But Youtube was supposed to change the world! Time magazine said it did! Instead, it and all other things like it are just another channel by which the major content providers are allowed to provide you with content. Consume, citizen!
The DMCA requirements for good-faith are too lenient, clearly, if this many false-positives are allowed to continue. Google won't push back, it's not good business. And we won't stop using Youtube, ever.
The Internet was allowed to be free only until there was money to be made.
Didn't we discuss, here, how a remote kill switch is AMAZINGLY DANGEROUS? Does it just turn off the ignition? In the middle of the highway? Do the brake lights come on to show I'm slowing down because the car is now off? Does the kill switch wait until I come to a stop to simply choke the car dead? Am I still stopped in the middle of a road with no way to move out of peoples' way?
Wikipedia's core tenet is "Everyone can edit". I've known I could edit it since the day I started using it. I just learned today, just now, that I can edit Google Maps, and I've been using it for years. Consequently, I have more trust in Google Maps (despite being burned a few times) than I do in wikipedia, even though wikipedia's citation policy lets me see how they got their information.
I'd say the aerospace industry is dealing with it a lot better than the software industry. Perhaps we should get held up to the same standards, maybe then we could earn the title of "(Software) Engineer".
I'll take it, proviso that if SCOTUS strikes the law down as unconstitutional in less than 5 year... make that 10 ye... How long has the USA PATRIOT Act been around?
There are developers who ride the wave of new languages (who appear to be surfing towards Go and Rust now that JavaScript has crested). In that respect, Perl has long since settled down, and Ruby is on the wave's trailing end. It could be said that now the hype wave is over, people can get real stuff done in the language.

Shall we drag out all the other obfuscated code contests and judge all languages guilty by the most heinous crimes committed with them? Remember that C and C++ give us Windows.
They're fighting this on the grounds that it should never have been granted because it was disparaging at the time it was granted, not that it is no longer okay, that it wasn't okay when it was made.
Eh, I like Joel's solution: One button, "Leave". Let the computer configuration figure out when to go into light-sleep, deep-sleep, and off modes.
Microsoft perpetually seems to have too many cooks in the kitchen. I remain skeptical of Apple's ability to cut out the fat in the absence of a Supreme Dictator. Gnome got creamed by the users for their trimming of configurability, while KDE seems to be maintaining a nice, wholesome balance (though since there are actual choices in the *nix space, there can be actual competition).
The point being that I'm frequently surprised that MS gets anything done at all.

As long as our methods of content sharing are allowed to operate only by the grace of the major players (i.e. the rich), we will never be free.
They're right, it _is_ a privacy/security hole. Most people just don't care. Apparently including me.

No, the remote kill switch is a horrendous idea.
That's the fun problem with an arms race: If you don't race, you lose. If you do race, you still lose.
"No."

Simpsons did it! Simpsons did it!
Nah, Rust is the new hotness!
In fact, I like it more now that it _isn't_ cool!

Do they not appreciate Huey Lewis's undisputed masterpiece? You should murder them with an axe.
Harley owners want to be noticed, and without the 120 decibel roar, we won't be paying enough attention to them.

No big loss
You're right, the Japan of 2014 likes to pretend the Japan of 1945 never happened.
Considering their history, China has every right to be concerned about Japan even looking at them funny...
So the "Empathy Box" from "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?" is real? And now?
To be fair, a teletype would solve 80% of what I need, with a video-capable tablet providing the rest...
Perhaps you were supposed to [citation needed]?
And what if you don't get it right FIRST? Then someone else would be famous and rich.
