Youtube was always manipulating the platform for arbitrary purposes (and sometimes the content, for copyright purposes.) Users have never been in control of anything.

see: the Youtube "Adpocalypse" and the various other changes to their algorithm that destroyed the profitability of entire genres of content (such as animation.)
allow channels to categorise themselves (which I believe already exists but is underutilised?) and allow users to express positive or negative interest towards categories. There is little incentive to self-categorise incorrectly as it would lower your visibility to those who want to find you.
As someone running a Matrix homeserver I take this incident as an example of the benefits of decentralization. Unlike in more centralized services, the security lapses of Matrix.org have had no affect on my homeserver.
The idea is not to be driven by simplicity per se, but by composability. Build software wherein you take it for granted that it will be used in many contexts, and that it is only ever able to solve 'part' of the problem because other parts may not yet be understood.

If you're not focussed on building simple systems, then you're unlikely to be able to compose them, and if you can't compose them, they will likely become obsolete quickly. So the goal is really to avoid having to implement the same things over and over again.
Except MCNs sit as a middleman to you getting paid. The Defy Media debacle taught everyone a hard lesson.

For those unaware, Defy Media went bust and had taken out substantial loans to operate. A large number of big creators are still unpaid while Defy Media's creditors carve up the company's assets.

All those creators are going to get left unpaid.

As someone who was pretty heavily invested in getting tech workers to organize, I've watched with interest as some version of this article gets written every three or four months. There is always a small group of people actively tilting at this windmill, and they make for a good story.

What I am waiting to see is a significant demand being met by any major tech employer. The end of forced arbitration at Google was a promising development, but the failure of the Google walkout organizers to get their key demand—an employee representative on the board—doesn't bode well.

I continue to believe that tech workers enjoy a temporary position of immense leverage in the workplace, but turning that into substantive gains has so far proven beyond anyone's capacity. I wish the current crop of organizers the best of luck in trying to make it happen.
That looks different. The Data Connector, which you linked, lets you write a query to BQ and have the results in Sheets. Connected Sheets sounds like it's actually a front-end to the underlying data.

Notably, the Data Connector has a row limit of 10,000 results, while the Connected Sheets claim to surpass the regular row limits of Google Sheets in general.
So, Coinbase's market makers (possibly itself) are seemingly providing the liquidity for this product. How do they avoid over-exposure if this debit card is successful?
Its a NatWest Reward card. Cashback is normally 0.5-1%, but they have additional cashback from selected vendors at different times, e.g. they had 10% on amazon.co.uk purchases and 3% for household bills at one point, and current offers include 10% off at a restaurant I'm already scheduled to visit. Monthly fee is £2 so you need to work out if the additional cashback is likely to net you more than £24pa.

I don't know, I thought the random snot-sucking and throat-clearing gave it a nice, relatable quality.
Why Less Communication Is Better
Look at airlines and auto companies for the danger of extreme unionization. You can kill the goose that lays the golden eggs. Unions generally only work in monopolies (think old school telecom) where there is a surplus that is protected from competition. In this case it’s just about dividing a fixed pie.

The best thing for workers is to have many companies competing for their talents. That’s why counterintuitive things like lower corporate taxes can sometimes benefit workers. Same with reducing barriers to market entry.

Deplatforming, blocking, label and dismissing as forms of dealing with `extremes`, is not only a bad solution, but only fuels those extremes - driving them into their own confirmation bubbles and onto more dangerous forms of outletting their opinions.

What needs to happen is solid debate, constructivly listening and then disseminating and showing what they are wrong about and why, with proof.

As for platforms, deplatforming gives them PR, fuels their antidisestablishment mentalities and hands them the discrimination card (ironically) as a social form of crying to gain more people sat on the fence and drives them into hopping off on the wrong side.
Be far better to listen, debate and handle, heck even if everybody just laughed and pointed - whilst unconstructive, it is far more constructive than the way it is currently handled.

But the whole rise of label and dismiss, has become a tool that many use to push their own extreme narratives and group-think mentalities without rationalising what they are actually doing.

Imagine if somebody said 2+2 is 5, you would point out what is wrong with that, why and show that it is 4. But society today seems to prefer to label and name call and ignore them without telling them how they are wrong and debating it so they learn. Hence it only fuels and angers those who believe the answer is 5, as they feel ignored, dismissed and in effect, bullied. Then the whole state of victimhood mentalities play out and the only thing debated is done in a confirmation-vacuum by both sides in isolation, giving rise to name calling etc. All rather sad and ugly.
The problem is that "quality" is going to be enforced by the same algorithms that mark whitenoise as a DMCA copyright violation.

It's not "ridiculous", it's table stakes. If you ever run an open community, you'll find that bad actors are inevitable.
Very few hash tables actually run in O(1) time and they tend to be bounded. You cannot have any collisions at all, and you need to use a lookup with fast, constant cost.

Many hash tables in use today are actually either O(n^2) (for the homework kind), or O(n log n) for some large log factor like 32 (in the spirit of Bagwell's work).
But you have to authorize them and I trust more Apple than any random dev making an app with my location.

I used the "find my frieds" enabling my wife to track me for when I went in a long distance working trip from Italy in a very sketchy area of the US called SILICON VALLEY.

Jokes apart, a temporary "find my friends" can be useful, but a continuous tracking it's nonsense to me.
Not sure, nothing should inherently stop this kind of app working on other systems apart from bad design decisions. I see they're bundling netdisco with it according to some git commit messages. Could be why, only osx builds catered for there.

