The problem faced is unprecedented soapboxing. Insane ideas have been around as long as humanity. Usually you stand on a soapbox and preach, people ignore you. Some might even disuade others from listening.

The problem with online opinions is that while the "opinions are like assholes, everyone's got one" adage is true, online nobody is there to tell you "stop watching this stupid thing". And we all know YT comments are a heap of garbage. Also YT/Instagram comments are fully moderated by the author, so removing all disagreements is easy. Easy to give the appearance of consensus.

And worse, once you watch one, YT's algos want to keep you watching so suddenly you are flooded with related vides.

This leads to a problem.
Age has little to do with a serious discussion about a viable president unless pragmatism is your centeral criterion. Clinton was the pragmatic choice... she lost. Warren and trump are old, Clinton was old.

The central criteria for choosing a president should be their choices and moral compass, a strong voice and leader, the ability to turn a movement toward generating money for the candidate and a finger on the pulse of what’s actually going on.

Amazon and Taxes: A Simple Primer
I've sometimes thought about this in terms of being in the military, or what it would take for being involved in one of the "TLAs" - so to speak.

At 45+ years of age, all of those doors are permanently closed to me.

I do think that my thinking on them all is more that of the "romantic notions" of those careers; the reality of them is probably nowhere near as exciting, adventurous, or maybe even as worthwhile, as I might imagine them to have potentially been.
I think you are reading it wrong. It's not “(ad malware) and (tracking injection by ISPs)” but “(ad malware and tracking) injection by ISPs”.
Not only do you have BRI but massive internment camps, massively expensive surveillance systems, massive number of police officers, expensive great firewall. Look China is at war. It's just at war internally and spending a lot of money on it. This internal war is likely more expensive then USA's many foriegn misadventures. Thus China needs to go to Hong Kong to use their money and connections. China has no choice.

Sure, but that is mainly noise reduction and some dead/hot pixel mapping isn't it, and some manufacturers (Sony) do more of that than others (Canon/Nikon). Demosaicing, histogram adjustments, and the final render to JPEG is still done on my PC when I shoot RAW.

In other words, what improvements do you think camera manufacturers can add to the post-capture RAW workflow if we had a faster processor/better software?

(Of course, in pre-capture, there is always room for more improvements to metering and autofocus, but camera manufacturers know this and are constantly making adjustments and improvements each generation.)
Free speech isn't something that was created by the US Constitution, it's a right that everyone has by default. It doesn't matter if it's a private company or a government, restricting what people are allowed to say is still restricting free speech.
Look at how everyone is complaining about Pelosi being "too old". It's a totally disingenuous argument. No one cares about his age, they just don't like his agenda.
Donald Trump is 72 (too old?)
Joe Biden, 75. (so he's out, too)
Nelson Mandela was 77 when he was inaugurated. So he was too old as well?

No, it's a tool, a channel to reach your audience.

This is strange, social media share are for traffic and engagement to drive ad revenue. If done for affirmation, then it's probably not the best thing to do.
Its hard to admit you have a problem when your problem still brings in buckets of money everyday. I dont think they care, how much can a publisher or author sue amazon for peddling counterfeit wares? That is when it will matter, when they start losing large settlements.

The places with cheaper housing also tend to suffer from a dearth of employment options. There are probably a few mid-sized cities out there that have both cheap housing and decently-paid jobs, but I imagine they are few and far between.

What's the saying about journalism?

“The job of the newspaper is to comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable.”
If the company is being logical about this: the more perks a company has, the higher the local taxes.

If the employees would all be spending money on something, it is better for the company to buy it. That keeps the money from being taxed as personal income.

There may also be a "buy in bulk" advantage.

In locations with poor weather or slow travel or complicated entry/exit procedures, food-related perks also save lots of time. Going out to get something could take a very long time.
Huh. This is my self-evaluation trick I've been employing for a year or two now.

I run pomodoros (standard, 25-min) whenever I'm trying to focus on work, and aim to have as much of them as hours at work. I have three marks here: the bronze standard = 100% ratio, i.e. 8 pomodoros for 8 hours of work. The silver standard is 150% ratio, i.e. 12 pomodoros for 8 hours of work. The gold standard is 200%, i.e. 16 pomodoros for 8 hours of work. Note that even the gold standard is only about 6 hours and 40 minutes, because a pomodoro has 25 minutes.

I consider a day in which I hit the bronze standard to be a good day. That adds up to about 3 hours 20 minutes of focused work time, so it's consistent with your result, with the article, and with what I've seen reported around HN. It's surprising how much you actually can accomplish in that time, but I find it frustrating that it can be difficult to get to even that on a regular work day.

