That's not because of the surgery. It's because he was forced into an extended fast before (and after) the surgery. Type 2 diabetes reverses almost immediately with fasting.

I have no personal involvement with Dr. Jason Fung's clinic in Canada, but he claims to reverse type 2 diabetes in virtually every case. https://idmprogram.com/

> So this seems to have happened because Youtube wants The Blender Foundation to agree to have their videos monetized.

But that doesn't seem to make sense. There are lots of popular channels that don't have advertising and Blender's videos are popular but not that popular.

Their blogpost about it is here: https://www.blender.org/media-exposure/youtube-blocks-blende...

I haven't looked at the contract they posted, but they seem to have the same interpretation as you. Maybe it's just an updated contract that includes new rules if you monetize?

(that aside, the communication chain from google posted there is just atrocious. I wouldn't sign a 6 page contract based on those robo-emails either)
And what approach is that? Delaying the inevitable? :)

Mentioning "whataboutism" should IMO be labelled as logical fallacy. Not once have I seen it used as a valid counterargument. Instead, it's always the same pattern: person A states a problem, person B points out that it's non-problem distracting attention from the core of the issue, and then person B gets accused of "whataboutism"...

Today's VR Headsets are low resolution. If your video source is higher resolution than the display then it must be downsampled. Downsampling will introduce aliasing artifacts unless an anti-aliasing pass is preformed prior to downsampling.

> Image scaling can be interpreted as a form of image resampling or image reconstruction from the view of the Nyquist sampling theorem. According to the theorem, downsampling to a smaller image from a higher-resolution original can only be carried out after applying a suitable 2D anti-aliasing filter to prevent aliasing artifacts. The image is reduced to the information that can be carried by the smaller image.

- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image_scaling

In an ideal situation, your source resolution would match your target resolution. If it doesn't then you must expend resources scaling. VR can't leverage the 2D scalers found in most hardware since the source data is being mapped into 3D space. If you have to downscale your source then on top of the processing resources being used to scale in 3d space, you're also wasting bandwidth delivering those resources at a higher resolution.
The US courts have ruled that children are not to be incarcerated with their parents. It seems reasonable and moral that children are not punished for the crimes their parents commit. If the parents break the law and go to jail, the children go somewhere else, like foster care. When the parents get out of jail, they have to find their children to bring the family back together. This situation is not really hard to understand if you think that the government should enforce the current immigration laws.

The US immigration system has been so screwed up for so long that everyone just keeps kicking the problems down the road. Probably needs a complete deletion and start from scratch re-write, but that almost never works out like one hopes.
I was involved back in 2003-2004 with an Australian company called SeeingMachines (I worked for a UK redistributor).

These guys made a remote video face-and-eye tracker that they sold to automotive companies wanting to research different dashboard designs -- they would look for blinks and head-nods to measure how fatigued a driver was, and to optimise the dashboard design to keep the driver awake.

I'm sure they are now selling their technology to automotive OEMs for placement in driver-facing camera ECUs.

Their technology worked OK back in 2003. I'm sure it is very robust and mature by now.

Diabetes can already be cured, without the sick concept of a gastric bypass as some sort of a solution. Type 2 diabetes can be completely reversed following a 14 to 40 day water fast or a series of short 4-7 day dry fasts. This is complete insanity that such a simple solution is still not mainstream in 2018.
This is clickbait at best, and isn't a cure for Diabetes. Yes it will help a very small fraction of those that suffer from Type 2, but on the whole the article (title especially) is very misleading.
As someone who has recently gotten into fasting for health and aesthetic reasons, I wonder about the best place to learn more about it in depth. It seems like it could be a very powerful asset in one's health toolbox, but I also don't want to accidentally screw myself up by doing it the wrong way. Please advise.
The United States? Can you clarify your question, I don't understand it.
Coursera also removed it completely.
It was only a matter of time.

Today computers like imacs, ipads, mobile phones or tvs(not even talking about Alexa), clocks could spy on you in your house at every single time and give the data back to home at the other side of the globe.

Your pulse could be monitored, your movement could be monitored, who you talk with privately could be monitored, who you sleep with could be monitored.

Once this is possible it is a temptation so great for the US Government(or any other Govertment) and status quo to resist.

It is only a matter of time that Governments react. Of course the other powers of the wold want to do what the US Govertment already does.

Massive surveillance spying using technology created by companies of the same country? Already done by the US.

Protecting sensitive data from outside Governments? Already done by the US.

Restricting companies from working in strategic sectors and forcing them to provide source code? Already done by the US.
You mean rich people are to blame for poor people destroying their environment because the rich people set an example for poor people to aspire to? Have you got a suggestion for a way to solve that problem other than what the Khmer Rouge did?

