I posted a response as someone mentioned the little guy. Cost prohibitive doesn't have to imply the initial license, but high enough that people wouldn't want to keep applying or lose it.
1000$ for a DMCA license might be reasonable to put it under control and ensure only people who should be issuing DMCA's do so, or else risk losing their license and needing to re-apply for it.
If licenses are free, everyone will just make 1000's of "licensed" accounts to do the same thing over and over like a spammer. It could also be part of a service for larger organizations for an ideally smaller and reasonable fee will submit DMCA's on the behalf of the businesses, but will ensure their clients have proof before doing so as the business doesn't want to lose money and have to re-apply for a license.
I didn't mean a price way out of bounds, but say, 1000$, so people won't DMCA everything they see as those thousands add up really quickly if they're doing it wrongfully.
But also that applying for a license can be a process, where you investigate the applying company before approving it. If there are signs that this is the same people who did false DMCA's before, you just deny their license.
It's not perfect and won't work 100% of the time, but it would certainly help.
The solution is to require anyone that wishes to submit DMCA requests has to have a DMCA license number and be registered with the country that the company resides in for the lawful take down.
That way youtube can confirm that the email address and license number match the organization that is requesting the DMCA. To confirm the validity of the email, a random string is sent back and needs to be replied, or a link sent to the email that they have to click on to complete the DMCA.
Make it cost prohibitive to get a license so that only proper organizations can do this. If people monkey around, they get their license revoked and have to re-apply and risk being banned from receiving a license.
Maybe they start at a disadvantage culturally and it varies region by region. I work in IT though, and I'm in Canada.
I run into women, and people of all races. In fact my current boss is from a middle eastern country, he owns the company. Although come to think of it he seems to only hire white people. It could just be chance.
Fyi you wouldn't know he wasn't from here originally. There's nothing culturally different about him. So I put forth that in some places there is a problem, but white people are not the major population of the world, and these kind of issues are not everywhere.
I've also been directly discriminated against for being white, and a male. I don't know if it's ever been in tandom. So when people have all these issues and it becomes public, I really have to ask, when looking at these people that claim to be minorities, they really aren't any different at all.
They discriminate just the same, and want more things that directly benefit them, and apparently like all humans, will use any avenue they can.
These people are not your familiar, they don't need to cater to you on a personal social level.
"Oh, well, Jimmy doesn't really like this particular family outing. Jimmy, what would you like to do today?" Is a line of crock. You can't force people to like you and be your friend, get it through your head. The laws and demands to change stop when it goes beyond professionalism, thankfully as far as I know there's no mind control device so you're never going to get your way in every aspect of your life.
So yes, she is a whiner. She did mention some experiences which definitely crossed the line as the people were not only being unprofessional and stepping into social aspects, they were rude and negative.
They were inappropriate. The part where she says she was losing her culture though in the work place? That's a line of crock. What's next, places of business being subjected to having a more punk rock theme to suit individual employees who don't want to lose their culture?
Your personal culture takes place out of the place, and if you can't make friends with people at work, be profesionally friendly, and hang out with friends that fit your style out of work. If you don't have those, then we know where the problem is.
You people are turning into children who want your parents to force the next door neighbor to play with you.
Hey we're all going to go play baseball and drink beer. Want to come? "No, I don't drink or play baseball"
Then you go "I've been ostracized, they just ignore me and left me here by myself." It's not on everyone else to adjust their life style so they can entertain you, and make you happy. You're responsible for your own happiness. This would be completely dismissed but also completely accurate, if I worked in an environment where no one cared about technology or video games, and this actually happens a lot. If all I wanted to do was talk about video games or play video games, and all everyone else wanted to do was talk about hockey, should they change their interests because 10 people want to talk about hockey, and one person wants to talk about video games?
No, you're the odd man out. If you take a stance of "I shouldn't have to change to fit in this industry, more people should like my interests" Well aren't you a special self important cupcake who thinks everyone should cater to you. Congratulations, that's the problem with special interest groups.
