Those tweets claim that demonetized videos don't reach anyone on the homepage. Do they reach anyone on the Subscriptions page?

For me, the Subscriptions page pretty much replaced the homepage, and it would be bad for me as a consumer if the channels I subscribe to don't end up on that page once they upload new content.

Also, I'm mildly annoyed by the lack of consistency with spelling of the word "YouTube" in this analysis. It's neither "Youtube" nor "youtube" (both of those spelling are used multiple times), it's YouTube.

> As for my Linux hate, if Linux were so great and well made, I wouldn’t hate it.

With Linux running on ~10^11 devices, everything from watches to supercomputers to the Falcon 9 rocket, the market disagrees with you to a pretty comical extent.

Well, if that failure to rank highly is due to Google manually removing you, I think it's fairly clear whose fault it is.

(It's Google's.)
That's a sort of libertarian fever dream, yes.

It fails to account for lots of things, among them:

- The idea of unspecified "regulations" inflicting grave damage on the economy for no useful purpose is simply wrong. Yes, there may be regulations some people consider too broad, or intrusive. But it's a question of degree, and I assure you, you wouldn't want to life in a place without any of them. The best case scenario is that instead of a law that forbids the use of lead as colouring agents for potato chips, you'll get a less-effective, more expensive private certification scheme with the same rule.

- Corporations only pay taxes on profits. As such, these taxes have no effect on the corporation's investments, research, or other spending.

- Governments tend to be more effective in spending than private companies. Medicare % medicaid, for example, have something like 1% or 2% of administrative overhead, compared to roughly 20% of overhead and profits for private insurance. As further evidence of the stinginess of governments, compare the average desktop PC in government offices to those at your favourite company.

- Such a country could reduce spending almost exclusively by picking and choosing the people to admit, leaving other countries to care for poor, old, or sick people.

All dev and testing is dont against the live database. YOu just have to be very, very, very careful.

It's something we are trying to implement now, honestly. It's on the TODO list.

The problem I'm having is where do you start? How do you simulate the data flowing through live in the test / dev enviornment.

Assuming that the vendors act as they do out of fear biases causal analysis away from simple business cases. One of those cases is that vendors may have developed their firmware with software that limits the ways the firmware can be distributed. Another case is that vendors may have incorporated software licensed from other companies and that license agreement prevents release of the source code...or more simply the third party software may have been distributed as a binary. Finally, the source code may have been developed with custom or proprietary tooling, build systems, etc. that are not generally available and so releasing the source code doesn't mean that people can use it or understand it.

Theoretically, it is possible to untangle a big ball of string. Theoretically, it is not possible to untangle a big ball of mud.
Literally everything you said could go both ways:

The reason glyphosate isn't banned is simply that the decision to use is it is one people take individually, and banning it would intrude on people's lives and culture - for argument sake I assume farmers also count as people.

As for glyphosate, it is really hard to ban, and has been shown to have benefits the counterweight the cancer risk.
Caveat: I'm jumping out of my depth and just throwing my non-neural-researcher understanding out there.

At the individual neuron level, everything is asynchronous, right?

The firing/pulsing behaviors happen at a network level and this implementation should still see harmonic effects. In fact, you might even see richer harmonic effects because the neurons are asynchronous and not all clocked together.

So while you're probably right that firing/pulsing/synchronicity behaviors are a vital aspect of the brain, at the network level the best way for us to see more brain-like harmonics will be to have asynchronous neurons.

Just to be clear, you're unironically proposing to meet to participate in commercial exchange with someone you can trust not to kill or rob you on account of publicly-funded security, get to the airport on publicly-funded roads or trains, burn energy financed or outright subsidized by public infrastructure, fly out of an airport paid for with public funds and transit safely across the Atlantic using air traffic control and radar services provided by your fellow citizens to get to Europe to enjoy a vacation many Americans can't afford. All to avoid paying taxes on speculative gains.

