Google doesn't need YouTube to exist in its current form to have a large viewership. It can just as easily turn YouTube into a controlled TV-like platform where content is primarily created by incumbent professionals with little room for anything else. They'll still get incredible viewership. That's where the mainstream lives after all. Smaller content creators aren't particularly profitable or popular, so why bother if all they do is invite the press and people like you to slap them around for having them. I'd say it's already going in that direction.

And from a brand perspective? The linked article in this thread is a global, mainstream news publication burning Google & YouTube's brand by associating them with pedophiles.

Marginally more expensive? Try hundreds of millions a year to employ the thousands of workers to properly vet the 80k+ hours of video content uploaded every single day, with countless more comments. Then get slapped around by the press anyway because those workers aren't paid enough, and they aren't given quite enough mental care because they're still a bit screwed up after watching garbage 8 hours a day, and by the way they shouldn't be watching garbage 8 hours a day because that's awful for a human being to do that, they should do it at a nice 8 hours/week but they should still get paid a lot more because they're doing god's work and market rate wages aren't enough for them.

So what's your plan? Google realizes that hey, they don't need to operate a free global platform for content creators of all sizes at a P&L loss, they can do what everyone else does and make a lot of money, get a lot of mainstream viewership, avoid PR blows like this one...then you get to proclaim victory because youtube.com still exists?

Oh right, if Google stops operating a free global platform for content creators everywhere at a loss, someone else will do it. Like Facebook, which suffers from the exact same issues, is working towards the same AI approach as YouTube, and got slapped by the press after hiring human moderators anyway? Like Amazon, which acquired Twitch and almost immediately applied an AI-based automatic content moderator even more inaccurate and punishing than YouTube's? Like Microsoft, which...uhh what? I'll let you come up with reasons why Microsoft is somehow an appropriate competitor.

I can only describe your comments as wishful thinking. We live in a capitalist democracy, we operate under its rules. You're free to suggest that we as a society choose a different system, but good luck with that. Until that changes, I promise: megacorporations don't blink, they just look away. I think it would be a tremendous loss if one of the most competent members of our society looked away from the project of a free, global video platform for content creators of all sizes, stripes, and beliefs.

Apps opting in to security is an oxymoronic idea

I get the restrictions are severe. I think work should be done to fix that rather than give up and just have everything be massively insecure by default.
Considering the whole ecosystem is a rich tapestry of scammers scamming scammers.... the answer to your question is "yes".
I suspect nonprofits like the Wikimedia Foundation have much greater constraints on billables but perhaps relatively less constraints on engineering and management effort. That probably changes the ROI calculation quite a bit.

And management of such organizations might also have ideological tendencies that further skew the calculation.
Anecdotally, rather often the preferred stimulus category appears to be none of the above, but a catnap.
I can only imagine how it feels to be an 18 year old in 2019, knowing what’s going to happen in your lifetime.

A lot of the social movements of the 60’s were ultimately based on the fact that every young male at that time had a draft number, and so the political struggle was personal and very real. I’m not surprised that young people are starting to treat climate change in the same way. It’s different when it’s your life that’s on the line.
source? it's common sense that drugs can interact with others. always see a doctor before taking anything. again, it's not specific for this case, it's plain common sense. even aspirin is dangerous if you're diabetic, for example.
I think part of the issue is that a lot of places outside of SF are places where people want to live and work (who also make lots of money). Lots of people want to live in Palo Alto, Oakland, Mountain View, etc so the prices don't really go down that much as you move further out.

I’m curious how do you mean this? There are a plenty of reasons as to why I wouldn’t want to have a roommate and a 2bd is not affordable.
Like I pointed out, I am all in favor of micro-optimizations, it is complete UI redesigns that have no merit or basis to derive their change upon that I'm against.

It certainly sounds like the sort of thing you could automate to a pretty big scale.
Not to put too fine a point on it, but when the decision is made on your feet at a whiteboard, only the people who are able to think on their feet at a whiteboard discussion can participate. If you have a whiteboard discussion and then say, "come back to me tomorrow with specific feedback" -- and privately ask people directly who you know are unlikely to make comments in public, I think you will get a completely different point of view (if you haven't weeded out all the good meticulous thinkers already, of course).

