>I'm sure these videos do attract some weirdos in the comments, and in the next paragraph Youtube says that they want to moderate that activity, but what else do you do here? Ban kids uploading a video of their innocent pool party because some creeps might enjoy it? What about topless babies?

What about the rights of the children? Maybe they should have the right to wait and decide, upon adulthood, whether they want to share these videos rather than have their parents blithely allow weirdos to leer at and comment on them.
Usually there are mailing lists you can sign up for, but they can be spammy. Organizations I have reviewed have a vulnerability scans happen every month. I think it's a best effort kinda thing unless you have a dedicated security team monitoring daily.
The juicy bugs will usually make their way into your front view like ShellShock, Heartbleed, Spectre, drupalgeddon etc. I'd say just by the willingness to ask this question and stay on top of updates you should be fine.

New vulnerabilities are discovered everyday and it doesn't even include the ones that are never publicly disclosed.
Have you ever used a product recommended thinking it's going to work a certain way and it works completely differently and it was not nearly as intuitive or helpful as you thought? Take those experiences and apply them to your own version of the product. See where it goes. Talk to people in various niche sectors: Librarians, movie ticketing, museums, etc. whatever. Ask them if the software they use has problems that are not being fixed or if they software has changed over the last 10-20 years. Most likely there is and nobody has taken the time to figure out how compete in that area and then like start from square one and build something good/modern/fast to use for the folks that need it.

I'm kind of talking out of my ass because I've never built a business but I've seen some terrible software that people are forced to use and been in many company-specific or industry-specific situations so I have buttloads of ideas. Most of my ideas come from hearing those pain-points or having my own pain points and searching for the right software and not being able to find it (or not finding what I need because I don't know the right way to look for it, which is another thing that should be a thing which is like, how do you figure out what kind of product you actually need?)
>That’s a very religious view. Humans are not necessarily flawed

Historically they have been. At least they're not up to our own standards.

We can kill, lie, cheat, brutalize, exploit, each other, and we do so daily in the billions.

We might not be total bastards, but we're no perfectly fine people either.
I guess you must be talking about the JURI committee of the European parliament. Hell of a lot more MEPs in EP. Anyway, this topic isn't about EP really as this statement relates to an EU Council vote, i.e. involving member state goverments. Whole nuther organ.
"Ban kids uploading a video of their innocent pool party because some creeps might enjoy it?"

Given everything else YouTube already does, I seriously, no sarcasm, don't see this as a particularly problematic solution. As ceejayoz pointed out, there's some thorny consent issues involved here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19209766 (ceejayoz' point isn't much larger than my summary of it, but I wanted to give credit. I think it's a good point.)

Sometimes scale brings things like this. I have to admit giving a smaller, specialty service a niche to exist in doesn't exactly bother me, either.
Thomas Sowell's book The Search for Cosmic Justice talks about this sort of thing in the context of social justice. However well intended, trying to do the impossible can produce atrocities.
The issue isn't so much the content of the videos; for the most part, they could be altogether innocent and within the guidelines that YouTube, and the law, requires. The issue is the community that has developed around them.

> Ban kids uploading a video of their innocent pool party because some creeps might enjoy it? What about topless babies?

The children are unable to agree to the terms and conditions set forth by YouTube, and sadly, there is a possibility that their parent or guardian is aware of the exploitative nature of the community.

So, perhaps yes?
> Isn't React sort-of magic to begin with?

That's true, especially JSX caused an uproar in the beginning as "too much magic", and then was gradually accepted as a vast improvement to previous/other ways of templating.

> Don't hooks radically reduce the amount of libraries you need to know?

I'm really hoping so! If they do indeed "serve to make things simpler and more readable", it would be a net positive, regardless of any initial misgivings and possible effort to migrate.
> According to Moorlach, the lanes would be kept separate from other lanes, where the speed limit would remain 65 mph.

I don't know about CA-99, but I-5 is definitely 70 MPH for stretches.

EDIT: looks like both are 70 MPH at various points: http://www.dot.ca.gov/hq/roadinfo/70mph.htm
> According to the bill, money for construction of two new lanes on each side of I-5 and CA-99 would be drawn from California's Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund.

Wait, what?

