I've been asking this myself specifically about Youtube lately. Sure, if I watch a poker/snooker/aoe2 video once, my home page will be plastered with videos on the same topic, but I barely ever click those videos and they remain there for weeks or months.

But the stuff that I really like I hardly ever get suggestions for related videos. Eg. h3h3, idubbbz, ozzy man reviews.

In particular, I wish that I could discover more channels that I want to subscribe to.

I'm thinking it's a multifaceted problem:

- a lack of content creators that are like these

- difficulty in drawing connections between channels

- overwhelming amounts "easy" content for simple suggestions

I have trouble believing they can't draw connections between channels, and I also have trouble believing they can't filter out low quality "easy" content suggestions when I basically never go there.

However; I feel like Google is ignoring my most watched content for suggestions, possibly because they've demonetized a lot of the content that I enjoy, which means they can't profit by suggesting those videos.
Your comment indicates you may not know about how Prop. 13 works.

Property valuations can get small year-to-year bumps, but a sale triggers a re-assessment, with vastly increased property taxes after that. My neighbor across the street bought in 1975 for $28K, and their valuation for tax assessment last year was $162K. Their next-door neighbor bought last year for $1.5M and their assessed value is $920K. Their houses are quite similar, but one pays $7500 more a year in property taxes.

That difference can motivate people to endure a long commute, to hang on to a low assessment.
Google's answer to this is to (currently) support VP9 and H264. iOS and Safari users just get the inferior quality video.
I totally agree. I actually love both Linux and my Surface, but I would never put Linux on the Surface, for exactly that reason. Touch-friendliness is one of those things that's just going to take a while on Linux if it comes at all: a lot of the people who might contribute tend to be the same sort of people who turn up their noses at touch interfaces on a desktop OS.

As for the WiFi, that's probably more Microsoft's fault. For some reason they insist on using these godawful Marvell chipsets for all the Surfaces. Users have been yelling at them to pick anything else, but it hasn't stuck.
> Those decisions are approved and closely monitored by federal agencies responsible for national security.

Do you have any evidence for that claim? As far as I can see, they have had no influence on such decisions.

> The FEC is just another arm for the FBI.

Do you have any evidence for that claim, beyond just "they share the same block"?
Someone getting $1000 a month from Social Security +$400 in other benefits, while living in their car in Los Angeles has an interesting set of priorities. If they lived in a small town in rural Ohio with $1000 a month, they would have a much higher standard of living.
...dude, what?!

You have an incredibly weird, and adversarial, opinion of 'most tech people'.

I'd work with Republican ex-military folks as long as they didn't force their political opinions on me, and I'd know that I should keep my (British moderate, so from American POV very far left) views to myself. I've worked on events with a couple of ex British army guys, and they are extremely competent and very interesting people.
It doesn't have to be either or, we should make communities healthier AND make police more professional and fair.

A shame to see there's no update to the iPad mini. For casual users, it's not so useful any more, with the larger iPhones of today, but it's very useful for professional and business use in cases where space/size is a constraint, and an iPhone isn't warranted.

The app we develop has quite a few users on iPad minis. Apart from the fact that it's only for iPad, I don't think we would get many users moving to using an iPhone, firstly because of cost, and secondly because it's just a bit too small.
Currently it looks like Electrino only supports macOS. Doesn't it sort of defeat one of the purposes of using a web-based framework for desktop apps if it's not even cross-platform?
I have similar friends, he's a software developer.
This seems like terrible advice to me. "Men with daughters are less sexist" and "Men whose wives work are more sympathetic to working mothers" are extremely vague, only loosely correlated to what you want to know, and pure anecdata. Someone could make up an equally plausible counter-argument (say, "men with young daughters are more likely to infantilize female coworkers"), but it would still just be story-telling.