Haha, I meant the actual coding part. I'm sure the problem solving would take me longer, it's just that once I have a solution in mind I can code it in 10 minutes in Python, since I'm very familiar with it and use it almost on a daily basis.

Having to think about basic things such as how to instantiate hash maps, what is the syntax for control flow, does this language have this particular functionality. This can take hours spent in reading documentation and debugging.

From what I've seen from last year, the problems arent't that hard (they're meant to be solved within a day), so the real time consuming part is the coding.

One of the most significant changes in PHP 7.2 is actually the list of features that it deprecates. Among other things, this includes:

- Unquoted strings

- The __autoload() method

- The track_errors ini setting and $php_errormsg variable

- create_function()

- each()

- The $errcontext argument

Numerous internal optimizations and language improvements will become possible in PHP 8 when these features are removed.

I don't want to buy new crap to deal with the crap you left behind. I'd argue that you ought to pay me for dealing with some arbitrary hardware that I've now inherited. This is the equivalent of leaving some finicky boiler system whose spare parts can only be ordered from a single factory in Germany.

In context they are also more or less offering to remove it for free. I expect that includes putting conventional fixtures in (depending on the terms of the sale, but why bother trying to insist that the house doesn't come with light switches).
It seems almost all the time node.js runs hello world is spent loading its own modules. You should try something like this:

// watch.js
var file = process.argv[2]
console.log('press enter to run '+file)
process.stdin.on('data', function(){
var [s1,ns1] = process.hrtime()
for(var k in require.cache) {
delete require.cache[k]
}
require(file)
var [s2,ns2] = process.hrtime()
var s = (s2-s1)+(ns2-ns1)*1e-9
console.log('time: ' + s.toFixed(9))
})

Result: less than 1ms on first run

$ node watch.js ./test.js
press enter to run ./test.js

hello world
time: 0.000952656

hello world
time: 0.000284171

edit: script now deletes all cache, not only the passed script (result is the same if the script doesn't require others)

Some countries have tax treaties. For those that don’t, you can deduct foreign tax paid from your US income taxes. In most cases, you won’t end up paying again in the US, if you already paid overseas, unless you have large amounts of income that are US-taxable and exempt in your country of residence.
Ask HN: Advice on finding, selecting, and hiring contracted dev team
Hi all,

My company has a small in-house software dev team that (imho) works well, produces quality code and moves quickly. We are currently considering to roughly double our work load for ~9 months in order to ship a large feature set quickly. This obviously requires a larger dev team. Due to the temporary nature of the ramp up, we’re considering if using contractors might be a viable option.

No-one on our team has worked with or worked as contractors. Therefore, we’re a little nervous if this plan is a good idea.

Does anyone have any advice on working with a contracted dev team? I.e:
- how to find such a team?
- how to evaluate a team before hiring them?
- best practices for working with a 1/2 in house 1/2 contracted team
- for deliverables, do you want to receive the entire dev commit history or just the final HEAD of the code?
- any caveats about our potential plan? Is it a bad idea? We’d rather it do the project if we can’t do it well.

Thanks in advance.
Because it is an emotional topic.

There are various, arguably valid, orthogonal aspects that motivated the technology behind distributed ledgers. And when those utopian dreams are subjected to the cold hard facts (of this world) it elicits a non-rational response. That is the positive view of this group-mind phenomena. The negative view would posit that voices that point out that "the emperor has no clothes" can derail what very much appears to be a pyramid scheme.
What you’ve done here is offer a detailed technical explanation and then thrown in something about deflating a debt bubble, without actually connecting them.

I’m all for the technology, but the technology itself doesn’t solve any systemic financial issues, not directly. It’s the adoption itself, and how it may be used for legit commerce, say 5-10 years down the road, that would potentially do so. And this would be facilitated by technology evolution from now until then. Bitcoin may be at the center of that evolution, but it’s not assured just yet.

