What I think these anecdotes raise, and where it differs from my own experiences with the law, is the "Big Show" of litigation. Especially where jurors, witnesses, or court observers are involved - it's some fractional part

This is my personal view and it may not be popular but...I think any service that reduces legislation to a summary and asks for an upvote/downvote is doing a disservice to all but those who would only get superficially involved anyway.

How in the world did the automation become a reality without at least one new job having come into creation? Replacement is at least guaranteed (not obviously analogous by hours or skills required). The question is can we say that more no

by MWil 13y ago
The point is the workers themselves didn't become less valuable because people != their job. If your job is in danger of becoming less valuable, have more skills ready to go, gain more skills while you work, gain more skills quickly w

I don't feel like I'm reaching at all. I feel like I'm describing a pretty general truth. Job A gets replaced by Automation 1.0. Automation 1.0 required the labor of Jobs B, C, and D to become a reality. Now, not only can

First, I never even considered that you meant gallery in the traditional sense. Just sounds like that app I use all the time, ha! Second, I get that you are saying that this is some extra, additional, voluntary system - but I also don&#x27

Maybe it's net losing jobs because we don't teach people to imagine how they might automate their own job and prepare for the worst case scenario (a drop in the value of the job you're currently trained for). We teach people

I'm really confused by your argument. Who designs and implements the automated takedown system? YouTube Who enters content into the automated system such that it becomes a claim of copyright infringement and a takedown request? The con

it doesn't automatically follow that "finding ways to build our systems around fewer and fewer people" in a SPECIFIC area = a system for fewer and fewer people. What if the journey to automation elevated job positions to som

I haven't really seen the data to back up what you're saying and I base my comments only on the generalized fact that the automation didn't just drop out of the sky - it took some labor to get it there, it takes some labor to

From a certain viewpoint that's not even the problem. The problem is when a person doesn't gain value in other areas or have the opportunity to gain value in other areas, either on their own initiative or through the labor direct

Automation has always been an interesting topic to me. I wrote my upper level paper in law school on automation for a labor law class. Unless something has changed recently, the Supreme Court hasn't really addressed whether intention

Caveat: I am an actual lawyer, I'm just not providing any legal advice to anyone. "but they offer this tool to content owners that register with them. As such, it is not a DMCA takedown notice" The first part of what you said

Automation has never killed jobs, only dis[re]placed them.

by MWil 13y ago
Your example isn't really a good one because your friend isn't a service provider, she's an uploading user to a service provider. So yes, when you go right to the source user, you are somewhat circumventing the DMCA process

by MWil 13y ago
(1) yeah, that doesn't sound right to me. a DMCA takedown notice by any other name is still a DMCA takedown notice. the specifics that you might find in the statute are the floor (a minimum) so of course YouTube is free to develop th

Instead of the split-sharding of servers for people who enjoy different themes, I always thought a company should explore how much theme could be changed on the fly depending on the specific individual present in the environment. Example: I

Thanks for leaving it up. I often wonder how many good reads I miss and it's so hard to keep track even of which submitters I always find make enjoyable posts.

The second link is what I read first back in 2010. Found it through reading another book called Virtual Justice which you can get in pdf format for free (linked below). Apparently it was pre-LucasArts and still Lucasfilm. http:/&#x2F

I imagine many of your models need assistance with takedown requests/copyright issues on other sites. You guys should offer a takedown request service to them to let them know you have their back and care about them even when they&#x2
