The recommendation algorithm should distinguish between viewers who happen upon a video like this once in a while and viewers who binge-watch them, and disregard the latter when putting together input for the algorithm that determines what shows up in people's "Watch Next" sidebars.

They could also detect links to compromising timestamps in the comments, take them down, and shut down the accounts that post them. It's not particularly challenging.

The study in the article tested this hypothesis and refuted it.
How exactly would you "set" a mental injury?
I think you could apply for exceptions like you would for child actors (e.g. whatever law allows them to get around child labor laws)

Point is there should be a way to limit public sharing of photos and videos without a child's consent. There should be a good reason, beyond a parent's own narcissism.
I've been using blokada on Android and it's been a joy honestly, life without obtrusive ads taking up precious mobile screen real estate is hard to live without. When I use my partners phone it's like a carnival with all the flashy ads trying to get my attention. Good riddance.

I had such a job. I was getting paid more than 75% over the previous job. I was so bored in that job that I quit after three weeks, took a huge pay cut and moved to more interesting work.

I still regret it sometimes. YMMV.
You seem to be figuring us out quite well. Most of the inter regional loathing is a sort of benign, almost friendly loathing, until you look south or north(depending on starting point)... North-south divide is a little more real, if you see what I mean.

Well, England unites for soccer, Scotland, with their own footie team, hopes for England to go out on penalties, as always. :)

For things where there's a British rather than English team they might.
You're arguing against it being absolutely rigged when what most people mean is minorly rigged here and there. You're reading an article about the rigging of games, yet you might have made this same comment in 2006. Unfortunately with the state of basketball, the problem is that a game can't be reviewed for a reasonably objective per-play foul count to determine accuracy. So you get to easily say "where's the evidence of subjective thing being done for reason X" and never get an answer, same as you could have about Donaghy until he was busted.
You can think of 1 high profile incident. But the failure is easy to overlook. Why do you think that there aren't more? (Also, I'm pretty sure I've seen others like this in the news; it's not "one time" caught)
Nobody in my family has a Mac on an iOS devise.

It's possible to have family videos private on YouTube and only share them with a small circle of people.
First Look at StanfordNLP
It's more difficult for law enforcement to prosecute illegal usage of social media than other 'utilities'. Given the international nature of most social media, illegal usage could happen anywhere on Earth and no one but local law enforcement would have no power to do anything. If someone started stealing electricity without paying or using it for some illegal purpose it would be much easier to prosecute them as they would likely be within the same jurisdiction as the utility operates.
It is fascinating to see the crowd mentality that comes from sports team, political groups and other areas.

Rationally speaking, it is entirely possible for at least some games to be rigged from time to time. It does not mean that the whole game has to be rigged, just parts of them.

I think someone who is emotionally invested in a team will find it substantially harder to make objective assessment of a game that involves their team or a team they have cognitive bias towards.
Considered Harmful Clickbait Considered Harmful (2019)
Indeed. But it's worth noting that these dogs were prevalent before sheep's wool was introduced to the Pacific Northwest. That's noted above the "extinction" section, but was a driving factor in the breed's decline as well. The industrial revolution aside, the need to preserve the breed's coat qualities for handweavers dropped off due to the introduction of other, superior fibers. Thus the cited cross-breeding with European dogs is very likely just a symptom of the other trends rather than a cause the breed was lost.

I learned the hard way that youtube is not useful for sharing family videos with a limited audience (ie: immediate family. 10 people, tops.).

I uploaded my children's dance recital video, as an unlisted video, and earned myself a copyright strike because of the background music.
Incorporate, only if/when it begins generating revenue. As of the other concerns, I keep separate emails, hosting servers, SaaS subscription, PayPal/Stripe/Payoneer/bank accounts for every side project that might bring in revenue, even negligent.
No, you're right: highly respected and professionally stable women often go out of their way to drag themselves and their reputations through the mud to have no effect on the nomination and subsequent appointment of a Supreme Court Justice. That makes perfect sense.
I had no idea the copyright lobbying was so strong in Germany. We absolutely suck.
How effective is YT Kids mobile app at filtering out this junk?
Correct. There's a difference between what theoretically should be, and what we actually see happening, and what is enforced. The legislative branch seems happy to abdicate /its/ role to the administrative in the states when it finds it convenient to do so.

YouTube tried to fix their comment system by forcing people to attach them to Google accounts with real names. The anonymity is part of the problem (look at how much banning Reddit has had to do due to advertiser pushback. It's not an open platform at all. Voat and 4chan are good examples of what anonymity leads to).

