My bet about how they are choosing the 1000 subs and 4000 hours watchtime criteria: it is about to get this number as tractable as possible, considering they will now manually review your channel prior to monetization. Even with their smart machine learning algorithm, they cannot scale beyond this number.

It is a little insincere to use the 99% of the channels number here. Vast majority of the channels from Youtube makes barely better than nothing because the long tail effect. What is actually interesting is, how many of the channels that previously make around a sizable chunk of money from Youtube, like say 1000 dollars, now will not qualify. I bet it won't be as harmless as Youtube want people to believe here, but they probably believe it is inevitable casualty.

You seem to suggest that my comment was (trite, flippant) depression advice. I'm not entirely sure how you can read my comment as depression advice given that nothing in the thread had anything to do with depression.

It's like

A: Wow I respect people who can lift heavy stuff

B: Oh come on it's just a matter of workout

C: Holy shit I've had my share of trite flippant workout advice but I have myasthenia so workout won't cut it, come on.

(I react a bit strongly because I'd never give depression advice. I have no fucking clue about depression except that well-meant tips from people like me don't help, at best. I stay out of the way and leave depression to trained shrinks and people with experience)
> qmail, unfortunately, never did become too popular

At one point, it was the second most popular MTA on the Internet. What pray tell would "too popular" look like?

> I remember it being a big PITA to get all the services to play well together.

When you were thinking about qmail correctly, it was an absolute pleasure to get everything to work together. Promise. Yet whilst the documentation was correct, it probably wasn't very good from the perspective of helping people think about it correctly. André Oppermann[1] (and perhaps Dave Sill[2]) did a much better job of this, so when they came available I would usually have pointed people there and see what kinds of questions they still had.

It seems like the converse is true, though, states don't get to define qualifications - U.S. Term Limits, Inc. v. Thornton, 514 U.S. 779 (1995)

"Second, even if the States possessed some original power in this area, it must be concluded that the Framers intended the Constitution to be the exclusive source of qualifications for Members of Congress, and that the Framers thereby "divested" States of any power to add qualifications."

Your motivation for uploading that one video was money? Just wondering, because if that was the case I'd expect you to have more than one video.

I think not a new ambassador when there are only 3 months left in your term as President and all of your appointees are being stonewalled in Congress is fairly reasonable. Not appointing an ambassador at all in your first year of office is less reasonable.

I read an article many many years ago explaining why software engineering can't be compared to mechanical engineering.

I can't find it now, but one of its points of comparison was: if a nut isn't tightened enough on a bridge, you can tighten it a bit more -- turn the nut 3 or maybe 6 millimeters more. In software engineering, if you tighten the nut only 3 millimeters instead of 6, one of the bridge's endpoints now ends in a different dimension.

I think there is a valid point to it. I'm always amazed in housing construction how things are done "approximately". A wall should be vertically straight... give or take a few centimeters. That kind of approximation doesn't work in software engineering. It has a whole other type of complexity to it.

One of my siblings, the best educated in our family, had what we'd generally call a good career from university until kids arrived. She then went through a couple of jobs at the schools and once our parents started getting old she moved to kitchen staff & waiting jobs.

Talking it through with her one day, it made great sense. At the end of her shift, once she'd tidied up and set up for the next shift, she would just walk of of the door and there would be no thoughts of work again until she clocked in the next time.

When I was programming my mind was always working, even on holidays ideas would pop up and I'd follow them. I am now in a family business which is with us 24 hours a day. There are times I'm envious of her ability to completely switch off.

DNSSEC already gives us validation of the records, and thanks to SNI, this doesn't give us any privacy.

It is more complex, more centralized, and ends up slower than using actual DNS, and doesn't seem to provide any benefits.

Am I missing something?

The form feeds the api inputs directly.

Yes, but reverse DNS is not totally trivial (think AWS). Also current DNS can easily be MitM'd allowing attackers to insert JavaScript into web pages etc.
Plenty of bad decisions from Mozilla were the results of conflicts of interest - between their desire to be useful to users in the immediate term and their desire to push for a better web in the long term, or between individual employees' views and the organisation's interests, or even between their users' interests and the organisation's desire for money (the default search provider) - being a nonprofit doesn't mean you don't want money, it just means you spend everything you get, managers who want to empire-build still want to increase their revenue even in a non-profit.

