LBRY was commenced a while back -- back when having your own coin was a cool thing to do. LBRY also uses non-standard transactions to purchase and build their URL tree. (LBRY allows you to acquire a named channel to host your content, similar to Youtube.)

In addition, Bitcoin at the time was plagued with performance concerns and high fees. If your vision is to serve and support content to millions per day, you want freedom to address the performance needs of the system.

I do think you could build a similar system on bitcoin; your wallet server could build the necessary indexes. You would need to do some interesting P2SH work to construct the channel hierarchy.
It's true that a lot of people go literally insane when they think about pedofilia. Hate to break it to you guys but just like there exist plebty of straight males who aren't rapists, many of the people with attraction to minors never act on them.

While many of these youtube comments are toxic and/or also constitute harrasment (which I don't condone and nor does the law), there are plenty of examples of legitimatly harmless expression (fanfiction, forum discussions and articles about attraction to minors and how to deal with it, etc), that are the subject of unimaginable amounts of hate and censorship online, where said hate and censorship is being conducted essentially on the basis of sexual orientation. Some companies (notably medium and reddit) are protective of this speech, while others (notably youtube/google) are not.
You mean like a containerized version of *tube people accessed as a service run for them, or encouraging people to actively host and maintain their own?

Maybe an ideal service would offer both— paid private and shareable containerized hosting and an open-source or free-download host-your-own option.

I would upvote this by 1000 if I could. I lived in the bay area for 2 years, and one way streets + right on red is a recipe for disaster for pedestrians because drivers will never look to their right.

Interestingly, people in SF rarely jaywalk, and I wonder if it's related to this.
Lines like this tell me the author has no idea how advertising works these days "The videos are also being monetised by YouTube, including pre-roll adverts from Alfa Romeo, Fiat, Fortnite, Grammarly, L’Oreal, Maybelline, Metro: Exodus, Peloton and SingleMuslims.com."

These companies don't choose to advertise on these videos specifically. Youtube is just placing the ads there based upon the viewer etc. I imagine there are some exceptions for high profile youtubers and companies that pay directly to display their ads prior to their videos, but the accounts in question don't likely fall into that category.
The problem with that is YouTube's awful history of and approach to false positives.

People would be a lot more willing to accept blanket and risky experiments to solve these problems if there was a viable and reliable reconciliatory/redemptive path for when those systems get it wrong.

For better or worse, YouTube hasn't focused on scaling that part of their system, so there will be apprehension and scepticism with any approach they take.

>Justice Thomas agreed with the result in the case, Timbs v. Indiana, No. 17-1091, but said he would have gotten to the same place by a different route. While the majority relied on the due process clause of the 14th Amendment, Justice Thomas said he would have ruled “the right to be free from excessive fines is one of the ‘privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States’ protected by the 14th Amendment.”

I was going to comment that the real biggest legal problem with civil forfeiture is how it circumvents due process, but it sounds like that was the actual ruling given by the supreme court. I think the title of the article disagrees with the last paragraph. It was actually Justice Thomas who wanted to rule that it constituted excessive punishment, while the rest of the court ruled that it constituted a breach of due process.

> Do you personally know people that have been helped long-term by antidepressants?

Yes, several, including myself.

As for the actual question:

> My therapist [...]. Would you recommend anything else I could try before that?