> The co-founder of troubled cryptocurrency exchange QuadrigaCX is a convicted felon

All kinds of folks living at the top of the crypto pyramid have a rich checkered past. Look at esteemed former US citizen Roger Ver--convicted felon for mailing explosives. Then you've got Charlie Shrem, a convicted felon who was helping launder money. You've got Mark Karpeles, who was convicted in Japan for all kinds of shit. Lets not forget bitcoin developer Luke Jr -- who is a rather.... interesting.... fellow.

Name "spokesperson" for bitcoin and they'll have a rather sketchy history. I cannot name a single person at the top of the bitcoin food chain that is a "normal person".
UI improvements are good, and fixes when the UI is lacking is encouraged. What I am championing against is redesigns, total redesigns. I feel that improvements should be made in incremental changes.

$4500-$5000/mo 3-4 bedroom single family house in San Mateo. Perfect, safe location right in between San Francisco and San Jose, close to good schools, close to Caltrain station, close to major highways - 92, 101 and 280.

About 40-45 minutes from SF and San Jose time wise regardless of time of the day.

Weird. The data is flawed, at least for Germany. We do have "equal pay for equal work" ("Entgeldgleichheitsgesetz", literally "equal pay law"; the data says no), we do have paid paternity leave (and it's compulsory for women, they are compensated with "Mutterschaftsgeld", literally "Motherhoodmoney", defined in the "Mutterschutzgesetz", "Mother protection law"; they say no), and we have an added voluntary paid paternity leave that both parents can take ("Elternzeitgesetz", literally "Parent time law").

It's the World Bank, I would've guessed they pay attention to detail, but I suppose that's naive.
Entitled is not the same as just getting what you want. If you can afford it, great. If you can’t afford it, nothing else entitles you to have it.
It's not about whether any specific person deserves to live in a specific place.

There is a cost to society in effectively pricing out half of the population from an entire city. Is the benefit of mitigating that worth the cost?

For what it's worth, I think that it probably is.

> you'd think the authorities would start looking into Cotten's communication prior to all of this.

The irony is many of the people into bitcoin are the kind of people who think tax is theft and the government should get out of everything in their life.

... right up until they suffer a personal financial loss. Then it is up to the government to make them whole....
I value design, like I pointed out earlier. What I find lacking in value are total redesigns where there isn't concrete reasons why the redesign should take place. For what basis is the redesign on? It "feels" better?

I'd be more comfortable with a more complete reason.
> it's time we had a "Fuck Alcohol" movement

How completely out of it do you have to be to think that we need 'Fuck Alcohol' movement?

If you hadn't noticed, we had one about 100 years ago and it was an utter failure, and is honestly responsible for the awful drinking culture Americans have today.
People are entitled to build whatever they want on their property. As Silicon Valley is ruled by rent seekers who make building illegal, people have every right to complain.

I can think of hash functions that are homomorphic, but are not secure. A simple example is something like “sha256 each element separately and XOR all the resulting hashes together.” This would not be collusion resistant.

We offer a proof that LtHash with our choice of parameters provides over 200 bits of security. You would have to read the paper for the details.
The installers do people a disservice today. It's not mature enough to be deployed as if it were magic.
I was a summer intern at CERN a few years back. I had the same feeling of watching thousands of people working on projects together including tons of code, wiring, machinery, and complex physics to measure extremely hard things at ridiculous precision. I could never really shake the feeling that it should have been practically impossible to make such projects work. It is hard enough to not make bugs in personal projects, but when you are hundreds of people writing code and plugging in wires over time, some mistakes should appear that breaks the results.
I did not like how I had to re-learn where everything was! :(

