Plaintiff had bad copyright notice. If the copyright notice is changed to be specific about the data and not 'everything under the under sun' on this website. This would be like someone trying to copyright the word 'crayon' on his website. Crayon in most countries counties means 'writing device'. Since So you can copyright the word 'crayon' your website. But you could copyright 'Crayola Crayons' since that is specific.
In this case the copyright was 'This is our website. We don't have anything specific about our data.' So no specified claims to sales or specific claims to sales data puts everything in the public domain as long as the scraper uses the data for 'informational purposes' and does not make a copyright claim to the data itself.
FYI: a more specific definition for crayon is 'a writing device where the writing material wears off to leave a meaningful mark.' Examples are: crayons (duh), pencils, charcoal sticks, etc. Since pens and markers have ink or pigment reserves and do not wear down they are not considered crayons.
Maybe its just me but it seems like a love child of Diaspora and StatusNet (formally Laconica) that you have to pay for.
Oddly enough, the pay element is the only really attractive element right now. At least that way I know I know I will not have advertisements all over the place. Still $5 dollars seems steep. For that I could just host my own microblog theme on WordPress and make my own community.
You don't even need to make your own community. The $5/month is for hosting; if you host your blog yourself (they recommend WordPress), then it's free.
And given the broad sentiment expressed in these comments, they could do a MUCH better job communicating this.
Yes. We have our Exchange system setup that if we have 'SECURE' in the title it will check if we TLS agreement with the receiving server. If we do, we'll send the email through with encryption. If not, the receiver is required to sign-up for our secure web service and then use a one-time code to download the file.
We do limit the file size of what we'll send in encryption. But does someone really need a 3 gig PDF?
We really only keep fax for government requirements and the few outliers that will not cut the phone cord. We were getting some many junk faxes we had to implement a white-list.
I think phones are stilled needed. They're still the most reliable form of communication. But I see most people switching to white lists. Anyone not in your address book will get sent to voicemail right away.

Imagine the future of mobile adware...where they get access to your contact list, generate generic names of similar ethnicity to your real contacts, and add fake contacts. Or they add additional numbers to contacts you already have.
"Oh, my friend Stan is calling. DANGIT NO I DON'T WANT A MEDICARE SUPPLEMENT PLAN!"
Given what a lot of people now know (or should know) about what Facebook and Google record about everyone, this is not the future any longer. It is achievable right now, and I would not be shocked to find that someone is doing it already. (I'd be disappointed and irate.)
this is off topic but a friend linked me a comment you made a few months ago about the IBM dress code and "work being for work" and he can't find the article so I was hoping you might have it somewhere or remember the title or anything!
I don't see the big deal. We've been using 'AI' in medical equipment for nearly decade. Look at DeVinci surgery devices. Its just until recently the technology has been called AI.
Yah that place is cancer. I just took a quick peek inside of /v/politics and noped out. I'm an advocate getting balanced news, but this place is clearly heavily biased. I'm not saying Reddit is balanced either, but a bit more so than Voat.
There is probably a niche for which a stripped down HN-like forum with moderation but for general discussion might be moderately successful.. moreso if it provides a robust API that allows for third party clients.
I don't think self-hosted forums ever left, really. But it's like IRC versus modern messaging apps; there's been a huge amount of inflation in terms of what user base "success" is supposed to look like.
It is still actively being worked on. It just recently converted from Microsoft based software to open source throughout. The work is fairly slow because there are only a couple of devs.
And to really mess things up Apple is rumored to drop Intel processors for a modified ARM processor. It will be desktop version of their mobile A11 processor. The new chip will emulate the Intel 64 bit processor for older applications not written to use the LLVM. Otherwise Swift apps that use LLVM with just run as normal.
With the current digital phones there is almost no chance of the phones interfering with the airplane's operations. When phones were analog their frequencies did live in some of same ranges as the plane's equipment.
Analog phone used lower frequencies to cover longer ranges. Back then we had of fewer towers so you had to use lower frequencies. The lower the frequency the more ground you can cover, the better reliability. Airplanes used the similar frequencies for all the same reasons.
Now both planes and phones use better equipment with better FCC oversight on was frequencies and transmission type each uses. Airplanes rely more on satellite communication then terrestrial towers which further helps to prevent radio communication collision.
Facebook Messenger for friend and family that can't use SMS (or understand texting.) Google Voice for everything thing else. I really like Line, Quidd (don't judge) and Telegram. But I use them more as BBS services then a true messenger app.
Can you help me. Why wouldn't I just setup Postgres or a similar database on a less expensive and better known cloud provider (Digital Ocean, AlibabaCloud, Amazon, Azure, Google etc.)? Many of these have similar pre-configured database systems.
Hi, thanks for the question! Of course you can do that. Our offer is for people who want to get started fast without losing focus. Maintaining a database is a standard task that you could do yourself. But getting it right might consume some time, you probably want to invest in your application. You need to consider backups, possibly a failover solution, monitoring and a scaling strategy. If maintaining a database is the core of your business, go ahead. If you want to get started fast, maybe you give nukapi a shot.
