I'll play devils advocate here, and say that I could potentially see this idea working.

The difference between this and the plethora of different video services, is that the product here may not be the actual video service, but can be seen as a way to support the various video creators.

Most of the creators on Nebula are already drawing in pretty large followings on Patreon, so it's clear that they are able to retain dedicated audiences that will pay for content. Even as someone who doesn't watch much Youtube, I can recognize a lot of great channels, like CGP Grey, Lindsay Ellis, Crash Course, etc.

Also, I can totally see the advantage of having a service like this compared to youtube for kids. It's a bit scary how fast children are being exposed to the internet nowadays.

All that being said, it's clearly very difficult and risky to start a video service nowadays, but I think this has a slightly higher probability of being sustainable compared to many of the other offerings I've seen.
Presumably it’s always the same address every time they sign in. It is used for single sign on after all!

However, I wish email and sms would go away as a way to authenticate. Until it does I will be using foo+aliashere@gmail.com so that my account can’t get transferred to someone else through socially engineering a tired rep.
Neat. My new MacBook Pro has 256GB. I'm using ~133GB. That's XCode and the Xcode Beta, the full Office suite, Logic Pro, Firefox, Chrome, Safari, IntelliJ, GoLand, Photoshop, Illustrator, a bunch of other Adobe apps, and on and on. When I'm at the desktop I use an external drive for dumping junk to, and for Time Machine backups.

There is a point of diminishing returns, and given that most people don't have a giant Steam library on their Mac, 256GB is more than sufficient for a large number of users. And as many others have said, when you're working on professional data like video and audio it is almost always on an external array.
Meanwhile, the same thing is repeating in Sudan at the exact same day and nobody cares. Peaceful months long sit-in met with violence.

If I have to go dig up someone’s code to reproduce their result because I don’t believe/understand the idea in its published form, they’ve already lost me.

Word2vec is a great example of a piece of research that conveys a great idea with plausible results, where in fact, the numbers are less useful than the story behind them. Of course, google is a big corp that can just put out useful interesting stuff without worrying about how to play the science game.
That was a talk sponsored by the EKS team at Amazon, we ( at planetscale ) were working with them and our partner to show off how well we could scale, but since it was part of the EKS track we wanted to highlight the details of Kubernetes.
Truss | Infrastructure Engineer, Delivery Manager | San Francisco or DISTRIBUTED| https://truss.works

Particularly interested in Delivery Managers, and Infra Engineers with Javascript w/React, Go experience

Truss solves complex technical problems for the private sector and government. We helped rebuild Healthcare.gov after its public failure in 2013. We seek the highest standard both in terms of the technology we build, and the way we run our company. We'd love to chat with you.

We are a software consultancy known for pragmatism, autonomy, expertise, and trust. We build strong relationships with our clients, contractors, and employees and we believe that this is fundamental to doing great work. As a Truss engineer you will facilitate bringing Truss values (https://truss.works/values/) to those truly trying to make a difference in our government, and enable them to understand what their citizens actually need rather than implementing a perceived solution.

Here are some of the things we care about:
* Great communication! Including thoughtful listening skills, the ability to express complex ideas clearly and succinctly, and the ability to communicate well in writing
* The ability to deal well with ambiguity and act with autonomy
* Technology-agnostic and pragmatic engineering sensibility, focused on solving key problems for the customer, not the tools
* Proficiency in at least one commonly used programming language, such as Python, Ruby, Go, Javascript, Java, etc.
* Experience deploying at least one application that other people use
* Have held at least one engineering position post-education
* Initiative, curiosity, a bias for action, and a problem-solving attitude

We expect all Truss engineers to consistently develop new skills, and cross-train into new disciplines outside of their current areas of expertise.

So frustrating this wont be usable for most apps for at least 2 years.

Meanwhile Android, which yeah only 5% of users or something crazy small are on the latest version, will get to use the latest libraries on versions released 5+ years ago.
On the road to phasing out MacOS?
A weird thought crosses my mind...

"Justice delayed is justice denied"

Does an immediate "fine" on the spot deter criminal behavior?
> We watch Microsoft choke Netscape to death in the 90's, and at the end of the day nothing happened.