Nothing against your therapist, but maybe get a second opinion from a medical professional specialized in this sort of thing, i.e., a psychiatrist. As opposed (or at least in addition) to, you know, random people on the Internet.
What's the point of this? If you already have iCloud (or any other service like Dropbox), why not just symlink your dotfiles from your Dropbox folder to their appropriate local directories? Then, sync is handled for you by your backup service and it's the same result.
ok so what - I read a 300 page book on the meaning of food to women in early Christianity.. it was deep, and moving. The impacts of Christianity in Europe are beyond simple anecdotes. I am seriously tired of religion haters cherry-picking examples while huge societal shifts hide in plain site. e.g. literacy

I'll give you the benefit of a doubt that you are arguing the general case, but I'm talking about this case specifically. If all you need to do to access the data is to just browse to a specific address, it matters not whether you need to put http or https in front of that address. No need to set up any eavesdropping devices en route. Just point your browser to the address and download the data. Transport security will not protect your data if you have no access control.
I don't have a direct answer to your question, but it piqued my curiosity so I did a quick search. I found this informative little post:

> The code is GPLed[1]. It sounds like there were other people willing to contribute. The code goes on, without him.

That's not how it works - other people are free to fork the code, but the trademark is owned by the original author.

This is one of the reasons why open source foundations exist - they hold the trademark and decide on how it can be used. For instance, CNCF or Apache Foundation holds the trademark for its member projects - you can't call your Prometheus fork "Prometheus" and use their logo etc.

What kind of content creators do you imagine needing this?

Real talk, nobody at YouTube is editing your uploaded videos.

Since you need to own a website to publish, can't you just put a bittorrent magnet link on there? Or IPFS or other flavor-of-the-month.

I'm struggling to imagine your blockchain not being largely composed of pirated movies, child porn, and Nazis. Everyone else is served well-enough by easier alternatives.
I think you're limiting the use to "pirated app stores" yourself. There are other apps on those app stores, ones that Apple wouldn't approve, but are still useful.

Taking away the question of whether Apple has the right to determine what is moral or ethical (I argue that they don't), I agree with the op in that the primary reason is to maintain the walled garden.
How about disabling comments, proactively deleting illegal content and not helping people find more non-illegal but potentially exploitative content?

I feel like you have missed the point. YouTube is actively helping people find this content and making money off of it.
The ability to repost content without payment required is already true of every existing digital media distribution system. We do not claim to improve this situation.

LBRY does not provide IP enforcement. The primary reasons people pay for content when they could get all content for free are: 1) their personal morality and 2) fear of legal repercussions

The same will be true on LBRY.
Right, so nothing stops you from altering the search results at will, which is the most critical part of the system in my opinion.

Why bother with a blockchain then? Instead of letting content creators be tipped in bitcoins or something, is there any reason other than getting to be the issuer of the coin?

Or will some future development make search decentralized?
Because, despite what people say, the countries of the EU are distinct countries with their own legal systems.
Yeah absolutely, that sounds completely fine to me.
Not much need to hypothesize, it's sourced to the point Wikipedia has an article on it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Active_measures

Wikipedia does not explicitly call out moral warfare, but if you keep Googling on that term you can find a lot of chatter about it, of various levels of veracity. It's only a baby step beyond what is very firmly established; I don't find it hard to believe.
Totally agree. And the clearest sign of that is that the author is the one who cursed first.
I believe there's either a trigger somewhere in Amazon's or Google's PR to post the classic 'but what about ur phone' whenever someone is pushing back against IOT recording devices or we've become so brainwashed that we do their job without even realizing it. I don't know which of the two is sadder.
What you say about the comments is clearly not the case, as anyone can see by looking at the thread.

I'm not sure what you mean by detaching the thread.
Parents Block Sick Child from Using Tele-Presence Robot
In my opinion this hypothesis is totally wrong because the accuracy of information is the problem and not the quantity of it.

We can handle quantity, now we need to handle error correction and build better access permissions too.
No, there's no vulnerability in the sandbox. What is happening is that people are grabbing copies of an app, adding code to it (usually, by adding a new dynamic library and forcing the main binary to load it), and then distributing the modified app outside of the App Store. Any crashes in the modified app will still be reported to the original app developer, since aside from the small (or maybe not so small?) tweaks that were made the app functions like it normally would.
Some of these comments here are disgusting. I thought HN would be better than this.

