I am willing to wager that more action will be seen with regards to LGBTQ channels being demonetized than conservative channels. Google never really tried to hide their left leaning biases.
Fair enough, every time I've used Arch I've gotten burned by an update 2-3 months in, ranging from annoyances to an unusable system. I like to think I'm pretty good with Linux having used it on the desktop and sysadmining for a long time, but I put Arch in the same category as Gentoo, cool but too finicky and fragile.

I think a big part of this is momentum. When the majority of people were excited about cars and saw them as newer and better than bicycles, you would get treated like shit. See most US cities. When the majority of people begins to understand that cars weren't the panacea they were expecting, then you might get more respectful behavior like that in the Netherlands. Here in the Dominican Republic being a pedestrian is "for the poor." Cars rush towards you—and you either get out of the way or join the roadkill. So what happens if you turn off the traffic lights? Depends whether people cared about them and safety to begin with.
But at the same time they're trying to avoid responsiblity by pointing to an algorithm. I mean they put a rainbow flag on their site and then also pull monetization from videos! I guess it's their legal right but they can't duck accountability.

I agree and disagree. I think API first and some form of a SPA is insanely powerful and probably the way to go for most larger scale projects. For everything else there is a lot of things that can be solved from a simple templating system. Sure its not as sexy but for a lot of the business cases you really don't need a sexy interface.

My favorite example is the bloatware that is Asana. I would be 10x happier if it was a using simple components written in JS but not the whole app hiding inside of a bloated SPA.

> micromanagement that comes with agile

It's a sad day when the ideas behind the agile movement have fully become the Agile System (tm) in engineer consciousness. The word used to denote a style of working, not characterised by micromanagement or by a Scrum Master (tm, again) telling people what to do, but ironically by leaving behind dogma for a loose collection of principles that worked effectively for the team and the problem at hand. The word has been lost, though. Using the word 'agile' now evokes more derision than enthusiasm or excitement.

I believe YouTube's algorithm takes into account comments in shuch a way that some motivated group of activists could demonetize the videos of a channel by posting hate-speech.

Monogame is not so much a game engine as it is an I/O framework. It's got primitives to get input, to draw on screen and output sound and really barely more than that.It's much more fair to compare it to SDL than to a full-fledged engine like Unity. It has some of the elements you need to build an engine, like asset management and stuff, but it's really bare-bones and expects you to design all the higher level logic yourself.

And honestly, that's fine. It's 2D only (afaik) and designing your own main loop is a piece of cake anyway.

The only real problem I have with Monogame is that it's cross-platform only really in theory. In order to build your games for multiple platforms you need to use different forks of the codebase, or at least that's how it was when I tried it.
With USD you may as well just put it in the bank - if the banking system fails your paper money probably won't be worth anything anyway. Bitcoin on the other hand could easily outlive any of the companies that will hold it for you.

I think he is asking for the citations and not requiring them - if I'm reading his post correctly.

https://www.gnu.org/software/parallel/

If you look there, he says, "... please cite as per ..." So, it isn't required as a part of the license or condition of use. It's just begging.

I suspect that's how it's not in violation of the GNU terms and GPLv3, but I'm not an expert.

And you should cite what version of Perl you used, for example. You should also ensure the source for Perl is available for future researchers. That's why open source is so valuable in academia.

Obviously there is a reasonable limit. If it potentially had an impact, cite it. The key word is reasonable.

I don't know enough about parallel to comment about the viability of it impacting the output. I still find it alarming that they feel compelled to beg for citations.

Also, yeah, when I cited software, it went into the acknowledgments section. This being a different era, I included my email address (the Internet was not world wide back then, so to speak) so that people could contact me and I could mail them a copy of software that I wrote, both compiled and the source.

I'd cite any software that was reasonable to consider as relevant. If possible, I'd cite a scientific article, where possible. A couple of times, the software want necessarily all that important for the science, but I'd found it so useful that I'd cite it - though that was more to draw attention to it.

I do now wonder if it is a generational thing. Namely, when I was still in academia, there wasn't as much software as there is now. The use of computers was still fairly new. Citing our software tools was a bit more unique and citing COTS software was probably even more rare.

That may have something to do with it. While I still read a lot of papers, I'm completely removed from academia. I suspect I missed something along the way. It has been nearly 30 years - that's eons in the world of computers.

YouTube has been demonetizing everything across the board, from gaming videos to non-political sketch comedies, and without much explanation.

This is all part of the "Adpocalypse" that YouTube content creators have been complaining about this past year.

Content creators are left guessing why many of their videos are being demonetized. Even fairly bland material gets demonetized by "the algorithm". Some speculate just having a somewhat risqué hashtag or image in the poster image is enough to get demonetized.

