Because they make their takedown process incredibly longwinded and kafkaesque. Not only did Destin promptly file his claim, but many of his fans repeatedly contacted facebook and Bauer about it.

The fact that it took so long for either to even acknowledge the problem existed is evidence that facebook has little incentive to speed up the takedown process to a reasonable bureaucracy.
It's really cool to see all of this interest in Forth. I think when I learned Forth, it made me a significantly better developer over all; it's also an awesome base for DSLs and really a fascinating paradigm.
Your tone is antagonistic, and so I'll answer in kind.

"We need radically better ways to think, organize, and communicate" is a load of unsubstantiated nonsense. We can contact, point-to-point, basically anyone in the developed world on a whim. We can do so with text, audio, and/or video. The communication problem is pretty well solved--it's just not distributed yet, and even then there is a question of whether it should be.

Your sequence? Talking, writing, printing, radio, computers, internet? We've been slowly backsliding on all of that as people become lazier and lazier with their communications (see twitter/vine), and more eager in their use of filter bubbles. Hell, it's getting to the point where even that basic "talking" thing is hard...just watch how many people at a restaurant spend their time with their face stuck in their phones. There's your communication. There's your progress.

This "is anyone ambitious anymore?" line is just complete self-indulgent bullshit. People are building drones, people are building rockets, people are curing cancer, people are trying (with mixed results, sigh) to fix healthcare, and all sorts of things. Just because those people aren't working on your pet little issue doesn't mean you should demean their work.

Seriously, get over yourself.

ARC won't work when you cannot determine ahead of time where the cycle can end safely. Pretty sure for an interesting set of algorithms this is a problem.

It's something I find annoying about some ARC/Rust enthusiasts: their belief that because they haven't found need for a GC, that there isn't one.

Yeah, it's really fun to prognosticate about where things are headed, and before too long. I was talking with my 16 year old daughter about this the other day. My off-the-cuff speculation was that in her lifetime, she'd find that her environment would react to her presence. Lights, doors, environmental controls, music, would all just be there without her direct control. The car would pull itself out of the garage and await at the front door and when she hopped in, take her to the optometrist without any direct instruction from her.

Well.. maybe her iPhone 14 would have an optometrist app by then....

When I was in college and university I worked at one of the big supermarkets. There were many 'lifers' there, usually middle-aged women who had raised a family and were bored of being at home all day. At the time the minimum wage for me was under £5 as I was under 22, but I got £6 per hour and £9 on Sunday and bank holidays - this was in a relatively cheap part of the country, I believe they paid more in London.

The benefits were also pretty good compared to what I have had in corporate life since. If you wanted to go up the ladder the company provided training schemes to get you into supervisor and management roles - I think a degree was only required for the top levels, but again they provided support for that if that's what you wanted to do.

At £9 per hour this 'living wage' works out to be a salary of £17,500. Considering as a developer in some parts of the UK £35,000 is a good salary, that seems pretty decent given this is for unskilled labour.

IP was existed literally to protect the fact that it's very expensive to produce an original idea/work/poem/video/etc. but very cheap to reproduce it.

Reproduction getting cheaper only makes IP even more necessary.

No, you have to explicitly request an increase.

See this page: https://cloud.google.com/appengine/docs/quotas#Mail

"The daily email quota for billing-enabled apps depends on which billing system your app is using. See Increasing your Daily Mail Quota below to learn how to increase the quota in each case."

Once you go to the referenced page (https://cloud.google.com/appengine/docs/quotas#up_mail_quota), you find this:

"When you enable billing, the email quota remains at 100 messages per day. You must explicitly request a higher mail quota. Go to the Quota Details page of the Admin Console and scroll to the Mail section. There you'll find a link to submit a request for additional email quota. After you submit the request you can monitor its status by visiting the same link again. This will display a page that shows the status of the request: whether the request has been granted, is under review, or has been denied. If the request is granted it may be several minutes before the new quota of 20,000 messages per day takes effect. If the request is denied you cannot make another request to increase mail quota until some time has passed.

If your app needs to send more than 20,000 messages per day, you can sign up for a support package which entitles you to ask for a higher quota."

>Is there absolutely no other possible way that such works could get funded without an individual person buying only one individual copy of that work to post-hoc fund it in aggregate?

That has very little to do with the matter described in the article - the "system" that exists today that the channel in the OP used doesn't require an individual person buying one copy - users can already watch the content for free on YouTube. The "system" that you are assuming "the mere existence of such systems are assumed impossible" already exists, its called YouTube (at least in one version).

What the poster was advocating is relinquishing IP, which is very different from "an individual person buying only one individual copy of that work". Consider that FOSS ecosystem is held together by licenses. Would it make sense if a movie exec came along and said "we are going to use his software, not give any credit, nor contribute changes because software developer's notion of IP is outdated?"
The thing with ARC is that you mostly only have to use the weak keyword for delegates (and in certain data structures, etc); it becomes totally second nature and intuitive, you only have to think about it once in a blue moon. It's actually just as productive. And worst case with ARC (while admittedly unbounded) is you forget a weak keyword and you leak some memory.

The problem is that you're asserting it's significantly more burden on developers to use the 'weak' keyword once in a while (totally intuitive, second nature) but that GC doesn't have it's own issues. In my experience that's just not true.

In my experience getting hit once with a resource that just won't get deallocated for some reason because of a non-deterministic lifecycle is just as big a productivity hit to developers. Probably worse since they're so much harder to track down than using the static analyzer or running the 'leaks' tool.
This was a fun read. Stuff I found interesting:

1. The shift from cheaply produced, low quality content, to higher quality "must see" shows. It is definitely the must see shows that have drawn me to HBO and Netflix. I don't just randomly watch whatever's on HBO--I have it for Game of Thrones, Silicon Valley, etc.

