Someone brought up the same question on /r/showerthoughts on reddit, and one of the Pornhub employees said that there had been internal talks about it, especially after Youtube started demonetizing tons of channels, but they weren't actively developing anything. The main issue I can see would be advertisers not wanting to be associated with the brand, even tangentially. YouPorn had sponsored an esports team that ran into issues being allowed to tournaments because the tournament sponsors didn't want their brand name to be presented alongside a porn site.

It's just the span between 21 and 22 that took unusually long[1].

The first Emacs 19.* came out in 1993, last 21.* in 2001. So 3 major releases in 8 years, roughly one every 2.5 years.

The first Emacs 22.* came out in 2007, and 26.* in 2018, so 5 major releases in 11 years, roughly one every 2.2 years.

Whereas 21.* to 22.* took from 2001 to 2007, or around 6 years. Here's an LWN article from 2007 covering why it took so long: https://lwn.net/Articles/234593/

If they do too much random OSS to a point where it prevents them from achieving your business goals, you can terminate them.
I'm not taking a side here and said nothing about not listening to any conservative or closing off to debate. I'm merely pointing out that "college kids didn't want to listen to token conservative talkinghead A or B" is not equivalent to how classes of people are treated in the slightest.
There's a huge connection between housing and transportation, one affects the other in profound ways.

NIMBY Environmentalist, please take note: For example, in the bay area, high housing prices push people to the outer boundaries of the bay for housing, like Tracy, Stockton and beyond.

They are illegal immigrants. They cannot be in this country so you have to detain them while being processed or deport them immediately. There is no middle ground. I'm not sure what you're referring to as before April 2018 because it's the same process, only the enforcement was worse back then was lacking to the detriment of the nation. Laws are now being followed properly with some adjustments to the queue.

The cases are being processed, and will continue to do so. Better software will only help this situation, along with actually knowing where the person is.
Not saying they are the same, just that when centrists come together they get a lot of bad things done. Also not surprised spending is down after the US left Iraq, would be surprised if it wasn’t overall up though.

My point is, fighting “zealotry” is just a nice way of saying let’s make it easier for corporate centrism.
The 7 year loans could just mean people are choosing to buy more expensive cars, or have less money left over after other costs. I believe average selling prices are tracking inflation, but mandated safety and efficiency drives costs up. (I'm not saying this is a bad thing -- it just IS).

I agree with you on the "almost necessary" expenses. While nobody "needs" a $1000 smartphone, of course, it's hardly reasonable to not expect someone to complain about the cost of living unless they're adjusting their rabbit ears and using a tin cup and string. In particular, for many lower-income people, their (say) $400 smartphone might be their primary computing device

In other words, it's complicated!

There are absolutely meaningful differences between the parties, but the mainstream, and who we end up having to choose between, trend to the center, which is where the similarities are. I think a well-informed citizen must keep in mind the ways both parties rally to particular issues and can be hostile to common interests while differing, sometimes in huge and significant ways, on other things. You're right that the "they're the same thing" is blithe and shallow, but that doesn't mean there aren't similarities.
I started scheduling any meeting I ran for 25 minutes instead of the expected and default 60.

I told everyone at the start of each meeting that I aimed to finish in 20 mins and 5 mins was a buffer.

This leads to relentless

- don't discuss anything that is not relevant to every single person in the room

- limit the amount of "brainstorming" etc

I'm still not 100% sure that I'm not skipping Important Things somehow (especially when I see marketing have 3-4 hour long "syncs" with different sub-groups in a row, but I feel like we get enough done, often in as little as 10 mins.

The Catholic Church also held orgies in its sacred halls, enabled and hid a variety of pedophiles, and led a variety of violent conflicts for selfish gains. That doesn’t mean Catholicism is bad, or even “the church”. but citing a few saints as evidence that something is good is some pretty serious cherry picking.