If you want to know how your possible-future boss treats the women he works with, how about, "Have you had any women report to you? How'd that work out? Were there conflicts, and if so, how did you resolve them? Do you think they'd be happy to work for you again?" I'd be happy to answer those questions. Asking what my wife does for a living will get you a very awkward, "Er, let's get back to the interview."
I agree. I've seen these warnings from time to time and assumed like you did that the other person had linked to another spreadsheet or used OLE or something. I clicked no because I was sure I didn't have whatever other file it might be linking to, not because I was concerned it might be insecure.

Do you need an account to actually make Pinterest useful?

Sometimes I do a Google Image search because I found something interesting, but don't know what it is, so I'm hoping of going to a page that describes what I was looking at. Pinterest shows up as a result, but with no backstory nor does it lead me back to a source, so it's worthless as a search result. It'd the ExpertsExchange of image searches.

Endy's advice of using `-inurl:pinterest` seems invaluable and I'll be adding that for all image searches in the future.
I really wish we would stop calling it ES6. Browser vendors should be especially careful to call ES2015 by its correct name and help stop perpetuating the confusion (ES6, ES7, ES2016, ES2017, you can see how this quickly gets confusing).
The iPhone has a secure enclave that does elliptic curve key generation and signing[0]. I'd be surprised if they do not implement that soon; it's not terribly difficult[1].

Not to mention, that such a discovery would be significant enough - that a protocol upgrade and fork would be inevitable, in order to protect addresses retroactively.
Which dock do you use?

I suspect that the choice of whether or not to include Thunderbolt 3 is constrained by the available chip sets from Intel rather than a design intent from Microsoft. Looks like Intel is going to make that an option however (https://liliputing.com/2017/05/intel-thunderbolt-3-will-inte...) so I would not doubt to see it brought out on laptops that use chip sets that incorporate it.
I was responding to a comment that was clearly anecdotal in nature (the comment uses the phrase "currently appear"), and offered my own anecdote in response. I don't think that is an unreasonable thing to respond with.

Also, you know ZERO developers who use Macs? That seems crazy, or you don't know many developers.

If my iMac purchased in 2012 is anything to go by, it'll still be great in 5 years and only the GPU will really feel its age.

But then if you're a pro user who buys the thing to make money with, it's probably more tax-effective to keep it 3 or so years then buy something new
To be honest, if anything, your preconception of other environments does not advertise your own environment well. I can't even tell if there's actually a tech company somewhere stupid enough to say they require someone to agree with antifa, or it's just made up. But mentioning that as something more than a crazy outlier is silly.
Interestingly, (and despite an erroneous popular belief), prior to this there was no evidence Russia "hacked" the election other than social-media-enhanced "firehose of falsehood" propaganda.

In other words, holy shit. Looks like someone in the intelligence community decided to hit back a Putin after his recent comments.
Usually tedium is what happens when literary novelists experiment with Sci-Fi. And the same when SF novelists try to get too lit'rary. Atwood has a couple of corkers though.
A Web MIDI implementation would be great as well (and in keeping with Apple's usual level of attention to MIDI and other audio production niceties) but it's admittedly a pretty niche feature with very few people active in the spec outside of Chromium.

I disagree with your claim that there has never been a widespread norm. On university campuses in particular, there was a long-standing norm of tolerating radical and controversial opinions.

If a large group of private universities all retaliate against students for expressing certain opinions (which is what's happening) then that causes the same harm as if the government does it. As I've argued elsewhere in this thread, that's analogous to how discrimination is harmful even if it's by private institutions instead of by the government.
I'm not sure if this will hurt the paid subscription model. I pay for WSJ. People who want to rely on "free" news deserve the news they get.

While their google traffic may decrease, they may end up getting more paid subscribers.
But many (most?) of the jobs created by airlines, radio, etc, have a low barrier to entry and are easily replaceable. I could be wrong since I don't know what technological breakthroughs will come in the next few decades, but my educated guess is that the new wave of job opportunities will be much more specialized and require higher levels of education, like engineers and scientists. And aside from the sheer difficulty of transitioning into that kind of a career without prior education/experience in the relevant field(s), it's unlikely that the market will need as many people to fill those shoes. So even if everyone that holds an obsolete job now could make the transition, there wouldn't be enough market demand for all of them to find jobs.