Your brain is more nimble than mine, cheers to you! :)
I believe my previous drug issues were strongly related to the drinking culture at the company I worked for during that time. I am at a point now where if I felt pressured like this I would not shrug it off like I used to, but instead contact HR.
It helps at the very least to learn another's perspective. Again I'm not calling out front-end designers, nor do I feel their work is not valuable.
This is more expensive than Manhattan, Tokyo, every European capital, etc. It's more expensive because unlike most other cities San Francisco has very few residential apartment buildings. Make SF into Manhattan and watch prices fall.
It's not exactly more legs -> less chance of falling, but rather it is larger footprint -> less chance of falling. The footprint is basically the shape made by the outermost points of contact. If the net force vector (generally just project center of mass in direction of gravity) goes outside the footprint, the system is unstable. You could absolutely have a chair with more legs be less stable than one with fewer legs, if the footprint is smaller.
Gotta ask, because this issue comes up in many major cities:

And what if the service workers who make substantially less than the higher earners who so rely on them?

Does the cost go down that much for a 4 bedroom split between four people on minimum wage? In a lot of places it doesn’t.
There's nothing inherent in that. Any more than it's inherent that in a system that awards apartments based on time on a waiting list, that time on a waiting list entitles you to an apartment in that system.

The argument is whether we should somehow alter what entitles you to an apartment in our system.
Also interesting to see what happens when such a library becomes nested within a more popular library. Disabling should still work, but fewer people would be aware.
There isn't much to discuss. The whole ecosystem is rotten from the core. It is nothing but scammers scamming scammers the whole way down.

> why do you want blockchain tech to go away?

Because it pisses away small nations worth of non renewable energy in order for a few people to profit off a bunch of starry eyed naive suckers.

> And if it goes away, do you have a different suggestion for people who find central banking to be unjust?

Yes. Go get an education and learn basic finance, economics, and monetary policy. When you are done with that, go out and get more education of politics, sociology, marketing and computer science.
I always wonder how those who are not in the high paying jobs can afford to live there. I'm talking about police, fire, EMS, coffeehouse workers, etc.
That is not my experience. I've been shipping code for >20 years across a ton of platforms. MS tech has always been a snowflake headache.
Those are not small doses.

New York is the “human epicenter” in the US. San Francisco is in the same tier as Houston or DC: https://www.lboro.ac.uk/gawc/world2018t.html.

Paying New York/London prices to live in a city that is not New York or London is just sad.
Thanks! Definitely been doing that since learning of his passing last Saturday.
Quite Possibly the Most Epic 404 Page Troll in the History of the Internet
Note that Zumper is not a reliable source for median rent data. CityObservatory wrote an article about their data problems a few years ago [1]. Zumper's data is, of course, based on apartments that are for rent and doesn't include currently occupied units. That alone skews high, especially when there is a lot of higher-rent new construction hitting the market. Also, it looks like Zumper's data skews towards higher-end neighborhoods.

For a broader look at the rental market, including occupied units and rent-controlled units, you could just consult ACS data. That says that median rent for all occupied 1-bedrooms in San Fransisco was $1912 in 2017 [2].

I doubt anyone here is going to fall for that, but just in case: "Vonderplanitz claimed that in his 20s he was diagnosed with multiple, terminal cancers resistant to conventional treatments, and that he cured these along with a number of other maladies such as autism, angina, dyslexia, juvenile diabetes, multiple myeloma, psoriasis, bursitis, osteoporosis, tooth decay and 'mania caused by excessive fruit' through raw diets, especially ones including raw meat."

Honestly, C# has replaced C++ for the large majority of Windows application developers. Developing C# apps in Visual Studio is basically frictionless in a way that C++ will never be. C++ as a language (regardless of IDE) is a major pain in the butt.

They acknowledge that the term "whiteboard interview"/"whiteboarding" is a simplification and a proxy for a style of interviewing they don't like, but I really wish they didn't pick "whiteboard" as that simplified negative term. Whiteboards don't get enough credit, from my experience.

