in like 15 years. It's fine if they don't want to change it, but they've stifled -- through legal channels -- many frustrated attempts to enhance the product -- like cease and desists to dude's doing simple mapping visualizations for example. I think they're bullies with their position and it has served no one but craigslist. The network effects they wield create monopoly-like conditions and they use the court's to retain them.

MacOS is the new Windows
I'm typing this on my late 2010 MacBook Air. Recently I was starting having problems with it (you know when you type your password and the system does not recognize your key presses, etc.). And I thought, “Oh, ok, I have to accept that we live in a world of planned obsolesce (how else faster-than-a-gigahertz multi-gigabyte-RAM machine could become slow? If it is capable of real-time response to user's actions, it should respond in real-time) and I have to upgrade to get my job done”.

So I switched to this new aesthetically marvelous wonder: an early 2015 13 inch MacBook Pro.
In 5 days I'm using it the machine restarted two (or three?) times "because of problems" though it has much less software installed than my old rock-stable-in-comparison MacBook Air. And now I'm installing an OS update which already restarted my system twice. First it restarted the system, than it said, “Ooops, I cannot verify the update”, fiddled with it for several more minutes, restarted-downloaded-restarted... Why didn't in verify update before restarting in the first place?

Thank you, Apple. But could you please stop shooting things with zirconium particles (seriously, “ordinary” polishing works fine for me) and return to your heritage of making a hassle-free unified experiences? (And also please give us back an iPhone that could fit in a pocket because the certain Asian markets are not the only things out there. When you broke the continuity of your design between the iPhone 5S and the 6 it was as if Porsche suddenly stopped making cars in its tradition and started copying BMW or whatever. But that's up to you, actually). And I'm waiting till my “Magic” mouse reconnects to my new shiny “Pro” machine (it gets disconnected several times a day though it is 20 cm apart and battery is near 100%) and getting back to work. Have a nice day!

Are developers often proud of their code? I'm pretty sure most developers who open up their projects to the world and say "look at what I built" are proud of the result of their code, not the code itself.

I'm not sure I've ever met a developer who is genuinely pleased with their code beyond a nice implementation of an algorithm or a neatly abstracted class. Most of us are deeply, sometimes overly, modest and humble about how readable our code is.