Again, this is all speculative, but I just don't see a likely scenario in which enough low-level jobs are created to replace the ones that are lost to technology and automation.
ES6 is 3 syllables. ES2015 is 6 or 7 (depending if you say "twenty fifteen" or "two thousand fifteen").

I'm a dev. I'm lazy. I have no particular objection to the idea of moving away from ES6 as a name, but if the new name isn't more useful, it's not going to gain any ground.

It's completely useful for casual users - my mom can't lift the iPad Air2 but a mini is quite usable for her.

It's too bad that for Apple, form factor (i.e., size) is tied to premium status.

Maybe in 6-12mo they'll release an iPad 2017 mini version?
HealthKit is still going. They announced some big wins with HealthKit on the Apple Watch but they weren't included in the keynote. More than likely, there wasn't enough time considering the keynote without any HealthKit announcements was already longer than normal.

I'm not trying to set (or move) any goalposts, I'm just pointing out that per capita emissions is a fairly useless metric to judge anything by, for reasons we seem to agree on.

Ideally, I'd want the free market to manage the standards via private certification, rather than some monolithic, global, unenforceable treaty that is little more than virtue signaling via giving developing countries lots of free money for no (or negligible) return.

From https://faster-cpython.readthedocs.io/pypy.html (emphasis mine):

> - Bad support of the Python C API: PyPy was written from scratch and uses different memory structures for objects. The cpyext module emulates the Python C API but it’s slow.

> - New features are first developed in CPython. In january 2016, PyPy only supports Python 2.7 and 3.2, whereas CPython is at the version 3.5. It’s hard to have a single code base for Python 2.7 and 3.2, Python 3.3 reintroduced u'...' syntax for example.

> - Not all modules are compatible with PyPy: see PyPy Compatibility Wiki. For example, numpy is not compatible with PyPy, but there is a project under development: pypy/numy. PyGTK, PyQt, PySide and wxPython libraries are not compatible with PyPy; these libraries heavily depend on the Python C API. GUI applications (ex: gajim, meld) using these libraries don’t work on PyPy :-( Hopefully, a lot of popular modules are compatible with PyPy (ex: Django, Twisted).

> - PyPy is slower than CPython on some use cases. Django: “PyPy runs the templating engine faster than CPython, but so far DB access is slower for some drivers.”
Do you mean that you saw actual differences when using Javascript in a normal website? Or that they were slower than the alternatives in a synthetic benchmark? It would be really surprising that those were the performance bottlenecks.
I don't see how Nest Labs would be considered to be part of Google the company, or in Google's value chain. They're just part of the parent company, Alphabet.
There is an active debate with people lobbying Congress to remove the second mortgage deduction.

Current value makes sense but California introduced Prop-13 and rent control around the same time to basically allow senior citizens to stay in their homes/rentals. Problems with prop-13 include the fact that commercial buildings are not excluded.

California also has Prop-58 and another one where the parent or grandparent can transfer the house to a child/grandchild without an FMV appraisal as well.

I believe it works like this.. Say a $50k house is paid off by the parent, then the gift tax on that can be paid by a home equity loan on it's current $1m valuation. I'm not sure if the gift tax though is calculated on the $50k or the $1m. Or if it is calculated at all. It may depend on if the parent/grandparent is still alive. You may be able to specify the value as the last real property value or the FMV (to cut future capital gains). Either way you just pay the taxes on it. But I think you can exclude a certain amount up to $500k if married.

But you could rent it out as well and use it as collateral on another mortgage.

It could also be that these houses will continue to be passed down the generations.

Southern California is not just LA. There are many amazing places to call home which are less crowded/expensive.
Rent and debt are far too often taxation without representation. It's that simple. This is especially true in situations where landlords sit back and collect, without taking due responsibility for the shape of the living spaces they supposedly "own". And people put themselves into these feudal arrangements for so many reasons. That part is not simple.