YouTube could start requiring validation for uploaders before they’re monitized or allow comments. Require a credit card on file or something. That’d likely help cut down on spam too.
My partner sometimes has a website which breaks, especially when she's shopping online. Which you could consider a Good Thing. For me, the website which breaks is AliExpress. Specifically, the pictures don't load. Quad9 by default also blocks porn websites. For me, that's intentional, but YMMV.

My experience with WireGuard has been fantastic. The configuration is straightforward (way less complex than OpenVPN), wg-quick(8) is ace, the macOS and Android UIs work very well. The performance is great (both throughput and latency, even of the userspace ports). You only need very minimal, basic knowledge about networking and public key cryptography.

I got some minor complaints. For example the VPN is gone on Android when the app gets updated, and there's no official Windows client (though I don't use Windows right now). The EdgeOS port is sometimes out-of-date but its made by a 3rd party. And, compared to ZeroTier (where I was coming from) I miss out on a nice website configuration, but I get back a CLI one.

Oh, the elusive myhological doughnut cat. Finally confirmed!
Actually the buttered cat hypothesis has been proven with much less exotic cat shapes. I recall seeing a paper showing that a cat with dimension n=1 and zero rotational inertia would spontaneously begin spinning as a result of the presence of a "butter field." Of course the experimenters ran out of point cats and had to go to the store to get more syrup shortly after completing the experiment, so it has been rather difficult to replicate. However the authors assured readers they would attempt replication at the next breakfast fundraiser for the department.
Companies do not get to play that card in their defence.

They know full well they are scatter gunning and that some small percentage of their ads will end up next to/in front of awful content. They know this - they've seen it happen time and time again. They continue to do it because it's cheaper to do so and occasionally take some PR flack and then blame Youtube.

Ultimately - your ad, your problem. If you value your brand so poorly that you don't care where you advertise, this is what happens.
First, there is, in point of fact, a network of pedophiles on YouTube as demonstrated by the article. Your comment is twisting it into "Omg pedophiles everywhere!" hyperbole for what reason?

The seriousness of even a single case of pedophilia or child exploitation cannot be overstated. Not only is it ethical and moral to take it very seriously, but it's also the logical action because children are our future and if they are healthy and happy then the human race is healthy and happy.

There is no fixing the problem, but we can mitigate it. The first step would be, apparently, to educate the public because comments like yours still exist which is deeply concerning. The second step is up for discussion of course, but perhaps it would be useful to ban children under the age of N from appearing in videos for more than T amount of time or perhaps ban altogether.
If said kids can't avoid peeing in the pool they shouldn't be in the pool or should be wearing diapers to avoid pissing all over fellow patrons.

The restrooms are rarely convenient in big box stores or the mall they are often a fair hike away but you don't see little Johnny hiking up his leg to pee on his fellow shoppers.

Actually, this is a completely incorrect statement in the article. If you follow the link they show in the article, it brings you to an article about a survey that TravelZoo did and the question is: "Have you ever taken a tinkle in the ocean or a pool?" The OCEAN or the pool. This completely changes the question and so the 58% regarding 'peeing in a pool' is wrong (it could easily be that 99% of those people peed in the ocean and not a pool, which is very different). Plus it shows that 64% of Americans said "yes" to that question, so the American number is higher. This is what happens when articles just haphazardly brush over actual statistics and completely distort their meaning...

Cyclists in a bike lane in Oregon always have right of way, meaning right-turning cars must yield to approaching bikes before turning, with one GIANT caveat. Judicial rulings have come down stating that the bike lane does not continue into an intersection since there is no paint delineating the bike lane. The one part of the road where a cyclist is most vulnerable to getting hit is also the one stretch where a cyclist has no legal protection. It's madness.
I took syn0byte to be asking for an example of an init system that systemd is better than. I can't really see any other interpretation of their comment.

