Grma boc - brón orm, tá mé ghiotaín beag déanach leis an freagra ;) If you check out the source you'll see it's pretty straightforward, I'm leveraging a project called abair.ie from Dublin University to do the TTS back an forth and yeah then just firing it on to chatgpt. Works surprisingly ok.
Please keep docker swarm going guys, it's a great product.
Docker cloud is no loss (with apologies to those who are using it in production) and will hopefully free up your people to work on other important stuff.
Otherwise if we can continue to use the compose configuration api and the docker deploy/service api with k8s under the hood then I guess that's a reasonable compromise.
The Generating JSON from SQL episode is cool but i'd really like to see an advanced follow up. For instance I've written a query to serialise a collection of records that have many relationships embedded, that conforms to the jsonapi 1.0 standard. Works great but very messy with deeply nested subqueries - hard to read, hard to reuse or alter. I'd really like to see an episode demonstrating a more composable way to craft a complex query like the aforementioned.
While Greece have lost this battle, he has shone a light into the murky workings of European politics that I believe will be invaluable and inspiring to future reformers, not to mention the citizens of the EU member states.
I'm just wondering what the heck Greece has done with the some half trillion Euros it's sucked in over the years and which hard-pressed taxpayers across Europe, many with standards of living below that of the average Greek, will now be helping to offset?
> Only a small fraction of the €240bn (£170bn) total bailout money Greece received in 2010 and 2012 found its way into the government’s coffers to soften the blow of the 2008 financial crash and fund reform programmes.
> Most of the money went to the banks that lent Greece funds before the crash.
They money from the bailouts went to pay debts that Greece owed on pre-2008 loans, and was not available to the Greek government to be used for social or economic restructuring.
I'm not certain at all what your basis for your comment is.
Almost all of it was used for dept payments I believe.
Alas, this sort of thing (protect the interests of capital) is pretty normal. In the US, bankers got a bailout and homeowners lost their homes for example.
Of the bailout money, yes. But bear in mind that the bailout money (at least the initial tranche) was to take on debt that had already been spent. It most definitely is not that case that that money was spent on debt re-payments.
It's fair to say that a lot of subsequent additional money was primarily used to cover debt re-payments but that's because the original debt was so large (relative to the Greek economy).
Well the ECB could just print couple of trillion euro and hang them out divided to each country. We will have a little inflation and that's it. Greece will be debt free and there will be no burdens on the taxpayers.
Actually Greece has a printing press for Euros (apparently you can tell which euro notes are printed in Greece by the serial number). I have been half expecting Greece to solve all its problems by just printing.
Me thinks even the Greeks would not have too much problem putting the German code on their new notes. Of course this would be interpreted as a declaration of war by the eu so it would not be wise.
In the early 20th century there was a high-profile case in Portugal, where a forger managed to convice Waterlow and Sons (a currency printer in the UK, since bought by De La Rue and currently one of the Euro printers) to print batches of portuguese notes.
These were, of course, indistinguishable from real notes. The scheme ultimately failed when a mistake caused the printing of duplicate serial numbers already ordered by the state.
I doubt a scheme like this would work today in the slightest. If in an un-digitized world this didn't last long, in today's world it would quickly be discovered.
This is a bit different in that Greece has control over a real printing press. While it would be unlikely to be kept hidden, it should be possible for the Greek printers to avoid overlapping serials numbers.
In practice they could only start their own “unauthorised” printing if it was kept secret since if it leaked the ECB would just issue new notes. This would likely be highly disruptive to the ECB as it was to Portugal.
500 000 million spread over 10 million people for 20 years is only 2500 euros per person per year. Assuming a large chunk of this amount was interest then it makes a lot more sense where all the money went.
Greece has lost the war. Fortunately the resistance was strong enough against his completely exagerated expectations. Such parties are not normally at the helm neither in US nor Europe. Care to elaborate murky workings?
That's still all on one machine; Dokku can't automatically schedule & distribute containers/processes across a cluster of hosts like Empire & others can.
If you're doing anything non trivial you're going to outgrow one machine pretty soon :)
Also please make content id available to all rights holders.
I made the mistake of signing up with an advertising company with content id access, simply because i was curious as to who was using my CC licensed music (non-commercial) in their videos.
At first it all worked very well and the ad company compiled a list of videos using my songs some with millions of views which was very gratifying regardless of the (in some cases) liberal interpretation of the content licensing.