Anonymous comments are always going to go down that path. The way Facebook slowly released and tried to keep all accounts real has contributed to the way it's network works. We see other sites trying to do this like OKCupid which tried to force people to use their real first names.

I personally think there is something that's lost when you lose that anonymity. There is a reality people let themselves be, and there's something valuable that can be learned about society which is overshadowed but just calling comments a cesspool.
> The thing is, even if someone is a perv and gets off on this sort of thing, it isn't endangering her. I'm not going to lose sleep over it.

But... it's a video of her, not of you. Is she going to lose sleep over it if in five years she goes on YouTube and discovers someone has cloned and monetized the video, and a bunch of creeps have commented on it?
> It takes a lifetime of respect to earn a seat on the Supreme Court bench.

No, it really doesn't. It takes backing from powerful politicians and/or lobbyists. Respect doesn't enter into it.

The problem is that your videos are unlisted, so Google isn't making enough money from them.

If you posted them publicly so Google could properly monetize them, they'd be "Featured videos of the month!" in a pedo group.
Consider that "softcore" porn doesn't exist just because of restrictions, it also serves a market for a certain set of tastes.

I don't think you can safely assert that people know that they "want it to be public". The last decade or so has demonstrated pretty adequately that people's brains have a lot of trouble with what "public-to-the-internet" means.
Why would you assume that semi-soft-core material appeals only to people who can't find actual (presumably hardcore) pornography?
This is a classic case of the technology taking precedence over the functionality. Samsung's TV division has invested billions in developing flexible displays, thinking that this would be the future. Once the technology got to the point where it was actually feasible, THEN they started thinking about how they could market it.

Good product design starts by asking what the problem is and then building the solution. Samsung started with a technology and then tried to figure out how to sell it. The result is the gimmick you see here which, like all of the tablet-phone combos that came before it, does nothing particularly well and costs more than two solutions designed specifically for each use case (iPhone: 1000. iPad Mini: 400). When will people learn to stop jamming toasters and vacuums together?

Polyculture also mixes during the season. A field of onions and carrots as they discourage each other's pests. Or interspersing some height for a harvestable canopy. Or an orchard where chickens are under the trees, picking up grubs and fertilising. (Don't know if that works in practice, take as a for instance). Some of these were just the standard old way of doing farming. Not so amenable to the largest scale, but if less scale is what's required to keep a working planet...

You're probably right about organic right now, but before the recession, all the UK supermarkets were going crazy over organic throughout the 00s. Organic versions of most things became available and prices fell to a point where some were only 10% or 20% more. The trend was clear enough, but stopped dead by 2008.

Also they will not involve humans because it removes their ability to blame the system. If a human employee fails to correctly flag something (which is likely given the sheer volume of incoming content to review) and it slips through, YouTube could potentially be held liable for its effects (whatever they may be). Whereas if the system misses something it's easier to pass it off as just a bug that needs fixing or an obscure edge case that wasn't handled.
I think you could argue that the horrors of this last century have been crueler than all the others simply because there were so many more humans to thrust them upon. I'm not convinced that it had a higher horror per capita, though.

Any demonstrated success of a startup signals to partners, investors, customers and employees that the future is bright and these parties adjust their actions (often to the benefit of the startup). Unicorn status is just one such signal(abient a very powerful one).

It's much much easier to hire good engineers at a lower payrate when the signaling is good because they actual believe the paper equity they get is actually worth something down the road.

In the same vein, positive signals and the good press that comes with it helps you win business. In our case (no where near a unicorn), but we were featured in a local paper. That paper was seen by the CEO of a company we were in negotiations with and were stuck down on a lot of DD work. They wanted all these assurances we would still provide services and won't just take the money and go bankrupt a year later etc etc.

CEO saw us described as the "next big thing in X" and intervened. He told us later he "knew" we were going to be huge and wanted to lock us in early as a partner. Contract was signed less than a week later.

Unicorn status is largely a vanity metric, but it's also a power signal that if used correctly, gives a lot of benefits to the startup.
Thought this would be able Elsagate videos. That's another problem that needs fixing - badly.
Blame it on police and military fetishization. At the end of the day, if you resist authority trying to take your shit illegally, it will come to blows. If you choose to defend yourself against them, you are now very much on the wrong side of the law.

It has to be less illegal to defend yourself from authority if you feel you're in danger.

If I understand this correctly the videos in question are family videos uploaded and monetized by parents, and the issue is that perverts are commenting on them, right?

