Modern censorship at work.

People should not forget that Youtube is an extremely left leaning organization and therefore polices videos under that angle.

Most people in tech are left leaning (especially in the Bay area) and as such this is not seen as a big deal, but this censorship is growing and it is one of the biggest democratic danger at the moment.

The implication of your position (i.e., that my argument is Ad Hom) is that the validity or merit of someone's opinion of Ayn Rand's work is independent of whether they have read her work or not is absurd on the face of it. It implies that people can have valid or valuable opinions on subjects of which they are completely ignorant. These implications are independent of whether my claim is true or false (which, I agree, is a disputable point or at least one that must be validated).

> Meanwhile I stand by it...

You can stand all you want but your position is not defensible in logic. I will repeat what I previously stated: You do not know what Ad Hom means. I know this for a fact because you fail to see an obvious implication of your position. We can address the validity of my claim but only if you see that my argument is not Ad Hom. If not then there is not much else to discuss.

Subscribers get full text and they offer per-section feeds.

Beyond that, a full-featured client can implement either of those features. I use Newsblur.com which allows you to control whether you see the feed's description or the readability-filtered page, and you have a training system to up/down flag authors, tags, and arbitrary text.
Using underlines for input boxes is not clear. And the animation everywhere is very disturbing. I have high sensitivity to visual motion, which is a useful thing in most other situations, but the web is becoming increasingly difficult to use.

Even worse, both Chrome and Firefox have been building Material Design style animation in to the browser rendering, and I haven't figured out if there is a way to turn it off. Even on my own sites, where I don't want any animation, the pages are rendered with unpredictable animation.

I said US, not SV, and contrary to the beliefs of some in a bubble, one is not the other. Silicon Valley is also a place full of different people and companies, so no “it” didn’t say anything, the people and companies there have made a ton of claims and promises, some of which they’ve even upheld.

Fortunately jet packs aren’t one of them, because I can’t think of anything more likely to get people killed on a regular basis, while being terminally noisy and polluting. Of course what serious person believed they were getting jet packs? The same people who still think that flying cars will be in every driveway? Some promises are made just because there are people with money who are stupid enough to believe them, and predatory people can’t resist parting fools and their money.

Don’t take it all so personally, and don’t invest in things like Juicero or jet packs and you’ll be a lot happier and wealthier.

> I would say: a pointer has to point to something. Java doesn't have those because you can't get talk about "the thing the pointer points to" as a thing distinct from the pointer itself.

You get at the thing being pointed to by dereferencing the pointer. When you copy around handles to it, you can tell that you're only passing around handles, because if the object is mutable, then changes made from one handle show up in others, but your swap function still won't work. All you can do with the handle is pass it around, copy it, compare it to another handle with == or !=, dereference it, and add an index to it before dereferencing it. Dereferencing is specific to pointers, but for all the other things, they behave just like every over Java primitive does.

The effect of object variables just being pointers comes up in a lot of places, like "why doesn't my swap function work", using "==" to compare objects, initialising multiple variables to the same instance when you expected copy semantics, etc. These aren't rare things, and they're not difficult to think of. The fact that they're just pointers is the clearest explanation for all of that, and it by itself works for all of that.

Agreed, there are timeliness and environmental variables to living costs and land for sure. The fear here seems to be that being a doctor or lawyer to use the cliche won’t secure you housing and that landowner becomes a profession that trumps all in terms of income and social class.

YT is not doing it for fun though. They get paid because they slap ads around the content the creators provide. What you said here means "don't complain you got fired, steer clear of looking entitled" for some creators.

You wouldn't like to hear someone saying that about you losing your job, would you?
Yep, as long as old people continue to massively out-vote young people, Social Security has zero chance of going away or becoming privatized (which is essentially the same as it going away).
Absolute BS. The only reason you would perceive YT to be "left-leaning" is that advertisers in general don't want to be associated with alt-right content. YT is merely mirroring the biases of the advertisers.
At birth, there is a slight bias towards males born. However that is something in the order of 51% male babies to 49% female babies. That is far less pronounced than what is being observed.

I hate how statistics are used to bludgeon people. Anytime an article comes out about economic inequality is posted I see the same familiar pattern. Issue is presented, black people are compared to everyone, shit on, dick measuring about how everyone else is killing it in SV (and of course everything (status-quo) is okay), rinse and repeat.

In the mean time: ecology is in decline, trust in science is on the decline, democracy is in decline, wealth inequality is increasing and accelerating. The emperor has no clothes. Wake up!

> Out of curiosity... forgetting rates for a moment and just checking on numbers of people, aren't there more white people in abject poverty than black people entirely in the USA?

Yes, but that is irrelevant. Poverty rate is 9% for whites, 22% for blacks.

> Seems if the argument is that white wealth propagates - that there should be few poor white people anywhere. There has been no racism towards them, and lots of time to build up the "subsidized wealth".

There are fewer poor white people. The problem is that racism isn't the only factor in play here. Bad education, healthcare, etc. contribute to inequality.

There are issues in play both intra and inter races. As outright racially-driven policies were revoked, whites turned to using wealth as a way to block blacks, resulting in the side effect of punishing poor whites as well.

> I'm not crazy about all this generalization based on skin color.

