It certainly wouldn't surprise me if history repeated itself.
A house hold often includes more than one person. Those other individuals are not gun owners. Gun owners are a fairly small group with a very powerful lobby that needs to be ignored.

Depends on if you need an "excuse" as to how Trump won. If you do, and that excuse is "RUSSIA", you may be interested in the topic.

How to Implement Open Source Container Security: Part 2 Docker Image Scanning
Sorry if this wasn't clear, but I think there should be different classes of users, with different powers.

If we're going to choose a class of privileged users to enact policies on our behalf, sounds like we'd wind up with something like a representative democracy anyway.
When I was there (London, finished 2012) they stopped these - apparently some folk were loading up and feeding their families.
Having spent literally hundreds of hours producing video game content for youtube and twitch, I can say this:

It's an incredibly sad, discouraging experience even if you get traction (and I got some traction). It's also utterly hollow: your entire existence is as a wrapper around the content folks actually want to see. The most successful streamers develop their own brand, but these people are the 0.5%, the Felixs and the _sips and the ZachScotts. They're the exception, and even they have specific genres and subjects that if they venture into they risk losing a massive chunk of their audience.

Once I realized this, I had to stop trying to do it professionally. I'd rather go back to doing software product work. At least I feel like a real person with real impact in this field, as opposed to one of a billion interchangeable wrappers around other people's mostly interchangeable content.

But you can of course go see my youtube channel and watch my old minecraft content if you want. Some of the stuff around the middle of my cycle (i.e., D&S play Minecraft, Minecraft the Hard Way, Sunless Minecraft) was pretty solid for the genre.

I have a feeling that the whole Erom genre is where porn videos were 10 years ago. Low quality, keyword-stuffed, fad-following, repetitive content is so ubiquitous (and all that's needed to get someone off) that someone will come along and be the Erom Hub and swipe the legs out from under the market.

The interesting question, that the article raises but does not answer, is how far Erom is demonstrating a pattern that'll be followed by other genres. There is a lot of similar self published genre fiction, but it is still a different order of magnitude to KU contemporary romance.

> Uploading a video is trivial while captioning still requires significant effort.

No, actually it doesn't. You start with the automatic one that youtube creates and then edit it.

It takes about twice as long as watching the video (i.e. about 2 minutes for each minute of video).

Source: I've started doing this for videos I upload.

Yes, if your audio quality is bad, and youtube can't understand anything so you have to start from nothing it would be significant effort, as you say. But if your audio is clear, it's really not that hard.

If you want perfection (line breaks in logical places, not too much text at a time on the screen, captions synchronized perfectly with the speaker), the time goes up to about 4 or 5x, which is still not "significant effort".

Agreed. I don't really care about Trump, but I voted third party again Clinton. However... doubling down on uberPC, calling people Nazis, saying "it's ok to be white" is white-supremacist talk, every day a new scandal... It's like these people are trying to get him re-elected.
Each time I went to "iwaspoisoned.com", I was greeted by a story and usually a photo of someone claiming they'd been served an undercooked burger. Here's what I just got when I loaded the site again:

That looks as gray and dreadful as any McDonalds burger. The impression I get from "iwaspoisoned.com" is that the median user of the site is, shall we say, of the "steak well done" persuasion. That is fine, those people are fine (those steaks are not fine though), but they are hardly a credible source of information about foodborne illness, and I think it's probably irresponsible to present them directly alongside authoritative (and often unrelated!) reports from inspections agencies.

> My ex lost her job at some point and was looking for a year for a new one. She became terribly depressed

Typical optimistic UBI visions would see a person like that stop looking for a job so hard and start some form of UBI-enabled self employment as the closest simulacrum of that fancy middle class job (that may turn into a full replacement or not, but even just keeping the business net positive could already feel like a small success). Easy to say from a distance, but surely more of an incremental path than job hunting could ever be.

I think I had to wait 2 years instead of my expected 1 year for some games I wanted to play to come out with all their DLC at a good discounted price. Some games also never go below a certain amount no matter how old they are.

The demand for refunds killed the classic Steam sale. They're still good (I got a few games too in the recent one) but feel mediocre to what used to be; they can't do anything fun like they once did like community-voted flash sales where something will be super-duper discounted for an hour while for the rest of the two weeks it'll only be merely super discounted. This last summer sale was a nice improvement though since they added the game giveaways (though I don't know anyone who won one, there weren't that many available).

Agree about Prime Day, it was never good. Usually don't buy anything...

Especially since the cost of living is providing a "cap" to how many people stay, relative to how many newly minted millionaires and lucky startup exit employees there are.

That is, those companies "overflow" into other cities/countries because it's too expensive and there's not enough supply, but the moment you build more and the price would go down, some people who would have left don't, and so the price won't move downward. You'd have to flood the market faster than the big companies hire and startups grow to make a significant change, and that's a LOT of extra capacity to create.

