I suspect it's actually their contracts with music producers and large content providers that forced YouTube to implement these filters.
I appreciate the context. I read the first 150 or so pages about 20 years ago and gave up. (Had the same reaction to Don Quixote) I enjoyed the links between disparate topics but the style got to be much.

Are you supposed to get everything in Knuth's The Art of Computer Programming on the first read?

The Art of Computer Programming is a reference work so this isn't as trenchant a counterpoint as you might have thought.
This 100x! Falling in love with "making things" in my mind might the single most important trait to be come a successful entrepreneur. The other trait might be "insatiable curiosity", but I think someone who "makes things" demonstrates a curiosity to identify interesting spaces and the resourcefulness to piece together a solution.
> And the Western European governments have _death panels_ to decide who deserves medical care and who deserves to die.

In the US, we just call them "insurance companies".

> And, in Western Europe, you must wait over a month for your non-urgent surgery

Have you ever tried to get non-urgent surgery in the US?

> In a survey of 15 large U.S. metropolitan areas conducted by national physician search firm Merritt Hawkins, researchers found the average patient waited approximately 29.3 days to see a family medicine practitioner in 2016, an increase of approximately 50 percent since 2014.

> And guess what, your taxes are 50% higher to pay for all this.

Europeans pay half what the US does for their healthcare, including taxes.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_total_hea...
60% of the amount between £100-120k.

For that additional £20k in gross salary, your take home pay only increases by £8k, so the _marginal rate_ for each additional pound in that bracket is 60%.
Sure. I love the dialogues, they are by far my favorite part of the book.
And the general, consistent feeling of well-being and attentiveness is seductive - it makes you feel like it'll always be there, without any maintenance.
> And the Western European governments have _death panels_ to decide who deserves medical care and who deserves to die.

Private insurance is also a death panel, they decide who deserves medical care and who deserves to die.

> And guess what, your taxes are 50% higher to pay for all this.

The US health-care is not tax-free, you already pay more in the US for health-care with just the taxes than Western Europe. It's just that you also pay insurance on top of those taxes as well.
Like another commenter, I was in my 20s. I had no background in Math or CS when I read GEB. I was just a self taught C programmer writing door games for BBS systems. I read it cover to cover and it inflated my mind like a segmented bouncy castle. I had whole rooms to play in that I had never even realized were in there. Parts of it were slow, but I just put that down to my ignorance and plowed on. I can honestly say the book changed my life.
Okay, but you've now moved the goal posts from "mere dissent is harassment" to "people suggesting that I deserve fewer human rights than them is harassment" which, well, yeah.

Arguments containing a premise that the other side is a lesser human generally don't go well. I don't think that is unique to this situation.
Well, they don't throttle torrent in any noticeable way (torrenting with 10-20 MB/s or even more is not uncommon). And torrenting is pretty active in Hungary. They also provide ipv6 addresses too, I really can't say anything bad about my ISP. But it could very well be them who do the throttling to Youtube, I can't any way verify that.
oh absolutely! By no means is a way to get $MM/year easily.

PolitiFact, a liberal site, rates your claim as FALSE: http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/statements/2015/aug/...

That graph is not even accurate.

This says Canada's health care spending is $6600 per person: https://www.ctvnews.ca/health/canada-to-spend-more-than-6-60... while your graph says its $4500. Those numbers aren't even in the same ballpark.

> I am sure that much of that take-home pay is offset by higher medical costs and the need for more retirement savings

This is not true. Those same workers get most or all of their insurance costs covered by the company. Same goes for retirement with 401k plans, etc.

> Not to mention the fact that the American work week is longer and vacation days are rarer.

This is true.
As a third-world citizen, reading about US worker conditions in Reddit made me realize that working minimum-wage burger-flipping job with no benefits in US affords you a better life than working one of the rarer white-collar high-skill jobs in my country.
In my ~/.bashrc, this works well for me. I did have to add --restrict-filenames after encountering some sites using really long titles that were problematic.

I don't know about the UK, but my net annual savings in the US is about equal to what my gross income would be in France or Germany.
If I worked in the tech industry I'm sure the difference would be even greater.

Also, healthcare is a problem in the US for people who don't get it from their employer. For those who do, it's often relatively inexpensive. I pay ~$100/month for really good coverage.

It's the lower to lower-middle class that has it difficult in the US.
> London's tech market is hugely contractor oriented

Is that because of labor regulations there?
The graph is inaccurate because the 2017 and 2015 numbers are different?

Find any source - any reputable source - that indicate US healthcare costs are anywhere near the rest of the OECD.
Hi vivan. Thanks for your comment. Besides the signature of an email using the robustness and persistence of the blockchain, what is different with "Email Stamping" and especially interesting for professionals who send sensitive emails (e.g., lawyers, insurers, brokers...) is that they have a way to show they sent an email with a specific content at a specific time.

A decisive challenge raised by today’s email dominance in the workplace is that the latter means of communication does not offer a built-in function to prove the integrity and authenticity neither of its content nor of its origin. Knowing that emails are increasingly presented as legal evidence in courts worldwide, it becomes urgent to think of approaches that could palliate the inherent flaws of email.

