I think Youtube creators aren't drawing the connection between media criticism of YT and the collateral damage to their earnings. It's easy to get mad at Youtube execs making policies, but Youtube is just reacting to bad PR.

Youtube has faced a series of controversies that led to the 'AdPocalypse', and now the demonetization of people with not enough active subscribers. The media has gleefully gone after Youtube in these stories (the latest being inappropriate videos from Logan Paul and the proliferation of algorithmically-generated videos that show disturbing cartoon content to children.)

YT creators should start pushing back---by saying wait, the algorithms and ads help small creators putting out good content as well, not just nefarious actors---if they don't want the scope of monetized content to get narrower and narrower.

Otherwise it's easy for the public to align behind criticism of 'big tech' while overlooking that these are platforms which people depend on to express themselves and even to earn income.

Unless your tax situation is unusual, it's not that hard to change your withholding to minimize the float. And for most people the magnitude of that float is tiny. People get outraged by the point a lot more than is warranted by the data.

You also propose a very poor solution. A large % of Americans are not disciplined enough with their budgeting to save such a large % of their income to write a single check every year. A lot of folks simply wouldn't have the money when it came due. What would you do then?
Of all the possible complaints about YouTube demonetization, complaining that you don't meet the objective criteria for how popular your channel must be is surely the least important.
"the more he dictates to help his friends" is unfair I think. Isn't this a proposal by a Parity developer? Where does it say that Vitalik endorses this, or that he has either the will or the ability to dictate its adoption?
You might find some value in this video. You are asking an important question and lay people nearly always mis-explain it.

> Are there any Unicode experts here?

Have you considered sending Ken Lunde (@ken_lunde) a tweet? He's quite the expert in CJKV and he usually responds promptly to a tweet.

The example regarding wang4 seems like something that should be handled in terms of a Simplified/Traditional variant switch. On the other hand, the unusual characters in the Taiwanese Bible seem to be characters without meaning outside of Taiwanese (or more generally, Min), but that have specific semantic meaning in Taiwanese, and should be encoded in Unicode.
Edit: later on in the article, it was stated that that wasn't the reason. Sorry.
AirDev looks cool, but I don't see where you can build a landing page for free?
Nobody in the US is going to get behind banning me, an independent citizen, from making Bernie Sanders bumper-stickers or yard-signs. Nor me making TV ads about how great Bernie would be for our country.

Your proposal is at complete odds with the US Constitution with respect to an individual's right to free speech. Lobbying creates a paper trail of sorts and is therefore more transparent (How do you think opensecrets exists?).
yeah but most people would be too stupid to save enough throughout the year to pay their taxes in april

I wish the media and government would talk more about the needles and drug pipes everywhere on the sidewalks rather than these awesome scooters.
short sighted, but that's sometimes the right way to prioritize. sounds like kenning is in prototyping mode, and could be intentionally prioritizing time to first test, acknowledging that s/he might have to rebuild things later. in the early stages of a startup, speed to insight can easily be more important than long term coding efficiency. so short sighted thinking can make sense.
Exactly. It is the library used by hundreds of wallets. The library itself does not hold any balance.

That's the game. Give most people a tiny concession, give the rich millions and millions of concessions. That way you can truthfully say that the bill is actually benefiting people in an extremely short sighted way. The reduction in tax revenue will soon be used to call for the elimination of social programs. Bait and switch.
'Your Data' Doesn't Mean What You Think It Means
Typically it means you can invest in niche markets. These market would be out of reach for larger players as they would struggle to find liquidity for their portfolio size. On the other end, smaller players would not be able to adjust their positions sufficiently granularly due to minimum lot/clip sizes specified on the market - similar to a quantisation effect if you don't sample at a sufficiently high frequency.

And then they died, because that C code could run anywhere regardless of the hardware improvements they were offering to the world.

This is what I meant with having nothing that could prevent developers to go away from the platform, just the performance edge wasn't good enough against commodity hardware.
In case you were asking how it might be a problem, look at some of its effects on the status quo:

Forced obsolescence, pervasive spyware/security problems, being locked into an "app" ecosystem, user-hostile antifeatures, lack of modifiability to deal with hardware degradation over time, etc.

The concept of "choice" as most people use it when describing consciousness tends to be synonymous with so-called "free will," and it is a metaphysical concept rather than a descriptive one. It implies the existence of some kind of non-physical "choosing" mechanism that is unbound by the law of physics.

I have no problem with the concept of choice as you have expressed it, as shorthand for an immensely complex set of processes. This is similar what I was referring to when I mentioned "moods" and "states." I do realize that brain processes can't be accurately represented by fuzzy concepts such as these, but they are occasionally useful for discussion.

> The brain is electrochemical activity. There is no factorization of this system into brain states and chemicals that act of them, nor any other such factorization such as binning hormones into such states and describing neuron depolarization as acting on these states.

At a macro level, a higher than normal quantity of cannabinoids will cause the brain to act differently, with certain predictable characteristics. You could even give it a name as shorthand: "stoned." At a micro level, you could describe the effects of the chemicals on receptors. In between, you can talk about the effects on various brain structures and how that affects behavior. That's what I'm getting at.
Cool idea - Web Extensions API are very powerful.