Does seem a little strange to bundle that

The idea is to preferentially spend cryptocurrency over dollars. This only works on the assumption that dollars are ``better money''[1] than cryptocurrencies. People spend worse money before their good money. Coinbase is making a bet that there will be a lot of people sitting on piles of depreciating cryptocurrency that they don't mind liquidating. They're making a very bearish bet, or maybe just hedging their business model to survive a little longer.

I think there was a sort of techno-utopianism in the aughts that the hip new startups will solve all the world's problems. People will be educated and not fall for disinformation with wikipedia and google at their fingertips. People will discover the wonders of democracy and free speech with facebook and rise against oppressive governments. These were obviously overly optimistic projections.

Also, the rise of outrage porn makes it much easier for people to come to the conclusion that "the system" is horribly broken and needs to be changed (for almost any "system" that we speak of, government or capitalism, or youtube, literally anything)
“The trouble with Socialism is that eventually you run out of other people's money.” - M. Thatcher
Sorry, overall my above comment had two sub-points:

First, the point that employees are not always shareholders. They get payed to do a job at a wage accepted by both the company and employee.

Second, the idea of socialism over all. As Marx described it, it's merely a transitional phase: the means of production is taken from capitalists and given to the government to basically hold in custody until it can be passed to the people. Don't believe me that this push is happening? Elizabeth Warren wants workers placed on company boards. The fruits are those produced by someone who works, be it for a company or starting his own. I go out and earn money, and socialism says I must give that money away, not to the government to uphold the social contract. Rather, it says I must give it to anyone who does not have a constantly-changing set of "basic needs", simply by virtue of their existence. It's not encouragement to give to charity (which I already do, as I can), but rather coercion by the government.
Our company standardized on React company-wide along with a company-built framework of reusable components to share across all applications.

ArduPilot has switched from NuttX to ChibiOS. See the video for more information [1]. If you don't require POSIX compatibility, it's really the way to go. The kernel is very fast, and the HAL is much better compared to the typical vendor peripheral libraries. Definitely take a look at it if you've used FreeRTOS in the past. The community is excellent too with high SNR content [2], and the main developer is very responsive.

There's more to it than that, but IMO even that doesn't matter.

So let's talk about this in 1970s terms.

A whistleblower knows there are documents of import in a locked room. They take a picture of the locked door and give it the journalist. The journalist gives them instructions of how to pick the specific lock in a way that won't be traced back to them. The whistleblower then uses that information to break into the room and take the documents. Did the journalist commit a crime?

What are these bad actors doing that requires top-down censorship and marginalization?
Unions for tech workers are ridiculous. We’re not coal miners, we are highly skilled white collar professionals that should be more than capable of finding work that suits us without extra regulatory bullshit.

I find the people who are clamoring for unions in tech are among the least talented and skilled of employees, and they should probably find a new industry entirely instead of trying to change the one they’re in to be more hospitable to the lowest common denominators. Perhaps we can help the process along by putting these people on hiring blacklists and ensuring they never work in this town again.

I'm curious about the demographics of someone that would ask such a question (in such a manner). I suspect you do not have children, or at least not teenage ones. I recall that I used to hold much stronger (and different) opinions about child-rearing _before_ I had children of my own.

I constantly struggle with balance between keeping my children safe and allowing them agency and the development of personal responsibility. Among other things, this ranges over such topics as location tracking, internet filtering, browser history, screen-time, etc.

I will absolutely admit that much of this sounds like the stuff that repressive governments engage in, but then again, my children are not full citizens. They are developing human beings that require a certain degree of protection.

Are you only opposed to location tracking? What level of "nanny-state" do think is acceptable in a household setting?
The BBC is under threat because they refuse to innovate. They're not yet doing full scale 4k streaming, programs disappear after X number of days, and to be quite honest, they don't offer the value for money Netflix does.

And BBC's own shows, like Planet Earth 2 are already on Netflix, so why would you even still need a license fee at that point?

It made sense 20 years ago when there were only 5 or so channels, now there is so much content available so quickly (even if it's not "legal") that people are realizing it's a waste of money.

Which is true.

The thing that I really miss about old Windows Phone is the lack of notifications. They're almost never that time critical. Having the same info on a live tile was so much better. The info streams were properly segregated and I had control over their prioritization through tile layout: important stuff at near the top, shown in a wide tile; stupid stuff near the bottom, in a small tile.
Personally, as a Christian, my hope isn't in the world. It may be hopeless and lost (in fact, from my position, it is), but that doesn't lead me to despair, because I wasn't looking for hope there in the first place.

At least, that's what my theology says. But I keep forgetting that, and looking at the circumstances of the world or my personal life, and panicking. And then I have to go back and remind myself, no, this world here isn't the bottom line. It's may fall apart, but I don't have to. My real hope will not be ruined even if everything here falls apart.
Your employer is able to bargain with you as one massive, collective organization with all its resources to bear. Why should you have to negotiate with them as a one atomic individual person, when you and your coworkers can instead get together and negotiate from a much stronger position?
The matching start-up TL to mid-level FAANG seems fair to my observations.
There are plenty of employee-owned companies to join if that's your opinion. Trying to shoehorn that ownership into companies that often got to where they are by not being employee-owned seems really entitled.
Hirschman wrote a book called Exit, Voice, and Loyalty that you may find interesting. What I see in your response is this: 'Exit and Loyalty are enough, so why have Voice?' In your mind it's good enough to just go to another job that has better conditions, but why is it wrong to want to change your current job? I don't see a good argument in your post against the usage of voice or democracy in the workplace, just your perspective that you don't need it. But maybe others do think they need it, so let's give it to them.
No, that’s not only slang in California. We all know why you think it’s a terrible name.