Well, yeah, nothing happened as the IE development was grounded to a halt.
Oh, I dunno, it wouldn't surprise me if iPadOS is a step in that direction, and some future laptop runs... iPadOS and there is no more MacOS.
To be exact, FreeBSD and macOS (based on NeXTStep) are both based on BSD, and contribute to each other. FreeBSD came out after NeXTStep was released though...
this crud is dangerous for motorists and distracts drivers with images on motorways. Im surprised this is permitted in California, and not seen as a misuse of the laws that keep screens away from drivers. (ie no double DIN displays showing movies, cellphones, etc)
It runs slower, so it helps encourage you to buy more expensive hardware.
SIP and Gatekeeper and one-time commands. I find disabling SIP to be much less painful than enabling unsigned drivers in Windows.

I wouldn't even classify turning off SIP as "slightly tricky". You boot into recovery mode, open the terminal, type in two words, and press enter.

Besides, this is separate from the GPLv3 question. You can absolutely recompile bash and replace macOS's version with your own, so I don't understand why this is a problem for Apple.
Youtube used to do that, until at some point they added the “bell” feature and converted all subscriptions to subscriptions-without-a-bell which means only some videos get put in your feed. Of course, if you go the extra step to click the bell icon you get the notifications like usual.
Yes it is anticompetitive. It is using Apple’s monopoly as gatekeeper of their app store.

Apple would have long ago been cited for Antitrust if Android hadn’t had most of the market. I personally think that the definition of a trust is too narrow — one member of an oligopoly abusing its position as a platform provider and strongarming people is also pretty bad.

>Meanwhile, people must tolerate anything Comcast pulls, though they certainly have a smaller share of the personal internet service provision market than Amazon does of the eretail marlet.

People have Satellite, Cell providers, and usually a DSL option to choose from if they don't like Comcast. Those aren't particularly good options, but realistically neither are the other browsers besides Chrome. Plus, the only other browser that people choose to use is Firefox and that's primarily funded through a deal with Google.

The problem is that Google has laid waste to many potential markets by giving products away for free to protect their ad monopoly. How can you start a competing company in Maps or Browser or mobile OS when your competitor is willing to spend billions to make their product and then give it away for free? The conundrum is is it harmful to consumers? Google gives away a bunch of high quality products for free but ultimately they all serve the Ad master.
The only code released by the 'Paragraph Vector' paper authors was a small patch, from Mikolov, that added paragraph-vectors to the original `word2vec.c` implementation in a very simple way: treating the 1st token of each line as a special paragraph-vector, still string-named (and allocated in the same lookup dictionary). Only by convention (a special prefix on those paragraph-vector tokens) could collisions with similarly-named word-vectors avoided.

That's a nice minimal way to demo/test the idea, but limited and fragile in other ways. The initial gensim implementation did something similar, then I changed it to use a separate doc-vectors space, to better support a lot of options (including the PV-DM mode with a concatenative input layer – which has never been confirmed to perform as well as the original paper implied).

True but who does this? The Android framework isn't built to support that reasonably at all, at least not until Jetpack Compose becomes viable.
Anyone who has never been to Brazil has no right to speak about this topic. Edit: I see the down-votes, but will stand my ground on this topic.
My perception is YouTube has a hostility toward independent creators, and this niche could be better served.

1. Copyright system is easy to abuse and harshly punishes people perceived as infringing.

2. Videos demonetized for unpredictable reasons.

3. Trending page is basically off limits to YouTubers in favor of corporate media. E.g. Logan Paul requires 11 million views to hit the trending page whereas ESPN requires 500k. Naturally ESPN trends much more than more popular YouTubers.
httpss://www.theverge.com/2019/5/29/18642833/youtube-trending-coffee-break-pewdiepie-late-night-sports-highlights

4. YouTube's discovery system is opaque. I have a small YouTube channel and my most successful video has about half a million views. This video has worse metrics than my other videos proportionally but somehow gets recommended a lot whereas my other videos don't and I have no idea why. Conversely, imagine YouTube shared details about what metrics you need to hit to get recommended or surfaced in the search page.

5. Discovery. As a small channel, it's tough to get views. Why not gamify this: if you average X watch time and Y likes on 3 videos, we'll put your video in the suggestions for 100 people who wouldn't see it otherwise. There should be an easy way to see who is streaming too, which is difficult for some unknown reason.

6. Help with content creation. YouTube must know what people are searching for on YouTube and what search queries have good or bad results. Why not give that information to creators? I could check and see that X people search for Y, and Y has really weak results. Okay, great, if I like X, I can put together a video to answer the query and collect some sweet views helping me and YouTube.