I have. Forbid poor people from becoming rich. By keeping them in fixed economic classes, they won't have the motivation to compete so hard and then the fish will be saved. There are obvious bad side effects of this. Can you improve on it?
I think the point was mostly if you are filtering to downsample, you should probably not have downloaded the bytes or have wasted the energy decoding.
I don't necessarily thing Facebook was in the wrong here. Sure maybe somebody made that request to delete the profile against the family wishes but Facebook doxing someone also isn't very acceptable.
It would be rather ironic if Blender was able to remove Youtube's dominance :-)
No, I'm suggesting that you can't change a contract (ToS) after it's been accepted without consideration.

Blender already had an account and videos hosted on Youtube. Blender did not change their videos. YouTube changed their rules - and is holding Blender's videos hostage until they accept NEW terms.

These aren't terms already part of Blender's contract - which is why Youtube is literally trying to force Blender to sign a new contract and refuses to execute their original ToS.

In theory it is more secure than Flash and "more open". Flash was bad because it was a security nightmare even "sandboxed" and the player was closed source. Nothing prevents either ActionScript or Java from compiling to web assembly though. Flash API are close to Web API so Flash could absolutely export to WASM. Now is Adobe interested in this is the question.
I'm guessing they're checking some sort of database for recently-deceased automatically. I don't see why it'd trigger an automatic deletion rather than setting the account to some sort of inactive status, though.

Edit: I'm wrong, it has to be specifically requested. I wonder how they determine whether the requester is privileged.
Your "think of the children" argument is pretty weak, really. Humans are pretty good drivers, and if we had more strict licensing requirements/testing and actual severe penalties for DUI we'd probably cut the death rate by 3/4 and not have to use random people for guinea pigs.

I would say that if you want to run a platform for communication and expression, you shouldn't run rampant across it like a bully. There's a limit to what any company should be able to get away with in their terms of service. Push far enough, and the customers will leave with a bad taste in their mouth.

You can start running a platform for free expression, then start bullying people into adherence to a monetization policy. You're within your rights. However, that's a stupid level of bait and switch, like billing yourself as a vegan restaurant, but telling everyone they can only eat burgers.
Startup actually has a legal definition, generally referring to a company that has not yet commenced its revenue-generating activities.

Then, the term was extended to mean a company that had not yet identified a profitable business model but was (presumably) working toward it.

Now, it's whatever the tech bros want it to be so that they can tell women that they work for a startup.
I do, actually. Along with HFA. I also play games at a competitive high level, which can contribute to it. (top 10 pubg in a season, a+ esea CS, diamond siege etc.) It's so common in these communities to have at least 120hz which makes the most sense if you play CSGO ESEA. I wish Siege would improve interp and go to 120hz instead of 60. It's atrocious the things you die to.

I think most people I associate with are diagnosed ADD, but they're also high skill gamers.
Was just wondering the same. What can we do as consumers? Trying to get laws changed is almost impossible and we don't really have much of a choice in providers. Even the smaller companies just resell att/verizon/tmobile.

The two parties either agree, or they don't. Full stop. Blockchain, or any buzzword technology, doesn't solve this eternal problem.

Third parties have historically been pretty good at sussing out consensus from the two. Judicial systems, market exchanges, etc.

When you pay a middleman, you are literally paying for Trust-as-a-Service, among other things (brokerage, etc).

Blockchain also costs money to build and maintain as a service, but it's probably the fact that the enormous cost is socialized that makes it an easy pill for many to swallow.

Exactly. Fasting cures diabetes as well as a host of many other "incurable" "diseases". But there is no money in fasting, so our messed up world continues to reject it as a valid solution.
That's generally not what Debian users do. You can "pin" only specific packages from Debian testing.

It's not guaranteed to work, but for end user facing software that nothing else links to, like Wireshark, it's likely to be completely fine. But no guarantees.

The search term is probably "apt pinning" but it's also in the Debian Wiki.

If you find that you'd rather rebuild the latest source package, you can rebuild the latest source package (apt build-dep will even install the build environment for you) and all the Debian specific patches will be included.
A question that helps me in these scenarios:

Just curious, why would I use this instead of Sidekiq, Celery or any other job / background worker service that runs along side my app?

Almost all popular job processing libraries in all major frameworks support executing 1 off tasks with robust retry policies and even support recurring tasks.

The operational complexity is really just running the sidekiq or celery command in another Docker container or if you don't use Docker, then setting up 1 extra systemd unit file.

I once had a Celery / Flask app running on a $20 / month digitalocean server. It handled over 3 million background jobs per month and it also hosted my DB server, cache server and web front end.

