Theres also peertube, but with dtube particularly there are two major problems:

1) Steem in general is a mess. Its controlled by the parent company, you cannot mine it - the only way to generate it is on their content platforms. Its only a cryptocurrency insofar as it has public transaction records, without distributed proofing the integrity of the blockchain is faith in Steemit. Likewise, the value of the currency can solely be attributed to how the public perceives the value of a Steem token. Thats like every crypto, but most cryptos are trusted by their distribution of work, time, space, or stake. For Steem, its about the popularity of Steemit websites.

2) Using IPFS for the video hosting is what I'm advocating for but nothing addresses the second. D.tube simply centralizes on the site and depends on the valuation of the cryptocurrency keeping the lights on when guaranteeing an available seed of every video on the site. If you host your own d.tube instance, you would need to seed every video uploaded lest risk videos being lost.

Additionally, to my knowledge, getting money out of Steem is quite challenging since there is no corporate business account on Steemits end. You have to use third party wallets and exchanges to sell Steem. Good luck trying to onboard normal people into something like that.

That all being said I don't think D.tube is bad. Its a very novel approach to trying to bootstrap a video site by trying to incentivize participation with a deterministic token given out on popularity. But that depends on constant, sufficient growth to keep the hype going so the token isn't arbitraged down to nothing in value. Its only worth anything for its scarcity determinism, which isn't worth much in an endless sea of cryptocurrencies.

If a for-profit company can't market itself effectively, it is going to die.

Elsvier is the textbook example of a company that hasn't marketed itself effectively, unless you consider "WE ARE MONOPOLY! RESISTANCE IS FUTILE!" to be a marketing strategy.

Well, the monopoly is over. Nature is taking its course.

It's cheaper to Tesla if they "deliver" it at their factory. I took delivery of my Tesla at the Fremont factory. was still forced to pay full delivery fee. insane.
Patreon has comments already, fwiw.
I'm not saying it's ideal. But there's a population of folks for whom Tesla is definitely on their radar, regardless of their retail presence. I live in Hawaii, and I've been following Tesla since the original Roadster. If I could have purchased one with a money-back guarantee, I would have. The real stumbling block for me was that there was no service center on Hawaii at the time. I still wouldn't recommend buying a Tesla if there isn't a service center nearby.
Rent one? Depending on where you live there are rental car places you can rent a Tesla.
Strictly speaking pipelining isn't actually necessary, it's just hard to imagine why you'd bother with superscalar execution without first exhausting the relatively-lower-hanging-fruit of pipelining.

Walk the Moon – Shut Up and Dance (8-Bit)
Low quality channels have low quality comments. High quality channels have high quality comments. I feel a bit embarrassed for people who claim they've never seen a good comment on youtube.

Here are two examples I came across a few minutes ago:

> Grady, to gain a variable flow control, could you use the horizontal angle of a folder weir? If the point of the folded weir was say 5 degrees higher than the outer sides, a slow flowing river would only flow over the lowest parts of the crest. As the flow increased, more of the weir's crest is used by the water, This would effectively self regulate the weir's geometry.

response:

> Such structures exist and they're called compound weirs. These structures come in various cross-section geometries which can be tailored to provide better control of water levels under various discharge rates. The structures discussed with a fixed crest height, also have a fixed relationship between the upstream water level and discharge capacity.

I think that's an interesting exchange, don't you? Nobody is tossing around profanities, neither claimed the earth is flat, called the other a 12 year old, or anything like that. Insightful and constructive comments are common on decent channels, and non-existent on trash channels. That's not really a reflection of how youtube works, but probably a symtom of something more fundamental about human nature.
Gas savings will vary by where you live and whether you have cheap gas and/or cheap electricity or expensive gas and/or expensive electricity. Even with expensive electricity though it's still cheaper than gas.

I agree that quoting a single figure here is misleading.
Very legal and very cool.
Good analogy, the internet is entirely deinstitutionalized, but even worse, because:

a) people are more likely to have gumption to be negative in the absence of social cues of another person in their presence (global effect, whether or not user is mentally ill)

b) those motivated and possessing time to post are more likely to be suffering from issues (where those not mentally ill may just not engage because they have other things going on in life)

c) unlike the physical space where filters exist, you're often exposed to these people when navigating to entirely innocuous content (e.g. a kids video).

d) way way easier to find people with same or adjacent point of view on internet, reinforcing beliefs and potentially driving person further to extremes

Problem needs to be addressed from multiple fronts - as you say, more control for end users to tweak their experience (top down), alongside better platform-level filtering (bottom up), along with all the helpful designs therein like good defaults.
This is so bizarre, so Google/Youtube is still trying to claim that they are NOT a media company, just a platform, no media, not responsible of course, but at the same time they are putting responsibility of moderating user comments ONTO THE VIDEO MAKERS themselves.

This is completely hypocritical and idiotic. Youtube comments have been famous for a decade for being among the worst of the worst content on the web, and now they're going to try to just foist that cancer on channel owners and wash their hands of it? Are you kidding? Is this a joke?