> The bill is being pitched as a way to cut idling in traffic and therefore reduce greenhouse gases

This looks like next level reality distortion field to me. Increasing speed limits cannot possibly decrease greenhouse gases, nor can adding lanes (which increases capacity and therefore use.) The most optimal speed for reducing greenhouse gasses appears to be 40-60mph, so any discussion of speeds outside that range is therefore not about lowest GHG emissions.

Having high-speed lanes seems OK to me, but drawing that effort out of funds tagged for GHG-reduction seems like a court challenge waiting to happen, and is morally unacceptable anyhow.
Considering a 512gb iPhone XS Max is $1450 I guess it's hard to call it any more overpriced than an iPhone. But both are too over-priced for me.
Ask HN: Why/How Did We Evolve to Eat and Breathe Through the Same Passageway?
Which is still no good, because nobody can tell which are those two times when it's right by looking at it.
I live in the Inland Northwest, and I assure you what you mention is true. We have a forest, but generally the ground is brown and dry in summer, and the winters are long and hard. The Cascades are huge, and create an extensive rain shadow.

Seattle sits right next to the only temperate rainforest in the world, though. The sheer amount of plant life there is something to behold, and it doesn't get cold there all that long.
Yes actually. The courts aren’t there to set law, that is for the legislature. Also by limiting their ruling to the narrowest ruling they can, they keep decisions as local as possible. Courts handle exceptional circumstances, and it’s important they not rule too broadly, else there can be huge overarching unintended side effects of their ruling.

The parallel in programming would be some god class that handles every exception, vs handling exceptions as close to the exception as possible. Generally global exception handling is a bad idea, you want to handle exceptions as close to the context as possible since that is where the most pertinent information in the system lives, and also has the least impact on the rest of the system if the exception can be resolved at a local level.
Fortunately with super social technology we can succeed where all past attempts have failed.
It's a welcome check on the Executive and Legislative branches.

Anyone can become President, and anyone can become a lawmaker.

It takes a lifetime of respect to earn a seat on the Supreme Court bench.
Such a racist post. For a story from canada, they found a stock picture from India. Why do they relate a negative story with brown people?
> it's basically family videos of young girls, the same kind of videos my own sisters would shoot with our dad's camcorder.

Your family camcorder videos probably weren't made available for checkout at the public library, filed under "young girls doing gymnastics" in the library's card catalog. If they were, I imagine your family and many members of the public would be creeped out or upset.

> but what else do you do here?

Require (or maybe automatically force, if implemented well) those videos to be set to Visiblity: Unlisted. I don't think anyone would be upset with sharing these links with family.
It changed the meaning of a paragraph I tested it with.
I’ve been through four keyboard failures, and my experience has been that the keys over the parts of the computer that get hot are more likely to fail. I suspect it takes (or at least is more likely with) a combination of heat and contaminates, which might be less likely on the 12”.
It's more complicated than that. What a company actually trades for in the open market is down to investors opinions and may be different from 'what the company is worth', which is also a little in the eye of the beholder.

However after the C the VCs may be able to report a 10x return to their investors.
Fixed! Thanks, I'll patch this upstream soon enough :)

I actually had the provision to omit the email in these requests [1], but I forgot to unset the email before responding.

The specific values are irrelevant, for the hypothesis to be true, it has to be true for all cases.

Let's take another example:

A planet somewhere in the milky way galaxy is populated equally by Red, Blue and Green Octopodes. They are biased differently in three dimensions:

Red (3, 2, -2)
Blue (0, 3, 4)
Green (23, -56, 128)

The goal is to minimize bias. The hypothesis says bias in a group will be minimized by giving each color group an equal share in the group. However, at a first glance, we can immediately see that in order to minimize bias, we must reduce the number of Green Octopodes in the group. The hypothesis is wrong, because it doesn't generalize.

Note, I'm not making an argument against diversity. The average Green Octopode may hold extremist views, but they shouldn't be excluded from a group merely to reduce bias. Just like humans, Green Octopodes should be treated as the individuals that they are, not as a weight in a multivariate optimization problem.

> It is thanks to racist attitudes like this that I changed my name from an Indian one to an American-sounding one. And whaddaya know, my callbacks shot way up.

Ah, brings tears to my eyes :)

It's amazing how true this is (applies to most minority groups). With my native name, a lot of companies don't even seem interested in sparing a second look.