Why do people want to be landlords over others? Why do you want to live in a world where it is normal to take huge debts, only to hand off the monthly payments to people who are barely treading water?

This whole business of playing musical chairs with our homes and communities is beyond ridiculous. The amount of furniture that gets thrown out every month is shameful in the face of global climate change.

I'm saying they're wrong to dismiss one medium just because... well, it's that medium (which is basically all they are doing).

There is nothing intrinsically wrong about an adaptation of a book: they are just fundamentally different due to the medium.

It's the dismissiveness that's wrong, specifically, not the observation of differences.

I am amazingly uninterested in arguments for why it's important to support racism and sexism

I am amazingly uninterested in "aguments" where you put words in other people's mouths. Where do I support racism and sexism? Please provide a quote. (Big fail for you here!) As it so happens, I'm a liberal non-heterosexual brown person. Violence is wrong, no less so if it's done against vile, violent people. Coercion is wrong, even if it's done against people I dislike. The suppression of free speech is wrong, no matter who is talking.

in attempts to equate freedom of association as equivalent to violence

It's certainly not equivalent to violence. However, it's still fake and crappy if you're just interested in getting your way, and have reduced certain other human beings in your mind to some status where their consensuality doesn't matter. That's the whole reason why democracy is the best form of government we have so far: it respects consensuality the best out of every other system we've tried.

"your particular ideas of what's right and wrong". Enjoy beating up that strawman as long as you like, but it has little to do with any actual position I'm advocating.

So your ideas of "social justice" are better than everyone else's? You claim to have some sort of line to "the truth?" A close friend of mine received some sort of award and several hundred dollars for her work in social justice, and she agrees with much of what I have said.

You said yourself in this very discussion that you want "your side" to infiltrate all of the organizations and force the certain people you think are "bad" because they disagree with you. You want society to run in this way, and even if it just succeeds in creating pockets of people who think like you, that's great. Well, that's exactly what you said, and my position is precisely this: Thinking this way is crappy and it's emotionally dishonest. It creates an oppressive fake "consensus," and it convinces absolutely no one. The kind of society it would create would be just as truly about "justice" as the Christian religion dominated society of the 19th century was truly about "Christian values" -- only on the surface! This is my position, and exactly this. The only "straw-manning" that's been done has been yours. You are the one philosophically advocating coercion. Honestly, does the thought of coercing all of those horrible people to leave groups not strike you as righteous vengeance? Are you honestly free of hate of people in your heart?

I agree with many of your political aims, but be honest with yourself: Your position is weak someplace, and thus you have turned away from convincing and towards coercion.

"Colorblind" beliefs cover up racism and hurt the people who experience it by refusing to acknowledge what is actually happening to them: https://www.jstor.org/stable/41675099?seq=1#page_scan_tab_co... If people can't entertain the well-supported fact that individual's experiences differ on the basis of how they are perceived, they end up supporting the discriminatory status quo.

I read that Harvard's endowment is not taxed because Harvard is a non-profit organization. No private non-profit university's endowment is. People are acting like the government treats universities like farmers. But unless someone can actually show that Harvard is getting special treatment that no other non-profit university is, I'm not buying it.

Yes, they get research grants. So do a lot of institutions. Who else is going to do research? Maybe Harvard gets more than most. So what?
I don't think DANE is really in use; although there's some hints it may be usable with SMTP (postfix has support).

I'm not sure DANE is realistically usable anyway -- unless it was for a protocol which specified DANE only, you'd need to have a CA signed cert for interoperability with clients that didn't support it; in which case, you may as well just use that. I guess it makes sense for SMTP -- generally certificates are not validated when delivering mail, under the theory that encryption with an invalid cert is better than plaintext, and there's not a usable UI to let the sender pick what to do. In that case, DANE can work, but I kind of doubt there's much adoption still.