This is what everyone calls it in the context of Linux init systems. You may not like that particular piece of terminology, but please don't give me a hard time for following the standard usage.
The alternative is to build up a reputation, so when a new $studio film comes out, people are excited about it because $studio has a history of making good films. I think Pixar is/was a good example of this.
Not just trucks; cars, too. Crash safety standards have made them impossible to see out of. I have a small hatchback from 2000 that you can see out of amazingly well, compared to my wife's 2008 4 door hatchback which is harder to see out of. Higher tailgate, higher rear 3/4. Then I bought a 2016 hatchback which was harder, still to see out of. Now we have a 2018 sedan that's virtually impossible to see out of with the rear 3/4. Mirrors are great in traffic, but it's much more difficult to be confident that you're not about to run something over in a parking lot. This is why reverse cameras are mandatory - you can't see out of cars anymore.
I'm curious because I thought the main draw of CL was that it was easy as heck to roll your own library support.
Who says that antirez can be hired "that cheaply"? Assuming he also owns equity of RedisLabs, anything short of a good exit might not be worth the oportunity cost for him.

Of course that is baseless speculation, but so is assuming that Redis could be continued to be maintained "by just hiring antirez".
Oh, the writer's comments sound spot-on to me. The idea is to provoke a reaction from these companies against YouTube. If your article provokes a reaction, it's a win for the author.

I'm using Pi-Hole in a lxc-container on a Omnia Turris router, blokada for my Android phone with uBlock Origin, Firefox with uBlock Origin on every computer I own and the router encrypts all traffic with WireGuard to several different endpoints for the whole network. Having a bit too slow uplink to connect to the internal network from outside.

It starts to be really easy to setup all of this so that it just works.
That's exactly how I have KeePass configured on Windows 10. I've set my keyfile (additional entropy for the encrypted password DB, combined with master password) access to only allow the Admin account. Then, I set keepass.exe to always run as Admin, which of course prompts the UAC whenever it is launched.

This actually accomplishes a few things:

* The keyfile is safe from processes launched using the standard user account (i.e. non-elevated). Malware accidentally launched by 'me' can't read it.

* Keepass.exe is running in the admin process space, which protects its memory from processes running in non-elevated space.

* Launching admin-space Keepass, and seeing the UAC prompt, Microsoft includes information about how the exe is signed -- which Keepass is -- that allows me to verify every time that I'm not launching a bogus keepass.exe.

* The password database file is still in user-land, so it can be synced with standard cloud sync tools. It is worthless without the keyfile though, even if my master pass ever slipped.

Here is the ruling in full if anyone is interested.
As disgusting as the thoughts and feelings might be, we shouldn't be trying to regulate what people think and feel inside their own heads. That's a level of tyranny that would be a living hell. It's also corrosive to society to create a situation where everyone is paranoid about the "other" hiding in plain sight among us. This paranoia over internal mental states is precisely the kind of oppression which was directed against Jewish people and against homosexuals in the past. This is precisely what was called out in the "Have you no Decency?" moment where McCarthy's fall started.

In 2019, outrage mongering should automatically trigger skepticism -- especially if the subject matter is extra lurid and stigmatizing.
Yea and just to be clear, that’s the choice I make.

However, there are situations where it’s not possible, because doing the “correct thing” would be more dangerous. Hard to illustrate with words, but there are some busy roads on my commute where the bike lane merges with the full lane, and then becomes a bike lane again after a busy intersection. The problem is, if you do the “correct” thing, rather than hugging the shoulder, you become exposed to cars cutting across lanes, at high speeds, with you essentially in their blind spot.

It’s a balance - you want to be predicable and do the correct thing as much as possible, but sometimes it’s just not safe.
Yes! Except usually the bug reporting is automatic, and nobody bothers to disable this behavior when modifying the apps.
Some on-chip gyros/accelerometers can also work as microphones – and may be even harder to separate those via an external cut-off switch.
>>Even if nobody urinated in the pool, the sweat people produce would still be able to cause it.
