I think you're right, this is a great way to move forward, especially if it's possible to put a bit of distance between the old youtube-dl and the new project. Hopefully, it wouldn't require as much effort as when a lot of th

It's git - what do you need low-latency for? Download directories, trees, as the initial requests, then send a second request for the source code you want to download. Then the bottleneck is download speed instead of latency.

So it looks like the takedown notice has nothing to do with the actual developer of youtube-dl. I.e., the developer could distribute their code somewhere else and the RIAA would be left playing whack-a-mole.

To me, that comment and response looks like a microcosm of how economics does, or doesn't, understand its subject matter.

When there's a 40 (mars) or 80 (jupiter) minute delay that's guaranteed, it sounds like a unique form of a time lock. Put your private pgp key in a 24 hour time delay circuit and guarantee that no one can do a decryption in the in

Wasn't that how it was designed? Even the term 'miner' was based on gold mining. I think the only difference is that gold used to be the currency itself, not just what backed the currency, and BTC tried to be both.

Eh, it might. Would probably rejuvinate the field. There's a lot of advances in digital signal processing that could be applied to those bands. The limitation on encryption would have to be lifted first, and maybe the commercial lim

As I mentioned, it's for multiple different gmail accounts. Same url, different containers.

Yup, that's exactly what I do right now as well.

Containers are awesome. Still waiting, though, for when I can set bookmarks to use a specific container. I have a few different gmail accounts and it would make accessing them a lot easier (having containers at all is already a huge improve

That's true. Didn't think that part through. Still, even in cases where there isn't overt jamming or filtering, it seems like the ability to set up direct, long-distance connections would make a big difference in how the inte

I don't think they necessarily would be - but they're another option, and they're harder to block since there isn't a cable to physically cut.

I'm slowly coming to the conclusion that the Internet is decentralized, and in a far more fault-tolerant fashion than the meshnet-of-the-day. The fact that anyone can fire up a server and make it accessible to anyone else on the Int

That's true. I guess what I didn't really say explicitly is that I don't think there is a 'local pronunciation' in the case of English. French and Saxon seem to have merged on equal terms, where neither was sufficie

I'm interested, but it seems like you'll need more than buzzfeed news as a source if you're claiming that Stanford scientists are unreliable.

I wonder if the argument you've highlighted is a good idea, or a particularly dangerous one. Maybe we should discuss it and find out. Or maybe we should call what you're saying 'propaganda' and ban it outright, since i

Most of the methods listed there were listening for the EM of the TV being on, not the reciever antenna. Technically, it sounds like they wouldn't be able to tell the difference between pirated TV and watching a movie on the VCR.

I think the odds are pretty good. There's a lot of smart & motivated people who really like the internet, who would probably go a long way to replace it.
