It seems like it must have something to do with different departments tracking revenue, but the way this is being rolled out is pretty strange. There's no mention of it anywhere on the YouTube homepage, so you would have to search for it specifically, and it's not even the top result on Google when you search for "youtube red." To know that you have access to Google Play Music, you have to scroll all the way down to FAQ point 5. Maybe the subscriptions were integrated recently and the administrative barriers to approve new marketing materials prevented them from being ready for launch. But I can only speculate.
The HR head of facilities said he "got complaints" about it. I can only speculate on the real reason, but I think it was likely because the only place I could fit it in the office was in a thoroughfare with decent foot traffic.

It blocked about a quarter of the width of the path on which it was located. The individual from HR said he loved the chair and he would be happy for us to keep it if we have more space and I believe him.

> Here's an interesting anecdote, I've applied to Google directly, for specific positions I would be qualified for, about a half dozen times and gotten crickets each time. Then out of the blue, months later, I'll get contacted via Linkedin by a recruiter who ends up funneling me into filling a position I couldn't possibly fulfill -- and I'm very open about that up front. I've even sent open job reqs back to the recruiter that I thought I'd be better for, but some kind of internal momentum has dictated that I'm now in the queue for some job I don't want and wouldn't qualify for anyways.

Been there, done that, got the logo water bottle. I told the recruiters multiple times that I was fundamentally a systems/embedded developer and that I wanted a systems/embedded job (despite currently working in NLP). I was told they would make sure my rotation included people from those groups. I show up, and it's all guys from Search and Maps who want to ask me NLP and ML questions. :| The interview group was so far off my background and interests that one guy literally had to scrap all the questions he planned to ask. Overall it was a huge waste of time for everyone involved and money for Google, and has permanently turned me off the company.
Maybe. It's also a pretty fair acknowledgement that Youtube Red is bundling Google Play Music in for the exact same price so "Why should people with Google Play Music have to cancel their subscription to GPM and sign up again for Youtube Red?". Instead just give it to them as part of their current subscription.
There are times when the Constitution can be overlooked for the sake of public safety. Abraham Lincoln famously suspended habeas corpus during Civil War riots, and most historians look favorably upon the decision to maintain order during the young United States' most turbulent time in history.

The NSA, on the other hand, not only lacks the rationale of clear and immenent danger for continuing their dragnet program, but it has been shown time and time again that such programs have a minimal, if any, effect on protecting American citizens from acts of terrorism. For the sake of public faith in a democracy with checks and balances, the dragnet should be stopped.

Just pulling some actual numbers about pools, 2.5M liters raised 2 meters, is 50M joules or about 13.8kWH. My house consumes about 24kWH a day so that is about half the power I use. Or put a different way, if during the "solar day" (5 hours of peak sunlight) my system generated 24kW, and my house used 2kW/hr nominally then 10 of those kW would go into the house, the other 14kW into pumping water, which would start draining after the Sun went down providing me enough energy until the next solar day started.

Sure, but again "conviction rate" is too coarse of a metric to make any meaningful conclusions about guilt/innocence or why the rate is so high.

Japan, for example, has a 99% conviction rate but Ramseyer attributes much of that to the fact that prosecution offices are so understaffed and under-resourced there that they can manage to bring only the strongest of cases.[1] So you're much better off in a place like that because if you have a marginal case you won't even have to go to trial to be acquitted--the charges will be dropped beforehand.

How much can they really charge that makes it worth spending ten minutes kneading, ten minutes washing your hands and the next two days pulling out arm hairs with caked on dough? That's my experience with bread making anyway.

To me, the highest cost of cooking for myself is planning and shopping. The value, therefore, is to offload the thinking, planning, and shopping part of this. The prep and cleanup is actually fun and easy to fit into my schedule. Therefore, solid value prop and great idea.