With the Americanized version, I've had no problems at all landing interviews (and getting hired!).
Let me clarify. GMass doesn't send any email, but we do have to transmit the email to someone that does send it, hence the bandwidth costs.
The moments I am most afraid when driving are the times where I am on a multi-lane highway in the left set of lanes and the right set of lanes are creeping along at 5 to 10mph trying to exit the highway on an off-ramp while traffic in my current and other lanes are still going 60 to 70mph.
Samsung’s New S10 and Galaxy Fold Do Some Awesomely Strange Things with Screens
I'm glad it wasn't just me being sick and my mind muddled that was making me raise an eyebrow as I was reading his description.
Actually instilling morals and enforcing boundaries as a parent is an unpopular opinion these days.
As an Indian, I completely agree. I don't consider anyone with Infosys, CTS, Wipro, etc on their resume. If they worked at startups in India, I'll consider them. I'm usually very skeptical of the technologies and skills they list on their resume. Most of them don't write any code and just do project management. They try to bullshit their way to full-time jobs to escape from the company that's holding them hostage in the US.
This is why if we listened to people like you we would still be riding horses and buggies. Look at Germany are they inevitably crashing constantly at 100MPH or has the Autobahn maybe to some small extent has contributed to German cars being some of the most efficient and desirable cars in the world and pushed the envelope on what is engineeringly possible.
From the article:
> Technology can enhance discussion. Nested comments do, for example. But I'd rather use a site with primitive features and smart, nice users than more advanced one whose users were idiots or trolls.

I'd agree and say I don't think reddit has the quality of discussion in posts or comments that it used to.
No it's not all client side. Just the interaction with the UI is client-side. All the heavy lifting is server-side.
Looks like a great force-multiplier tool to assist the fake product review business!
That is why tech journalism is very important!
> you might want to re-evaluate yourself.

To his credit, that is exactly what he did, and the result of that evaluation is visible right here; he decided that foss world was not for him.
It often doesn’t make sense to have one generation investing their money and paying taxes on the gains, while another is paying interest to a bank.

If they’re going to get excess earnings one day as an inheritance, it may make sense to give while alive. Especially if inheritance taxes may be involved (and who knows what rate they may be in 30 years).

Unless that kind of leverage makes sense, and sometimes it does.
I'm curious now what would happen if you trained a model on 50% cat pics and 50% human pics
I actually think it might be technical naivety? Eg families know that you can share videos on YouTube, so they want to share their family videos to other friends and family, and don't understand permission settings and other such intricacies.

Like most people here likely do, I run tech support for my entire extended family, and a very very common theme is trying to share photos/video with family and friends.

Apple locks down iCloud so it's only easy to share with other iDevice users, and YouTube makes it REALLY easy to initially upload a video (drag onto this box, or just share from your phone/tablet video browser) but then doesn't clearly explain the different options in the processing screen, etc etc.

They also don't understand the repurcussions. They're not on reddit reading about Elsagate, they're not aware of the deep seedy underbelly of the Interwebs outside of "people buy drugs on the darknet" because they saw it on the 7:30 Report. They think the Internet is Facebook, Google, YouTube, and Amazon.

It's extremely easy for technically proficient people to underestimate how complicated and overwhelming these "simple" (for us) tasks can be to non-techies.
I think the examples to watch are the many good movies that were not profitable and a decade later are "cult movies".

Perhaps not, but React hooks in my opinion aren't any more magical than the other internals of React that allow you to use a function style to implement component trees that change over time.

Honestly, if this is even vaguely usable, it's going to replace my phone and my tablet, simply by reducing the screen size for both while still having some modern hardware behind it. I find 5" phones to be just slightly too large to comfortably use one-handed (and forget about the larger flagship phones that come out these days). I at least have some faith that I'll be able to reach across the 4.6" screen, although who knows how annoying the large vertical bezels will be.

The tablet side is actually more exciting to me, completely independent of the folding feature. I still don't have a good replacement for a Nexus 7, and this looks like the first tablet that's come out since 2013 that's both close to it in size and on par or better in terms of hardware. The N7 was basically the perfect form factor for my hands, and since I finally gave up on it I've been using an 8.4" tablet that's just narrow enough to hold in one hand but more than uncomfortable enough that I still complain about it years later. Even if the Fold is unusable as a phone, I might spring for one anyway as a pure tablet replacement. If it's also comfortable enough to carry and use as a phone, that's just gravy.
Deploy InfluxDB and Grafana on Kubernetes to Collect Twitter Stats
For one thing, facilitating spam is some distance further down on the benefits to harms scale than facilitating Facebook or Google. Google, especially, has created a enormous amount of value, and continues to do so^; spam, not so much.