Mozilla is exempt from one very specific set of interests that other web organisations have. They still have a vast number of competing interests to consider in their decisionmaking. Indeed Google's controlling shareholders, being mostly billionaires, may well exert less pressure in practice than Mozilla's donors.

Easier to prevent censoring. DNSSEC doesn't hide the fact that you're making a DNS call, correct? With HTTPS, censors/MITMs can only see the domain you go to. The censor/MITM won't know whether I went to google.com to search or perform DNS query. Plenty of countries have blocked DNS providers they don't like, now that's harder w/out also blocking the site as a whole.

In Buddhist thought, one of the afflictions (Kleshas) is that of Attachment to a desire (Raga). It is seen as just as debilitating as other Kleshas (Ignorance, Ego, Aversion and Clinging).

For Raga, it prescribes the following mind exercise:

-Observe your mind – what is it drawn to?

-Recognize the desire you feel (This being the core of the affliction called Raga)

-Give this feeling a name and a space inside you

Now observe what happens if you don’t automatically follow through with it. Experience what it’s like to create some space between feeling a want/need and acting on it.

I see, thanks for confirming this. I was initially skeptic about lambda when it was first released, thinking "so after heroku which makes us pay per process, now we must pay per function call?", but I know better than trusting my doubts about a new tech, I've seen too many people focusing on the parts from a new tech resembling an old one, totally missing what is new.

Would you agree with this statement? => what sets lambda apart is that it boots so fast that it's legit to start one only to call one function, which in turns, thanks to aws infrastructure, allows to massively parallelize short lived tasks.

In contrast, almost nobody runs "exim plus some home-grown patches" or "postfix plus some home-grown patches".

Having the correct architecture, and being able to rewrite the subsystems piecemeal means it is possible for users to experiment with new features organically[1]. That's part of why some qmail installations have features not available in any other mail server even today.

Or to put another way, software purity and homogeny isn't a "good thing", but a trade off: You get to share risk with everyone else who chose like you did, but you're also stuck with the same features and risk everyone else has.

I'd choose "feature-poor download, but highest-feature in production" over "a-few-more-features download and limited-ability-to-upgrade" any day.

Can anyone give examples of cases where “performant” would be better than “efficient”?

To my mind, the difference is that “performant” delivers results quickly, whereas “efficient” uses little energy. A performant solution might be efficient, but not necessarily, and vice versa. Does anyone else share this understanding or am I living in a linguistic bubble?

Not sure about Swedish (Daniel is Swedish), but in Finnish, we have the word “suorituskykyinen”, meaning “efficient” or “able to perform”. I can see how Finnish writers might want to use “performant” to replace this commonly used word. Perhaps there's a similar history for Swedish speakers? I sure have seen “performant” a lot in academic texts written by Finnish and Swedish speakers in the last 20 years.
What makes you believe this is a rational decision? Even if you reduce everything to "must make money"?

This hasn't anything to do with capitalism. It is pure greed. Companies willingly do anything for a slight increase in revenue even if they willingly acknowledge that it will cost them ten times as much in the (not so) long term.

There is nothing about capitalism that says you must be a colossal idiot, that's just a consequence of a poisonous culture where employees don't give a crap about the company but only focus on their own career.

I can see how DNS over HTTPS addresses security, but I do not see how it helps with privacy. After resolving the IP address over secure connection HTTPS still sends the host name unencrypted, so one can just eavesdrop on that.

From the article (1996):

And it’s the dominant image of the software development world: Gen-Xers sporting T-shirts and distracted looks, squeezing too much heroic code writing into too little time; rollerblades and mountain bikes tucked in corners; pizza boxes and Starbucks cups discarded in conference rooms; dueling tunes from Smashing Pumpkins, Alanis Morrisette and the Fugees. Its the world made famous, romantic, even inevitable by stories out of Sun Microsystems, Microsoft, and Netscape.

It's incredible how much software development has changed over the last 21 years. Change Gen-Xers to Millennials, update the playlist, and replace Sun Microsystems, Microsoft, and Netscape with Apple, Facebook and Google.
