How does detecting the emails were fake address the DMCA claim on his YouTube channel? It’s my understanding that YouTube won’t intervene in DMCA claims even if the claims were false.
the most important thing here seems to be that the fraudulent claims were retracted by the person who sent them, and the statement from nintendo that the claims were not legitimate.
but it's not true that youtube won't do anything about false claims. both the DMCA and youtube's pseudo-dmca takedown process care that about the identity of the person making the claim. if you claim "i am an authorized agent for Nintendo of America" and that's not true, then they'll throw out your claim. as long as you are who you say you are and are an authorized representative of the company you claim to represent, then google tends to trust you even if you're claiming ownership of content you don't actually own.
> (and as far as I can tell, they aren't really that cheaper than the competitors)
Can you say more? Their Cloud instances, for example, are less than half the cost of OVH's, and less than a fifth of the cost of a comparable AWS EC2 instance.
We all start somewhere. :) Hetzner can be a good fit for many small companies.
But let’s also be honest, if you’re THAT bootstrapped, you probably have no business running kubernetes to begin with. If the company has a short runway, it doesn’t make sense to work on a complex architecture from the start. Focus on shipping something and getting revenue.
Depends entirely on what is your starting skillset.
K8s is my tool of choice when I am that boostrapped, because a single server with k3s thrown on it will cost me maybe 80 EUR a month and hold all environments plus CI/CD plus various self-hosted business components (with backup sent over to separate provider, just in case), and I'll be free to build my project instead of messing with server setup or worry about cloud bills.
I think they meant to say the maintainers for redis-py, lettuce, and jedis have already relinquished control to Redis Inc. The libraries are still online, but their repositories have been moved to the official Redis organization and are "controlled" and "owned by Redis" according to an email quoted in the linked Github Issue.
> he received Saturday detention and a grade of 65 out of 100 on the assignment
The student still received a passing grade for the assignment despite some of the assignment being AI hallucinated text. From my experience, plagiarism is an automatic zero for the entire assignment or course, but there are tons of counterexamples when the teacher/professor doesn't want to deal with the academic integrity process.
- "but there are tons of counterexamples when the teacher/professor doesn't want to deal with the academic integrity process"
That's a good point: in this particular case, the teacher of the course was subpoenaed to federal court and compelled to testify about their grading. Incredible burden, for someone else's problem.
I have had the rare privilege to see up close examples of how at several US universities, when professors are presented with irrefutable proof that a student has cheated (well beyond any reasonable doubt) the professor will most often do nothing. In the best case they will meet with the student and give them a stern talking to.
The whole system is set up to disincentivize any effort to actually hold students accountable for cheating in a significant way (fail assignment, fail course, expulsion, etc.)
When we read about cases of students being held accountable it's generally the exception not the rule.
> Also, she had to learn what it meant to ride “goofy footed.” It’s when you ride a board with your right foot forward instead of your left. “Oh,” Shaunda says. “Well, I am left-handed.”
I am right handed but would ride a skateboard the same way. I never even tried with my left foot forward. Even visualizing it feels wrong. I wonder why this is the apparently uncommon stance? Some people I think prefer to use their dominant foot to push, but it’s easier to keep my balance when my dominant foot is on the board.
Stance for board sports is nearly even, one analysis shows 56% regular vs 44% goofy [1]. It's not like handedness at all. Not sure why one was designated "normal" and the other "weird" when it's so close. My guess is that there was a very small group of skaters that came up with the name, and by chance most of them happened to be regular.
Naming things is weird. In movement/dance description, the name of the typical walk is "contrabody", but if you move your right arm with your right leg, that's called "natural".
The classic way to tell if you're regular or goofy is to close your eyes and have someone shove you from behind, see which foot you try and catch yourself with. Probably works better if you don't know the shove is coming.
> I am right handed but would ride a skateboard the same way.
Yup was going to comment that I didn't know if left-handed were more likely to be goofy but back in my skateboarding days I definitely had right-handed friends who were goofy instead of regular.
> ... but it’s easier to keep my balance when my dominant foot is on the board
My daughter (who's not goofy but reglar), for a reason I don't understand, prefer to push with her front foot while keeping her back foot on the board. It's not how I told her.
Like "handedness" there's also "footedness", and they're not strictly linked. Apparently around 40% of left-handers are right-footers but only ~3% of right-handers are left-footers.
Same. Another variation is which foot you push off with. I always push off with my front foot, the right (strong) foot. So it makes sense to me to ride goofy.
First time I saw people push off with their back foot it seemed so weird. But I think they were mostly natural not goofies.
If you’re using TLS what is the concern? I’d be more worried about Internet data transfer costs than that. Latency might be a concern but it’s going to be very dependent on use case.
It's not encryption but the fact database could be siphoned off by just stealing the credentials and possibly getting one of your IPs whitelisted. If it's inside the network, they have to establish a bridgehead and maintain it which is in theory, more difficult and higher risk of detection.
I have never had cable activated without a technician coming. I live in a more rural area, but I've also heard other people discuss "the cable guy is scheduled to arrive sometime between 8AM and 4PM."