My use of Netflix is a little more dual-purpose though; there's certainly Netflix-produced shows that I like a lot, but I often find myself nostalgically surfing Netflix to watch old shows like ST:TNG, or to watch favorite movies again. Even though HBO and the different TV providers offer on-demand viewing, there's something about their offerings that makes me much less likely to browse their libraries and watch random content. The paradox is that Netflix's UI is on average worse than theirs, so my preference of browsing shows on Netflix is not a usability thing, it's an emotional thing.

2. The comments about how Netflix has commoditized time since we no longer have to watch shows at a certain time each week. And how this is borne out by their strategy of releasing all episodes at once for shows they produce. I've found, like the author, that releasing them all at once reduces some of the fun and anticipation of watching a new episode and talking about it with your friends. I've also noticed that I tend to binge watch shows when new seasons drop, and tend to fast forward through less exciting parts of the episodes a lot more than normal, since I feel I have to get through the whole season so I can talk about it with my friends. I get really impatient by the time I'm 80% through the season. But at least this shows how aggressively they are committed to giving people their time back and letting them consume the content on their own schedule.

3. I had no idea HBO was producing so many projects at once. Hollywood Reporter said they are working on over 100 projects right now. I didn't consider that Netflix and Amazon could position themselves not just as alternatives to people who couldn't get a seat with HBO, but could also potentially produce the show and get it online faster (e.g. steal good projects from HBO with the promise of fast results, not just taking their rejects). I still think HBO will on average produce higher quality shows for quite some time since they have so much practice at it, but it sounds like they are spread very thin. I would love to read some analysis on how HBO produces their shows and what their org structure is like there.

One thing to take into account is that the more people who use your product, the more likely they'll push it where someone else can foot the bill. If someone learns Java or ObjC/Swift, because they can't afford to use Xamarin that means that individual will be less likely to recommend it at companies they work at. If it followed more of a Unity model it could cause a cycle where people start pushing out more things to support Xamarin, which causes more people to pick it up, which causes more people to recommend its use. It is why so many startups focus on user acquisition to create this gigantic tipping point.

I worry more communication could be a problem until we can deal emotionally and compassionately with vastly greater interdependence — right now I think it is causing significant compassion fatigue and fear:

"Instead of tending towards a vast Alexandrian library the world has become a computer, an electronic brain, exactly as an infantile piece of science fiction. And as our sense have gone outside us, Big Brother goes inside. So, unless aware of this dynamic, we shall at once move into a phase of panic terrors, exactly befitting a small world of tribal drums, total interdependence, and superimposed co-existence." - Marshall McLuhan

I think that the key to the next step in communication would have to be drastically more transhuman than the internet — telepathy will be rather trival compared to multithreaded cyborg thinking: first, there will be the ability to learn nigh instantly, using implants and interfaces, what once took real-time experience — this will destroy the education industry, "persuasion" as it is currently misconstrued, and hence the civilizing process as we know it as fast as the technology permeates; second, there will be thoughts never before possible — thoughts as shattered and reintegrated as a Kierkegaard's — passion and reason playing off each other, but both raised to new heights simultaneously. In the mind, medium and message are indistinguishable - thus telepathy requires more interesting minds to be of more interest.
Great job! It seems really interesting. Re: work, I sent you an email.

It's only obvious if you assume that writing code without a GC is harder or takes longer.

Have you used a language that supports automatic memory management but without a GC for any length of time?

I love working in cafes and have done it a ton. Every so often someone tries a radical variation on the basic model, but it almost always feels awkward and doesn't last long. One that I was surprised to see actually work, though, is the Workshop Cafe in SF's financial district. Their model is much what you described. It's a cross between a huge café and a big office, which ought to be terrible, but manages not to be. The coffee is good and the internet is very good. And it's often pretty busy, so I guess people are using it as intended.

"Not through a web application vulnerability it can't (there is no application code to break!)."

This isn't true. Data is being served up to web browsers over port 80. That's a web server. It might not be like any web server you've ever run ... it might not be apache or thttpd or zeus or whatever ... but there is code that is spitting out HTTP over port 80/443. That's a web server.

So let's say the S3 data is immutable, as far as the "web server" and the attacker are concerned ... that's very nice, of course, but if you have control over the web server, instead of parlaying that into control over the underlying data, just tell the web server to spit out other data.

The S3 content is still safe and unchanged, but your website is nicely defaced, since your "amazon s3 webserver" exploit is just feeding it new content.

(drastically oversimplified, of course - but be clear, if there is a web server (and there is) there is web-server-attack-surface)

Yes and no. Facebook can be forced to take down the content (this is the purpose of DMCA takedowns), so they are not protected from that. As for damages, no - you have to go after the person who posted it, in this case the scumbag assholes at Zoo.
>Even though HBO and the different TV providers ... The paradox is that Netflix's UI is on average worse than theirs, so my preference of browsing shows on Netflix is not a usability thing, it's an emotional thing.

I would disagree very strongly with regard to Netflix vs HBO UI. HBOgo tries much too hard for a stylish UI, but makes it more difficult to find the things I want to watch. Relative to netflix, their search is very literal and slow, they make no attempt to remember which series I'm rewatching at the time, they can't seem to remember which episode I'm on in that series or what place I paused in a given episode, and the act of trying to jump to a certain time in the video randomly sends me back to the beginning.