Not if collecting the fine is itself criminal behaviour.
I was wondering if there was a way to "tag" the serial numbers on a note used to pay a bribe, then track it's movement. But your proxy scheme shows it's been thought of.
> So the crow can distinguish between humans! Super smart creatures!

Even better (or worse, depending on your viewpoint), they apparently can tell other crows which humans are good and which are bad.

There were some experiments by crow researchers at the University of Washington where they would have people, wearing one of two masks, walk around campus near where crows were hanging out.

The people in mask A would annoy the crows--I forget if they captured and released them, or bothered their nests, or what, but it was something that did not harm the crows but did greatly annoy them.

The people in mask B would never bother the crows.

Months, even years, later, they found that if they sent out people in the masks, the crows would scold and harass and try to drive away the people in mask A, and ignore the people in mask B. This was true even among crows who had never been harassed by the mask A people, and even among crows that hadn't been born yet when that took place. They probably saw other crows scolding mask A people, could tell from the nature of the scolding that it was for something unforgivable, and so picked up doing it themselves.

You really should never mess with crows.

Probably best not to mess with any corvids. I read about a woman who regular fed some magpies. They figured out on their own that if they showed up early, ringing her doorbell would get her to come out with the food.

She was delighted with that behavior, but her husband was not, and would come out and try to scare the magpies away.

The husband soon found that when he would go out to leave for work, his car was covered in magpie shit, while his wife's car, parked next to his, was not.

These magnificent little genius bastards can tell us apart, can hold a grudge for generations, have a flock to back them up, fly, can produce copious amount of shit, and know we really dislike dealing with said shit. It's not worth fighting them.
Also whenever you want to update an app you purchased for the kids you have to log back into your account, and you just don't want kids poking into your stuff in general.
On day zero staggered means they still have access to ~100% of accounts.

Hackers with access to 100 million accounts generally can use any of them, but not all of them. So, in practice access to 1% or 100% of all accounts may be equally damaging.
American Threat to Huawei’s Chip Maker Shows Chinese Tech Isn’t Self-Sufficient
The biggest mark against this site is that it's basically what YouTube has been trying to do for years, and had failed at. If YouTube and their huge install base can't do it, I'm skeptical that nebula can.
I originally thought this post was related to Mark Sibly's trans-compiler, which I used in the past and enjoyed quite a bit:
http://monkeycoder.co.nz/
zsh was the default sh until OS X 10.2 or 10.3. However, the zsh version was quite out of date (3.x when 4.x was already mature/stable, IIRC). A horse race between the old zsh and the latest bash was jiggered to show bash as much faster, and therefore worth switching to, never mind that the then-current zsh demonstrated performance parity with bash.

Source: I was tasked with the performance comparison and (despite my objections) the conversion to bash. On the bright side, I learned a lot about zsh in the process and have used it as my shell rather than bash ever since.

The "newer versions" are the one just announced today and releasing in September, so you're not too far behind the curve :)
Apple's customer base seems to be suffering some kind of collective Stockholm Syndrome, they definitely "think different" and bend over and cough when requested.
I find 256GB fine for writing apps. I think more space would be a waste compared to a faster processor to speed up my compile times. If I had infinite money I'd probably put any additional space on extra drives as a RAID array to help with IO read bottlenecks during compiling since I don't have any use for more.

I totally understand gamers need more space, people who collect movies and videos need space, graphic designers need more space. Maybe even Android OS developers need it due to the Android Open Source Project, AOSP, having like 100 repos you need to clone all at once. I don't need it as an app developer, though.

Apple has a history of offering small base storage/memory options, and then charging more for the upgrade versions than they physically cost to produce. It's how they make different price level products when the products are all fundamentally the same. This lets them cater to poorer customers than they could otherwise since the rich ones buy the overpriced upgrades and subsidize the poorer customers' hardware. So it isn't all bad.
You've obviously never read E. E. "Doc" Smith.
I've been to Brazil. Stayed in Rio for 5 days. Went to Sugarloaf Mountain and saw Cristo Redentor. Saw a regional "futbol" match, got drunk and danced the night away. Never stepped foot into a favela, closest I got was as I flew into and out of the airport there.

Why do I have a right to speak about Brazilian favelas and a (team of) reporter(s) whose done dozens (or hundreds) of hours of research on the topic does not?

