I can't imagine the incredible amount of man-hours that were wasted on detecting if your video has fucking copyrighted material in it. Absolute shame.


Off-topic: this is one of the few comments you have that aren't dead.


The technology has existed for a nearly 20 years.

Shazam [0] existed long before smartphones and could identify songs based on 10 second samples. YouTube can easily leverage this song-identifying technology to detect copyrighted material.

Recognising a song is not the same as recognising copyright.


Of course not, but if it can recognize the song, and the record labels have given YouTube a list of copyrighted songs, it's not too hard to put the two together.


If you accept the false positives that impact lots of us, then sure, it's not too hard. This is one of those cases where 99% is easy but society needs 100% and that's not as easy.


Not just them. There are companies that exist primarily to help content creators manage this stuff. It's insane.


I'd like to see a total energy comparison between Content ID and Bitcoin PoW.


The reason why is right in plain sight: because most women aren't actually interested in tech jobs. And before you start fuming and downvote me, go look at Scandinavian countries (countries that have the most gender equality in the world) and look at the gender disparities in tech/nursing/schoolteacher jobs. It's not the 50/50 utopian vision you think it is.


I'm not asking for 50/50, I'm asking for equal opportunity.

At the moment its not equal. There are many societal issues that affect this. They even still affect Sweden et al.

I'm not asking for controversial things, like quotas, I'm just asking for companies to use the training schemes they have to get local talent thats representative of the cohort taking up CS subjects at 16.

Currently, having a 50:1 ratio is not anything like good enough. especially as its something like 25:75 split at 16

Why? Is it written in their genes, or is it something we discourage them from? Is it perhaps something else?


It's better to pick a region (or if in the West, maybe a state) and just visit that. Many foreigners don't realize how big the US really is. Doing cross-country roadtrips is a great way to suck up time doing nothing but driving.

Do something like visit New England for a month and stay in a new state each week.


A company that is nowhere near being profitable (on top of virtually no cash flow) is going public?


That seems extremely common. For a stretch there every tech S1 I saw said "we don't make money, we've never made money, we have no idea how we're going to make money in the future".


Li-ion batteries have been the same for like 40 years, they've just gotten smaller.


Why are you OK with one of the world's largest marketplaces banning children's books while also allowing the sale of stuff like the Anarchist's Cookbook and all the ingredients to make a nail bomb?


This is what happens when sheltered white people on Twitter get bored.


I've banned this account for using HN primarily for ideological battle and also for the trollish username. We've asked you many times to stop the former, and you seem to have ignored my question about the latter (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25362566).


In a way, it's absolutely hilarious. The fact that people were so outraged by this (which was a bait attempt at a meme a rational person could see a mile away) shows they're willing to be controlled by the very people they hate.


You sound like someone who'd have a problem with someone because their last name is Lynch.


Yup, try using the words niggle and niggardly in a public setting.
