There's no way that the trickle of revenue is greater than the cost of enforcement. Officer salary and benefits, equipment maintenance, and all the costs associated with the court system...

I like to use Facebook for several reasons, but I want to hide the silly headlines--hence this project.

For those interested in breaking free from the Facebook trending news headlines, I wrote an open source extension to replace them with stories from real news sources (or any RSS feed): http://www.fluffblocker.com/

I think this would be more interesting if it showed a random repo with more than n stars (maybe n = 10?). There are a lot of empty user profiles.

TF's copyright reporting is often good, but this headline is silly clickbait, if technically accurate. The defendants argued that copyright does not protect these things, but the court hasn't ruled on the issue. Most readers won't parse the technical distinction between "court hears" and "court holds."

Not sure why you're being downvoted so much. The statute clearly imposes penalties for impersonation "without consent," so consent is a defense here.

There are lots of competent tech lawyers on HN.

No. The safe harbor only applies to copyright infringement.

If you send a DMCA takedown notice, you don't get to choose the status code that gets displayed after the content is removed.

What would the $1200 upgrades entail? Seems that you could build a machine with enough power from scratch for around $1200.

If writing code isn't speech, what is it?

Did you read the article? Here's an excerpt from the discussion about the Peonage Cases:

    While some of these statutes—such as Florida’s sanctions for impudence—went beyond the mere punishing of breach of contract, all of them operated within a thick web of other laws that had the effect of suppressing competition between employers, further restricting the choices available to African-American workers. First, states passed anti-enticement laws that created penalties for those who tried to lure away employees with offers of better wages or working conditions.  Second, emigrant agents, who recruited African-American workers in areas of low employment and transported them to jobs in distant, labor-starved markets, were subject to onerous licensing and taxation requirements.355 Georgia, for example, levied a tax of $500 on emigrant agents for each county in which they operated.356 Mississippi made it a crime to “entice . . . [any] negro” to leave the state.

Courts apply the Thirteenth Amendment to cases involving the "badges and incidents of slavery." Usually, that refers to some form of systematic oppression of African Americans. It definitely doesn't include forcing Apple to write and sign code.

Courts have almost never applied the Thirteenth Amendment to claims by people not descended from slaves.

No, I don't think it's contradictory. Money can be speech, but sometimes there are good reasons to restrict free speech. One reason is that money can corrupt the democratic process--which is why the Supreme Court hasn't struck down limits on direct contributions to candidates (but god help us if they do).

Edit: It's a common misconception that Citizens United allowed unlimited campaign contributions to candidates. That's not quite true--it allowed unlimited independent expenditures by corporations, but not unlimited contributions directly to candidates. The Supreme Court held in Buckley (1976) that the limit on direct contributions was a constitutional restriction on free speech because of the government's interest in "the prevention of corruption and the appearance of corruption spawned by the real or imagined coercive influence of large financial contributions on candidates' positions and on their actions if elected to office." That ruling still stands.

Edit 2: Citizens United didn't hold that corporations are people--that doctrine has been around for a century. It held that because corporations are people, they have the same speech rights as natural persons--namely, to make unlimited independent expenditures.

OK, but their race is still irrelevant.

I think the idea is that the racial parenthetical is completely irrelevant. It adds no meaning except to underline the point about "shady characters."

This is excellent, but unfortunately it will not protect any data on the millions of iPhones that already exist.

An enormous part of that $14.5b funds growth, not maintenance.

It's also the name of a JavaScript HTML5 canvas library: http://fabricjs.com/

Telemarketing is annoying but generally not illegal.

Actually, the FCC has several ways for you to report spoofing: https://consumercomplaints.fcc.gov/hc/en-us/articles/2026543...

How would you recommend separating them? In the deployment instructions, I recommend using a separate database server, so this container is mainly running Nginx+Gunicorn+Django in production. The local MySQL server is only there for dev convenience.

Agreed. Would be great to get an alert only when the issue is closed. That could also work as a rough voting system.

This has happened to Lessig on several occasions, too, and one time he fought back: http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2014/02/lawrence-lessig-w...

Would not be surprised to see Terry Fisher do the same.

*bother learning

I agree that the Vim learning curve is steeper, but many of these TILs veer towards higher-level Vim wizardry--the kind of things that most Vim users will never both learning (and will never need to). Many of them are also way beyond the capacity of Sublime or Nano.

Nope. Take a look at the complaint (linked in the article)--specifically on the last page.