Anecdata: this year I used TaxAct and then TurboTax, because I wasn't entirely confident in the results from TaxAct.

After fixing a data entry mistake or two, I was able to make them come out same. However, I was much happier with TurboTax's handling of employee stock options, because it walks you through how to correct the incorrect cost basis that brokerages are required to report by law. (This changed a few years ago.)

At that point I could have submitted either one, but ended up paying for TurboTax since I felt like rewarding them for better UI.

(While fixing an error, I did run into a recalculation bug in TurboTax, though; it's not clear how to report it.)

No it's really not, over 90% of Americans will claim the standard deduction this year: https://www.forbes.com/sites/ryanellis/2017/11/22/nine-in-te...

My deductions were usually only around ~$17,000 with pretty decent charitable contributions, I don't even have to think about if I'm going to itemized this year. I suspect I'm a pretty "average" itemizer.
I don't think it's bandwidth costs that are the big problem here. People want a competitor that offers what YouTube offers: a way to get paid for uploading videos.

I think this service is fundamentally very hard to produce. For all its faults with monetization, it's not clear it can be done better (beyond toy scale). It's clearly not profitable to have humans match videos with advertisers, and computers are inevitably going to screw up, like in this instance. edit: it seems this case is just a basic policy issue, though that policy is a consequence of trying to avoid attempting to solve this problem for the long tail of small time uploaders. I just assumed it was another false positive based on the title.

Keeping advertisers and uploaders happy seems like an almost impossible task. Google may not be doing very well at it, but that doesn't mean it's easy to do better.

Starbucks CEO Apologizes After Arrests of Two Black Men in Philadelphia
It’s a bit simplistic to call it stupidity. Long-term planning like this is a skill that’s not strongly supported by default human psychology. We use all kinds of tricks and techniques to overcome this, and withholding is one. Similar issues arise with, say, planning for retirement or taking into account the effects of climate change, or exercise and diet. If it were something that came to us naturally, we wouldn’t even be having this discussion.

Work by people like Thaler and Sunstein is encouraging because it helps us improve our skills in a systematic manner so it can better scale.
I really have a hard time taking both the police and the journalists serious. The first for mis-directing all these resources while I believe must they have much more serious crimes not getting any attention, and the latter for not being critical of this in the least bit.

Victimless crime does not exist in my book. Having it in the law books says a lot about the those who wrote it.
I hear what you are saying and agree with a lot of it.

But you said that tax complexity was foisted on people in order to make them be more in favor of lower taxes for the rich. I was merely pointing out that this wasn't really the case in the most recent tax bill as complexity for many typical filers was generally reduced.
Can you explain more about that? I use Firefox on Android 8.1 and haven't noticed any issues with scrolling.
Think about the implications of that statement. We're headed towards (actually already in) a world in which the very few are fabulously wealthy and the rest suffer needlessly.

You can't raise taxes, the rich leave. You lower taxes, the rich suck money out of the local population until they get a better deal. All states are in competition to lower taxes. A much more comprehensive solution is necessary.
An important difference being that in your Ford example, you can just throw new people at the problem while in software it generally needs to be handled in the responsible team.
But, oddly, that copyright issue is not why they demonetized the videos.
It is possible, but I can run Opera with hundreds of tabs for days on end with no problem.

With performance degradation over time, it is hard to determine if it is hardware slowly fading, or software bloat running its natural course.

I should run a mem tester though.

Fwiw I can load the same page up in Opera or Chrome and it will smoothly play, while FF trips over itself in the background.
Agreed, nothing to see here. He uploaded infringing property, tried to make profit, Youtube disabled his profit (for a different reason), he complains to ArsTechnica.

I mean, if it'd make him happier, Youtube can disable his channel completely for infringement.
Yes, and there is a certain class of people that likes to demonstrate their mental superiority by making fun of those people. The people who do this are assholes.

Society doesn't really "need" blockchain technologies...

That is, until the government screws up the economy and something like hyperinflation occurs.

Or some system gets hacked, and information or money gets leaked/lost.

The appeal in Bitcoin/crypto isn't capacity or speed, its security (from the state, from bad actors, etc.) That has a very high-value proposition and is worth investing in. In time, I think scaling solutions will make crypto much more practical.
Ah, credentialism on HN. Shocker! Is it that I'm missing "in the US," or do you have other criticism more specific?
I think the key is to take the advertisers out of the loop, removing them removes almost all of the issues that YT has experienced. I have some ideas how to do that, it’s the costs of storage and bandwidth that I can’t figure out right now.

Ok... but again, what does that have to do with frontend vs backend which is what this thread is about?

The concepts define the complexity, and my point is that they are nothing new so why would frontend be harder when it's only catching up to backend environments? No amount of buzzwords changes that.
This post is about a problem with unpopular videos. I don't think the bandwidth costs are that high.
What you propose is perfectly compatible with people merely blindly clicking 'Accept" instead of actually reviewing it, which is the problem of the parent poster.

