Reading the complaint, it's clear their focus is not on generic tracker source code but on copyrighted file metadata being preloaded into the tracker source code:

To update that number, the new turbocharged engines required in Formula 1 since 2014 are much quieter (to some fans' dismay), maxing out around 100 dB.
This is a larger factor for me than is given weight by car reviewers (with the exception of Consumer Reports' negative reviews of Ford SYNC). Knowing how much better car interfaces can and will be, I have steered clear of the current crop.
Excellent! I had this same idea in 2011, kudos on the execution! The size difference between animated GIF and actual video codecs is vast and the idea seemed obvious. I made a quick mashup with ffmpeg+Django (I'd use Go/MongoDB for web instead of Django these days.)
HTML5 video wasn't uniformly supported across browsers (and remember Google announced Chrome would drop h.264 around that time) and I didn't get positive responses on the idea. Maybe with more tools to support HTML5 video in animated GIF use cases and educational tools showing the difference in loading times and encoding algorithms this idea could take hold.
Also the WebP engineers have developed an animated WebP format which I disagree with but could be a step toward breaking GIF's monopoly on short animations.
Skimming through the page, Amazon is going for a landgrab too with 76 gTLDs. Interesting to see how the major web player prioritized this. Microsoft went for 11 highly relevant gTLDs and Facebook for none.
I do like Python but haven't used it for anything more than a few thousand lines.
The dynamic nature puts many errors into the runtime stage and increases verification complexity. Can be limited by static code checking, but grows cumbersome.
Looking at go-hero.net, it's interesting how the successful, popular languages in the past compare against the TIOBE index; what people want to use versus what the _have_ to use.
