You'd obviously need images for implementing a YouTube app (e.g. for thumbnails, icons, avatars), and the HTML subset reference[0] lists jpeg, png and webp as supported formats. Is it possible that images are to be shown using the vide

You can't start the timeline from the first email, because clearly Cloudflare didn't communicate the actual issue to the customer. (Yes, the customer could be lying about what was said in that meeting, and they could have been tol

No, I think Doctorow is explicitly arguing the opposite? He is saying that it wasn't Thai Union that killed the chain, but the previous (PE) owners. Even the title says that.

That post was, as far as I can tell, basically an opinion piece repeating/summarizing stories that had been on the HN frontpage dozens of times. This post is investigative journalism with significant new information. It should not be s

Yes, your link also explains that there's no single fiscal year, and every company just chooses to define it however they want. And while the fiscal year affects when the company needs to file a tax return, that's not when the com

This is incorrect. Fiscal years have nothing to do with when you pay tax. They're pretty much totally arbitrary, with different companies using different values. To demonstrate: The earnings Microsoft reported for this same quarter (ca

This is them fucking over their employees though, not the public, and in a very concrete manner. Threats to rob them of millions - maybe tens of millions - are going to hurt more than losing access to a third-party Reddit client. And the em

Yes, I've definitely seen people believe that in various discussions. Combine "Altman said they'd totally never done this" with "the ex-employee who first wrote about this didn't write with absolute 100% clarit

That's not at all how stock splits work. You're probably confusing them with buybacks.

Why do you think TikTok is ignoring robots.txt? This site is disallowing a lot of crawlers via User-Agent matching, but not ByteSpider. https://www.nerdcrawler.com/robots.txt The domain serving the images is allowing everyt

It should be even more evident that you can't judge whether they're doing a good job by looking at just the numerator. You need to know the denominator as well. Or rather, the denominators. In a simplified model there are two grou

I'm not saying there's no value in raising complaints internally. I'm saying that the proposed method of having somebody uninformed do it in an all hands meeting based on internet anecdotes has no value. It has no chance of a

These companies have on the order of 100k employees. It's the job of maybe 0.01% of them to deal with these issues. For the vast majority, a random account having been suspended going to be in scope of their work. It's going to be

So, the people complaining at an all hands are likely to be completely ignorant about the facts on the ground. They're not working on these systems or processes. They're just gullible enough to believe what they read on the intern

That seems like a ridiculous stance. The safe harbor laws that those platforms depend on are for user-generated content. Here it's your platform that's generating the infringing content. (And obviously it's not by accident,

by jsnell 2y ago
I mean, yes, I agree that it is obvious. But then that's you simultanously claiming that the DoJ is trying to "force a jury trial" with a pointless claim of monetary damages on one hand, and that they're not trying to ga

I can't help but notice you didn't answer the question. If the monetary damages aren't the point, why did they get added into the complaint?

If the monetary damages aren't the point, why did the DoJ make (according to the article) a last minute addition to the case for monetary damages? If you're right and forcing the payment of damages isn't the point, that seems

OpenAI doesn't give shares or options. They give "profit participation units". They had agreements in place that allowed them to cancel the already vested PPUs if the employer didn't sign a draconian non-disparagement ag