This is a very interesting interpretation of Searle's argument (which also has some overlap I believe with some of Douglas Hofstadter's ideas), and I will begin to read Blindsight shortly, as it seems a very intriguing novel.
What's a fair threshold? How could a fair threshold be determined and later justified when people push back against it?

What is the process for adjusting the threshold if the value of the currency swings wildly? A theft of a single Bitcoin is now a theft of thousands of dollars, but years ago it would have been a handful of dollars.

It's easier to say that thefts of any amount should be restored than to deal with all of the politics of picking a threshold. Isn't the Ethereum system designed to avoid politics and the need to trust other people?

Oh, Tizen, I guess you are not up to date with it.

After throwing away the C++ libraries and going to that C code you mention, they have decided to offer .NET Core + Xamarin as alternative to those C++ libraries.

Which I agree is much better than Bada C++ style libraries, but reveals they aren't sure where to go next.

Then at FOSDEM they introduced an IoT OS based on NuttX + JerryScript, and called it Tizen RT, even though it isn't anything Tizen related.

The rather interesting features about this particular "embedding" is that it results in a written language that is intelligible for both Mandarin and Cantonese speakers and that it also happens quite frequently in certain settings. In fact, it even comes off as "correct." That is it's not as if you're reading broken Mandarin or broken Cantonese and are able to piece together the meaning, as a speaker of a parent language of a pidgin language might feel when reading the pidgin. It's a full-fledged language that reads entirely naturally to a Mandarin speaker and just feels "Mandarinized" but otherwise "correct" to a Cantonese speaker.

The Spanish-English example you give really only is a result of Spanish's regular correspondence between spelling and pronunciation (as far as my limited Spanish knowledge allows me to understand), that allows you to unambiguously pronounce most combinations of Latin letters. For example, there's a "Spanish pronunciation" of the Quecha written Latin script, but it's basically an unintelligible mess of sounds that violates a lot of Spanish sound rules. If you use some conventions to group letters together and settle on a single pronunciation of each of those groupings, you can do the same in English with any Latin letter combinations as well.

Generally speaking, pronouncing written English as Spanish results in something that neither Spanish speakers nor English speakers understand nor accept as part of their language. While there is a subset of vocabulary (most notably -ion words) that shares the same or similar spelling between the two languages, there isn't really a cohesive subset of the written language (that is imagine writing entire sentences and paragraphs) that can be shared.
The article itself states that they weren’t able to get usable fingerprints from the photo, and instead the offender was arrested from other evidence.

> However, there were just parts of the middle and bottom of a finger visible - records only keep the top part.
This meant the image did not find a match on national databases.

> However, other evidence meant officers had an idea who they believed was behind the drugs operation.

So, what’s the story here? What a complete fucking sham of a propagandist article.
These sound like the words of a time-traveler from the CBS board room 75 years ago!
I kicked the tyres on the new Quantum'd Firefox. Oddly I found that the GPU utilisation on my MacBook Pro is significantly higher than Chrome, even higher than Safari. Playing a YouTube video would make the MBP's fans spin significantly faster than normal which meant it' wasn't overly usable. The numbers were roughly 750 Mhz Firefox, 550 Mhz Chrome and 450 Mhz with Safari.

Not sure if it's an option I've got configured, I'd love to find out what was causing this though!
They are not pretending that. The article states that the fingerprints in the photo were unusable.

If you think that Amazon got where it has in government because of competition, I have a bridge to sell you. That's not how business is done in the public sector. It's just not. Years of legislation have built massive systems of patronage that must be satisfied no matter what service or system you provide.

"Trust a product"...that's part of the problem right there. Why do we have to trust them? It's just weird how emotion becomes part of this. I'm not trying to single you out or anything. I do it too, reflexively.

I guess my point is that the only difference between Oracle and Amazon are some letters in the name and some circumstances. If you think that Amazon won't behave in exactly the same way under a different set of circumstances, then you are going to be let down.

Maybe I'm just rambling...I'm pretty pessimistic about the state of the IT industry and American business in general. It's all just so incredibly short sighted.
Usually, I think. But to be honest I have plenty of stuff on my to-do list before I get all the way down to "return gifts from Amazon."
Most ES6 features are available in Chrome and Firefox. Not sure what the issue is with async and await, all it is, is syntactic sugar really. It shouldn't have a lag time any differently.

Babel (transpiler) is super easy to setup if you have any problems with compatibility.
Very strange and misleading article. They talk about using a photo of a finger to catch someone based on their finger print. But then later on they write: "However, there were just parts of the middle and bottom of a finger visible - records only keep the top part.This meant the image did not find a match on national databases."

So really neither the fingerprint or whatsapp had anything to do with the arrest.

What I like about this project, besides the dedication and professionalism of the team behind it, is that it offers PC gamers a possible way to play Windows-era games moving forward. In a decade or two, we likely won't be able to activate a Windows XP machine (and wouldn't want to with all of the security hazards either) so it's great to have a free and open source project to run our Windows stuff.
If you think that Amazon won't behave in exactly the same manner under different circumstances, you are in for a let down. They are a business, Oracle is doing what's "right for their shareholders". They all behave this way.