On your pricing page, your highest tier supports up to 100,000 requests per month at $129/month. How much would it cost to do 3 million requests per month?

Also how would you set up custom retry policies?
Maybe I was being hyperbolic, but it could refer to any or all of the following:

1. The W3C standards convention
2. Being a product of Facebook
3. The old license being restrictive
4. Too much hype around the framework

I'm positive I've seen people conjure these reasons before. I was deterred from React mainly for the third reason. When they fixed their license, I felt no need to pursue alternatives. I've played around with Vue a bit, and I just wasn't compelled enough to switch to it. It seemed like a solved problem already. The only thing that will get me to switch from React is a 2x in performance and/or a 10x reduction in complexity or size.

In the Uber case, the system that would have automatically braked upon seeing the bicyclist was disabled. According to their data, it would have stopped on its own, had it been engage. Additionally, there was no system to automatically alert the driver of the hazard the car had been ordered to ignore. And the driver wasn't paying attention.

So it's not nearly as bad as it's made out to be. the fatality was a consequence of multiple human errors, both consciously and neglectfully. The automation was not in error.

The cognitive overhead of redux ends up being pretty high due to the boilerplate in my opinion. It feels like complexity increases very linearly as project size goes. I've found that MobX translates to a much simpler mental model, though it does have a variety of quirks to deal with that Redux doesn't face (like converting objects to non-observable for test case assertions)
>These days a critical mass can be reached within a trading zone with not much (percentage wise) value added outside of that.

I'd argue it has more to do with language. The internet went global because English is a lingua franca across many different countries. There were lots of gains to be made by allowing it to work irrespective of national borders.

In contrast, the vast vaaast majority of cultural and economic activity being done in a Chinese language is being done under the PRC. Taiwan’s not big enough to compare and neither are the Chinese communities in SE Asia, the US, Australia, etc. (and among that latter group, they do quite a bit of their interaction in English anyway).

Eric Hobsbawm’s a political scientist who is considered an authority on the concept of Nationalism. One of his arguments was that the printing press created a sort of mass-media and standardization around specific languages that created a basis for people to develop a sense of community around what sort of vernacular language they read in. This was one of the progenitors behind the idea of “nationhood.” It’s why so many countries are constituted around common languages despite deep cultural divisions along other dimensions.
It is possible the internet might break the same way, creating an “Anglosphere,” a “Sinosphere,” a “Francosphere,” etc.

BigCo isn't buying you for the $400k per year. Try to figure why they are buying you and work from there. Figure out what your number is and what you think their strategic value of your app is to them. That becomes the floor and ceiling for your negotiations.

The best way to know what you're worth is to engage an investment banker that knows there space, If your app is worth acquiring, there are several other companies that might want to acquire it. A banker's job is to bring those folks to the table and get you the most money. This sounds like a good engagement for a niche bank.

Wait, am I reading this right? If you're a particularly popular channel, you're required to monetize and YT will block you if you don't?

That's ridiculous, and it's totally shooting yourself in the foot.

People using power over the private YouTube platform to push political agendas through censorship crossed the "ridiculous, and it's totally shooting yourself in the foot" threshold awhile back. It's just that it's leaking into the monetization realm.

This is what happens when you let authoritarian mindsets take over your company's culture. You wind up with a company that can't keep its hands off the ecosystem it's supposedly fostering.

PG's definition is but one bastardization of the word "startup" and it is by far the most useless one.

A startup is a company that hasn't identified a profitable business model. Legally, the definition is further restricted to a company which hasn't begun revenue-generating activities.

It's okay to be a startup for a few months while you're getting everything together and launching. Once you've launched, if you're still a startup, that's an embarrassment--it means your product (or products) isn't generating sufficient revenue to be a real business.
This is a terribly important issue, but I'm not clear who the intended audience is. While it does somewhat improve my perspectives on the problem, I think it is mostly for those who might research the issue.
While there are certainly benefits, I can't agree that YouTube loses nothing here. PeerTube is a potential competitor in an ecosystem that's currently functionally monopolistic, and even in a vacuum, having a nontrivial community move to that platform will immediately increase awareness and provide legitimacy.

Perhaps more importantly, the FOSS and tech communities are not a vacuum. Google and YouTube in particular have been getting increasing amounts of negative press recently, and this strongarming of Blender further drives home how far they have gone from the era of "Don't be evil." Additionally, the precedent of changing platforms rather than giving in to Google's pressure has now been set; While there will be no mass exodus, it is easier for entities to follow in Blender's footsteps than it would have been to set the lead, and we may hope that this move turns out well in order to further encourage others with similar inclinations.

I like 360 panorama movies. Done right, the feeling of presence is excellent. VR is a niche to begin with, so I would hesitate to say that any one application (ex.