Over the next few weeks however most of the video makers took down my music in response to the correspondence they were receiving from youtube viz. complying with compulsory advertising.
I tried to contact some of the video makers via their channels and eventually succeeded in one case. The person in question forwarded me some of the content id compliance literature and to be fair it was very heavy handed. In their position I would likely have reacted as they did.
As my music continued to be removed / taken-down I attempted successfully to extricate myself from the ad platform but the damage had been done and to my knowledge none of the content-creators who complied with the take-down notices are using my music now.
Afterwards I attempted to sign up for content id myself and also contacted youtube's customer service but received no response in either case.
Content id could be of huge benefit to music producers, like myself, if (a) it was available (!) and (b) it had more nuanced controls. I would be happy to pay an annual subs, for example, to identify my music on youtube so I could contact and possibly negotiate with a video-maker over the rights to use my music in a commercial setting.
Forced advertising, which lets be honest is a pretty abhorrent concept anyway, simply does not work, at least in my experience.
I don't believe that is going to happen. That's why we started https://pexe.so where we are offering content id to every content creator, go outside of YouTube (still included though) and focus way more on analytics than just rights enforcement
> Also please make content id available to all rights holders.
Unfortunately, I don't think that that is feasible for them. Everyone is a potential rights holder, and granting everyone access to that would likely lead to widespread abuse. Individuals would often claim that they own content that they do not (in order to take down or monetize videos). Even with the limited set of groups that can use Content ID, there is still invalid usage - I remember a few years ago seeing a public domain video taken down because a news company had played the public domain video during its broadcast and then had later claimed that it owned that content. Imagine if everyone had the ability to claim that they owned everything and tried to takedown or monetize a lot of things that they don't own.
Instead, I think it's probably better that they limit Content ID to a set of groups that they trust, where they can actually deal with any abuse on a smaller scale.
In my case I would be happy to supply whatever legal evidence is required to satisfy youtube that I own the full rights to all the music I've written.
Perhaps your point is that even running checks like that require manpower that google/youtube simply aren't willing to commit to.
In that case what about a simple transparency type report? Assuming all videos are analyzed by content id, couldn't youtube publish or maintain an archive of songs used in video that would be searchable by any interested party.
This happened about a year ago and since I'm not dependent on music for my livelihood, disappointed as I was with the outcome, I just moved on and forgot about it.
I can't exactly recall the correspondence with the advertising company but they assured me that they would immediately cease issuing compliance notices on my behalf.
Beyond that I never again tried to engage youtube / content-id myself to see what's what.
I know there is a mechanism for those affected by the takedown notices to challenge them, which I guess in my case they should win, but the easier thing is just get another piece of CC music for the video.
Sucks for me but easy solution for the video-maker.
> I know there is a mechanism for those affected by the takedown notices to challenge them, which I guess in my case they should win
You would think that, but YouTube's Content ID system does not work that way.
It should work the same way the DMCA does: if you get a notice, you post a counter-notice, your content goes right back up without question, and if the purported content owner wants to escalate further they have to sue you.
Instead, with Content ID, if you "appeal", the appeal goes to the purported content owner, who then has complete discretion to say "no, you're still infringing", with no third-party review or ability to appeal further. Because of course the content owner would never deny Fair Use or claim a piece of content that they don't actually own...
> Instead, with Content ID, if you "appeal", the appeal goes to the purported content owner, who then has complete discretion to say "no, you're still infringing", with no third-party review or ability to appeal further.
This hadn't been true for a couple of years now, as covered in the article. At the appeal either the content owner has to let the content go back up or file an actual DMCA takedown notice.
My comment was based on the reports of several different channels I've followed that have had to deal with spurious Content ID claims. According to those reports, there was no mechanism for further appeal if the Content ID claimant denied the initial appeal. In particular, there was no apparent mechanism to file a DMCA counterclaim and have the content restored despite the Content ID claim. The "DMCA Notice" box in the article's flowchart appears to be a terminal state.
On top of that, according to the article, you can only have so many appeals in progress at any given time, and Content ID claimants can delay responding to such appeals for 30 days.
That would be my immediate and rapid reaction to receiving a Content ID claim that wanted to do anything more than link to the original content (which I'd normally do anyway): "well, time to move to a different video hosting site".