Is nobody in charge at Google anymore? Are they just going to keep endlessly reacting to whatever media story got the most attention last week instead of actually trying to build something new?
I think you are a bit quick to judge to declare this as "strange" and "weird".

What I find strange for myself is the requirement of having a git web interface installed on the server and the need to use a web browser just to analyze a few parts of a remote repository.

Sure, it works, looks great, and there already are mainstream solutions available; but, a web interface certainly is overkill if all you want is to display some remote files.

I'm definitely not saying that web interfaces are wrong, but for people like me, simpler alternatives are very welcome, and I feel that FTP is a perfect fit for this. Git repositories are file trees after all and a "file transfer protocol" sounds like a better fit for this task than a "hypertext transfer protocol".

Apart from simplicity, this approach would have better composability (with external tools) as well, as the author put it:

> However these interfaces are fairly rigid, and don’t connect well with external tools.

Looking for simpler solutions to do things that we do everyday is never "strange" in my eyes.
I see how it’s a joke. Looks almost exactly like an old Camry.
This seems like something that Bell's Loyalty and Retention could have taken care of. I know with Telus they'll often prorate for overages --- though, I've never had anything close to this level.

So while this is on the parents, it seems silly to potentially lose a long-term client that will be paying well over that over the course of their contracts.

It’s interesting that they chose to use Common Lisp for their entire quantum stack. Maybe it hit the sweet spot between expressiveness and performance? Choosing a Lisp makes sense, but I’m not sure I would choose CL. The macro system is primitive and the whole language stinks of a compromised design. Also, at this point, the language feels old and somewhat archaic.

If performance isn’t a dealbreaker, Racket would be sensible choice. Though personally, I think OCaml would be great for this sort of project. Native code, syntax extensions with ppx, a bulletproof type system, and a highly optimized compiler that produces blazing fast code.

I mention this in a sibling comment, as I've thought something similar: maybe the README should be on top. The problem, as I mention there, is that when you use GitHub as a tool, it's more common to navigate to the files than refer to the README. And with long READMEs, that's potentially a lot of scrolling to get to the files.

What this implies is that GitHub is not your project page. The README there should be more development focused, and there should be a separate project page which goes into more detail about project-level things.
I get a light version of it whenever I do yoga, meditation, or get a deep tissue massage. This was different, like a min 150mg dose - intense body rush, light sensitivity/nystagmus. And it just went on for about 16 hours or so, impairing my ability to function.
Please note that Tesla doesn’t include any estimates of depreciation for their cars. If this was intended to be an accurate cost of ownership they should include that too. However, they don’t, especially for model 3, because they know it would make them look bad.
I drove a Model S. None of my cars is a Model S.

I remember the “salesperson” talking about how quiet it was as wind noise whistled through the cabin like we were in a Corolla. The A4 I was driving at the time was immensely quieter at highway speeds but I nodded and played along.

I’m convinced the aspirational status of Teslas means people who haven’t experienced actual luxury vechicles are buying into the hype that Tesla is somehow peak luxury, or even deserves to be called luxury outside of pricing (especially when you compare a Model S to it's price-mates)

Which leads to hyperbolic statements like this one.

Of course I minimize my physical activity during dry fasts.

Hot. Arizona hot.

I don't track the weight anymore, about a pound a day, maybe a bit more. Early on it was nearly 2 pounds a day. Regain 75% of it on the scale rather quickly because I eat mostly fruits due to their water content. The weight loss is not what I'm after, as I said before, any weight loss during a dry fast is normal and expected. Those who need to put on weight generally do shortly after a fast is completed
I mostly agree, though I still think adding 2fa to whatever password manager you do use is vaguely worthwhile. Long term creds can get checked into repos, accidentally pasted somewhere, etc. May as well have 2fa to mitigate this edge case ️.
> Some non state actors started the conflict, and India decided to make it an official conflict. State actors can't really treat these non-conventional forces as extensions of the military of other countries and retaliate against them.

Sorry but this is total BS. Pakistan as a state is known to support and sponsor terrorist groups including Jaish-e-Mohammed, which was responsible for the recent attack that led to deaths of 40 Indian soldiers. Jaish has terrorist camps in Pakistan occupied part of Kashmir. So even if what you claim is true, the Govt. of Pakistan has all the powers to put an end to these camps but they chose not to.
I wasn't fasting per se, it was about 8 hours since I had eaten (it was 9pm and lunch ended at 1).
The price of the car is X.

You don't get to SUBTRACT the cost of gas from X.

You can compare X to some other car's (Y + Gas).
I read through most of those earlier, and I'm not sure that you're being charitable in your interpretation of the conversation.

The "dark pattern" complaint is that actual realized savings (tax credits) are mixed with hypothetical savings (future cost of gasoline) and taken off of the sales price. Meanwhile, things like delivery fees, sales taxes and maintenance cost differences are not added back in.

It's one part standard marketing, one part underhanded marketing imho.