If I move to another country, and although I don't play golf, if that's all everyone did, I would get into Golf
You don't have to. But what happens if someone is being kept a "strictly professional relationship with" by everyone - they are severely impeded in their career.
You're absolutely right, but you can't fault "everyone" if "everyone" doesn't share your values and life style. If you can only reach out to "people of my own " then the problem is you and your unwillingness to accept other peoples values and cultures. They're perfectly fine, she is the one that is having the issue. This seems less about race and more about upbringing, the life you were exposed to as a child and like minded people, and I suspect she simply didn't have luck running into people who had the same life, and she demands it changed.
I know this: I am not my job. I am not my industry or its stereotypes. I am a black woman who happens to work in the tech industry. I don’t need to change to fit within my industry. My industry needs to change to make everyone feel included and accepted.
Excuse fucking you? No wonder people felt like they had to walk on eggshells around you.
Let me rephrase that for you to for exactly what was said here, as I don't feel the need to walk on eggshells. "White people do not have the same background as I do as a black person, I feel more comfortable and included by black people. White people have to change what they're doing to be more like black people so I can feel included without changing who I am"
People do not need to be your friend, they don't need to like you. I did read some disgusting behaviors in there by coworkers and managers, that was exceptionally inappropriate, however, you do not need to be included in social aspects of work.
That goes with people having similar interests and background. I don't get to come to work as a white guy to talk to other white people and demand I feel included because we're all white with white backgrounds. If I have different interests in my co-workers, which I often do, I'm not part of any secret communications, or making fun of other people. In fact, I don't care to gossip at work at all so I'm likely the target of some of the gossip, and I don't get invited to these 'things'
I am a white male. My responsibilities in the work place to my co-workers; I must respect them, they are human beings. Their gender does not matter. If I can reconfigure our cisco routers, any women of any race with the same knowledge and expertise can do the same thing. I will provide them equal respect for this as I would a caucasian male. I will treat them professionally without discrimination. I will include them in any work related activities on a business level of productivity and participation within the company.
I do not have to like you. I do not have to be your friend. I do not have to embrace your values, or way of life, or anything about you in a non professional manner. I am in my full rights to keep a strictly professional relationship with you, regardless of your race and gender.
As with any co-worker, that is likely the case, I do not engage socially beyond work related social interaction with most people. On occasion, I run into person of who happens to share similar interests and behave the way I do. These people I may end up calling friends.
You cannot hide behind the mask of racism and gender discrimination to force people to like you and want to be your friend. The opposite will happen.
My final comment on this - I'm sorry you experienced some assholes who were disrespectful to you. They were assholes, and it's not a reflection of the entire industry, progress is being made on that front, and here is the biggest shocker of all. White men have to deal with these assholes too, sometimes they just don't "us" either, and we get treated with shitty condenscending comments where we're shocked we didn't punch them in the face for it and what they said is HR worthy.
3. is clearly supposed to be evidence for the claim in 1. - you don't have to think it's good evidence, but it is at least clearly about the claim in 1.
See the problem with taking one thing and applying to everyone? You're going to piss off a lot of people who had nothing to do with what happened, even if they have something in common like religion, or gender. You need the support of these people to stop these things.
it goes to voicemail? You realize that voicemail on cellphones isn't built into the bloody phone right? It's from your provider. Just the same as my voice calls can be tapped so can my voice mail, but a reasonable level of privacy is there unless I'm investigated.
And no I don't. This may be a hard concept for you as you're probably a bit younger than I am, but people do not need to be able to talk to me at all times of the day no matter where I am. 99.99% of the time it is never an emergency that I really wished I got that phone call.
You know, once upon a time, people didn't have cell phones, just regular ones. When you called, they were simply 'not home' and you had to wait until they called you back, or you had to just try again another time when you think they might be home.
What sources are you citing for that information though? Every time you watch the news they're going to show you the most shocking and I hate to say it, entertaining people. So they're going to show the hatred, the shock, the disregard for human life.
I've spoken to a few people who are from israel or Afaganistan, who moved to Canada. It was from them I had a bit better of a perspective as they told me what every day was like in the better parts of the cities they lived in, and how most of the people are.