Invariably a small percentage of people are going to suck, it's the way of the world, what is YouTube or anyone to do about it? Are they now responsible for everyone who watches a publicly available video?

This brand of hysteria is the product of alarmism, and sensationalism regarding everything social media, it's gotten ridiculous when we blame theses platforms for all of humanity's failings and newspapers are advocating for censorship.

> Photos on Mac and iOS make sharing family videos dead simple

That’s categorically false. Every iCloud user has their own photo library and you cannot create a collaborative one. So all my photos are in mine, all my wife’s are in hers, and we’ve resorted to uploading to a a joint (also paid) Google photos account for sharing with each other and family.

Aren't Samsung's long line of successful phablets (and the influence they've had on other flagship phones) a stark disproof of your claims about “all previous tablet-phone combos”. Clearly, the utility the market finds in them differs from the utility you find in them.

Well I can see the number of views. They aren't high. The one that got ~700 views was probably because the title said something about "upside down on monkey bars," but she was wearing jeans, so I don't care. I doubt anyone was gratified.

Pretty sure none of the videos I have posted have a billion views.

And a creep in real life can easily follow you home.
Let's be clear here, many if not most of these videos are being posted by the kids themselves. Everyone wants to be the next youtube star. There are enough gymnastics youtube stars that other kids try to emulate them.
My wife and I have lots of photos and videos of our kids on the Internet. Not on YouTube, but on Facebook and Instagram yes.

I think most of them, only our "friends" can see them. But social media friends includes some random person I sat with once on a plane 5+ years ago and have never spoken to since, and people my wife used to play Farmville with, and someone one of us went to high school with and haven't spoken to in twenty years, and so on.

Is it possible that some of these people who see photos/videos of our kids are getting some sort of creepy pleasure out of it? Probably not, but you never know.

But, if they are, should I care? I mean, if one of our kids walks down the street, and some creep glances at them briefly and gets some sick pleasure out of it, but leaves it all in their head – there is no way we could ever know, and as disturbing as it is to think about, it isn't harming anyone anyway.

Now, if they take it out of their heads, and start acting on it – harassment, stalking, grooming, abduction, etc. – very different story. But, that's pretty unlikely to actually happen. And most random people on the Internet are far away physically, and so little risk of being able to do anything like that, at least in non-virtual forms. The main protection against the virtual forms of those things, is really monitoring of children's Internet usage, and educating them–I doubt the availability of photos/videos makes much difference.

I strongly agree that the serious issue here is Youtube's recommendation system. There is nothing inherently wrong with recommendation systems. There is a problem when they are optimized for maximum view time with a disregard to content. Youtube's flaws are magnified further because users are being paid by Google for the content they create, rewarding them to make even more videos the recommendation engine likes.

Here is another timely example brought to you by Youtube also published today:

> In all of the utopias we studied -- from Plato's Republic through Thomas More's Utopia and including Marx's Communist Manifesto

Strange this is mentioned as the communist manifesto contains a whole chapter criticizing Utopias.

Also - establishment intellectuals from Hegel to Fukuyama to Pinker talk about how we are in Utopia now, at the end of history with capitalism and liberalism triumphant.

Marx said not only was capitalism self-destructive, with crises (like the 2008 government bank/insurance/etc. bailout), but that socialism would be self-destructive too. Hard to call someone postulating the next system will self-destruct is utopian.

Also Marx replied to socialists wanting utopian plans from him by replying he was not August Comte, and he did not want to "write recipes for the cookshops of the future".

Marx was about as unutopian as you can be, other than he thought the progress of production and technology over the millennia would continue, with effects on relations of production. Something you read on HN regularly.
Overpopulation. Too many people, not enough resources to support them. 600m Indians without proper access to water.

I use multiapp all the time on my current phone. I love it. Android makes it easy to move in and out of multiapp mode, swiping the separator when you want to go back to full screen. Many android apps already support this feature.

This is the same thing, except with a larger screen & different panel arrangement.

So is the girl in this video .. deciding to make this herself? Like she saw other examples of this, with adults, and then decided to do this as a child, was somehow a good idea? In that linked video the guy reacting points out the terrible Tinder joke. So therefore, she's aware to some extend how fucked up this is right? ...

I realize some of these kids make tons from ads on these videos .. but at some point ... that's just bad parenting. Like what are you teaching your child?

Scott Foster is the worst referee for more than a decade. Even in 2007 when the absurd number of phonecalls with Donaghy came out and most players protested on his absurd calling nothing happened. The NBA really needs those refs to fix games for the most important markets (LA, NY, Chicago).