Considering how well paid tech is, and how willing we are to resign ourself to our little HN bubble, I'm unsurprised to see the claim made so often here.
The original idea behind "reproducible" is that the ideas conveyed in the paper should be enough to reproduce the results. Physicists and biologists are not expected to drive over to your lab to figure out what's wrong with your setup.

Now, that said, reproducibility is terrible in many fields. CS has an opportunity to act as a trailblazer here, but it should be noted that this would be holding themselves to a higher standard than their peers in other fields. As a result, there's going to be a learning process for everyone as they figure out how to make this all work. :)
Tidal is a perfect analogy. It's a bunch of artists sitting around saying "hey, what if we just stopped caring about what our customers want?"
AMP is like the bogeyman here on HN, when it is really just another web framework.

>The pages are hosted on google.com

Anyone can roll their own AMP pages and host it on their domains. For example: https://amp.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/6yj6iw/what_did_...

This includes getting your own amp lightning icon in search results when you host with certified CDNs.
Making it OO on a system with so little memory available to apps was an especially weird basic decision, I thought. There were cases where memory use was unavoidably bloated for no good reason, and meanwhile there wasn't enough space to actually do any architecture-astronaut OO stuff.

I wished the whole time they'd just given me a somewhat locked-down C, and I'm only a C-dabbler so that's not a preference I'd have due to great familiarity or anything.

It was overall somewhat more unpleasant, but less weird, than writing code for Roku. Most of the Roku weirdness was just because they had some new very-much-halfassed XML programming system you had to use for new apps at the time, which forced you to define public interfaces for objects in XML for no good reason while doing the actual work in Brightscript, which isn't gonna win any language design awards ever but is at least usable. Plus it's obscure so figuring all that out was tons of fun.
Unfortunately, the 'right' tasks for high TC are too often things like Google+

I am not sure. Cruel, yes. But it is the 'survival of the fittest' attitude, which although cruel, is natural.

Sounds like the coolest computer in the city.
As someone who supports multiple youtubers on patron, I am really sceptical of these alternative services. For instance, I really enjoyed motortrend's roadkill series, but haven't bothered once they moved to motortrend.com. One huge advantage, and one of the reasons I canceled Netflix, is that I can easily see in one place what is new. If I have a half-hour to kill, I don't want to have to check 8 different sites, I'd rather just open up my subscriptions tab.

Perhaps what is actually necessary is a RSS equivalent, since I fully understand how YouTube is screwing creators. But this (and the equivalent projects, like LinusTechTips' floatplane) just seem like they are destined to follow vimeo.
dang. that is a bummer. i picked up a MacPro5,1 from a govdeals auction and it is a pretty nice computer. it even runs dark mode in OSX Mojave. guess it's days are numbered =(

i do have to say though, the single core performance of my MacPro5,1 is pretty abysmal. even with similar clock speeds, my 2015 mac mini is 50% faster in single core performance.
I was checking their ToS to see if they'd allow creators demonetized by youtube and found this clause:

> Refusal to vaccinate your children may result in the termination of your service and, probably, your children.

While I agree refusal to vaccinate your children is dumb, they're starting off on the wrong foot by already setting a very awkward line in the sand. What about hawking fake cures for cancer like vinegar?

Either they need to go full moderation/walled garden, or entirely hands off. Trying to land in the middle is going to end with a bunch of people exploiting their precise ToS and legitimate users being annoyed at lack of clarity.
Typically when I post code for my papers, I try to clean it up, because it's an ugly mess that is hard to understand (even myself sometimes). This clean up process might introduce bugs. I'm not going to thoroughly test everything, I have next paper deadline coming up and my adviser could not care less about my code. But, if you're interested in my research and having trouble reproducing my results, email me and I'll help you.
>For his part, Joe Biden has long served as a friendly voice for U.S.-China relations, even before his son’s investment ventures. The elder Biden helped lead Democratic support to passing permanent national trade relations with China.

>In 2000 remarks in support of the vote, Biden argued that he did not “see the collapse of the American manufacturing economy” as a danger from opening up further trade with China, claiming that an economy “about the size of the Netherlands” could not become “our major economic competitor.” Opening China to further trade, Biden predicted, would create “a path toward ever greater political and economic freedom” for the country’s citizens.

I think that the belief that better economic development leads to better human rights and more freedom has suffered a lot of setbacks recently.