Further, imo, the cost and packaging "waste" is nothing significant. When I shop for myself I still get packaging. Worse yet, a lot of food gets wasted anyway, i.e. because the grocery store doesn't sell me exactly as much food as I need, whereas Gobble does. I suspect this is actually more efficient, i.e. on all frontiers, especially given the waste I always generate from shopping for these ingredients.
Google recommends against hosting their tracking javascript locally, but that in combination with a server-side proxy (POSTING to https://example.com/a forwards to https://analytics.google.com/collect) might be the most resilient to ad blocking techniques.
The problem is that current democracy is no democracy at all in most countries. It support corruption, the governments are barely changing (same deputies, the name just changes), total detachment of administration from real human problems, hostile approach towards small businesses.

The thing is that true patriot and authoritarian government for a decade can fix many problems that democracy cant handle. Once again - not everywhere though.

In Libia for example most people loved Kadaffi. Yet, he was removed by revolution that would surely fail if not for major help from west. Kadaffi while violent man, managed to make Libia in to blooming example of African country that can distribute prosperity to majority of people.

Let us check Singapore - did it work? Sure. Was it bad for people? Not really. Obviously there will be some affected by strong power, but devastating majority seen their lives skyrocketing comparing to Malasia.

The issue is that majority of strong Leaders are either military man, or democratically chosen governments that refuse to give power away - and they are often bad news.

From the comments:

"You usually do a good job covering this topic but this article is not up to your usual standard. You portray the court's opinion as tautological - "And now the courts essentially maintain that the original surveillance is legal because Congress says it's legal" - but this is a misleading and unfair caricature. The background of this case is that this 2nd Circuit panel said that bulk collection of metadata was illegal because Congress never authorized such a tactic under the Patriot Act. Note that the court said it was illegal because it was not statutorily authorized. It did not conclude the program violated a constitutional clause, right or principle. You conflate these two very different things when you write in your article:

Quote:

So how could something so seemingly unconstitutional continue? Congress said it could, that's how.

Statutorily unauthorized is not the same thing as unconstitutional - the panel never said in their original ruling that the bulk metadata collection was unconstitutional, only that it was unauthorized by the law the government cited for its legality.

Now, in this latest ruling, the 2nd Circuit panel is saying with the recent passage of the Freedom Act, Congress has provided the authorization that was missing under the Patriot Act for the bulk metadata collection. So yes, in a sense, the previously illegal bulk collection program is now legal because Congress says it's legal but that's not twisted logic - that's how laws work. Acts are legal or illegal because the legislative body says so. Previously, the court said the metadata program wasn't authorized by the law - now, the new revised law provides that authorization. There's nothing twisted about that legal reasoning.

To be clear, I oppose the metadata collection or the indiscriminate NSA surveillance. But I do not think this article fairly summarize the reasoning in the court's opinion."
I used to think his browsing/emailing habits were silly, but then I started working in the park about 5 years ago on nice days. My phone data plan at the time was pretty crappy, so I rigged up a system using a local imap server and offlineimap/msmtp/msmtp-queue to effectively work offline. I'd get my batch of emails once at the beginning of the day, and I could attend to them (reply, forward, copy, etc) over the course of the work day, and batch-send them all out when I'd be connected again.

I never got to the point of having a bot fetch web pages for me, but I can see it as an extension of what I had set up. For someone who travels as much as Stallman, I think it's a very efficient way to browse and email when internet connections are either spotty or not to be trusted.

I guess people at Youtube HQ spent to long reading Youtube comments and assumed everyone that usues the service is stupid and would pay for a bunch of pointless crap.

""Scare PewDiePie" is a reality horror series that puts the most popular YouTuber PewDiePie, also known as Felix Kjellberg, into terrifying situations, inspired by video games.

I was trying to think as why they did this. At first I thought it may have been licensing related, but I'm guessing that's not the case. I primarily think is that you will be able to bypass visual aspect of ads if your screen is locked. It could also just be that they want to "create value" with the subscription.
The Google Music app nags you about this. I think many will realise they have access.
The comic says that in 1960 parents blamed students for poor grades, while in 2010 parent blame teachers.

Do you have any evidence that that's actually true? My examples demonstrate that it was far from universally true in the 1960s.