I think cable boxes change it somewhat, but the last time I had cable and not just cable internet they still had someone come to hook the cable box up. Admittedly, that was fifteen years ago now.
There has been zero reason to physically disconnect the hookup since analog cable was phased out 15 years ago.
It can still be cheaper to send a guy out on service start to ensure the existing hookup is of sufficient quality (hasn’t degraded or been chewed or cut by the last owner) and the new customer isn’t trying to hook it into their aerial or old satellite dish or something. Or if your records are spotty and aren’t certain there’s an existing hookup.
You're right that they probably don't disconnect it. Honestly, I've never considered what happens when it's disconnected, as it's always been when I move out of a place.
Needing somebody to show up to connect it made me assume someone disconnected it, but a status check makes more sense.
> the last time I had cable and not just cable internet they still had someone come to hook the cable box up. Admittedly, that was fifteen years ago now.
15 years is lifetimes when it comes to technology capabilities. They world has moved on from that.
I've had techs "need" to come out for cable internet connection setup, but all they did was the exact same thing I would do myself: connect the coax, plug in the modem, and call a number to say "here's the MAC address, it's plugged in". It's such a waste of time (mine and theirs) and money (depends on if they're jackholes who charge a connection fee or if they eat the cost themselves).
Meanwhile, another cable company I subscribed to last year for internet service just mailed me a kit, with QR codes that handled activation. It didn't work right the first time, and there was a number to call; they realized the problem was on their end and fixed it quickly.
>15 years is lifetimes when it comes to technology capabilities. They world has moved on from that.
I've had cable internet hooked up more recently and still needed a technician, I just stopped getting cable TV about fifteen years ago. Which seems to mirror your experience except last year.
And checking my local providers, I still need to schedule an appointment for a new connection. It seems like it's easier elsewhere.
The patent for semaglutide doesn't expire until 2030 (in the US), so a generic is not currently available. I say this as someone who is looking into purchasing the drug: I don't think many people buying the compounded formula know it is not a "generic" and is not FDA approved. The companies selling it often do not even say where it comes from.
It shouldn't be surprising that Novo Nordisk is fighting these compounding pharmacies that are purely interested in undercutting them. Not to say they need our sympathy, since I'm sure a significant cost of Ozempic is due to the injection pen with a million patents.
The pill version is showing similar safety and efficacy profiles as the injectable (leveraging higher dosage to get through the gut to the bloodstream), so runs to Canada and Mexico are probably in consumer futures to evade patent regulatory capture until 2030 (or getting it mailed from India, I have had personal success with this for other non controlled pharma products).
> The pill version is showing similar safety and efficacy profiles as the injectable
The pill, Rybelsus, barely works. They've having to put 700%+ more than the injections to still get a lower overall effectiveness. They're actively working on alternative delivery methods to resolve this.
A daily pill GLP-1 will be a massive commercial success. Rybelsus isn't very good for either the manufacturer or the consumer. You're burning a lot of expensive peptide to get a worse outcome at every dose level.
Perfect is the enemy of good enough. I agree with your assessment, that a pill is not ideal current state of the art, but if a pill format improves compliance and delivery vs injectables, and the cost of the pill can be driven down to where it is similar to Metformin, the outcome is still the same (even if there is waste from a suboptimal delivery mechanism).
An efficient drug delivery mechanism you can’t get into the hands of a broad population cohort is not efficient. We are optimizing for accessibility for everyone who needs access to this drug family (imho).
Rybelsus is harder on compliance (1-per-day, rather than 1-per-week), and the cost of the pill will always be high due to the excessive amount of peptide it wastes (700% more per day * 7-days = 7000% more wasteful than a single injection per week).
At some point it isn't "perfect Vs. good" it is "effective Vs. ineffective." Rybelsus is an ineffective medication. Even with the eye watering waste set out above, it is reported as being less effective as a GLP-1 too. There is no upside.
A pill GLP-1 is an absolute game-changer. We just aren't there yet.
Oral medications are much cheaper to manufacture than injectables. The Apis Bull is working on a drug combination that prevents the digestive system from burning up all the semaglutide.
Yeah, but the Mounjaro/Zepbound cost with injector in the UK is £139 for 4 weekly 5mg injections/month. They're still making over 90% margins. The margins in the US are completely insane >99%.
Victoza (liraglutide)'s patent expired, but its effect on weight loss is pitiful relative to later-generation GLP-1 agonists. Same story for Trulicity (dulaglutide), for which patent protections end in 2027.
Liraglutide is an older version that is now available as a generic, but it's results, particularly for weight loss, are far behind semaglutide, tirzepatide, etc.
I suspect it could be, however it sounds like the author has lost all motivation to continue work on syncthing android and has formally announced that no further development will be done. And as much as I like syncthing-android I appreciate this sort of straight forward communications more and salute the author for clearly stating intentions.
Now seeing as it is open source (hooray) The way I think that will go is as follows, we will continue using the existing apk(I get mine off f-droid) for a few months to years, in the meantime seeing as the app is so useful to so many a few forks will arise, one will end up being the best, and we will eventually start using that one.
Presumably because most people don't know about F-Droid, and there's a question of whether it's worth continuing to develop the app for a tiny subset of the original audience.