The problem is for people who are just trying to live their life and aren't violent, is that the 10% of the violent and nasty people can kill them / ruin their families. It doesn't take a lot of people to control a large population.
1000-10,0000 people can keep hundreds of thousands of people if not more in line with their beliefs. Why? Because not all of them are going to disagree at once and fight back. It's because a few people are going to disagree, super shitty things are going to happen to them and other people will be afraid to disagree as well, feeling that all they have is their family and no support.
I'd become pretty damn quiet too if I thought that people would come and rape my wife and daughter, kill my sons, if I spoke about being modern and open to people, respecting other lives.
I'd much rather say screw what the rest of the world wants and do what I thought would best protect my family.
And sure, there's plenty of Muslims in Canada who aren't coming to try and force you to change, but there are plenty that are
Sure, I can agree with that, I just don't like the generalization. Any special interest group is doing the exact same thing. There are plenty of feminists who are just trying to make sure things are fair, for both genders and not trying to get revenge or force men to be in a disadvantaged position, but just equal. But there are plenty who are.
There are also plenty of white men who are happy with embracing multi-culturism, and equality for both genders, wanting that and not trying to force inequality to benefit their way of life, but there are plenty who are.
I could go on and on with every single group, it's not appropriate to group everyone of a specific faith, gender or race to this kind of behavior. You need support of the very people you are generalizing.
You need the help of reasonable rational Muslims to help enlighten, educate their kids, their neighbors the proper way to live without discriminating against people and trying to force change on them. If you alienate them, you'll prove the fanatical sides point.
People need to start directing their attention on the direct individuals or organizations responsible so that all people from different races, religions and genders can unite to snuff out the bullshit, so we can one day (Probably never remotely in my life time) move forward as a human race.
Read a good fairy tale. They have some good points. Sometimes the "good" people alienate the very people who could help them,. Evil isn't born, it's created.
It would be more accurate to say by governments and people of power in nations that are primarily populated by people of the Muslim religion. They just don't have the digital intelligence network to do it quietly like North America.
I promise you that there a lot of people in "Muslim" countries who don't give a shit if you're gay, as long as you're not trying to force them to change their way of life, and don't care what you're doing in your spare time if you're not hurting anyone. They're going for coffee with their friends, going out for dinner, going dancing. Having friends over for dinner, watching TV, going out to a movie.
A lot of them are just trying to live their lives and don't want to deal with this shit anymore than we do. Unfortunately the smallest percentage of people seem to be the loudest who are screaming over everything.
Yeah yeah, bad bad bad. Need to stop the bad guys. Look! I'm superman, I just saved a bus that was about to die full of school children, but I used my super powers to stop it, so support me.
Whoa while you were thinking about that, I just saved another school bus full of children. I know you have no proof but that's how good we are. Support us. Oh man the WHOLE WORLD almost was destroyed, but us invading your privacy saved it. I know there no evidence, it's secret, so you know, they don't figure out how we saved the whole world and stop us from saving it..but yeah...just hand those freedoms over or next time, they'll get ALL THE CHILDREN IN THE WHOLE WORLD.
Thank you.
Although from time to time there might be real threats out there that are stopped but lets face it, there's enough information out there for anyone who wants to actually hurt someone, shoot someone, or blow someone up that it could happen all the time with lots of people dying, and no one able to stop it.
It's not happening. Why? Because it's not as bad as they'd like us to believe.
They're more worried about snowden leaks showing how fucking terrible they're being, and being voted out of power. They'd much rather know everything about you so they can scare you about them fucking with your life in legal ways with 'investigations' and other thins to torment you so you don't oust their power through legitimate means one day.
Just take a look at videos of what police do to people who obey the laws and refuse to give them information, ID and other things because they don't have to. This is just the evolution of that.
I usually use phone that has none of these features, lasts two weeks on a normal charge, makes phone calls.