Religious structure is good. People do better when they have a compelling framework and a strong social community. The issue with specific religions is it holds specific beliefs as a pre requisite, so it’s hard to just jump in amidst large bodies of diverse opinions and conflicting scientific evidence. Most people would benefit from joining any well intentioned religious group. And most of the moral arguments for any specific one tend to be compatible with the rest. So yeah, religion is generally a good thing for people; no, it’s not fair to claim it’s unilaterally good; and in general, mixing emotional arguments with world views on the nature of existence is likely to annoy others.
Hi, the content marketer here. I'm just quoting the presentation we gave at Google Cloud Next '19 almost exactly. Instead of making you watch a 30+ minute video, I outlined the core points from the presentation so that you could still be in the loop.

While I don't take offense to your comment, I think you made it for a reason. It's an ad hominem fallacy. These are our staff engineer's words almost to the letter, if I had posted it in his name would you have taken it at face value? I think it's important for us to ask these questions of ourselves and analyze why we form certain opinions.

That said, I do appreciate the feedback, and thank you for your comments. I'll try to keep your opinions in mind with future posts as I certainly never want to come off as having an "agenda." We're not running some BuzzGitFeedLab mill here :) .

I thought Andrew gave a wonderful presentation, and yes, we do use Pingdom as a tool to measure these things.
> turning MCAS back on

This was not a mistake, and it's wrong to characterize it as correct procedure not followed.

a. Strictly speaking, MCAS cannot be turned off. Autotrim can be turned off.

b. It's more clear than not, from at least the preliminary report on ET302, that the forces from MCAS induced mistrim at Vno were too high to manually retrim at the altitude they were at. The mistrim recovery maneuver requires releasing back pressure on the yoke to reduce the mistrim force in order for manual retrim to be possible. The transcript fairly clearly (not conclusively) suggests manual trim wheel would not budge. They were already at Vno at a low altitude, and it is reasonable they chose to reenable autotrim in order to gain leverage from the electric motor to overpower the wedged jackscrew.

At 05:43:11 (page 26 of the ET302 preliminary report) you can see two small trim events which are pilot yoke trim toggle switch electric motor assisted trim events; followed ~4 seconds later by an MCAS induced nose down trim that was a complete obscenity.

It was so extreme that the vertical acceleration sensor reports negative values. Only by being strapped in did they not hit the ceiling. That's how aggressive this last nose down MCAS initiation was, and within seconds later they were at 40 degrees nose down. For any automated system to have moved the stabilizer trim this much at Vno is a deeply flawed system. If a human pilot did the same thing in the same situation it would be considered attempted homicide, there is no possible alternative outcome but death for everyone.

You can correctly say: too bad they did not have our extreme mistrust of this MCAS system, too bad they did not realize at the time the extent of the betrayal they were facing. It is more clear than not that they still didn't know the details of how this system worked, that's why they didn't immediately return trim stab to shutoff after their two nose up trims.

It's flat out wrong to say the pilots did not follow proper procedure. They did follow it in the ET302 case. It didn't work. They almost certainly had to reenable stab trim, because the manual trim was stuck due to mistrim forces.
I think you're drastically underestimating the health impact of of driving. Public transit incorporates walking and you can relax on the train, read a book or stream something. Driving usually means stressful traffic, road rage, and overall lost exercise.
> Driving everywhere in Houston results in a hell of a lot higher quality of life than riding public transit everywhere in Boston.

Having lived in both places, and currently living in metro Boston without a car, I'm of the opposite opinion. To each their own.
Having only one answer in two years doesn’t imply the problem is hard.

I would think all ‘large enough’ puzzles of this kind are easy. You build a rectangle (needs four corners. If you don’t have those, no closed curve is possible), and use pairs of left-over curves to add detours to the straight ends, possibly compensating for an odd number of straight edges. I would guess there is an analog to Euler’s formula (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euler%27s_formula) that describes what number of small corners, large corners, and straight ends can form a large closed curve.

I also suspect ‘large enough’ isn’t that large, probably everything over 16 pieces or so (Smaller problems may be non-standard because they require effort to avoid overlap)
If that's so ironclad, then how do porn video sites stay in business?

Advertising is not the only way to generate revenue, and even if they want to go the advertising route, there are non-mainstream advertisers that may be interested.
>with the first amendment as it is interpreted in the US.

