It would probably be prudent to withdraw all existing notices, never submit one again, and send donations to every single project you have ever sent a DMCA notice to, and do everything in your power to get all content re-instated, everywher

Maybe that's why we contribute to open source! It must be the voice in our head! Or it's a hobby...

Reading elsewhere in the thread it looks like they have been relying on firms in Pakistan and elsewhere to scour the internet for strings that appear in Hacker Rank and submit DMCA takedowns when they find these strings elsewhere. This beco

Curious how things got to the point where it took public outrage on HN to move the needle on this issue. Legal department going crazy with stuff without you realizing it maybe?

They could very easily list the number of stars that will be deleted, as a sanity test. That in my opinion is even more reasonable than having to type the repo name, and should be implemented.

by sam0x17 5y ago
Yeah but it's not like stars are seen as some amazing endorsement on the part of the individual starring. It's more like a favorites list if anything

And yet, it actually is set up in an extremely opinionated annoying way. For example there is no way to actually assign multiple users to the same ticket, which is a big problem if your org legitimately does pair programming (mine does for

Yeah there was a Vice where they ask school children in rural america what they know about Unions and it's all standard media bs
702.
by sam0x17 5y ago
There is substantial lobbying and corporate media effort that goes into suppressing and silencing talk about unions and spreading bad sentiment wherever possible. This happens even at schools with young children.

I agree amazon warehouses are one of the best use cases for unionization, but I also believe there is almost nowhere unionization doesn't make sense. Collective bargaining makes sense wherever there is a collective that is being exploi

These days the word "boomer" triggers anyone older than elder millennials, and somehow it's furthermore become a bit politicized. Most people also don't know that Generation X or the Silent Generation exist, and many don

Love that it's for Rails. Might actually use this!

furthermore, if you're a house-owning boomer who bought their first house for $25k and it is now worth $1m+, inflation can be seen as quite good

One thing I've found is that things used to be a lot simpler. We've added tons of complexity in the last 15 years, but the fundamentals of web pages and the UI controls in them largely have stayed the same. We've largely move

I did a very similar setup to this as a boy using a PHP file that re-wrote itself as a sort of key-based data store. This was fantastic on free shared web hosting sites since no free db options were available. This was circa 2005.

oh god, the horror of the fact that this is necessary! As someone who has largely and happily sidestepped the whole reactivity thing for the last decade, it really sounds like that whole world is starting to implode and contradict the very

Yeah, they literally told me if I didn't cash it their system was just going to keep sending checks every 90 days so I might as well cash it now.

by sam0x17 5y ago
They're often very ill-equipped to deal with it and honestly it can hurt OR help you. My car loan processor accidentally double charged my $5k loan payoff (and it didn't bounce). Customer support told me the only way to get back m

Any Google killer needs to have search indexing technology and infrastructure as a core competency to be truly successful. Kagi has done a great job of solving some of the UX and privacy problems endemic in online search these days, but at

Really appreciate that Linux support is on the roadmap. Was going to flame for yet another mac-only app, but looks like cross-platform support is on the horizon so appreciate it!