Easy to maintain a higher level of privacy, and I only turn it on when I expect a call or need to call someone. Makes it cheap. At best they know where I am at times, which doesn't matter. Privacy is still real and affordable, and people can get it if they want it.
Saying privacy is gone is not correct. Saying people are too lazy to put any effort or be inconvenienced to maintain privacy is correct.
First off, being a Muslim has nothing to do with screaming, crying, and arresting as soon as they express a view we don't like.
Muslim is a religious choice, and just like Christians or any other religion, there are those who are fanatical about it. They are dangerous, remember the holy crusades?
There are people who are fanatical who have nothing to do with religion at all, what group do you insult for them? There's plenty of Muslims who live in Canada who are perfectly reasonable respectable people who are not violent who appreciate that you have your own way you live your life, and aren't coming to you to force you to change it, and just want to be respected for their way of life like any other religion.
Actually there are significant things anyone can do if there is anything they actually want to keep private.
However if you post it on facebook, no it's not private. This spread of people saying 'Privacy is gone it's in the past' sounds like a personal tote boi who works for said agencies.
Privacy is real, it's current, it's now, and it's not difficult to have if you can handle not posting everything on facebook. You can also maintain it. If you have a phone, does it need GPS? Does it need internet? Does it need facebook? No?
Right, go back to using phones only when you need it. Do not always be connected. E.G Turn shit off when you don't need it or you're busy. All of a sudden, the level of privacy you had goes back to what it used to be.
I have to disagree with you, I think your mistake is you're on the mindset of the same people who would bail out large companies who fail in their business model to preserve it, when in reality, they failed and need to make way for new business with new business models.
The Market. A similar result would be if Mcdonalds complained, or well actually it has but they complain they cannot find enough local people to work in the industry. So they want to hire foreign workers etc. Now, are there enough qualified people to operate Mcdonalds? Absolutely. What's the problem? No one wants to work with that kind of responsibilities and or the wages they are paying.
It would be then said that peoples expectations are not in tune with the market. This wrong. The expectations of what they are going to pay people is where the market disconnect is.
People in a way are a commodity, bought and traded (willingly) through employment. If you want people product A, it costs this much. If you're having trouble finding people, you are either looking for too specific of a unit that does not exist, or you are not willing to pay for the features you're looking for. You can't decide you don't like the market prices and can't find what you're looking for then label the prices of the commodity not in sync with the market. If that were true, you would be able to find people, maybe a person might be out of touch, but not your overall hiring pool.
Any business will tell you that the worth of their Product is whatever it can sell for. This dominates the market based on supply and demand and controls the price. We do not get to complain that 70" Plasma TV's are out of tune with the market prices. If people are paying it, buying them, then that's what their market value is. Just because I can't afford it myself doesn't mean it's clearly a problem with the producers expectations, and that they need to lower them so I can also purchase their TV.
That also means if people with X skills are being hired at Y wage, then Y wage is what the market price is. Some companies are not able to afford Y wage for X skills, and should lower their expectations on what they're going to get for Y wage. Or, they're going to have pay Y wage to get the features they want.
Allowing them to import foreign workers instead is trashy. Given how many companies get bent out of shape when knock offs, copy of their products made much cheaper in other countries get sold out here illegally, why should they get to do the same thing with the people commodity?
A lot of developers are looking at what happens at Google and Microsoft (aside from the layoffs...), and try to use that as a standard when they apply for a position at a 50-person shop in the midwest. This creates an expectation disconnect where someone gets an offer for $65k, but won't take it because they've been convinced by the Internet, their Career Planning & Placement department, or the job postings on career boards, that their skills are worth $90k.
If the problem is that someone looks at the wages at google for this position and goes, I'm worth 90k! When the actual going wage for that is 65k and has a problem with it, the same is in the reverse on the company said.
But candidates are also making the problem worse by viewing software development as a single, unified market, and clinging to the belief that just because Company X in Boston could afford to pay $x for a given product/project,
The same problem is with the hiring process and the labor market. Well, if company X could pay foreign workers half the wages, then we can pay half the wages as well. They're looking at the wages of software developers in other markets like india, seeing what they like, and applying that as market price here.