I don't get it: The taxi business is older than cars! Before cars we had essentially taxis pulled by horses. In parts of Asia, there were taxis pulled by people, on foot or bicycle.

The times I used a taxi, I just called a phone number.

Now with smartphones, people can call such a phone number while walking down a street. Answering the phone can be a person and/or computer.

For the branding, etc., if you are right about the difficulty of having a computer answer the call from a smartphone, then have some company write a generic app that all taxis in the world can use.

The difficulty of getting an app installed? Depends on the app!

I'm still having a super tough time seeing any money in a central taxi business, computers or not, smartphones or not, etc. E.g., people have done serious, well funded, polished research on just how to do dial-a-ride for 40+ years.

> Did could it be that this hope has failed us ? and if so, Why ? What can be done to enable more niche businesses ? or is it the wrong answer ?

Small businesses can't compete with global mega-corps who exploit cheap labor and lobby(bribe) the government in their favor. Young people can't afford to start their own businesses when the smartest among them have massive amounts of student loans, rising housing costs, and are under the threat of bankruptcy if they get sick. If we want to stimulate small business growth while also increasing economic development in rural areas, we need to do something about globalization. People need to feel economically secure to have the leverage to start a business, which necessitates a rising quality of life for all the classes, not just the upper class.
Maybe for most countries, but not America. The MPAA movie rating system here is a nightmare. The rating standards are private, and if they rate you NC17 or X or what have you, they'll refuse to give any reasons as to why, because that would imply they engage in censorship. The rating system is not government-run either, so it's partially controlled by clergy members, and treats gay films more harshly. "This Film Is Not Yet Rated" is a good documentary that covers the MPAA rating system.

there are shops in my city that do exactly that, but the markup is more like 105%.

>What are the benefits of paper wallets over a hardware wallet or storing it online?

you can use a multisig scheme where you have multiple private keys, but you only need a fraction of it to access your bitcoins.
>Also, is it me or are people more paranoid with their Bitcoins than others with their USDs?

The basic deal of bitcoin is that it's harder for people to tell you what you can and can't do with it, but it's also harder for them to help you if you shoot yourself in the foot with that freedom.

A lot of the peanut gallery is scared away by notions like "if you lose your key, there's no one you can yell at down a phone or sue to get your money back, so you'll just have to be an adult and plan carefully". What remains is people who are a bit more systematic and thorough with respect to their finances.

iirc the rating standards are not actually private, but rather there are no ratings standards. It's just a few people (mostly friends) sitting in a room saying what they feel like it should be. There are some rough guidelines, but it's not particularly consistent.

This isn't really a political issue despite the linked articles stance or your response. What both say is true, but politics isn't the motivation. It's general gentrification and pushing away the potentially controversial in order to bring in more ad money.

I personally noticed it first when all the machining channels that discussed homemade firearms were demonitized.

Anecdata, a lot of the popular conservative user-generated content on YouTube I've come across tends to trend negatively towards "black people are causing all this crime and police drama", "I don't hate LGBT people, I just think their sexual preferences should be criminal again", etc.

I don't think YouTube is purposefully demonitizing videos on conservative fiscal theories.
What frustrates me with the adpocalypse is that YouTube and advertisers are treating it like the television industry when it's not. Real life isn't a perfect, cuss-free, conflict-free utopia like television shows are, and content created by normal people shouldn't expected to be that way.

Instead of demonetizing everything, I think YouTube should emphasize to its advertisers that while both television and YouTube are media companies, that doesn't mean they have the same market share, and thus shouldn't be advertised on in the same way that television does. At the same time, I think YouTube should make it known that advertisement on a video shouldn't equate to endorsement by that advertiser.
What makes something a startup though is if it's arbitraging some temporary economic disequilibrium. How big the business ultimately becomes is unrelated to whether or not it would qualify as a startup.
I thought it was just as simple as the fact that the big companies don't want to advertise their products on "controversial" videos... which are defined very loosely based on key words. For example if you make something like a rape surviver support video and include 'rape' in the description.

I can see why advertisers would not want to risk hurting their brand by playing before a video that is anyway offensive to anyone. If you give that power to them then they will use it. Which can be a problem if you are trying to have an open free speech platform where ideas are shared. I think that is not Google's motivation though. They want to make money. Which again is understandable but not necessarily what the world needs.
Realistically, this is the natural consequence of our current political climate. When you offend [group X] and they go after your advertisers, it's effective.

Advertisers naturally say "I don't want to be associated with anything/anyone controversial, so let's exclude those!"

The problem is that most things are "controversial" to some group.. therefore, large swaths of content are no longer "advertiser appropriate" and all creators suffer.