Thank you very much for the feedback! You are the first to give me any feedback. I have been hesitated to show it to people as it’s under heavy development. Yes, I also think the lower bar is a bit too much, my intention was to give credits to all the open source projects I use, without them I can’t imagine I would be able to make this website.
No. If anything confirmation bias is a consequence of one particular case of motivated reasoning.

I think you will need to make a much stronger case if you want to convince anyone that this distinction is not useful (and that, therefore, the dismissive comment I initially replied to was justified.)
I don't think the article is even fact based to assume youtube has created a conspiracy theory boom. I remember the dial-up age and people typically knew some corner on the web for reading conspiracy theories to get some laughs. When 9/11 happened there were those conspiracy documentaries and this was before youtube was what it is today.
My guess if a boom is being created. The reason is from people being crafter at getting people absorbed in the conspiracy theories. Maybe the health & happiness of society has decreased and where people are now easily absorbed into conspiracy theories. Misery is a beast that pulls people into time sink holes to escape reality.
The new gTLDs are just as much “real TLDs” to ICANN as the older gTLDs and ccTLDs.
Yeah, that site isn't configured/launched yet; if/when it is, expect to see some kind of announcement. It's common to not resolve at all or display a simple error message when you already have your domain but aren't using it yet.
I think that's what he meant by, "you should definitely be getting your .dev through a different domain provider."
So decreasing productivity even further, even though you could achieve the same amount of finished work with 4 8h days. Why?
How does that idea work in your mind with private companies?

They should be required to host it / anything?
This is a deeply flawed experiment. Of course the employees want a 4-day workweek, which is why they will work extra hard during the trial. I doubt this would be reproduced if employees were told the 4-day weeks were permanent no matter the outcome.

That's an amazing quote, and it will probably hold up for decades if not centuries.... except the "plan an invasion" part. Not sure how intrinsic that is to the nature of a balanced human life.
I think I found the problem:

"Take a look around you at the lives you envy, the ones that make you boil with resentment, or fill you with insecurity about your own subpar existence: That adorable Brooklyn brownstone or chic-but-rustic upstate home; the career that YOU want (and you should have, what are you doing wrong?); the impeccable wardrobe; the mid-century modern furniture; the international vacations; the time spent flitting between gorgeous hotels or going to boutique fitness classes or (seemingly) not working at all."

Do people really envy others like this and make themselves miserable over it? Other than the time not working, that list reads like pure hedonism, much of which is probably best avoided all together.

I also don't think it's such a mystery as to who has come from money and who hasn't. Hint: poor people aren't freelance writers living in Brooklyn and they know those who are come from a different class altogether (since they probably don't even value half of those things).
Why not? if people are into that stuff youtube should strive to optimise their enjoyment.
DeepSqueak, an Algorithm Built to Decode Ultrasonic Rat Squeaks
>to criticising a detective getting a warrant from a judge, that is specifically written to request anonymised data! While investigating a murder in his community

Exactly. I'm extremely pro-privacy (and don't hold a particularly high opinion of police either), but I see nothing wrong here. They made sure to get warrants, made sure the data obtained via the first warrant was anonymized, and then obtained a much more narrowly scoped warrant once they identified a single phone in the dataset that closely corresponded to the facts of the murder. This should be a textbook example of properly protecting privacy while investigating and closing a crime case.

This reminds me of some of the handwringing over police submitting cold case DNA samples to ancestry companies and catching their perpetrator via a match with one of their relatives. That should be something to celebrate, not be concerned about.
No, the error was mine. I zoned out on details because I misinterpreted your earlier sentence and assumed the remainder of the post was poor justification of my misunderstanding of your thesis.
My assumption from that sentence is that both "ad malware" and "ad tracking" are injected by some ISPs somewhere between the client and the server. By forcing HTTPS, you'd prevent some amount of this by ensuring the data in transit from client-to-server-to-client is encrypted (and thus mostly tamper-proof) using the .dev domain's public cert.
What the World Will Get from Blockchain – A List of the Benefits of Blockchain
> I certainly got zero cash from family when I bought a home.

Crucially, this is not the least help your family can offer.

For many (most?) people in the world, their relatives are actually insecure and need financial support. This is a key reason the cycle of poverty can't be broken by one person getting a good job.

I know multiple people who would've easily had a down payment on a house if their parents hadn't lost pensions/savings in the financial crisis.