This isn't generalization. Read the redlining maps. Look at household wealth broken by race, the difference is even sharper than income:

Curious what makes that possible. I thought that most monitizable queries already had 100% of the above the fold content as ads.

At some point, Google is no longer a search engine, but rather, a targeted ad engine with some organic search if you bother to click to page 2.

Starting to feel like the old yellow pages in it's waning days.

Edit: Honestly curious. How do you keep outpacing general internet growth when you've already over optimized click growth. It's an honest question, not snark. I'm curious where the magic lies. I'm honestly surprised there's still magic after a couple of decades of squeeze. There's only so much blood in the turnip. Downvotes don't bother me, if there is some explanation. I'm here to learn.

There are always tradeoffs though. I know many people who got in around the same time as me, did well and had great high paying jobs, a lovely house, car, etc. Then the crash hit, they lost their jobs and couldn't find a new one that paid the same, had cars reposed, etc. Many quickly realised they had committed themselves to way more than they should have. Had the sell the house, etc. Not fun times for everyone.

I love the Instapaper/RSS style consumption as much as anyone but that doesn't mean that multi-MB pages with plenty of JS/CSS/Images are always a bad thing.

Maybe the solution is to differentiate between our long-form high-quality content reading UX from the faster-paced blog/RSS style consumption?
i don't think so. rare case.
I will not reconsider telling people that they're asking victims for additional emotional labor. The very attitude is poisonous. Instead of "take over and solve the peoples' problems" it is, like UX research, mostly an act of listening to people of color, not of declaring themselves the arbiters of the solutions.

All it takes is letting go of one's ego to center the conversation around listening to people of color instead of deciding to take control of the conversation or of their "salvation."
Yes that's it! Now I've got a bunch of other places to throw those... :) I don't know the cost, I just experience the value.

> Everything is against them. Poor language skills, widespread PTSD from what they witnessed, no savings - pretty bad picture.

A lot against them, but a lot of important factors working for them too. For one thing, their family and community structure remained intact, allowing them to build community capital.

Also, because they are Asian, they benefit from the beneficial stereotypes of Asian Americans in educational and business environments AKA "the model minority" myth, and don't experience the presumption of criminality that blacks are often subjected to to this day.

As others have stated, they were also a self selecting group who were fleeing a single acute experience of trauma due to the war vs the intergenerational and normalized trauma of slavery and segregation that blacks face. And to add to that, they arrived with a strong work ethic, but at a time when many immigrant groups landing in the US were doing well. They weren't redlined. Their children weren't excluded from white neighborhoods and schools.

I, as an Asian American, grew up in in a 90% white city with excellent schools, but with a conspicuous lack of black people around. No segregation for me, but it was there if you were black.

None of this is to say Vietnamese and Cambodians had it easy at all. In fact, they are still poorer on average than other immigrant groups who arrived around the same time with better circumstances, like Indians, Taiwanese, etc. That's who you should be comparing them to to understand the effects of disadvantages.
Yeah, this is not predicted by classical economics.

Westerners really need to look at other countries. You do not see these sorts of extreme housing shortages in Asia. You don't see it in Tokyo, Bangkok, Shanghai, or Seoul. I have trouble even explaining what's happening in places like San Francisco or London or Paris to my Asian partners. That's because Asian cities aren't afraid to grow. Tokyo, Bangkok -- these cities have grown enormously and continue to do so [1].

Ultimately, the West has collectively decided to tombstone their cities. There is enormous demand to live in the West's metro centers and yet, at virtually all levels, powerful forces work to ensure that these cities do not expand to satisfy this demand. This decision not to grow is very much a political decision.

The end result here probably won't be good. A great deal of economic growth is being left on table. Cities are the primary engines of economic growth and when they aren't allowed to grow the result is less growth and opportunity. Political instability ticks up; a great deal of many people stuck languishing in less dynamic areas because they can't afford to move to the dynamic cities end up feeling like they're stuck and now want to tear the whole system down. Democracy itself breaks down as the urban-rural divide becomes more and more severe.

But hey, in the short term, those who bought early get rich.

An extremely left leaning organization run by a huge multinational for-profit conglomerate? Perhaps you should look up characteristics of far left organizations. I don't think you know what that term means.
Why would that person necessarily acknowledge that? I suspect they don't agree with you.

It's not as if there is an objectively correct amount of taxation, the matter is up for debate. To the founders of the country, for example, the federal tax rate in the US as it is today would constitute an obscene violation of their expectations.

The tabs will close quickly enough, but then there is an artificial delay before all the other tabs shift over to fill the space on the right. It only a second, but I work quickly and have usually started to move onto a new task by then. The animation breaks my concentration. It's a problem for people who are especially aware of visual motion. If there were a way to turn it off, it would be fine, but I haven't found a way.

As I read the article, Youtube is dropping accounts based on potential copyright liability issues or insufficient advertiser appeal. I suppose you must have read between the lines to find the part where it's all really about Youtube's leftist ideology.
What about the ban of any gun related videos? Isn't that political censorship? Did you already watch Youtube CEO's (Susan Wojcicki) comments on anything political?

My ego doesn't have to imagine anything. People inadvertently install malware all the time. I've personally done the deed of cleaning all that garbage up on hundreds of occasions.

It does mean either locking down access or giving the user proper education (namely: "don't install random crap from the Internet, even if the Internet tells you to do so").