^Which isn't to say that it's perfect, of course. Or even necessarily a net good, although my personal belief in the case of Google is that it still is.
Good!

I blast between LA and SF on a regular basis with my motorcycle. The bike and tires are good for cruising at 160 mph, but with all the trucks in an elephant race, I'm lucky to average 80 mph.

I'd pay a small ransom in tolls to drive on a road with no trucks and no speed limit.
>YouTube only seems to do something when it's a controversy and Ad dollars are on the line

"Humans respond to incentives" isn't really surprising IMO.
Well then, how does the EU (whose central authority is extremely limited in scope compared to the US Federal Government, and whose member states are still meaningfully sovereign separate countries) manage to thrive so well?

Why couldn't a similar system work well in the US?
At the current $2k pricing it would certainly be an upgrade, not a lateral replacement.
Cooperate with the authorities to find and investigate people who post creepy comments? You already can't post bomb threats online without getting an investigation.

If they used a picture with all white people, would someone be accusing them of not being representative enough?

Edit: Snark aside, in this case they probably just picked a random image off of Getty Images. As HN commenting guidelines say: "Assume good faith."
The autobahn is safer because the drivers have better training. If we are not willing to train drivers just as well or better then we might want to stick with the train, which the Germans also have. While we're at it we can ask them how they managed to actually follow through and finish building it.
It has in general, but not lately.

Worth mentioning PayMoneyWubby and his quest to find and show weird sh*t. It's plain crazy what YouTube hosts and some people barely know about.

Does this apply to businesses that aren't in serious debt, and don't have investors waiting for growth-dependent returns? I'd be surprised if my local baker considered stability to be failure, or a precursor to closing down.

If you don’t have support@ as an email address that actually reads the inbound messages you’re doing it wrong. Ditto for billing@, legal@, dmca@, and shibboleet@ (unpublished of course).
Perhaps Germay's safety record has nothing to do with their speed limits, or rather, perhaps any detriment to safety caused by higher/unlimited speed limits is offset by

The requirements in the US for getting a license are incredibly low in some jurisdictions.

All of those can be very useful traits. Evolution, promotes using miliple strategies.

Now, you can talk about spherical humans in a vacuum, but reality is more complex than that.
I upload unlisted videos to share with family. I batch and upload them on a monthly basis. Never had an issue with Youtube and my family videos. Last month one video was my daughter fully clothed in the bathroom dumping a cup of water on my son in the bathtub and both laughing. You could only see his head and chest. It was 10 seconds long and funny play between young siblings.

It was instantly and automatically flagged, removed and a strike placed against me for going against community guidelines. I had 40 characters to appeal, but it is automated since the response was instantaneous. There are other videos of kids dumping water on each other ... even when both are in the tub. An email asking what guideline I violated to youtube support has gone unanswered.

To me, if Youtube is automatically, instantly flagging my video, there is no reason they cannot automatically flag and remove the videos in Matt Watson's video, especially if they are public and are attracting a wide range of comments.

Don't get me wrong, it's Youtube's pool, so their rules. They can choose the content they want.
But that is the way it works, take the marijuana legalization state laws. Technically, its still against federal law, but the feds have basically agreed not to prosecute growers/distributors/users in those states.

It was actually a giant question when trump came into office whether he would start arresting people working/running the legal pot shops in Colorado/etc.

So, there are a lot of other cases, where statutes are simply not enforced, but haven't been removed due to lack of political will. Sodomy/etc laws are another area, where they remain on the books despite a number of supreme court rulings declaring various aspects unconstitutional. That means its quite possible depending on where you live frequently performed acts, not explicitly allowed by the supreme court are actually illegal.

4) do the two screens wear uniformly?

5) what effect does putting a hinge in the center of the device have on the thermal capacity of the unit (thermal capacity is almost more important for performace than ram on a modern mobile computer architectures)

6) what are the long term ramifications of splitting the battery cell into two halves. It must be less capacity due to the extra packaging and safety overhead.

I could go on.

It’s certainly not clear to me that having a mode which trades XY for Z is a win.

But it’s an interesting experiment. It will be entertaining to watch.
Yeah that or just label them as beta to set expectations. Unfortunately, Google has ruined the term beta for users. Maybe put them in a folder called “Prerelease”.