Several years later, that $100k they used to bail out parents would've grown to $300k+ in equity if they could've bought a house in a city between 2009 and 2012.
There are a few issues impeding vectorization that I see:

1. The memory loads are not stride 1. They're stride 12, effectively.

2. You have i8 -> i32 -> i8 operations going on. Mixed size conversion is generally problematic for vectorization.

3. You're storing 3 bytes of every 12 bytes. The compiler cannot generate extra stores, so it has to introduce masked stores. That's expensive.

The optimal vectorized code for this sort of algorithm is probably an unroll-and-jam: load 4 pixels, shuffle the vectors into r/g/b/a vectors for computation, do the computation, and then shuffle them back into r/g/b/a vectors for storage. This requires some code rewriting--inserting a dummy dest.a = dest.a * 1.0; might convince the compiler to store, although it could well eliminate the store before vectorization.

This sort of thing is why you end up needing a more specialized language for vector codes, such as ISPC.
TLDs matter, in that you want .com if you can get it.
Otherwise, personally I would use something more well known, but most of the differences are vanity, unless you're using a country specific TLD such as .co.uk or .us
tl;dr:
- several Youtube channels have gained popularity promoting conspiracy theories, like the idea that iPhones are recording at all times or that the California wildfires were started intentionally

- Youtube and other platforms like Facebook are now under pressure to clean up misinformation, especially that which can lead to "real-world harm"

- "clean up" has meant changing recommendation algorithms to reduce endless serving of conspiracy theory videos to people who like watching them. Theoretically this means saving them from falling into conspiracy theory rabbit holes

- "clean up" could also mean pending regulation to make platforms legally liable for the algorithmic recommendations they make

- distinguishing content that is "harmful" vs "innocent entertainment" will be tricky for platforms like Youtube

- but the real issue could be deeper - many young people reject mainstream sources in favor of individual voices. The popularity of conspiracy theory videos may be a symptom of a generational shift in what information is trustworthy

Set up a home workshop, or find somebody or someplace (a maker's shop or a hacker space?) who has such tools available.

If you don't own a home, let me tell ya that if you want a lot of physical labor, maintenance on a home is where it is at, every weekend if you want it.

Writing vs. Typing: Which Is the Best for Your Desired Results?
We should switch, not because it raises or maintains productivity, but because it's the right thing to do. Framing the debate in terms of productivity plays into the hands of those who would maintain the status quo. If laborers were properly organized, we could dictate the 4-day or 3-day workweek,
I am constantly surprised at people's inability to imagine that other people lives are different than thier own.

Just because real estate is expensive in the center of a big city doesn't mean it's impossible to buy a house anywhere in the entire country.

Just because you can't support yourself as a writer doesn't mean nobody can support themselves no matter what.

Just because you got free money from your parents doesn't mean everyone gets lots of free money from thier parents.

It is mixed bag. One of the effects is that it deters proactive culling of material because once you start doing that, you may become liable for items you miss. It is why we end up up with systems that are driven by external takedown requests.
This reminds me of when I was working at Microsoft and a colleague said to me: "I don't know how anyone raises a family off less than $130k/year." I laughed and asked him if he'd ever been anywhere in the US outside of Seattle before. Turns out, he hadn't and assumed the insane cost of living we're subject to in this area also exists in the rest of the country.

My point of reference is my family's house in a rural area that is about 2x the size of mine (the property is 10x) and costs 1/3 as much. I wish my career as a software engineer better enabled this type of living but, alas, my corporate overlords require I am ass in desk every day in a metro area.
By that argument, dataflow is also a natural way to think about NumPy/SciPy programs.

However ... that's not really true. Humans prefer to think in terms of operations (consecutive steps) and labels for intermediate results.

The most important situation where this is important is if the dataflow is dynamic. A dynamic graph can make it unclear what is assigned to what, at which point in time, and programming becomes a mess.

Yeah, because we're currently in the early access program, which is a Dutch auction. Once the auction ends on the 28th, domains will be available starting from the base registration price.
Correct. The NYTimes wants to control the narrative, decide what’s important, and in some cases, outright lie to the public, and get away with it because there are no counter narratives allowed. Hence this article, proposing government regulation of the media. They think people are too stupid to see what they are doing.
I am currently caught up in an amazon scam. The third party seller listed items, put in fake shipping, item never arrived. It's been over a month and I am still fighting amazon to get my money back. They have an "A to Z guarantee" which doesn't work, at least not in my case.

I’ve really found this to be the case with every app I’ve made. I used to make the app, then start working on marketing, and then realize in trying to frame the app for its target audience that there were a bunch of things I’d want to change in the app. By constantly working on the marketing aspect, you’re able to get those things in early. Launching the initial prototype to a group of trusted testers and then iterating constantly is a really effective way of doing this, at least in my experience.