How do you think the 1st Amendment is interpreted that they don’t regulate speech of all kinds?

Defamatory speech, libelous speech, commercial speech, noise ordinances, permitting/zoning to limit when and where protests can be held, copyrights/trademarks, speech that interferes with government functions (ie burning drafts cards), advertising restrictions (no advertising tobacco/alcohol to children), regulation of speech of minors by schools and even child pornography are all government regulations of speech.
You're making a tremendous jump in thinking that the average user (or even most users!) of a site knows who owns it.
Because of a lack of end-to-end encryption? I'm still trying to wrap my head around it, but it uses TLS, so I'm not sure of the differences.
Is it worth it to compete with YouTube though?

The issue with YouTube in recent years, is that it's been treating its content creators and viewers as "product" and the advertisers as the users. YouTube has been pandering to executives in media and their particular thought bubbles while throwing users and content creators under the bus. (Or doing things specifically to increase centralized control for the sake of pandering to advertisers, to the detriment of users and content creators.)

Pornhub could well do better. (Or they could repeat the same mistakes.)

.22 ammunition uses rimfire priming, which requires unique machinery which as I recall no US company dared to buy more of, as mentioned in the Wikipedia article you linked to. Existing US 3 billion rounds per year + foreign imports couldn't keep up with the demand, which also seems to have included a lot of new gun owners, buying .22 models like their main guns or conversion kits for cheaper practice.

Perhaps related to this scam, I don't remember any company other than Remington building out a major increase in capacity, that article mentions their $32 million plant expansion. Companies were reluctant since they didn't know when demand and supply would get back in sync, I would also wonder if smokeless powder capacity was a factor, there aren't very many companies that make it.
My guess is the sheer volume of traffic they get makes it appealing for certain advertisers. Throw in the upselling to premium features and that they don't have to pay much if anything for the actual content, and there's probably some pretty good money to be made.
I would pay for a non-porn video site that was like YouTube used to be before Google started cracking down on content advertisers didn't like.
Go to relevant meetings and participate productively. When people need lots of meetings that is a signal that they need information, and if they need information perhaps consider thinking about how they would get said information.

As a manager, when people make it difficult to communicate with them, I eventually draw a negative inference about whatever they are (not) doing.

The only thing that wastes more time than meetings is complaining about meetings.

>How do you think the 1st Amendment is interpreted that they don’t regulate speech of all kinds?

I'm not quite sure what you mean by that, but if you're saying the first amendment is not some sort of absolute law, yes I know that.

I have worked with a small number of exceptionally talented individuals (I don't know where to draw the "genius" line, but they were up there), and I see negative aspects of their personalities echoed in Stephen Wolfram. It looks like ego to me. People lose their humility after being told that their better than everyone else for their whole lives.

Being an expert at one thing doesn't make you an expert at everything. But it's hard to realize that when you're king of your world.

A different perspective. Highly creative (smart) people are those who make mental connections that others do not see but which exist. Crazy people are those who make mental connections that others do not see and which don't exist. Perhaps he sees the Wolfram language is superior in some way that doesn't actually exist, or perhaps we're not seeing something that does.
Facebook app, Messenger, WhatsApp, Instagram all feel a bit repetitive in features. Like they're competing against each other in many ways. WeChat as a single mega app feels very unified. If Mark builds the next WeChat for the West, I'm curious to know how he will unify those apps.

You're right to be leery of anything he says. If only more people wouldn't equate power and fame with trustworthiness.
Some brands that sell lots of variants of similar items, like t-shirt stores, already do something close : they take a few shots of models in various poses, and then somehow "map" the pattern and color of the piece of clothing on those few shots, so really they need a model once and then they can do without.

I mean, the biggest issue is saying the team is affiliated with a porn site. But if "MindGeek" sponsored an eSports team, my guess is most people would be fine with it, in part because they didn't know that it was a company that owns porn sites.

While obviously they'd restore adult content to Tumblr, my guess is they'd keep Tumblr as a somewhat mainstream brand, and not let it be too directly associated with their existing properties to maintain mainstream appeal. A YouTube competitor would fall along the same lines.
