it's fairly simple, at some point you have to evaluate somone technical skills to make sure they are suitble for the job, and well designed tests do that. There is an abundance of bad tests out there, but blanket statements that you wo

Most, if not all, of the problem statements won't even qualify for copywrite, they are generic problems that people have been stating for decades or more and as such are extreamly unlikly to be unique or original to hackerrank. I am su

As far as (2) is concerned there is only one solution 1) register the copywrite of the tools you have written inhouse for hacker rank and 2) ONLY issue DMCA claims based on your registered copywrites. The questions and peoples answers to th

No, no you dont need to do take downs, ever. literaly everything your assessing is programming 101. its not something that you can or should be asserting any copywrite on. infact I would challange you to register the copywrites on your ques

intersting, im not seeing anything that looks like it would be copywritable at "questions and answers" on that archive page. I feel like hacker rank might be facing an uphill battle for this one.

its a shame they included the original shareware resource files in there without any mention that they are NOT covered by the MIT licence that the repository is under.

how can an end user confirm this is infact true, and confirm that the updates are also free from any similar nasty issues. can the user control the updates, including choosing when, what and if they happen.

so provide a dynamic dns solution with one of the huge number of providers out there? there are plenty of ways to get around that particular problem (although a cloud server is one of the best). so why not provide the information and let th

lots of marketing, not much substance here for me. the manditory subscription with no option to avoid it is a 100% non-starter for me. I would much prefer a documented method for seting up my own cloud cutout with a variety of providers the

that will just lead to a whole lot of "we dont have that information" or alternativly, "all of these 10000 people used that, have fun!"

It's even more gray then that. Regardless of the licence, does the produced code even quality for copywrite protection, or does it fall under fair use? what licence, if any, is there for unique code generated by co-pilot etc etc etc. i

so your product is not 100% open source as you claim? how is that not misleading? if YOUR license is not open source, you need to remove this claim from your website.

by philderbeast 5y ago
so its not open source anymore then say confluence, who lets you download the source if you have a license to it? false claims like this will ensure I never use or recommend this product

by philderbeast 5y ago
interesting that when you click the compare features, it claims 100% open source, but they dont seem to have any links to the source anywhere.

they can deny access to content ID, and require manually submitted claims (providing a postal address and requiring hard copy notifications still meets the DMCA requirement's AFAIK) so while they cant just ignore a claim, they can make

many of the demands listed, while well intentioned, are ill considered at best. Take the first demand for instance, pay $0.01 per play. on the face this sounds fine, until you look at the economics of this. Spotify Premium is $9.99, that me

and that just makes you wonder why they expect students to keep paying them to do courses they wont even do the basics to ensure they are relevant and useful.

switching isn't just worth it, I would say its mandatory. there has been no reason now for years to start any new project in python2, and since it went EOL last year you would have to be crazy to use it.

If only university's had some way of getting funding from, I don't know, something like teaching courses, that could be used to pay people to maintain and update the software they depend on. I just finished a Graduate diploma at a

The difference is, if they aren't being taught with up-to-date tooling, there knowledge with that tooling is worth exactly zero the moment they finish that course. and lets not forget that with python 2 not being supported anymore, eve

if the code still has value being run in modern environments, then it probably needs to be maintained and updated anyway. if its not being used, then does it running with the latest tools even matter?

Then they are asking the wrong question, instead of asking do I have to upgrade, they need to be asking why shouldn't I upgrade. Keeping current with industry is the only way they can stay relevant in the modern world, particularly in