People are buying or holding on speculation for various reasons but most with a common speculation: They believe that the price will continue to rise relative to their cost basis. That’s it. Some of these folks have a fundamental belief about bitcoin’s future as a currency, but that future isn’t enabled directly by the technical details that you’ve offered. Most newcomers don’t care about the revolution, they’re just trying to hop aboard a rocket ship.

You have a solid understanding of bitcoin’s technical details. Just pointing out that such details don’t directly solve any economic / debt related issues, for many reasons. One of its key limitations is that the technology of bitcoin cannot facilitate commerce at scale, not currently.

Price of bitcoin will go up or down directly as a result of decisions of buyers and sellers, nothing less or more. Greater fools applies to bitcoin just the same as other open markets.

Fixed assets, goods and services, etc., are stable relative to fiat, at least USD. So bitcon isn’t deflating any bubbles.

Indeed, the language does not care which means you should. Object file is not even a compilation unit at times.

You get to build the object file, shared objects, dlls what have you.
Then use the linker to link it to turn it into an executable.

Some modern languages specify the runtime very deep. For example Python or Java - so much that it is hard to separate language from runtime or standard library.

Upvotes for honest anecdata and asking for advice!

> How do you simulate the data flowing through live in the test / dev enviornment.

Most don't, rolling with the schema and 'minimum viable' data flow instead.

Make darn sure your backups work by testing restores regularly. Restoring a production backup elsewhere may be an option if it's possible to avoid sensitive data (scrubbing afterward introduces risk of missing something, and should be scripted/repeatable).

Exactly matching production data flow is not as important as avoiding accidentally hosing the prod db.
But there are people working on the pure science of learning how the brain works.

Taking bits and pieces of strategies, chemicals, or structures found in nature and adapting them to other technologies has a long history of success.

Let me tell you from my experience. One time I was editing code on the live server using SFTP, before I knew about version control. And the whole thing was deleted, with no way to get it back.

It doesn't take that long to put some safeguards.

Here is the thing: WHENEVER you say "you have to be VERY careful" or blame someone for making a mistake, that's a place you need to put more checks. The computer should check routine things, not people.

"The problem I'm having is where do you start? How do you simulate the data flowing through live in the test / dev enviornment."

I am guessing you use MySQL so simply set up MYSQL REPLICATION and test all your stuff on the replica database first. Actually you should periodically dump the replica and test on a snapshot, so you can mess up the snapshot.

Absolutely. But you're still going to see prices fall or bad price fluctuation behavior in the short term, because:

- A chilling effect/scared-lemming effect from the news will rattle some people, with or without reason.

- A reliable market is usually (not always) a less volatile market. A lot of crypto traders who were capitalizing on the volatility of these markets will now exit.
If I were working in a field that required an able body I might agree with you but I'm not performing manual labour, society would get just as much value from me overall if I had my retirement now and spent my 40s and 50s writing code instead.

It's already silly that I'm spending my 20s and 30s writing code.

Plus the code I write doesn't do anything for society's survival. We could just about switch the entire tech industry to maintenance mode, cut jobs by 90% and society would get along just fine, as long as we figure out a way to distribute necessities like food and housing without money.

The same can be said about an enormous chunk of the workforce. We're forced to work for survival but the jobs we perform aren't truly necessary, they're ultimately derived from an illogical and unsustainable obsession with growth.

Most of society doesn't _need_ to be working at all and society would get along just fine if it wanted. It just doesn't want to.

For some reason, reading anything about China's mass production always makes me a little depressed, but this one hit me pretty hard. I'm an artist myself, in my free time, and the greatest joy I find is to be able to create any image I want, in my own style. It's a reflection of my subconscious, my individual perspective and taste. Reproducing another artist's work by hand I consider to be a useful exercise, maybe, in some contexts, but I could never imagine doing it for a living. I think that would kill my soul a little, not only to paint the same thing for days, but to see the original work in such a light.

The first time I encountered Van Gogh was in elementary school, and it was his Sunflowers series. It's almost like a memory-push-pin of my childhood; Sunflowers marks a page. To paint Sunflowers over and over, I can't imagine.