People who live in north america are not however, looking that in Country X software developers get paid X so I should too. They might do it by region a bit, but not near to the single unified global

I'd much rather say screw what the rest of the world wants and do what I thought would best protect my family.
And sure, there's plenty of Muslims in Canada who aren't coming to try and force you to change, but there are plenty that are
Sure, I can agree with that, I just don't like the generalization. Any special interest group is doing the exact same thing. There are plenty of feminists who are just trying to make sure things are fair, for both genders and not trying to get revenge or force men to be in a disadvantaged position, but just equal. But there are plenty who are.
There are also plenty of white men who are happy with embracing multi-culturism, and equality for both genders, wanting that and not trying to force inequality to benefit their way of life, but there are plenty who are.
I could go on and on with every single group, it's not appropriate to group everyone of a specific faith, gender or race to this kind of behavior. You need support of the very people you are generalizing.
You need the help of reasonable rational Muslims to help enlighten, educate their kids, their neighbors the proper way to live without discriminating against people and trying to force change on them. If you alienate them, you'll prove the fanatical sides point.
People need to start directing their attention on the direct individuals or organizations responsible so that all people from different races, religions and genders can unite to snuff out the bullshit, so we can one day (Probably never remotely in my life time) move forward as a human race.
Read a good fairy tale. They have some good points. Sometimes the "good" people alienate the very people who could help them,. Evil isn't born, it's created.
It would be more accurate to say by governments and people of power in nations that are primarily populated by people of the Muslim religion.
They just don't have the digital intelligence network to do it quietly like North America.
I promise you that there a lot of people in "Muslim" countries who don't give a shit if you're gay, as long as you're not trying to force them to change their way of life, and don't care what you're doing in your spare time if you're not hurting anyone. They're going for coffee with their friends, going out for dinner, going dancing. Having friends over for dinner, watching TV, going out to a movie.
A lot of them are just trying to live their lives and don't want to deal with this shit anymore than we do. Unfortunately the smallest percentage of people seem to be the loudest who are screaming over everything.
Yeah yeah, bad bad bad. Need to stop the bad guys.
Look! I'm superman, I just saved a bus that was about to die full of school children, but I used my super powers to stop it, so support me.
Whoa while you were thinking about that, I just saved another school bus full of children. I know you have no proof but that's how good we are. Support us.
Oh man the WHOLE WORLD almost was destroyed, but us invading your privacy saved it. I know there no evidence, it's secret, so you know, they don't figure out how we saved the whole world and stop us from saving it..but yeah...just hand those freedoms over or next time, they'll get ALL THE CHILDREN IN THE WHOLE WORLD.
Thank you.
Although from time to time there might be real threats out there that are stopped but lets face it, there's enough information out there for anyone who wants to actually hurt someone, shoot someone, or blow someone up that it could happen all the time with lots of people dying, and no one able to stop it.
It's not happening. Why? Because it's not as bad as they'd like us to believe.
They're more worried about snowden leaks showing how fucking terrible they're being, and being voted out of power. They'd much rather know everything about you so they can scare you about them fucking with your life in legal ways with 'investigations' and other thins to torment you so you don't oust their power through legitimate means one day.
Just take a look at videos of what police do to people who obey the laws and refuse to give them information, ID and other things because they don't have to. This is just the evolution of that.
I usually use phone that has none of these features, lasts two weeks on a normal charge, makes phone calls.
Easy to maintain a higher level of privacy, and I only turn it on when I expect a call or need to call someone. Makes it cheap.
At best they know where I am at times, which doesn't matter. Privacy is still real and affordable, and people can get it if they want it.
Saying privacy is gone is not correct. Saying people are too lazy to put any effort or be inconvenienced to maintain privacy is correct.
First off, being a Muslim has nothing to do with screaming, crying, and arresting as soon as they express a view we don't like.
Muslim is a religious choice, and just like Christians or any other religion, there are those who are fanatical about it. They are dangerous, remember the holy crusades?