I really like collaborating with someone with a whiteboard: it's fun, it's social, and it feels like a dramatically more effective form of collaboration and explanation than common alternatives like chat conversations and shared docs. I've had jobs where whiteboard-style collaboration is common, and I've had jobs where it almost never happens, and I greatly prefer to be in a culture where it's the norm. So for me, if I go through an interview process and no whiteboards were used in the process at all, it makes me worry that I wouldn't be happy there.
They don’t. For example in nearby Atherton the cops have made makeshift sleeping quarters in the police station because they cannot afford to live in the city they work. Many of the homeless in tents or RVs have jobs in the city, the sole reason they’re homeless is because there are no homes affordable on a low-wage job.
Based on a quick google for Aajonus Vonderplanitz, I'm confident that it is 100% false.
My first thought, on reading the source of the data, is that the article was probably prompted by a press release from Zumper. I don't know this, but if reporting a record high gets them press for their app, they'll certainly be biased towards finding a record high. What a poorly sourced article.

I’m coming to this point. If I’m going to pay a New York level rent I might was well enjoy a 24/7 subway, a plethora of good restaurants and a beach that’s actually warm in the summer.
> It's not about whether any specific person deserves to live in a specific place.

I never said anything about if someone deserves to live somewhere.

A 1-bedroom apartment is a very specific type of unit and that's part of what I wanted to point out. You can also rent studios, converted rooms, or get roommates in a bigger place with more rooms. There's a lot of other options I'm leaving out too, but I reject the premise that everyone in SF absolutely requires a 1-bedroom apt as an essential. It's nice to have certainly, and having roommates isn't for everyone...but there are tradeoffs to every place you live. You can absolutely make SF work if that was your desire and you knew the tradeoffs.
Where I'm currently working we do pair programming interviews (usually with ping pong). Some candidates don't like it. Sometimes we have technical hitches. However, it's been the best method I've seen in my fairly long career. I can't think of a single time that we've hired someone and been surprised when they showed up to work. The strengths we've seen have actually been there and the weaknesses as well. We may well miss some good people, but I think that's inevitable. Having a predictable hiring practice is much more valuable to me.

Our practice is pretty interesting. We do a telephone pre-screen and then 2 hours of pair programming (4 25 minute pomodoros pairing with a different person each pomodoro). We generally do the pair programming remotely. I can't even remember the last time we did an in person interview. We also try to accommodate people who want to interview outside of normal business hours. It's a fairly long interview, but skipping the commute helps a bit (I hope).

Just for people who aren't familiar with ping pong, one person writes a failing test, the next person fulfills that test and then writes the next failing test. It ensures you pass the keyboard back and forth frequently and that both partners are plugged in.

Like I said, some candidates really don't like it. There is still a lot of stress having to produce while being watched. Also, not very many people have experience with pair programming and TDD, so ping pong is pretty foreign. However, the interviewer can help quite a bit, driving the process and even solving the problem. Over the period of 2 hours, hopefully the candidate can settle down and just program naturally. It also gives the interviewer a lot of leeway to ask questions like, "What do you think of this idea?" and see how they react.
If you like those, here’s a bunch more:

Walnut Creek is about 40m away from SF on Bart. So door-to-door that'd be about an hour commute. Safe, picturesque, good schools and vibrant downtown. The rent there would be about $1800 for a 1BDR.

EDIT: As noted by the sibling post, the reason it is cheap is because Walnut Creek does not have very many tech jobs. Also, the peculiar thing about the Bay Area is that about 15 years or so the tech industry oscillates its epicenter between San Francisco and the South Bay. From Walnut Creek you can reach San Francisco in an hour, but if you have clients/partners/HQ etc in South Bay it is one bad commute.

It seems silly to debate the existence of the possibility that Huawei can spy on their customers or whether it has happened before. They ship binary blob software updates to the hardware routinely, as does any other vendor of this kind of equipment.

The only reasonable question is whether you believe Huawei will exploit this opportunity if asked or "asked" by the Chinese government.
Cool. And when that algorithm decides that that thing you don't like is banned beyond appeal, what will you do?
From that CityObservatory article:

Zumper has also made a name for itself through its “National Rent Reports”
—more or less monthly press releases that claim to track median rental prices around the country.
These reports have received copious media coverage, from the Bay Area to Seattle to Nashville to Chicago to Boston to LA to Miami to Denver, and so on.
