One day I saw my son watching Khan Academy videos on YouTube and I wondered if I could make the experience easier for kids. [...] Wouldn’t it be cool if the could just click an app and instantly watch? So this was the initial inspiration and I wrote a simple YouTube client app using the latest YouTube APIs to watch Khan Academy videos. [...] The good thing about this app idea is that I can take any YouTube channel id, plug it into and now I’ve got another new app. So, one day I posted 10 apps to the play store with a few of my favorite YouTube channels and the Khan Academy channel and it was kind of exciting. [...] A few weeks went by and I got an email stating one of my apps had been suspended. [...] The suspension email stated that I was trying to impersonate another company, and that this was forbidden. [...] After a few more weeks another app was suspended. And again I thought: “OK, 2 down 8 more to go, that’s cool.” I was planning on taking all these apps down in a few weeks anyway. Another few weeks go by and a third app was suspended and also my entire Google play account was terminated for life.
3 apps suspensions and you're banned for life. Different rules apply for different violations, for copying someone's else code I think they would ban for life.
I think google cache can show that you created the website with the game first, then create a text file or something on the server that the support could access to show that you actually operate the site. If the other developer that has stolen the code can't provide a proof then it's fairly easy for the support to decide. The problem is of course that you need sane support for this to work.
The trick is to remember the product of every number multiplied by itself and go from there.
It's easier for me to know that 7x7 is 49 or that 8x8 is 64.
Then I either go up or go down. If asked what the sum of 7x8 is I remember that 7x7 is 49 and add 7 to it or remember that 8x8 is 64 and substract 8 from 64.
Overprotecting intellectual property is as harmful as underprotecting it. Culture is impossible without a rich public domain. Nothing today, likely nothing since we tamed fire, is genuinely new: Culture, like science and technology, grows by accretion, each new creator building on the works of those who came before. Overprotection stifles the very creative forces it's supposed to nurture.

When you create an account and the username already exists, the website tells you that. How is this difficult for someone to do this instead of guessing the username on the login page? It's the same.
- They don't mention in the presentation that you should port your current projects to 3.x Use it for your new projects.
- It would take a lot of time for Mercurial team because they work with files and have to support a lot of cases, encodings and stuff. Python 3 does a lot for the developer now.
- Mercurial is not the best example because you aren't supposed to use their internal API anyway. It's their choice to port it to 3 or not.
I think it was "author's certificate", also called a "inventor's certificate". It didn't give the author the right to exclusively use the invention. There were no exclusive patents in the Soviet Union, if I recall correctly.
Requiring an account might be okay if you can delete your account later.
Pulse.me doesn't provide such functionality. At least I didn't find it.
I've signed up and then I don't want to use it anymore, why can't I just remove my account?