> And when marketers try to bring future savings into the present and get you thinking in terms of total cost of ownership,

That's because it is fundamentally inaccurate, and therefor counter-productive. I'm all for demonstrating TCO differences, but when you show a "price" of $26k and the actual price is over $40k with taxes and everything added back in, suddenly you get struck with a bit of cognative dissonance.
Demand has collapsed in the US for model 3 and looks incredibly weak in Europe and China at this point. There is no reason for this across the board price cut other than weak demand.

Errr what? The base Tesla comes with almost no features at all.
We pretty explicitly said "hey, the web is a regression from the 90s... let's just make a company that fixes that"
I understand that but we're talking three months here and a 20% drop in price for an identical product. This is not like a new iPhone.

I owe the bank more than the car is worth NEW. Or close to it.[0]

So effectively, Tesla has tanked the resale value of the asset. So the $3000 isn't even the half of it. I am now also depreciated by that much more.

[0] I haven't done the math, I may be be slightly bellow by a few hundred bucks.

> You suggested to someone that they hide their heritage so you don’t think less of them.

That's actually not true, that's your warped perception of what I'm saying. Your brain happens to portray me as a caricature of everything that's wrong in the world - a common bias you may not be conscious of.

Let's take my standpoint to the extreme. Let's say I know there's a bunch of violent Nazis roaming the streets and I suggest not to wear a Star Of David out there in public. Does that make me a Nazi or an endorser of Nazism? If I was the Nazi, wouldn't I rather want to withhold that piece of information?

In any event, your name is not your heritage and your heritage is not you.

> And your inability to pronounce someone’s name is a failing in your education or experience. Your failing, not theirs.

That's actually a pretty arrogant thing to say. Let's say there's an Indian restaurant chain that serves food worldwide. Are you going to say they'd be denying their heritage, if they tuned down the spices in markets where people generally can't stand hot food? Is it the failing of the people if they don't return after eating just one meal that was too spicy? You know what, maybe it is. That restaurant chain is still going out of business there.

Again, if you don't care about success, go all in with staying "true to your heritage" if you like to. Keep your unpronouncable name and insist on it being pronounced correctly.

Interesting thing is a lot of sound deadening practices also apply to insulation. I don’t know if this statistic is accurate in the audio case but it’s not far off.

Heat conduction through studs in an insulated wall also carries sound. A 2x6 plate wall with 2x4 studs on alternating faces (think slalom) helps with both.
For many people (myself included), misleading communications practices seem to line up perfectly with Tesla's and Musk's overall image.

I love what they've accomplished in the field; the cars are genuinely very good; the exaggerations and outright lies are unnecessary and therefore infuriating to watch...

> If you feel disoriented, give it a minute. Once you are used to it, you might notice it’s actually easier on the eyes and a bit lighter.

I've been staring at it for 5 minutes now and I'm still disoriented. The borders and gradients gave the design an attractive depth and by removing them you ruined for me. The whole high-contrast/no-gradient thing is also one of the reasons I dislike using Gitlab. It was all going pretty well before then, though.
Maybe I used the term "thermal envelope" too loosely?

I agree that restoring an air seal is trivial on a per-hole basis. My main point was restoring the lost insulation performance that comes from trashing one stud cavity of fiberglass batt insulation when the hole is made.

Based on my limited knowledge, I don't know what impact that might have on the overall structure's thermal efficiency. I would also worry about risk to any water-carrying pipes running through such a section in a cold climate.

I have never once paid a delivery fee for a new car. I do not know anyone who has bought a non-luxury car that has paid a delivery fee for a car.

OTOH, I do know many people who paid delivery fees for customized luxury cars. The $35k Model 3, however, is not a luxury car and is barely customizable, even to the extent of available add-on packages.
The final result looks too widget-y/SPA-y, overloaded with information.

I've used Zotero regularly since 2012 or so. At the time I chose it because it integrated with Firefox, though I recall looking into Mendeley as well. If you use BibTeX or BibLaTeX I'd recommend the following extension: https://github.com/retorquere/zotero-better-bibtex

I'm very glad I never even tried Mendeley given the database encryption fiasco. Mendeley put a blog post out saying that preventing importing to Zotero was unintentional, but I don't buy it.

https://blog.mendeley.com/2019/01/31/the-importance-of-inter...

Before the database encryption fiasco, I would recommend Mendeley and Zotero if someone wanted a citation manager, but now I recommend staying away from Mendeley as much as possible.

The only major problems I've had with Zotero were related to Firefox's switch to WebExtensions. Now adding a copy of a webpage to a citation is more difficult than before the switch, though probably equally difficult as in Mendeley.

One of the reasons I will likely never own a Tesla is because I have driven all of them...including the limited edition Roadster (courtesy of an old boss that liked collecting fast, shiny things). Other than the impressive acceleration, the handling and ride other ride tangibles of every Tesla model is below-average for both its price point and its class.
I am happy to see that surrogate model optimization is starting to be used to its potential, but it's sad to have to watch it from the sidelines.