EDIT: And yes, Gmelius offers a lightweight CRM targeting SMEs that covers all the stages of the modern communication flow: from the first interaction to the potential signature of a contract/quote. Besides, Gmelius offers a shared inbox making possible to follow-up on leads, stay in sync with your team.
Why would you plan to fail? You could just use different data from the start that doesn't require you to sign an NDA.

What I don't understand, and you may say that it's the intrenched powers keeping the status quo, is why the US picks such poor implementations of certain ideas.

The article mentions low collective bargaining. Our model, as an American, is pretty much one union per vertical. There is the Teamsters. There are no unions that compete with the Teamsters. I believe that Germany has unions that fight each other for contracts and membership. At the same time our model is one filled with corruption. (Though I've never heard many complain about IBREW corruption.) Our auto union would rather see the company disappear than reduce wages, or have some of their members dismissed. All the while it's common to hear stories of the Auto Workers Union defending drunk forklift drivers making north of 90k a year.

If it is just institutional power, why do we defend or allow this? I was watching Killer Mike on Colbert just now. He complained about the plight of blacks in poor communities. It seems like they are a microcosm of the general problems facing this country. He talked about how the governments kept people down. When he mentioned the communities affected (an abridged list I'm sure), they all had democratically elected officials by that community. The party hadn't changed in 60 years. Why do they, and the US in general, allow these failures to continue? Tribalism?
People read the dialogues?
the question that fascinates me is - what is the property of a program that makes it undecidable? I've been playing around with the idea of trying to make a program that determines halts/doesn't halt/don't know, given some representation of a program. I'm running into some interesting implications when I incorporate dependent typing, but it feels like there must be something theoretical that's already out there.
Ok I'll look for Voss's blog.

Because, here is the full text of the infamous article 13 and there is nothing in it that I can read as "makes the publishing infringing material the point of liability":
1.Information society service providers that store and provide to the public access to large amounts of works or other subject-matter uploaded by their users shall, in cooperation with rightholders, take measures to ensure the functioning of agreements concluded with rightholders for the use of their works or other subject-matter or to prevent the availability on their services of works or other subject-matter identified by rightholders through the cooperation with the service providers. Those measures, such as the use of effective content recognition technologies, shall be appropriate and proportionate. The service providers shall provide rightholders with adequate information on the functioning and the deployment of the measures, as well as, when relevant, adequate reporting on the recognition and use of the works and other subject-matter.
2.Member States shall ensure that the service providers referred to in paragraph 1 put in place complaints and redress mechanisms that are available to users in case of disputes over the application of the measures referred to in paragraph 1.
3.Member States shall facilitate, where appropriate, the cooperation between the information society service providers and rightholders through stakeholder dialogues to define best practices, such as appropriate and proportionate content recognition technologies, taking into account, among others, the nature of the services, the availability of the technologies and their effectiveness in light of technological developments.

This is an issue as it relates to it's editorial decisions on controversial political issues.

Does Facebook allowing white-nationalist content mean it's endorsing it as an editorial decision?

If any other publication published content that endorses white nationalism, they'd be shunned by the advertising world. Can't imagine Proctor & Gamble or Chevrolet as willing to place their ads next to white-nationalist content in Facebook.
Per Alex's comment on this post (and, in fact, the current top comment):

"Permission requests are becoming optional, at least for now. Previously we required permission for all non-anonymized message contributors, now there will be an option to publish stuff immediately and let people anonymize themselves later if they want. If this is excessively abused we'll re-evaluate this, but we've tried to build things to incentivize good judgment."

It requires opt-in from all parties now, but there's already a publicized plan to change that.

"And yes, it does violate basic expectations - that's on purpose."

I'm not sure how "don't worry guys, we're intentionally building a product to facilitate the wholesale violation of decades-old email etiquette and common courtesy" is supposed to make this idea sound any less horrific.
Simpler to just punish the people and companies that exploit illegal labor.

And of course doing that would reduce the incentive to come here and work illegally...

Performing OCR by running parallel instances of Tesseract 4.0
This is how I feel. I'm taxed a lot, but I can see that money being used for things to benefit me and those around me. I appreciate that I don't have to worry about bike infrastructure, or healthcare, or education, or my coworkers being stressed out about taking time off after having a kid. If I had that money in-hand those are the same things I'd want to buy with it anyway (except then I'd have to worry about actually taking care of all the details myself whereas now I don't). At the same time I feel like I can afford what I need/want even if I take home less money than I would in parts of the US.
The things that make you feel happy and fulfilled today might be the very things that make you feel unhappy and empty tomorrow. The challenge is that most people can't tell till they find themselves in that unhappy state.

My advice for any young person is to learn to think for themselves and figure out things for themselves. There is no magical advice out there that will work for everyone. The same thing that will transform someone's life in an amazing way will ruin someone else life.
> nobody here will come to the conclusion they better leave to the EU because they'd be better there

If not the EU, there is this fairly European country that shares timezones with the US and has a reasonable tech scene going on, and you can actually drive back and forth between the US and this country across the longest undefended border in the world.