There are people who are fanatical who have nothing to do with religion at all, what group do you insult for them?
There's plenty of Muslims who live in Canada who are perfectly reasonable respectable people who are not violent who appreciate that you have your own way you live your life, and aren't coming to you to force you to change it, and just want to be respected for their way of life like any other religion.
Two things.
A) I did not make a statement to if it was java, javascript, flash, or html 5. It has been done in a browser before.
B) My comment was clearly directed at the comment regarding NES and SNES games, not the validity of the service.
This has been done and around for a long time.

Actually there are significant things anyone can do if there is anything they actually want to keep private.
However if you post it on facebook, no it's not private. This spread of people saying 'Privacy is gone it's in the past' sounds like a personal tote boi who works for said agencies.
Privacy is real, it's current, it's now, and it's not difficult to have if you can handle not posting everything on facebook.
You can also maintain it. If you have a phone, does it need GPS? Does it need internet? Does it need facebook?
No?
Right, go back to using phones only when you need it. Do not always be connected. E.G Turn shit off when you don't need it or you're busy. All of a sudden, the level of privacy you had goes back to what it used to be.
i wonder how i'm going to perceive today's "realistic" 3d games in 10 years.
Realistically!
I have to disagree with you, I think your mistake is you're on the mindset of the same people who would bail out large companies who fail in their business model to preserve it, when in reality, they failed and need to make way for new business with new business models.
The Market. A similar result would be if Mcdonalds complained, or well actually it has but they complain they cannot find enough local people to work in the industry.
So they want to hire foreign workers etc. Now, are there enough qualified people to operate Mcdonalds? Absolutely. What's the problem? No one wants to work with that kind of responsibilities and or the wages they are paying.
It would be then said that peoples expectations are not in tune with the market. This wrong. The expectations of what they are going to pay people is where the market disconnect is.
People in a way are a commodity, bought and traded (willingly) through employment. If you want people product A, it costs this much.
If you're having trouble finding people, you are either looking for too specific of a unit that does not exist, or you are not willing to pay for the features you're looking for. You can't decide you don't like the market prices and can't find what you're looking for then label the prices of the commodity not in sync with the market. If that were true, you would be able to find people, maybe a person might be out of touch, but not your overall hiring pool.
Any business will tell you that the worth of their Product is whatever it can sell for. This dominates the market based on supply and demand and controls the price. We do not get to complain that 70" Plasma TV's are out of tune with the market prices. If people are paying it, buying them, then that's what their market value is.
Just because I can't afford it myself doesn't mean it's clearly a problem with the producers expectations, and that they need to lower them so I can also purchase their TV.
That also means if people with X skills are being hired at Y wage, then Y wage is what the market price is. Some companies are not able to afford Y wage for X skills, and should lower their expectations on what they're going to get for Y wage. Or, they're going to have pay Y wage to get the features they want.
Allowing them to import foreign workers instead is trashy. Given how many companies get bent out of shape when knock offs, copy of their products made much cheaper in other countries get sold out here illegally, why should they get to do the same thing with the people commodity?
A lot of developers are looking at what happens at Google and Microsoft (aside from the layoffs...), and try to use that as a standard when they apply for a position at a 50-person shop in the midwest. This creates an expectation disconnect where someone gets an offer for $65k, but won't take it because they've been convinced by the Internet, their Career Planning & Placement department, or the job postings on career boards, that their skills are worth $90k.
If the problem is that someone looks at the wages at google for this position and goes, I'm worth 90k! When the actual going wage for that is 65k and has a problem with it, the same is in the reverse on the company said.
But candidates are also making the problem worse by viewing software development as a single, unified market, and clinging to the belief that just because Company X in Boston could afford to pay $x for a given product/project,
The same problem is with the hiring process and the labor market. Well, if company X could pay foreign workers half the wages, then we can pay half the wages as well. They're looking at the wages of software developers in other markets like india, seeing what they like, and applying that as market price here.
People who live in north america are not however, looking that in Country X software developers get paid X so I should too.
They might do it by region a bit, but not near to the single unified global
