He's not personally consuming - he's playing the music in public for the purposes of performance (the audience) and broadcast (he knows it is being recorded)! This is willful and flagrant infringement.

No, the US gets this right, and this case would be thrown out promptly were it in American jurisdiction (well, presumably - I don't know the extent of the "trolling" since the article is scant on detail, but I assume it'

Maybe not malicious per se, but certainly I'd be concerned about seemingly-correct but actually-wrong code being suggested. Considering how often the top StackOverflow answer is slightly wrong or how often antipatterns crop up across v

Well, it probably is explicitly copying at least some subset of the source text - otherwise the code would be syntactically invalid, no?

By settling, they would be enabling the cycle of abuse. This is as good as "you could always pay the bitcoin ransom." OP needs to contact the EFF and knock this down in court - it's the only way to push back against insane so

Well, the marketing of these vulnerabilities was also bombastic and hyperbolic, so it follows that the retorts should employ similar language so they are taken just as seriously.

I like the Run dialog and the folder properties menu and others that have been untouched since the early days. Their utility has been proven and so much muscle memory has been built up. I can not possibly imagine a revision that could be

Thanks for Let's Encrypt, it's truly an admirable service. I'm curious regarding "certificate compliance" - I thought the 90-day expiration was merely a Let's Encrypt policy to encourage good automation. Is thi

I'm sure that if TikTok reimbursed a creator for content that was disparaging/illegal, the chain of suit would involve both the creator and TikTok. Barring complex indemnification agreements in whatever contracts were signed. S230

There is no "admission you're a publisher," it's a meaningless concept with respect to the laws that are on the books. The law is: hosts of user-generated content can remove that content at their discretion, and still no

It's especially bad because the holier-than-thou attitude broke real, commonly-used websites , the Chrome team was made aware of the use cases, and they just didn't care. For example, Chrome tried auto-completing my home address i

One day browsers will natively support modules and "Bundle Splitting" as the article calls it will just be the intuitive and automatic thing to do. Until then we have webpack.

This now marks the 2nd time we are "letting" this company fix the same mistake, and it gets harder to assume good faith when the same issue crops up repeatedly. Calling out poor engineering is not prohibiting them from fixing it.

It's news to me that fully fixing a bug constitutes an "astoundingly high standard for successful collaboration." I consider that a baseline expectation, across my 14 years and 5 different companies of industry experience. I

This actually definitely moved it to "not in a million years" for me. What kind of clown show engineering team makes this kind of oversight? They knew there were profiles that would be part of the old 12-month delay feature (and i

Yeah, the "Bad #2" example, how Chrome does it, makes perfect sense and seems correct to me. Modifiers get removed when the character they're modifying is removed. I would say leaving the modifier and applying it to the pre

If you were trying for real bias in your cropping algorithm, I would suspect training it on what the average, unconsciously-biased user thinks is the best crop nearly guarantees it.

My intuition is that a great lighting+microphone+speaker setup is necessary, but not sufficient, for this demo. Even from viewing the short demo, the stereo display alone is an entirely new dimension that no amount of studio lighting will r