It used to be one of the US's best friends and strongest allies. Before Russia swooped in like a bad new BF/GF and convinced the US that all of its friends are really its enemies.

There is already a fair bit of job mobility between this country and the US, and you can get these weird "socialist" things like healthcare and education that won't bankrupt you.

You're welcome here.
It does that well - I'm almost tempted to go nocode for the solution I'm working on. Problem is that a small bit of code is needed to handle one small part of it, so I probably will have to just roll my own anyway.

> The point is that rust already feels like being thrown into the deep end of the pool, and all the lambda calc is as deep if not deeper.

I don't think you need an undergraduate degree to understand the un-typed lambda calculus. You can build an intuition for it with syntactic substitution at first. For such a big idea it's really quite simple in practice. That makes it quite beautiful.

Moving to the typed lambda calculus is the next step and builds upon the prior knowledge.

The reason I think it's useful is that it allows you to reason about abstractions -- even complicated ones -- in a manner that reduces the cognitive burden on us. It's also not tied to any single programming language: they can all be modeled with mathematics. Proofs are programs and programs are proofs.

I do agree that a hefty does of practical application helps to solidify theoretical understanding. I see them as informing one another.
The AI Skills Crisis and How to Close the Gap
Wow, I would recommend exactly the opposite. If you wanted a dry statement of Hofstadter's philosophy, you could read I Am A Strange Loop, but GEB is remarkable for its form, including the dialogues.
Social mobility doesn't really matter when everyone more or less has the same quality of life, as in Europe. That's what many don't understand. The Europeans have essentially nullified the value of social mobility in the first place. That is why their economies are more stagnant than that of the US.
Apple Registers Several New Mac and iPad Models in Eurasia
I'm right handed but used to use a mouse left handed for most of the time I was growing up. Using a mouse right handed used to feel awkward. The only reason I really switched was every other computer i used seem to have the mouse on the right and I got sick of switching them all the time and video games started using WASD controls. Before that for games like Duke nukem and doom i'd always used the numpad bur newer games started forcing the WASD. So I just started using my mouse right handed.

You said cavemen talk. Which is just ridiculous to be honest.
> If you think something is important but people older than you hold don't hold it in high regard, there's a decent chance that you're right and they're wrong. Status lags by a generation or more.

I winced a little bit at this one, though it's worded strangely so I may be misinterpreting it. The way I took it is poor advice -- when there is a mismatch between yourself and another in terms of "what's important" or what should be kept in "high regard", do not immediately assume the other person is a moral failure. This is the kind of thinking that leads to division and mistrust between people. The proper way to react to this is to make a good faith effort to understand why the person doesn't care about the issue you do, and be conscious that you may also change your mind one day. "Strong opinions, weakly held."
Thanks, to me that is definitely the simple and obvious answer. It’s the one I come to as well viewing things from the outside. I do wonder if it’s too simplistic and appealing because it is so neat though.
”not enough data for meaningful answer" is a valid answer.

It is, but in some circumstances it can then call intelligence, sincerity, or familiarity with the subject into question. If you say that data isn’t present for a meaningful answer to the question of the existence of an afterlife, I’m inclined to take your position seriously. If by contrast your position is that there is insufficient data to support a conclusion as to the existence of gravity I’d question your intelligence or sincerity.

Frederick Douglass' autobiography is one of the most inspiring books I've ever read, a book which every American should read.

However, after reading his story, one cannot help but be angered by the many who push the popular, patronizing, and cryptically racist mantra that black americans don't have the power within themselves to overcome the legacy of slavery.

None of these are European, though. Should be easy to sell, especially now that UK is exiting.
When a settler's cabin was attacked, the warriors would attack everyone -- armed men plus unarmed women and children. At the end of the attack, captured women and girls would often be raped then killed. The surviving men would be scalped and tortured to death over a couple of days. The injured would be hacked to death by the Indian women and children. You can debate how often this happened, but first-hand stories are relatively common in surviving military personnel diaries from the time.

What would be our reaction today if a group of people attacked a family and did such things? We talk about the horror of mass shootings, but they don't even come close to that level of horrifying. All of this violated the rules of war and decent behavior. After seeing the remains of this horror show, what would you be inclined to do when you caught up with the perpetrators?

Mens Rea

If I sell you the Brooklyn Bridge and demand payment in Monopoly money, who's the real crook? I would be because I sold what I did not own and reaped a profit (however small) at your expense. If an Indian sold land they didn't believe they owned for what they believed to be valuable, who was the real thief?

Consider scalping. While it is generally considered a method of trophy collecting, the meaning was deeper. A scalped warrior was denied access to the eternal hunting grounds. Literally, to their minds, scalping was a way of keeping someone from going to heaven. Doing this from the motive of hatred or payment by the French/British was still the ultimate condemnation (and in the case of payment, without even the excuse of honor).

The re-writing of history to fit current politics doesn't do society any favors.