Realistically, making other cities more desirable, encouraging the big tech companies to open more satellite offices than they already do, and more focus on working from home for people who can is likely to make a bigger difference than anything SF itself can do on its own (bonus, it would help other cities like NYC and Boston too!)
A lot of the answers say yes, but I would say no. One of the answers touches on what I think might be the real cause for high productivity:

But none of these are perks that folks usually think of when they think of Google perks.

It works like this. Two teams and the media (owned by the teams) work together. Team A argues their side in the media, and so does Team B. It's important to give the illusion that they are enemies. That way people get interested, they continue to read the media, and Team A or Team B gets attention. Everybody gets what they want.

This is used in elections, staged wars, anything.

As someone with celiac, I have given up trying to eat at any restaurants other than places that specialize in serving customers with allergy/intolerance/gluten issues. I have had incidents and many have stories of negotiating a safe gluten free burrito or whatever, and then they accidentally served a normal one. Like you say, when they screw up we have no recourse, but unlike an allergy, the effects may not be apparent for hours, but lasts for days. The restaurant and the individuals responsible are generally unaware of the severity and insulated from the effects on the victim. I could be out of work for a week or more due to one slip up.

Now that we mention special needs, there are a couple websites that collect celiac-oriented reviews for restaurants, such as https://www.findmeglutenfree.com/search

>Usually people don't have them to learn - they have them to teach.

Doesn't matter IMO.

Both sides are still getting something out of it. Even if they just try to "teach" and think they already know everything, they also get to hear the argument of the other side, and think counterarguments -- thus improving their argument too.

In other words, even if they stick to their a priori beliefs no matter what, they at least learn to defend and define them better, because of having to deal with the other side.

Besides, a discussion is not just something to "learn" from. It's also entertaining on its own, a way to express yourself, hone your thoughts and so on. Learning from the discussion is not required for those things.

Not everything has to have an end goal, or "improve" us.
I used to work with a guy at a computer store in the repair department who was a commercial pilot. He was using the computer store gig as a side job to try to get a foot in the door on an IT career. He said he loved flying, but the compensation he was getting, plus the strict requirements and tough work environment, made it not worth it for him anymore.

> Do you really not understand how per capita income is not a meaningful statistic in a situation where income inequality is extremely high?

Real median household income in the United States is up 20% from 1984. At 0.5% a year, that's less than it could be. But it's still objectively better than it was then, and much better than it was after WWI. Life today is better--for most Americans--than it was at virtually any time in the past.
This is very frustrating for me. I like to watch skilled players who explain their startegy to improve my own game play, but streams are a slog to watch live. Some streamers archive their streams, but big chunks of their recordings are muted because they play copyrighted music.

I know I'm in a tiny minority of people that watch streamers as a learning tool and not as a source of entertainment. No reason to cater to people like me.

Fond (YC W12) Is Hiring a Principal Engineer in Portland
It's no surprise why so many people are still trying to get in even though the market is insane. They just look at those graphs, with 5-20% YOY growth almost every year, see a horrible recession once every few years that has at most a 30% effect on house value (which recovers all "lost" value very quickly)... makes a lot of financial sense. You buy a $2m home and it'll be $3m in no time. Plenty of folks said it would stop a long time ago but it clearly isn't stopping.

I'm genuinely curious as to where the price cap is going to land with the homes. We're already at prices that almost no one can pay (you have to be a 1%'er) - but at what point is it too much even for most of them?

AWS console works just fine for me.
I mean, no one's forcing me to blindly trust programs I run on my own devices. I make a point of only running open source software for this reason. I don't need to inspect the traffic if I can simply read the source code and look for outgoing calls. I won't run Dropbox for this exact reason. Instead I prefer SyncThing, which has no data caps, no central server, and is open source and easy to inspect.

Obviously I'm not actually reading all this source code (who has the time?), but I strongly prefer it to be available, so that I have the ability if desired. Also for reasonably popular stuff the community tends to suss out suspicious activity pretty quickly.

I absolutely do not trust proprietary blobs; they don't get to run on any of my real workstations. I might run them on my Windows install (primarily for games) if I must, and the computer I use for work gets to run anything my company declares that I need (thankfully not much), but I certainly don't trust them.
EVs should have far better margins than ICE vehicles, at least in the interim transition period where prices still reflect the cost of comparable ICE vehicles.

They're far simpler to manufacture once all the electronics have matured enough to be integrated. If you look at the Model 3, the power system is largely bundled with the battery. So the gigafactory is pumping out that module where much of the cost and complexity resides, and the rest of the car is largely devoid of precision machining processes.

ICE vehicles have complicated transmissions and engines, lots of machining and delicate assembly processes.

I expect there to be a period where the margins on EVs are quite fat thanks to inertia in the market's price expectations established by high-cost ICE vehicles. It'll wane once the competition matures and the undercutting commences. These cars should be much cheaper to manufacture (as well as operate/own/maintain).
