That's so unnecessary. If Apple wants to fend off rivals, then just stop treating podcasts as second class citizens and built tools for creators, including detailed analytics. I'm not talking about the type of analytics that Googl

It actually has nothing to do with "fun". As I mentioned in my other comment, we don't expose our database publicly and nobody but us can see that a video is unlisted. It would beat the purpose of our service would we delay o

We don't expose our database publicly and we have no discovery mechanism. Also I don't believe unlisted videos are considered to be private. There is a private setting which disallows for public to see such a video. And finally, i

We [0] index YouTube actively and see way over 5.5B videos [1] at this point. We catch a lot of unlisted videos and we did try to figure out how is that possible in the past. It seems that a lot of users will upload video which is by defaul

That's actually not true. The original laws were enacted exactly to protect individual composers. Copyright law is old, more than 300 years old [0]. Corporations exploited it the most, as they do with any opportunity, but that doesn&#x

Copyright as a legal concept is fairly old and the perception on it changed a lot within the history. For instance SACEM [0] was established 170 years ago in France. The general idea was to allow creators and rights holders to control their

Isn't that the premise of our society? Ownership, money, ... All of it highly artificial and it only exists as long as we allow it to. Copyright is more than just a stick that many people see. Copyright is first and foremost an attribu

ArangoDB is fine, but dgraph [0] can scale easily to that size (we have order of magnitude larger graph). In reality, you can use any resilient key/value store and use hexastore [1] as a storage format. For instance JanusGraph [2] has

Years ago, when I lived in Boston, when Summer arrived, half of the city went on water or did something outdoors. When I moved to CA, there was no such pattern as there is "Summer" the whole year around. I'm wondering how dif

What you reas as a snark was just a point. He called the library obscure. Don’t believe many others would use that description. I quoted it to make a point not to take a stab at him. Same goes to this conversation. While you attack me perso

I don’t think any company specifies exactly the job requirements as there are many, especially as the job progresses. The point of the assignment is to see how well can you deal with new challenges. Interestingly enough, other developers we

I don’t know which position you interviewed for, but my guess is one involving javascript, as it’s, I believe, the only one where we ask to use a library. If that’s the case, the “obscure” library is immutable.js [0], one with mere 27k+ sta

Good question. We still experiment with where we hire. If you look at my previous posts, we used to hire anywhere in US but trying to narrow it down to just couple of our physical offices.

What made you to pick Chromaprint? Also why did you pick Scala over lets say Kotlin? I love the idea that you pick a project and re-implement it (or its bindings) into another language in order to learn it. That's how I usually do it,