If was was true, when did it change? There are plenty of complaints in the 1970s complaining about how the parents are at fault. In fact, I can find complaints from the 1940s about how the young people these days have things given to them on a platter and never have to face any challenges.

If it isn't claiming an actual historical propensity, why does it use "1960"?

And if you think the highly unionized school teacher of the 1960s was effective, then why do you think unions are the problem now?

So it's electronically (rather than chemically) powered explosive welding? Neat. Unfortunately, the last picture on the article seems to suggest it causes a fair amount of material distortion, and doesn't weld at the centre of the joint, only the edges. Still, very cool - I'm not sure automotive is the right application area, but I'm sure it will be applications. Corrosion-resistant cladding for petrochemical applications, or maybe even in-orbit assembly comes to mind.
> It was an unjust system that hurt a lot of innocent children

If the current system (where marriage and procreation are notionally separate) were found to hurt a lot of innocent children, would we call our system unjust and abandon it?

I suspect not. The current culture around marriage and parenting didn't evolve from pragmatism as much as (various takes on) ethics, morality, and self-determinism.
I think with this initial pool of already signed-up users, Red effectively skips the first stage of user attraction.

I am not familiar how accounting works for this, but Red would have a pool of revenue to distribute to from very early on, so the creators would have more incentive to create Red-exclusive content. Nice bootstrap strategy indeed.

Not sure, such is the sad state of the world.

But it would be especially important to have SOMETHING that can run multiple applications while being 100% sure that it is enforcing security between them.

So far everything has been a total disaster, with browsers getting completely owned every year at Pwn2Own, conventional kernels being effectively expected to be locally exploitable at all times (which means all mobile sandboxes are broken as well), and hypervisors where Xen seems to be the most secure of the ones that are mature, and is still terrible.
I think that the threat of infectious diseases like ebola and TB are among the main reasons for developed nations to get serious about reducing economic inequality both globally and within developed countries.

I live in LA and a few years back there were several articles written about TB spreading within the homeless population. With all the resources that the US government pays to monitor its population to try to prevent a terrorists from using things like biological weapons, you would think that the US government would be concerned about members of the homeless population that are carrying TB or MDR-TB. The infected homeless are basically untrackable since they most likely don't have bank accounts, home addresses, etc.

If you told the CIA that you knew of an untraceable terrorist sleeper cell in the US spreading a contagious disease, you would likely have their full attention. In some ways this is what's being allowed to happen, even as the US dumps billions into fighting terrorism abroad.

Working to reduce inequality abroad might also help to stop outbreaks like we saw with ebola. I think in the future, people will look back and say "Well of course there was going to be a global pandemic that wiped out X percent of the world population. You can't have a world that is hyper-connected with air travel while simultaneously leaving most of the population in poverty without getting that result."

Many ask about a comparison of our software to Promethease/SNPedia:

No. But I've lived in the same area for a while and know how to get around so it doesn't come up much. I use a dedicated GPS device in my car when I need it and prefer that to a smartphone app.
Nope, the question is indeed inviting to a political discussion, but is not suggesting any answer. It is you that attribute that intention to the parent comment; I guess to avoid an otherwise interesting political discussion
The article's lede ("[y]ou gotta love this twisted logic") makes no sense. The court originally halted the program because it was not authorized by statute. Congress revised the statute to dismantle the program, but provided for a 180 day transition. The ACLU sought an injunction to dismantle the program immediately. The Court held that the 180 day transition period in the USA Freedom Act authorized the program during the wind-down. There is absolutely nothing "twisted" about that logic. It's plainly what Congress intended, and consistent with the court's earlier decision.

If you want to fault the court, fault it for punting on the Constitutional question. The court properly declined to answer it last time, because it could decide the case on the alternate basis that the program was unauthorized by statute (the doctrine of Constitutional avoidance). But this time the question was squarely presented. If the NSA program is unconstitutional, Congress cannot authorize it, even for 180 days.

The court had a valid reason to avoid deciding the constitutional issue: this was a motion for preliminary injunction, and probably an inappropriate context for deciding a major Constitutional question. But it's not clear to me that the court had the discretion to avoid the issue now.
